Tin Imperial French schooner Gazelle, which reached Sydney shortly before the Overland Mail left, brought thither from Tahiti detailed and documentary information respecting an outbreak of piracy in a most atrocious form in the seas of Oceania. The facts, which are contained in a series of depositions and legal reports, have been published by the Imperial Commissioner com manding in the Society Islands as " without " parallel since the repression and destruction "of the Barbary corsairs." It appears that a fleet of seven or more vessels left Callao late last year for the islands of Oceania, professedly to recruit emigrants for the purposes of colonization, but in reality prepared to obtain possession by force or fraud of as many of the natives as they could carry, and, returning to Pero, sell them into slavery. An account of the operations of two of these vessels will suffice to give an idea of the common enterprise. The barque Empress, of Lints, belonging to Don FRANCISCO CARNAVARE, sailed from Callao on the 22nd of November last with a ship's company composed of persona of Spanish, Greek, Chilian, Italian, Portuguese, American, French, Eng lish, and Maltese origin. The barque having arrived in the Bay of Tipee, Noukahiva, by the middle of December, a party of six was landed on the eastern shore and collected the natives, with whom they spent about two hours, making present. of looking glasses, calicoes, and necklaces. A number of Ka•akas were enticed to the vessel, but the appear ance of a French agent, and the energetic protests of two Englishmen on board, who then for the first time learned the extreme course which the captain was about to take, temporarily frustrated his intention, and the Empress left the bay. On the 21st December the barque was in the Bay of Hakamoni. Here the captain found an Englishman named Ham Jamas NICHOIR, • resident on the island, whose he endeavoured to engage in his project. He told NICHOL; that they had come to get Indiana and to sell them in Peru, and as they were unable to obtain them willingly, they were resolved to take them by force ; that if he would join them his fortune was made, for in Peru he would get from five to ten piastres per head for every Indian landed, but that from three to four hundred were wanted to make • cargo. While on board Nicitme saw the two Englishmen who bad protested against the scheme wounded and in irons, and was told by the captain that " but for those two rascals he should have got two " hundred Kanakas at Noukabiva." NICHOLS was also told that when the required number of natives had been obtained it would be easy to get out of all trouble by cajoling one of them to sign a contract as chief of the others. Perceiving in what a situation he stood, as depositary of the captain's secret, Nicacma feigned to be pleased with the offer ; but the cap tain di s t r usted him, and would not allow him to leave the ship unaccompanied. In the end he escaped with his Kanakas by seizing one of the Empress's boats while the captain was asleep and while the doctor, who was second in authority, was drunk. Soon after this the two Englishmen were set ashore, on a desolate spot, under charge of a vagabond Kaneko" who was provided with four bottles of whisky and a new glistening knife for the occasion. On Tuesday, the 28th December, fbe Empress was at Hikes. By the representa tions of a colonist named Arrow more than &hun dred Kanekas were induced to go on board. The following account of what passed when the time of action bad come is taken from the joint deposition The Prises' of Wales hes:toured Mr. Hes& with a sitting for his photograph yesterday morning at his rooms in Piccadilly.

LATEST INTELLIGENOIL ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP TO THE LAM OF THE at Marquesas : LONDON. - • A little before the departure o f the wow! Antoro re turned to shore. Ten Kanakas having gone to eat and drink is the captain's cabin, the doctor shut the door on them, and placed himself armed between them and the door. About ten others had descended to the between decks, where victuals and drink were given to', them. Whilst thus engaged, a signal was given by striking on the bell, when some of the crew endeavoured to clap on the hatches, but the Indiana who were on deck p tad them from doing this, and eight Kanakas regained the deck, two others, who had been seized and bound, being left below. The Indians on deck, about a hundred in number, seeing that the vessel was under way, threw themselves into the sea, in order to gain their canoes ; and the crew being unable to seise the Kanakaa, who defended themselves vigorously, some being luckily armed with tomahawks, got posartion of only seven women or children. The Indians, whose names are given below, complain that their relatives, to the number of nineteen, have been bound and carried off by this vessel ; and bear witness to the fact that violence only had kept them on board. — Da SISHEL, Resident des hthrquiaes. Here follow the names of the Kanaku carried off, being eleven men and eight women. But the most atrocious acts in prosecution of this enterprise were those which were con certed between the captains of the Peruvian ' , barques Carolina, Rosa Carmen, and Rosa Patricia, the brig El Castro, the schooner Cora, and the ship Guillermo. Those vessels having been as sembled at Easter Island on the 22nd December, it was resolved by the captains of them to un dertake a grand expedition on shore. Accordingly the next morning, at half-past seven, a large body of men from the several crews was collected on the beach under arms. The captain of the Rosa Carmen took them under his command, and having addressed them on their duties, posted them on the rocks and bushes around, himself remaining on the beach with the other captains and a few men, pretending to open packages, and displaying gaudy trinkets of small value. The natives, as usual, attracted by curiosity and a desire to pos sess these objects, soon came down in large num bers. While they were admiring the bead., neck laces, mirrors, and other articles, and hoping for presenta, the captain of