'The cadets were then dismissed, and the different corps proceeded to enjoy the refreshments which were provided for them, and afterwards dis• persed about the palace and grounds, enjoying themselves like ordinary boys who had never heard the stern accents of a drill sergeant, until the bugle calls rallied them to their colours, in order that they might return to town with due military observance. In observing this body of some 800 youths, of ages varying from ten to sixteen, exhibiting so many of the qualities of trained soldiers, one could not help thinking that here were the elements for remedying some day one of the acknowledged deficiencies of our volunteer forces, namely, the want of skilled officers. It ought to be added that the bands of the Ist Surrey and South Middlesex Volunteers gave their services and that the playing of the drum and fife bands of the cadets was much commended.

Arrangements are in progress by the officers of the depot brigade, Royal Artillery, stationed at Sheerness, under tl e sanction of Lieut.-Col. Talbot, for providing the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery with a building to be used as a gymnasium, in which all kinds of athletic games may be carried on. Such establishments, wherever they may have been tried, have been found not only to afford gratification to the troops, but to diminish the number of offences, and thereby to im prove discipline. At present gymnastic exercises can only be practised at Sheerness out of doors, and hence the gymnasium is unavailable in wet weather. As a temporary arrangement, a barrack room has been allotted for the use of the troops, and classes are being formed for the instruction of the Royal Artillery in the broadsword exercise, singlestick, and fencing. The following appointments in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich we re y es t er day published, by the sub joined announcement to Major-Gen.

Yesterday a novel and very interesting spectacle was offered to the visitors at the Crystal Palace. It consisted of a review and field-day of a large body of cadets attached to several of the volunteer corps. By whomsoever projected, it was carried out with cumplete success. The Crystal Palace Company undertook to convey to and admit into their build- ing and grounds any number of cadets that might be brought together, and they allotted the area of the cricket ground for the evolutions of these "enfans des troupes." In pursuance of the arrange ments there appeared on the ground the following cadet companies, and in about the subjoined num bers :—The Queen's Westminster, 90; the London Rifle Brigade, 100 ; the South Middlesex, 120; the First Surrey, 46 ; the 33d Middlesex, 65 ; the ith Middlesex,so ; the 13th Kent. 50; the 21st Kent, 35 ; the 2d Tower Hamlets, 50 ; the 4th Tower Hamlets, 50 ; the 20th Middlesex, 90 ; the 29th Middlesex, 90 ; the 40th Middlesex, 36; and the Douro House School, St. John's-wood, 46; alto- gether, including a cadet brass band, and the cadet drum and fife bands of the different corps, there were above 900 youthful aspirants assembled. The force was under the command of Major Mayne, Ad.: jutant of the Queen's Westminster, who directed the evolutions which were performed. Soon after three o'clock the column was formed, and each corps marched on coverers placed right in front; after which coverers were thrown out in open column right in front, and the companies marched on their respective coverers, and wheeled left into line. This moveilent 'was made in a manner that evidently took the spectators by surprise, and was followed by a burst of, applause and clapping of hands whi c eltmust have been very encouraging to the young soldiers.- Open column was then formed, left in front, and the battalion wheeled left into line and halted. The line then advanced, and it is not too much to say that nothing could have been steadier, nor a better front kept than in this move ment, and again plaudits rang over the ground. The column then passed from the right of compa nies by fours to the rear, halted, and proceeded to form square on the leading company. This was done somewhat slowly, but apparently without confusion. The front ranks were selected from those of the corps who were provided with car- bines, the others having only side arms ; and although one missed the usual glitter and bristling of the bayonets, which were not in use, at a little distance and by a slight exercise of the imagination this body of youths seemed to have risen to the dimensions of men, and presented a front which cavalry (of the same size) would have hesitated to attempt to force. After some minor manoeuvres, the battalion deployed, formed open column in rear of the left company, wheeled into line, and advanced with still greater regularity and steadiness, if pos sible, than before, the time in marching being admirably kept. Having formed quarter distance column on the right centre company, advanced and wheeled to the left, the battalion countermarched by subdivisions round the centre, a movement which tried the training of the cadets, but which they performed exceedingly well ; and having de ployed on a central