SS 473 a LANDON, FRIDAY, JULY 17. Tas Overland Mail has brought from New Zea land intelligence which on the face of it appears to forebode a renewal of the Maori war. The Province of Taranaki has again been the wane of bloodshed, and eight of our countrymen have fallen before an unsuspected foe. On the morning of May 4 a party of the 57th Regiment, consisting of Dr. W. A. Hors and Lieutenant T. H. Tscorrr, with two sergeants, a corporal, and five privates, was on its way from Tatarimaku to New Plymouth on military duty. As they were in the act of crossing the Wairau stream they were fired at from the scrub, at a dis tance of about twenty yards. Three of the party, including one of the Europeans, appear to have fallen at the first volley, and immediately thirty liaories made their appearance and began to spear and tomahawk the wounded. In a few minutes eight lay dead on the road, one man contrived to escape, and of the tenth there are no tidings. The news of this disaster, carried to New Ply mouth by a native in the service of the Government, and soon confirmed by other testimony,caused intense excitement in the settlement. The two officers were highly popular, and all the men bore a good name, it being said that " there were not better "in the regiment." Alarm guns were at once fired from the town, and messengers were sent out to bring in all who were out ,ion their farms or at work in the bush. At the same time a proclama- non was published calling out the militia for actual 1 1 service, and by nightfall two hundred were under , arms. The intelligence at present received does not enable us to judge how much opposition our authority is likely to encounter. The natives con cerned in this murderous attack belonged to a branch of one of the Taranaki tribes. It is now known, however, that the Waikato', who are the best organized of the Maories, and assume the leadership of the race, bad just before driven away all the Europeans living among them, taking from them the native women and half-caste children, and declaring their intention to descend upon Taranaki to fight. It is reported that as many is 600 had left for Taranaki for this purpose. It is said that the natives were building a pah and digging rifle-pits at a short distance from the scene of their attack. General CLMIOLON has marched a body of troops to Oakum, ands building a redoubt on native land. He has in formed the militia that be expects reinforcements, and it is generally believed that he will soon be actively engaged. Those in the colony who have hitherto disap proved of Sir GIORGI GREY'S native policy point to the recent occurrences as proofs of the justice of their mistrust. They say that the only thing the natives understand is power, and they call for a general war against the Maoris& And many who do not prefer this extreme and irrational demand, dwell on the cunning of the native character, and blame any reliance on attempts to attach the ifsories to us by good government. Very much allowance should be made for the natural impa tience of persona in the situation of the colonists, but SirGsozog Guilt will doubtless hold the balance as firmly as he has hitherto done. What. ever may be said by those who are under the in fluence of local excitement, the Governor's policy has so far been attended with much success. The number of natives friendly to us is very much larger than it was two years ago, and the war party among them is proportionately weakened. It was generally believed at Taranaki that Sir GEOROZ GREY would do aa much as possible to oirmusiscribe the war,and would especially avoid any step calculated to throw into the arms of the dia. affected party those tribes which were disposed to remain peaceable. Thus, although military opera tions will be necessary, there is stall room to hope that a general native war may be avoided. To wage an undiacriminating war, as some advise, would undoubtedly fuse the whole population into one united mass in opposition to our rule, in creasing our difficulties without advantage to any body. It is said that the Governor's intention is to summon the Taranaki' to surrender the perpetrators of the recent outrage, and in came of refusal to proceed vigorously against them, publicly warning all other natives to keep clear of the quarrel. This would be a wise and just course. The Qt:ers's authority would thus be upheld in Taranaki, and the natives throughout the north island would be impressed with the determination of the Government to maintain law and order. One of the acts of the Governor since the slaughter of our countrymen has been severely criticised in the colony. A week after that event Sir G. GREY issued a proclamation by which the Government renounced its claim to the tract of land at Waiters known as Teira's Block, which was the occasion, if not the cause, of the last war. We, who have always maintained that the purchase of that block by a former government from vendors whose pretensions to it were at variance with well known native rights, shall be expected to approve of the Governor's latest act. We should have liked it better if it had been performed earlier. Even now, however, we commend it, believing that justice is never out of season. Many colo nists also, far from blaming Sir Gioaos GRIT for taking this step, believe that it will prove to be a measure of good policy by contenting a numerous portion of the natives, and separating their inte rests from the interests of those whom the Governor is about to sell to account. If we can punish the Taranaki', for the massacre of our soldiers, our power will be respected notwithstanding this con cession ; if we cannot, we shall not be feared any the more for holding a piece of land by a doubtful title. