NEW ZEALAND.

By the Peri we have received our usual file's of
the Aucklandpapers to the 28th March last. From
the monthly summary of the New Zealander•.
of that date we make the following extracts :
The long , prevalence of south-easterly -winds
had the effect of keeping back the passenger-
ships beyond their time. The Blue Jacket
arrived, on the 16th, and the Frenchman and
Lord Biirleigh on the 22nd. -The respective pas-
sages were 111, 104, and 125 'days. The prog•iebs
of actual settlement continues, steady and highly
encouraging. No mouth, indeed, has witnessed
a larger quantity of land taken up than this
month of March—and the arrivals by the last
ships are the most active in looking after their
"forty acres," and selecting them.
An extensive fire had occurred in Auckland,
which had destroyed a considerable block of
brick buildings. The damage was estimated at
about £6,000. The natives had rendered great
assistance in extinguishing the fire.
Coal has been discovered at Wangaroa.

The current rate of wages at Auckland. in
March, 1860, was as follows :
Bakers, from 20s. to 30s. per week, with board and
lodging; bricklayers and masons, 10s. to 12s. per day
(good hands get 125.); blacksmithi (if able to shoe and
do all sorts of country work), Bs. to 9s. per day (not
wanted at present) ; house carpenters, joiners, wheel-
wrights, &c., from 6s to 8s per day ; farm servants
(single), from £25 to £35 per annum, with board and
lodging ; farm servants (married couples), £5O per
annum, with board and 16dging; glaziers and painters,
7s to lOs per day; female (domestic servants), from £2O
to £3O per annum.

One hundred and fifty feet of the extension of the
Admiralty Pier, at Dover, may now be seen at low
water.

