Sta,—ln one of your leading articles of yesterday you have called public attention to a very sore point smarm the volunteer, Ms, the inefficiency of the officers. Thu matter a of vital importauce to the movement, and you will be the USW of cooferring a great Lenefit on the service if yea ens brig the governuient to a sense of the serious remposeibillty wlich they are incurring in taking no MA suns M arm. that those to whom they grunt commis. isms shook) qualify themselves fur the performance of the Edam which, in the event of their being called into actual smirks, would be required of them. There are comparatively few corps in which complaints may mot daily be heard of some officer who is totally unfit for kis post, and who entirely ignores the obligation. he is seder to those who hare rural him to the position is which be stands. Officers of this class do not, as • ride, trouble their men with much of their company ; bat, ea fortunately, it is just on those osonsiom when their room would be of immeasurably pester valse that they come forward, and at the cost of their men cake an exhibition of then lamentable inefficiency. If theme men US found inetimpetent sow, bow much more so would they be is the day of battle? And are our volunteers, composed as they as. of the :ery cream of Eagliab youth, to be exposed to the risk of such a disgrace as that which lan befallen their brethren in America! The gpveromeat an perhaps somewhat fearful of interior * toe iamb with the volunteers, aod thiek it best to allow then r MM. their owe affabs, bat they may rest as sured tart the gnat majority would hail with satisfaction m ph& which might be suggested for remedying this great It is wet reeeosable to be supposed that the officers, who are principally chosen frau among civilians, could learn their duties m u short a time as the private, but ceruinly some plan ought to be adopted to oblige volunteer officers to apply themselves to the study of their new pro imam, and it is indeed no more than the men have in my opinion a right to demand of theta, and it is the duty of the governmest to see that they do so. if, however, the government do not take the matter up, why area we ourselves devise and carry oat • plan for making oar officers more efficient t We have a class of men amen se who would make capital examiners ; I rifer to the adjutants, who being military men would be thoroughly amplst. Two or three of them might meet together, Aber at stated times or as OCCIWOD might require, and fans a board. Iwciuld , proposii have two kinds of examinations, one of a very sample diameter for subalterns, but before a solid tern could receive bis captaincy I would require him to pio duce a certificate from the examiners that he was thoroughly acquainted with all the detail, of battalion and light infantry drill, together with the theory of musketry instruction. The last examination might be passed by subalterns at any time, but the production of the examioers' certificate should becuine absolutely necessary to qualify him for promotion. Another plan (which would, however, involve considerable expense, and as to the practical working of which I enter tain some doubts) woukl be to establish our or two military colleges in different parts of the country, to be supported partly by pante from government, and partly by contribu tions from the volunteer officers, where the officers might p to recite instruction. Trusting that the importance of the subject, and your de sire to forward the great national n ovenient will procure this letter a place in your valuable columns, l am, .kc. Richmond, Surrey, August 15. JUNIOR. Tea MISNINO HULL &LAMM—lnformation has at length been received respecting the fat* of the 'plaudit screw steamer, 1. C. Pearson, lalongiog to Z. C. Pearson, Esq.. ex.mayor of Hull, and there is every reason to believe that she foundered at sea after a collision with a 'chooser oo the :a)th ult. between Bornholm ad Outhlsod, in the Baltic. The following telegram has been remised from Copenhagen : " An barque leaded on Saturday, at Elsinore, the crew of the echoimer Kotka, Captain Striml ess* of WANI, which, on the voyage to l.ubeck with tar, had on the 30th inst. been in collisioe with n three•mastad peer sianier, MUM wiltoown." The report adds, " The sehomer soak, and the crew drifted for ZI hours on the auto, and ssw the amw of the steamer constantly throwing came owirissed. fl One of the sch.soner were afterearibi picked up by the aliamensationed barque. This perlops refers to the Z. C. Planes. of which nothing k oie b een heard." No doubt V eetertained is Hull that the steamer alluded t was the Z. C. POSTKPI). and as none of the crew have since been beawdei. it is fully believe,' that (.liptiin Illiugwortb, with his wife and servant, sal a crew of ii betide, besides ewersl pesseogers, have perished, making a total of upwards et lOU lives sacrificial in the Baltic since October.

