The above are worked by 72 water wheels, of 1,050 horse PoYver, besides 15 steam engines, of 478 horse power. timber acres o f the "Estate are covered with valuable ;and this upply of fuel coupled with the abundance and cheap ness of labour, hits , enabled the Proprietors to p r oduce , Iron at a much less cost than in England, whilst ? sellin g p ri ce in Russia is more than double what it is in s country, as the oduction within the empire is not ;uqlual class)r to t the demand, and Foreign Iron (except of a parti is kept out of competition by the high import d uty and cost of transport. The price at which - the Company's interest in the pro- Perty, as defined below, has been conditionally acquired, is the sum of £60,000, in addition to which, an estimated sum Of £35, 000 will be required to pay off existing charges on the property, and itis calculated that the sum of £70,000 Will be required for working capital, making together ,41 65,000, which is the wh o l e amount proposed to be called uA. The profits at the present time amount to about 537,000 silver roubles (about £70,000 sterling) per annum, subject, however, to a reduction of 72,000 roubles, being interest a t 5 per cent., and sinking fund on a debt of 1,200,000 r oubles due to the Russian Government, thus leaving a. net annual profit of 465,000 roubles (£60,000).

In the above estimate no account has been taken Icato..the profits upon the manufacture of steam engines, f boilers, Src., and it is anticipated that by the introduction u e further capital and the development of the works, the r tuTs . will be more than doubled. of nets intended to create a Sinking Fund for the purpose thi;ty n _s rn ev it g, t° the Shareholders, at the expiration of the cease, the whOelaerasinwhou em t ly th e e s when the interest of the Company will determination of the le n a t se d th t e lle Prop p ri ita et l o c r all s b e i d nd up th . to have a valuation made of all the property above ground, and and, af ter deducting th e present value to pay to the Com to y one-half of th e diff erence i n cash.

The medical officer appended to his report the names of four persons who had been convicted and punished for having sent diseased meat to the City markets for sale as human food. ' The Solicitor to the Commission, Alexander S. Baylis, Esq., laid before the Court a report, stating that he had caused inquiries to be made into the circumstances under which two carcases of very diseased meat were sent- to London for sale in the month of March last. He found Lhat in one case the meat formed part of an animal that had been suffering for some time from lung disease, and subse quently been bought for 10s., by a man who afterwards dressed the carcass, and consigned it to London. The police authorities of the district made known the circum stance of the meat being sent to London to one of the in spectors of the Commission, and the latter at once intimated to the salesman that the meat was coming, and must be de livered up on its arrival. The inspector afterwards saw a bad-looking carcass hangirig up in the shop of the salesman, and asked if it was the meat in question, and it was denied. The inspector marked the carcass, and told the salesman to do nothing with it until he had instructions from whom it came. He afterwards saw the same carcass exposed for sale in another part of the market, and found on inquiry that the salesman had sold it after it had been seized. As this was a case in which the salesman had sold the meat in the market with a full knowledge of its condition, the solicitor advised that proceedings should betaken against him under the Nuisances Removal Act or otherwise, andalso that pro ceedings should be taken against the person who had sent the meat to London. In the other case the meat, which consisted of four quarters of beef, formed part of an animal that had been very diseased, and had been bought for a small sum, sold, and consigned to London. The sender had been before convicted for similar offences, and the solicitor advised that he should be prosecuted under the Nuisances Removal Act, or at common law. The solicitor added that the salesman to whom the meat in tho latter case had been consigned refused to state the name of the sender, which was afterwards found on a piece of paper adhering to part of the carcass. , . ~.ei/lia...eee_ /r 2 PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. and, as a natural consequence, horse-racing had become far more popular. The old yard where so much money had changed hands during the last 25 years had become too small for the numbers visiting it, and they had now found more commodious quar ters as near to the old Corner as possible, where they hoped to maintain with honour to themselves their hereditary connexion with what was really one of the greatest national pastimes. (Cheers.) Mr. EDMUND TATTERSALL having also responded, j The Duke of BEAUFORT then proposed the health, of the gallant Chairman, whom he described as the head of the racing world, and as the best judge of racing matters. They were particularly indebted to him for his Herculean labours in bringing them together at the Derby every year. