ONEY MARKET AND CODIMZUCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The general discount market is still disturbed by the expectation of dearer money. Many parties limit the time till to-morrow, when the usual weekly Court of the Bank of England Directors takes place. Accordingly bankers and brokers are in no mood to transact business at present rates, and it is only first-elass bills that can be negotiated•nt 7 and 71 per cont. Under these circumstances the com mercial public, whose position enables them, resort for assistance to the national establishment. The City of Btltimore has arrived from New York With £47,812. The Syria, which left to-day for Bombay, took out X 118,280. There was a general advance in the foreign ex changes yesterday afternoon, consequent upon the rise In the rate of discount. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday, August 1, a special settling day In the following securities :—Hamber Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company (Limited), in transac tions Only entered into on and after May 11 to be marked ; S oc i ete Generale de l ' Empire Ottoman, In transactions only entered into on and after Joly 13 , but the shares will not be admitted to quotation In the official lists, th e comm itt ee no t b e i ng sat i s fi e d with the manner in which the company has been form e d .

The rise in the standard for copper ores, the con tinued favourable price of lead, added to substantial in aprovements and discoveries ought, and will en shrine niining enterprises with peculiar interest as regards the future, and we unhesitatingly recom. mend our readers to avail themselves of the present opportunity to purchase shares in well established and recognised dividend and progressive under takings, and whilst ruling depression continues.— The Banking, Xining, and Joint Stock Companies 'Review. Two °Timm. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 12e. Affairs at the Stock Exchange are assuming a quieter appearance. The disinclination to speculate le now enhanced by the approaching fortnightly Settlement, which as usual will occupy the greater part of attention.

FIRE AT THE WAR OFFlCE.—Yesterday after noon, at about one o'clock, great consternation was created by an alarm of fire being raised, when it was found that through the overheating of the flue in the Kitchen belong• - ing to the Purveyor's Department, the roof had taken fire, and if it had not been for the admirable arrangements of this office for emergencies of this kind, and the immediate attendance of a large body of workmen, the most disastrous consequences might have been expected. Happily, how ever, the endeavours of those present were crowned with success, and the fire extinguished with a comparatively small amount of trouble.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) KNOX Y. GYE-THE ROYAL ITALIAN (TERRA. Their lordehips delivered judgment in this case, which was an al,peal from the decisicn of Vice-Chancellor Wood, before whom the case was originally heard. It was a suit instituted for the declaration of a partnership between Col. Brownlow Knox and Mr Frederick Gye, in the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden. Mr Gye denied that a partnership existed between himself and Col. Knox, and the Vice-Chancellor decided in favour doof Mr Gye. The case was taken on appeal to the Lords Justices, and there argued at great length, but their lordehips reserved their decision. This morning the lordships gave judgment, and after going at great length into the complicated matters, directed the bill to be dismissed with £ h5O costs, without prejudice to several questions that had been raised during the arguments. The result of the judgment, more than likely, will be an appeal to the House of Lords. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury,) 13ANCROFT V. BANCROFT. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Swabey appeared for the petitioner, and Mr Chambers, Q.C., Mr Sergeant Ballan tine, and Dr. Spinks and Mr Stavely Hill for the respon- dents. It will be remembered that this case was part heard on Saturday, and that it was a suit by Mrs Bancroft for judi cial separation on the ground of cruelty, which the respon dent, a printer, at Manchester, denied. He had also com menced a crosr.suit, in which he charged Mrs Bancroft with adultery with her own brother-in-law, Mr. Rumney. The hearing of the case was resumed this morning, when the following evidencs was adduced on behalf of the respondent, Mr Bancroft. Peter Elkington said he was for 14 years foreman to the respondent. He knew the petitioner's brother-in-law, Mr Rummy, with whom the adultery was charged, and who resided near the respondents. After the marriage he had frequently