I is so It is no exaggeration to say that since the death of WILLINOTON there was no officer who had achieved a higher reputation than Lord CLYDE— there was no officer to whose opinion the public were more disposed to listen, or whom advice they would more willingly have followed. He had spent his whole life in the army. He entered it a boy of fifteen—he died a Field Mar shal at the age of seventy. He had neither friends nor money. His service was incessant ; nor is there any quarter of the globe to which COLIN CAIIPBMI. hesitated to follow his regiment. "For eighteen " years and a half I was in all those climates " (China and the Indies), and shot frequently ;" so that it is impossible to have a man more capable of forming an opinion as to the military system of this country. Now what does he say T Is he satisfied with that system I Does he consider it defective? If he does, has he any plan by which its defects may be remedied 1 Fortunately, Lord CrxDs's opinions on these subjects are recorded. They were de livered before a Committee of the House of Com mons in 1856 ; and although that Committee made a report which has it may be interesting to recall the opinions delivered by him upon that occasion. " I think," said the Sir COLIN CAMPBUL of that day, " that the Purchase System ought to be " done away with : I must come back to that." And why I because he said it was injurious to the service, by damping the ardour of a large propor tion of the best officers. Again he said : " I do " not like the system of purchase; from what I have " seen of its effect in driving deserving men out of " the service my feeling is against it." The two instances by which he illustrates his opinion are sufficiently striking. After explaining that he had purchased at very great pecuniary inconvenience, to avoid being passed over, he added :—" The officer " next below me was a man whom I would bow to " as possessing every quality that a man ought to " possess—possessing abilities as high as any man I "have ever known. He could not purchase. It " was in 1825 that I bought my majority, and in " 1847 I passed through Cawnpore and found him " just promoted to be • major in that regiment, " having in the meantime been to Australia. " Finally he left the service. He remained in the " service till he got his majority ; he did sell out ; " he bad some little income to maintain himself ; " but all hope was gone, and all that interest which " it is so necessary for a man to take in his profes " sion." The otherness is more touching. There was an officer io the 55th Regiment. This officer had been promoted for service in the field, and he had obtained his brevet majority. He led the assault at Ching Kiang-foo ; and though he became brevet lieutenant-colonel, and was in command of the 55th Regiment in the field, in the pretence of nemy, • young captain who had just come out purchased over his head, took the command of the regiment, and he was obliged to descend to the command of a company.

ARCHITECTURAL IMPROVEMIINTS IN CAMBIUM], tisivenarrc.—At Cambridge, during this long realism, several architectural improvementa and alterstrins are in progress, which will greatly change the extern a l appear ance of the University. The moat important of these is the extension of St. John's College, the site of which has been enlarged by the appropriation, under a private act of parliament, of St John's-lane and the whole of the western side of St. Joho's•street. A new chapel and master's lodge haws been already commenced, from the designs of Mr. G. G. Scott. The chapel will bear a close resemblance to that of Exeter College, Oxford, which was designed by the same gerjeman- It will, however, be of far greater dimensions. The present chapel will be pulled down, and its site thrown into the ;leaf court, while a con siderable enlargement of the hall will be effected by hiking in the coiebination-room, the fine pliers in the protect master's lodge being designed as the apartment wherein the fellows shall, for the future, lip their poet-prandial wine. The entrance to the new lodge will be from Bride-street I. pulling down a number of old buildings during the pro gress of the works, an interesting discovery was made of a baedenine piscine, which, no doubt, formed part of the Hospital of St. John, the ancient foundation upon which the esent college was engraft e d , i n th e reign of King Henry the Eighth. A want which has been long felt in the Uni versity will be supplied by the new lecture-rooms now is course of erection in the Old Botanic Garden. Mr. A. Solvin is the architect. At Pembroke College improve ments of • minor character are is progress ; they consist principelly of restoring the stone work of the ancient windows. The lompcontemplated alterations in Great St. Mary's Church are now rapidly progressing. The gallery f r the heeds sad professors. known am " Golgotha," has been entirely removed, and the chancel will be fitted up with stalls of au elaborate character, designed by Mr. Scott. It ia expected that the church will be re-opened for I Divine awake at Christmas. The new church of All Sainte is being erected on a site opposite the entrance to Jesus College. It is to be regretted that, owing to the inadequacy of the fonds, Mr. Bodley, the architect, has been compelled to modify his plans very coesiderably, and the erection of the spire, a conspicuous feature is the deice, is indefinitely postponed. The old chart& of All Sainte will, on the completion of the new one. he takes doers, sal consequently the street opposite St. John's and Trinity Colleges will be considerably widened aid improved. It Is rumoured that the authorities of St. John's College are anxious that the monument of Kirke White should be removed to their new chapel ; hut the parishioners of All Sainte are opposed to the project.—Ataencrute.

