THE NEW ZEALAND DIPPICUThe Maories were petted and pampered as a wrong e d People, and allowed to play at having a king. The result has verified the pro phecies of the colonists, who have been lately most u n j us tl y charged by members of the Church party with f ostering the very movement they alone condemned. It has been asserted that they desire the extermination of the native race, than which nothing could be more opposite to their feelings and even self-interest. It is the colonist who would gladly throw down the barrier, kept up by the clergy, and treat the Maori as a brother-subject of a glorious constitu tion, and this is what the Protection Society so vehemently oppose. The Maori would then be absorbed in the flood of emigrations; his nation would become an historical relic, his language a dead letter. The whole policy of keeping them a distinct people would be rendered vain, and the in calculable labour and expense the missionaries had been at, by translating the Scriptures, unnecessary. So, according to the missionaries, the Maori must have separate laws, language, and rights.—Once a Week. According to the Augsburg Gazette the Prussian Government seriously contemplates reforming the Chamber f Nobles, " which, as at present constituted," says that journal, " has not been, and never will be anything else than an embarrassment tn all legislative action in the spirit of constitutional progress, instead of being a moderating power."

THE):::SUN, t ;‘,II,ONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1861.':" POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. Samuel Cooke, lately employed as keeper of the Com missionaire Barracks, Exchange-court, Strand, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with embezzling three sums of money received by him for work performed by members of the corps. On the former occasion prisoner was remanded for the attendance of Captain Walter, from whom he said he had received authority to spend what money he required. Captain Walker said—l have command of the Corps of Commissionaires. The prisoner entered the corps, and shortly after he was entrusted, during temporary absence of Sergeant-Major Platt, with receiving money, which he would afterwards have to account either to myself or Platt. I find he has received three sums of money which he has not at all accounted for. Sergeant Murphy—The money received by the prisoner was for the delivery of circulars. Captain Walter—Those sums ought to have been paid over to Sergeant Platt. Mr. Henry—Has he accounted to you for the money so received ? Captain Walter—He has not, and I can't find any entry of those three items ever having been paid in. The pri soner was allowed the basement of the bariacks rent free, and received a small fee from each man. He received from that source about eleven shillings, and seven shillings a week for extra duty. He was without the slightest doubt a paid servant. He received the seven shillings a week for the office duty he performed. He had other privileges, which altogether gave him a very good salary. Prisoner—Did you not give me authority to spend what money I required, and did you not lend me £lO to go on with. Captain Walker certainly not. I lent you £lO to enable you to take the barracks of Sergeant Davis. Prisoner—l've paid the £lO into the Westminster Bank. Captain Walter—You have paid that sum in as rent. If not, then you have paid no rent at all, and there is aboutMs due from you on that account. Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—The charge against you is for receiving three sums of money, and not accounting for them to Sergeant Murphy. Prisoner—l say they are all entered, but not in Murphy's book. Capt. Walter gave me authority to spend whatever money I required. Mr. Henry—Capt. Walter distinctly states he did nothing of the sort. The authority you was had to spend barrack money for necessaries, but that was a totally distinct thing from money received from customers for duties performed. Prisoner—ls it at all likely that I, a woun 'ed soldier, with ls. 34. per diem, should abscond for a small sum of money ? Why, it would not have been worth my while to do so for £lOO. It would have been an act of madness. Mr. Henry—There's no doubt you did abscond. And as to the questions you ask me, you can put them to the jury. Prisoner—l went away for the day. I did not abscond. Captain Walter had gone into the country, and as there was a dispute, I knew it would be of no use speaking to anybody until he returned. Captain Walter—l did not go into the country until after you absconded. Mr. Blandford, cashier to Mr. Metchim, of Parliament street, proved the payment of £1 on the 22d of July. Mr, Henry—There is no entry of the sum in any book. Sergeant Platt—Nahing of the kind. Prisoner—All I can say is, that is all the money I have received. Police-constable 49 F—When I apprehended the pri soner he said he was sorry he left the barracks. That he was getting drunk and did not like to return. Prisoner—l deny absconding; and as for the sums in dispute, I will pay them by instalments. I never intended to embezzle any money. The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

