He immediately wrote to Col. Mould, R.E., who was then in command of the Waitara camp, to inform him that he intendrml to attack the enemy early on the following morning, wad to desire that he would make a simultaneous attack on the other side with a portion of his force.

" In pursuance of this plan, the general marched from New Plymouth with 700 men, at 6 a.m. on the 6th, and, immediately upon his arrival at Mahoetahi, commenced the attack without waitin.g for the troops frcom the Waitara, who were not then in sight, and who, having been acciden tally delayed, did not arrive until the engagement was nearly over, and the pah had been cleared of the enemy by the charge of the 65th and the Volunteers. 'The assertion of the Argus, that the general met the enemy by chance, has not onl7 no foundation in fact, but is directly contradicted by tF_Le information from the seat of war which is published. in the same issue of that paper. "As regards the alleged superiority of numbers on the part of the troops, although it is true that after the arrival of the Waitara force there were nearly 1,000 men in the field, it is no less true that a large portion of them took no part in the action, their services, not being required. On the other hand, a large body of the enemy were observed at no great distance, their object, of course, being to support those who occupied Mahoetahi ; but, daunted by the rapid and total defeat of their friends, they took care to keep at a respectful distance from the troops. "it is not true that the Maories have been permitted, as the Argus says they have, to remain in almost undisturbed possession of the district which they had conquered and occupied.' They have not conquered any district, nor have they been permitted to remain in possession of a foot of land outside of the almost impenetrable forest in which they have been compelled to hide themselves for some months past. In venturing for once to leave its shelter they exposed themselves to and received a lesson which they will probably not soon forget. The statement, that the few expeditions which have been undertaken were mere reconnaissances, the issue of which has been almost inva riably disastrous, and that the enemy have often seen the rear of our soldiers, is equally at variance with facts. Most of the expeditions alluded to were carefully planned attempts to cut off the retreat of the enemy, and thereby to compel them to fight, and although these attempts were almost always frustrat e d b y the vigilance of the Maories, an d the rapidity with which they fled, none of them, except the attack on Puketakauere by Major Nelson, in - w hich his force was greatly o utnumbered, has been attended with anything disaster ; nor am I aw a re of a single ingtance igl3 QQ1 1 a 1 9 73 (NA I he" myself been /moat At WIND AND WEATHER REPORT.

The special correspondent of the Nelson Elea miner, writing from Taranaki on the Bth instant, says : I am truly glnd to have good news this time ; the Waikatos, estimated at 400, under Wetini-tai porutu, a principal chief of the powerful Ngatihaua tribe from the Thames, having been routed with great loss on the morning of the 6th instant. The previous reports brought in by Matiu of the arrival of Waikatos at the Waitara were gross exaggerations, got up by himself and the natives to outwit us, and they succeeded. The object was to draw the General's attention from the south, as be was at the head of a powerful force, and had already made himself master of tie pah at Kaihihi, and, as the natives rightly judged, intended to follow up his advantage. The rebel and spy, Matiu (who finds favour with the Native Depart ment), suddenly came in from Mataitawa, and having his story artfully arranged as to names of tribes represented, and of chiefs heading them, was not disbelieved, and the General very properly returned to town. This time he received his reports from reliable source. It appears that on the day previous (sth), a party of soldiers from Puketakauere, which - is now garrisoned by a force of 50 men, whilst engaged in bridging over a swamp near the W ai ongona, were attacked by natives under the Waikato chief Rewi, when one man of the 65th Regiment 'was wounded. The natives, besides wounded, had five or six killed. Major Nelson and Capt. Seymour, R.N., Communicated with the General by the Tasmanian Maid, and also the important information that a body of Waikatos had taken possession that day of Mahoetahi pah (which formed Col. Gold's halt ing -place when the attack on Puketakaure was made). A combined attack was concerted for the followi ng morning, and about four a.m. of the 6 th, 700 men, including 120 militia and volun teers,with guns and rockets, left to wn, and on taking 11 P their ground, made the attack at once. After some shells and rockets had been fired at the pah, the order for assault WAS given, this honour falling [lB 118 L5O 155 100 100 100 100 100 100 [4 14! 71 73 P 1 137 139 101 103 95 97 11 118 10 111 I P 93 95 LO3 105 I IP id p 23 24 [23 126 [3O 133 10i 11 234 24 102 104 102 104 91 93 100 102 85 88 27 281 32 33, 1 32 331 4% 48 123 125 123 125 100 102 123 126 116 120 LINES LEAS.