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, congratu lated them on the extension of racing, not only in this country, but throughout Europe. Competition in such manly exercises tended to promote a kindly feeling among different nations. In the French they had formidable rivals, who had made them look to their laurels. The achievements of Ver mouth and Fille de l'Air were well known to them all. There was no better friend of the turf than the Emperor of the French, but he regretted that in the late Duke de Morny horse-racing had lost a valu able ally. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Turf and the Chase." Mr. GEORGE PAYNE, in responding for the turf, paid a high tribute to the late Mr. Richard Tatter sall, and said that his successors were worthily fol lowing in his footsteps. He regretted, in common with many others, the loss of their old locale, but he rejoiced that in quitting it they were not taking leave of the old associates whom they had long been in the habit of meeting, and to whom they were in debted for many agreeable, though occasionally rather exciting, hours. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The Duke of BEAUFORT, in returning thanks for the chase, spoke of the spread of that pastime in France, Germany, and Italy. In the art of venery he thought they had a great deal to learn from their French neighbours. He traced the good feeling which existed among all classes in this country, from the labourer upwards, in a great degree to the prac tice of keeping staghounds and harriers ; and he expressed an ardent hope that the turf and the chase might go hand in hand as long as England was Eng land. (Cheers.) The healths of Mr. Padwick. and Mr. Hill were next given and duly acknowledged, and the list of toasts concluded with " The Bar of England," for which Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., returned thanks in a humorous speech. The proceedings were enlivened by the perform ance of a selection of music, under the direction of Mr. Bradbury, assisted by Messrs. Baxter, Cum mings, and Lawler as vocalists, and Mr. Sampson. as pianist. Mr. Harker acted as toastmaster. /i - -/ THE PALL-MALL GAZETTE of this Even ing contains (besides all the News of the Day) the following Original Articles:—Strikes and Arbitration Courts —The Debates in the Corps Legislatif—Tne Election of Prevost Paradol—Mr. Mill s Prospec• s—The Great British Lady's Maid—Arrah na Pogue—With Occasional Notes Foreign Notes —Epitome of Opinion in the Morning Jour nals—And Special Items of News from Abroad.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION in GEOLOGY and MINE RALOG Yis given by Mr. TENNAN at 149, Strand, W.C. City Sewers Commission. A Meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London was held yesterday at the Guildhall, under the presidency of H. De Jersey, Esq., deputy and under-sheriff. Among the commissioners present we noticed Deputy Far rar, .Deputy Elliott, Deputy C. Reed, Deputy Tegg, Deputy Bower, Deputy Bone, Deputy Owden, Deputy Perkins, Deputy White, Messrs. George Walter, Co; Cole, Young, Chaplin, Spilsbury, Sully, Banning, J. E. Saunders, Nind, Thomas, &c. The Commissioners were occupied for a considerable time in hearing appeals against the rating of several City properties, and in disposing of summonses, which had been taken out by the sanatory inspectors, against contractors for not duly cleansing certain streets within their districts. Fines were in the latter cases imposed, ranging from £5 to 10s. SANATORY CONDITION OP THE CITY. Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health, presinted to the Court his report on the sanatory condition of the City 'or the quarter ending in December last. The statistical ,ables which were appended to the report showed that there were 687 births and 691 deaths registered during the quar ter. In the corresponding quarter of the last 10 years there were 785 births and 741 deaths. Of the 697 births 309, or nearly half, were in the East London Union, 206 were in the West London Union, and 182 in the City of London Union. These numbers were in the annual proportion of nearly 30 per 1,000 of the population of the first-named union, nearly 31 per 1,000 of the second, and only 15.6 per 1,000 of the third, making a general average of 24.4 for the whole of the City. In all England the proportion of the autumn quarter was at the annual rate of 32.7 per 1,000 of the population. The returns, therefore, for the eastern and western unions of the City were not much below the proportion for the whole country. Of the 691 deaths in the quarter, 214 were in the eastern division of the City, 215 in the western, and 232 in the cen tral. The annual proportion of deaths in these several districts were, therefore, at the rate of 23.6 per 1,000 of the inhabitants of the first-named district, 324 per 1,000 of the second, and nearly 20 of the fourth, the average of the en tire City being 24.1. In the districts of the large towns of England the yearly mortality for the last quarter was 26 per 1,000 of the population, and in the whole of England it was 23-5. But these numbers were above the average for the corresponding period of the last ten years, the death rate for the quarter having been unusually high—so high, indeed, that it had been exceeded on only three occasions, and this had been a subject of comment by the Registrar- General. But notwithstanding the unhealthiness of the season, the general mortality of the City had not been greater than the average for the corresponding period of the last ten years, and it was much below the average for the districts of the chief towns of England. If, in fact, the mortality of the Western Union had not been excessive, the death rate for the entire City would not have been above the common average for the whole country. With respect to the age at death Dr. Letheby observed that 285, or nearly 36 per cent., occurred amongst children of less than five years of age, and 161, or rather more than 23 per cent., among persons of 60 and upwards. In the autumns of the preceding ten years the proportion of deaths at the first named period of life was nearly 39 per cent., and at the second 22 per cent. The chief increase in the morta lity according to age had been in the two decennial periods from 40 to 50 and from 50 to 60. In the first of these the mortality had risen from an average proportion of 8 per cent. of all the deaths to 9, and in the second from nearly 9 per cent, to rather more than 11. CAUSES OP DEATH. The principal causes of death have been as follows : Phthisis 82, tabes and scrofula 46, hydrocephalus 10, pneumonia and bronchitis 116, continued fever 29, scarlet fever 33, measles 12, whooping cough 11, cramp and diphtheria 22, alvino flux 20, and erysipelas 5, making together 138 deaths from tuber cular diseases; 116 from inflammatory affections of the lungs, and 132 from diseases of a zymotic character ; besides which there were 35 deaths from teething and convulsions, and 46 from violence and privation. All these were nearly in the proportion of former years, the deaths from violence and pulmonary consumption being a little above the aver age, while those from scarlet fever and measles were a little below it. In the course of the quarter there were 2,737 cases of sickness attended among the poor by the union medical officers ; and of these 237 were returned as cases of fever and 106 as diarrhoea,. The average number for the autumn quarters of the last seven years were 2,861 cases of sick ness, of which 200 are fever and 126 diarrhoea. METEOROLOGY OP THE QUARTER. The meteorology of the quarter was shown in one of the appendices attached to the report, and the facts were from observations at Guildhall, under the superintendence of Mr. Haywood. The mean temperature of the quarter had been a little below the average for the season. The highest tem perature in the quarter (66.6 deg. Fahrenheit) was in the last week of September. In the two succeeding weeks the weather was colder than usual to the extent of nearly 2 deg. below the average ; there then followed a fortnight of com paratively warm weather; but from the end of Oct. to Nov. 12, the temperature was very low, reaching to a weekly average of more than 7 deg. below the normal point. After this and until the second week in December the weather was again warm, but later in the month the thermometer fell to the freezing point ; and at Greenwich, according to Mr. GlaiSher, it fell on Dec. 17 to 19.2 and on the 18th to 17.3 deg., points which were from 10.4 to 151 deg. below the average for the corresponding days of the h r m at y-threes. great, the et, daily range of the m maximum bein from 9os to o e 19 degrees. g But the most remarkable circum stance in the meteorology of the quarter was the very small amount of rain. In the corresponding quarter of the