Attention is particularly requested to the Benefits to be de rived by Assuring with the Company before the 15th of No vember, 1849. ALL POLICIES opened with the Company before the 15th November will participate in the Division of Profits to be made next year, (1850,) when the Surplus Funds which have arisen since 15th November, 1845, will be divided. In accordance with the mode of Division adopted by the STANDARD, Policies have an increasing claim at EACH Divi sion of Profits : and Persons now Assuring secure one year's additional Bonus at each future Division over later Entrants. At the Division of Profits in 1835, 1840, 1845, large additions were made to the Company's Policies. For example :- 4600 was added to a Policy for 41000 opened in 1825. 4562 10s. was added to a Policy for 41000 opened in 1826. 4525 was added to a Policy for 41000 opened in 1827. And so on, as shown in the Company's published Bonus Table. The extensive business transacted by this Company, its large Revenue and Accumulated Fund, afford every inducement to Assurers to become connected with it. The STANDARD was established in 1825, but, during the last Six Years alone, the Directors hhve Assured upwards of 3400 Lives, to an amount exceeding Two Millions Three Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling. No ENTRY-MONEY IN ANY FORM. Every information on the subject of Life Assurance can be obtained, without expense, at the Head Office of the Company, No. 3, George-street, Edinburgh ; atthe Branch Offices, London B2, King William-street ; Glasgow 35, St. Vincent-place ; Dublin 66, Upper Sackville-street ; Or from any of the Agents of the Company.

The COLONIAL COMPANY has been established for the pur pose of affording the benefits of Life Assurance to persons resident in the Colonies or in India. Before the establishment of the " Colonial," Life Assurance in the Colonies was almost unknown, and where its protection was afforded the rates de manded were so exorbitant as to be almost a complete bar to such transactions. The Company commenced business in 1846, and the result which has attended its operations fully bears out the anticipa tions of success which its founders entertained. NO EXTRA CHARGE is made for residence in Canada; and parties have the privilege of passing between Great Britain and North America free of expense. One of the GREAT ADVANTAGES offered by this Company is the permission given to Assurers to pass from the most healthy to the most unhealthy part of the Globe, without taking out a New Policy, a second stamp by this arrangement being rendered unnecessary, and the possibility of rejection following upon a second Medical Examination avoided altogether—the change in premium being the only difference. Parties proceeding to the Southern States of North America for the COTTON SEASON will find this Company a most ad vantageous one f ,r Assurance. • FOR RESIDENCE in India, the United States, South Ame rica, the Cape of Good Hope, West Indies, Australia, &c., the Rates will also be found very moderate. THE COLONIAL COMPANY have Branch Offices and Agencies in the following places : IN GREAT BRITAIN—At Edinburgh (head-office,) London,' and Glasgow, with Sub-Agencies in the principal Towns in England and Scotland. IN BRITISH NORTH AMERICA—At Montreal ; St. John, New Brunswick ; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and St. John's, Newfoundland. IN INDIA—At Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. IN CEYLON—At Colombo. IN THE WEST INDIES—At Jamaica, Demerara, Trinidad, Barbadoes, Antigua, St. Kitt's, St. Vincent, Dominica, Grenada, St. Thomas, &c. IN AUSTRALIA—At Sydney and Adelaide. Every information can be obtained by application at the Head Office, or at any of the Company's Agencies. By order of the Directors, WILL. THO. THOMSON, Actuary. HENRY J. WILLIAMS, Secretary.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. his daughter about to become the victim of these monsters killed her w►th his own hands. During the voyage back to Kapiti, the old man was dispatched ; and it is a fact that one of the ship's coppers was in use for cooking human flesh for his guest; and that Stewart and his crew participated, if not in the feast, in the atrocious murder and revolting preparations made for it.' " A most pleasant gentleman this ! By the way, the writer informs us that the English villain Stewart (who, we grieve to say, is not a fabulous character) was lost on his homeward voyage. A somewhat similar character is Waka Ncne, an ally and favourite of the English, con- cerning whom our author gives us a funny story of A WAR DANCE IN UNIFORM. " Waka has wisely merged his title of chief into that of an officer, and acts much more in that capacity than any other chief I have met. His faithful services to the government have secured him a pension for life. He generally dresses in a naval uniform, and when so dressed expects the customary sa lutation to which his assumed rank entitles him, being that of a post captain; which mark of attention we never failed to pay him when he visited the ship. " He has a nice little wooden house at Kororaika, and does the honours to his visitors very well indeed ; he studies to do everything in European fashion. One of the most difficult habits to drop is to discontinue seating themselves on their ankles—a most peculiar posture, and to our stiff-limbed race as uncomfortable as the use of a chair is to a maori; he, how ever, seldom or never indulges in this luxurious attitude since his promotion. I have on several occasions dined in company , with him, and could scarcely believe that so much good breed ing and politeness could be worn with such ease by a man born and brought up a thorough savage. I was amused at his ask ing those he considered his juniors to take wine