occasion to go to Mr Bancroft's office, and one day he saw Mrs Bancroft and Mr Rumney together there, and his arm was over her shoulder. That was about one o'clock in the day and three weeks after marriage. On another occasion he saw them in a kind of kitchen at Mr Bancroft's and they were sitting on a couch. Mr Rumney had one arm round Mrs Bancroft's neck and ono hand was under her clothes. He identified a photographic likeness of Mr Rumney. In cross• examination he said he was a married man and had a family. The marriage took place on the Sal of April, 1863. He was shocked at what he saw between Mrs Ban croft and Mr Run:may; he did not mention anything about it to, until ho heard that he was about to commence a suit for a divorce. He was engaged in getting up evidence for Mr Bancroft, and for that purpose went to different brothels in Manchester. A man named Walker accompanied him on some occasions, and he was accompanied also by a man named Spellar. Sometimes Mr Bancroft went with him. Mrs Catherine Pilkington, wife of the last witness, said that about a fortnight after the marriage she saw Mr Rum ney come to the cite° during the absence of Mr Bancroft, She was at the house for about five weeks after the mar riage, and Mr Ramney called three times during that time. She saw Mr Rumney coming-down stairs on one occasion. There were four bed rooms upstairs. Mrs Bancroft said he had been in the closet. In cross-examination she said that she did not tell her husband anything about what she had seen for some time after, and ho said nothing to her about having seen any kissing. The case wax proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGII-STREET. IMPUDENT ItousEity.—John Cooper, a lad, who de. scribed himself as a maker of paper roses in summer and working in a brickfield in winter, was charged before Mr 'ryrwhitt with stealing a box of cigars from the shop of Mr Thomas Clarence, tobacconist, of Church• passage, Picca dilly. _ _ . From the evidence of Mr Clarence, it appeared that a little after nine o'clock last night the prisoner stepped a short distance into his shop and then stye! shed out his hand and drew from the counter a box of cigars, and ran, out of the shop. Ho pursued the prisoner, and caught him with the box under his arm. On stopping the prisoner he threw the box away, and then made off again, but he succeeded in catching him and gave him into custody. The prisoner said he was a maker of paper roses in sum mer, and in winter ho was employed in brick making. A shoeblack gave him the box as ho was passing down Church • passage. He told the shoeblack he did not want the box, and struck the shoeblack and then ran away. and after wards the prosecutor came up and said he had stolen a box of cigars. Sergeant Bason, 12 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody. The prisoner wished the 'case settled at once, and Mr Tyrwhitt committed him for three months with hard labour. TIIAMES. CRUELTY TO AN ANINIAL.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-- Mr Mack Ayore, the landlord of the " Crown Tavern," a public house situate at a place called the Orchard House, Poplar, appeared before Mr Paget, to answer a summons taken out by George Young, a constable in the service of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Crue,ty to Animals, who charged the defendant with cruelly ill treating and tot turing a dog, . _ Mr Chqrles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for the Royal Society; Mr Gomm appeared for the defence. It appeared from the evidence of Alfred Thomas, a mechanic, that on Tuesday, the 21st of June last, he went into the parlour of the Crown to obtain some refreshment. He had a dog with him, which he allowed to run loose about the house. He was in the parlour 20 or 25 minute when he heard the cries of his dog in the yard. He hastened into the yard as quickly as possible, and saw the defendant, who was armed with a thick stick, beating the dog as hard as he was able. Ho asked the defendant what he meant by such conduct, and he replied that the dog had been killing his chickens. The dog was killed by the defendant. In cross-examination by Mr Gomm the witness said that when he first saw the dog in the defendant's yard it was behind h tub. The defendant said the dog wax not yet dead, and beat it again with the stick, and flung it on the ground. John Patrick, a moulder, state's that he was sitting at the window of the Crown tavr,in, and heard the cries of the dog. Ho saw the defendr. 