last six years the rain-fall had averaged 6.26 inches, but during the last quarter it amounted to only 3.67 inches. In consequence of this the humidity o f t h e atmosphere was lessthan fact it ran ge d from only 69 to 77 de grees of saturationsual in in the first th ree weeks of October; and generally during the month it was remar k a bl y b elow the average. Lastly, the number of wet d a y s i n th e quarter u was but 28, the average being 41. This remarkable dry ness of the season,especially in the ea r ly part of the quarter, had no doubt had an influence on th e s i c k ness an d hi gh mortality which had been generally experienced through out the country. SANATORY WORK. The sanatory work of the quarter might be thus ex pressed :-2,167 houses had been inspected, and 802 visits had been made to the common lodging -houses of the City. Altogether there had been 438 orders issued for sanatory improvement ; for cleansing and lime-washing the into water supply ; and for a ri m or en o d f tn h g ou ti s i e e s DISEASED MEAT. C;Ofnodritiirnonplolvdiin-agintsh.e The markets and slaughter-houses had been dilly in spected, and the officers had condemned 37,0141 b., or nearly 17 tons of meat, as unfit for human food. It con sisted of 139 sheep, 7 calyes, 104 pigs, 247 quarters of beef, and 193 joints of meat ; basides 127 head of game and poultry, 19,8891 b. were diseased, 6,5811 b. were putrid, and 10,5541 b. were from animals that had died from accident or disease. The quantity of meat seized in the quarter was not so great as in the corresponding quarters of the last two years, and the chief falling off had been in the amounts seized in Leadenhall market, from which he inferred that all the seizures of unwholesome meat in that market were not returned to him ; and if that were so, it was a defect which needed correction, not only because of the error which it created in the statistical returns for the market, but also because it might operate in checking the administration of justice, by taking from the hand of the Commissioners Banquet to the Messrs. Tattersall. ' Last evening a complimentary dinner was given at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, by the noblemen and gentlemen connected with the Eng lish turf, in honour of Messrs. Richard and Edmund • Tattersall, on the occasion of their removal from the well-known " Corner" at the top of Grosvenor place, where their world-famous firm has carried on business for the last 100 years, to their new and spacious premises near Albert-gate, the opening of which was noticed in our columns of yesterday. The manner in which Tattersall's has been conducted by four generations of the same family has been such as to earn the respect of all who are interested in the favourite national sports of horse racing and hunting ; and it was thought to be only due to the present representatives of the firm that its change of locality on the completion of a century of its history should be marked by some token of public recognition. Hence the sumptuous and numerously attended banquet of last evening. The chair was occupied by Admiral Rous, Pre sident of the Jockey Club, who was supported by the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Bateman, Mr. G. Payne, Mr. Padwick, and many leading members of the sporting world. Covers were laid for about 250 gentlemen. The room pre sented a very brilliant spectacle, which was greatly enhanced by a magnificent display of cups, vases, and groups in silver illustrating the different styles of racing plate manufactured since the year 1770 down to the present period. About 80 of these splen did trophies, won at Ascot, Goodwood, Doncaster, and other places, and representing an aggregate value of nearly £20,000, had been lent for the occa sion by their owners. The collection was brought together with much pains from all parts of the king dom by Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton-street, Bond street, and was inspected with much interest by the guests before the commencement of the proceedings. Among the 'contributors of prize cups, vases, &c., were the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of St. Albans, Col. Towneley, the Earl of Zetland, Mr. H. Padwick, Mr. James Merry, Mr. Jacob Morris, Mr. W. H. Eaton, Mr. T. Drake, Viscount St. Vincent, Viscount Clifden, Mr. W. G. Craven, Baron M. Rothschild, the Earl of Annesley, Mr. T. Parr, and the Earl of Uxbridge. During the dinner the band of the Coldstream Guards, under the direction of Mr. A. F. Godfrey, 8.M., played an admirable selection of operatic and other airs, among which was a galop composed by Mr. Godfrey, and specially dedicated to the Jockey