Mr. GLADSTONE went directly to the point yester day evening when moving—on the Order of the Day in regard to the Irish Church Bill—that the House of Commons should proceed to consider the Lords' Amendments. Within the compass of a very few sentences—some twelve or fourteen altogether—he explained very clearly to the House the course pro-. posed to be taken in this matter by Vie Government. Without running seriatim through the whole for midable list of the amendments introduced into the measure during its recent passage through the House or Lords, the right lion. gentleman contented himself with referring to what may b.! called the salient Amend - melts. These were eleven in number. In reg trd to the Amendment on the preamble, and therefore, of course, the first and foremost of all the Amendments, the Premier said, " I shall move to dis rgree from that amendment." Not satisfied with which suffi, - .;:ently plain intimation, ho wever, he added immediately, what might have been readily enough inferred, that he should propose " to replace it by the original worth" for which those of the amendment had been tubstituted. Equally distinct and emphatic was his comment in regard to the second amendment—" I shall move to replace the date adopted by this House." With re ference to the third amendment, that relating to the THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1869. curates, while he said, " I shall move to disagree from that amendment as it stands"—he added immediately by way of explanation of the three words we have italicised—" but shall propose a substitute which will be a modification of the plan as it went from this House." The first faint indication, that, of anything like a concession, even the most moderate concession, on Mr. GLADSTONE'S part to his antagonists ! Referring to the fourth amendment, that having regard to the Tax on the Clerical Income to be handed over to the Church Body, the Premier said curtly, "I shall move that it be not agreed to." Coming to the fifth amend ment, which provides, in the twentieth clause, for the protection of annuitants—a subject which, as Mr. GLADSTONE reminded the House, had not, as yet, been disposed of in the House of Commons, and might, therefore, as he obviously implied by that reminder, be reconsidered in that House without im propriety—the Prime Minister said, almost graciously, " I shall move that that should be agreed to"—add ing, however, grimly—" with amendments." Speci fying next the sixth Amendment, having reference to the Fourteen Years or Commutation Clause, he said, " 1 shall move to disagree from that clause, but —I shall propose, by way of amendment, an addi tion to the clause as it stood in this House." As to the seventh of the Lords' Amend ments, that relating to the glebe and house, the right hon. gentleman remarked, point-blank, " I shall move to disagree from that amendment." Simi larly in regard to the eighth amendment, that relating to what are termed the Ulster Glebes, but what are more properly described as the Royal Grants, he uttered the same trenchant sentence—" I shall move to disagree from that amendment." Yet more tersely—dropping to a pronoun—he said, in reference to the ninth amendment, the one relating to the deduction of the poor-rate from the price of the tithe-rent charge,—" I shall move to disagree from that." As to the tenth amendment, relating to the residuary property, Mr. GLADSTONE observed, "I shall move an amendment consequential on the amendment in the preamble, and shall propose to insert words to provide against the loss by Parliament of the control of the surplus in the interval which might elapse before further legislation." Supplemental to these point-blank an nouncements, in regard to as many salient amendments introduced into the Irish Church Bill by the Conser vative Opposition in the Lords, came, crushingly, an eleventh upon an eleventh, thus —" I shall also move to strike out the Lords' amendment aiming at con current endowment." And with that Mr. GLAD STONE ceased, amid the cheering of his Ministerial supporters. The Ministerial programme was, in effect, plainly put and readily comprehensible. The intention, or rather the determination, of the Go vernment, there was no mistaking. And the resolu tion of the House was in keeping with that of the Ministry. Upon the very first division taken, Minis ters obtained a larger majority than any yet secured to them-222 voting for and 316 against the Lords' amendment on the preamble—thereby secur ing a net majority of 124 to her MAJESTY'S Govern ment I Three other divisions were taken later on, as the night advanced, the Ministerial majorities in these being successively 82, 96, and 89, but the first mentioned majority, that of 124, is memorable as the largest yet obtained among all the numerous and signal triumphs won by the present Administration. So far as relates to the manner in which the House of Com mons will deal with the Lords' Amendments, the re sult is already known, clearly enough, beforehand. The question now will be, how will the House of Lords act hereupon, when they find their carefully considered and elaborately adjustel Amend ments swept aside, one after another, by overwhelming majorities in the