4 nt beating it unmercifully with the stick in his hand, Mr Gomm, in defenco, urged there was no cruelty in the case, and that the defendant seeing the dog among the fowls in the yard where his children were playing became alarmed, and went into the yard, where he found two of his chickens killed and the children alarmed. The defendant took up a stick and struck the dog a few blows and killed it. Three witnesses were called for the defenco, who said no unncessary cruelty or torture was used, and that the defen dant struck the doa three blows and killed it. One of the witnesses caust,d some amusement by saying that the dog ate two of '„ - ne defendant's fowls, and only left three feathers. Mr ' . eaget thought it strange that a dog should eat fea th'as, and the defendant said that the complainant's dog killed two of his chickens and ate one and a half. The other half was left. Evidence was then given that Thomas took two dogs of the lurcher species into the Crown, and that ho kept one securely fastened with him in the parlour. The other, which was represented to be 3 months and 14 days old, was allowed to range about the premises, Dlr Paget said this was a very proper prosecution on the part of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He thought the defendant was guilty of a very cruel and a very brutal act, but he believed it was done hastily and without premeditation. The defence set up was not creditable either to the defendant or his witnesses. It was a ridiculous defence. It was very improbable that the dog that was beaten to death ate the fowls. As to any alarm for the children it was a trumped up story. He fined the defendant 20s for cruelty to a dog, to pay 20s compensation for the loss of the animal, and to pay 25s costs. The defendant immediately paid the money. THE CASE OF MRS. YELVERTON.—The further consideration of this case, which will be the judgment, has been postponed to Thursday (to-morrow). A FIGHT BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND A BULL. When the elephant was brought to the Place des Taurean,' a fiery young bull was turned out. The bull advanced against his terrible adversary without evincing the slightest fear. He attempted to flank him in order to wound him ; but the elephant, exhibiting an equal agility in his motion, did not suffer him to approach. Finally the bull attacked him in front ; bat everywhere con fronted by the formidable tusks, which interposed an impregnable barrier, ho did not succeed in wounding him. At last, in one of the assaults, the bull succeeded in thrusting his head beneath the tusks; but, before be could penetrate the tough hide of the elephant, ho fell to the earth. The spectators only saw the elephant bend his head slightly, and rest the extremities of his tusks which had been plugged, upon the back of the bull. From that moment the bull was hors de combat, and when they afterwards killed him it was found ~,that three ribs were completely crushed by the almost imperceptible movement the elephant had made in holding him with his tueks.-31adr id p«pcl • WASTE OF WAR.—In the last twelvemonth the Federal army have lost by death, capture, or otherwise, 57,670 horses and 17,190 mules —more than one horse out of every four, and nearly one mule in every seven.

We understand that Sir George Grey has ap pointed Mr James Henry Patteson, of the .Northern Circuit ecretary to the Commission on Capital Punishment. Archeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, WARWICK, Tuesday. The annual meeting of this body was opened hero this afternoon under distinguished auspices. The inaugural meeting was held at the Court-house, where a large number of arch re3logists and ladies of Warwickshire attended. On the platform were the Marquis Camden, Lord Leigh, the Bishop of Oxford, Mr Greaves, M.P.. Archdeacon Sandford, Dr Hooke (Dean of Chichester), DrWhewell (Master of Trinity C.)!lege, Cambridge), Dr Guest (Master of Gonville and Camas College, Cambridge), Mr Bracebridge, Mr Beresford Hope, Sir John Boyieau, and Sir R. Kirby, C.B. The Marquis Camden having resigned the post of president to Lord Leigh, and the Corporation of Warwick having presented an address of con gratulation, The PPESIDENT-ELECT, (Lord Leigh) delivered a brief inaugural address. lie considered it a high honour to be called upon to preside over the deliber ations of a society that had saved so many objects of interest in the country from destruction, and trusted they should derive great pleasure from their visit ro to , Warwick and to th e anc i en t castle of lienil wowhicb,in the " gold en d r y s ," h a d been visited by good Queen Bess. _ _ _ D : WILE WELL and Mr. GREIVES, M.P., added a few words in commendation of the object of their meetings. ness with which the society had been received. Mr BERESFORD HOPE Archdeacon SANDFORD acknowledged the kind' , for the clergy, wel comed the society to the diocese of Wor cester, and spoke of the valuable services rendered by arcbeeelogy i n the restorat i on of