Per Press Association—Copyright.
Received Dec. 6, 1.10 a.m. Sydney, Dec. 5. Sailed.—H.M.S. "Powerful, flagship of the Australian Squadron, for Auckland.
A verdict of suicide was returned in Horton 's case.
Melbourne, Dec. 5. The House of Representatives is discussing the timber duties. Mr Thomas, M.P. for New South Wales, moved an amendment that Oregon and New Zealand pine be admitted free. The discussion is proceeding. The case of Frederick Hunt, who has lost his memory, excites interest. Hβ remembers nothing that occured since 1887, when he was thiry years of age. He asserts that he is Lieut, of the flagship Nelson, and demands to be allowed to return to the vessel. That he is 50 years old and has a wife and child, he treats as a joke. Hides are dull; lower all round.
Adelaide. Dec. 5. Sailed.—Manurewa, for New Zealand.
