No wonder then exists, that savages and cannibals should have considered such white men as enemies, and feasted upon them, as is their custom. MMeover, the two men who de serted from the - ship'S_company on the 4th of May, might have ur g ed the natives to plunder, and have advised them that, as Guard and some of his men were armed, and a-culd• make resistance, they must fight before they could. obtain 3d.

The town of Gravesend and its neighbourhood has lately been growing in public estimation, and is now become so constant a re sort of persons from the Metropolis, that there is no doubt that an i ncreased facility o f commu nication by a Railroad would be highly advantageous to the Public and profitable to the Proprietors. It is prOposed to extend the London and Greenwich Railway to Gravesend. and thus reduce the time of travelling from London bridge to Gravesend to less than one hour ; this cannot fail to be found highly acceptable to those persons who are interested in the tommerce of the port of London, or in the arrival and departure of st eam -vessels and foreign mails. The number of persons who have visited Gravesend during the present year is estimated at between 800,000 and 900,000; and when th e a ddi t i ona l i nducement of a R a il way s h a ll b e presen t e d t o the Publi c , there can be no doubt but the intercourse between Lon -60, Gravesend, and the neighbouring towns will be considerably increased. The sources of revenue have been carefully and minutely exa mined, and are such as to justify an opinjonthat the annual - income will be equal to that of any similar undertaking. The plans and surveys of this line of railway, together with the !Eimate s o f outlay, are completed ; and the proposed gradients have been pronounced by scientific persons as the best calculated to combine the greatest speed and the least possible wear and tear.

This is not only the shortest and most direct practicable line toe Bright on , but it has also the advantage, for the first twenty miles out of London, of a joint communication with the counties of Sussex and Kent, thereby offering a double source of profit for that part. Fro m its termination, at the Northern entrance to Brighton,, i t is proposed to extend it to Shoreham, and, from a conve nient point on the line, to carry a Branch by way of Lewes, to N ewhaven, securing thereby the commercial advantages of the two harbours without the necessity of lengthening the line for passen gers to Brighton. From Oxted the Kentish line proceeds direct to Tunbridge and Tunbridge -wells, through a country particularly well adapted to such a work ; and the proposed continuation to Dover, through Ashford, i s direct and easy. The advantages of effecting these two great .objects by one expense of management, and one outlet common to both, are obvious. Branches will hereafter be carried from the main line to se veral important neighbouring towns, but in the meantime it is anticipated that the Depots at Tunbridge and Tunbridge-wells will be points of arrival and departure for Hastings, St. Leonard's , and the S out h -eastern Coast, and will secure the traffic with those districts.

National Provincial Bank Among the wealthy districts of England which are yet strangers to railw a y conveyance there is, perhaps, none where it could be in troduced with greater advantage than that portion of the eastern coast of England which comprehends Essex, Wolk, and Norfolk. These counties are remarkable for presenting the greatest conti nuous extent of level country in the whole kingdom; a circum • Stance which pre-eminently fits them for participating in the bene fits of th e railway system. - They include some of the richest and most cultivated portions of England—those portions from which l i the m e t ropo li s d raws i ts c hi e f supp li es o f corn , fl our , malt, cattle,. i heep, pi gs , poultry, vegetables, &c. They have also an extensi v e iiaa boundary, and supply nearly the whole of the fish consumed in he metropolis. ~, The ra il way w hi c h it i s now p ro p ose d to construct through ! 4 cae counties will follow, as nearly as practicable, the main stream i n, which th e tra ffi c of the district already runs. In consequence of Ins` very level character of the country there will not be a single Vane' required, nor even an 'embankment of more than 30 feet !ugh, and the greatest rise in any part of the line will not exceed 1 in 400 feet. The line, too, at the metropolitan end, will interfere with no important buildings, though it will advance much farther Into the heart of the city than any of the other railways now in pro gress. Forming, as sueh a railway will do, the principal and favourite Medium of transport for more than a million of people, (including the portion of the metropolitan population connected by business I ,l l d by family ties with the eastern counties) —passing everywhere "'rough a country not only yielding much, but requiring much in t i lt 4 ra—touching at many large and well frequented markets—and profi may: having no canals or other railways to compete with, it will be con 'lvy to a ll ex p er i ence if it d oes n ot pay well.