House of Com mom. About the resolve of the Government, there can no longer be two opinions. Ministers announce quite plainly the course they are determined to pur- ' au., and, to ensure their triumphal advance along that course, they have at their back an overwhelming majority in the House of Commons, and outside that House in the great mass of the constituencies. It must be tolerably apparent, therefore, which way an unequal contest, such as that must, in the natural course of things, terminate. THE 12th of July will rightly be esteemed a memorable date in the history of France. On Monday the struggle so long unsuccessfully waged on behalf of the liberties of the French people ter minated by a decisive change in the Imperial sys tem of government. On the 20th and 21st of December, 18:51, the nation—at a time . of excitement and under the influence of military law—gave its sanction to a despotic Constitution, and submitted itself by a large majority of votes to autocratic rule. It has taken nearly eighteen years to revoke that rash decision, but it has been revoked at last. The scheme of reform announced in the EMPEROR'S message may fairly be taken as representing a tran sition from despotic to constitutional rule. Consider ing that this is essentially the age of parliamentary government, that autocratic rule has vanishel or is vanishing from every civilised State, and that France was the first to set the example in an attempt to overturn the old system, the concessions just secured by the Moderate French Liberals may appear trivial ; but compared with the system which they are about to supersede, they are liberal indeed. The Constitution which was voted in December 1851 vested the entire power of government in the EMPEROR. He is irresponsible ; he appoints and discharges his Ministers without reference to the will of the country ; no change in the law can be proposed except through him ; the Legislature has no control over the making of war or peace ; and all honours and dignities in the State are conferred by the EMPEROR alone. The principle of universal suffrage was sanctioned by this constitution, and a Legislature was established ; but the suffrages of the people had no real vitality, and the deputies whom they elected had no power. It has been the practice of the Imperial Government so to interfere in the elections that the return of anything in the shape of an Opposition was, until this year, out of the question. And when the Imperial nominees got to the Legisla tive Chamber they found themselves without any real part in the business of the country. They could not interfere with a tax or a commercial treaty. The Budget was, indeed, submitted to them, but in such a way that they had no control over its provisions. They could not bring forward any law, nor discuss the Constitution. They could not even put a question until it had been submitted to a series of committees, by which all troublesome queries were surely weeded out. It may appear astonishing that in an age when the representation of the people is the accepted principle of government, such a system should have weathered so many years. But, in fact, seeing that the Press was not free until 1868, and that only a score of Liberals could find their way to the French Parlia ment until 1869, the wonder is that a change should have come so soon. To the freedom of the Press, lately granted with many restrictions, the sudden change in the aspect of affairs is chiefly owing. The discontent, which had been deep, but not loud, became both loud and deep ; the Opposition aug mented in numbers from 23 to about 160, and immediately on the assembling of the Corps L6gislatif this year it became evident that even the Imperialist deputies were animated by a liberal spirit which had never been known before. Beyond doubt the Government of the EMPEROR was admirable in many respects, but it has been characterised like all other Govern ments by many mistakes, and the French people were not disposed to forgive errors, arising from a system over which they had no control. A number of Moderate Liberals and Imperialists united a few days ago, and drew up a request that Ministers be made responsible to the Corps Le"gislatif, and it is in answar to this demand that the EMPEROR announces these reforms. The terms of the EMPEROR'S message are not quite explicit ; and, moreover, as the details of all constitutional changes must be arranged by the Senate, it yet remains to be seen what shape these reforms will ultimately take. The most important is the most ambiguous. The EMPEROR was asked for Ministerial responsibility, and in reply he concedes that Ministers may become members of the Legislative Body, which has hitherto been for bidden. But it is yet doubtful whether it is intended that all Ministers must become deputies, or whether a seat in the Corps L6gislatif is only optional. If the former be the case, the responsibility of Ministers must be real. It would be impossible for them to work effectively whilst subj ect to the adverse decisions of a Legislature the confidence of which they did not command. But if it is only intended that the great State functionaries may if they choose seek the suffrages of the people, so much good