the sacred fabrics of the land, not only from ancient barbarism, but from the Goths and Vandals of modern times, the mistaken zeal of churchwardens and clergy, and from utilitarian ee'fishness. (Applause.) The Bishop of OXFORD rose to acknowledge the welcome that had been given to the society by vari ous bodies, and particularly by the clergy of the diocese. Coming there as arcl-, ye )logists, they looked back and thought of the long roll of worthies connected with the county that they mighty refer to. He might begin with the great name of Wul stan, than which there was no greater name among Saxon worthies, end, going rapidly down the list, they came to a mediaeval name, the great Dr. Parr, who certainly would have astonished Walstan if he had seen him. Still further down the list they found Robert of Chichester—(a laugh)—and, unit ingfun, and the great Wulstan crowning all—they Chichester's the three together — Pares 'stir, might well le proud of them. Then the great reign ing Abbot of Leigh had received them with more than abbatial hospitality. It was not only in the gratification of those who came to these meetings that they were serviceable, but it was also that they might engraft on others their peculiar insanity, that they might, as it were, bite them and make them as mad as themselves. (Laughter.) Everything, he would say, that tended to make them live out of the mere present, and to carry them back to the pest, had a tendency to carry them on to the future ; therefore it was not as mere old mites living in some remote cheese, but as men loving the past and look ing on to the future, that they came among them and heartily thanked them for the reception they had given them. Mr BRACEBRIDGE called the attention of the visitors to a dungeon under the old gaol which had been visited by the philanthropic Howard. Mr BLOXSOME gave a short history of the county, and showed that it had been visited by many crowned heads—Edward 1., 11., and IV., Richard I. and 111., Henry VII , Elizabeth, James 1., Charles I. and IL, Willi am 111., G e orge IV., Wil liam IV., and Queen Victoria. Amongst its poets were Drayton, Shakspere, Somerville, and Walter Savage Landor, still living. Ho was glad to con trast the language of public addresses of the pre sent time, such as that they had received from the corporation of Warwick that day with the language used in former times. In the reign of Queen Eliza beth they would reneambar that the people of Co ventry, being told that the Queen admired poetry, hired a poet to apostrophise her Majesty, and an address couched in the following terms was pre sented to the Queen : " We men of Coventry Are very glad tc see Your gracious Mhjcsty— Gocd Lord, how fair ye be I" Our gra c i ous M a j esty To which , Q , !teen Elizab e th i s sa id to h ave replied-Is glad to see The men of Coventry Good lack, what fools ye be I". (Laughter.) This concluded the formal business of the morn ing, and. Mr PETET then read a paper on the painted glass in the Beauchamp Chapel, after which the chapel was visited. To-morrow Warwick and Kenilworth Castles will be visited'. CITY SEWEES COMMISSION. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the Commissioners cf Sewers of the city of London assembled at Guildhall foi the despatch of business. att he A deputation waited up on the Commissioners to urge v c e fv n by d o t upon them the desirability teffectingi improvement m s treet, so as to widen, th at thoroughf are i n order to allow of se tting back certain premises t w o vehicles passing at the same time. The matter had south re been before the court on a previous occasion, and was re ferred to the Improvement Committee for consideration and report. A sum of SI,COO, which was subsequently reduced to £750, was asked for the ground required to be laid into the public way, but the Cop missioners considered that the improvement was not of such a nature as to justify them in expending that amount out of the rates, but they consented to subscribe £3OO, if the inhabitants of the locality, who would chiefly be benefited by the improvement, would sub scribe the remainder. Several firms in the neighbourhood had since agreed to contribute £3OO, and it was now urged that, as the improvement was one of a public nature, the Commissioners ought to pay the remainder. The whole of the circumstances were again laid before the Commissioners, but the chairman intimated an opinion that, as they had adopted the report of the Improvement Com mittee, and had decided not to contribute a larger sum than £3OO towards the improvement, notice of motion must bo given to rescind the decision then come to, before any fur ther proposition could bo made, The matter consequently was allowed to drop. brill,the i"2a2 . ..