NATIONAL AN.9IICIATION FOR TILE PRO MOTION OP SOCIAL SCIENCE. _ . 1 The following are the concluding words of Lord Ermigluun's inaugural speech :—The friends of Social Science, iodiseoluhly bowel up as it is in peace, must exult iii vonteinpleting the position of the counter_ , and in reflecting that the security of society cannot be shaken by any politicians' scheme, ur any general's ambition, or any monarch's caprice- .by the speculations of avarice, whether in traders or soldier. ; the military genius of one, or the restless intrigue of another. Against all we are, heaven be thanked, prepared, for the people of our empire have shown that they must be not merely sub dued, but extirpated, before an invasion of them can succeed. Would that we had • like consolation in casting our eye across the Atlantic, and regazding the conflict which now shakes the greet union of our kinsmen ! On this most unhappy subject it becomes us to elestain from whatever might be deemed to indi cate an opinion upon the merits of the controversy. But we should ill represent the friend. of the science we culti vate, if we did not breathe an earnest hope for the termi nation of • civil war, the real origin of which has been the diaappoiatment of faction in the thirst for places, and which, as if to make it more respectable and more amiable, has assumed as its avowed principle the perpetuation and extension of slavery, now for the tint time declared to be gout i u ir,,,,1j, Surely, without offence to either parts - ice this lamentable mutest, we may breathe a wish that the least of the war's seas—its heave expense —were bestowed upon the redemption of the coloured race, upon the ami cable removal of the greatest obstruction that exists to American prosperity, the greatest blot that meta on the American name. Humbly, hut deeply, may we be thankful fur the blessings we enjoy under our free and well-poised ' Coestitution, which leaves us towanls othernations without " hatred and all uncharitableness," and certainly without eevy ; the blessing of being able to continue our labours in secure possession of freedom from all tyranny, whether of one or of the multitude—of individual caprice, so galling to our pride, or of the more insupportable domi nation of the mob, oo omnipresent thet nothing is too high for it to reach, nothing so humble and obscure as to escape. ' We have been surveying the progress of the put year, ! and have only had time to touch the higher points I. the outline, leaving of necessity much that is of iniportanee 1 untouched. The past lends encouragement to the fir ! tore. Let um Oen persevere to the end. But let us not forget that all our efforts to improve the condition of our fellow-creatures, soil make them worthy of their destiny, are as nothing compared with the progress in higher things. These are the great aim and end et our being. In all our pursuits, in our whole existence, an instinctive sense attends us that we are unsatisfied. The want of somewhat permanent ever haunts us. Whatever exertions we have made, what ever ammo had, whatever gratification received, only makes us feel bow hollow it all is—how much we desire that which endures. The scenes of early days, which we revisit, now become dim from time, peopled with the forms of those whose memory they sadly recall, nukes us long for the bright scenes that can never fade, and for rejoining friends to part no more. The preempt doubt, and the struggle, and the derkness, is for the hour ; the prospect is cheering, and it is for ever—sodso it is without National Association, which oonunands our allegiance, and justifies the hopes it Umpires Undaunted by resistance—undisturbeil by f action •—uodumayed by real coldness or affected contempt, we persevere in our course of social labour ; but we lift our views higher, to scenes far above the dark ness of ignorance that shrouds one region, the mite of doubt that obscure, the storms of passion that Tex another, and behold the loft' anima shining in the faith and adoration of ( ;oil. glowing with universal beuevolence to num. " As some tall cliff " (I gladly pronounce these noble lines in the laud which gave them birth): " As some tall cliff, that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale, and midway leaves the storm ; Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread. Eternal sunshine settles on its head." At