cannot be hoped. Still the change must in either case be beneficial; for if the principle is once laid down that Ministers may be members of the popular assembly, the increasing weight of public opinion will gradually cause the rule to be universally respected. It is evident, however, that the EMPEROR does not intend to part with his power of choosing or dismissing his officers, and therefore that the full responsibility demanded by the Liberal coalition will not be granted. The other reforms admit of no ambiguity, and are highly valuable. The deputies will, as before, have no power to alter the laws, but the mode of presenting amendments will be simplified. Hitherto the depu ties not only could not suggest a change in the law, but they had very little power of modifying the measures of the Government. The right of interroga tion will be extended ; that is, a representative will have the power of putting a question without its first being decided by a majority of Imperialists, whether the question is proper or not. The Budget, which has hitherto been submitted in several distinct portions so that it was impossible to adequately criticise the whole, will now be so put—we are not told exactly how—so that Parliament will exercise an effective control over its provisions. The Legislature will likewise be consulted respecting commercial treaties—until now concluded by the Ministry only—so that the supervision of the country in respect of finance will be much more complete. It would be unjust not to concede full credit to the promptitude and grace with which this change has been made. It does not meet all the wishes of the famous Cent-seize—the 116 who agreed to demand Ministerial responsibility—but that the changes are great and liberal a comparison of the two systems is sufficient to shew. The Coalition has accepted them, and has decided almost unanimously that, in face of such concessions, there is no need to press its own request. The " interpellation," of which we have heard so much, is given up. The EMPEROR, on his side, has not hesitated to consummate these reforms by that indispensable supple ment—a change of Ministry. For it may safely be affirmed that no changes which were not accompanied by the removal of M. ROUHER, the most unpopular, as well as the ablest, of French statesmen, would be acceptable to the country. M. RoUIIER and his colleagues have, therefore, resigned, and their places will shortly be filled by a Ministry formed from the new party, to whom this peaceful revolution is due. The Empire will then make a fresh start in life, as a constitutional regime—of a very modified character it is true, but still allowing the people a powerful voice in the administration of the country, whereas they have hitherto had none whatever. The result of the experiment must be left to time to decide. Its most immediate consequences can hardly fail to be a fresh guarantee for the preservation of peace, a loss of influence on the part of the ex treme Radicals, and an increase of stability to the EMPEROR'S dynasty. It must not be forgotten that true constitutional government is being tried for the first time, and that no prediction of its failure can be drawn from past events. There is nothing in the history of the French people to shew that the system of rule now general in Europe should not also be applicable to France. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.— Rachel Harley, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting burglariously to enter the house of Mrs. Sophia Wills, conehouse keeper, 22, Ryder-street, St. Jamos's. Mrs. Wills said that hearing a noise at the street door about three o'clock in the morning she got out of bed, and went to the street door and found it open although on the chain. She took the chain off and looked out, and saw a man and woman going in different directions. She c tiled for assistance, and a gentleman lodging in the house went for the police while she kept her eye on the prisoner, who came back to the corner of the street. The prisoner ;was then given into custody, she denying that she had attempted to enter the house. The prisoner said she was perfectly innocent of the charge, and it was not likely that, if she had been guilty of such a thing, sho would have come back to the corner of the street and loitered about. Mr. George Baker, residing iu the house of Mrs. Wills, said that the house having been entered and robbed on a former occasion they were on the alert, and hearing Mrs. Wills call out ha went down, and Mrs. Wills told him that if ho would go for a constable ehe would keep her eye on the woman. 