From the weekly report of Dr. Letheby on the sanatory state of the City it appeared that 287 houses had been in spected since the last meeting, and a list of 117 places was I submitted for sanatory improvement. Ile also handed in a list of places requiring further proceedings on account of orders already issued, but not yet complied with. The markets and slaughter-houses were duly inspected, and the officers had seized 6,4771bs of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of 25 sheep, 1 calf, 14 pigs, 33 quarters of beef, and numerous joints of meat. The mortpl:ty returns for the week are a little above the average for the reason. Last week the number of deaths was 56, the average for the corresponding week of the last 8 years being 43, Twenty-two, or nearly half of all the deaths, were among children of less than 5 year , of age, and 14 among persons of 60 and upwards. The chief causes of deal were as follows :—Phthisis 7, pneumonia 2, bronchitis 4, whooping-cough, fever, and diarrheoi, each 1; scarlet fever 2, and measles 3. GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY. Dr. Letheby, in a supplemental report, stated that the illuminating power of the gas supplied to the City during the past week has been in each case above the requirements of the Act of Parliament, but the average proportion of sulphur in the case of the Great Central gas hes been above the amount sanctioned by Parliament. , The Commissioners shortly afterwards adjourned. L_ PANEGYRIC ON THE • DEVIL uentu and Co bare published an extraordinary work by M. J. M. Cayla, the subkict of the Devi!, entitled "Le Diable, ea Gran. deur et ea De:lcience.'l. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths in London, which were 1,300 in the second week of July, rose to 1,399 in the week that ended last Saturday. The average number of deaths in the twenty ninth week of the ten years 1854-63 is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,266. The mortality was high for the third week of July, for the actual number of deaths exceeded the estimated number by 133. The increase in deaths over those of the previous week arises in great measure from summer diarrhea a. The weekly number of fatal cases of this complaint had been gradually rising, but had not attained 100 till last week, when it quickly rose to 145. Of these 115 eases, 28 occurred in the West districts, 31 in the North, 22 in the Central, 38 in the East, and 26 in the South districts. Six deaths from diarrhea i were returned in the Belgrave sub-district, 11 in Pancras, 9 in Islington, 8 in Clerkenwell, 10 in Shoreditch, Bin Mile:end Old Town, 6in Poplar. The whole of the deaths caused by diarrbo3i, with the exception of 14, occur red to children under two years of age. Besides these, 6 deaths were referred to cholera. Seventy-four children died of measles, half of whom died in the East districts, in which division of the metropolis both measles and diarrheas appear chiefly to prevail. There were 5 deaths from measles in St. Mary, Paddington. There is much scarlatina in the sub-district of St. John, Westminster. The increase of the mortality in the week arose from the complaints that are fatal to children. The deaths of persons under 20 years of age increased from 693 in the previous week to 810 last week; those of persons 60 years old and upwards declined from 238 to 193. Deaths by convulsions rose from 38 to 71 ; those by developmental diseases of children from 24 to 42 ; those by atrophy and debility (amongst children) from 62 to 71. A cabinetmaker, aged 63 years, died on the 4th inst., at 11, Little Paternoster-row, Christchurch, Spitalfields, from degeneration of the heart, accelerated by privation and want of food. Last week, the births of 976 boys and 891 girls, in all 1,870 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,831. AIARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here to-day was seasonably good, and most samples came to hand in excellent condition. The demand, both for red and white qualities, was far from active ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were supported. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. The amount of business transacted, both in American and continental descriptions, was very moderate, yet the quotations ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at fall currencies. The supply of barley on the stands was very moderate. The trade, however, was very quiet, and prices ruled, in some instances, the turn easier. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates. Oats were in good supply, and slow request, on rather easier terms. Beans and peas ruled firm, and Monday's prices were fully supported. The flour trade was steady, at late rates.