Club. The gallant CHAIRMAN gave " The Health of her Majesty the Queen," which was enthusiastically re ceived. In prefacing the next toast, " The Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family," he remarked that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was a member of the Jockey Club and one of the best sportsmen of the day. " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers" was then proposed, and responded to by Col. Daniels and Lord Bateman. The CHAIRMAN said he had now come to the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to the Messrs. Tatter sall." (Cheers.) These gentlemen and their an cestors had carried on the business of the old " Corner" for a century with great credit and the strictest integrity ; and it was in order to testify their unfeigned respect for the high character of the firm that that distinguished company had as sembled there that evening. (Cheers.) He could not repress a certain feeling of regret at the loss of the old familiar green, the old gravel-walk, and the old cow, emblematical of milk. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) They were not there, however, to indulge in idle regrets for the past, but rather to look for ward to the future, and to express their hope and trust that the traditions of an establishment which he might almost call " national" would be trans planted to its new habitation, and might continue to flourish under the Tattersall family until Lord Macaulay's famous New Zealander came to moralise upon the ruins of St. Paul's. (Cheers and laugh ter.) The toast was drunk with the greatest cor diality. Mr. RICHARD TATTERSALL, in returning thanks, said he was well aware that the high compliment just paid to him and his partner was not due to any merit of theirs, but emanated from a feeling natu ral to most Englishmen,—namely, a desire to wish success to a business which had been conducted by the same family in the same locality for a great num ber of years. (Cheers.) It was now 100 years save one since his great grandfather, who was best known ' to his contemporaries by the name of " Old Tat"— (a laugh)—leased from Earl Grosvenor the piece of ground on which their business had hitherto been carried on. The then Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV., was a constant patron of that estab lishment, and the bust of his Majesty which stood in the old yard was first placed there at the Royal desire. Many a time had he heard the tale of how in the days of his great grandfather a postchaise was seen entering Newmarket with his Royal Highness riding the leaders and Mr. Charles J. Fox riding the wheelers. (A laugh.) His great grandfather was succeeded in the last century by his son, who was also a good deal connected with the Prince of Wales, for he was many years joint proprietor with his Royal Highness of the Morning Post news paper. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) In 1810 his own father and uncle succeeded to the business, and carried it on, lie might say, with credit and success for nearly half a century. (Cheers.) It had now descended in turn to himself and his partner, and time and circumstances had at length driven it from its old locality. But although they had changed their habitation, they had not changed their principles. (Cheers.) A hundred _ . . years ago horse-racing was confined to noblemen and gentlemen, and bookmakers were as little dreamt of as railways or electric telegraphs. (Rear, and a laugh.) But bookmakers had since arisen, Extraordinary Execution at New York, The execution of Robert Kennedy, found guilty of acting as a spy and of participation in the at tempt to fire the hotels of New York, took place at Fort Lafayette on the 25th ult., in the presence of many hundred spectators. Before his death he made the following confession: " After my escape from Johnson's Island, I went direct to Canada, where I met a number of Confe derate officers. They asked me if I was willing to go on an expedition. I said, Yes, if it's in the ser vice of my country.' To which they replied, It's all right,' but gave no intimation as to its nature, nor did I ask for any. I was shortly after sent to New York, where I stayed some time. There were eight of us in the party, and after we had been in the city three weeks we were told that the object of the expedition was to retaliate upon the North for the atrocities of Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. It was originally intended to set fire to the city on the night of the Presidential election, but as the phosphorus was not prepared, it was postponed un til the night of the 25th November. Of the eight men who formed the original