with him, and, when the cloth was removed, waiting patiently for herGracions Majesty's health to he proposed, at which toast he left no heel tap. He is always ready to know anything concerning Queen Vickytoria, of whom he asks the most particular questions. I should think him to be about forty-five years of age ; but from being very much tatooed, and from his not knowing his own age, which none of them do, it is very difficult to arrive at it. A most ridiculous scene occurred at the return of his tribe from Ruapekapeka. Waka being in his full uniform—epau lettes, cocked bat, and all—which had been given him by Captain Sir Everard Home, of the North Star,' a war-dance took place in honour of their return this was a series of the most extravagant distortions of features, accompanied by the most discordant yells and shouts, as well as dancing, which consists in jumping off their feet as high as extreme excite ment and great activity alone could accomplish, flourishing their muskets and tomahawks over their heads at each fresh scream ; the chiet giving the time for these displays of diaboli cal manoeuvres, which, brwever, they execute in the most ex cellent measure, keeping the most correct time in these horri • ble chorusses, as well as jumping together with the greatest precision, the 200 muskets acting as one; iece of machinery. At the first part of this spectacle Waka stood with the officers who were looking on, merely showing that his mind was with the dancers by a slight movement of the leg, and every now and then slapping his thigh with the palm of his hand, marking time; but gradually becoming more and more excited, forgot the dignity due to his uniform and new station, and in a few minutes snatched a musket from the willing hand of one of the soldiers standing by who had been watching him, and joined in the noisy throng, soon taking the prominent part which his energy of character rendered him so well able to perform, los ing all control of his gentlemanly self: this ended in a sad ca tastrophe happening to his blue dress pants, which could not stand the repeated tests of strength they were put to. We all laughed most heartily; but so excited had our tatooed officer become, that he did not discover the damage done to his li mited wardrobe until the dance was over, when he felt rather ashamed of the figure he had cut." - - - • - We shall not follow our author through his narrative of the various encounters with the natives, by which the insurgent natives were at length put do Nn ; but proceed to give a few of his observations upon the capabilities of the country, since its return to a condition of peace : IMPROVEMENT IN THE CONDITION OF THE NEW ZEA- LANDERS " Since Captain Grey's administration, a great improvement has manifested itself amongst the natives ; and, from very late accounts, it seems that the roads lately made in the southern provinces have done much to improve the condition of the co lony; showing the natives how easily such work can be done when persevered with, as well as the great use of facilitating the communication between the out-settlements and the prin cipal parts, and the advantage it is to themselves to have such employment given them. We explained to them that this road would soon be m:.de all the way to Auckland, a distance of 500 miles, and that coaches and waggons would be frequently go ing to and fro between these two places. They are making ra pid strides in the various branches of trade." The following are his views as to the PROSPECTS OF SETTLERS IN NEW ZEALAND. " Civilisation has taken root, and is advancing with rapid strides among the native population of this district. They do more ; they offer to intending settlers the best guarantee they can desire for the future tranquillity of the district. The na tives are now most busily employed in the arts of peace; pleased with the progress they have made, they are most an xious to be further instructed; the fruits of their honest in dustry they dispose of to the settlers, and expend the proceeds in the purchase of British manufactures. They are too much interested, they have too much to lose, to allow the peace of the district to be disturbed; and the more roads are opened, and the means of communication i nproved, the more inti mately the races are brought together. In the very formation of these roads the European and Mori may be found working side by side. It is possible that disturbances may - occasionally occur, for with Rangalliata and those who act with him the old leaven still remains ; but the great hulk of the native popula ' lation are peaceably disposed, and rapidly advancing in civi lisation. Let the force now in this part of the island be main tained for a few years longer; let the present influences now at work be suffered to have their free development; let the firm but kindly policy now pursued towards the natives be perse vered in, and we have the surest pledges of the rapid progress and prosperity of the colony. " The progress made in every way in New Zealand within the last three years, and the first two under such disadvantageous circumstances, reflects the greatest credit on the present go vernor, whose indefatigable exertions have been crowned with unexampled success ; inspiring those who are already out in the colony with hope of a speedy return for their care and hardship's, and those who are thinking of going out, with con fidence as to the ultimate issue of the undertaking. The pre sent drawback to poor people of gentility emigrating is the voyage out under the present system." We most cordially recommend this little volume to our readers. Its perusal will tend to stimulate to the perusal of more elaborate works; and of itself it will dissipate many wrong impressions with respect to these colonies.