STANDING ORDERS REVISION. The house proceeded to further consider the standing orders, Nos. 7,8, and 9, and also to report of the select committee. After the mattet had made some progress, Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the debate be adjournel until next session. Sir J. SHELLEY seconded the motion. After some remarks from Mr LOWE and Mr D. GRIFFITH, Lord PALMERSTON suggested that the matter should be postponed. Very little private business was taken in the first week of a session, and this then might be con. sid ered. The House then divided on the question of the adjourn ment of the debate— For the adjournment Against it Majority —37 The discussion was then continued.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2! per milk pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On oomparingr, these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in.. London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mar and the short exchang on London is 13.51 per £1 stuliug'. standard gold at the 1.n,7115h Mint price is, therefore, about 3-ICtbs per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The Directors of the National Bank have issued their half-yearly report. The accounts, which are brought down to the 3')th June last, show that, in addition to the £500,000 profit on the issue of new shares the nett ordinary profits of the Bank for that period amounted to £89,567 ls. in estimating the progress of the Bank this sum has to be compared with a profit of £49,067 15s 10d, which was the amount earned for the corresponding half-year of 1863. The Directors have, however, declared their ordinary and extraordinary dividends at the same rates as on the last occasion, feeling that until new and old shares shall stand up to an equal amount, viz., £3O per share, it will b 3 more equitable to accu mulate in the reserve fund the amount of profits realised in excess of the rates of dividends latterly paid. For the half-year ending the 30th June the dividend on the old shares is therefore declared at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, with an extra dividend of 16s per share, making together £2 per shara for the half-year, and the dividend on the new shares is declared in grose at 6s 8d per share, the dividends on both being free of income tax. The increase to the Rest or undivided profits (in cluding the premium on new shares) will therefore, after the payment of these dividends, amount on the half-year to £542,900 7s Bd. THE RIGHT OF MIGHT.—A remarkable case oc• curred recently at New York, Col. Arguelles, Lieu t tenant-Governor of the district of Colon, in Cuba, captured a large cargo of African negroes illegally landed within that district, and received his share of the usual prize money allowed. Subsequently he obtained leave of absence for the purpose of proceeding to New York on private business. The Captain-General of Cuba represented that after the de parture of Arguelles it was discovered that he had retained and sold into slavery 140 of the negroes, and that the Supe rior Court required his presence to warrant their proreo .in a...srottraomoanraa - liberation. There has never been any extradition treaty between Spain and the United States, but nevertheless the Spanish Minister at Washington asked, " in the interests of humanity, and coisidering the gross and scandalous outrage committed," that Arguelles should be surrendered to the authorities of Cuba. President Lincoln hobbi (as he says that "a nation is in reporting the transaction to Congress) never bound to furnish asylum to dangeronuds crimin als, believ' s who in, this are offenders against the human race,";locaNyvteaotlolbwe Shatards Government, ordered Colonel Arguelles to seized , and not to be a case for the exercise taken before a legal tribunal, butdcoan y on board a Cuban steamer. The arrest was haeffected as twhaes .engaged at his she was ° w r a e s lg i l l caamber of his o g jf e managed wife, and the affair w " The ir ashingtoa lotelligencer maintains that morning toilette, ignorance of his condition or destination until some days afterwards she learnt, both . from the Spanish Minister at it has always been held " that the President has no right to arrest any one except for the violation of our own laws," if Washington. there is no e xtradition treaty and Act of Congress enforcing it. The New Ford; World alleges that the key to the trans action is that Colonel Arguelles has committed indiscret ions at New Yolk, and has exposed too much the complicity of the Captain-General himself in the slave trillic, inso much that the latter said, " I must have that man dead or alive." Mr. Lincoln had him delivered on board alive. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.—MAORI PEI SO_NERS.-0 ar prisoners cf scar, to the number of 191, are confined in the Marion hulk. Those who saw them when they were first brought in from ltangiriri would hardly recognise in these robust, plump-looking histories the lean, hungry, dejected looking kine who were marched down from the front a few months ago very like a company ' of beggars, and of whom we could scarcely believe that there were among them chiefs and celebrities, suzgi as the great landed proprietor of Waikato. The civilising influence of good living and the observance of proper sani tary arrangements have had a wonderful Effect upon their condition. A large proportion of them are young men, who were probably training for war flogs, and me l t of them seem very indifferent to their mtsfortunes, Very few of them are maimed. Some are of such light complexions that they might be taken for half-castes. They occupy . themselves a good deal with draughts, or a Maori adapta tion of the game, and several sma'se when they can get a I p an re d se e n v t c o ni f r t g ob , aae native T have a religious service morning ive y monitor (a prisoner) officiating.