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1863. LATEST INTELLIG! AMERICA. THE GREAT BATTLES AT GETTYIIBITEG. In the above gigantic struggle the entire force of General Lee and the entire Federal army of the Poto mac seem to have been engaged. The battle, which opened with two corps on the Ist, lasted till late in the afternoon ; it was reopened late on the fol lowing afternoon, and continued until dark, and commenced again on the 3rd at early daylight. The accounts from the battle-field published by the New York papers, coming by telegram, are brief and hastily written. Describing the action on the 2nd, the corre spondent of the New York Times says : At about 4ji o'clock p.m. the enemy sent his first com pliments by a salvo of artillery, his first shells falling un serefortably near General Meade's head-quarters. From this boar forth to 81 o'clock, occurred by all odds the most sanguinary engagement yet chronicled in the annals of the war, coraidering its short duration. The artillery attack which was made by the enemy on the left and centre was rapidly fol lowed by the advance ci his infantry. Thethird corps received the attack with great coolness. The rebels at once made for our flank, and kept moving heavy columns in that di rection. This necessitated support, which was quickly given by the fifth corps, the division of General Barnes being sent to the right, and that of General Ayres (regulars) to the left, with General Crawford in reserve. The battle cow became perfectly fearful. The armies engaged each other at very short range, and for three long hours the war of musketry was incessant. I have heard more noise, louder crashes, in other battles, but I never saw or heard of such desperate tenacious fighting as took place on this flank. The enemy would often bring up suddenly • heavy column of men, and force our line back, only to be in turn forced back by our own line of glittering steel. Our pliant columns covered themselves with glory over and over spin. They fought • superior force in numbers. The dispositions of the enemy were vary rapid, for look where you would on that field • body of rebels would be advancing. Our dispositions were equally rapid, and the enemy found more tam their equal in such gallant veterans es Sickles and Birney and Hum phreys. At half-past 6 General Sickles was struck in the right log by • pieoe of shell, and borne from the field. The injury was so great that amputation became necessary, and it Ins performed successfully—the limb being taken off below the knee. The struggle grew hotter and hotter. The second corps was called on for aid, and though its own position was strongly threatened, yet the first division, formerly General Hancock* firing themselves into the fight with desperation, and after • long and obstinate conflict the enemy slowly and sullenly gave way. The rebels made frequent attempts to capture our artillery, and et one time had Watson's bat tery in their pourrion, but it was retaken in • furious charge by Birney's division. The battle lasted till fully half pest 8 o'clock, when the enemy fell back to his old position, and left our veterans the mangnined victors of that field. Our pickets were thrown out, and our lines covered mast of the field, including • great number of the enemy's dead and wounded. I visited some portions of the line by moonlight, and can bear personal Mom to the terrible ferocity of the battle. In front of some of our brigades, who had good protection from stone walls or fences, the rebel dead laid piled in lines like winrows of hay. In front of Gen. Webb's—the Philo delphis—bripds, they lay so thick as literally to cover the ground. Not far from here was found the body of Geo. Berkadale, that once haughty and violent rebel, who craved u • dying boon • cup of water and • stretcher from en am bulanoe boy. He is literally cut to pima with wounds, and must die. A great and magnificent feature of this fight is the splendid au of artillery. Though our line of battle was only a mils and a half long, yet almost every battery belonging to the army of the Potomac was more or less engaged. Every sae of she reserve batteries was brought into action, the pod- , dons for use being numerous. The enemy also used artil lery largely, but not to near so great an extent as we did. From this they suffered immensely, and specially on the left, where canister was largely used. I believe we lost no artillery, unless it was two or three disabled pieces, though it was very wonderful we did not considering bow the enemy's forces were piled on to them. Some of their skir mishers were literally blown sway from the muzzle of our guns. Our losses at this hoar cannot be computed, but for two days' fighting they are very heavy. We mourn the loss of many valuable officers, but they have been amply avenged in the hecatombs of rebel dead who lie piled along the lines. Between 10 o'clock and midnight a consultation was called by General Meade of all corps commanders, and after deli beration it was unanimously decided to maintain our present positions at all bawds, and fight as long as there was • man left. The death of Lieut.-General Longstreet is reported by prisoners taken from his corps. I know of no other autho rity for it. Of the third day's battle, we have only reports sent off by "fits and snatches." A special despatch dated Hanover (Pennsylva nia), 1 p.m., via Washington, July 3, says :—" At 10 this morning our forces opened on about 5,000 rebels, who advanced on the field at daybreak, for the purpose of pillaging our dead. The rebels hastily retreated. The fight thus far has been the matt terrific of the war. The loss on both sides was heavy." Another telegram from the same place and Of the same date says :—" Early this morning the battle was renewed with increased vigour, and throughout this day has proved the moat fearful of all the war. The lessee on both sides are very heavy. Among the casualties is General Barlow, severely wounded. We captured more prisoners than the rebels. Our officers are very enthusiastic in praise of the heroic conduct of our men. They never stood so like veterans before. The enemy's entire force was engaged, and all our forces except General Conch's. " LATER. —To-night a messenger came from the battle-field, stating that up to 6 o'clock we had driven the enemy about three-quarters of a mile , north-west. All our men are confident of ultimate success. It is probable the battle will be renewed early to-morrow." The New York Tames of the 4th observes : mam% mamma.) ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN PRUSSIAN TROOPS AND INSURGENTS. POSKIt Jinx it The Posener Zeifttig of to-day says :—" Atioord ing to a telegram received here an engagement between Prussian troops and insurgents took place on the loth inst. near Miloslaw. The latter, to the number of 300, were assembled in the forest. On the approach of the Prussian troops, firing com menced on both sides.