May 19, 1863," says that the bishop and all the misuse party, except himself, had landed safely with two. thirds of their stores. He was to follow that day with the remainder. All the party were well and in good spirits. The bishop in his letter speaks of the great kiednees which had bees shown to the mission party by all the authimitics. The Governor at the Cape, Sir P. Wode house, had been most kind and hospitable ; so had the ad miral, Sir B. Walker. " Captain Gsrdner," says the bishop ' in one of his letters, dated May 1, " has, is the most dis ' interested manner, put his own cabin at our disposal. l feel that the minion is placed under very serious obligations to u well on account of our inroad on his private apart• merit u for his conasst and .ending forethought for our present and future comfort. The officers are, without ' exception, like the captain, all that one could wish ; and we • shall fret the parting from such real friends very acutely." The bishop had heard the bad news from Chibises. Is ' another letter, dated May 25, the bishop says :—" So far am I can speak of plans, I mean to go up to Mauro, near Chu pumas, sad then press on to Chibima and see with my own eyes the date of affairs. It is a comfort to think we shall have Dr. Livingstone to consult, and I shall be largely guided by his advice.

The buildings are situated in Commercial , duet, Whitechapel, and comprise a double range of erec tion, giving accommodatiou to 30 families, each having a suite of two or three rooms, a separate entrance, and alto gether complete in itself. The main fedora that each of these places offer are • living room 12 by 14, a scullery and waterclueet, sinks, pantries, coal-cellar., and every domestic requirement, together with two bad-rooms. In the living room is • range combining all the most recant improvements for comfort and economy.

The funeral took place this morning. The cortege formed at the residence of the noble lord in Berkeley-square shortly after 11 o'clock, but long before that hour a considerable crowd bad gathered in the neighbourhood. In accordance with the wish of the deceased—which, it is said, did note altogether coincide with the desire of her Majesty —the ceremony was marked with as little display as possible ; still the number of friends of the late peer who were anxious to pay a tribute of respect to his memory, and the general feeling of the loss which the country has sustained by his death, lengthened the procession with pri- 1 vats carriages, and drew large numbers of spectators together along the whole line of route. The funeral cortege consisted of a hearse, followed by fourteen mourning coaches, two royal carrines, drawn by six horses, repro smiting the Queen and the Prince of Wales, and' the carriages of the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge. The mourning coaches were ocoopied as follows :—L General Eyre, Colonel Prlllurdo, Lieutenant Allison, the Duke of Wellington. 2.! Rev. Mr. luglis, Mr. Coningbam, M.P., Mr. J. H.

Mr. Carpenter, Dr. Dick, Colonel Taylor, Mr. Arbuthuott, and Colonel Gordon. The mourners entered the Abbey by the west cloister door, and a procession was immediately formed, hea ded by the choristers singing the Anthem, and the Earl of Ellenborough following the coffin. The procession moved slowly down the western aisle, and, passing through the nave, entered the choir, where the service was read by the Rev. Canon Neyean and the Rev. Canon Jennings, the choristers chanting impressively the Burial Service, the com posers of which—Croft, Purcell, and Handel—all rest in the cathedral. The choir was composed as fol lows :—Altos—Messra. Barnby, Dawson, Baxter, Coward, Foster, and Francis. Tenors—Messrs. Montem Smith, Cemmings, Carter, and Edmonds. Basses—Messrs. Machin Lawler, Thomas, Distin, and Whitehouse. The Choir was under the d'-ec tion of Mr. Turfs, the organist of the cathedral. The procession having reformed at the conclusion of that portiou of the service which takes place within the chapel, proceeded to the spot chosen for the interment, situated in the nave facing the choir, and separated only about a coffin's breadth from the grave of the late Sir James Outrein. The coffin was then lowered to its place, the Rev. Lord J. Thynne, the sub-dean, reading that portion of the burial service which is pronounced over the grave. A limited number of tickets of admission to the Abbey had been issued, and some time before the arrival of the cortege about 500 persons had assem bled, including a number of non-commissioned officers of the Coldstream Guards—of which Lord Clyde was colonel—the Soots Fusilier Guards, and the 93rd and 78th Highlanders. THE REPLIES OF THE THREE POWERS TO RUSSIA. PARIS, Auouerr 22. The Courier de Dirsanche of today believes itself able to guarantee that the notes of the three powers contain an identical conclusion in the fol lowing terms : " One imperious duty now remains to be fulfilled by the government. This is to call the most seri ous attention of Prince Gortchakoff to the gravity of the situation and the responsibility it imposes upon Russia. " Austria, Prance, and England have pointed out the urgency of putting an end to a deplorable condition of affairs, filled with peril to Europe.