3.1 r. Knox said it seemed very improbable if the prisoner had attempted,to enter the house that she should have gone back, but Mrs. Wills had sworn positively to the prisoner, and she would therefore be remanded. PROCEEDINGS AGA INST THE REV. MR. TURCHAS, OF BRIGHTON. In the Court of Arches, on Thursday, before the Right Hon. Sir R. Phillimore, an application was made, on the part of Colonel Elphinstone, who had promoted the office of the Judge, that the letters of request signed by the Bishop of Chichester should be accepted by the Dean of Arches under the Church Discipline Act, in order that certain offences against the laws ecclesiastical alleged to have been committed by the Rev. John Purchas, the perpetual curate of St. James's, Brighton, might be heard and determined. Sir R. Phillimore observed that he, of course, should receive the present letters of request after the decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, their lord ships having held that he had no option in the matter. The citation would issue against Mr. Purchase, on the usual bond being given as to costs. It would not be pos sible to hear the case beforo the vacation. Certain notices were to be given, and the best course would be that the case should come on for hearing some time before next term. A GENERAL IN THE DIVORCE COURT. The case of " Sykes v. Sykes and Smith" was heard on Wednesday in the Divorce Court-- a husband's petition for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with Major General Michael William Smith. The case, as stated for the petitioner, set forth that he married the respondent in December 1856, at Marylebone, and in 1864 they went to India. The peti tioner was there appointed aide-de-camp to the co• respondent, General Smith, was a married man, and the petitioner and respondent resided in his house. In the summer of 1867 the petitioner came to England for the benefit of his health, and the co-respon dent appeared to have come to England at the same time. Some time after their arrival the petitioner was removed to his father's lodgings in consequence of ill health ; but owing to insufficieney of room in the house the respondent did not accompany him. There seemed subsequently to have been some altercation about the respondent's conduct with General Smith, and the petitioner wrote a letter to the General, returning a bracelet that he had given to Mrs. Sykes. In the autumn of 1867 the co-respondent took apartments at Bayswater under the name of "Jones," and stated that he expected his wife, "Mrs. Jones," It was alleged by the petitioner that the respondent assumed that character, and in December of the same year the co-respondent took rooms in Northumberland-street. The defence was that the petitioner was also guilty of adultery, and a private detective detailed how he had watched the petitioner and followed him into a house with a Mr. Pearce. But the case set up by the co-respon dent was not convincing, and the jury found for the peti- tioner on all the issues, and against the respondent as far as regards Captain Sykes's adultery. CRIMINAL LUNATICS. __._.e.._ _ _... The acquittal of criminal lunatics on account of sup posed insanity causes persons to be confined in lunatic asylums who are no lunatics, unless that term is to include persons who yield to their passions, instead of governing them. 'phis year's report on Irish lunatic asylums states that three men escaped from the Central Lunatic Asylum in 1863, all of them believed to be sane. One of them, named Langfrey, the leader of the party, a man tried for an assault upon a woman, is described as a clever man, who has been in the British army, the French army, and in the French navy, and in British, German, and Russian prisons. He has a fair grammatical knowledge of French, and knows something of German. He is completely self-taught. He is a good shoemaker, tailor, and weaver. His age, not withstanding such varied experience, is but 27. While in the Irish asylum he made from a scrap of iron a key by which he could open the door of his division. He put to gether a wooden sewing machine of his own contrivance, with which he made clothes for himself, and his mind seemed so intent on improving this machine, that there was little apprehension of his attempting to escape. H• and his two companions were the first to leave the supper room, the attendant holding the door open for them. They went upstairs directly, and got through a window, the fastenings of which they had previously loosened; the night being dark, they could not be captured, though missed at once. It is assumed that insane people have very little power of combining together to carry any design into effect ; but this escape was the result of a plan cleverly laid by the three. One of his companions was confined for killing his child, but he always maintained that as he was drunk at the time he ought not to be punished. The other was an American Irishman, who was certainly once insane, but for many months had strewn no symptoms of a perverted mind ; his offence was a very violent assault on a police man. Langfrey's mental failing seemed to be fickleness of purpose. Three men who at the last Leeds Assizes were sentenced to four mouths' imprisonmant for picketting in connection with the building strike, and who have already served half their time, are recommended for release by Mr. Justice Luz h, who trio 1 them. Several bakers were summoned before the Liver pool magistrates on Wednesday for having, in contravention of the Bakehouses Regulation A ct, employed youths under 18 years of age in bakehouses between the hours of nine in the yelling and five in the morning. In a few cases the de fendants were dismissed with a caution; in the others a small penalty was inflicted. The South Yorkshire strikes seem no nearer their cud. At a meeting of the trades' unions of Leeds, onWeclnes day, resolutions of sympathy with the miners of South York ..s.httein their present struggle, and pledging the unions to aid the men on strike by every means in their power, were unanimously adopted. The miners on strike at the Tinsley Pa k Colliery held a meeting at Attercliffe. Mr. Norman tell stated that the unionists were as determined as ever to continue the struggle until their object was gained. A RUFFIAN VOLUNTEER.