the Rosa Carmen dis charged a revolver in the air. The signal was answered by • simultaneous fire from the sur rounding rocks and bushes, and ten Indians fell. A scene of the wildest confusion, which is thus described by an eye-witness, ensued :—" The greater part of " the Indians fled in all directions, uttering " grievous cries. Some threw themselves into the " sea, others scrambled over the rocks and con cealed themselves as best they could. But " during this time about 200 of them were seized " and securely bound. The prisoners were Mime " diately carried on board the Rosa Carmen, " filling the air with their cries and groans, and " were the next day divided among the vessels, " according to the number of men which each "had furnished for the expedition." One of the crew of the Guillermo, which had thirteen Indians for its share, deposes that when the ship was about ten miles out at sea the cap tain and supercargo began to take stock of their acquisitions, and finding a boy too small and a woman too old to be sold, threw them both into the sea. The ship's carpenter, who offered an ob jection to this way of disposing of them, was si lanced with a threat that if he did not hold his tongue he should be thrown after them. It is satisfactory to know that several of diese l YAWS, are in the hands of our French allies, and' that they will certainly receive the righteous re ward of their deeds. The Inreaut Comae mos as commanding in the Society Islands on hear ing of these occurrences sent the steamer Latouche Trevino to warn the natives of the neighbouring islands, and to encourage them to resistance. While performing this service Lieutenant Ds ST. SHILMIN captured one of the ships, the natives of Raps obtained possession of another, and a third was seized after her unsuspecting master bad taken her into harbour to water. It appears that before the vessels left Callao the French Minister, on learning that the object of their expedition was to obtain immigrants, warned the captain of at least one of them that if any force were employed to get possession of the Indians, the consequences to all concerned would be serious. The captain of the Empress, however, told NICHOLS that he cal culated upon eluding the vigilance of the French and English Ministers by disembarking his cap tures at Reecho, a port about 69 miles from Callao. The ill-fortune of this first expedition, and the measures that have been taken by the French authorities in Oceania render it unlikely that these misdeeds will soon be repeated. It is to be feared, however, that for some time to come the natives of the islands, in whom the passion of revenge is strong,will retaliate these outrages indis criminately upon visitors from the various Spanish speaking States, whom they confound under a common designation, and that thus the innocent may suffer for the guilty. PRUSSIA. The following address has just been issued by the Bishop of London to the laity of his diocese : "London House, June 5. " My Christian Friends,—The revenue returns and the census have been felt to preach a great lesson. Thoughtful men ask themselves whether God's unmerited goodness to this nation, vouchsafed for so many years, has stirred us to show our thankfulness by doing what we can, each in his own sphere, to secure that efforts for the highest goad of the people shall keep pace with our steady progress in material prosperity. Immured with this thought • number of owners of property and employer' of labour in London, with other persons interested in the wilful of the metro polis, did me the favour of meeting here a few weeks since to consider what means could be devised for supplying the spiritual wants of our rapidly-incrusting population. I called their attention to an appendix in my last chugs, which sets forth the present condition of 83 of our largest parishes in reopen of the proportion of churches and clergy to the number of inhabitants. It was granted on all hands that our population increases at the rate of some 40,000 each year, and that, great as the exertions are which have been made of late, both by societies and individuals, our utmost efforts have not hitherto been able to do more than supply the additional means of grace required to meet this increase I and that, therefore, the original evil of • rut population inadequately cared for remains much as it was when Bishop Blomfield began his labours. While I feel assured there was no one present who did not allow how much the future well-being of oar people must depend on the improvement of their physical condition and on good secular education, we were still, I think, unanimous in the belief that their physical and intellectual state could not be effectually improved if their spiritual waste were neg lected. It was acknowledged that the time had come when some effort on • large wale ought to be made, not only to prevent matters growing worse, but to make some sensible progress in penetrating the dense mass which bad ageumulated in past times of neglect. While all present were, I believe, willing to allow the great value of the exertions of various kinds already made to ameliorate the condition of our people, and while there was no jealous depreciation of what had been done and is doing without our own communion, still we unanimously acknowledged the loud call which the present state and the prospects of London address especially to the national church. sad we determined to *et vigorously to work for afresh effort. " While we considered the state of some parishes totally unmanageable from their vast extent, and the necessity of their immediate subdivision into separate districts, each with its new church, the meeting still fully allowed that it is not merely for the erection and endowment of new churches, or even the formation of independent districts, that an effort must be made ; it was felt that put experience points to the necessity of securing at once living agents to labour io the living church, and nesting that the material edifice with all the requisites of a new parish will follow in good time, when required ; and it was urged that great care