A bankrupt named John Henderson, was yesterday, at the Supreme Court in Christchurch, sentenced to three month’s imprisonment for not keeping proper books and accounts. Miss Alice Cornwell, who has gained a reputation by the successful disposal of Australian mining ventures in England, leaves Adelaide for London on Monday next (says the “South Australian Register” of February 28), to fulfil several missions, not the least important being to win tho favorable attention of the British capitalists to the outer harbor soheme which Mr Rowland Rees, M.P., has devised for South Australia. In order to he in a better position to explain the advantages of the scheme, Miss Cornwell, accompanied by Mr Rees, went over the site of the proposed harbor between the Semaphore and Largs Bay on Wednesday. She was enabled also to take a bird’s eye view of the surrounding country from the timeball tower. She studied the foreshore and went into the question of the position of the piers it is proposed to erect, and also the area and material that would have to be dredged to secure the requisite depth. Miss Cornwell says that she gathered a lot of valuable information on the whole subject from Mr Jagoe, and that she is confident that the scheme will prove a success. Mr Rees's plans, she considers, are very cleverly worked out, and the scheme generally is far preferable to that suggested by Sir John Goode. She speaks with some assurance as to the prospect of the scheme in England, feeling certain that the capitalists there will provide all tho money necessary for the undertaking. As to Port Adelaide, Miss Cornwell thinks that it would be shortsighted policy for any of the Port Adelaideans to oppose the scheme, because the carrying of it out would mean the extension o! Port Adelaide down to the sea, the reclamation of a large quantity of land, and an immense tale petus to trade, besides the raising of thvalue of property through the whole district,