—The other day, dur ing an inspection, amember of the Cardiff Rifle Volunteer Corps, while firing blank cartridge, levelled his rifle at an artilleryman, and shot him in the mouth. The artillery. man had three of his teeth knocked out, and his lips burned. The author of the mischief was placed under arrest, and his rifle and blank cartridges taken from him. Sir E. Campbell said he could not find words to express the indignation he felt at such conduct. A court of in quiry would be held, and probably the offender would be dismissed from the corps. MURDER. AND SUICIDE.—As a Waterman was strolling on the beach at Brighton, early on Thursday morning, his attention was attracted to a dark object on the water's edge. On closer observation he found that it was the body of a young woman, and attached to it the body of an infant. A cord was tied round the child's neck, and, passing under the woman's clothes, was fastened -ound her waist. Both were quite dead, and appeared to have been in the water about two hours. Inquiries were set on foot, and it was found that the deceased was Mary Payne, the wife of a man who gains his livelihood as an occasional waiter and in other capacities. The husband is said to be a man of intemperate habits, and the mother and child have of late suffered great distress. Deceased left her home ou the preceding day, and nothing had been heard of her until the finding of the body. MRS. PARTINGTON AND TIER MOP.—This " labour in vain " will be found in the Rev. Sidney Smith's speech at Taunton on the Lords' rejection of the Reform Bill, October 1831, in the following passage : " The attempt of the Lords to stop the progress of Reform reminds me very forcibly of the great storm off Sidmoutb, rnd of the conduct of the excellent Mrs. Partington on that occasion. In the winter of 1824 there set in a great flood upon that town ; the tide rose to an incredible height, the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea-water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused ; Mrs. Partington's spirit was up ; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle ; but she should not have meddled with a tempest."

A DISGRACEFUL NUISANCE.—Thos. Williams, a water man, aged 23 years, and James Robinson, a waterman, 68 years, were brought before Mr. Benson with keeping a disorderly house, at No. 10, Mill-yard, Whitechapel, near Rosemary-lane. Mr. Mitchell, vestry clerk of the parish, appeared for the prosecution, and explained that the object of bringing the prisoners before the magistrate was to compel them to put in sureties to answer an indictment at the sessions. The brothel kept by the prisoners was immediately oppo site the chapel and residence of the Rev. W. U. Black, a minister of the Particular Baptists, to whom its existence was a great annoyance and an expense. Mr. Black and a police-constable were called and proved the bad character of the house. The prisoners said that since they had received a notice from Mr. Mitchell they had discontinued the criminal cha racter of the house. George Brown, No. 24 H R, said that on Sunday after noon, while Divine service was going on, a soldier and a prostitute entered the defendant's house for an immoral purpose. Mr. Paget had no doubt of the character of the house, and said it must be suppressed. Respectable men, includ ing the churchwardens and overseers, having entered recognizauces to prosecute the defendant 3. He ordered the defendants to enter into sureties to appear at the Sessions to answer the charge of keeping a disorderly house. Mr. Light, a town carman and the landlord of the house, tendered himself as bail, and was accepted. The Royal Horse Guards, under the command of Lieut.-Col. D. J. Baillie, consisting of 20 officers, 230 men, and 271 horses, arrived at Aldershot Camp yesterday from Windsor. The regiment is quartered in E and I' lines, North Camp, and will remain at the station for a month, when it will be relieved by the Ist Life Guards. rADVERTISEMENT.]—IIoIIoway's Pills.