division, line was again smartly formed and advanced at quick time ; the cadet brass band, of which mention has been made above, playing in the most spirited and enlivening manner. This was the longest advance in line, in point of duration, that was made, and was decidedly the best executed ; the appearance of the force, as it moved forward, eliciting the most enthusiastic cheers from the by-standers. The battalion then formed quarter distance column right in front in double quick time, with excellent effect. The crowning effort of the day then took place—namely, the marching past in columns of companies—which was gone through in a way that would have made the Guards stare ; and which must have gladdened the hearts of those drill-mas ters and officers of the different corps, who watched and assisted in the proceedings of the day with palpable care and interest. Of course it must be understood that here and there in companies little mistakes were made, and there were instances of individual blundering, which were soon set right by the zealous instructors present, who seemed to be endowed with übiquity, and always to be at hand to remedy failings ; but as a whole, and speak ing of battalion movements, they were all executed in a manner to excite at once surprise and admira tion. It should be said that all the eompanies are officered by cadets, who girded to, rather than with, swords of portentous length, hovered about their respective charges with great activity, and their boy voices were heard giving the company words of co mmand in capital style. At the conclusion of the ev olutions the battalions formed square, and Major Mayne addressed the young volunteers in a brief but stirring speech. He expressed his gratification at the idea of a cadet review having been carried out, and said that he was sure that those gentlemen who had projected it must have felt themselves amply rewarded for the pains and trouble they had taken in the matter by what they had that day witnessed. He stated to the cadets that, as a whole, the capability they had displayed reflected the utmost credit on their instructors and on their own assiduity and attention to their drill; and although the young officers and non-commissioned officers who had charge of the companies were not accustomed to battalion drill, and could not be ex pected to be perfect in their understanding of that part of their duty, yet they had conducted them selves surprisingly well. He would venture to say that there were some volunteer corps, who did not think a little of themselves, who were nothing to be compared in officering to the body of youths which he had that day had the honour of commam ing. He hoped that this review of cadets would be followed by others, and if there was no other per son who could undertake the direction of them, he would be heartily willing to give his services again. He called on the corps to give three c heers for their instructors and for those gentlemen who at some trouble and expense had been instrumental, in the ( THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1861 THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND• The following letter appears in a contemporary , dated Canterbury, New Zealand, March 19 : " My dear A—,—After our successful struggle to defeat the Bid of last Session for the manage ment of native affairs, you will be anxious to hear something from me as to the state of the question at present. It is true my opinion will not carry much weight with those who think that an - inti mate acquaintaince with Maori language, customs, and traditions is essential to any power of govern ing or criticizing the government of a native race. I appeal against this idea, because human nature is much the same, in all savage races, and because our Maori authorities here have truly done nothing—absolutely not propounded an idea, much less enunciated a system for the government of the natives. I have, however, read all the important facts of the case, and have had the opportunity of conversing with three of the present Ministers and others on the subject of this miserable war ; and certainly, with the strongest disposition to believe that everything done by Governor-General Gore Browne and my old friends Mr. Tancred and Mr. Weld is right, I can only express my sorrow and dismay at the complicated folly and wickedness of the present war. I daresay you have paid suffi cient attention to the case to know the immediate cause of the outbreak. Teira wants to sell a piece of land, only 600 acres, to the Crown ; other natives, who do not deny Teira's individual title to the laud, assert their having a sufficient interest to entitle them to say he shall not sell his land without their consent. The Governor asserts his right to buy the land, and, when the natives try to occupy the land by force, endeavours to seize it by force. But to determine the policy of this act, we must look fur ther round and to remoter causes. It is not this miserable patch of land at the Waitara which has brought in the noble tribes of the Waikato, or which is gradually sucking in the whole native race of New Zealand in a deadly hatred against the Gover nor to