Departures - June 25 - Southern Cross, s.s. for Northern ports. Passengers - Messrs LEVINSOHN, FORDHAM, RICHARDSON, HEPBURN, and ADEANE. June 26 - Comet, ketch, Captain CLARKSON, for Dunedin. June 26 - Catlin, ketch, for Dunedin. June 26 - Lily, schooner, Captain BLOOM, for Lyttelton. June 26 - Orpheus, schooner, Captain SMITH, for Timaru. June 26 - Flying Scud, three-masted schooner, Captain CORLETT, for Sydney. At the R.M. Court yesterday, two men who gave the names of William ROBINSON and John BROWN, but who are supposed to be usually known by different appellations, were each fined 5s and costs for drunkenness. Charles SLADE, who has been "up" several times recently, was fined 10s and costs for drunkenness. For damaging property at the Spit, the property of Jessie M'VICAR, defendant was ordered to pay 1 pound 7s 6d, or to be imprisoned with hard labor for a week. The mean thief Patrick M'CLUSKEY, whose paltry and cowardly depredations were narrated in our last issue, got his deserts at the R.M. Court yesterday. There were four charged against him, as the goods he stole from the forecastle of the Flying Scud belonged to four seamen on that vessel. He was sentenced to three months' hard labor on each information, the sentences to be cumulative, so that Patrick M'CLUSKEY will have a year during which to ruminate.