(78011 Mil OWE COI PARIS, FRIDAY Evzsura. The attention of the French nitramontane party is just now directed to the doings of the famous catholic congress at Malin s. The readers of the Monde and the Union are especially interested in the point now under discussion, of the establish ment in free Belgium of an international paper which shall be the champion of catholicity—"a catholic Indipenclanee "—as the president of the section of the day phrased it. The proposal to found such a journal meets with some opposition among some of the local catholic clergy of Belgium who attend the congress, upon the ground that the centralisation of the catholic press will tend to weaken the influence of local journalism. A curd, named Verbist, in particular, held this language, taking occasion to sing the praises of his own parochial paper, "perfectly catholic," he said, "edited in a popular style, and so influential that we (the clergy) carry everything before us at the elections." Another member, bearing a name dear to ultra montanism and to Rome, the Count Werner de Mdrode, was opposed to the creation of such a journal, on the ground that it would not be admitted into France unless its fangs were so drawn as to reader it perfectly innocuous—in other words, unless by the abstraction of all that high catholic reasoning, which would, in point of fact, constitute its sole value, it was made an absolutely tedious and soporific affair. M. Werner de Mdrode advocated the blending of po litics with religion, and thought it a part of the duty of a good priest to recommend the frequert perusal as well of the catholic newspaper as of the breviary. He loudly exclaimed against those pious old maids and devotees in general who refuse to subscribe to newspapers of orthodox political ten dencies. Prince Czartoryaki thought the count's objection as regarded the entry of the proposed journal into France might easily be over ruled. He believed it quite possible to advocate doctrines of the purest Romanism, if the direction of the organ in question were careful to adopt a key and tune which should not grate upon the ears of the French government. But the prize sentiment of the meeting is admitted to be one of English origin. Its eccentricity is accounted for on the score of its nationality. It is that the best mode of inculcating catholicism is to say as little as possible about it. " Don't bother the workman," says this speaker, "with catholic truths if you want him to take kindly to them." The Temps observes on the subject of this catholic congress that it seems far from being "animated with the vitality of growth and hope, but, on the contrary, is marked by a general tone of decrepi tude, mustiness, and discouragement." . . . It seems more than ever probable that the Arch duke Maximilian will, in the end, decline the throne of Mexico. In the first place, the Emperor of Austria is understood to have declined any re sponsibility whatever in the matter. If the Em ' peror of the French chooses to guarantee the throne, well and good. But will he ? Can he 1 And, if he should and could, how will Austrian pride stomach the gift of a crown at the hands that so lately reft from Austria one of her fairest provinces 1 Certain short-sighted politicians hem maintain that England will be ready to aid, in guaranteeing Mexico to the house of Hapsburg, in order to secure an ally in the event of a war with the Northern states of America : so loosely do meu theorise in this country under a regime which lives by propagating its own "ideas" on the sub jest of "nationalities" and a reconstructed map of Europe. The ultra-clerimil Italian paper, the Armonia, relates a new miracle touching an image of the Virgin at Vicovaro, between Tivoli and &Nam The statue in question (whether it is of marble or of wood we are not told) has winked its eyes, not at one or two, but at many persons, who are ready to attest the fact. Of course there follows the old story of processions, and a report on the subject to be made by a commission named by the bishop. Meantime the credulous people of this mountain region throng to the place, and subscribe their hardly-gained earnings to the collection of Peter's Pence. The general public refusing to follow the lead of the bankers who have been buyiug, it has been fouud impossible to make head against the "bears" of our Bourse. The result is a fall iu Route of 36c., both for cash and account, the closing price being 67fr. 600. and 67fr. b&. respectively.