THE VICES OF WHAT ARE TERMED PURE TRIBES OF MEN.-It is a fact of ethnology, that while a tribe of men, kept to itself and free from foreign admixture, pre serves its natural good qualities in undiminished excel lence through numerous ages, all its natural vices become increased in intensity and vitality by the same circum stances of isolation. Look at the miserable Irish always standing in their own light; look at the Spaniards, keep ing to themselves, and stifling all their noble qualities by the permanence of their national vices ; look at the tribes of Asia, doomed to perpetual subjection while they re main unmixed in blood. Had the Saxons remained with uncrossed blood, they had still been stolid, heavy, dream ing, impracticable Germans, though they had peopled the plains of England ; but, when mixed with the Celts and Danes, they formed the Lowland Scots, the most indus trious and caniest chiels in the wide world: fused with the Dane and Norman, and subsequently mixed with all people, they became Englishmen—rerun domini—like the Romans of old. It may be mortifying enough to national pride, but the fact is, nevertheless, patent and certain, that extensive admixture of blood commonly benefits a nation more than all its geographical advantages. --Blackwood's Magazine. GAMBLING. — This vice has been practised by the most civilised and enlightened people, as well as by the most barbarous and ignorant. The coronetted legislator of the foremost nation in refinement has been known to sacri fice a princely income to this passion. No station is free from its degrading influence. The brutal bull-baiter, and the most profound thinker have alike met ruin in its vortex. An instance of the latter occurred in the case of an author of European celebrity, who, in one of his works, said, " The gamester, if he dies a martyr to his pursuit, is doubly ruined ; he adds his soul to every other loss, and by the act of suicide renounces earth to forfeit heaven !" The man who wrote that sentence was him self a gambler, and ultimatety a suicide ! Such is the result of this demoralizing habit, commenced perhaps in a state of dissipated ennui, and continued through a viti ated state of the digestive organs, entailing a morose, peevish, and discontented a state of mind, the whole of which might have been prevented by the occasional use of that mild aperient, Frampton's Pill of Health. AFRICAN JUGGLING FEATS WHICH BEAT THE SCOTCH WizAans.—After the feast came music, dancing, and a variety of juggling feats. The dancing girls were beautiful and very graceful in their movements, and the conjuring tricks were novel and performed with great skill. Some of them were truly wonderful, as, for instance, turning a man into a tree bearing fruit, and with monkeys skipping about in the branches ; and another case, where the chief juggler apparently swallowed five men, ten boys, and a jackass, threw them all up again, turned himself inside out, blew himself up like a balloon, and exploding with a loud report, disappeared in a puff of lurt.inous vapour. My companions declared that we had got into a country of enchanters, and I could not but admire the skill with which the tricks were performed, although I was too much of a Yankee to be much astonished at anything in the hey! presto ! line.—Kaloolah, or Journeyings to the Djael Kumri. A YANKEE DOCTOR'S NOTIONS UPON THE MODE 01 , BESTOWING THE BODIES OF THE DEAD.—The Romans burned, the Egyptians embalmed, and we bury our dead ; while some of the Tarter tribes expose them on stages for the birds to peck at ; and the Ilindoos chuck them into the sacred river. Mere fashions, all of them, and fashions must change. Ours is the least useful, and in these days of utility, I'm sure it cannot last long. Only to think, that the Christian and civilised portion of the eighty-six thousand, who daily leave their bodies behind them, is of no service, unless it is to poison the air, fatten worms, or stimulate the rank and uncropped herbage of the grave yard. True, those slain in battle are not wholly thrown away—they say that the crops at Waterloo are uncom monly fine ; but then battle-fields are too rare to amount to much in that way, and besides they are seldom or never selected with a proper reference to agricultural purposes. The dead are also heaped up too much, and the piles of bodies are never afterwards properly distributed. Now, by a judicious system of skirmishing over a large extent of arable land, armies that were impoverishing a country on the one hand, might be enriching it with their blood and bones on the other. I wonder the potentates of the earth, who are always studying the welfare of their subjects, have never taken the subject into consideration, as it is the only argument that I know of in favour of war. If, in ad dition to this, bodies were freely given up for dissection, the oft-quoted reflection of Hamlet upon the possible ap plication of Caesar's clay to a bung-hole, would be de prived of half its point. " Base," as applied to our post mortem uses, would cease to be true, and many a man would be of more real service to the world after death than he ever was during life. The fashion would be use fill too, as furnishing tests of respectability. Each family might have a room devoted to the purpose, where their departed, but preserved, relatives would be arranged. Just think of a man with a garret-full of great grandfa thers—whocould doubt his claims to respectability ? espe cially if at the same time he had money in the - bank ! .Kaloolah, or fourneyingis to the Djeliel Kumri. SPECIAL VESTRY MEETING Y.