the close of his address his lordship was, as before dated, warmly applauded. His Excellency the Logo LIZUTINANT then rose amidap plamisand said—My Lord Brougham, ladies, soil gentlemen— hays ocarina with the presumptuous intention of pointing elder postirsylog the varied merits of that full, able, lied skeletal address - to which we have just had the pleasure sad playas'e of listening. (Applause.) Its rich copiousness of topics belongs to the several departments of inquiry now about to be opened in this present meeting. The eminent and enlightened men who constitute those sections will bring to that address all the discriminating attention which its bipartisan so amply deserves. But about the anther of that the renowned president of our Social Coupes; though he himself even me warniof that panegyrics are Dever popular, yet I must be permitted to say what shall nevertheless be a very few word,. These words, indeed, might be many if they endeavoured to follow the hellbent track of his lengthened career, or to sum up the diversified list of his powers or the thick amount of his achievement.— (epplasissl —twill not rekindle the ashes of any ancient contro versy, nor tea the risk of awakening the sparks of new nem. I will not utter even one of those breathing and burning words which have formed tho bottle-cries of contending parties, but I will only ask what great cause has triumphed within the memory of tbe present century which is Dot associated with the name, the labours, and the triumphs of Henry Brougham and of Lord Brougham! (Lord applause.) Without trenching too much upon what is merely personal, I may mention the delight it has been to me to bring to • meeting like this, as my honoured guest, the person who above thirty years ago was my own colleague in the rem mutation of what was then by far the largest constituency in the United Kingdom. (Applause.) Often have I bowl him, as we mid of the great orator of old, whom he has been one of the foremost to appreciate and approach, " Torreutem expleoi modenntem frena theatri ;" • and it is indeed now a rare and a refreshing spectacle to see him, at the period of life which ho has railed, with a milder end mellower wisdom filling up the large outlines of his past career, and crowning his life-long work of public spirit and benevolence. (Applause.) A few more words I feel to be due to the occasion of our being here assembled ; and I may. from the circumstance of the post which I now bare the honour to fill in this country, avail myself of • somewhat representative capacity in bidding welcome to the Association for the Promotion of Social Science within the ancient capital of Ireland. (Applause.) It has been my lot to serve in the ranks of the association when it held one of its meetings upon English soil in the greet town of Liverpool, and I then formed a high estimate of its capacity of usefulness. Besides the amount of actual knowledge imputed and of ideas interchanged, the main advantage derived from the concourse of so much intelligence and benevolence is the stimulus and guidance which it arfonls to private effort : and it may well happen that statesmen awl legislatures may derive some of their happiest and most pregnant inspirations from the hint* thrown out and picked up in the quiet but earnestther ings of the sections of this association. (Applause .) The association, ladies and gentlemen, has for two or three suc cessive years held its meetings is England and Scotland. It now opens .his evcoing its beneficient mission • quirk-witted, an impulsive, and a generous people among I firmly trust that the results of its being gathered iu Dublin and in Ireland will be mutually satisfactory and salutary.

Lord Brougham has remarked that it was just sod proper that this meeting of the assoeiatiou should beheld in Ireland , for where could it be more fitly held than in a country where social de velopment has been, within a very short period, so rapidly advanced ! Whatever may he the results of the labours of the distinguished men who, during the ensuing week, will take part io the proceedings of the meeting, all who hear me mast agree that their exertions cutlet but be attended with the greatest advantage, for they come to gether to advance objects which are connected with the in. tenets of mankind in general, and which are likely to be *Wilily beneficial to Ireland.