Another poor man appeared before Mr. Selfe,
at the Thames. Police Court, yesterday, to com-
plain of the stoppage of his annuity by the United
Kingdom Benevolent Fund.
SWISS POLITICAL BANQUET.—A committee of the
Swiss residents in England have resolved to entertain
at a public dinner M. A. de la Rive, the Minister of
the Confederation. The incident, at any time a very
interesting one, is particularly so at the present morudnt,
and may prove an important expression of political
opinion and sympathy, The dinner will take place on
Thursday next, at the London Tavern.
DEATH OF MR. COMMISSIONER MURPHY.—Mr. Com-
missioner Murphy, of the Insolvent Debtors' Court,
died at his residence, at Kensington, early on Sunday
morning. The deceased commissioner represented Cork
for about 20 years, and resigned on being appointed
commissioner' of the Insolvent Debtors' Court in 1853.
He was a member of Lincoln's-inn, and was called to
the bar in 1833, and in 20 years was appointed a com-
missioner of the court.
CRICKET.—ENGLAND v. AUSTRALIA.—The All Eng-
land Eleven are not coming out to this colony. George
Parr positively declines to risk another sea voyage after
the American expedition, and Wisden shares in his com-
panion's fears. Two Cambridge gentlemen express their
willingness to come if they are allowed -t3OO cash down
in addition to their expenses. Bat this, we fear, would
make it rather toe expensiVe a cricket match to be readily
undertaken.--Me/bourne Herald.
TILE PRINCESS. FREDERICK WILLIAM.—.The ap-
proaching .Entbitidimg of her Royal Highness the. Prin-
cess Frederick William is watched with great interest
by the inhabitants of this city, with whom the Princess
is and ever has been, a great favourite. The event, it
is rumoured, will be honoured by a visit of the Princess's
august mother, and though nothing is as yet known of-
ficially about this latter arrangement, the Berlinese are
already making great preparations for a worthy recep-
tion of both the gracious ruler of the British Isles, and
the as yet unknown "little stranger" of the lonigliches
Sehloss.—Berlin Correspondent of the Court News.
THE NEW ITALIAN KINGDOM.—From the facial
table of the late elections in the New Italian Kingdom,
just published, we find that the total number of electoral
colleges, and consequently of deputies, was 387 before
the cession of Savoy and- Niee to .France. From this
number, we must now deduct eight deputies for the
province of Annecy, ten for that of Chatubery, and four
for the arrondissement of Nice, supposing the French
frontier to stop at Vintimiglia exclusively, as stated
some time ago by Count Cavour. Hence the total
number of deputies in the Italian chamber will hence-
forth be 365, as many as the days in the year.
THE LATEST CONCERNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
From Wilkes' (New York) Spirit of the Times we learn,
that Sayers and Heenan will give pugilistic encounters,
all in a friendly way, in the United States, after they
have concluded their engagement with the proprietOrs
of the Cremorne Gardens, London, where they have
engaged for $6,250 each for a month's sparring. Mean-
while, Heenan has challenged Morrissey for any sum
from twenty thousand dollars down to ten cents, to suit
MorrisseY's pocket. From the latest letters of Mr.
Wilkes, we learn that Heenan and Sayers are now fast
and fixed friends.
A SINGULAR SUICIDE.—As a French Custom-house
officer was, a few days ago, on duty at a place called
Niffer, on the banks of the Rhine, he, saw a small boat
approaching, in which was a man apparently about
thirty-five Years of age. When within speaking dis-
tance, the individual in the boat, addressing the offiecr
in German, said, " I request you to take charge of this
little boat, and send it back to the Baden village of
Kirchen. As for rue, lam about to proceed to America,
as lam a good swimmer." So saying, he jumped into
the water, and was carried away by the current. No-
thing was found in the boat to lead to the identity
of the individual, who appeared, from his dress, to
belong to a respectable class of society. He had on
a light summer trousers, a grey paletot, and a brown
beaver hat.
SHOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday
afternoon an accident, which terminated fatally, occur-
red to Mr: Southgate, many years foreman in the mach-
ine department of the Weekly Dispatch. It appears
that the deceased was in the act of replacing the "strap"
on the "rigger" of the machine, which had come to a
stand-still by its displacement, when the engine was put
in motion before he had completely finished, and the
consequence was that a portion of the clothes of the
unfortunate mall gOt entangled with the " flange " of
the shaft, drawing in his body, which was carried round
several times, his head and limbs striking the wall with
great violence on each revolution. As speedily as p6s-
sible the engine was stopped, and with great difficulty
the unfortunate man was released, his clothes having to
be cut from him in order to enable4them to do so. Two
surgeons were promptly in attendance, and immediately
recommended him to be taken to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, where he expired shortly after his admission.
The deceased was highly respected by the trade, and his
death is much deplored by those connected with the
establishment.

PERIL OF GARIBALDI ATSFA.—Whenthe two
steamers were out at sea beyond the Sardinian coast,
Garibaldi gave orders that there should be no lights
on board during the night. Wishing to take a
little rest, he left the deck in charge to his second,
desired him not to lose sight of his consort,
which was commanded by Bixio. But this steamer
was the faster of the two, and after a few hours
it became so dark that she could no longer be seen.
Garibaldi was called, and he then ordered a lantern
to be hoisted as a signal, so as to let Bixio see
that he was too far ahead, and must slacken speed.
Bixio did, in fact, see the light ; but knowing
Garibaldi's order to have none on board after nightfall,
he concluded that it was some Neapolitan ship giving
chase. On the instant, he wore his own vessel round and
steered right against the sapposed craft of the enemy,
with the intention of running into her and knocking a
hole in her side if possible. But when the two vessels
neared each other,. Garibaldi, by the faint glimmering
of the stars, saw and recognised his consort, and havig
rung the large bell on board, a signal previously agreed
upon between himself and Bixio; and springing to the
wheel, be avoided the collision. But for the chief's
nerve and presence of mind the expeditionary force
would have been destroyed then and there, and Gari-
baldi have been sent to the bottom by his best friend,
who would have perhaps shared his fate. Captain
Gastaldi, who is a young seaman, comparatively, being
only seven and twenty, shook with emotion as he was
describing this scene.—. Letter from Turin,
