Auckland, Monday Evening. A Maori reported to the police to-day the loss of £93 in notes and gold, ije believed that he Lad been robbed. It was ultimately ascertained that he had dropped the money in the Auckland Hotel. Miss Eadcliffe, barmaid, found it and restored it. She received a present of £5 from the owner. ] Nothing further has been heard of the Alice Cameron. It is now nearly certain that the vessel must have fallen in with , a hurricane, and foundered. What more ' especially points to the conclusion that some sad fate has befallen her is that two vessels, the Jewess and the Leba M. Long, left Newcastle for Hongkong about the same date, one on the same day, one the day before the departure of the Alice Cameron, and neither have since been heard of. This makes it likely that all three have been overwhelmed in one common disaster. This day. A man named Charles Blake has been arrested for robbing Thomas Rennie, a seaman, with great violence. He decoyed him into Symonds-street, knocked him down an embankment, wounded him about the head, and then took £3 15s. An accident occurred on the wharf this morning. They were shipping an old Russian ,cannon for Napier, and when hoisting it aboard the cogs of the crane gave way. Three pieces of metal flew off, burying themselves several inches in sacks of corn lying near. Although there were many bystanders present none were injured. The metal was projected with such force that it would probably have been fatal to any person struck. The cannon fell heavily on the wharf, but with comparatively trifling injury. Sharemarket very dull. Only salesi Bank of New Zealand, £17 15s ; Caledonian, £8. Buyers of Bright Smile, 60s. Sellers : Thames, 40s ; Albion, first, 60s; Moanatairi, 40s; Cure, 9s 6d.