DAMAGING PROPERTY AT A TAVERN.—Two grooms named William Ashby and Ensor Clark were charged as follows : Mr. Warren, of the Running Horse, Chapel-street, May fair, said that the previous night the two defendants and a third man came into his house and were served with some porter. They then left, and returned in half an hour intoxi cated and created a great disturbance, got up a fight, smashed some decanters, upset a quantity of spirits, and did damage to the amount Pc nearly £3. He then got the assistance of the police and gave them into cust o dy. One of the defendants said it was all done by accident, but Mr. Warren denied this. Mr. Beadon said the defendants had no right to go into a man's house, create a disturbance, and then destroy his property. He should order them $ pay 30s. each (the amount fixed as the damage by Mr. Warren) or be committed for a month. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of Eng lish wheat were very moderate. In both red and white qualities sales progressed steadily, and late rates were well supported. _ The supply of foreign wheat was by no means extensive, and the trade, for all descriptions, ruled firm, at fully pre vious quotations. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands freely, at ex treme currencies. For barley, the supply of which was limited, there was a steady demand, and in some instances prices had an up ward tendency. The malt trade was in a rather inactive state, yet no change took place in prices. Oats moved off steadily, at the full prices of Monday. The supply on offer was only moderate. With both beans and peas we were scantily supplied, and the quotations for them ruled firm. All kinds of flour were in steady request, and their value was well maintained. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whelt.

Bonardiol, accompanied by several French engineers, proceeded to the Isthmus 1 of Darien for the purpose of surveying the route for a ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They ascended the Savana river for ithirteen miles, and the Lara for nine, and had arrived at the Chuquanaqua, when they were compelled to return by the heavy rains. They met with no opposition from the Indians, and report very favourably of the line, the highest elevation they crossed being 150 metres. M. Bo nardiol and assistants have arrived in New York on their way back to France, and will return to the isthmus in December to complete the survey. The above route, from the Gulf of San Miguel to Caledonia Harbour or Port Escoces, via the Savana, Lara, Chuquanaqua, and Sucubti rivers, lis familiar to the public from the writings of Dr. Edward Cullen, who discovered it in 1849. It, was imperfectly surveyed in 1854 by a British, French, and American expedition, sent out at his instance, to assist the engineers of the Atlantic and Pacific Junction Company. It will be recollected that Mr. Gisborne, the engineer-in -chief of that company, y on his return, in April, 1854, reported that a tunnel three miles in length would be necessary, upon which the compa n y was imme diately dissolved. Five months afterwards, how ever, viz., in September, 1854, the Admiralty published tl,e survey of Caledonia Harbour and Port Escoces, by Commander Parsons, o f her Majesty' s survey i ng s hi p S corp i on, in which a valley is plainly laid down immediately to the west of th e mountain which Mr. Gisborne said should b e t unnelled. This valley is precisely in the position assigned to it five years be fore by Dr. Cullen, who offered to guide Mr. Gisborne to it. That gentle man , h owever, so totally disbelieved its existence that he never took the trouble to search for it. After the return of the expedition, re znfecta. Dr. Cullen applied to the British, French, and American governme nt f or a renewed survey, founding his demand upon the facts set forth in his pamphlet, entitled "The Mis managed Darien Expedition." At Paris he sub mitted bis maps and plans, together with Parsons' survey, to the Emperor, who examined them, and referred the qu e stion t o a commission of the Corps des Ponts et Chaussees. That commission gave the Emperor a most favourable opinion o! the practicability of the canal without a tunnel. Owing, however, to the continual wars in Europe and elsewhere since 1854, the matter lay in abeyance until October, 1859, when Dr. Cullen, on his return from Bogota, had a third audience with the Emperor, who declared his decided convic tion of the practicability of the canal and his deter