join in a combined resistance to the Queen's authority. It is now some three or four years ago that two distinct movements arose in the native mind —one, ' The Land League ;' the other, The King Movement.' The former had for its object a combination of all the native chiefs of the Northern Island to prevent the alienation of any more land to Europeans, or at least to the Crown. The latter attempted to set up a Maori king to rule over the Maori race. The two movements were the emana tion of the same feeling in the native mind—a growing consciousness of the decay of their race, and a sense of the fact that their lands were the only means left of holding their own against the European. All the authorities witness to a most remarkable desire having arisen in the native mind for something like social and politi cal institutions—some civil organisation which should save the race from extinction. Now this re markable state of mind in a savage race is, so far as I know, unprecedented ; and the first most important fact to be noticed is that it was from the first re garded with hostility by the Governor and the Native Department. It is quite painful to read the despatches of Governor Browne on this subject, and most difficult to understand how men who pretended to understand and guide the native mind could stand ' idly and stupidly gazing at the menacing meteor which blackened all the horizon,' and should have regarded that with dislike and fear which they ought at once to have seized as the hope and pro mise of new life for this noble and gallant race. They ought to have welcomed this longing for social order as the signal for the most strenuous efforts to introduce some sort of government among the Maoris. You are no doubt not aware, as lam sure the English generally are not, that what we have actually done for the natives amounts to almost nothing. There is nothing in the shape of law or government throughout the greater part of the North Island. The Queen's writ will not run, nor would any magistrate attempt to issue a writ in the greater part of the native districts. There is no power to stop, nor any attempt to stop,, native wars or native murders. And the only law isAhe law of the old native justice of revenge, modified by the local and personal influence of the resident mission aries. Now, I say the remarkable rise of these leagues among the natives indicated a longing for a higher species ofjustice, which the English Govern ment ought to have hailed and sprung at as the occasion for extending English law and social dis- cipline. " Now, I urge this point on you because when the Government is anxious to prove that the struggle is not a land question, but a question of the Queen's supremacy, it should be known that the Queen's supremacy was really little under stood, and indeed had no existence. We have sub mitted to the Queen's supremacy being disputed and insulted in every way. We never interfered when our old ally, Rawin, was murdered for mea suring out land which he had sold to the Crown. On the contrary, the acting Governor actually shook hands with Katalow, his murderer. Again, we did not interfere when Katalow was murdered ; on the contrary, his murderer is the right hand man of the army at Taranaki at this moment—so I hear. We stood by unmoved when old Potatu was elected King, and never intimated that such a step was an invasion of the rights of the Crown. But the moment the case is one in which our inte rests aro affected—a question of whether we shall have land or not—then, for the first time, we awake to a sense of the importance of the Queen's supre macy, and make war to assert our loyalty and pro tect our pockets. " Looking back, therefore, to the origin, not of the war itself, but of the state of the native mind, which has resulted in war, I can but lament over the sad feebleness and incompetence which have landed us in a position out of which war was the only honourable egress. You must clearly realise this, that the land quarrel at the Waitara is a mere hook on which the war hangs, all the tribes and chiefs flocking now into the war, for it is painfully true now that there is every likelihood of its be coming general ; they all care nothing about the mere Waitara question. The root of the matter is that the Governor has persuaded them during the last few years that it cares nothing for them ; that the Governor is for the European, and the Maori may die out and get out of the way as soon as he likes. It is indisputable that that is the conviction on the native mind, and so he says, with mournful gallantry—' It is a good death to die on the field of battle,' better that than see his race rot away. I cannot say how, but I do say that is the result of Governor Browne's policy ; and yet this war has shown that the Maori possesses every noble virtue which should have rendered war impossible by ren dering him fit to amalgamate with the higher race —love of race, love of country, undeniable courage, perseverance, endurance, and great intelligence. One cannot but feel that as countrymen one ought to be proud of them; but if we had really joined them to us they would be better defenders to the island