Credit Mobilier fell 26fr. 25c. for cash, and 25fr. for the account, leaving off at 1,103 fr. 75c. and 1,102fr.50c. respectively. Italian (new) fell 25c. It is not supposed that political alarms have anything to do with this fall ; indeed there is abso lutely nothing whatever stirring in the matter of political news. 22, 1863. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS AT MALINES. At the meeting of the Congress, an Wednesday, an inte resting discossioo took place onthefollowingproprritionof the committee :—" That as it is incontestably proved by medical observation that suicide* are promoted by imitation ; that as the publicity given to the occtu Lance of suicides may Goose. queotly exercise a disastrous influence the responsib" . ty which cannot be 'assisted by the Christian conscience ; the Cower hopes that catholic journals will refrain from publishing suicides, unless they should have an historical importance which would neesmitate their being made known." M. de Bans, rector of the University of Louvaio, proposed to add to the proposi , tioa of the committee that "mimes, disasters, and accidents" should be suppremed. This proponal was opposed by H. Dipird, who said that • catholic journal ought to be like any other journal, but under a more moral editorship, and exercising • stricter sripervision. A jolll Jv' was an organ of publicity, and • joirmal.st shotod be bound to per over in silence inch which were the talk of au entire town. There were eons and daughters of Eve who only looked for crime., disasters, and accidents. People enjoyed them, and looked to that part of the jooroal when they were to be found. A paper most be re. rapidly by people who were busily employed. In con sequence of these observations, H. de Ram 'Adm. his proposition and the resolution of the oommittee with regard to the publication of suicides was adopted by a large majority. The presence of Prince A. de Broglie and H. de Montalembert was hailed by the most enthusiastic applause, while the names of Garibaldi and his chaplain, Pantsleo, which were referred to by K. Nardi, auditor of the Rota, in Rome, were received with hisses. At the evening sitting AL de Montelembert addressed the congress on the subject of " A Free Church 'a a Free Stets." He complimented Belgium on her constitution, which was the best and least imperfect of any in oxidises. Though showing great veneration for the church, and love of religion, the speech was an exhortation to catholica to push forward on the track of liberty. Except in Belgium the catholic, of thine days had not taken tidy/atone of the great revolution which has founded modern society. They regretted the ancient regime, but the ancient regime whatever ire grandeur, had one capital defect—it was dead and would never be restored to life. The democracy existed in the half of Europe, and would to-morrow erist in the other half. They must not fall down before he sovereignty of the people any more than before the right eh ;as, but they could not help recognising the forces which were moving society. He was not a democrat, and still leas en absolutist, bat as a politician and an historian he consulted the past, he contemplated the present, he interrogated the future, and everywhere he saw the democracy—the deluge rising. As a man he should be tei rifled at this, but as • Christian he felt no fear, because with the deluge he saw the ark. Therefore he boldly laid down th's amnia—catholic, had nothing to regret in the ancient —nothing to fear from the new regime. Catholics must frankly accept liberty—entire liberty— not merely political but religious liberty. They mr st temper the democracy by liberty and reconcile catholicity with democracy. They most absolutely renounce r" kinds of privileges in favour of catholicity and resist every backward tendency which irritated modern society. There was no other rat left in these days for a theocracy. In the in terest of spiritual freedom let them boldly proclaim indepen dence of the civil power, as the Belgian bishops had often done. Count F. de Carcil then spoke on the subject of the harmony of nations, and the pmaistence of nationalities. The 4th section of the Congress, to which was assigns 1 the consideration of the question of Christian Art, decided in favour of the liberty of art, and in opposition to 01 icons. ;lam. A FRENCH WATERING PLACE. A correspondent of the Cambridge Independent Press, writing from Dieppe on Wednesday lut, after re marking that " lodgings there are to the English in the fashionable time just doable the price which is asked for oorreepooding accommodation at Hastings or Scarborough," and that "Eli. a month is considered cheap for two rooms, op a wearisome flight of stairs," gives a graphic and viva cious account of the manner in which the French visitors pass their time. He says :.