EMIGRATION TO QUEENSLAND
--------
THE Golden City, which arrived from London on
Tuesday, and is at present lying in Queenstown
harbour, took on board yesterday 237 emigrants for
Queensland. The Golden City is one of the Black Ball
line of emigrant vessels, and one of the finest
passenger ships that ever entered this port, as regards
symmetry, sailing powers, and accomodation. A large
number of passengers, with their luggage, proceeded
to Queenstown last evening, and the evening before,
by the Queenstown Direct Railway. Mr. O'Leary, the
active and obliging stationmaster at Queenstown,
superintended their arrival there, and took care to
transfer them safely to the hands of the local agents,
the Messrs. Scott. The passengers were all safely on
board at midday yesterday. The Golden City is to sail
to-day.

News anticipated.


QUEENSTOWN PETTY SESSIONS--YESTERDAY.
------------
(Before Captain MARTIN, R.N., and Mr. THOMAS H.
TARRANT.)
FIFTEEN of the crew of the emigrant ship, Golden City,
bound from London to Queensland with passengers, were
brought before the bench under a warrant, charged with
having refused to proceed on the voyage.
Mr. R. H. O'Bryen, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Brown,
the master of the ship, and stated that the fifteen prisoners
were articled seamen of the Golden City and shipped in
London for the voyage to Queensland, but having spent the
amount of the advances made to them by the owners, they
now wished to get rid of their engagement in the hope of
getting another ship and another advance.
The Master, William Brown, sworn, deposed that the
weather was very bad during the run from London to
Queenstown, and in consequence of this both he and the
crew had to be continually at work ; on Sunday the men
had to put pareling on to prevent the chafing of the standing
rigging ; the hurry to leave London did not admit of the
pareling being put on in port ; the accomodation in the
forecastle was superior to that of any merchant ship that he
had ever seen ; the wet the men complained of was caused
by the cables in the hause holes ; when in the channel it was
necessary to keep the cables bent ; at sea the hause holes
would be plugged up and the cables drawn in ; the men had
plenty of matting to stop up the holes, and there were
seizings and spun yarn to make them secure ; there were
only a few tubs of pitch and some cable in the forecastle,
which were put there in the hurry of leaving dock and
would be stowed away below ; the men got no unnecessary
hardship ; the weather was very bad and they had to do a
good deal of work.
Captain Martin--Are there hoses over the hause holes?
Witness--No, sir, I have never seen any. On the 16th the
prisoners refused to obey my orders ; they would not work,
and they refused to continue the voyage. I called them aft to
ascertain the nature of their complaints, but they refused to
come off the poop. I did everything in my power for the
comfort of the crew, but for the first two or three days in a
ship things are not settled.
The mate and boatswain deposed that the crew were not
worked more than necessary for the safety of the ship and
all on board, and that in their opinion the prisoners had no
cause of complaint ; the constant work was caused by the
bad weather on the passage to Queenstown.
The Prisoners, addressing the bench, said they required
witnesses for their defence, but were unable to give the
names of the persons they proposed to examine. When
pressed to do so Captain Martin said any witnesses they
could point out would be sent for.
The Prisoners--We don't know any of them, sir.
Captain Martin--Have you received the amount of your
advance notes?
The Prisoners--We have, sir.
Captain Martin--Then you are robbing your owners, and
that is not a creditable thing for sailors to do. You ought to
fulfil your agreement when paid in advance for doing so.
The Prisoners--We will not go on board of her again,
sir.
Captain Martin said he regretted that such was the
determination of the prisoners. He strongly advised them to
return to their duty.
The Prisoners still declined to return to their ship.
Captain Martin--To show that the law will not allow
seamen to disobey orders, and act dishonestly, my brother
magistrates and myself have come to the conclusion of
imprisoning the twelve men who got cash for their advance
notes, namely,--Alfred Mammont, Alfred Kettle, Charles
Gripps, Charles William Allen, Robert Woodlock, George
Ahearn, Joseph Steward, Joseph Daly, Charles Blatt, John
Dunne, Harman Sunderland and William Warren, for eight
weeks with hard labour. The three other men--namely
Robert Large, William West, and Peter Erickson, alias
Hettercham, who have not acted dishonestly by turning their
advance notes into cash, to the loss of the owners of the
ship Golden City, we will only sentence to the lenient
punishment of 14 days' imprisonment, as we consider they
were led on by those men, who, it would appear, only
shipped for the purpose of obtaining a month's advance
without intending to work for it.
The Prisoners applied to have their clothes sent on shore.
Mr. Tarrant--We have no power to make any such
order. You still belong to the ship, and the captain, if he
thinks fit, has the power of taking you on board again.
Mr. O'Bryan--Your Worships, the clothes of the men
who are indebted to the ship will be sent on shore if they
return the money we paid them in advance ; the clothes of
the men who are not indebted to the ship will be sent on
shore.
The Prisoners were then removed by the Sub-Inspector
of Police and his men.
As the sailors had complained of their forecastle, Captain
Martin visited the ship to judge for himself of the cause of
complaint. Having inspected the forecastle and caused it to
be measured, he found that all the requirements of the law
were complied with, and that the complaints were
groundless. Captain Martin was then shewn over the ship
and expressed himself pleased with the arrangements on
board. The apparatus for distilling 300 gallons, per day, of
fresh from salt water, being at work, the Captain tasted the
water and pronounced it excellent.

[The Golden City arrived at Moreton Bay 4 March 1863. On a subsequent
voyage, it was driven ashore in a gale at Lady Elliot Island, Queensland
coast, 13 July 1866.]

THE "PERSIA."
--------
THE explanation of the delay in the arrival of the Persia
is that when three days on her voyage her starboard piston
was found to be disabled. At starting the wind was
easterly, but fortunately it changed to the west about the
time the accident occurred. From that period, with only
one engine working, the Persia made 250 miles a day up
to the last two days when the speed reached 280 miles
per day. The Persia arrived in the harbour about one
o'clock, and cast anchor between the forts. She landed
thirty passengers.

in consequence of the heavy rains, which renderd the

ashore at Colon on the 22nd, during a heavy northern

of Dundee, has been totally wrecked. The Federal war
steamer Bambridge, and merchant steamer Ocean
Queen, narrowly escaped destruction and sustained much

when the Federal steamer San Jacinto arrived there, and

WONDERFUL ESCAPE.--Truth is often stranger than fiction.
On Saturday as William Hoskins, of Greenwich, was in his
boat near the Maplin Sands, on the look-out for ships, the
wind increased to a gale, and drifted him far to leeward.
When near the Middle Deep, he saw a barge, the Matilda, of
London, at anchor, with colours half-mast high, and when he
boarded her he found the barge deserted. The vessel parted
from her anchor, and drifted about in all the fearful weather
until Sunday night, when she struck on the French coast,
about six miles west of Calais, and became a total wreck.
Hospins was washed ashore on a bundle of straw (a bundle
of straw will sustain the human frame in the water for many
hours). The British consul at Calais sent him across to the
Dover Sailors' Home by the French mail packet Queen.
--Dover Chronicle.


The screw-steamer Calcutta lately took out a pack of
hounds for the Madras Hunt. The dogs, thirty-one in number,
are beautiful specimens of their race, and have received a
thorough training in their work. Already they have been tested
at Madras, and found fully up to the work.
