NEW ZEALAND.

Accounts have reac Auckland to the
end of September. All was quiet, and the colony
favourably reported of. At a meeting held by the
Maori population a memorial was adopted, and on
August 23, presented to the Governor by a number
of native chiefs appointed for the purpose.
The Settlers' Constitutional Association at Wel-
lington was actively canvassing all measures origi-
nating with the government, affecting the interests of
the community, and means were taken to prevent as
far as possible improper or injurious measures passing
into law.

The trustees of the savings bank, at Wellington,
have been placed in an awkward dilemma, want of
funds having forced the managers to reform payment
of the interest (501.) due on the government deben-
tures in which the funds of the bank are invested.
The trustees have in consequence addressed a memo-
rial to Lord Grey, praying payment of the amount.
The Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Wanganui, has recently dis-
covered, about 170 miles up the Wanganui river,
several caves of great extent, resembling the cele-
brated caves at K,rkdale, in Yorkshire, and having
embedded in the stalagnutic deposit the bones of the
Mos, and other extinct animal, of what geologists
call the Pleistioene period.

THE ADELPHI.

My Precious Betsy" is the title of a " new and
original farce" produced errs lest night. It was full of the
broad humour end pantomimic fun which usually enters so
largely isto the composition of Agelpha pieces. Mr. Wright
was to be men now dancing about the stage in postures not
unlike those assumed by certain wooden toys made to jerk
by means of mysterious strings pulled up and down, greatly
to the delight of their posse.son, and now " boaisatting "
Mr. Peal Bedford with a band-box, or whatever elm came to
hand. Messrs. Wright and Bedford's object being to amuse
the audience, and most of Bums present seeming to be highly
-ratified last night, it moat be allowed that " My Precious
Betsy " was successful.

SURREY THEATRE.

Lest night a Charley, en-
tiled Old Live and New Fortune," was produced at this
theatre. It is written with true poetic fervour, and has
many scenes of extreme beauty, although it must be
confused that the story is worked out by • snits of
dialogues rather then by any continuity of action. The
principle" which the author hu sought to illustrate is
similar to that which formed the basis of the Lady of
Lyons," where the struggle between love and pride in the
breast of the heroine is made to produce • wise and
instructive moral. The longings is in puts extremely
beautiful, and the author's power in this teepee;
has too often made him forget the dramatist in the poet.
Althouuh the plot wants simplicity, and its development is
marked by an absence of that skill in dramatic construction ,
which only experience can supply, the play, on the whole, '
does great credit to its author. It was tolerably well acted,
but the success which attended its production must be
mainly attributed to its own intrinsic merits. Mr. T. Mead
played Sir Archibald with considenble energy and good taste,
albeit he was somewhat too methodical in his declamation.
Mr. Crsswick performed La Roque, a character not very
well suited to him, but he counived to invest it with a en.
lain degree of int rest which produced a favourable impres-
sion. Madame Ponta as Sybil, and Miss Malcolm as Eve,
displayed feeling ar.d taste, evincing a due appreciation of
the varied beauties of their respective characters. At the
fall of the curtain the principal performers were called for,
and a loud demand was made fur the author, but he did not
come forward.

The English funds opened to-day at the closing
prices of Saturday. Consols were first called 943 to

LAMBE TH.