—" A peculiarity which the average English gentleman will regret in Dieppe, is the artificiality which the Parisians, who mainly compote the body of visitors hare, all seem to beteg with them into their holidays by the sea. French ladies come with their most expensive dresses, and French gentlemen with their loung ing caN life and cigars. I have said that the sea before Dieppe is magnificent, but I scarcely ever meet on it • Frenchman. I have my pick of the sailing boat; There are very few of them ; sad almost the only persons who hire them are Englishmen. Round Dieppe are green lute in the deepest shade, between high grass and flower-covered banks, end musical with the song of birds— but we rarely meet the Perigees there. The forest of Amines, with nooks, and paths, and roads, that to us were positively enchanting, is but a short distance off, yet the visitors who go there rarely exceed twenty or thirty • day. Could anyone living in • city desire • more exquisite retreat than the grounds around the Chateau of Eu? Yet when I have been there, I have not seen a doses people in the place. My first impression was that the hotel book; and lodging-house keepers, and local journals had all misled me, and that Dieppe was deserted. Where were the people' I must look into this mystery. Accordingly I ventured an inquiry. Has Monsieur; said the French lady, to whom I put the question at a table d'hote, ' has Monsieur been to the Arobliassementf I answered that I had not. I liked to me as mull of dear Nature as I could. 'Ah !' she said. with • smile, ' I thought you had not been to the Ela&lessetneul. G o there this even ing and the secret will be out.' I went. I became a sub scriber, and in two or three seconds I saw what the visitors did with themselves. The letablisseweerat is a little toy Crystal Palace, with • large reading-rtora, a theatre, • hall-room. and • concert-room, and • large restaurant. It is close to the sea, at the extreme end of the Plage. and some hundreds of chairs stead about on the terrace in front, on which you can sit, and at high water almost touch the white crest of the waves. This plane is filled from noon to night. Every Parisian lady dresses herself for it after • late breakfast, and walks straight to it from her hotel. Here she glides leisurely round the garden, showing her tasteful robe to the best advantage, or she reads • little—(a very little) —or chat ten with her companions round the tables on the terrace. At 2 o'clock she has a substantial lunch ; sod at half-past 5 the company all swarm to their respective hotels to dinner. At 8 o'clock they return—this time in fresh dresses —and stay until 11 or 12. Of course there is a list of amuse 'manta, following closely upon one soother. This afternoon there is • children's ball—one of the prettiest sights, by the way, in • civilised society ; another , there is a ball for adult ; two evenings a week French comedy is played by a competent treepe of actors ; and concerts are constantly going on. This is the French holiday at the seaside— music, dress, and comedy. The sea is only an accident, to be looked at as • curious monster ; and the country is to be studied in the pages of MM. Michelat and Lamartioe." A series of correspondence between the govern• meats of Great Britain and the United States, touching the restrictions on the trade between the Northern ports of the United States and the Bahamas, wu leaned yesterday. Notwithstanding the large increase of our forces in New Zealand (remarks the Army and Nary Gazdte), we believe it is not likely that any addition will be made to the general staff during the present operations. The regi• meets going on there from India and Ceon—the 43rd, 50th, and 58th—will of course take the ir own medical officers with them ; but it is not impebable that, in addi tion to this, some increase of the dell may be found necessary before long. The pension fur distinguished or meritorious ser vice, vacant by the a pp ointment of Lord William Paolet to the oolonelcy of the 87th Fusiliers. will (nye the Army and Nary Gazette) be bestowed on Colonel Thomas Williams, C. 8., of the 4th Regiment. Colonel Williams has been just forty-one years on full pay, a great portion of which was on colonel service, and he commanded the 4th Regi meet in the Crimea. The Commissary-General-in-Chief, John Wil liam Smith, C. 8., is about (says the Army mid Nary Oa 'MO on the oompletion of his term of tire yeas' at the War-office, to retire, after 4L years' service. In him the department will lose an officer of distinguished ability, of great administrative capacity. and of untiring industry. There are few persons unconnected with the service who k e en h o e laboriously and how sucoesefully the oommimarr worked at Constantinople to supply our army in C: i Crimes, and how much he did in placing the much abused and hard-toiling department on an eau tine system. He will, in all likelihood, be succeeded by Commissary- Cenral W. J. T. Power, C. 13. THE KIDNAPPING OF SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS. The reports which have been published of the kidnapping of South Sea Islanders by Peruvian slave-dealers appear to have excited a general feel ing of horror and indignation in the Australian colonies. The press is loud in its denunciations of the infamous acts which have been committed, and a meeting has been held at Sydney to memo rialise the English parliament upon the subject. At this meeting of which the Hon. John Hay, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, waschairman, an account of thekidnapping that has been carried on was read by the Rev. W. Murray, for many years a missionary in Western Polynesia. The follow ing is a report of the statements made by this gentleman : The priticipel authorities to which f am indebted for the fate embodied in the following statement are the Rev. Henry Nisbet and the Rev. Henry Gee, miesionaries in Samoa ; the