LAUNCHING THE AUSTRALIA. SIR GEORGE, REID’S REMARKS. (Received 27, 8.5 a.m.) London, October 26. Sir George Reid, in a speech at the launching ol' the Australia, said treaties of peace between Britain, France, and America were all very well, but what was wanted was such treaty with Germany. That would mean something to trade and commerce. In the meantime warships prevented wrong and preserved peace. In that spirit they launched the Australia. Admiral Henderson said the Commonwealth was creating a naval spirit to fit her to be an efficient member of the Empire, which was more than ever dependent on a sea power.

THE MARY ISABEL.

iJ’or Press Association.) Auckland, October 27. It lias been reported to the Collector of Customs that a cask lias been washed ashore on the Great Harrier. It was ascertained no wreckage bad come ashore. It is probable that the cask was thrown overboard from the barquentine Mary Isabel while she was on the voyage from Auckland to Tauranga some time ago. It is unlikely that it lias any connection with the present lengthy trip of that vessel.