mination to cut it. Hence the expedition of M. Bonardiol and assistants. A BEGGAR BOY SHOT BY A YOUNG WOMAN. The sitting magistrates at the West Riding Court, Bradford, wereyesterday (Thursday) engaged in investigating a charge of manslaughter against a young woman named Nancy Wood, daughter of Mr. Jacob Wood, a respectable dairy farmer living at Bolton-fold, near Bradford. The case was of a singular and peculiarly painful character. The prisoner, who is descrined as an industrious and well-conducted person, lived with her father and mother, and besides assisting in household duties worked as a dressmaker. Her age is 22 years. On Wednesday evening last, between 5 and 6 o'clock, she was at home with some children, when a youth of weak intellect named John Henry Fieldhouse, a pertinacious beggar from Bradford, entered the kitchen and asked for drink. Some coffee was given to him by a little boy, the prisoner's brother, after which the mendicant demanded bread. The pri soner ordered him to go away, but he did not do so, whereupon she took down a single barrelled fowling-piece belonging to an elder brother, which had been placed across a kreel used in drying oat-en cakes, and pointed the gun towards the deceased, who had then, been in the house about 10 minutes. At that moment Mrs. Wood, the prisoner's mother, entered' the house with two cans of milk, and on seeing her daughter holding the gun as described she gave it a slight blow or push with one of her bands, and it went off instantly, the con tents, which proved to be No. 8 shot, entering the right side of the beggar boy's chest, over the region of the heart. his death was instantaneous. Mr. J. N. Terry, who saw him shortly afterwards, stated that the heart wac shot to pieces. The gun was produced before the magistrates, and Thos. Wood, the brother of the prisoner, stated that he used it fcir shooting sparrows, and generally kept it in the house unloaded, but on the last occasion when he had it out of doors he took it home loaded, and placed it on the bread kreel, where it .remained until his sister got it on toe evening in question. Ile gun was Touch out of repair, and wou!d go off both at full cock and half cock when slightly struck or shaken, as was shown in court. The trigger, for want of a screw, was tied on with a piece of band. Thomas Wood was unable to say whether he left the gun fully cocked or half-cocked, but he knew he lett a percussion cap on it, and ho stated that no one saw him load it, nor did he tell anybody that he had left it loaded. The prisoner was taken into custody by William Whitaker, a West Riding police-constable, shortly after the youth was shot, and the body of the deceased was removed to the Bolton Hotel, there to await a coroner'a inquest, which will be held to-day. When apprehended the prisoner made no statement, nor did she say auything before the magistrates, but seemed greatly distressed. She was committed for trial at the assizes, and bail (two sureties in £5O each) was taken for her appearance there. SCOTCH BANKRUPTS. Alexander Campbell Macandie, writer, Portobello.

The Chalons camp has been suddenly broken up sant tambour ni trompette—the usual farewell review was dispensed with. The reason for this haste is stated to be that with the autumnal change of weather the place had be • conae unhealthy. SAyANS ON MONT BLANC.—Five German savans, and among them Professor Pitthner, are at present in the midst of the ice near the summit of Mont Blanc. They have not suffered from the cold, having taken all necessary precautions to guarantee themselves against it, but they have sustained great inconvenience from the atmosphere, and cannot succeed in satisfying their thirst. They took with them abundance of provisions, but could not eat with out pain, and only desired to drink. As a protection against the reverberation of the sun on the snow they wear a covering over the face, but their features have become so blistered that they can scarcely be recognised. According to the last accounts, they would not be able to live long at the height at which they are without being subject to great changes, physical and moral. They took up with them some animals, which have also suffered greatly ; a cat was incapable of making any movement, and a dog for some days had ceased to bark. Some pigeons appeared to suffer less. SERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday an acci dent, attended with results doubly fatal, occurred in the neighbourhood of Sedgley, near Wolverhampton. Mr. Wm. Haden, nailmaker, had been to Dudley in a light con veyance, accompanied by a bay, and was returning home ward. At a particular point in the road an ass laden with brooms was coming from the opposite direction, when the horse took fright, and leaped to the right of the road over a fence and down an embankment. The occupants of