Rev. W. G. lowa, missioaary on Savers Jihad ; J. C. Williams, Foe.. her Britannic Majesty's con sul for Semen ; a gentleman in Valparaiso, sageW in mer cantile pursuits, whose name I am not at liberty to mili tias • Captain Webster, of the Flying Fish • Make and &missile, native teachers • and • letter which ' appeared in the Sydney Morning H erald. The first attempts to capture and carry into slavery natives of the isles of the Pacific, so fez ss our information poi, were made among the small islands of the Tahitian Group, under French protection. somewhere about twelve months sines. To the honour of the French authorities in Tahiti, they adopted prompt measures to put a stop to these iniquitous proceedings. One vessel, the Meroedcd Ulholy, was seized with over 150 natives on beard. These, of course, were ell rescued. The vessel was condemned and sold, and the captain sentenced to five years' penal servi tude, and the supercargo to ten. These infamous men are now undergoing their punishment. Four or five other evade have also been seized by the French, and have had their mew as slavers abruptly brought to a close. We ate not in po.ees•oe of particulars as to how they have dealt with the several vessels they have captured. One was allowed to return to Callao, having sold all her rice and other rovisiops, so as to render it impracticable for her to on her voyage se • slaver. Four others were being reta7n7d at Tahiti at the close of April. one at which had been abandoned by her captain, who had fled. But the French have done more than merely mite vessels and rescue those found on beard, they have followed the matterupto headquarters, demanded of thePeruvan govern ment every native who has been taken from islands under their protection, sod for everyone who is missing they are demanding heavy damages. Thus the French are adopting the right course, and for the part they are acting they are entitled to, sad will have, the thanks of the civilised world. So far as appears, however, their efforts hitherto have bees confined to the islan ds nadir their pro- tectioo, and than all but • very anal pert of the countries exposed to the ravages of the maseetealer. That they are quite disposed to extend their efforts beyond them own territory we cannot doubt ; but, as • matter of fact, they . have not yet done so, and in all the other ex posed regions DO check has been or is being imposed upon the perpetrators of thee" deeds of cruelty and blood. It appears that early this year as many as from 1,500 to 2,C30 h•pless beings, collected from the different islands, had been conveyed to South America, and at this date the traffic is being carried on with unabated vigour. We know from reliable authority that twenty-five vessels have been fitted 'out in Cellao, and cleared from that port, under pretext that they were coming to hire labourer. All was to be done by fair arrangement—a thing, by the way, that bears the stamp of absurdity unite face. To mention but • single difficulty - they would find the natives of every separate group speaking • different dialed; sod that would be an effectual barrier in the way of entering into an agrement. But their subsequent prooeedings show clearly enough the real character of their enterprise. De. ceptiore force, murder, are not the resorts of those who go with honest intentions to engage labourers. And in re turning to the coast these vessels further discover their true character by not going to the port whence they come, but skulking into by-harbours. They do not, however, seem to return very frequently. The necessity for this is avoided by an expedient in keejiug with the whole &e -recter of their doings. They have a depot at an Wend called Eater Island. This island is about thirty six miles in circuit. It lies in longitude 109 W.,snd latitude 27 S. It is said that they have completely swept the island of its inhabitants. Seven vessels assembled on the island, mat on shore most of their crews, no doubt theroughlys rmed, surrounded the natives, and carried them off. Having carried off the people, they took hogs, poultry, and whatever else they desired, and burned the houses, reserving, no doubt, as many as they wanted for their own purposes. To this island the slavers carry the wretched beings whom they manage to seize, and a schooner plies between the island and the coast, carrying cargo after cargo to slavery and death. These vessels are said to be in whole or in part owned by a mercantile house in Callao, and this house is further said to be connected with • firm in Liverpool. When the Humboldt sailed from Samoa on the 12th of May last, there were three of these vessels about that group lying in wait off the different island., with the view of pick ing up any mace or boat that might venture out to sea. One small boat had been caught. The crew consisted of two Samosas and one Portuguese. The captain was induced to ist the Portuguese go. The Samoans he carried off. On board one vessel that called off Samoa there were 300 natives of different islands, and the captain wished to obtain 40 more to complete his cargo. Think of 700 human beings, accustomed to the moat perfect freedom, crowded on booed • single vessel, in the heart of the iro . pics. We have reliable information respecting the following islands and the numbers taken from there s—Fitialanep, 100 ; Puke , cki e ; Manahiki and