{Press Telegraph Agency.') Auckland, July 5. Mr Waymouth’s boat building yard has been completely wrecked by last night’s gale. Messrs Henderson and Spraggon’s yards were also damaged. There was other minor damage, but chiefly to small crafts, and it is very widely distributed. At the Supreme Court, Mr Justice Gillies, in charging the jury, congratulated them on the lightness of the calendar and the absence of crimesof forgery, embezzlement, and false pretences, once very common. In allusion to a charge against a landlord at the Thames for obtaining forcible entry to his house after giving the tenant notice to quit, his Honor said there was no doubt that landlords so behaving were guilty of the crime of forcible entry. A landlord had no right to use force to obtain possession of his property, nor even to make a show of violence in order to overawe a tenant into obedience to his wishes. Grahamstown, July 5. There was a terrific north-west gale and extraordinary high tide last night, A large amount of damage was done, Grahamstown was flooded, the water being over a foot deep in some of the stores at the shore end, Mr Thompsoc’s timber wharf was carried away, and there is a large gap in the Grahamstown wharf. The Tararua wharf was nearly all carried away. It is believed to be damaged beyond redemption. The gardens along the beach had the soil washed off, and there were fears of the quay being carried away. The Grahamstown and Tarua Tramway Company’s engine shed was destroyed, the sea wall having been undermined. Wellington, July 5. The new arrangement between the Banks came into force to-day, and discounts now •ire —7 per cent under ninety-five days, and 8 per cent above that period, while the highest rate of interest to be allowed is per cent. It is expected that this will re lease a great deal of money which was with drawn from the ordinary channels of invest merit so long as the Banks gave 7 per cent for deposits. The Tribune understands that the Govern raent will support the re-appointment of M O’Rorke as chairman of committees of th House of Hepresentalives, There is nolikely to be any opposition