the vehicle were of course pitched out, and Mr. Haden was so much injured that he died immediately; the boy escaped with comparatively slight injury. A minute or two after the lifeless body of Mr Haden was picked up, Mr. Neale, a broker, of Dudley, passed by with some friends, and on being informed of the nature of the occurrence he became much agitated, After the lapse of a short time he pro.. ceeded on his journey, but, his excitement increasing, it was deemed expedient to stop and take him into a house, where he expired ahnoist instantaneously without uttering a word, OUR FEMALE SERVANTS. The complaint of the scarcity of good female servants is a topic that naturally crops out now and then in the reports and evidence collected and published by the Education Commission. We are reminded that, if servants are demoralized, some of the same causes have been at work among their superiors also. Intellectual have taken the place of domestic pursuits, and the upper and middle classes no longer exercise that constant supervision over their household affairs which they used to do. It is regarded as beneath their dignity, and they are incompetent for it; for the highest ambition of a young woman is that which she least of all qualifies herself for—namely, to become a wife. Many influences have ope rated to change the character of domestic servants. There is the asserted growing insubordination and love of independence on the part of the rising ger e ration ; the larger demand for women in other employments as well as in this ; the love of change and locomotion generated by the increased facility of communication; and the mulliplied temptations to gaiety which prove so attractive to the young. But the school itself, it is said, by a too ambitious course of instruction, often tends to raise girls above domestic service while imperfectly fitting them for it. The Rev. G. W. Proctor, of Devonport, in a communication made by him, refers at some length to the pupil teacher system, acknowledging it to be a great improvement on the monitorial, but strongly objecting to the tempting and stimu lating girls in humble life to endeavour to attain the power of answering such difficult questions as have been proposed at the examinations for Queen's scholarships ; he says it furnishes them with an excuse for shirking common.sense every day do mestic duties, and fosters the idea of becoming the lady in the family. He states that respectable Christian mothers of humble life, who would have their daughters live a modest, virtuous, useful life of ind sstry, complain that the present system of female edue ition is placing new and unlookt d-for difficul ties in their way. It makes young girls imp a ti ent and dissatisfied 'with home restraints and home cir cumstances, more attractive to the seducer of higher social position, and more susceptible of the influence of his refinement of manner and tastes, and so more easily his victims. MISCELLANEOUS STATISTICS.—A volume bearing this title is issued by the Board of Trade in every alternate year. It has just made its appearance. It contains a mul titudinous host of statistical tables, collected chiefly from the various returns made to Parliament from time to time, arranged and classified as they relate to different subjects— population, pauperism, crime, revenue and expenditure, prices and wages, banks, railways, and other matters. Opening the book at random we learn that there were 10,780 miles of electric telegraphs open in the United King dom in 1860, with 51,221 miles of wires, and that they sent 1,789,257 messages for the general public, besides a much larger number sent for the railway companies, public offices, and newspapers. In the course of the year nearly 3,000,000 people visited the national museums, the palaces, the Tower, Greenwich Hospital, and Kew Gardens. Seventy six persons lost their lives in the year by accidents in facto ries under inspection, 45 travellers by railway accidents, ' 536 persons by wrecks on our coasts. But it would be vain to try by selections to give any idea of such a collection as this. Unformnately it shows the imperfection of many of our statistical returns. The causes tried at Guildhall re turned year after year under the head of " Causes tried at Westminster ;" a return of the number of patients at " the principal London hospitals," taking no notice of University and King's College hospitals; en annual return of the pro ceedings of the Divorce Court, giving such trivial particu lars as the number emotions and summonses, but never stating the number of divorces decreed—these arc instances Of defects that might surely be remedied. LITERATURE. BULWER'S LIBRARY EDITION. As the volumes of this very beautiful edition of the tales and romances of our Great No -- Jelist are lengthening out, now, from month to month, their already ample