party two fled to Canada, leaving but six. I was at first stopping at the Belmont House, in Fulton-street, but after wards moved into Prince-street. I set fire to four hotels, or rather to Barnum's Museum, Lovejoy's Hotel, Tummany Hotel, and the New England House. The others only set fire to the house in which each was stopping, and then cut off. Had the entire eight clone as I did we would have set fire to 32 houses, and played a big joke on the fire depart ment. I know that lam to be hanged for setting fire to Barnum's Museum, but the fact is, that that affair was simply a reckless joke. I had no idea of doing it ; but when we were in there, for the mere fun of the thing, I emptied a bottle of phosphorus on the floor, just to scare the people. I knew it wouldn't set fire to wood, for we had tried that be fore, and had at one time about concluded to give it up. There was no fiendishness about it. The Mu seum was set on fire by merest accident, after I had been drinking, and just for the fun of a scare. After setting fire to my four places, I walked the street all night, until near morning, when I went to the Ex change Hotel. There we all met the next morning and again at night. My friend and I had rooms there, but we sat the most of the day in the office, reading the papers, while the detectives, who were thick, watched us. I expected then that I should be caught, and if caught I expected to die. Had I done so then it would have been all right, but I think now it's rather rough. I escaped to Canada, as did all the rest, and very glad I was to get safely across the bridge. I was restless, however, and wanted to rejoin my command. I started with my friend, via Detroit. Just before we reached the city he received an intimation that the detectives were on the look out for us, and, giving me a signal, he jumped from the cars. I didn't notice the signal, but kept on, and was arrested in the depot. I wish to say that the killing of women and children was the last thing we thought of. We wanted to let the people of the North understand and feel that there are two sides to the war, and that they can't be rolling in wealth and comfort while we in the South are bearing all the hardships and privations. In retaliation for Sheridan's atrocities in the Shenandoah we desired to destroy property, not the lives of women and children, although that of course would have fol lowed in the train." On the morning of the hanging, the executioner, a Maine deserter, who for this work was pardoned his offence, was placed in a box, where he could cut the rope without being seen, and, the hour having arrived, the officials proceeded to the room of the condemned. The officer of the day, First-Lieut. Samuel W. Black, 17th United States Infantry, with attendants, stood at the door, while Colonel Burke, Marshal Murray, and Isaacs entered. Ken nedy stood near the fire, with General Beall and the chaplain. Starting forward, he said , excitedly, "phi I know what you want ; lam prepared for it," and passed to the further end of the room for something, when he noticed the undertaker, Isaacs, and said, "I don't know you, nor who the you are." ---- Beall restrained him, and Marshal Murray told him that it was time for him to be prepared, as the hour had arrived. "All right," said he, " I'm ready ; I'm p re pared for this thing ; tie my arms ;" and then, after a moment's quiet, he shouted, " This is hard for you -- Yankees to use me so. I'm a regular soldier in the Confederate army, and have been since the war." To the reporter of the New York Times he said, " Good-bye, old fellow you'll do me justice in that statement (referring to his confession) won't you. You'll put it all in ?" Isaacs having bound his arms, placed the black cap on his head, at which he. started, saying, "Aml to wear this thing to the gallows ?" He was told that he was, and as he was again about repeating some thing about the Yankees, General Beall interrupted, saying, " These gentlemen have nothing to do with that, Kennedy," and he stopped. The procession, under charge of Lieutenant Black, then marched ?eze(7.-' EWS PAPE It ,~ :?7,7 k r.,2>-..>~, AYA.;7. 