In several Gent and Rheumatic Cases it has proved highly beneficial. The high estimation in whish this invaluable Ointment is held by the public—the great demand for it in all parts of the kingdom —and the reputation it has acquired —are, it is presumed, the strongest proofs of its beneficial influence and peculiar efficacy in the above alarming and obstinate complaints. It is impossible to innumerata in the limits ef an advertisement, the numerous Cures it has speedily effected, after every ether application had failed ; of which were pronounoed insurable by the Faculty. In con firmation of this fast, a slight referenoe to the affidavits and testi monials which will be found in the Bill of Directions around cash Pot, will prove most satisfactory to every candid mind.

TROLLOPE'S NEW WORK.—Mrs. Trollope in " Tremordyn Cliff," combines feminine shrewdness of per-. ception, with a masculine power of enforcing what she per ceives. It is a book which will not only entertain, but must impress. Its writer is among the first of her class and sex. " Tremordyn Cliff" is to be praised for its great talent, and a glorious entertainment is the sure result of its perusal. Much as this amusing writer has been praised, we think her present work will advance her reputation. So great was the reverence formerly entertained for the sanctity of the Reculvers church (which all Margate steam-goers must well remember), that for ages it was the custom of sailors to lower the topsails of their vessels as they passed. It was also a standing joke in trading vessels for the ship boys to whip the master during the few seconds that the spires were in the same line with the ship.—Ma, crone's Picture of Herne Bay. RUSSIAN REVENUE.—For the first six months of the present year, instead of the augmentations promised by the continental trumpeters of Russian resources, the customs show a diminution of 1,400,000 roubles from the receipti of. the corresponding period in 1834, while the expenses of collecting have increased to 9 or 91 per cent. on the gross proceeds ; so that this branch of revenue for 1835 may be expected to be reduced to about 76,000,000 roubles. The poll-tax in the southern provinces also pre sents a diminution of nearly 800,000 roubles for the above specified period, and spirits of 900,000 roubles. There is less difference in the produce of wines, salt, stamps, &c. ; but the articles expected to afford compensation present on the whole an increase of not above 400,000 or 500,000 ' roubles. " These results," proceeds a French contempo rary, the National, " are the more adverse, as the expenses of the treasury are advancing in an inverse progression. Tlie extraordinary military expenses occasioned by the re view at Kalisch, amount, on the most moderate estimate, to 16,000/000 roubles, independentl, - of the 10,000 which it has cost the Emperor out of his private Exchequer, the local burdens which have been imposed, the expense of trans ports, subsisting and encamping the troops, &e," MR.

STANLEY, &C. &C. &C. Government House, Sydney, Sept. 23, IS3-1. Sir,—A respresentation having been made to me by Mr. John Guard, whaling-master of the barque Harriet, wrecked on the coast of New Zealand on the 29th April last, that 12 of the crew who were saved from the wreck had been massacred by the Zealanders on shore, and that nine men, with Mrs. Guard and two children, were detained in cap- tivity by them, I called a meeting of the Executive Council to consider what measures were to be adopted under these circumstances. A min?ite of the proceedings of Council on the occasion, together with the narrative of Mr. Guard, are transmitted herewith. In conformity to the opinion expressed by Council, I concerted measures with Captain Lambert, of his Majesty's ship Alligator, then in Port Jackson, for proceeding to de mand the restoration of the captives, directing one' officer and twenty-five rank and file of the 50th Regiment to em bark on board his shiv,:ami placing under his command the colonial schooner Isabella, with a further detachment of the 50th Regiment officers on board, consisting of two and forty rank an file. These vessels sailed from Port Jack son on the 31st August last, since which sufficient time has not elapsed to allow of my being informed of their arrival on the coast of New Zealand. The Council have recommended Wet I should represent to his Majesty's Government the urgent necessity of having a ship of war permanently stationed- in these seas, for the protection of British and Colonial commerce, and the re pression of the numerous outrages which are so Trequently committed both by Europeans and natives on the shores of the South Sea Islands. I cannot too strongly support the opinion of the Council, and I am prepared to go the length of recommending the British Resident to be withdrawn from New Zealand, and the British subjects settled there to be warned that they are altogether without the pale of British protection, unless at least one ship of .war be stationed permanently in these seas. I have, &c. (Signed) RICHARD BOURKE. NARRATIVE OF MR. GUARD. Sir,—ln conformity with the commands I had yesterday the honour to receive personally from your Excellency, I now respectfully submit a concise statement of my dreadful case in regard to my sufferings at New Zealand, and the murder of twelve of the seamen of the barque Harriet, wrecked on that coast, and the ,treatment I experienced, and that of my wife and children, seized and detained by the savages ; to rescue whom I now pray the assistance of