AUCKLAND.
February 26. Grarrard, the unemployed agitator, charged his wife at the'Police Court today with ill-using and threatening to poison him. Mrs Garrard said that her husband was a loafer, and would talk but not work. The magistrate dismissed the case, advising them to settle their domestic differences amicably. Mr Eocheforth, the barrister, has advised Taiaroa that he is still a member of the Legislative Council, and therefore ineligible to hold a seat, if elected, for the Maori electoral district in the House of Eepresentatives. The captain and mate of the Isabella Pratt both swore that the lights were burning on the schooner up to the time of the collision. The mate said that he examined them after the steamer came in sight. The Southern Cross has arrived from Levuka. Particulars about the gale show that the previous reports of damage done were greatly exaggerated. The steamers Go-ahead and Phoenix sank alongside the wharf, but have since been raised. The schooner Tasman was wrecked alongside the wharf, and several cutters were stranded. The damage ashore was not very serious. With the exception of the unroofing of Judge Gome's house, the injuries were confined to damage to verandahs. The celebrated chief Manfa is dead.