A vestry was held yesterday morning, when it was proposed to make a church. rate of 'did. in the pound. The proposition was rejected by a majority of live votes, and the churchwardens then de ""mied a poll. The polling will take placo during to.day (Friday), sod will close at 9 o'clock this evening. It is satisfsetory to find that while a feeling of apathy on this question has been displayed in some quarters, the anti , church rata party is still alive to the importance of local opposition. CHESS. M. St. Amant, the well-known player, publishes I the following sketch in the Sport :—" During a late visit to Loudon, we witnessed, at the City Chess Club, a very interesting match between M. Kobuk and If Andersson. The latter gentleman, Professor of Maths =the in the University of Breslau, had availed himself of his yearly vacation to make a trip to London, in order to try his strength with IL Kolisch, who had become the terror of chess-players on the banks of the Thames, and whom the laurels of theadmirable Sforphy atio prevent from sleeping. These able players, both Germans, began by a skir mish of four games, the honours of which were equally divided, and then, in order to decide a more serious match, the prime for which (ten guinea.) was subscribed by the members of the club, they began a series of games, in which he who should first gain four was to be declared the victor. After various alternations of loss and gain, as well as drawn games, though only one game was played each day, beginning at noon pre cisely, the score on the let instant showed the following remit :—Two drawn games, three games won by N. Ko- Bach, and four by M. Andersen. who was consequently declared the winner. Though Kolisch was beaten by losing the last game (which ended by an announced check mate in five moves), be is young, and has plenty of time to take his revenge against the veteran Anderssen, who this time bravely came to challenge him, and dis played great skill, especially in the two concluding games, which he gained rapidly, havin g previously appeared some what inferior to his antagonist. The games played were certainly fine ones, though often disparaged by mistakes unworthy of such able champions, and they also showed a feeling of mutual apprehension. What particularly pleased us in this match was an innovation a reel progrom, without which it is no longer possible to undertake a serious struggle. This innovation, which we have always advocated in the Pstamt , de, and still more recently in the Sport, consists in fixing a MR/6M= of time for the moves ; for it is necessary that a gains should not he interminable, and that the conditions should be equal for both parties, whisk they were not when one of the players was allowed, by inten tional slowness, to weary out the patience and faculties of his antagonist. As long ago se UM (see Palanikk, t. I. p. 10) we ourselves were authorised to propose to the English, in the name of Deschapelles (our illustrious and regretted master), on the occasion of his challenge, to este!). 111111 a measure of time ; the practical means of execu tion selected was the hour-glass of old '..aturn, which we borrowed from the mythological deity to recommend it ' for adoption ur insular neighbours, who take for their device " TiTime is money." A querter of a century has elapsed before our idea has prevailed, simple and excellent as it is. The London Chess Club has now adopted the emblem of the fabled god, and we found Kolisch and An dersen separated by two gigantic elypeedru, or rather sand each made to measure the space of two hours. glasses sand is running through the player is bound to make 24 moves, which gives au average of five minutes for each ; but the player is at liberty to give more or less time to any move he pleases, provided the 24 moves are made in 120 minutes. We are happy to state that this first trial was most satisfactory. The two antagonists, though • little moved at first on account of the sword of Damocles suspended over their combinations. soon got used to it, and not the slightest inconvenience was experienced. Seeing that a great many moves, especially at the opening, may be played tepidly, as much as half an hour, or even an hour, may be taken for a decisive move at the dose. In the match we have just witnessed the shortest game took two hours, and the longest urea." THE IRISH CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT. The Northern Whig says :—" The lute censuabringu out some highly significant statistics as to the present and relative position of the Established Church in Ireland, that institution which the late Lord Macaulay mid was ' the most utterly absurd and indefensible of all the institutions now existing in the civilised world.' It appears that there are in Ireland—Members of the Established Church, 678,601 ; Dissenters of all kinds from that Church, 5,098,311 ; majority of Dissenters, 4,419,650. So that a majority of four and a half millions enjoy the privilege of contributing to the support of the religion of the three-quarter million minority. The relative propor tions of the clergy to the laity are equally striking and sig nificant. The 678,661 of the established church &lumina.