T. T. PEARS, Major-General, Militgry Secretary. An unexampled budget of horrors comes in the shape of intelligence from the Pacific. The telegram from New Zealand announcing that fifty European families have been massacred chews how formidable the rising of the Maories has become, and how complete is the disorganisa tion of the colonial forces. The miserably small and ill equipped body of police which was raised as a substitute for the British regiments has been defeated and demoralised, and the country is left practically defenceless. The Maories have reoccupied many miles of colonial territory, have burned the homesteads and driven off the cattle of the settlers, and, emboldened by success,'have at:length perpe trated a wholesale massacre. There can be no doubt as to whom the responsibility of these events must be attri buted. It is not the incapacity of Colonel M`Donnell, or any other officer, but the negligence of the Colonial Government, that has brought about these disasters. The authorities entered upon a policy of aggres sion without any means of upholding it. They con. fiscated, says the Times, native territories in the plenitude of military superiority which the pres nee of ten British regiments gave them, and then they dismissed the troops which had inspired them with confidence to exact such a penalty from the rebel tribes. They proposed to raise a force of 1,500 men, but in reality the number never ex ceeded 300. The rising will ultimately be put down ; the English so greatly outnumber the natives that a little organisation must speedily ensure the defeat of the Maoris. But this is poor satisfaction for the disasters which have already been suffered, but which might have been avoided. A letter from the Times correspondent says that Colonel. Whitmore has taken the chief command, and is vigorously reducing the demoralisation of the colonial troops. But this has to be effected by disbanding a considerable num ber, and filling up their places with raw recruits, who can be more readily disciplined ; and whilst this is being done the natives appear to have carte blanche. The general rising which was feared had not taken place at the date of this letter, but the Maori chief had been greatly reinforced. The natives divide themselves into several bodies, make raids wherever they please, burn houses, destroy crops, and carry off stock. They can be met only by a force which is trained to similar tactics, and this requires time. Th.a-Alenists have little confidence in the Government. Their beet course would be to organise themselves in small bodies, and put an end to the war by force of numbers. This, we are told, they are doing in some measure. The leaders of the Maorics nave tone everything to excite a general rising, though happily without the success which was expected. They have even, says the Wellington Evening Post, forwarded to the inland tribes some potted meat made of the flesh of the soldiers who fell in the recent encounter. The object of this horrible and scarcely intelligible practice is to inflame the ferocity of the interior natives. The treacherous massacre of five French soldiers in New Caledonia completes the dismal intelligence from the Pacific The Times New Zealand correspondent notes that there has been much discussion lately, both in general and local synods, on the subject of Christian union, many of the clergy desiring to break down the exclusive barriers between themselves and the ministers of other denomina tions, which are so marked in the old country. Uniformity amongst the sections of the Protestant Church is not hoped for, but co-operation in all that pertains to their common work is both desirable and possible. Whilst the Synod was sitting at Auckland, a soirde in honour of a Wesleyan Church anniversary was attended by several dignitaries of the Church of England, including two colo nial bishops, an archdeacon, and a dean, who all addressed the meeting. SPAIN. The news from Spain is much more satisfactory. Ina assurance from official sources that the interest both on the External and Internal Debt will be paid, proves that however great may be the financial difficulties of Sefior Figuerola, he has triumphed in part over the legacy of embarrassment left him by Isabella. It is further stated that the leaders of the two great parties, the Monarchists and the Republicans, have agreed to seek the success of their policy, as is their right, without disturbing the peace of the country or interfering with the equitable decision of the elections. They have likewise determined to unite against any attempt of the reactionary party. _ZSTRIA A monument to the memory of the ill-fated Maximilian is to be erected at Trieste.

Chamber, the new Foreign Minister made a declaration . of some importance at the present time. He announced that the entire neutrality which was guaranteed and imposed by ti.:e Treaty of Paris would be part of the pro gramme of the new Ministry. "To live in peace with our neighbours, to direct our attention solely to home im provements, to reform our finances and our system of popular education, is the best poli c y f or R ouman i a, both at present and in 'the future." The Minister added that Roumania would maintain its army for defensive purposes, but it would not permit its territory to be employed for the organisation of bands with the view of attacking the Ottoman possessions. This is satisfactory, so far as pro mises go. It is much to be regretted that the Greek states men have not beer.. similarly enlightened as to the true policy of their country THE ritosrucis OF HUNGARY'. and not likely to come into collision with the authorities at Vienna. The Royal Speech has been well received at Pesti], and also in the chief towns, where the irritation so long felt 'at the policy of the Court seems to have died away, and to have been succeeded by more genial and gracious sentiments. The Emperor has, in point of fact, been making his way slowly but surely for some years pas, and of late his progress has become more rapid in conse quence of the significant character of public events. There is little likelihood of the policy of Hungary assuming &form which will materially concern foreigners. So much has already been done in the consolidation of liberty and the concessions in favour of self-government, that little more can be expected in the way of important reforms. If the Magyars can be induCed to coalesce with the other ' Aces, all fears that want of unity will exist may be Ethan- cloned. Austria has a hopeful future before her, and we can scarcely believe that she will desire to exchange the advantageous position she now holds for the chances of war. A peaceful policy will be by far the wisest one for the Empire, and will afford the best security for the pro-. gress of the people. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—Last Evemng.

W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam Factory, 55 and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By its aid persons residing in nny part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly recomnacci it to the notice of the inteudiug 1:414'04w A recent letter from the Times corresponden i at Pesth is well calculated to afford satisfaction to all who take au interest in the affairs of Hungary. To peruse the details of the Christmas merrymakings is a refreshing change from dwelling upon the sad chronicles of the disasters that have until lately befallen Hungary. The time has hap pily gone by when all who discussed the state of that country were intent on the gravest thoughts, and divided their attention between the faults of the rulers and the misfortunes of the people. It is no exaggeration to say that the evil days of Hungary have passed away, for we have sure evidence that the people are now satisfied and well inclined to put confidence in the Em peror. If not perfectly satisfied with the particular details of their Government, they feel convinced that its general principles are sound and will assure to them independence of action in the time of trouble. In the present posture of affairs it is important to notice the great increase that has taken place in the number of voters. In consequence of this great interest is felt in the elections now at hand, and even the holiday season is entrenched upon to do justice to the political movement. The probable result of the affair will be to send forth a body of representatives who are temperate in their policy a- ..sd. It