than a host of English troops. As labourers and consumers they would be equivalent to 50,000 immigrants. And I am quite certain that these natives might have been united and civilised easier and more cheaply than they will be conquered or destroyed. You will ask me What remedy ?' I say, Make peace, if peace can be made on honourable terms.' You say, On what terms ?' First,l say this war ought to be removed from the mise;able Waitara quarrel. The Government here has never explained its policy to the natives. For all it has ever said is, as soon as it has got this dirty little 600 acres and fortified it the war ought to be at an end on one side. But the state of affairs would justify in mwaokuilndgstahy, , I the war offerthe oc casionyou u peace or war. If peace , I gi v e yo u the power of m a k making g ot fh l laws largews in Governme nt y p o o ricy. I own districts as the Europeans do in theirs. You shall have native provinces, with native Governments; and if you choose to prohibit the sale of land to the Europeans, you shall have full power to do so; your laws, likethe Europeans, being subject to veto by the Governor. But you shall agree to have law—English law—administered through the whole districts, and magistrates ap pointed? who shall execute justice. But on the other hand, if war, then we no longer fight as if we were beating the air. By your own laws the conquered party forfeits his lands. By English law subjects who make war on the Queen forfeit their property. Any tribe found in arms against the Queen will forfeit all its lands.; we will take them, and drive out the natives, and, if necessary, exterminate them. To fight about these lands first and buy them after wards is an absurdity.' Above all, I believe it ab solutely necessary to change that abominable policy of making the Government the sole purchaser of lands from the natives. Whenever it is proposed to allow individuals to buy from the natives directly, the answer always is, ' The native titles are so com plicated that disputes and wars would result.' The answer is complete—the natives never have disputed the titles to land sold or given by them to the old settlers, while the Government system has twice landed us in a native war. The system of individual purchase could not act more unfortunately than the Government system. The evils of the present sys tem are manifold. Foremost, the Government is mainly known to the natives, not as the symbol of power and honour and social law and order, but as a touter for land. The Commissioner, who is the representative of Government, is always going about the country, poking his nose into every na tive dispute, in the hope that it may result in his being able to buy some land of them. And so the attitude of Government towards the natives is that of a perpetual suppliant for land. Again, the Go vernment is trying to buy this land for pertce per acre, and selling it for shillings and pounds an acre. The natives are most justly dissatisfied with this, and think it odd and hard that the European Go vernment shall get their land and the greatest part of its price at the same time. Of course there is an explanation of this, but what I am saying is, it is not one patent or satisfactory to the native mind. Again, and this is the feature of the Waitara case, where the Government is the purchaser and the native the seller, where is the court or arbitrator, or third independent party, in case of dispute ? This is exactly the position the Crown ought to fill, and cannot fill. If individuals bought land of the na tives, getting a Crown grant of course when the purchase was complete, the Governor would occupy the position of being arbitrator in the case, and of standing by and seeing fair play. I can see no difficulty in having courts for the purpose of inves tigating and allowing all such sales, and registering them; and if the natives were, as they ought to be, truly represented in such courts, you would hear no more of Land Leagues and King Movements. I venture to suggest, then, the remedies for New Zealand. First, native provinces, with a govern ment by chiefs and councils, with a European resi dent at each government, something similar to the residents at the Indian Courts ; these governments to have the disposal of the lands, and the land funds, if any, Secondly, the direct sales of land to Europeans, with courts, partly native, to investi gate and register such sales and issue Crown grants. Thirdly, the establishment of native ma gistrates' courts to administer the law, with a small military force, if necessary. I will notice one fea ture in this policy which would make it palatable to the European, and would probably obtain it the assent of the Assembly. I think many English who are well known to the natives, and liked by them, would go and settle in the far interior of the country, and would buy land there, so that in time the whole island would be dotted over by English settlers, and the race would become gradually but rapidly mixed, and the native provinces' would gradually become European. That process which went on all round the New Zealand coasts when the old whalers and settlers lived on the closest