- _ ESTERDAY. Yesterday a Special Vestry was held for the purpose of receiving an address to the inhabitants of this town, from the Rev. Rector Campbell, in answer to the charges which had been preferred against the Vestry by the General Board of Health. The Rev. Rector Campbell occupied the chair, and the following members of the Board were also present :—Messrs. Harbord, Abrahams, Cafferatta, Ireland, Molyneux, Mellor, Blain, Clarke, Willmer, Brown, Cairn, Dover, Johnson, and Gardner. Before the proceedings commenced, The CHAIRMAN (addressing himself to our reporter,) referred to the document which was about to be submitted to the meeting, and said that the address, even if adopted, must not appear in the papers of to-morrow. The re porter must therefore not consider himself at liberty to publish it unless he had the express authority of the meeting for doing so. The address, which was a lengthy document, was then read, but in consequence of the restrictions imposed upon us by the intimation recorded above, we are prevented from giving it in extenso. It went into a detailed expla nation of the course pursued by the vestry, from a period antecedent to the breaking out of the cholera in Liverpool, with the view of proving that the charges made against them by the General Board of Health were not at all war ranted by the facts, With regard to the hospital-in Queen Ann-street, it stated that although Dr. Duncan, the medi cal officer of health had recommended its removal to another district, the vestry did not consider it advisable to remove it in consequence of its proximity to Districts where cholera might be expected to prevail. It then went on to say that had Dr. Duncan been more frank and com municative to the vestry much more might have been done. It complained of the want of courtesy shewn to the vestry by Mr. Grainger, one of the government medical officers of health, when he was in Liverpool, and after going into the particulars of what had been done by the vestry,—alluding in severe terms to the im putations which had been conveyed upon► them by the Board of Health, by stating that they had " done no thing," and " violated the law," it went on to state that such a report as had been issued by the Board of Health did not become the gravity or the dignity of such a board, which ought always to be cautious in the statements they made. The Medical Relief Committee or the Vestry might not have done all that it was possible, but they had done all that it was in their power to do. It was not true that deaths had been caused by the neglect alleged by the Board of Health, but were traceable to causes over which the Vestry had no control. The address concluded with observing that the Vestry trusted the people of Liverpool would treat them with more justice than the Board of Health had done. Mr. HARBORD moved that the address read be received and adopted, and printed for circulation in the town. The motion having been seconded, Mr. ABRAHAM (chairman of the medical relief com mittee) rose, and said that generally speaking he agreed with the contents of the report. There were, however. two or three allusions on subjects to which it referred, with which he could not agree. In the first place be did not agree with the censure thrown on Dr. Duncan. He had had numerous and unreserved conversations with Dr. Duncan, and he (Mr. A.) believed that the great mistake had been that they had expected from Dr. Duncan what none but a salaried officer ought to be called upon to per form, and he thought that the evil had been in not ap pointing such a person. Neither could he agree with the allusion thrown on Mr. Grainger, and he must really confess, that whatever other members of the board might think to the contrary, that he never saw anything offensive in his manners when he was down in Liverpool, and he (Mr. A.) believed that the main cause of their not having, in June, made the medical appointments about which so much had been said, was to be attributed to the peremptory order received from the board of health. His own impression was, that had Mr. Grainger been left to himself, he would have carried out the house visitation in a far more satisfactory manner than it had been done. As there seemed to be a number of little matters on which the address required some slight amendments, he thought the best way of proceeding would be to read it over again, and consider it paragraph by paragraph. The CHAIRMAN thought there would be some difficulty in doing so. After some further irregular conversation, Mr. ABRAHAM proceeded to contend that up to the time that Mr. Grainger came down there was no occasion for complaining of Dr. Duncan's conduct towards the Vestry. After a few remarks from the Chairman on this subject, in defence of the allegations contained in the address which he had drawn up, Mr. ABRAHAM continued, expressing it as his opinion that at the period referred to Dr. Duncan did not consi der that the Vestry was not doing its duty. He reiterated his opinion that it was in consequence of Dr. Duncan not being a servant of the Vestry at the time that all the mis understanding had arisen. Mr. HARBORD said that by an arrangement made with the Health Committee of the Town Council before the cholera broke out as an epidemic, Dr. Duncan was under stood to be a servant of the Vestry, and his services were to be given to them, if required. Mr. BROWN agreed that Dr. Duncan had not been sufficiently explicit to the Vestry. He had frequently asked him questions, and could InA obtain from him any clear or satisfactory answer which he could understand. The CHAIRMAN said that what he complained of was, that when Dr. Duncan was writing to the Board of Health, finding fault with the Vestry, he did not come torwareand complain to the Vestry itself. Why did he not come to him (the Chairman). and say, " You are not doing your duty ?" Had he done so, he must have known that he (the Chairman) would have said to him, " I will do all I can to make the Vestry know their duty, and keep them to it." At that time Dr. Duncan did not say one word as to neglect of duty on the part of the Vestry, although he (the Chairman) was inviting him to do so, if necessary. Mr. ABRAHAM maintained that at that time Dr. Duncan did not think that the vestry was not doing its duty, and he bad no objection to the reporters stating it to the public that, up to the time of Mr. Grainger coming to Liverpool, Dr. Duncan never expressed the slightest dis satisfaction with the proceedings of the vestry, except on the question as to whether the house in Queen Anne street should be used as an hospital, or as a house of refuge. Dr. Duncan's opinion was that it should be closed at once as an hospital, but be continued as a house of refuge. The Medical