must be taken not to press too far the principle of parochial subdivision. We pledged ourselves to send missionary clergy at once into all our most destitute districts that they may assist the incumbents, and to surround them with such appliances as are indispensable : we under took to help them, with the concurrence of the incum- Dente, in building temporary churches, ached churches, or mission rooms, where necessary, and to supply what other helps they might need as adjuncts in their immediate work. "The question of the amount of funds required was anxiously discussed, and the moderate proposal which I had myself made was set aside, the meeting determining that not less than a million of money should be called for, to be raised in the next ten years. It was felt that nothing but harm could insult from not at once facing the evil in its full magnitude, and it was thought that both the vast resources of London and the amount expended in former years pointed to such a sum as both necessary and likely to be produced. It was urged that as the munificent 000tribet. tioos promised yearly since 1836 by the landowner, of London to the Diocesan Church Building Society will soon come to an end, the new subscription to be now cons mewed mast be on • scale by no means lower than that which it is intended toveplace. " With these general resolutions as to the magnitude at the work, and the way in which to undertake it, the meet ing separated. The time since the meeting has been em ployed in fully considering and maturing our scheme, and I now appeal to the diocese to commence thin great work. " The question bag been raised how far the =paid efforts of the laity may be depended on to contribute valuable as- 1 sistance in bringing the Gospel to the homes and hearts of the neglected people around us. I am certainly not likely to overlook such aid. No man can be more deeply coo-' vinoed than myself how much may be done by laymen with the love of God in their hearts spending such time as they can spare from their secular pursuits in aiding the parochial clergy, while they visit the poor and seek to assist in sup plying both their temporal and their spiritual wants. 1 shall be ready, therefore, at once to receive the names of any such laymen u will enlist themaelves under my direc tions, and to devise suitable arrangements whereby they may have each • proper sphere assigned and receive direc tions for their work, and I shall be glad if inch offers of as sistance are not confined to one sex. " It would, however, be visionary to expect that we could depend altogether on the unpaid assistance of those whose time is greatly occupied by their common 'scalar pursuits. Other lay agency will be at hand. Oar Scripture Readies' Society, which at present for lack of funds can command the services of only 98 readers, but the great value of which, even in its present condition, has for years been acknowledged by our parochial clergy, will become a far more effectual handmaid of the church if its means are supplemented by assistance from the fund we propose to raise. A similar remark may be made as to the society which supplies parochial mission women to our clergy, and through the powerful instrumentality of their watt influence gains access to many homes not before maned. " It is my desire that our scheme be as elastic as possible. We need • great addition both of clerical and lay agency ; we need to increase the miserably poor endowments of many of our incumbents ; to plant missionary curates amidst our dense populations, supplying them, if possible, at once, with suitable residences, from which the influence of a Christian home may radiate through each district ; we shall require to build many schoolrooms, chapels, and churches. Each year, also, may suggest new means for advancing the great work we are undertaking ; and it is my desire that no approved agency which is suggested in connexion with oar national church should be excluded from our field of operations. " The plan, then, which I now commend to you, lade. pendently of the appeal for voluntary labourers, is this that • fund be raised to meet the spiritual wants of the diocese ; that • very large body of persons, clergy and laity, interested in this work be formed into a hoard to co-operate with me as bishop ; that out of this board an executive oommittee be elected who @boll represent the different in terests with which we have to deal ; that as the parochial clergy are so much occupied with their more directly spiritual labour, an effort be made to place the badness connected with the food as much as possible in the hands of laymen.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. INION 0111 OWN PARIS, FILIDAT EVINING. The Paris journals, anticipating public impa tience, do not readily resign themselves to accept the statement of the Moniker that no despatches from General Forey, confirming the fall of Puebla, can be expected to arrive in France before the pro tracted date of July 2 ! The Patric says : There is, however, reason to hope that a special packet will bring, before many days, an official despatch from the eommanler•inchief of the expeditionary army, making known, in somewhat lea summary terms, the glorious feat of arms, the details of which the public is so anxious to peruse in full. The Pays, after citing the Moniteur, observes : Bat there is every reason to hope that we shall not have to wait so long for the important and precious document in guestios. In another column the Pays gives some of the grounds upon which this hope is founded. It quotes a despatch in the Times reporting that ac cording to the Diario of Havannah of May 26, the news of the taking of Puebla was sent from Vera Cruz by the French war steamer Doria, which brought despatches from General Forey to Havan nah. The Pays then very naturally surmises that "this ship Doris will have left Havannah at once, and must, without long delay, arrive in a French port with the despatches and letters so impatiently expected." There is, I believe, no such ship as the Doria in the French navy ; but that matters not ; a mistake in a name is very