terms of friendship with the Maoris would go on in every pah in the country. The operation of the present law is to maintain a barrier between the two races. Sound policy would aim at amalgama ting them. " But, to come down to the present war. I am not satisfied of its justice or its policy. First, of its justice. The validity of the purchase is doubtful. It is by no means certain that the tribe and the chiefs have not such an interest in land as to pro hibit the sale even where the title is admitted to belong to an individual. At all events, there was a case of doubt, and it is solved by the purchaser by brute force, not by any independent Court. That is very foreign to my notions of justice. Secondly, 1 am not satisfied that, pending the time when British law is actually introduced into any part of the island, the natives have not a right to make laws and regulations for themselves. It is not sufficient to proclaim English law. It must be actually introduced. The most similar case I know of is that of Ireland. For centuries after the nomi nal introduction - of English law, the Brehon law practically was the law of the land over a great portion of the island. Here we allow Maori custom and law full rule. We allow of the justice of revenge, of open murder, right enough under Maori law, and do not interfere, showing that English law has never been intro duced. Now, if this be so, lam not satisfied that the chiefs of the tribes, or of clusters of tribes, have not power to make a rule restraining the in dividuals of the tribe from alienating their lands. Is it, then, ever right to raise up these devils of war in a ease admittedly doubtful? If war is always a sad remedy even in the best of causes, surely in a doubtful case like this it becomes a dreadful crime. But as a matter of policy it was not necessary. We all know how fluctuating are the natives in these matters. The 600 acres, which will cost the British nation now about £2,000 or £3,000 an acre, might have been bought next year, perhaps for a tenth part of as many farthings, and the work of civilisa tion remained unimpeded. I should go down to the grave with a heavy heart had I made such a war in such a cause. " But, above all chsnge of policy, let us do away with this abomination of allowing the Governor to manage native affairs. Can you believe for a mo ment that, if the Assembly had had uncontrolled power in native affairs, and had to pay the whole of the expenses, this wicked war would ever have hap pened ? It is most amazing to me how the English can for one instant stand the intolerable grievance of allowing a Governor on a distant station to ex tract one or two millions of money out of their pockets at his own caprice. Do we govern the na tive policy, or do you? If we I venture to say we would not allow the Gover nor one sixpence until we had counted the cost, and unless he had consulted the Assembly befor e he dra gg ed it into a war. If you do really direct the native policy, why don't you compel your Governor to write home for instructions before taking the step which in duces the war? But you let him do that which is actually a commencement of war at his own dis cretion. He gets the British flag insulted, and then you are compelled to avenge the insult. The Go vernor ought to have written home distinctly and said, The military occupation of the Waitara will lead to a war costing two or three millions ; shall I occupy it or not ?' While, then, you must in justice pay for this war, it would serve us right to make us pay for it. The whole colony is for war, war, war. But really their voices go for nothing unless they are aware at the time of voting that they will pay for it. It is a cheap way of being very gal lant and warlike when poor Tom, Jack, and Harry, already overburdened with taxes at home, have to pay the bill. I should be curious to see the faces of the House of Representatives if a new Governor announced to them that they might do as they liked about native affairs, but that no further funds would be forthcoming from home. And, indeed, to take higher grounds, I mourn over the youth of this nation, which can by no possibility lead to great ness. War—that great ordeal of Providence for culling out the weeds among nations—war is close to our doors, and with it none of its discipline or its benefits. Somebody else is fighting, norwe ; some body else pays, not we. It is our cause, but we fight by proxy, and pay by deputy ; truly, if we become great we shall have been rocked and dandled into power." THE NAVY. In consequence of the great draught of the iron plated frigate Defence, 22, it is found necessary to remove a portion of the stonework in the third dock at Chatham, in which she is to be placed, in order that depth enough may be obtained to float her. The Defence will remain lashed to the floating shears in Chatham harbour until her masts are put in. This, however, will be delayed for about a week, as although her topmasts, yards, and other gear have been some time ready at Chatham, these can not be fitted until the arrival of her lower masts, which are of iron, from the Thames Ironworks. Her Majesty's screw steamship Collingwood, 