NEW ZEALAND.--We are in possession of intelligence
from the several settlements in New Z.miand-to-Oecember
5. The goVernor arrived at Nelson on the Ist of November.
His excellency was present at the ceremony of opening the
new Odd Fellow's Hall, aid received addresses of con-
gratulation from the several public bodies of that settle-
ment. 0 i the sth of November the governor held a
levt e, being t he first event of that nature which had taken
at Nelson. From Canterbury we learn that the bishop of
New Zealand and Mrs. Selwyn arrived at Ctiristchurch,
in the bishop's yacht, the Southern Cross, on the 6th of

November.

SUICIDE AND MURDER IN PARIS.—A dreadful .crime
has just thrown the commune of Grenelle, near Paris,
into the utmost agitation. A hairdresser named Boulan
occupied for some time past a shop, in the Rue du Haut
Transit, 10, and appeared to do much business. He had
with him three illegitimate children, two girls aged res-
pectively nine and seven, and a •boy of two years, all
remarkable for their beauty and intelligence. The
mother of the children had some months back quitted
Boulan, after a quarrel wEich, had arisen betw'een them.
re'gterday morning the neighbours were surprised to find
the shop still closed at nine o'clock, and information of
the circumstance being given to the commissary of police
he ordered the• door, to .be .forced open. A dreadful
spectacle then presented itself to the view of the persons
who entered, being nothing less than four dead bodies
hanging from large nails in the wall—those of the•three
children and of the father himself. On the table was a
piece of paper containing these words:—" I have volun-
tarily put an end to myself and to my three children."
The bodies were at once cut down and medical aid called
in, but every effort to restore -animation was in vain,
death having taken place several hours b tore. The cause
of this dreadful crime is unknown, but the presumption
is that Boulan must have been seized with mental aberra-
tion.—Gatignani.

Simms nv A CLERGYMAN.—Considerable sensation was
created on Mond,iy in the eastern. district of Glasgow,
regarding a report tha,: the clergyman who officiates in
Christ Church (Episcopalian) had committed suicide. It
would appear that deceased conducted the services in the
church on S.bbath forenoon in a very excited manner. He
appeared to be very much affected, either 4*. trouble or
o herwise ; at all events, his conduct in the pulpit. was such
as to convince all present that something unusual was wrong.
He, however, returned to the church in the afternoon, but
in such an excited state that a fete of the members deemed
it prudent .to pr.lient hint proceediniwith the Aervice. A
cab was accordingly procured, and the unfortunate gentle-
man waszonveyed to his lodgings. When he reached home,
he was very much excit td. Nothing •unusual, h :wever, was
observed till the following morning., when, on his landlady
entering his bedroom, shortly after eight o'clock, she dis-
covered that he had hanged himself. Deceased's name is
C. F. R. Smith. He was successor to Mr. T. Fenner.—

THE LATE ABDeCTION CASE.—On Tuesday, vv hen
Alderman Sir R. W. Carden was presiding magisterially
at the mansion house in London, several letters reached
him on the subject of the recent abduction of a young
female to Hamburg for immoral purposes. From one of
these letters we extract the following :—With reference

to the conversation I had with you on the 3 subject-of
inverghling English girls to Hamburg, I have now to
inform' you that, from what has come under my own
is
observations,eil a
both
ntihiz
Liverpool,Hamburgthere
no doubt that thered other 'parts of Ger-
many, as
is a large and regular traffic carried on between this
country and Germany In exporting English girls and
importing Germans. . One Of the parties most actively
engaged in this infamous traffic is a woman residing in
Liverpool, where she keeps a notorious house of ill-fame.
She is called.—, but I believe that her real name is
i —, and t is a well-known fact that she makes several
journeys to Hamburg in the course of a year, taking with
her English girls, and bringing back Germans, generally
speaking, of tender years—say 15 or 16, and I have heard
that on some occasions she has had children as young as
15. There can be no doubt that this is known to the
police; but I do not think that they have any means et
stopping it, or interfering, I may also observe that the
principal place where Vats traffic, is carried on is Hull,
from which Manchester and Liverpool are both supplied.

This splendid vessel was built at St. John, N. 8., by Messrs. John
M'Donald & Co , bgilders of the well-known Australian packet-

nesses, running from the lower deck shrive to the short floorheads,
and the whole celled over, fore and aft, with pitchpine. The lower

inches, the upper stringer and waterways are doVetal'ed into the

same style. Her 'tween decks are 8 feet high, wel. ventilated, and