the colonial Government. _ _ _ In command. of a whaling gang, on board the barque Harriet (240 tons), bound for Clouy Bay, New Zealand, where I had - been several years employed in the whaling trade, having sailed from Sydney on the 13th day of April last, under the command of I\lr. Richard Hall, a navigating Captain, having on board my wife and two infants, Captain Hall, two mates, and twenty-tree ordinary seamen ; the barque was driven ashore at Cape Egmont, on the 29th of April, at four hours thirty minutes A.M., in a strollg gale from the west-south-west, where by the violence of the sea the barque was dashed to pieces towards evening. We succeeded in effecting a landing with my wife and children, and got ashore in one of the boats, with some muskets, powder, sails, and a few other necessaries, and the next day saved two more boats, provisions, &c., but the vessel be came waterlogged and a perfect wreck. On the Ist of May we were visited by about thirty natives, who appeared aware that we were completely in their power. On the 4th, Thomas Mossman and James Johnson deserted us and joined the natives, taking with them gunpowder and other articles. On the 7th, a whole tribe of about 200 natives came to us and treated us very roughly, and plundered us of all we had saved from the wreck, saying they meant to kill us. On the 10th, at day break, we mustered to meet our fates as Providence might decree, resolved to sell oar lives as dearly as possible, the natives having made their ovens hot to bake us, and told us they would cat our hearts. At eight A.M. the natives rushed on us and killed two of our men ; one they struck down with a tomahawk, and then cut up into joints. We now saw their fall intention, and immediately commenced firing on them ; they then began to look for shelter ; several we shot, but our only having so small a quantity of fire-arms, we could not do a great al ; however we fought them for one hour, and had at times great hopes of heating them, having obliged them to retreat twice, but our little number fast decreasing, and o r stock of cartridges getting short, and they so very numeross, we were completeb sur rounded, they laying behind the hills and trees, &c., and firing on us all the time. We then thought it prudent to effect a retreat, there only then being 14 of us ; we fought our way through them and gained the beach, leaving some behind who were unable to follow us, who all afterwards fell victims to the inhuman savages, with the exception of Mrs. Guard, whom they stripped stark' naked, twice cut down with a tomahawk, and would have split open her head with the blows but for a large comb in her hair, which in some de gree averted its force, and a little boy, two-and-a-half years old, and one girl, six months old, whom they made prisoners of. The whole of us who escaped made the best of our way towards Mataroa, leaving the inhuman natives plun dering our prOperty, and feasting on our unfortunate fellow creatures. On our journey we fell in with about 100 na tives, to whom we gave ourselves up ; some of them wanted to eat us, others to protect us, which providentially they did, and sent a guide with us to 11lataroa. May 20th, the boat arrived, and we commenced putting her in repair, our only tools being one hammer, one pocket knife, and a few nails from the boats they burnt. June 20th, Air. Guard and six other Europeans, in com pany with natives, started for Cloudy Bay in their small whale boat, which kept one hand constantly baling the whole way. After being two days and two nights at sea, we reached Blind Bay, and hauled up our boat for the day, being unable to proceed, the wind blowing very strong from the northward, with heavy rain. June 22d, started from Blind Bay on our journey ; the night coming on, and .a hettvy sea from the northward, caused us to put up in a small river, where we again fell in with a party of natives, who robbed us of what we had in the boat, viz, a few potatoes and some of our oars, and had we not known some of them, most likely they would have kept our boat ; but as it was they detained us one day. June 26th, about 4 we arrived safe at the European settlement of Queen Charlotte's Sound, and got intelligence of the schooner Joseph Weller, John Morris commander, going to Port Nicholson. June 30th, arrived at Port Nicholson, and found the Jo seph Weller there, bound for Sydney. These, may it please your Excellency, are the dreadful circumstances under which I humbly claim your protection, and that of the colonial government, for the protection of myself and my fellow subjects at Now Zealand, and in par ticular to effect the rescue of my wife and children from the savages, if they be still living. Captain Auglun, of the barque Lucy Ann, and myself, are willing to assist any party your Excellency magike pleased to send down to punish the savages, and teach them to respect the British ; and we should be able to conduct any vessel to the best ports, and give much valuable assist , ance to a military or naval force. I have, ike. . (signed) JOHN GUARD. Upon this statement the Council resolved to apply to Captain Lambert, commanding his Majesty's ship Alligator, to obtain the restoration of the nine men, women, and children detained by the savages. To this course C. D. Riddell, Esq., the Colonial Treasurer, was opposed. His grounds of dissent are thus stated in a protest addressed to the Governor. Ist. Presuming that the narrative of Captain Guard is correct, and supposing, for the sake ofargument, that terror has a greater effect upon the minds of savages than the love of gain, this expedition appears . to him to be prema ture. If the Government of 'England think proper to station one or more ships of war at New Zealand, with a sufficient number of troops to act in cases of emergency for the protection of British subjects and interests, in that case it might be proper to use force and show resistance to any aggressions offered by the natives ; but by resortin g to force in a solitary instance, and Alien withdrawing that force, the savages will be so exasperated that they may, and pro bably will, be induced to retaliate upon all British subjects settled in New Zealand, who are completely at their mercy, and must be so previous to the arrival of a permanent and efficient force for their protection. 