84, got np steam yesterday for the second time, for the purpose of testing her machinery, in the steam basin at Sheerness, after being subjected to water pressure. Her engines' were found to work in a most satisfactory manner, no defect whatever being observable. By those who witnessed the trial, the machinery, which is of a novel description, is con sidered to be the most perfect and compact that has been introduced into use. The Niger, Capt. Cracroft, from the Australian station, has dismantled in Woolwich basin, and will be paid off to-morrow morning. Capt. Cra croft, before leaving New Zealand, was presented with a testimonial by the people of Auckland, in acknowledgment of their estimation of the high and valuable services which he and his ship's com pany had rendered to the colony. The Niger's crew, since their return to Woolwich, and especially yesterday, when they were allowed to receive their friends on board, have conducted themselves ex tremely well, it heing remarked on all hands that a better disciplined ship has never entered Wool wich basin. Directions have been received at Chatham for 15 of the large 100-pounder Armstrong guns to be im mediately mounted on the centre and No. 1 bastions at the entrance to the Medway, in lieu of the smooth bored guns of lighter calibre with which those de fences are at present armed. The Armstrong gnns to be mounted on the centre bastion will command the Channel approaches to the Thames and Medway as far as the light placed at the Groat Nore, a dis tance of rather more than three miles. The 100- pounders ordered to be mounted on No. 1 bastion will flank the fire of those in the centre bastion, and sweep the face of the fortifications to a considerable distance. As soon as the Armstrong guns have all been placed in position, they will add materially to the already very imposing and heavily armed line of defences existing at the entrance to the Medway, which, taking into account its difficult navigation, will be rendered almost impassable to hostile vessels. In addition, however, to the present defences, the projection known as Cheyney Rock has been se lected by the Government as the site of a powerful casemated battery. This rock is situate at a distance of little over 2,000 yards from the right of the pre sent works, and by position is admirably adapted for the purposes to which it will be applied. As soon as the works in progress are completed, the sea de fences on the eastern shore will consist of an almost impregnable stronghold, mounting rather more than 150 guns. All of these will eventually be Armstrongs, crossing each other's fire at varying angles of elevation and depression, the whole having a complete command of the narrow channel, and bearing on every point at which a fleet could an chor or take up a threatening position. In addi- tion to the fortifications which defend the eastern shore of the channel, the passage of the Medway will be rendered still more secure by the casemated batteries which are now in course of erection at Garrison-point, the armament of which will consist of guns of the heaviest calibre. Extensive fortifi catious are also in course of construction on the op posire shore of the Medway at the Isle of Grain, which will add still further to the security of the dockyard and other naval establishments at Chat ham. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. J. F. Prowse, to the Malacca ; Lieut. N. B. Smith, to the Nile ; A. Gillies, supernumerary in the Asia, promoted to engineer ; William A, Houghton, in the Dee, promoted to first-class assist.-engineer ; George Quick, addi tional in the Asia, for the Bullfinch, confirmed as second-class assistant-engineer. Edward Phillips Statham has been nominated to a naval cadetship. THE ARMY. A general regimental order of the Royal Artil lery, signed by Col. C. Bingham, Deputy Adjutant- General, was received at Chatham garrison yester day from the Horse Guards, announcing that vari ous removals of the head-quarters of brigades have been ordered to be carried out on the 171 h inst.:-- The 4th brigade is to be removed from Woolwich to Aldershott, the Bth brigade from Aldershott to Dublin, and the 9th brigade from Dublin to Shorn cliffe. The following removals of batteries have been ordered :—A and B batteries, Royal Horse Artillery, from Aldershott to Woolwich; No. 11 battery, depot brigade, from Aldershott to Wool wich; Nos. 2,6, and 7 batteries, Bth brigade, from Aldershott to Irelane. ; No. 4 battery, Bth brigade, from Ireland to Chatham ; No. 7 battery, 9th bri gade, from Ireland to Canterbury; No. 8 battery, 9th brigade, from Ireland to Walmer (detaching two guns to Canterbury); and N 0.2 battery,loth brigade, fromWoolwich to Shoebnryness (on the arrival of the head-quarters at Woolwich). The exchange of bat teries between Lieut. Parlby, 6th brigade, and Lieut. Porter, 3d brigade, has been cancelled for a substi tution between Lieut. Porter, 3d brigade, and Lieut. Strahan, 6th brigade. Lieut.