- Mon are spiritually tended by no fewer than 2,294 derv, being at the rate of a clergyman to every 299 individuals . The Presbyterians, numbering 528,992, have 565 mi nisters, being ono to every 938 persons. The Roman catholics, amounting to 4,490,583, bare 2,462 priests, being one to 1,866 of their laity. Some of the county denominational statistics are remark able. In County Meath, for example—by no means the most Roman catholic county in Ireland, and where there are a good many Presbyterians and other dissenters—there are 140 dery of the !established Church to 6,184 soul', every 47 persons of that denomination having a clergyman to themselves. ID the same county 141 Homan catholic priests minister to • itomanantialis population of 103,489 —one to every 735." THIS BUILDERS' STRIKE. While the government, in concession to repro imitations made to them by the London trade delegates, base agreed at the end of the present month to withdraw the Sappers from their employment at the Chelsea.larracks, on the ground of its iuterterence with trade disputes, a similar system has within tho last few days been intro duced at the Aldershott Camp. 3lr. Myers, of Lambeth, Las just commenced there the erection of • large range of Artillery stables, and the workmen, bricklayers sod others, are all soldiery There are 24 bricklayen and 100 labourers employed, belonging to the following regiment,— the 10th, 84th, 32nd, 25th, 72nd, Rifles, and The attention of the Secretary for War is to be imm= e tel l. y called to the subject, in the belief that the order for the employment of the soldiers has emanated from some sub ordinate quarter. No strike bad taken place o the works, it being without the district in the limits of which the dispute exists. Mr. Myers is also erecting the gas works at the camp, and the workmen employed there have refused to work overtime, or beyond ten bows per day. The brick layers employed by Mr. Parry, at Stratford, in erecting a large rope manufactory at Shadwell, haying ascertained that the masons in the sates employ were receiving the terms of the compromise, waited upon Mr. Parry yes terday, requesting to be put on the same foot ing. This having been refused, the men, ten in number, comprising one society and nine non society men, at once left work, and reported themselves to the strike committee, declining, however, to come on the strike fund. Au aggregate meeting of the operative bricklayers of the metropolis was held last evening at Hawk. stone-hall, Waterloo-road, to receive a report from the strike committee as to the present position of the dispute, the amount of moneys received and expended during the strike, and to re-elect the present committee, or appoint a new one, to carry on the straggle. The meeting was strictly confined to member of the wads. No alteration ham taken place in the position of the samosa during the present week THE LATE AzoropsPßociamvs AT - itiLiPAii': We have reason to expect (says the Northern Whig) that the outrageous conduct of the police on Friday night will be brought before the Town Council The pre tence that that body does not form • proper tribunal is ab surd. The police are under their control and management. The Town Council are bound to see that the force intended for the public protection shall not be univerted into R danger more serious than any from which it protects them. It is obvious that the identification by particular sufferers of the particular members of the police force by whom they may have been assaulted is out of the question. It would he as easy for • wounded soldier in battle to identify the enemy who struck him down. But though individual assaults cannot easily be brought home to the particular assailants, and remedy by action at law is therefore impos sible, the police collectively are responsible for the outrages for the commission of which they organised themselves on Friday night last. In the discharge of their duty we agree with Mr. Tracy the police should he protected. There are circumstances of excitement and severe trial in which excess may sometimes be plausibly pelliated. But no words can sufficiently condemn, scarcely any punish ment would be too maven for, the wanton and cowardly smelts of Friday evening. Innocent and guilty—the guilty offending only in a demonstration more foolish than really criminal—were beaten down with an iodiscriininate savagery which emulated on a small scale the achieve meets of a French coup (rite, or • Warsaw massacre. Indeed the innocent seem chiefly to have Believed. It is remarkable that not one of the persons wounded by the police on Friday was arrested—a very significant proof that they hail in no way offended. We stated yea. terda7 that among those assaulted was Constable Bunting, who, being in plain clothes, was not re cognised by the police. No one will inspect him of having been engaged in illegal proceedings. Another case as remarkable has been mentioned to 121.. A reverend gen tleman, • minister of the Covenanting body, was severely beaten in Bridge4treet, and had a piece knocked out of one of his ears by • blow. We do not apprehend that his assailants will say Chet he was riotously conducting himself. Mr. Tracy has spoken with just severity of the brutality of Belies' mobs. He appears to forget that • brutal police helps in no slight degree to make a brutal mob. Such pro ceedings as those of Friday night lead as to think that " order and good government in Belfast will never be attained until the municipal police tome is thoroughly weeded—it may be disbanded, and the police service of the borough reorganised on some better principle.