—Excellent Pills. —The resources of medicine and chemistry were long and fruitlessly tried before they yielded a remedy which could overcome disonlers of tho stomach and nerves, till Pro fessor Holloway discovered his purifying and tonic pills. They are the surest correctives of indigestion, heartburn, flatulency, torpidity of the liver, twitchings, nervous fan cies, despondency, low spirits, and declining strength. Elolloway's pills supersede all irregular action in the body, and so strer gthen and support the system that disease de parts, and leaves the patient not at all shaken. This is the grand aim and object of medical art, to regulate dis ordered functions without damaging the constitution by the remedy ; and admirably is this end attained by Hol loway's pills. a.m. REGISTRATION REFORM. The report of the Select Committee on the regietra tion of parliamentary and municipal voters just published is a long and important document. The Committee state that being convinced that the fundamental cause of the existing evils (which they specify at length) is the faulty character of the primary list, they have sought for some efficient means of securing the preparation in the first instance, of a more complete and accurate list. And in the next place they have desired to discover a ma chinery by which the professed object of the law shall be secured, viz., that all persons entitled to vote shall, as far as possible, be placed upon the register without unnecessary trouble or expense to themselves or others. The Scotch sys tem appears to fulfil this requirement so nearly that it has been the business of the committee to consider how they can assimilate the English system to it. There are many and great difficulties in the way, which are pointed out. The fist and fundamental recommendation which the com mittee offer is that the preparation of the list of voters shall be entrusted to the clerk to the assessment authority i❑ each borough, and that ho shall have power given, either by statute or by the action of the Poor Law Board, to employ the rate collectors of other parochial officials to assist, under his superintendence and con trol, in the preparation of such a list. The registrar• should be clothed with authority to enforce all such penalties as may be imposed upon the overseers with respect to the omission of names or other entries from the rate-book. The rate collectors will be able to carry ou this work contemporaneously with, and as part of, their ordinary daily duties, and incorporate the business of registration with that of the collection of the rate. The committee recommend that such official shall have the title of " Registrar of Voters," and that he and the persons whom he may have occasion to employ shall be remunerated in such manner as shall be prescribed by the board of guardians, subject to tho appro val and revision, from time to time, of the Poor Law Board, in the same manner as the remuneration made to the clerk of the Assessment Committee. In some boroughs this arrangement cannot be carried out, but the committee are willing to tolerate some imperfections in utilising an ex • isting authority ralher than introduce an entirely new machinery. It is proposed to enlist the letter-carriers as assistants to the registrar. It is recommended that, the lists shall be published, not outside the church doors, where they can be seen but once a week, but at public places, such as post-offices and police-stetions. Notices of objection are to state the ground of the objection, and when the registrar has satisfied himself that the ground is suffi ciently stated, he is to be responsible for serving the notice. Revising barristers, it is thought, should have in creased power of amending claims when they aro satisfied that the claims are substantially good. The rovising barris ters should, moreover, be appointed by the judges cellectively, or perhaps by the Court of Common Pleas. The ccmmitteo aro of opinion that there should be one registrar for parlia mentary and for municipal elections. VIE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. One of the most interesting and remarkable Bluebooks published this year refers to the war in New Zealand. It consists of copies of correspondence between the Colonial Office and the Governors of New Zealand, referring to the recent disturbances in the colony, besides numerous other documents bearing on the same subject. The manifestoes and addresses of the Maori chieftains are also given at length, and the late battles and massacres are fully described. Atogether, this official publication contains a complete history of New Zealand from January 1867 up to July 1869. Some of the most interesting of the documents are the copies of the declarations and messages of the New Zealand chieftains. They are written in figurative and simple language, not unlike that made use of in the Scriptures. One friendly chieftain writes to the Governor, Sir George Bowen :—" 0 Father ! salutations to you and your wife and children. Do you make some arrange. ment about this war. We have made two attempts to attack Titi Kowaru's pah, but could not get at it from the badness of the roads, and he refuses to come out. If there had been a good road we should have extinguished his pah (the original literally is 'put a lid upon it as upon a saucepan'). The order was given by Colonel Whitmore, and assented to by all the Maori chiefs." Tito Kowaru, one of the rebel chiefs, writes to a friendly leader :—" Cease travelling on the roads. Stop for ever going on the roads which lead to Manga Manga (the camp of the colonial forces) lest you be left on the roads as food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the field, or for me, because I have eaten the European trooper Smith as a piece of beef. He was cooked in a pot ; the women and children partook of the food. I have begun to eat human flesh, and my throat is constantly open for the flesh of man." The replies of the Governor to the friendly