2d. The system of ransoming prisoners taken by savages, although it may appear at first sight degrading, is neverthe le:,s that which seems the best adapted to secure personal safety to shipwrecked mariners or others who may fall into their hands. Mr. Guard expressed no dread for the safety of his wife and family, nor of the men left behind in bond age to the Mataroa tribe, and was quite confident that a the character of Mr. Guard. The Colonial Treasurer has casually been informed that be was formerly neony,ie:, end that his dealings with the New Zealanders have, in some instances, been marked with. cruelty.. -He has also been given to understand that _some merchants - in §ydnpy, who ;lave establishments in New Zealand, arc expressing their rears of thc.result of this expedition. C. D. RIDIALL. Colonial Treasurer. Sydney, 25 August 1834. In • a despatch sent by the Captain of the Alligator ;0 Sir R. Bourke, the Governor of New South Wales, ;he. Gallant Officer says : I have great pleasure in informing your Excellency, and the Executive Council, that the service upon which his Majesty's ship, under my command, with the colonial schooner Isabella, and a detachment of his Majesty's 50th regiment, went to New Zealand, has been completed. Having regained the whole of the Harriet's crew, with tho exception o two who had escaped from Mataroa, prior to our arrival, one of whom I am informed was drowned in crossing a river, the other had arrived in safety at the mis sionary establishment at Corfea. The letter of Captain Johnstone, of the 50th Re giment, to the Military Secretary at Sydney, supplies the particulars of the recovery of the persons detained, and an account of the engagement, which will be generally read with interest : _ _ Having received orders and instructions to proceed with my company to the Terranaka coast of New Zealand, for the purpose of recovering nine seamen, one woman, and two children, belonging to the barque Harriet, wrecked on that coast in April last, and kept in captivity by 'different tribes of natives, I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of his Excellency the Major-General command ing the forces, that I embarked on board his Majesty's schooner Isabella, on the morning of the .10th of , August, with one subaltern, one assistant-surgeon, three serjeants, and 4Q rank and file. Lieutenant Gunton, one serjeant, one drummer, and 20 rank and file embarked at the same time on board his Ma jesty's ship Alligator. On the 21st of September, when off Mataroa, Captaitt Lambert sent off two boats, in one of which the chiefs were sent on shore. Seven of the seamen were immediately given up, two having left Mataroa for Corfea, a missionary settlement, of whom I understand one arrived safe, the other being drowned in attempting to cross a river. On the morning, of the 28th September, agreeably to orders received from Captain Lambert, I landed about half a mile to the eastward of a pah called the Mummo; where it was supposed the women and children were de tained, with thei k undermentioned force, it being impossible in consequence of the surf to land the whole of the troops without much delay ; viz., Lieutenant Thomas, six officers, and about 30 seamen, consisting of the boat's crews of his Majesty's ship Alligator; Lieutenant Clarke, one serjeant, and 12 rank and file Royal Marines ; Lieutenant Guntor, one serjeant, and 16 rank and file 50th regiment. As soon as the above force was landed, and the boats hauled up on the beach, and given in charge of an officer and six seamen, I formed up my party, and was about to move on for the purpose of attacking the pah, if the woman and children were not given up. At this moment a native came down to us, supposing we were come to ransom the woman and youngest child who were in this pah, the eldest child, a boy, whom they had made a chief, being at Wya mati, about 25 miles to the eastward of this place. Mr. Guard, who came up immediately, recognized this man as being the chief who had possession of Mrs. Guard and his youngest child, on which I immediately secured him, and sent him on board the ship, telling him at the same time, that as soon as the woman and children were given up, he should be set at liberty. At this time the natives, many of whom were armed, were lying upon the top of the cliff, which overhung the beach, but made no resistance. When the boat in which I sent the chief was nearly through the surf, he made an attempt to escape, but was told by Mr. Guard, in whose charge he was placed, that if he did he would be shot ; however, notwithstanding this threat, he jumped out of the boat and dived ; on coming up he was fired at, and shot through the calf of the leg, after which he was again secured and taken on board his Majesty's ship Alligator, where his wounds were dressed. 