Relief Committee did not at once close it as an hospital, but determined to keep it open as such until other premises were obtained, and at this Dr. Duncan did express his dissatisfaction. The CHAIRMAN could not then understand what Dr. Duncan meant by stating that the Vestry had neglected its duty for three months before the period alluded to. Mr. ABRAHAM. No, that was not Dr. Duncan's statement, but the statement of the Board of Health. Mr. DOVER thought it was much to be regretted that one of their own servants should be allowed to make complaints against them to the Board of Health, without their knowledge. There was no doubt that Dr. Duncan was placed in an awkward position, but he (Mr. Dover) could not help feeling that he had not pursued a proper course. After some further discussion all allusions to Dr. Duncan were struck out of the address, the chairman, ' however, expressing it as his opinion that they were per fectly just, Mr. ABRAHAM objected to the wording of it, on the ground that if left as it was it would convey an impression that the Medical Relief Committee had no intention of removing it. Now, he again wished it to be distinctly understood that the Medical Relief Committee only in tended to keep it open until they got another ; but they had great difficulty, for people would not let them pre mises for some time, on any terms. After some conversation, the alteration, as suggested by Mr. Abraham, was made in the address. On that part of the address being read which stated that the Committee had done their best, but that they might possibly have been able to do more had Dr. Suther land come down instead of Mr. Grainger, Mr. ABRAHAM again objected and expressed a contrary opinion. On the paragraph in the address referring to the cholera hospital in Queen Anne-street being read, The CHAIRMAN.—Did Mr. Abraham mean to say that if they had had Dr. Sutherland amongst them they would not have been able to do more ? He had no wish to say a word against Dr. Duncan ; but he certainly was of opi nion that he was deficient in energy and decision. It ap peared to him that he took a long time to make up his mind, and that was what he (the chairman) complained of. He repeated it to be his belief that if Dr. Sutherland had been here more might have been done. Mr. ABRAHAM said most distinctly that he did not be lieve they could have done more. Mr. HARBORD was of opinion, that with Dr. Suther land's services the medical relief committee might have done more, although at one time he was of a different opinion. He could not forget that Dr. Sutherland had of fered his services to superintend the arrangement of their medical staff, and he thought much more might have been effected had Dr. Duncan used greater exertions on this matter. He must, however, do Dr. Duncan the justice to say that he had complained of not being summoned to at tend the meetings of the medical relief committee. After some further discussion of an exceedingly irre gular character, Mr. BROWN expressed his conviction that if Dr. Su therland and Mr. Grainger had kept away from Liverpool, the medical relief committee would have been in a much better condition for affording relief in cases of cholera, because they differed in their notions of what was the right kind of treatment. One of these gentlemen said they must do one thing, whilst the other recommended an entirely opposite course of proceeding. It was quite clear, therefore, that in any case the Vestry would have been blamed by the Board of Health in either case, in consequence of the opposite advice given to the Vestry of their own own officers. The CHAIRMAN observed that the paragraph in the address under consideration did not state anything po sitive. It merely stated that more might possibly have been done under the circumstances alluded to. The paragraph was then ordered to stand as it then was. The next paragraph referred to in the address was a statement alluding to the closing two of the parish ceme teries within the borough, and the opening of St. Mar tin's cemetery, and the purchase of the new cemetery for £13,000. On this considerable discussion was raised by a remark which fell from Mr. ABRAHAM, who said that the purchase of the new cemetery was made in consequence of both the other cemeteries in the town being full, and without any refer ence whatever to the cholera. Notwithstanding that the cemetery had been closed, it had not yet been used, but interments still took place in the town. Mr. JOHNSON thought it was most important that the fact of their having expended £13,000 on a new cemetery, at a distance from the town, should be stated in the address, as it would tell in their favour much more than anything else. Some discussion having taken place upon St. Martin's cemetery, Mr. DOVER expressed his opinion that the neighbour hood was very healthy ; and although an opinion had gone abroad to the contrary, the cemetery was not more than half full. It was in an open locality, with four wide streets surrounding it, and there had not been more than two or three cases of cholera within the two or three streets sur rounding it on each side. He thought this fact should be stated, because the Health Committee of the Town Coun cil was calling on them to close the cemeteries in the town. The CHAIRMAN regarded it as of the greatest possible importance that the purchase of the new cemetery for £13,000 should remain in the address. He considered that statement in itself would go further in their favour than all the rest of it. It would prove that they had done in this respect what had not been done in London ; and if this statement could only be circulated through the me. dium of the Times, which had published the charges of the Board of Health, it was most desirable that it should be done. _ _ After some further discussion, it was unanimously agreed that the statement should remain as part of the address. _ _ . _ The other portions of it having been considered, with the few alterations made in it, the address was adopted by the meeting, and ordered to be made public through the medium of the newspapers. The meeting broke up about one o'clock. DANCING AND DEPORTMENT. MR. H.