-Col. Graydon, 15th brigade, has been ordered from Ireland to Pem broke Dock to do duty with the headquarters of his brigade. Lieut. J. E. Cockburn, 14th brigade, has been appointed aide-de-camp to Brigadier-General Showers, C. 8., commanding the Calcutta division of the Bengal Presidency. The following notifications, in the shape of a general regimental order, were also received at Chatham yesterday : " Her Majesty has been pl e ased to approve of Col. A. Tulloh, Royal A r till ery ,' h av i ng the local rank of Major- General, while holding the appointment of Director-Gene ral of Ordnance. Also of Col. G. Maclean being placed as a Colonel on the Staff of the army while commanding the Royal Artillery at Malta. " A code of instructions for the working and management of portable cupolas having been printed for the guidance of the Royal Artillery, officers commanding are informed that a copy, accompanied by two drawings, will be su ppli e d f o r each cupola by the principal superintendent of stores at Woolwich; and, these being confidential documents, it is directed that they be kept locked up. Whenever cupolas are demanded in future, copies of the instructions and drawings, in the proportion stated above, are also to be included. A 100-pounder Armstrong gun having been approved, it has been sealed as a pattern to govern supplies. Cartridges, to hold the following quantities of powder have been ap proved as patterns to govern supplies-121b. for 100-poun der Armstrong guns, and 51b. for 40-pounder ditto. The following bursting charges for the shells named below have also been approved, and are to be contained in any bags of sufficient size to hold the specified quantities of L. G. pow der, it being considered unnecessary to seal patterns at pre sent :-100 pounder segment shell, 31b ; 100-pounder com mon shell, 81b. ; 40 -pounder ditto, 2ilb. ; 25-pounder ditto, 11b. The 121 b. cartridge for the 100-pounder Arm strong gun has been provisionally approved for use with 100 .pounder solid shot. A case having recently occurred of a 10 0-pounder common shell bursting in the gun in consequence of only 41b. of powder having been used as the bursting charge, officers commanding Royal Artillery are directed that under no circumstances are shells from r ifled guns to be fired with less than the authorised bursting charges. The following solid shot have been provisionally sealed as patterns to govern supplies ;—.lOO-pounder leaded THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. Reports are being daily received by the Masons' Strike Committee from the various country jobs, that the men have ceased working, in compliane,, with the instructions of their executive council, au(' delegates are still occupied in visiting the larger and more distant jobs, to see that the resolution is properly carried out. They report that the whole of them will be stopped by Saturday next. The masters, in the meantime, have not been idle, and agents have been despatched round the country to see the men, and induce them to remain at work. Mr. Myers personally visited his works at Netley Hospital on Saturday last, and having called the masons together addressed them at great length, offering them, if they would remain at work, and leave the society, a two years' engagement, Gd. per day extra, and the privilege of leaving work at one o'clock on Saturday. The men said they would go on as usual if he would withdraw the hour system from the London men, but on no other condition. On Tuesday Mr. Joseph Myers visited the men, and declined to ratify the offer made by IVIr. Myers, sen., on the ground that, if it was given to the masons the other workmen would require it. The result was, that the whole of the masons, 70 in number, with but one or two exceptions, left the works and removed their tools. At the Box works of Myers also, where the soft stone used by the firm in London and elsewhere is cut and prepared, every man has ceased to work. At Mr. Trollope's job at Kenilworth, employing about 20 masons, Mr. Bennett, an agent of the firm, visited the men, offering them extra pay and other privileges to remain at work, but the men all left, saying, " When Mr. Trollope had arranged with his London masons, they would resume work on the same terms on which they had been em ployed. The Bristol Executive Council have informed the London committee that it is their determination to defeat the hour system at any amount of pecu niary cost. A levy will, if necessary, be placed on all members working, which it is calculated, will produce about £3OO per week, and this, it is ex pected, with the strike pay and grants of money promised by other societies, will yield funds amply sufficient to provide for all the men withdrawn from work for some months to come. The bricklayers are also about to throw their weight into the scale in favour of the masons, and their strike committee are about concentrating their efforts upon three of the largest jobs in London, where the withdrawal of these men will necessitate the stoppage of the masons who have been obtained by the employers in place of the men on strike. Unless therefore some conciliatory measures are adopted at the meeting of the master builders, to be held this day, there is every prospect of this protracted struggle continu ing for some time longer, and accompanied by a greater irritation of