Vcntris, 1. to a clerk in the firm of Quilter and Ball, was this morning indicted for perjury. The pr: , oner is one of the persons already found guilty of conspiracy with. Robert Poole, a bankrupt, to defraud his creditors by the concealment of a large quantity of property, consisting of boots and shoes. The principal witness examined was a man named Beard, but his evidence was merely a repetition of that given on the trial of Poole. . _ _ There is a large number of witnesses to be examined, and it is not expected the trial will conclude before Monday. There still remain two other indictments relative to the frauds to be disposed of before sentence is passed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FnIDAY.

We have reason to believe that Mr. Baring will succeed Lord de Grey as Under-Secretary of State for the War Department, acting under the new Lord Herbert; and that Lord De Grey will take Mr. Baring's Owe in the India-office, and represent that department in the House of Lords. It is understood that the Marquis of Chandos has resigned the post of chairman of the London and North- Western Railway Company. Yesterday the remains of Mr. John Smith, at one time editor of the Liverpool Mercury, and who for many years had taken a prominent part in public affairs in Liverpcol, were interred in Toxteth Park Cemetery. Notice was issued from the General Post-office yesterday, stating that it is understood that the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company will not have a vessel to despatch from Galway to America on Tuesday, the 15th inst. The service will therefore, on this occasion, be necessarily omitted. In consequence of heavy falls of snow in the mountains of Grasse, department of the Var, a number of wolves have descended to the neighbouring villages, and committed ravages among the flocks. At Caussols seven lambs were devoured, and the sheep with them having been attacked, were more or less injured. At Grasse one wolf I was killed. IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN GRAIN, &c.—The following quantities were imported into Hull last week : Wheat, 5,186 qrs. ; barley, 4,203 qrs. ; beans, 566 qrs. ; peas, 873 qrs. ; tares, 796 qrs. ; linseed, 940 qrs. Duty was also paid upon 2,400 cwt. of wheat flour. A change of considerable importance to the pro fession of attorneys and solicitors in Ireland has recently been made with respect to the admission of apprentices. Hitherto no qualification was required beyond the payment of stipulated fees, but, in compliance with the recommen dation of the Society of Attorneys and Solicitors, the benchers resolved upon subjecting the candidates to strict tests of their general knowledge, and a regular examina tion of a comprehensive and severe character has been instituted. THE HULLAH FUND.—The committee give notice that three concerts will be given in aid of this fund —one by the Vocal Association, directed by Mr. Benedict, on the 29th January instant; one by the Royal English Opera orchestra, directed by Mr. Alfred Mellon, on the 4th of February next ; and one by Mr. Leslie's choir, directed by Mr. H. Leslie, on the 7th March next. Further particulars will shortly be announced. FROSTS ON THE THAMES.—The Thames was frosen for 14 weeks in 1063, and below bridge to Gravesend from Nov. 24 to Feb. 10, id 1434. In 1515 carriages passed over from Lambeth to Westminster, and fires and diver sions were witnessed in 1607. In 1684 the river was covered with ice 11 inches thick, and nearly all the birds perished. In 1716 a fair was held and oxen roasted ; this frost continued from November 24 to February 9. A frost in 1740 lasted nine weeks, when coaches plied upon the Thames, and festivities of all kinds were celebrated upon the ice. From November to January, in 1789, the river was passable opposite the Custom-house, and in 1814 booths were erected. The present frost has lasted about 10 days, and if it continues for the same period longer, the scenes of the Serpentine may be transferred to our great metropoli tan river. FIRE AT MANCHESTER. —About 20 minutes to four o'clock yesterday morning, the Beehive Mills, Jersey street and Bengal-street, Manchester, wore discovered to be on fire. The Beehive Mills wore two five-storey build ings, at right angles with each other, belonging to Mr. Joseph Lamb, the greater 'part of the premises being tenanted by Mr. T. P. Sykes, and occupied with cotton spinning machinery. Cart of the premises was in the oc cupation of Mr. J. K. Thorburn, and a portion was occupied by Mr. Lamb himself, as a spindle and fly-making establish ment. The fire was discovered in a room above the boiler-house, in