1\ Ay " ta to the gallows, upon the scaffold of whi sd a backless chair, and near which were the reporters of some of the papers. For a moment Kennedy sat down, smiled, and then caught hold of his black cap, the end .of which tickled his face, and threw it spitefully on the board. He then stood up, while Capt. T. H. French, 10th United States In fantry, Post Adjutant, read the long review of the case, recently issued by Gen. Dix, in General Orders No. 24. Capt. French read it distinctly and fluently, but during the ten minutes he consumed, Kennedy frequentlyinterrupted him, saying, " It's a —lie," and laughing loudly and offensively. At its conclu sion, the chaplain read the appropriate service, and then, kneeling, offered a touching appeal in behalf of the wretched man, who refused to kneel, and seemed scarcely human in his levity, while all around him . were hushed with reverence. Isaacs stepped forward, but Kennedy, placing his back against the upright plank, said—" Colonel, I wish to make a statement. Gentlemen, this is a judicial murder. Colonel, lam ready. This is a judicial, cowardly murder. There's no occasion for the United States to treat me in this way. I say, Colonel, can't you give me a drink before I go up ?" At the signal Isaacs again approached to adjust the knot and pull down the cap, when Kennedy startled every one present by suddenly shouting forth the stanza : " Trust to luck, trust to luck, Stare your fate in the face, Sure your heart will be airy, If it's in the right place," the final note of which yet rang in the ear, when the whirl of Lieut. Black's blade gave the signal, and the broken-necked corpse of the incendiary was swinging in the air. His death was instantaneous. The body moved gently back and forth for a few moments, was cut down, encoffined, and taken off. NEW ZEALAND. (From the Argus.) The month has been fruitful in events of grave impor tance. The leading incidents are the surrender of Wiremu Tamihana, the Maori king maker, and the blazing out of active hostilities on the western coast. The great native meeting at Hangatike, at which Thomp son had intimated that Governor Grey's peace proposals would be considered, was duly held. It.was attended by more than a thousand Maories, and both Thompson and Rewi, the leading Nga.timaniopoto chief, by whom the war was originally fomented, were present. Thompson spoko for peace, while Rewi declared for war to the knife, and the latter is understood to have carried the tribes with him. He is reported to have left for the scene of operations at Wanganui, at the head of the fighting men of his own and the dispossessed Waikatoo tribes. The next heard of Thompson was that he had communicated with Brigadier- General Carey, who commands in the Waikato, offering to surrender to any officer who might be deputed to receive him. The telegraph briefly informs us that Capt. Blewitt, of the 60th, and Captain Baker, of the 18th, proceeded on this mission, and have returned to head-quarters, accom panied by Thompson. This redoubtable chieftain, it will be borne in mind, is the founder of the king movement. He it was who conceived the idea of uniting the tribes under a monarch, that they might act together to resist the advance of the white man ; and he has carried out the scheme with equal zeal and ability. It has long been known, however, that he is convinced of the failure of the movement, for a failure it is, as shown by the facts that the war was entered upon against the king's wishes and commands, and that of late the monarch has sunk into a nonentity. How far Thompson is acting in concert with the tribes which onco acknowledged his influence we have yet to learn. The scene of action is now shifted from the Waikato to the western coast. A distinguishing feature in the war policy of the Weld ministry is the construction of roads through the disturbed districts along the west coast to Wellington and the adjacent settlements. This is the very thing the natives have always forbidden Europeans to do, and the local rebels, with their Waikato allies, are now erecting pahs to stop the progress of the troops, of whom there are upwards of 3,000 in the district, under the com mand of Brigadier General Waddy. In the meantime, the loyal natives and the out-settlers about Wanganui are suf fering severely. In one instance, a chief named Rio, toge ther with many men, women, and children, were surprised and brutally murdered on account of their refusal to join the rebel cause. In another, Mr. J. D. Hewitt, a member of the Provincial Council, was shot in his own house, and subsequently his head was cut off. A severe action has already taken place. The natives had erected a pah on theWaitotara block recently purchased by the Government, but the sale of which the rebels dis pute. Gen. Cameron ordered Brigadier Waddy to form an advanced camp close to this place. On the 24th a skirmish took place, in which we have to regret the loss of Lieut. Johnston, D.A.A.G. 40th Regiment, an officer who has served with distinction, and whose death will be sincerely regretted. Three men were killed and 7 severely wounded. Next day the Maories attacked the camp in force. They opened fire upon an outlying picket of the 