Pantos ALFRED IN SIINTLAND.—On the eveningof the Bth inst. her Majesty's steam corvette RaCOOO, under the command of Count Oleichen (captain), and having on board his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, anchored off Lerwick, midway between the town and the island of Sway. The 9th wee spent by his royal highness, Count Gleichen, and Major Cowell in selecting a few good specimens of the Shetland pony. The prince purchased two fine black ones. The ponies, six in number, were all shipped by 11 a.m. His royal highness and party then made several purchases of native manufactures in the shops, and visited the old Pictish rain in the Loch of Clickamin. In the even ing the Prince, Count Gleichen, Major Cowell, and party enjoyed themselves pittock fishing along the Brawny @bon. At 9.15 p.m.. on the 10th, all bands were piped up to weigh anchor, his Royal Highness Prince Alfred taking his post on the bow to superintend operations forward in as motor. like a manner as any officer in her Majesty's service could, every shackle as it hove m sight being duly reported and a constant eye kept—not upon the many boats that thronged around the vessel, but upon the men engaged in the work. By 9.30 all was clear and " full steam' soon made the EACOOO'O head swing into mid channel and proceed to the southward. The herring fleet of Dutch loggers being in the harbour their crews, seemingly with one voice, saluted his royal highness as he left with three cheers, which was duly returned. As the Racoon passed the institute lately erected by the liberality of Mr. A. Anderson, chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, all the scholar' were mustered to take up the cheering which was ag ain renewed as the corvette passed the Nale by several hundreds of the Lerwegians. The Racoon proceeded to StrOWOOSS, to remain a few hours, thence to proceed to Stornoway, St. Hilda, he., reaching Portsmouth by the end of the month. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE --.. The International contest between eight of the but pitied shots on each side to represent England and ttn t d, for the Echo shield, commenced yesterday. This was instituted Let yen by the joint exertious of Lord Bury and Captain Horatio Rose, for the purpose of testing the respective merits of the selected number of each country in the art of rifle shooting. On that occasion Eng land was represented by Lord Bury, Civil Service ; Captain Heaton, 3rd Manchester; Mr. Martin Smith, Victoria Riles ; Major Halford, Ist Leicester ; Earl Dune, Resign Halliday, Civil Service ; Private Beasley, Ist Warwick ; and Sergeant Row% Ist Devon. Scotland wee represented by Captain Horatio Roes, 6th Kincardine; Mr. Feiguica, let Inverness;: Mr. Henderson, Blairgovrrie ; Mr. Muir, Ga loway ; Mr. Moir, Stirling ; G. Peterkin, Cambridge The Master of Lovat, Inverness; and Mr. Edward Roes, CM bridge University. As will be seen by the lit given pater de:. than names have on each' side been subject to alter• Ulan, as it was the desire that both countries should be represented by some of the best men that could be found. On that occasion the victory fell to England, she making • grow total of 890 marks, while Scotland made but • gram total of 721 marks. This defeat, large as it was, sspa• dared no at the time, but there was a steady determination expressed if possible on the put of Scotland to slier the result next year, er in the words of Lord Echo, he proposed "Three cheers for the licking that England should receive at the next meeting." To accomplish this object trial meetings were held in the first instance at Edinburgh, when four of these who had made the highest scores were selected, which em braced Mr. Henry, the inventor of the rifle that bean his name, who is • Got-rate shot, but he afterwards retired in favour of Lord Elolio. The sexed trial meeting was after- wards held at Gravesend, when Mr. Edward Roes, Mr. Hercules Ross, Mr. Colin Rosa, and the Master of Linn were selected to make up the other four. Therefore, from the preparations which have been made it is evident that • great effort was expected. The different competitors were requested to parade yesterday morning at half-put nine o'clock in front of Captain Mildmay's test, and soon afterwards the shooting commenced at 800 yards.