Bengal-street, and belonging to Mr. Sykes, - < and would, it was thought, be easily extinguished ; liut the flames spread with great rapidity, and when the fire brigade arrived had obtained a powerful hold of the buildings. By 6 o'clock the mill facing to Jersey-street was one mass of fire, and was a sight of terrible grandeur. At this time the flames had only spread along the top storey of the mill fronting to Bengal-street ; but by 9 o'clock the greater portion of the entire premises had been reduced to a wreck. The origin of the; fire is not known, but Mr. Sykes's work people had been engaged at the mill till 10 o'clock the pre vious night, when all waz supposed to be left safe. The mills were full of very valu able spinning and other ma chinery, and the loss is estimated at £25,000, which is covered by insurances to a considerable amount in the Guardian and Manchester offices. THE PLYMOUTH MURDER.—The further exami nation of Robert Hacked for slmoting Sergeant Jones took place to-day, and resulted in his Jeing committed for trial by the magistrates. The coroner's jury have returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Ha:led. THE DUNDRY MURDER.—Justice has speedily overtaken the perpetrators of the brutal murdei of old Mrs. Waterman, the particulars of which appeared in 2 r:e Sun of yesterday. Two men, named Charles and Matthew Wed more, nephews of the deceased, were apprehended on Thurs • day night in the Hotwell-road, Bristol, by Superintendent Jones and Sergeant Morse, of the Somerset county eon stabnlary, and Police cons t a bles Perritt and Hughes, of the Bristol force. The fellows made a most determined resista!:t.e One of them fired a pistol at S er g eant Morse, but miss d which aim, and the other was armed with a similar w e apo f n, it. was taken from him before he had an opporv a it t y e o an using his The pistols have been identified by r ingethe possession_ of property, and also a watch which wastes° Matthew Wedmore on the day of his arrest. The old man also swears positively to the two prisoners as being the men by whom his wife was murdered and himself beaten and robbed. The two Wedmores were lodged for the night at the Clifton police-station, and yesterday morning they were conveyed to Bourton, and thence to Dundry, where Water man made a deposition in presence of Mr. Mordaunt, magis trate for the division. Early yesterday morning it was feared the old man was dying, and Mr. Shorland, surgeon, was summoned to attend him. That gentleman took about a pint of blood from the patient, which afforded relief, and he was able afterwards to give his eviden ce in presence of the prisoners with a firmness and distinctness which, con sidering the fearful injuries he has sustained, were marvel lous. The inquest was held before Mr. Bruges Fry, coro ner for North Somerset, at the Dundrylnn ; Mr. Valentine Gould, chief constable of -Somersetshire, Mr. O'Donoghue, clerk to the magistrates of the division, and several officers of the county constabulary and Bristol force were inattend ance. The room was thronged with spectators, and when the prisoners were brought in the crowd became excessive. The imirY was adjourned till Tuesday SIR CRARLES WOOD ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS. -- The Lord Mayor of York gave a banquet on Thursday, at which some of the magnates of U. county were present. Sir CHARLES WOOD also attended; and replied to the toast of her Majesty's Ministers. He said he might be :permitted, he hoped, with no undue pride, to refer to the success of those mea sures which, during their short tenure of office, they had been able to pass. In that county of York, where so much depended upon prosperity, and where agricultural prosperity depended upon that of manufacturers, he might, he hoped, refer to the success of those efforts for the opening of trade with our neighbours over the Channel, developing the sources of our manufacturing industry by open ing to them the markets of France. He had seed with satisfaction in recent returns the result of that measure; but he confessed that he considerol that the value of the treaty consisted more in the opening of intercourse between the two countries than in developing their industry. The greater their intercourse, the greater evil was the interrup tion of that intercourse, and he believed that in the extension of commerce, and in the interchange of productions, we should have the surest guarantee for those amicable relations upon which the peace of the two countries and the peace of Europe depended. (Cheers.) He believed that the exten sion of commerce was the best security for goodwill and peace among