Sir Hugh of Lincoln ; or, an Examination of a cu rious Tradition respecting the Jews, with a Notice of the Popular Poetry connected with it. By the Rev. Abraham Hume, LL.D., F.S.A. London : John Rus sell Smith, 4, Old Compton-street, Soho. 1849. TEIE interesting pamphlet, under the above title, was read by Dr. Hume, before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, on the 13th November, 1848, and is printed in the Transactions of the Society. It is here given to the public in a somewhat enlarged form. The tradition, which Dr. Hume justly considers as scandalous and unfounded, is based upon a long-prevailing notion that the Jews were yearly in the habit of sacrificing a child by crucifixion, in ridicule of our Saviour's death ; and that one instance of this occurred in the case the child of a no ble family of Lincoln. The story is to be found in Matthew Paris, Chaucer, and some other authors ; and has formed the subject of a ballad, of which several ver sions, some of them imperfect, are in existence. We give the version furnished by Dr. Hume himself, who conceives the ballad not to be older than the close of the 16th, or the 17th century. SIR HUGH OF LINCOLN, OR THE JEW'S DAUGHTER. 'Twas on a summers's morning, Some scholars were playing at ball ; When out came the Jew's daughter And lean'd her back against the wall. She said unto the fairest boy Come here to me, Sir Hugh." 4 ' No ! I will not," said he, Without my playfellows too." She took an apple out of her pocket, And trundled it along the plain; And who was readiest to lift it, Was little Sir Hugh, again. ,She took him by the milk-white hen', An' led him through many a hall, Until they came to one stone chamber, Where no man might hear his call. She set him in a goolden chair, And jogg'd him with a pin; And called for a goolden cap To houl' his heart's blood in. . She tuk him by the yellow hair, An' also by the feet ; An' she threw him into the deep draw well, It was fifty fadom deep. Day over, the night came on, And the scholars all went home, Then every mother nad her son, But little Sir Hugh's had none. She put her mantle about her head, Tuk a little rod in her han', An' she says. Sir Hugh, if I fin' you here, I will bate you for stayin' so long. First she went to the Jew's door, But they were fast asleep ; An' then she went to the deep draw-well, That was fifty fadom deep. She says, "Sir Hugh, if you be here, As I suppose you be, If ever the dead or quick arise, Arise and speak to me." Yes mother, dear, I am here, I know I have stayed very long : But a little penknife was stuck in my heart, Till the stream ran down full strong. And mother, dear, when you go home, Tell my playfellows all, That I lost my life by leaving them When playing that game of ball. And ere another day is gone, My winding-sheet prepare, And bury me in the green church-yard, Where the flowers are bloomin' fair. Lay my Bible at my head, My Testament at my feet; The earth and worms -shall be my bed, Till Christ and I shall meet. Reminiscences of Twelve Months' Service in New Zea land as a Midshipman, .during the late Disturbances in that Colony. By Lieut. H. F. M`Killop, R.N. London : Richard Bentley, New Burlington -street. 1849. Bvo., pp. 275. THE period most vitally important in the history of this interesting colony—which is destined to be, at no distant day, one of the most valuable of the British possessions in the Pacific—was probably that over which this little brochure extends; viz., from the beginning of 1846 to 1847. The early progress of the settlements founded in New Zealand had been retarded from many concurrent causes. From the time of Captain Cook's visit in 1769, a feeling of bitterness had existed on the part of the native population towards the whites, caused by the ag gressions and outrages practised by the crews of whalers and other vessels calling at the Bay of Islands and Cook's Straits. Many acts of unjustifiable insult had been com mitted, which had been terribly retaliated by the New Zealanders. After the colonisation of the country by the New Zealand Company, misunderstandings soon arose out of the eagerness of the settlers to get possession of tracts, for which the chiefs subsequently discovered, or imagicted, that they had been very inadequately paid— that, in fact, they had been taken advantage of. The Government had also purchased large tracts, under simi lar easy terms ; and an unpleasant feeling had sprung up between its officers and the Company. Even the mis sionaries were said not to have been guiltless of the charge of land jabbing. Suits were brought by the natives for increased prices for their lands, on the plea that they had been duped, which were decided sometimes for and some times against the settlers; and the whole fabric of society had become disorganised. The arrival of Governor Grey was an opportune one ; and to his mingled firmness, sa gacity, and sense of justice in his treatment of the dis putes between the contending parties, is mainly to be attributed the quelling of the disturbances and savage butcheries which resulted. The writer of the little work before us, who arrived out in the Bay of Islands in H.M.S. Calliope in Dec. 1845, and took part in the concluding operations against the insurgent native chiefs, gives us a brief but succinct sketch of the previous history of the colony, and the causes which had led to the outbreak. His descriptions of the leading rebels and the native allies of the British — John Heki, Tomati Wake, Rangahiata, Pueha, &c.