1 lost no time in proceeding to the pah for the purpose of securing the woman and youngest child, but on my ar- rival found it deserted, the natives having retreated into the bush, carrying with them the captives: In the meantime some of the natives came down and plundered the boats• of the seamen's provisions which had been left in them. On seeing the party return, they fled without doing further mischief. I immediately communicated with Captain Lambert, ex pressing my wish to remain in the pah for the night, under the impression that the woman and child would be given up. Some of the natives having been seen in the bush, I sent the interpreters to them to say that if the woman and child were given up directly, their chief should be restored to them, but if they were not, we intended to detain him and burn down the pah. The boats were then secured for the night and left in,charge of picket. Early next morning, having seen some of the natives, _ I went with the interpreter and four seamen to communi cate with them, and to impress upon their minds the ne cessity of giving up the woman and children, telling diem we did not intend giving any ransom, and that none would be given, repeating to them our resolution to destroy their pah should they not accede to our demands. Their answer was, that the different tribes were going to unite and fight us. - Finding it useless to wait any longer I returned to the pah, which I immediately caused to be destroyed, the stockade and huts being burned to the ground. This being completed, the detachment re-embarked without ae• cident. This pah or stockade was situated on the edge of the cliff, about 100 feet above the level of the sea, strong by nature on the land side, being separated from the main by a small valley, having a gentle slope to the foot of the pah, the side of which rose almost perpendicularly from it, 40 or 50 feet in height. At the top of this a rude parapet of earth was raised, behind which was planted a strong tow of palisades, and if defepdecl could not be carried without considerable loss to the assailants. Th'p only en trance is by means of a notched tree with ropes . attached, by which only one person can enter at a time, and this tree would be drawn up if an attack was apprehended. We understood from the wounded . chief that he belonged to Hatteranni pah, and that the woman and will would be carried there ; and on the Ist of October, when off that place, Captain Lambert sent off two boats, in one of which I went ulth Lieutenant Thomas, and in the other the chief we had taken prisoner at the Nummo pah. After some conversation they agreed to give up • the women and child for the chief, Which was accordingly done; They also said the boy would be given up during the' day, but that he was in the Wyamati - pall, over which they had no control. In the afternoon the boats were again sent off for the • purpose of getting the boy ; the natives at first said he was coming, but soon after left the beach, and fired on the boat in which was the first lieutenant, who immediately' returned to the ship and reported the circumstance to Captain Lam bert, who ordered the master of the schooner to stand in as near as possible and open a fire upOn • the palls from the schooner's guns, which was done, as also by his Majesty's ship Alligator. This, however, did not make them_ give up the boy. On the 7th of October Captain Lambert proposed . to me, as a last ~ effort towards the recovery of the child, to 'land the whole of the troops, with about 20 seamen, and one of the schooner's guns, which I considered a sufficient force. Lieutenant Thomas was sent in a boat to recon noitre and see where he considered a landing could best be effected. On his return he reported having discovered a place where the surf was not so considerable as elsewhere, about three miles to the eastward of the palls. In the evening I ordered four days' provisions and 70 rounds of ammunition per man to be issued. Early in the morning of the Sth the ships stood in shore, and the wind being off the land, the schooner ran in as close as possible to the landing place and anchored. The Royal Marines under Lieutenant Clarke, and Lieutenant Gunton's detachment .50th regiment, Were the first landed. They immediately ascended the cliff, a short distance from the landing place, by a rude pathway, assisted uy ropes which the natives had left.. At the top they took by a position to cover the landing of tho troops and gun from the schooner. By I 1 o'clock A. as. the troops were all landed, and the gun hauled up the cliff by means of ropes landed from his Majesty's ship Alligator ;for that purpos-. Having thus gained the top of the cliff without opposi tion, I formed my men, and ordered Lieutenant Clarke with the. marines, and Lieutenant Gunton's. detachment; THE NEW NOVEL. This day may be had of all Librarians and Booksellers, p L ANTAGENET. ' 6 This work will, from the irresistible power, the intensity of its language, and the highly-wrought interest of its plot, be read and re-read with avidity. There is something about it Byronic—a shattered nobleness that, appealing to the loftier emotions, over powers in the breast, for the moment, the strict moral sense, and we admire what we read, not because it is perfect, or even abstract edly good, but because it is imposing and grand. This work will command many readers—and it deserves to be read. "—Metropolitan. John Macrone, 3, St. James's-square. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE HEIRESS."