The following is the proclamation of the Governor of New Zealand, referred to in the Australian intel ligence which we published yesterday TDOILtD GOLD BROWFE, Governor. In ceder to avoid misapprehension, the Governor directs the attention of the chiefs and people, assembled at Kgarne walla, to the present condition of affairs iu New Zealand, and states distinctly the course necessary to be taken in order to avert the calamities that threaten the country. In the year 1858, a portion of the Maori people+, resident in Wakaito, pretended t o set up • Maori king, and Potatau was chosen for the office. He was installed at Itangiawhia in the month of June in that year. On Potatau's death, in 1860, kLatutaera, his son, was nominated his auccessor. Diversity of opinion existed from the commencement as to what would result from this movement. home were led to believe that its supporters desired only the establishment of order, and a governing authority among themselves ; while others viewed with apprehension a con federacy which they deemed fraught with danger to the peace of the colony. The Governor at first inclined towards the more favourable view of the movement, but aeon felt misgivings, which have been justified by the event. The Governor, however, has not interfered to put down the Maori King by force. He has been unwilling to relin quish the hope that the Maoris themselves, seeing the danger of the course they were pursuing, and that the in stitution of an independent authority must prove inefficient fur all purposes of good, would of their own accord abandon their attempts. The Governor can now only look with sorrow and dia. pleasure on what has been done in the name, and by the adherents of the native King : 1. An authority has been set up inconsistent with alle giance to the Queen, and in violation of the treaty of Waitangi. 2. A large number of the adherents of the native King have interfered between the Governor and other =Mee tribes in natters with which they had no concern ; have levied war against the Queen, fought against her troops, and burned and destroyed the property of her peace ful subjects. 3. Other adherents of the King have assisted, encouraged, and harboured the men •ho have comm i tt e d somethese outra ges.tun since . A . w e a n r ibi p . r a of nd several hundred wi m thi e n n forty miles of Auckland, for the purpose of inter fering with the due course of the administration of justice. 5. Her Majesty's mail has been stopped ; juris diction has been usurped over her Majesty's European sub jects ; and other offences have been committed to the sub version of her Majesty's sovereignty, and of the authority of the law. At this very time the adherents of the native King are using the meat strenuous efforts to possess themselves of arms and ammunition for the purpose of effecting their objects by intimidation andllviolence. The Governor cannot permit the present state of things to continue. No option now rests with him; he has been commanded by her Majesty the Queeu to suppress unlawful combinations, and to establish beyond a question her Majesty's sovereignty in New Zealand. Submission to her Majesty's sovereignty requires -1. That every man yield implicit obedience to what the law, which is the same for all, prescribes for the public welfare. But while the law exacts what is essential for thin object, it confers great benefits and guarantees freedom and security to the weak as well as to the strong. 2. That rights be sought and protected through the law, and not by a man's own will sad strength. No man iu the Queen's dominion' is permitted to enforce rights, or redress wrongs, by force ; he must appeal to the law. 3. That men do not enter into combinations for the purpose of preventing other men from acting, or from dealing with their own property, as they think fit. This is against the law. 4. That every man, European or native, under the Queen's sovereignty submit to have roads and bridges made on his land, wherever the public convenience requires them. But land can only betaken for these purposes under lawful authority, and on payment of a reasonable compensation. On the other hand, her Majesty's sovereignty secures "to the chiefs and tribes of New Zealand, and to the respective families and individuals thereof, the full, exclusive, and undisturbed possession of their lands and estate" forests, fisheries, and other properties, which they may collectively or individually possess, so long as it is their wish and desire to retain the same in their possession." This is the Maoris' safeguard for their lands, and it has never been violated. The Governor has been falsely accused of desiring to intro duce a new system in dealing with native lands. This he has never attempted, nor has he the power to do so. The Queen's promise in the