A FIGHT zzzzzz A. Thorby,J. IL
Galway. end T. F. Galway, were charged with being
engaged in a print tight.
From the testimony of several eonstablee, it appeared that
on the morning before, bl consequence of infermaticra they
received, they proomded to a field near Dulwich, and
there found a number of persons mumbled, and the
prisoners SUland and James Henry Galway M the act of
fighting in a ring formed by the crowd. On observing them
the constables approached the prisoners, end the others ran
away, but were su'.aequendy raptured.
In defence, the prisoner S Land said that Galway bed
sent him several written challenges, and stigmatised him as a
coward before he consented to fight him, and at lug* he
accepted the challenge.
Chlway, in reply, said that Sisland was in the constant
habit of insulting his brother, and his conduct was altegether
so had that he bad determined on giving him a threading.
The other prisoners said they were merely looking on.
Mr. Elliott remarked that such conduct on the Sabbath
morning was highly improper, and ordered ell the prisoners
te.put in bail for their good behaviour for one month.
DASTARDLY OUTRAOR BY • SOLDISR.—John Haller, a
private belonging to the 9th battalion of Royal Artillery, was
charged with committing a most violent and unmanly
smolt upon two respectable females. From the testimony
of Mrs. Agnes Watson and her daughter Mrs. Elisabeth
Melville, respectable Scotchwomen, it appeared that on Satur-
day nigh*, when returning from market, they were convers-
ing together, and just as they patted through Camberwell-
gate the prisoner, accosting them, said, " You are Irish."
They told him he was wrong, Brats begged him not to in-
terfere with them, but to attend to his own business He
kept on abusing them, and having looked about him and
seeing no one near he struck Mrs. Watson a violent blow
with a stick acre., her neck. He next struck her on the
bead, and the blow not only knocked her down senseless,
but inflicted a serious wound, which bled profusely.
The fellow repeated his blows, when the daughter
placed her armi over her head to protect her, and the come.
queues was that she received a severe injury on her right
hand. The prisoner having smashed his stack took to his
heels, but was secured and locked UP on the charge. Both
the complainants were still suffering severely from the serious
iejuties they received.
The prisoner, who seemed to treat the matte.r with app: -
rent indiflerence, said he was not sober at the time, sad that
one of the women spat in his face. This both the com-
plainants denied.
Mr. Elliott convicted the prisoner in two separate penalties
of 31. each, and directed in default of payment that he
should be impr soned 20 days for each assault.
A sergeant from the regiment said that he bad been
directed by is captain to attend to watch the case and re
port the resell, and also to inform his worship that it was not
intended to pay any penalty that might be inflicted.
The prisoner will, therefore, have to serve his 40 days
in prison.

CHINA.

The Orerktrad Friend of China, in its monthly sum-
mary, says the weather has been seuonable ; an
abundance of sunshine and rain, • hot steamy at-
mosphere, and violent thunder storms with heavy
squalls, have ogee more introduced a tropical rummer.
There is a considerable degree of sickness in
the garrison; during the past week or ten days
Karel of the soldiers have died, and upwards of
100 of the 88th have bees la the hospital at one time.l
The prevailing disease is fever, in most cease net of a II
violent type, but latterly, we regret to hear, that it
much resembles the levee aped years,and has carried
off several of its victims in a short time. Civilians
are tolerably healthy ; the deaths which have occurred
among them are old mass, invalids with impaired
constitutions.
This month closes another commercial year. May
it prove profitable to those engaged in the trade of
China! The losses in the as area 1844 have been
heavy ; but, while the great arm in India have been
prostrated one after another, the China firms—with
one szeoptien—have borne the shock firmly. The
taw seeps of tea and silk promise well ; and, with
me/ma lappets, we indulge:the hope that fee a term
of years trade will reward the industry of those m-
ow/ in it. But this depends in a great degree upon
OS moderation of shippers at home; it is now ewer-
, tamed that China can not take an unlimited qusatity
of British manufactures.
From Shanghai the reports of the grain orop are

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO riCOTLAND.

TER JOURNEY.

The Midland Railway Station in Leicester was besieged
by applicants for tiekets of adausioa while hsr Majesty,
Prince Allmot, and the Royal Mildest& passed through. on
their way to Scotland. The railway authorities bad placed
a long line of empty carriage tracks and coal war:gone on
eat& side of the male line, to Bern ss platforms for swea-
ters, and as early as 12 o'clock. two hours before tha train wan
expected, the entrances were thronged by persons anxious to
' secure a good place. At one o'clock the chore were opened,
and the two long ranges of truck sand waggons were speedily
filled, the company thus secommodated consisting of the
Mayor and family, Town Clot and family, the Borough
Magistrates. members of the Town Council, nearly all the
prtaelpal inhabitants of the town, and • number
of porous from the neighbouring villages. Thousand' of
permits, who were unable to obtain admission to the
station, Used the banks of the railway above and below it,
every spot commanding a view of the line being denaely
crowded. A body of pensioners in uniform, and fully so
soared, under the command of Major Hawker, were
'Rationed on each side of the lies along which her Raj' sty
paved, and the Duke of Rutland's military band occupied one
of the wagons above alluded to. From one to two o'clock
several break showers of rain fell, but there was no disposi-
tion to move manifested by the spectators. At twenty
in‘nutee to them o'clock the royal party reached the station
and the steam have been previously turned off, the train,
moved slowly past, the bead playing the national anthem,
and the spectators evincing their loyalty by loud beam,
and waving of hats and handkerchiefs, gracefally acknow-
ledged by leer Majesty
Oa reaching Syston Station, flee miles north of Leicester,
the train stopped about five minutes to take in water. At
that place about 500 of the principal inhabitants of the neigh-
bourhood had assembled, and ranged themselves on either
side of the railway. The station, the lamp posts, &c.,
were decorated with 'commons and flowers, a
nprseestation of an imperial mown' decorated with
dahlias, was exhibited in front of the station;
a bins and white Sur, belonging to an Odd Follows' Lodge,
was hoisted frost the tap; a white flag, with the motto,
" God save the Quinn," Hotted is the treese from an ad-
joining building, and a gaily decorated • le-truck eon-
Wood the village band, which played the national anthem,
whilst the spectators joined in chorus or rent the air with
hams and other exclamations expressive of their loyalty.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK

Mom the Regleeasz-Oenaralls Report.)
T. health of the inhabitants of London 000tinaes
las good as It usually L. The deaths last week were 906.
with is mere by 31 than were registered in the precious
week, but lees than the average, alter excluding the Gomm-
peed's( week of 1849. In that week 2.468 persons died in
L intim, 240 of disinter and 1,272 of cholera. The deaths
from cholera last week were fire Irons diamak t 118; of
the latter number 106 were children ceder the age 01 15,
4 adults under 60, and 9 old perms past the age of 60.
The deaths by cholera is the five preceding weeks, including
the last, were 13, 11, 16, 8, and 6, so that the diaeue in the
form it has usually visited London in Asssist is d•cluileit.
The deaths from diarrhea I. the same weeks were 104, 136,
162 139, and 118.

ilthoigh the mortality of London is now below the
average, that average is itself high. And it appears scarcely
to be a natural state of things that, In ordinary tines, of 906
puma whose career terminates in the week, only 165 par
the see of GO; that three hundred and eighteen end their
coarse In the middle of life, and four hundred and thirty-
two die in their way through childhood to youth. Yet the
:shun gives this result.
One hundred and twenty-nine of the death' occurred is
public invitations, namely, 79 in workhouses, 4 in Wil-
-1 tary and naval asylums, 39 in hospitals, 4 is lunatic uylurns,
12 in military and naval hospitals, and lin prison. The
propordon of deaths In public insitutioas is leas than it hie
been: for from an earlier return it was shown that
about 1 in 10 of the inhabitants of London died in the
workhouses, 1 in 21 in the hoepitals, 1 in 661 in prisons, 1 in
102 in lunatic asylums; and that lin6or 6 of the people
eie in a public institution oleos' kind or ether.
By the Greenwich observations the barometer was low
last week ; the wind was v est or south-west ; rain fell on
Wednesday; on Saturday there was a thunderstorm; the
mean temperature of the ate was 67 deg. through the week,
or 3•6 deg. below the *versa'. The mean temperature of
the Thames was 6215 deg. The air was dry, the dew point
having been 48 deg.

The heat continues to be tremendous, the thermo-

Great impulse has been given to the pursuit of
smugglers in the provinom, to the great discontent of
the country people who begin to miss their cheap
supplies of cotton goods. The detachments of custom-
house officers charged with the suppression of contra-
bend trading are also of use in hunting out thieves.
Thus Madero, a wretch, the recital of whose cruelties

ROMAN STATES.

A letter from Rome, of the 20th, in the Comeau-
tionnel, states that several persons have been arrested
there for a supposed conspiracy to assassinate the
Pope, on Assumption-day, by throwing crystal balls
filled with explosive substances into his carriage
when on his way to church to pronounce the benedic-
tion. The discovery of the plot prevented all danger.
There was some agitation on the following Sunday,
as it was supposed that there had been a plot against
the Austrian ambassador, on the anniversary of tee
birth of the emperor. A stroog armed foie was
placed near hie place to protect it, and in the even-
ing some arrests were made. The same letter 'dates
that the Prince and Prince's of Gnaws had left
Rome, after a vain attempt to get inserted a reply to
the article in the Giornisk di Roma from the Austrian
embassy.
Austria recently recommended the papal govern-
ment to concede the consult% of finances, the consults
of state, the organisation of municipalities, the coun-
cil of ministers, and the council of state. These coun-
sel., backed by the Cardinals Testi and Macchi, have
been given in vain.

