Two native women came and saw the body and departed wailing and shortly after they too were found in their camp with their throats cut. All three are dead. MELBOURNE, Aug. 5. Received sth, 10.30 p.m. It having been suggested that the missing ship Stoneleigh may have been wrecked on the Auckland Islands the New Zealand Government will probably be communicated with on the subject. At the meeting of the Commercial Bank the report was adopted. ADELAIDE, Aug. 5. Received stb, 10.30 p.m. A serious labour difficulty has arisen at Port Adelaide. The lumpers engaged on the intercolonial steamers have struck against the altered rate of wages paid. For two hours’ work on Saturday they have hitherto received 3s, which is as much as for 2! hours on any other day, aud the owners seek to make Saturday a quarter day of 2! hours. The strike only applies to Saturday work and is not likely to affect other week days, but meanwhile the refusal to work the steamers on Saturday is causing serious delay.