chieftains are couched in this language- persons well-skilled in the Maori tongue and in the native customs and feelings being appointed to draw them up. Thus part of the English translation of a letter sent by Sir George Bowen to the Maori King runs thus :—" 0 Friend! I am very much 'delved to hear that your sword is sheathed. Mine also is sheathed ; but it has not been lifted against you or any other persons who are living in peace with the Queen and in friendship with their neighbours. I did not come here t) fight ; I was sent hither by the Queen to bring words of peace to all men. Enough of this. Te Kooti and Tito Kowaru turned upon me, and what could I do? Such men must be punished ; men who murder unarmed men, women, and young children. Cannibals must be punished, and men who burn houses, and destroy everything that comes in their way." After more explanation of this kind, the letter goes on to say :--" In May next (the date is January) the Queen's son, the Duke of Edinburgh, be in Auckland. If you are willing to welcome him, it is well, I will present him to you ; and you may depend upon this, that you will be treated with every re spect and courtesy, tor you are the son of that great chief who never fought against the Queen, and who was the friend of all the Governor sent here by the Queen up to the day of his death." Numerous maps and plans illustrate this valuable history. One of the most noteworthy of these is a sketch of one of the pahs or native strongholds. The skill and ingenuity, as well as military strategy, which have con tributed to the construction of these remarkable places are really remarkable. They are usually square in shape, with projections like towers at each corner. A double fence of palisading surrounds them, perforated with holes for firing. Inside the second of these fences are pits and platforms. Those natives who take up their position in the pits fire nearly on a level with the ground; those tiring from the platforms will be elevated to the eight of a man's head. Behind these pits end platforms are covered houses, like bomb-proof casements, covered with roofs of corrugated iron. Outside the pah, on the tops of lofty trees, are established look-out platforms. Inside and outside some of these fortifications are huge rata trees, from which a deadlyfire can be poured down upon an approaching enemy. Much of the contents of this book has a retrospective interest, and the descriptions of battles have, of course, teen anticipated. But some of the despatches throw 'ight on matters of policy. It will be remembered that until a few weeks ago there was one British regiment left in New Zealand. On the 22nd of June an appeal was made to the Colonial Office by Mr. Waterhouse, in order that this last British regiment might be left. Mr. Waterhouse stated that the regiment was of great service, even though it was not actively employed. It represented the might and Majesty of the British power, and its withdrawal would con vey to the native mind the idea that British sympathy with the colonial Government was at an end. The rebellion would probably be strengthened, and lukewarm natives driven into the ranks of the hostile Maories. To this appeal Mr. Monsell returns a refusal. In a letter, dated July 3rd, ;,he Under Colonial Secretary observes that the troops had probably left New Zealand by that date, but even if they had not Earl Granville would not think it right to reverse the policy adopted by her Majesty's Government after the fullest considera tion. The issue of positive orders for the withdrawal of the last regiment was not an unforeseen circumstance, but one for which the local Government have been prepared for years, and in reference to which they have had repeated opportunities of making such proposals as they considered necessary for the good of the colony. ELEPHANT AND CROCODILE.—A curious circum stance occurred very lately at Cuttack. An elephant belonging to one of the Rajahs went into a tank to drink, and in doing so put his foot either on, or close to, a crocodile, which at once bit it very severely; this so enraged the elephant, that he trod about until he got his adversary firmly beneath his feet in the mud, when he trampled his life out. Still, however, his rage was unap- peased ; he refused to leave his post, and it was forty-eight hours before he could be enticed out of the tank, when the dead body of the crocodile floated to the surface. THE SUTHERLAND GOLDFIELDS.—The number of diggers now at work at Kildonan is only 85; but they are select hands, and are believed to be doing well. At Suisgill, especially, many of the old claims are turning out well, and in a good many cases the weekly findings of the diggers amount to from to £3 value of gold. Their success at this burn has led them to think of changing the course of the stream, so as to bring the water alongside of their claims, and thus to facilitate the working, which had previously been very much delayed through having to carry the washing a dis tance to the burn. This will cause them to stick to the work for some months to come, and it is said they have a pledge that the diggings will not be put a atop to for 10 loot three or four pptlio,--ltrorthern Ensign, &P i tt -1 " .
