Panama, July 23, 1966. ‘Be pioneer steamer Kaikoura, of the new line to Wel- Jington and Sydney, reached this pert atsix P. M. on the ‘20th inst. This vessel was advertised to arrived bere on tive 5th inat., but owing to ber non-arrival at Sydney be- fore the appointed time of sailing, she was detained in arder to exactly connect with the next mail to England. Sho brivgs news from Australta to the 15th, and from New Zealand to the 26th of June. ‘The Kaikdura made a fine run from Wellington to Panama, the eutire voyage occupying only twenty-six days—her average speed being a fraction over ten knots an hour. She isa vessel illy calculated, however, for the work she will sooner or later be obliged todo, Her passenger accommodations are ample enough ; but, being ‘nly » thonsand ton veasel she has little or no cargo room left after coaling for a twenty eight days’ qwoyage. The supposition is, when it is practi- «aly demonstrated to the directors that the line quill pay, they will replace the class of vessels ‘tm use at present, with larger ones, fully capable of earrying whatever cargo may be offered, and place the eld steamers in the intercolonial lines which they may ‘hereafter tablish. But for the present they rely colely on the passenger traffic, and do not solicit carzo, other pehan small packages, at ‘all. That the lines will pay isa Foregone conclusion, yet cautious John Bull must have aetaai proof of this fact before he expends any more than a merciy nowinal sum. AVETRALIA. No strange events of a political character had trans- pired in New Zcalend during the spring and summer. The Colonial Parliament was summoned for tho de- wpatch of business on the 24th of July.

Judge Stuart, who appeared for the prisoner, said he wished for a postponement of this case until the accused respectable imerchant, who was ut pres nt out of town, From tue information he (Judge Swuart) bad received he believed that this case would show vury Lefarious con- doct on the part of the officcrs who made the arrest. They watched, dogged, followed and entreated this young inan to buy counterfeit money with money sup- plied by one of the officers. Mr. Courtney sald if the facts were as Judve Stuart represented he publicly announced that be would have nothing whatever to do with the case. The case was adjourned, as waa also that of William Gurney, which may be taken up to-day. THE CASR OF RANRY HOLMES LIAS HALL. Mr, Chatfteld summed up the evidence on the part of the prisoner. He contended that, startling as the an- noancement might appear, there was no offeuce proved against the prisoner at all, and that he was entitled to be | discharged without bail and without being furtner re- quired to answer. He argued that Treasury” notes wero merely circulating medium, and were not securities ac- cording to the words of the statute, and there was no statute, he thought, which made it an offente to have possession of « plate of a Treasury note. Mr. Courtney—I had intended to make but few re- marks on the law and tho facts as they have been de- veloped in the evidence regarding this case, but in con- sequence of the course adopted by the learned gentie- man on the other side I shall be obliged to trespass for some time on the attention of the court. Counsel in opening the case devoted considerable time to an ex- amination of tho statute or statutes undor which he supposes this offence is ehi»red, and has on- deavored to couvince your Houer by making the most remarkable statement ever heard in a court of justice—that there is no statute which reaches, if this case is proved, the heinous offence charged against the prisoner. If that statement is correct, it is high time that the Congress of the United States should take some action to remedy the difficulty, But if your Honor please, those gentlemen who made statutes, w! enacted those laws for the protection of the government as well as of its citizens, understood, I think, what they were doing, and the learned counsel, with all bis in- genuity, skill and ability, must have overlooked the pur- port and meaning of those statntes, because, tw my mind, even on the most cursory examination, those statutes under which gwe are acting are large and broad enongh to cover and reach every offemce proved against tha prisoner, gould be enabled to have an interview with his ‘asker, a | THE FAT BOILING ESTABLISH ewTs, Against the Board ef Wvalth strong Anidn- vite in Favor of Both Sidra Lively Time Among the Fat Men.

The answer set forth that the busi- ness of fat boiling was very injurious to health, and ‘ought to be at once put an end to unless properly ‘con- trolled. The covers used in fat boiling were entirely use- less for the purposes claimed on the part of plaintiffs, The affidavits of several parties were produced to sub- stantiate these assertions, Dr. Horatio Payne testified that he had visited the os- tablishments and examined the covers, and foand they were wholly inefficient for the purposes intended, Dr. E.
