A SAD CATASTROPHE. June 14. The schooner Samos, from Fiji brings intelligence of the drowning of Allen Baillie, formerly warden of the Thames, off the Island of Mckogai. He had purchased the schooner Beatrice, and left Levuka for Mokogai, when a squall struck her, and she careened over and sank. Baillie and two Sandwich men clung to the scuttle and were washed about. The
Natives tried to sustain him, but he became exhausted, raleased his hold, bade the Natives good-bye, and sank. A concert has been got up in favour of his family. The City Council decided not to grant pecuniary assistance to the Mechanics' Institute, on the ground that it would produce no permanent benefit. Arrived—Freetrader, from Melbourne, after a stormy passage of 20 days. The hatches were burst in.