nations. That was the main object of the treaty of last year, and he believed that they had contributed to the progress of humanity and peace by that measure. But they were not, as his noble friend said, such warm advo cates of peace that they were unaware of the neces sity of being prepared for war, and nothing had been of greater importance than the measures of defence which had been taken for the country, pro posed by the Government and supported by the House of Commons and the people. (Cheers.) After those measures depending upon the regular forces of the country, nothing had been seremark able as the volunteer movement which had been alluded to. The movement was in its infancy when the present Ministry took office. Every pains had been taken to develope it in every part of the country, and he would wish to pay a just tribute to Lord de Grey and Ripon, who had done all he could to bring that movement to its present state of perfection. Now, owing to the voluntary and patriotic spirit of the country, we had a volunteer army little short in force of the regular army, whieh had placed this country in such a position as it had not occupied for years. (Cheers.) He was not one of those who ever anticipated much danger of seeing a hostile foot planted on English soil; but this he knew, that those who were alarmists were now reassured, and those who once talked of the possibility of invasion now looked upon it as an impossibility. (Cheers.) He would only further congratulate that meeting and the country on the termination of hostilities in China. He had been a member of two Govern ments which had been engaged in Chinese wars, and they had run some risk in maintaining what they believed to be the honour and interests of this country. In the first war the Government appealed to the country. The country decided they were right, and he trusted that he might now con gratulate the country upon having brought those hostilities to a final conclusion. Cruelty and , treachery had marked the conduct of the Chinese from first to last ; but the united skill and gallantry of our troops had exacted retribution for their Con duct, and had, he hoped, impressed upon them a lesson which would preserve uninterrupted our rela tions withtlthat country for some time to come. (Hear.) Hitherto some petty mandarin had dealt with the barbarians, and reported what he pleased to the Emperor ; but we had at last shown the supre macy of our power in the smoky ruins of the Emperor's palace, and had proved to the Emperor and the people that it was our forbearance alone that prevented the destruction of that empire. The Chinese could no longer treat us with insolent contempt ; and he trusted that they would respect the articles of that moderate treaty which had recently been agreed to. In all that concerned this country, at home and in our own immediate dependencies and relations, we com menced the year with tranquillity and prosperity. He wished he could say that in looking abroad the prosperity and tranquillity was as great. We had. sympathised with the efforts of the people of dif ferent parts of Italy to relieve themselves from the most grinding tyranny that ever existed, and we had admired their efforts to consolidate as it were their liberty. We had proclaimed aloud that no foreign interference ought to prevent the efforts of a people to win their liberty. He trusted the other Powers would act upon that principle, and that we should see that nation whose historical recollec tions were ao proud, vindicate for itself a place among the nations of Europe, and regain a portion of the glory which in former ages belonged to it. It was somewhat surprising, that whilst in Italy different people had been struggling for liberty and unity, on the other side of the Atlantic a great and free nation was abusing its liberty to effect a sepa ration of the Union. It seemed to him too early at present to look forward to what the issue of that straggle might be. All we could do was to express our hope that among a nation of kinsmen the soil might not bo polluted by civil intestine war and. bloodshed. Thank God we had removed some time ago the stain and curse of the slave trade, and the inhabitants of that bounty of York had taken no small part in effecting that triumph of humanity, which had been profitable to ourselves, as we might see by the example of those who had not done so. (Hear, hear.) In the last century Yorkshire returned one of the greatest champions for the abolition of slavery--Wilberforce—and on the last occasion when the united country sent members to Parlia ment, they returned another champion in the per son of Henry Brougham.