supposable. The really extraordinary thing is that the Moniteur should take no notice of the information upon which the minor government journals build up their arguments, should assume that General Forey will have sent no special boat with despatches of such transcendent importance, and that nothing is likely to be beard from him before the arrival of the ordinary English mail in July ! It is remarkable that the Moniteur in repeating, as from "private despatches," the news that May 17 was the date of the capitulation, and that General Forey sent a division towards Mexico the next day, uses as applicable to those two facts the conditional moods strait and aurait, which in French newspaper language imply doubt and die trust. The use of these words argues that the govern ment has really no other official information than that contained in the two lines telegraphed by Consul Montholon from New York to Cape Race. But if that be the best evidence, it must be ad mitted, considering how much false news from Mexico has come through New York, that it is very slight ; and that reasonable doubts may be yet entertained whether Puebla is really taken. It is perfectly astounding that if Consul Montholon had his news direct from General Forey he should not have said so in his telegram. In the absence of that statement, his despatch merely amounts to a New York rumour, which the consul thought of sufficient importance to adopt. The news may be true ; but if so, I persist that it is very unsatisfac torily laid before the public. The announcement in the Moniteur that the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have congratulated the Emperor on the event does not of course add to the weight of the other evidence, including that of the minute guns of the Invalides and the illuminations. The Petrie grumbles because Spain and England have allowed Prussia and Austria to be beforehand with them in sending congratulations. I think, after the statement in the Moniteur, it will be well to wait at least till July 2. The Pattie, contradicting an article in the Pays which I commented upon the other day, says posi tively that M. Drouyu de Lbuys has ordered Gen. Montebello on his return to Rome from Paris to concert measures with any general that the Italian government may order to meet him for the more effectual suppression of brigaudage, and that General La Marmon will probably be charged with this mission. The assertion of the Pays in its hostile article to Italy that no fresh negotiations were necessary or probable, and that the Italian minis ter's despatch was scornfully left without an answer, would seem to be false. The Daily News is seised. OF LONDON DIOCESE OF doe, is bound before God to exert himself for their spiritual good ; and even those who live at a distance, and never visit Pa, are bound to help London, lest the effect of evil generated here be felt in their remote homes. If all those whose bounden duty it is will only respond even moderately. according to their meat', to this z.ppeal, abundant funds will soon be produced. Our own voluntary subscriptions, freely given at once, will draw such help from the Etc's siastical Commissioners and other public bodies u the law allows them to give ; and we shall stimulate many fresh voluntary exertions if we it once show ourselves to be ia earnest, by • vigorous self-deoying effort. So far as mate rial srrssgsmenta are renowned, I have no fear but that we shall woo he able to do our work. " What I claim at ores is Out we be pat is • position to mod a hundred new clew into oar crowded parishes, and that these be a ided by a hundred scripture readers—that new churches be built and endowed at once is such of our largest narishes as. being quite overgrown, call for immediate subdivision. Thus a great work rill be doge in the hitherto neglected mass, and as immediate visible impression made in advance of the increase of the population. I see oo difficulty which may not be easily surmounted in the material organisation of this work. " And, my Christian friends, if • little self-denial cau accomplish this outward moors, shall we doubt that our Lord and Master will Mess our work spiritually, if it be undertakes in the spirit of prayer. Do we ask where the new clergy are to come from, who are to be labourers in this outward organisation! He who has told us to pray the Load of the harvest to send forth labourers into his harvest will net fail to sup p ly the right instruments. Notwithstanding all that is mid of the diffi. ashy of procuring curates, I myself have no doubt that an appeal for such • work as we are undertaking will be an swered by the generous Christian youth of England; and that es our country fi nds young soldiers to fight its battles when the emergency arises, and promising young men from our universities devote themselves every year to be mission aries in distant lands, so the call of their country and their church will raise up soldiers of Christ to undertake this truly muooowq labour here in the Owe which more than any other has elatms upon Englishmen as being the centre of English life.

His rayed highness cordially reciprocated this with. After wards the New Zealand party proceeded to the residence of the Duke of Newcastle in Portmansquare, where they took luncheon with his grace. The Spectator of to-day says :—" We have to cor rect a slight inaccuracy in our statement with regard to the discussion on Mr. Kingsley's honorary degree in the heb domadal board. The opposition offered by Dr. Hansel to Mr. Kispley's D.C.L., which we attributed last week to the odium theologicum, was, in fact, of the slightest and most technical character, and not advanced on moral or religious grounds. As Mr. Kingsley's name has been with draws by the exercise, perhaps of a wise discretion, on the park of the Prince of Wales, we trust that all the bitter feelings which might otherwise have manifested themselves in the approaching Commemoration may be laid aside in honour of the occanon. There will be other and more sea sonable opportunities for the pitched battles which bigotry too often forces on ressomble men."