treaty of Waitaugi cannot be set aside by the Governor. By that treaty, the Queen's name has be oorne a protecting shade for the Maoris' land, and will remain such, so long as the Maoris yield allegiance to her Majesty sod live antler her sovereignty, but no longer. Whenever the Maoris forfeit this protection by setting aside the authority of the Queen and the law, the land will remain their own so lcng only as they are strong enough to keep it; —might and not right will become their sole title to pos session. The Governor sincerely hopes that a correct appleclation of the real interests of the Maori race will induce the ad herents of the native King to omform to her Majesty's declared wishes, and to abandon the baneful and dangerous course they are pursuing. Her Majesty has an earnest solicitude for the welfare of her native people, and it will be the duty of the Governor to give the fullest effect to measures calculated to secure that end. The Maoris cannot be more anxious than the Queen and her Governor forsthe complete establishment of law and order amongst the Maori people, and that the institu tions of the government should be, u far as practicable. in accordance with their interests and wishes ; but the Maori must not forget that these objects are unattainable without their own cordial co-operation. The Governor last year convened a meeting of chiefs to commit with him upon na tive affairs, and has declared his intention again to assemble chiefs from all parts of these islands for the same purpose. Her Majesty has been pleased to approve of these pro ceedings. It is the Governor's wish that the coming conference should devise measures for the introduction of lawand order, and the establishment of useful institutions in native dis tricts, and it will be his earnest desire to give effect to ■ny measures approved by the conference which appear likely to promote the welfare of the native people and to bring all her Majesty's subjects in these islands, both European and Maori, under one law, upon terms of equality. The Governor earnestly bopem that the chiefs and people who are adherents of the Maori King will abandon their present perilous position ; they will thou receive the same invitation as the other natives of New Zealand to choose some of their most respected and influential chiefs to re present them in the approaching coufeieuce, and to afford assistance in its deliberations. The Governor now states specifically what his demands are :-1. From all, submission without reserve to the (teen's sovereignty and the authority of the law. 2. From those who are in possession of plunder, taken from her Majesty's European or native subjects—restoration of that plunder. 3. From those who have destroyed of made **ay with property belonging to her Majesty's subjects, Eu. repeals or native—compensation for the lenses sustained. Compliance with these demands will satisfy the Queen and har Governor ; no other demand will be made on Waikato, the past will be forgiven, and for the future the well onducted will be protected, otlenders punished, and the rights and privileges of all maintained by the Queen and her laws. THE MOORS. (poem the &Osman.) PERTHSHIRE.—The 12th opened with heavy rain throughout the districts of Kinloch-Raunocb, Strathtay, Weem, and Athole. The rain indeed poured in torrent& till about midday, and the mid on the hiha was so great that object's at about forty yards distance could nat be seen. At Kinloch-Rannoch, Mr. Phinn and Mr. Cartwright took • walk in the afternoon, and in an hour killed 15j brace. Another party of gentlemen, with four guns, same after noon, brought down 85i brace. Mr. Joymao, at Castle- Menzies, shot 25j brace. General Cunningham, Cluny House, Strathtay, killed 17 beam Mr. Peaboy and party, at Dalguise, bad 120 brace of birds in splendid con dition. Mr. Maxtone, of Coltoquhey, bagged 25 brace. Tuesday was fair, and excellent sport was obtained on the hills in the districts already named. Yesterday morning the coach from Aberfeldy brought 20 boxes of game to the Birnam Station. All accounts agree as to the birds being plentiful and in • healthy state, though rather wild. The carriers to Perth from the Highlands yesterday brought very few grouse, which are selling at be. Od. to fie. W. • brace. STIRLOWSEII6.I.