Turnbull and Co.’s s.s. Stormbird arrived yesterday morning at an earlv hour from "Wanganui. She succeeded in getting out over 100 bales wool: loaded up again for Wanganui, and proceeded on her return trip at 9 p.m. The s.s. Napier also arrived, discharged her inward cargo, took in freight, and went her return way shortly after nigh tfall yesterday. The s.s. Wellington arrived from the North yesterday morning, lost no time in unloading and loading, and proceeded South in the evening. Yesterday was an exceedingly 'busy day on the wharf, and the throng of expresses and drays was so great that it was at times impossible to “move on.” On one occasion a complete block occurred, and it was some time before the throng of vehicles could extricate themselves, and the traffic proceed. S'-me bulky packages have been lying on the v wharf for some days. Surely these could have been removed ere now. In particular, a huge red package, contafning most likely some agricultural machine, has been 4 aking up a third of the breadth of the wharf, many feet in length, for several days past, and yet it is on wheels, and could apparently be drawn away with little trouble. Messrs. McMeckan, Blackwood and Co.'s s.s. Claud Hamilton, Captain Bawden, arrived from Melbourne via Southern ports yesterday morninsr. She cleared Fort Phillip Headg at C p.m. on December 5, and passed the Sisters at noon the following day; experienced fresh easterly winds, veering to the south as she approached the land; and passed the Solander at 5 p.m. on the 10th, and went on slowly through the Strait; lay off Dog Island until daybreak of the ilth, then ran into the Bluff, landed mails, passengers and cargo, and left at 5 p.m.; encountered a heavy N.E. sea until arrival at Port Chalmers at 9 a.ra on

Left Lyttelton for Wellington at 1 p.m. on the 10th inst.; experienced S.S.JE. winds with very thick weather while running along the coast; passed Cape Campbell at 4,30 a.rn. yesterday morning, and arrived alongside the wharf at 6 a.m. We are indebted to the purser (Mr. Crotty) for report and files. Aixegej> Mukdehs at Sea. —At the Thames Police Court on Tuesday, Horatio Walter, captain of the Emily Augusta, lying in the Mlllwall Dock, was brought up on remand before Mr. Lushington, charged with having caused the death of several Asiatic seamen on board; and Robert Smith, the first mate, was charged with ill-usage on board. Mr. Mead, barrister, instructed by Mr. Pollard, from the Treasury, conducted the prosecution; and Mr. ' Straight, barrister, appeared for the defendants. Mr. Young, Inspector of the K Division, watched the case on behalf of the Commisirioners of Police, cook, tue second mate, who gave evidence in the case of a Lascar named Abdulla, was cross-examined by Mr. Straight, and said that he did not notice if Abdulla ate opium, and had not seen him under the influence of brandy. The captain and the first mate continually complained of the filthiness of the Lascars on board, and they appeared to him to be a lazy lot of fellows. He remembered one occasion when Abdulla was called to relieve the quartermaster at the wheel, and he would not go. lie was insolent to witness, and declined to do his duty, and the captain gave him two or three slaps with a rope’s-end. He had found Abdulla asleep at the wheel. From the commencement of the voyage the captain had the greatest possible difficulty to get the men to do their work. On one occasion, he remembered, the whole of the Lascars refused to wash the decks in the morning, and ho complained to the captain. The man called Borough Tindal was placed in irons on one occasion. It might be six or seven times that he had seen the captain strike Abdulla with a belaying pin. He had struck some of the men with a rope’s-end. Abdulla refused to go to the wheel, saying he had not been shipped for it. As far as he recollected, Abdulla had been getting on very well. The document produced was in the first mate’s handwriting. Borough Tindal said he often heard Abdulla cry, and he showed him his head, from which blood flowed. He had seen this ten or twelve times. Abdulla came to him the day before he died, and *aid, “My arm is broken.” The deceased was set to make a mat, but could not do so, .and the captain struck him three times at the back of the head and neck. He fell, and the captain kicked him two or three times. "While the ship was off Cork the captain asked him to sign a paper. He asked why he should sign any paper, when the captain hit him on the head with a belaying pin. His head was split and the blood flowed. After he had washed hia head, the captain, who was alone in the cabin, called him in, and, showing him a paper, said, “I want you to sign your name." He asked why he should sign liis name, and said he did not now know what the paper was about. The captain pulled a pistol out of his pocket and said, *‘J'll sign you.” For fear of his life lie signed the paper. The captain called all the men, one by one, into the cabin, and he signed their names. Peter Brown deposed to seeing the captain strike Abdulla on the forehead with a ring

he had on his finger, and out it. He also stated that he saw the captain strike him with a belaying pm once on the thigh and another time on the head. While the vessel was iu the Millwall Dock he saw the captain take some clothes with blood on them from one of the men’s chests, and throw them overboard. The prisoners were again remanded for a week ,— hlas--oOty Herald, October 17.