Maugarongaro, 40; Tokelau, 60; ialM e s, b wth t nd, be6°eiception total fr° o7 tvage ese mi lst% which las h ese in latitude 19 S., sod longitude 170 W., all lie towards the line about latitude S. 8 to 10, and longitude W. from 150 to 172. On all these islands, except Fitiahogi, we have Ws- Coos, and it is owing to that that we are in on of the information we have. But for that we • t have been in utter ignoraoce of what has taken place ; and this awakens painful apprehensions as to what may have been the fate of other islanders where no one ia found to tell the tale of their wrongs, each aa Easter Island already mentioned. and High Island, from which, it is said, • ship load of people has been taken—that there have been such doings on a large male is clear from the fact that in addi tion to the number we have named, from 1,500 to 2,000 have been taken to the land of bon dage. On the whole it is certain that considerably over 2,000 either are now in actual bondage, or are on their way to the land of doom, or have had their lives cut short by the hardsbips and cruelties to which they have been exposed. And we know from good authority, that it is designed to raise the number to 10,000, of course making no account of those who die on their way to their destination, or lose their lives in en counters with their captors. Such is she state of the case that now claims our sympathies—a case deplorable in the highest degree. It may be questioned whether ever • case calling more urgently for prompt sad effective interference was presented to • Christian community. Let ply one read the simple 'elms tales of the Barotoligan and Samoan teachers, Malta and Samuel*, and be must be strangely constituted if his soul is not stirred to its lowest depths. One of the most touching incidents that has yet come to light connected with the whole affair is the fact that on the morning following the dreadful day on which the mur derous proceedings took place at Savage Island the natives, while their bowie were bleeding and their tears flowing because fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons were torn from their embrace, should lift up their voice to God in prayer, not to invoke vesgence upon the heads of their guilty oppressors, but to pray that their hearts might be changed, and that they might be led to abandon tbeir wicked courses. How like the spirit of Him whose followers they profess to be—" Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And theee are the desceadarits of men who rushed upon Captain Cook when he landed upon their shores, as he expresses it, like wild boars, and who them selves were in the same state twelve years ago as that in which they were found by Cook. What a mighty influence must the Gospel have exerted upon them. Still more touching, perhaps, is the scene on board that floating hell where the poor captives were confined. When they supposed . the hour had arrived at which they had been wont with their families to worship God in their happy homes—now no longer theirs they united in their accustomed exercises ; they prayed and sang prelate to God. and, no doubt, like their friends on shore, sought blessings for the miserable men by whom they were being so cruelly wronged. The following extract from a letter of Mr. Lewes pain. fully illustrates these remarks •—" When the ship sailed oe the night of the capture. the natives on board thought she was making a long tack ; hut they sOOO found that they only were really off. They then held a council as to what was to be done ; the young men were for seizing the captain and crew, tying them all up, and then taking the ship in, and, when the natives were all safe OD shore, un tying the crew and letting them go ; but the old men over ruled this, lest any of the foreigners should be killed in the affray. Two white men, armed, guarded the hatchway, which was shut down, and the poor creatures below were in total darkness. They kept knocking at the door, deck, and rides of the ship, and calling to be let out. After a while, some of the white men went down and beat them with great pieces of wood for making a noise. When the peer captives thought it was about the time of their evening worship, they pelted in their wretched confioemeut in shirring and prayer." On the following day the vessel stood in towards the @bore. Some natives, ignorant of the character of the ship and of what had transpired, went on hoard. Those in coofinement recognised the well-known sounds of their native tongue. They shouted for help, but of course in vain. By desperate efforts they succeeded in breaking a hole in the door brae .enough to let see through st * time. A numllersucceerled in reaching the deck, and rushed over the ship's side into the sea, but there wereonly two or three small canoes—land was • long way off, and some were not able to swim well. The wretches on board fired from the duck upon the helpless natives in the canoes and the water. A boat was lo,ered, and many were recaptured. Seven only escaped. Among those earned off were thirteen church members, and many candidates. Eighteen wives are left without husbands, and sixty-three children are deprived of their fathers. In :mother pert of the island stil more dreadful scenes occurred which we maxi not particularise. In reference to pril Dot •b me ilia hi ion boi 1,( lithi Irkr ct k god i ebsei PAH iLd too w. twe