range upon our bookshelves, one gets to understand th e more read i ly how it is that the writer of them has c on t r i ve d to w i n f or himself, during his own lifetime, a reputation so cleave and world-wide. H e has seldom, even if -he has ever, strictly speaki ng, traversed the same field twice. He has adventured his genius in almost all the various departments of literature. That every one knows, who knows anything at all about his writings. But " that" is not all—" that" is not by any means the secret of the spread and of the permanence of his popularity. The same hand, before now, that h as wr i tten a play, has written a prose fiction, has written a history, has written essays, has written p oems didactic and descriptive. Instance this one of the most delightful Fames treasured up i n the Walhalla of English authorship—one of the home-darlings of English literature—dear, honest, dear, honest, There gentle-hearted Oliver Goldsmith. ere are, per- baps, but few, comparatively speaking, out of the very ma ly who know and love the name of that charming writer, who have ever realised the di versity of his achievements, what is vulgarly termed the versatility of his genius as a man of letters. There are plenty of other writers in our literature who have written more voluminously, but there are very few who have written more variously. What are the famous words Johnson wrote about him in the epitaph in Westminster Abbey 9—nu/bin/fere scri bendi genus non tetigit, quod tetigit non ornavit. It is only necessary to recall to mind that from the hand of this—No, far more than "inspired idiot"—from the hand of this humble physician who hardly ever earned a fee, Doctor— " Oliver Goldsmith, for shortness called Noll, Who wrote like an angel, and talked like poor Poll I" It is only necessary to remember that from the hand of that poor hard-working book seller's hack came a poem like the Deserted Vil lage, a play like She Stoops to Conquer, humorous and satirical essays like The Citizen of the World, and a bewitching little story in prose like the Vicar of Wakefield. To say nothing of other inimitable minor performances—trifles, compared with masterpieces such as those we have just enumerated—delightful effusions of the fancy like that sweetest little love-ballad that ever was penned, " Turn gentle hermit of the dale," or like those happiest, wittiest, specimens of the vers de societe—here, in the broad humour of the " Haunch of Venison," here in the delicate sarcasms sparkling all through the poem of " Retaliation." Another instance of varied powers and varied performances starts to recollection, again, upon the thought of that magni ficent cataract of hyperbolical compliments poured forth by Lord Byron upon the saddened heart of poor Richard Brinsley Sheridan towards the close of his brilliant but darkened life. "He has writ ten the best comedy (School for Scandal), the best musical drama (Duenna), the best farce (Critic), the best poetic address (Monologue on Garrick) and, to crown all, delivered the very best oration (the famous Begum Speech) ever conceived or heard in this country.' Upon being told' of which eulogium, and of who had uttered it, Shbri dan is said to have burst into tears. And no won der. But it is not so much the variety of the fields for intellectual exploit adventured into by the great writer—the Library Edition of whose Tales and Romances we are here referring to—that we really account for the world-wide diffusion and the already assured permanence of his reputation. It is, of course, very notable in his regard as a token at once of his industry and of his ambition—of the aside scope of his ambition and of the ready adaptability of his industry—that he has done so much and in so many different *ays. He, too, in his turn possesses a claim to have echoed down to himself the panegyric pronounced by Lord Byron upon Mr. Sheridan. Of him, too, might it be said, as Dr. Johnson wrote of Dr. Goldsmith, nullum fere scribendi genus non tetigit, nullum quod tetigit non ornav4. Besides which—beyond the mere writing—there is his capacity as an Administrator also, which has been signally attested by the organisation of a great colony like British Columbia. The only epic poem of the age is his (King Arthur), the most successful drama (The Lady of Lyons), the most brilliant speech of the last few years (the one on Reform) — but, beyond all else that he has done (and here lies the secret of his popularity), there is that extraordinary variety of success achieved by him as a writer of prose-fiction in the one most frequented arena of his intellec tual enterprise, that of purely imaginative literature. For whatever else he has done, and however admirably—he has done this best of all— and the fame of Bulwer is in consequence essenti ally and peculiarly the nme of a Novelist, e!e fame of