This morning Captain Scott, the petitioner, wee suVectel to a croes-exaniination of some length bi the Queens Ad vocate, who appeared. with Dr. Spinks, for the respondent. He mid—ln Mho I threatened to break off all intercourse with Mrs. Morris, my wife's mother, because I regarded her as the cause of all my unhappiness, sad became I found that my child WU being brought up to hate and dislike his father. I had Major Greenwood and Lord Forth with me at %mo tion, but Mrs. Scott was not there with Lord Forth ; I would not lave permitted it. Ido not know that Major Green. wood was a person with whom no lady ought to have associated. Major Greenwood was a gentleman—when he was not drunk. (Laughter.) The Judge—And how often was that? Witnees—l never saw him drunk at my table when Mrs. Scott was there. I may have called him " • nasty, dirty beset" any man is a" dirty beast" that gets drunk. He would also come to table In a dirty shirt. I may have said that I only endured him on account of the money be paid me. No doubt his payments were very convenient to me. My wife never complained of what she suffered from the company _of Major Greenwood. When I said that my wife dressed in ao outrageous way, I meant that she dressed in the height and extreme of fashion. Ladies do not dress in that way when they walk out with their husbands. It was on that account that I thought people, would take me for a man. about-town urd her for my misname. I told Mr. Church and Mr. Hunt that my wife was a woman lost to all society, and consequently cared little for exposure in this c ored I do not recollect saying that " she was an abandoned woman and that no one would visit her." I have given you the substance of what I said, so far as I recollect it. Mr. Church said, " Yon must be a pretty fellow to make an observation like that of your wife when you are seeking her restitution—go into court and repeat that and your ease is damned." We then both laughed. Re-examined by Mr. Kerslake, Q.C. (with him Mr. Shawl —My wife's dress was not the sort cif dress in which I saw other ladies walk in the park. My wife did not wish to leave Stroutian oo account of Major Greenwood being there. The observation I made to Mr. Church about my wife had reference to the charges against me which she had put in her mower, and which she knew to be wholly groundless. I did not refer to her previous conduct whi le she was living with me. Colossi! Jenkins —I am staff officer of the pensioners at Chatham. I was the captain-commandant of a depot at the time Captain Scott was married. With the exception of a slight quarrel that occurred in consequence of Mrs. Morrie, I was on teems of intimacy with the petitioner and his wife while they were at Brompton. Captain Scott's conduct to ree=t was kind and all that a gentleman should be. Simmons, of the 41st Regiment, C. 8.—1 was in = 1847 when Captain and Mrs. Scott came there. I that they had very good lodgings. Mrs. Scott mode no complaints. Had mu them since at intervals down to 1861. Dario' the whole time I sow them toga. then the conduct of Captain Scott was that which we usually see from a gentleman to his wife. Crosseixamined—hare. Scott was very fashionably dressed. That was the only thing that seemed to outrage her hus ked's feelings. I think be once spoke to me about her ax- OMB of dram and said it made her quite remarkable. Mr. George Harrison, of 65, Grosvecorstrest, F. r.s.—l have known Captain Scott since 1841. I visited his family as a friend and pridessicerally down to 1858. Captain Scott's conduct wax uniformly kind—particularly so. Mn. Catherine Whitt—l am the wife of a rector in Suffolk, and brother to the petitioner. I visited the parties in the Hebrides, and I think stayed with them about three mouths. Captain Scott's conduct to his child was good, very good ; but at times be had words with his wife. Crossexamined—l certainly have taken Mrs. Scott's and I have been very sorry that her husband should speak against her mother. Being the daughter of a widowed mother, I felt for her. Hie language might have been what I mad violent ; but I have myself been used to gentle baggage. I never beard him swear in my life. I may have °pedaled with Mrs. Scott on his violence ; but I gene. rally referred to his conduct with respect to her mother. I have no recollection whatever of ever saying to her, " Would you not rather see that dear child in his co ffi n thee that he should grow up such a wretch as his poor father r Charlotte Palmer—l was lady's maid to Mrs. Scott from 1845 to 1856. I was at Stornaway and came into the room after the child was flogged. It was my duty to wash and dream him ; and I found no marks upon him. The stick was • little switch. 