—From the unfavourable weather on the morning of the 12th the returns from the shooting grounds are not very numerous. We learn, however, that on Locker/ shootings Mr. Middleton killed a) brace on the 12th ; and Mr. Hope Vent, of Ledard, killed 15 brace. Mr. Moir, of Leckie, fired a few trial shots with his breech-loaders on his shootings at Leckie, on Mon day afternoon, and bagged seven birds. Mr. John Watt killed, on the Cringeogelt estate, 15 brace on the 12th. Mr. John Macfarlane, on the Gleny's Moor, bagged 7 brace. The general report is that the birds are very wild and strong on the wing. Among the gentlemen who have arrived at their respective ahooting.grounds are—Kr. Erskine, at Cadres& ; Captain Hamilton, R.N. and Mr. Stirling, at Gargunnock House ; Mr. Walker a n d party at Tonchedam Moon. Major Moir and Mr. G. H. Thummood prooeeded toArdoch House on Tuesday mood" • and Mr. Jardhse, of Leedrish Castle, and party have caved at the Leny shootings, near Callender. The Right Hon. Lord Abeicromby is expected to enjoy good sport at Sheriff Muir. AUCHTERAMDIER—Sportsmen are now enjoying good sport on the moors in the neighbourhood. Tuesday was a fine day, and sportsmen were out on the hills early in the morning. Many of the moors are not yet opened, in con sequence of the sportsmen not having arrived, but we expect that the whole will be opened during the week. The birds on Tuesday were not so wild as on the previous day, but it required excellent shooting to make up a good bag, as the birds wore rendered wild by the wet and stormy weather previously. On the moors of Gleneagles, the Earl of Oamperdown and party were out, and had a good tur c urort. They killed a large number of birds. The y party . were out for a few house, and made a prett good bag, having killed Ifli brace. Hama are pleutifu and In good condition. The Coed party were out, and killed 10 brace, the grouse being healthy and numerous. A good number of sportsmen were out on the other moors, and a very large number of birds were killed. On Tuesday, 200 brace of grouse were despatched from theCrieff junction to the London markets. A --The shooting season opened on Mon. day, but owing to the drenching rain, which wu general over the north, and continued from Sunday afternoon up to midday on Monday, few sportsmen ventured nut till the day was well advanced. In the afternoon, however, the weather cleared up, allowing sportsmen a few hours' work ; but the rain setting in again yesterday, and probably from the smallness of the game•baga, very few details have been sent us of the sport enjoyed. The early broods of grouse are represented as strong, and wilder than they have been seen for many years, owing to the wet and boisterous weather which has prevailed. On Mr. Robertson's (Royal Hotel) shooting at Boginclough, Messrs. Smith and Hargreaves did not go out till three o'clock, when, in four hours, they bagged 44 braes to the two guns. At Clashnadarroch, s[r. Banbury sad party, shooting three home in the afternoon, brought down 32 brace. Mr. J. C. Barclay and parry, at the Forest of Birse, did not go out, and killed a few brace on the north aide of the water. On Monday, after 12 o'clock, Mr. Nicholson and a friend, on the Glenbirrvie ehootings, bagged 42 brace.—.46erdern Jounial.

The works referred to are very nearly Beished. The important advantages they will effect are : i To reduce considerably the walking distance between the ' company's trains and Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew • to give this company a pameeser station near Kew-bridge fronting the main road ; to diminish the mileage mad im prove the route to Richmond, Twickenham, and to afford better means for an interchange of passenger traffic generally with the South-Western Railway.

CAPTURE OF WIIALEa. The Orkney B, saws :—" From the late untrequeocy of the visits of the bottle-nosed wanderers from the polar regions, it might per haps have been inferred that they had bottled up the recol lection of the sad fate of such of their race us bud previously visited our shores, and had finally 'turned tail' upou us, if they bad not indeed resolved to abide Lencoforth within the comparatively safe precincts of their own icy bemes. Not so, however, for on the morning of Wednesday Let the inhabitants of tiourin, in the Island of Roomy, observed another largearrival moving about in the auchorageof Holm, awl not more than 300 yards from shore. Crowds of men, wo men, and children were forthwith collected, while several boats pat off to intereept the retreat of the whales seaward. The huge animals allowed themselves to be quietly driven towards the shore by the men in the boats, and in a short time they were stranded, the boats still keeping close together to prevent their escape. Immeeli- Moly the men, with sharp instruments, rushed on them, and in a short space the whole of them, to the number of nearly sixty, were captured. Some of the fish measured about eighteen feet long and sixteen feet in circumference. On Friday the whole were sold, and realised the sum of nearly 2401., the principal purchasers being Mr. Cnigie, Holland, noway, and Mr. Malcolm Green, Kirkwall, in company with some others. In the comparative failure of the herring fishing, we congratulate our Ronal friends ou this • we should rather say ocean gift."