feeling than has yet existed. THE TRAGEDY ON BOARD THE BARQUE CZARINA. The Boston (U.S.) Traveller has the following account of the fearful tragedy enacted on board the ship Czarina, while on a recent voyage from Cron stadt to that port : " The captain hired at Queenstown, on big out ward voyage, an Irishman named John Cotter, as first mate. This man was reprimanded by Captain Dwyer, on the 15th of July last, for the bad condition of the vessel. After that nA more trouble of consequence occurred intil two days before the murder, when a disp;te took place in the cabin, resulting in the throwing of a plate at the captain by Crotter, which inflicted a wound upon his head. On the night of July 30 Crotter was seen to go down into the captain's cabin. It afterwards appeared that he had murdered the captain with an axe as he was sleeping in his berth. He then put on some of the captain's clothes, and took his money, went on deck again at 4 a.m. and murdered the second mate, probably with the same weapon. During the day the crew, finding Crotter was a murderer, agreed to kill him. Giving a pledge each to each to stand by the other, they commenced the attack on the next day, July 31. Crotter, however, was not in the humour to submit, and as the crew came around he produced a pair of revolvers. The attack and defence which followed were of the most desperate character. The carpenter, who made a pass at Crotter, was shot and thrown overboard by him. The boy at the wheel threw the carpenter a rope, which he caught, but Crotter, upon perceiving it, cut it, and the carpenter soon after sank. Another man then approached, who was shot at by Crotter, but at the moment the former jumped up suddenly, and the ball lodged in the shoulder of a Russian passenger, Mr. Alexander Treskefsky. At this time one of the crew, who had an adze in his hand for self-defence, struck Crotter a severe blow in the shoulder, which somess hat cowed the murderer. It soon appeared that this wound was mortal, and he was placed in a boat on deck, where after several hours of horrible raving he died. The mate, after killing the captain, destroyed all the papers. Crotter had been on the coast of Cali fornia, and he often bragged of the murders he had committed among the Chinamen there. His design probably was to take the vessel close to the shore at some appropriate place, set it on fire, and abandon it. With this view he had loaded a boat on deck with the captain's valuables and other property." The state ment of one of the crew, an Indian, is still more extraordinary. It is as follows :—" On the 30th July I went to the wheel at four in the morning. Saw soon after the second mate drunk. Saw the mate with bottle and cup. He got the second mate drunk, so that he was speechless. Afterwards he was quiet. Soon after the mate called a man named John to come aft. Heard John singing out. Looked. overboard, and saw him, with a cut on his head., swimming. I sang out to the men, A man over board,' and threw the spanker sheet to John, and he got hold of it. He cut the spanker sheet with a hatchet, saying to the man, Go to with the captain.' The man swam behind twenty minutes. The mate, with a revolver in hand, ordered the carpenter and a Swede to throw overboard the second mate, who was on ti Le deck bleeding. He Swam about 15 minutes. Tt Le mate stood on the house laughing at him. The yea sel was going about two miles an hour. He then looked at me and told me net to be afraid, as he was not going to hurt me yet. The remainder of the watch were on deck at the time. He cut at one!, and he escaped; he cut at another, and struck him on th,ct back. Told the carpenter he did not want to hurt him then. The carpenter went forward. He told all hands to get down on deck the largest boat. Got chains up for ballast. He told me he was going to leave the ship and set her on fire ; said the crew might go to with her ; told me he was going to take me, the steward, and two men; told another man that he I should not take me and steward. In the morning he called all hands, and said he was captain of the ship, and that the first man who disobeyed his orders he would immediately put a ball through. He told me to go to work. We worked upon the boat. At two o'clock told us to throw the captain overboard. He lay in berth, with head out and brains protrud ing. I sewed him up in bed-clothes, and we threw him overboard. In the evening he called all hands aft, and put us in irons. Left one man to look after the vessel. Let out men at different times, two at a time, to relieve the watch. On the morning of the 31st%saw a vessel coming up to us; he ordered all hands to make sail to get away, we made sail and got out of sight of her. That afternoon, at two o'clock, I saw the mate running forward, the carpenter hav ing struck him with a top-maul. He shot at the carpenter, who ran forward and jumped over the bow, and hung upon the chains. He shoved his head up and the mate shot at him ; h e then wen t overboard. The mate ran aft, and one of the men e struck him on the head with a hammer er down adz. e w He lived till seven o'clock. I put the w heel to save the carpenter, but could not s e e him.