1 never heard my master swear at my mis tress. Croes-examined—l took the stick out of Captain Scott's hand ; but I cannot say why I did it. I did not snatch it away. I raid, " Please to give me the stick." By the Judge—When 1 went into the room the child was lying quiet in - his mother's arms. I had beard him scream ing about half an hour before. He was not sobbing. I re turned to my work immediately afterwards. Delilah Morgan, who was nursemaid in Captain Scott's family while they were living at Weymouth, and Sarah Wheeler, a perlour maid, also in their service for thirteen months, also declared that the petitioner behaved well to his wife. Capt•in Edward Francis Boultb7-1 am a captain in the West York Militia, which the petitioner joined after he left the army. I was with him at Sheridan, and I never heard him me violent or abusive language to his wile. Crom-examined—l was there with Major Greenwood. Hit conduct was at times objectionable, but I don't think his habits were of a filthy and disgusting character. He occasionally drank too much. I should not have thought him fit society for my own wife. I cannot recol lect that I said he was unfit company for Mrs. Scott ; but very likely I did. I do not know that I ever spoke to Captain Scott on the subject. I don't remember saying to Mrs. Scott " We must get you away." I always understood that she was to leave Stroutian at Ohridmas. Ile-examined—l only objected to Major Greenwood be cause be drank, which used to make him very talkative and unpleasant. The evidence of the late Hannah Young, a housemaid of the partite, was read. It was to the same purport as that of the other servants. Dr. Woodhouse, of Reading (one of the trustees of the marriage settlement)—At the beginning of 1%2, Captain Scott spoke to me on the subject of kis wife's beteg away from him. At his suggestion I went up to town and saw Mrs. Scott at the Great Western Hotel, where she was staying with her mother. There were present Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Morris. Colonel James, Captain Scott, Mrs. White, and myself. A long dismission ensued. A charge was made to the effect that Captain Scott had presented a pistol at his wife in 1853. Captain Scott said that at that time he bad DO pistols Mrs. Boob, on being pressed, then said it might have bees something else. The result of the discussion was that Cap tain Scott should go back to Bath, and take rooms in a boardinghouse for himself and wife. Had bad several opportunities of seeing them at different periods, and Captain Scott's conduct was always kind. ined—Captain Scott admitted that he might ha.. pretended to shoot his wife with a raxor-strop or a clothes brush. The Rev. Mr. White—l cannot say whether at the inter view I asked Mrs. Scott to forgive her husband. I tried to induce her to go back to him. A locksmith, named Plankley, who bed been employed in removing a bolt, described the conduct of the respondent as very violent, and said that that of the petitioner was kinder than he should have thought a gentleman could have been under the circumstances. (Laughter.) This was the petitioner's came in reply, and the learned ennead were addressing the jury when we wont to prem. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Yr. Comeliest/mei Fans.)

(war ocTa cowl oinszerososirr.) PARIS. THOSISDAT EVENING. It is reported this evening that the emperor, sacrificing the uninterrupted quiet and hygienic treatment which he is wont to seek at Vichy, means to run up to Paris, to preside at a ministerial council which will be held at St. Cloud on Satur day to consider the Russian answer, expected by that time. A further rumour is that, before re turning to Vichy, he will pay a visit to the Chalons camp. It must be confessed that the aspect of this unexpected news is somewhat warlike. The Bourse, however, remains steady. The new Archbishop of Paris, Mgr. Darboy, is said to be in such a had state of health as to neoes sitate the appointment of a "coadjutor" for his diocese. The vicar-general, Abbig Buquet, is spoken of for this highly-important post. According to precedent and usage, a coadjutor practically supersedes the titulary of the see. In the case of Madame de Civry v. the Duke of Brunswick, the Court of the First Instance has given judgment against the duke upon the prelimi nary point which alone was before it. His demur rer is over-ruled, with meta. What the court now decides is that Madame de Civry, as the wife of a Frenchman, has a right of suit before the French tribunals, and that the Duke of Brunswick's former royalty is no bar to the action. The merits of the case are reserved for a further hearing. The Empress, on hearing yesterday of the death of the Duke of Hamilton, came at once to Paris, and induced the duchess, Lady Mary, and Lord Charles to accompany her back to St. Cloud at half-past 2. The new duke remains in Paris. The body is to be transported to the family vault at Hamilton Palace. The Moniteur publishes the following note : - • Some journals have, during the last few day', in enter. tabling the project of a maritime canal between Paris and Dieppe, for which a private company is making the surveys, spoken in terms which would lead to the belief that this vast undertaking had already been admitted in principle by the French government. Such is not the fact. AU that is true is that the company has asked authorisation to make, at its own expense, risk, and peril, the survey for the canal in question ; the authorisation asked for has been granted, but without implying in any manner on the part of the government an opinion in favour of the undertaking. - - WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) nwAr.