—are very graphic. We give here a description of one of these bloodthirsty desperadoes : THE NEW ZEALAND CHIEF RAUPARAHA, " ' The history of Rauparaha,' says Colonel Wakefield, ' is the most eventful, and worthy of record, of any existing New Zealand chief. His expulsion, and that of all his numerous and powerful tribe, from their native district, Kafia, by the Waikato and Bay of Islands hosts, is well known to you, from the mention it has received in numerous works on this coun try. Their forcible seizure and occupation in their turn of all the coast land on both sides of this strait has also been de scribed; but the means he has employed for the aggrandise ment of his people, and the causes of his preEminence and in fluence amongst all classes and clans, extending also to the fo reign residents and visitors in the southern parts of these islands, have not been dwelt on.' Itnuparaha is at least sixty years old. When a young man, he acquired a reputation for strength and courage, founded on his skill in native warfare, which his wiliness and success in all his undertakings have preserved to him in his old age. He came from Kafia as the fighting general of Ti Pahi ; and after the death of the latter at Otago, by Tairoa and the Southern tribes, became chief of the tribe. To revenge Ti Pahi's death, which was accomplished by tying him up by the heels to a tree. and cutting his throat, from which his enemies sucked his blood, Rauparaha engaged with the master of an English vessel, by name Stewart, to carry him and some of his people to Otago, under pretence of a trading voyage, where the master coaxed on board a leading chief of the tribe and his family. Some of these were imme diately killed ; after which Rauparaha and Stewart, with their myrmidons, landed and laid waste the settlements, killing every man, woman, and child that came in their way. The chief who had been enticed on board was made fast in the c abin by a hook through his throat; and, in despair at seeing ORDINATION AT CHESTER.

The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Trent, Captain W. Clarke, arrived at Southampton on Sunday night, with the usual West Indian and Mexican mails. The general elections were progressing. Up to the time of the packet's departure 35 members had been returned, of whom 23 were advocates of retrenchment. __ Two new daily papers had been started in Kingston, advocating retrenchment principles. The weather had become rather more agreeable, and some fine showers had fallen. The crops promised fair for 1850. The island was rather unhealthy and some deaths by dysentery and yellow fever are reported. The commercial intelligence is again generally unfa vourable. Business in all departments was very dull. Su2ar was quoted 19s. to 225. per 100 lb. Rum was also in active demand. MISS WHITNALL'S CONCERT.—We must remind our readers of this musical treat, which will be given on Mon day next. We mistake if it be not the great treat of the season. THE COUNCIL MEETING YESTERDAY.—SeveraI of the members of the Town Council were absent yesterday, owing to a press of engagements, but it is only right to say, that Mr. Neill paired off, on the occasion, with Mr. James Holme, as (lid Mr. Tyrcr, with Mr. Wagstaff. ROBBERY FROM A PUBLIC-HOUSE.--Yesterday, two youths, William Lynch and John Croft, were charged with having, on Saturday, stolen from the house of Mr. Edmund Kirkby, Great Newton-street, a bottle contain ing a pint of whisky, and 4s. 6d. from the money drawer. They were observed by a smart young woman named" Sarah Mullin, who attended the bar, and she took such means led to their immediate apprehension. Upon Croft there was found a base half-crown.—They were both committed for trial. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—Buckstone and Mrs. Fitz william have been the stars here during the past week, and have made a great hit. " The Daughter of the Regi ment," in particular, was received with enthusiasm, and repeated to a crowded house. The piece was splendidly put on the stage. Last night, Mr. Cathcart commenced a series of Shaksperian plays, in Romeo, Miss Fielding making a very pleasing Juliet. We may state that Mr. Cathcart is engaged by Mr. C. Kean to appear in her Majesty's private theatricals, and will also be a stock tra- - gedian at Covent-garden, next season. On Thursday, Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam commence a second en gagement of four nights. PROTESTANT ORPHAN SOCIETY FOR IRELAND.