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.

We have news from Berlin of the 24th inst. It is
confirmed that Lord Palmerston has addressed des-
patches to the Prussian government on the subject of
Schleswig-Holstein. In these despatches Lord Pal-
merston calls upon Prussia, in the terms of its treaty
with Denmark, to intervene in Holstein.
The terms used by Lord Palmerston are stated to
be these: "That Prussia should without delay, use
all the means at its disposal to induce the present
government of Holstein to respect the engagement
which Prussia has cortracted for Holstein. as well as
for the ether members of the confederation."
In reply to this, Baron Schleinitz has said " that
the invocation of the treaty referred to is a matter of
surprise t, the Prussian cabinet. None more so than
the mediating power (England) knows better that
the simple peace was expressly ac opted in the sup-
posit'on that events were to take their free course,
and that the settlement of the differences between the
duchies and the king-duke was to be abandoned to
the parties then in presence—the eventualities of a
decision by force of arms being expressly taken into
account."

Another despatch has since been received at Berlin
from Lord Palmerston, inviting Prussia to sign tte
London protocol. An answer was in preparation, cm-
tainiug, of coarse, a refusal.

REFUSAL OF PRUSSIA TO RENEW THE

ARMISTICE.

BERLIN, Fes. 23.
Prussia has refused to renew the armistice with
Denmark for six months, on the ground that she can-
not countenatoe the coctinuance of a provisional go-
vernment inlthe duchy ot Schleswig, which is entirely
paralysed by the universal resistance ot the people,
whose acts are in direct opposition with the reason-
able wishes of the people, aid whose administration
cannot be defended by any principle of political or
moral right.
The armistice rune on of itself indellnitively ; but
denunciat'on on either side renews the war in six
weeks. The consequence of Prussia's declaration will
be the breaking up of the Administrative Commission
in the duel of Schleswig. Count Eulenbarg will
retire, and then, of course, Colonel [lodges and Count
will follow.
The Times alludes, in the number we have received
to-day, to the secret articles in the treaty of July 10 ;
but has forgotten to state the first and tncst important
of those secret articles is, that Prussia is not to be
called on tn enforce the conditions of the convention
as made public. On the other hand another secret
article stipulates that if Denmark shculd not be con-
tent with the states quo, she may insist on the with-
drawal of the Prussian troops.
The results of the refuel' of Prussia to renew the
armistice are likely to be the withdrawal of the Prus-
sian and Swedish troops ; the marching in of the
dchleswig troops from Holstein on one side, and
and perhaps of the Danish troops from Denmark on
the other. The highly exasperated mood of the
Schleswigers seems to render war probable—perhaps
inevitable. The Danes, however, seem, notwithstand-
ing their high-pitched demands, by no means so
anxious as last liar to renew the combat. Hence it
is belied that even when the ineffectual attempts at
mediation are withdrawn, chances will still remain of
au accommodation.

BERLIN, Flll. 23.
In the Second Chamber yesterday, the debate on
the budget was broug!it to a close. The estimated
receipts for 1850 amount to 91.338,448 rixdollars, the
ordinary expenses to 90,974,393 rixdollars, the extra-
ordinary to 4,925,313 rixdollats. In this shape the
budget was voted, and the house stood up to thank
the committee.

HAMBURG, FIB. 22.
A petition, worded in very expressive language,
has been sent by the inhabitants of Angelo to the
Statthalterschaft of Schleswig-Holstein, at Kiel, de-
claring that the present state of the country is no
longer bearable, and requesting that regency to as-
inine again the reins of government, and, if there
should be no other means to settle their dispute with
Denmark than war, to make their army draw the
sword again. They snide to the sacrifices made by
them to preserve their indept-ndence, and moreover
that their sons and brothers are ready to shed their
last drop of blood in the same sacred mums; they will
rather lay down their life, they say, than be tyran-
nised over as they are now. The petition is signed
by all the seventy-two leading men (eorstelser) of the
country, on behalf of their communes. The papers
likewise contain a protest of the clergy of Schleswig
against the arbitrary acts of the provisional adminis-
tration in dismissing several of their members, and of
the headmasters and other teachers of the schools, by
which a number of children are left without educa-
tion. They protest against the right of the adminis-
tration to meddle with these affairs, as belonging to
the church, and not to the temporal authorities.