50th, drove it in with severe loss, and while the fighting was proceeding here, they burst in on the other side of the camp in such force and with such fury as to drive the troops before them in a hand-to-hand fight, in which they used their long handled tomahawks with deadly effect. The British sol diers were soon rallied by their officers, a detachment of mounted artillery charged the natives in the rear, and without having actually penetrated the camp, the Maories were driven.back to the bush. Our loss was 17 killed and 33 wounded, the list of the latter including Lieut. Wilson and Ensign Grant, of the 50th. Twenty-three Maori bodies were recovered, and the total loss of the enemy is esti mated at 60 or 70 men killed. Three hundred men of the 18th Regiment and 500 men of the 50th were engaged, and the Maories are believed to have been 600 strong. It is said that 2,000 fighting men are in arms at Wan ganui —as many as took the field last year in the Waikato. The country is most difficult to operate in, for there is no river to facilitate transport, and whore the land is not covered with an impenetrable forest it is overgrown with the tall native flax plant which affords a, dense cover. The Wanganui natives have abandoned themselves to the delu sions of the mad prophet who has been recently preaching a crusade against the Europeans, ordered, as ho says, by the angel Gabriel. Our troops have, therefore, to encoun ter fanatics as well as savages. The adherents of the Pai Mairre superstition, as it is termed, were promised invul nerability, and this, it is said, induced them to make the bold and open attack on the Nukumaru camp. It is hoped that they are now undeceived. The Confederate Army in Virginia. We have received the following from a correspondent : "As much misapprehension is just now rife here and in Europe at large respecting the condition and privations of the Confederate armies, and more especially that of Vir ginia, I subjoin some extracts from a letter on the subject, dated as late as Feb. 22 last. It is from the ingenuous pen of a gallant young Marylander, who has been a volunteer from the beginning of the war, and who is now command ing a company of artillery in Lee's army near Petersburg. As it comes, therefore, from a seasoned soldier, who has served under the sorest hardships, and ' assisted' at many battles, its statements are all the more valuable. They derive, too, an additional interest from tho circumstance that they were made without a thought of their meeting any other eyes than those of his own family :--..‘ The papers must give you alarming accounts of short com mons in the army. To prevent errors, let me simply has fsatailteedthoantlyforontheedapiastto t g w e e t iv i e ts mouths m ra y ti c o o u m a r u n n y that day sugar and coffee were issued in place of meat. I fancy that General Lee's entire army has been fed with almost equal regularity. The ration is vb. of bacon, or /lb. of fresh beef, 11b. of flour or meal, a sufficient quan tity of beans, peas, or rice, and a modicum of salt. This is the regular ration which comes to every man under all circumstances as surely as the sun rises. Occasionally in a fight or in a hard march, after labour in the trenches, the meat is increased, and coffee and sugar or other luxuries given to us. This sort of fare is not very palatable, but men keep healthy and often fatten on it. The army is not suffering either for clothing. My company is a fair indica tion of all others. I inspect closely every Sunday morning. The men turn out in their best clothes, and are required to present a neat appearance. I find that a few shoes, caps, and trousers are all that aro required for comfort. I darn say the friends of the South are greatly discouraged in Baltimore. It is a fact that we have suffered great re verses. The enemy are crowding us. But the country has already recovered its heart, and the people have con cluded to give up literally everything, if it be necessary— houses, lands, cities. Their courage rises with the demand for it ; and the world will, perhaps, see this summer what sacrifices a nation can make for its existence. The soldiers aro acquiring an excellent tone, and you can look out for some terribly hard fighting this spring. I am in good spirits. My line of duty is plain enough. It is simply to keep my guns manned efficiently, and to follow General Lee with them as long and whenever he orders me. As I read history its teachings are that all military operations consist of alternate reverses and successes, and that when a cause begins to be desperate is the very time when the tide turns and begins -to set in the other direction."— Galignani.