—it will be seen that during next week a series of meetings will be held in this town and neighbourhood, for the pur pose of promoting the objects of this valuable society, which has now been in existence twenty-one years, and (luring that period, has afforded an asylum for eight hundred and twenty-two orphans, who, without its assis tance, would have been, probably, left to grow up as pests to society and torments to themselves. The society provides diet, lodging, clothing, and scriptural education, for the destitute orphans of deceased Protestants, and ap prentices them to masters of approved principles and con duct. It has the support of all the leading personages in the sister country, and at this period of unhappy Ireland's condition, calls for special attention. At the last election there were 58 candidates, out of which but twelve were alected, the funds not permitting the committee to admit a greater number; hence no fewer than 46 of them are still waiting another election ; again to be brought into competition with others whose circumstances, perhaps, mav present a still more pitiable aspect. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY, AND CLEVER DETECTION.—On . the Bth instant, Mr. Hunt, sailmaker, Harrington-street, received two £lOO notes from the Union Bank here, and also a £lO note and some silver. These he almost imme diately deposited in his drawer, at his office, and locket them up. He had occasion to go out for a short time, and on his return missed the whole amount. About a week since, a woman went to the shop of Mr. Falkner, draper, Athol-street, Douglas, Isle of Man, where she made some purchases, presenting a £lOO note, for which change was given. Mr. Falkner subsequently saw in the - papers a notice of the robbery, and upon inquiry it turned out that the note paid by the female was one of those stolen. The facts were immediately communicated to Liverpool and Manchester, and a supposition being enter tained that thewomanhad not left the island,Joseph Bates, one of the detective police, was sent over, and the female being recognised there, she was immediately taken into custody, and subsequently, the officer found another £lOO note upon her. Her husband, father, and a servant girl, supposed to be accomplices, were also taken into custody. The parties, who gave the names of Maher, and the girl, who gave her name as Frances Sharpe, were brought up at the Police-court yesterday, and remanded for a week. THEATRICALS AT THE ANTIPODES.—Soon after our ar rival we received a playbill which rather surprised us ; having been given to understand at Auckland that this place was so interior a settlement to the capital that thea tricals seemed quite out cf place. Curiosity, however, in duced many of us to go to see what the place was like. We went accordingly, and found the house so full that it was with considerable difficulty we could get up to our perches—which we were told were the boxes. However, by dint of pulling from above and pushing from below, we managed to get into them. The ladder which had been placed for the accommodation of the audience mount ing to these seats, had been broken before our arrival, by some of the audience during a slight disturbance. As soon as our eyes had become accustomed to the cloudy at mosphere, which was strongly impregnated with tobacco smoke, we discovered the stage and its recesses. The piece was just about to commence, the pit having come to an amicable understanding with each other, after consi derable demonstrations of pulling the boxes down and an nihilating the occupants. The first actor who made his appearance was greeted with such a shout, and underwent such an impertinent cross-examination as to where he had procured his red striped pantaloons, how the moustache was stuck on, &c., that he could not proceed. This be ing highly irregular, the manager came on to request that order might be kept; unfortunately for himself, lie was known to the colonists as a vocalist, and was accordingly called upon for a song in such an energetic manner, that, to save the stage from being upset, he sang " The Ad miral ;" and being in the costume of " Macbeth," it had the whole a pleasing effect. He was loudly applauded- , for his good-nature, which, however, was further put to , the test by the wilful hearers calling on their first friend of cameand e a e n e g i %aetdleast w a a lf p - tad the red striped trowsers to favour them in a si m il ar wa y : songs o the n re m h on were he, however, not being prepared to pe r f orm i n thi s wa y, was hissed off the stage, and orde r wa s no t res t ore d until one aote succession,s ss which applause. The piece was then com menced. and went on smoothly for half-an-hour, when poor Macbeth happen ing to be left alone on the stage to get through some long soliloquy, the wayward audience, knowing him to be a dancing -master and excelling in the sailor's hornpipe, de manded it in a manner which would not bear a refusal. The fiddlers were accordingly ordered. in a very peremp tory manner, to strike up ; and poor Macbeth was obligtd to start of. His long sword rather interfering with his steps, he laid it aside and went to work in capital style, which brought forth such shouts of delight and uproarious peals of laughter, accompaniid by such stamping and screams and other symptoms of excessive approbation, that in a few minutes down came the boxes, the supports having been knocked away from ben: atb. This brought the hornpipe to a finale, and with it the whole of the per formance. We, who had shared the downfal of the boxes, were glad to get out into the fresh air, having luckily es caped with a few bruises.—Reminiscences of Twelee Months' Service in New Zealand.