a great master of Romance. Glancing through the series of his prose fictions, it is aimost like a grave realisation for once of an aptitude like that of the players, according to the garrulous record of Polonius :—Great "for either trage , 'y s , comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral comical, histo rical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical," and so forth : " Seneca cannot be too heavy"—those are the metaphysics, "nor Plautus too light"— meaning themany provecatives, here, to laughter. To instance the variety alluded to, merely in a fragmentary way—there are the two last volumes of this library edition, the volumes issued for August and September. " The Pilgrims of the Rhine," where the elves are dancing as visibly and audibly around the little central group of human beings of which Gertrude, the fated heroine, is " best beautiful" of all—as visibly and audibly the elves dance there about her as she goes as the little Grecian fairies under the moonlit trees in the Mid summer Night's Dream of Shakspere. That is the volume placed last month within reach of the sub scribers. And for the current month there is the first half of "Euene Aram"—perhaps among all our author's works,' (s in the mere style of the compo sition, the most perfectly written throughout. Cer tainly the one containing the most truthful delinea tions of Nature—the work presenting to the reader, here and there, veritable photographs of pastoral and sylvan scenery. It is remarkable, too, that in the midst of all the pathetic and tragic interest of the story, there gleams out at intervals in vivid contrast to the passion of the tale, a humorous extravagance absolutely irresistible in its way. Who that has read " Eugene Aram"—that impressive narrative of crime and love—has not preserved a remembrance of that grotesque personage, Corporal Bunting, own brother, surely, of Smollett's immortal Lismahagoe. Corporal Bunting, of the 41st, six foot odd (very odd) in his stockings. Don't we see him breaking into a trot on the Roman nosed horse, in the wake of young Walter Lester, with that uncomfortable parcel containing the bridle perpetually getting (in the awkwardest way in the world) between the cor poral's " seat of leather and his seat of honour." And that ! Don't we remember Corporal Bunting's historian, while describing his appearance, break ing off suddenly in wonder, as he comes in his de scription to that part which neither Art in bipeds nJr Nature in quadrupeds loves to leave wholly ex posed," breaking off suddenly in wonder thus , with —"And that part, ah, how ample ! Had Liston seen it, he would have hid for ever his diminished —op posite to head !" We are there with him again, that delightful Corporal Bunting while he is angling, in an earlier portion of the narrative, in the plea sant trout stream running through Grassdale. We are there with 'Walter watching his (the Cor poral's) artful and all confident devices to catch. that speckled monster of a trout—first of all with the violet fly—afterwards with the memorable yellow dun —all in vain! We are there again and again standing beside him among the meadow sweet on the bank of the trout stream, under the shadow of the alders—knowing perfectly well what is to come, but never able to resist a laugh when it does come at last—the chagrin and amaze ment of the disappointed and indignant angler! The corporal is dexterously manipulating his roe,( and line with the last potent attraction quiver ing on the hidden hook : 11 The yellow dun sails aways in affected indifference; that indifference whets the appetite of the hesitating gazer ; he darts forwards; he is opposite the yellow dun— he pushes his nose against it with an eager rudeness—he —no, he does not bite, he recoils, he gazes again with sur prise and suspicion on the little charmer ; he fades back slowly into deeper water, and then, and then, suddenly turning his tail towards the disappointed bail, he makes off as fast as he can—yonder—yonder, and disappears I No ! that's he lsaping yonder from the wave : Jupi'cerl what a noble fellow What leaps he at ?—A real fly D—n his eyes ! ' growled the Corporal." This, remember, occurring in that tragic tale of Love and Crime, the romance of "Eugene m.. It is only another example, however—(S pere abounds in them, witness the F ool in Lear and the. iat s e h a A k r b a " Gravedigger in Handet)—another wh e tle ro,. o e f t long since recognized trut h revealing a i ly are allied those contra stin g powers of Gh elims that t w og in eth fr e o r) from our rs laughteret plea a s u our alte tears.rnatle y (o FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT, AT RINGLEY.-- Two MEN KILLED.-7-Abollt half-past eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, an accident occurred at the Ringlet' fold Colliery, belonging to Messrs.
