Fatal Accident at Mont Blanc,

A writer in a contemporary says :--A fatal acci-
dent occurred on Mont Blanc last Tuesday, the first
since Dr. Hamet's accident in 1820, Two Austrian
gentlemen had made a successful ascent of the
mountain, and were descending to the grand plateau.
A young porter, Ambroise Couttel, was some dis-
tauce in front, not attached to the rope. He took
a direction too near the edge of the plateau, and
just as the guide of the party shouted to warn him
of his danger he was engulphed in a crevasse, before
the eyes of the others. The crevasee was 90ft. of
sheer depth, and the rope was not long enough to
reach the bottom. I was descending from the cor-
ridor, and offered my rope. Another party arrived
soon afterwards, and lent theirs. The guides ap-
proached the edge of the crevasse and leant over.
They saw the traces of the man's fall, and called,
but received no answer. The cold on the plateau
was intense, and the guides feeling convinced that
the man was dead continued their route.

The same evening a party of guides left Chamouni
to recover the body. Two, whose•names should be
mentioned, Michael Payot and Simon Pierre Benoit,
descended 09ft. to the turn of the crevasse, but
could go no further from the badness of the air.
They lowered a bottle 100 ft. more, which came up
covered with hair. There is now no hope of re-
covering the body.

The head guide of the party appears much to
blame for not having enforced the use of the rope
on all the members of the party. Porters are very
apt to ran on in front in an independent manner,
and it would be well if the head guide were held
responsible for the observance of every precaution ;
and that on the occurrence of an accident he should
beheld personally answerable for the adoption of
every means to effect a rescue. What was done
the day following, when all hope of saving life was
4one, ought to hare been done the day before by
the guides on the spot, as they could not ba sure
that it would not have been attended with success.

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND,

(From the Melbourne Argu3 of June 25.)
The last mail for England left the New Zealand
war in this position ;—The Gate Pah at Tauranga
to which the Maories had fled from ',)rakau, had
'l.'ermers repulsed with
been stormed, and the s
the loss of Captain Fey, of the Harrier, Captain
Hamilton, of the Esk, and other officers and men
who could 111 be spared. The repulse proved in
the end, to be a desperate attempt at retreat through
the breach to Waiora, where the rebels had a pah
the position of which was deemed impregnable. The
following news reached us during the past month ;
—On the 6th of May General Cameron and Com-
modore Sir William Wiseman, with the Naval
Brigade, the 68th Regiment, and the Colonial De-
fence Corps, left the camp to attack the Wairoa
Pah. Oa reaching it they found the village and
pah deserted, and the troops then destroyed both
and returned to camp. A reconnaissance failed to
discover where the enemy had gone, and it was
doubtful whether they had retired to the Retoma
Ranges or Tepuha, 14 miles away, the pah there
being reputed the str,,,ngest in New Zealand. The
same meil inf-ermed us that Governor Grey was
visiting
tk-e east coast, and that Commander Phil-
limorre, of the Curagoa, had been appointed com-
mander of the Esk. News up to the 16th still left
the position of the Maories unknown, The Governor
was at Tauranga, and a military telegraph from
Ngaruawahia to Tauranga was projected, Advices
from Taranaki stated that the outlying settlers had
been compelled by the Maories to abandon their
stations and cattle and take refuge in the town.
The latter were erecting a pah at Tupurapura, where
they awaited reinforcements ftom Waikato before
attacking the town by land and water. The town
was consequently greatly excited, and the inhabi-
tants under arms night and day. It was also asserted
that poor Captain
,Lloyd's head was still displayed
to influence the wavering and friendly tribes to
join the rebels. The very day after this news was
published, further intelligence was received from
which we learnt that the Governor and Commodore
Wiseman had returned to Auckland. Gen. Cameron
had returned from his reconnaissance, after dis-
covering the Maories at Tepuha busily fortifying
their position. Consequently the troops hourly
expected orders to march thither, when the General
suddenly left for Auckland, ordering the 43d Regi-
ment and the Artillery to follow. The supposed
cause of this movement was an outbreak at Wan-
ganui. The 68th Regiment was left at Tauranga
for the winter. The Waikato districts were reported
quiet, and one Waikato regiment was about obtain-
ing land allotments near Tauranga. In reply to a
Maori deputation anxious to know what terms of
peace would be accepted, the General briefly replied,
" Submisssion to the Queen's authority." Our
latest information of the progress of the war was
received only a few days since, and more than a
fortnight after the date of previous advices. No
fresh military movements had taken place, but the
Maories were hourly expected to attack Wata
Wata. The garrison, however, were deemed
strong enough for successful resistance. A fresh
reconnoitring party had started from Tauranga
to discover the Maori position. The Government
had bought the entire of William Naylor's tribe's
claim to the country between the Waipa and
Horatui. Finally, it was asserted, by one in
a position favourable to good judgment, that the
efforts of the Ministry to prosecute the war
with vigour had been opposed and thwarted ny
Governor Grey. Things, he added, were drawing
to a head, and the governor would have to give way,
or the Ministry would resign.

An episode of the war cannot be omitted from our
narration. It happened in this wise. The Auckland
New Zealander had, in an article published on the
Ist of June, referring to the death of Capt. Hamil-
ton, of the Esk, stated :
"It is feared that this brave officer was cruelly
deserted by his men, who were seized with a panic
and:fled back to our position, after being gallantly
led as the forlorn hope to the attack. It is true it
was a critical moment, but if the men had displayed
half the courage and daring of their officers a very
different result would have to be chronicled respect■
ing this unfortunate encounter.
This offended the seamen of the Esk, who, in
numbers 61 strong, came down to the cffice, and
commenced proceedings which portended pulling
the building—a wooden one—down. One of these
men cried out, " We have the authority of our officers
for what we are doing." Magistrates interfered to
prevent violence, the police were called, and Com-
modore Sir William Wiseman appealed to, but in
vain. The police were unable to cope with the
rioters, and the Commodore corroborated the asser-
tion that the cfficers connived at the riot by not in-
terfering. Temporizing was resorted to, and on the
promise that an extraordinary edition should issue,
retracting the previous statement, the seamen re-
tired. The extraordinary edition came out with a
ridiculous denial of the charge against the Naval
Brigade, and attributing the panic which caused
the sudden retreat to a mistake of the 68th Regi-
ment. This, it was also mentioned, was the substance
of the statement made by the rioting seamen, and it
was signed " John P. Beckett, Quartermaster."

We take the following from the Sydney Morning
Herald of the 21st of June :

"On the 4th inst. we received Nelson papers to
the 24th ult., including Wanganni papers to the
15th ult. Last Friday a skirmish took place at
Ranana, between the friendly and rebel natives.
Eighty of the latter were killed, the loss on the
friendly side being 12 killed and a number wounded.
It appears from the accounts now given that the
rebels fired thrice before their fire was returned ;
that besides the 60 killed on land, 20 were shot in
the water, and that the natives are hunting down
those who escaped. There were 118 rebels and 400
Government natives engaged. _ _

" By the Prince Alfred, which arrived at mid-
night on the Bth inst., we have news from Auckland
to the Ist inst. All hostilities are suspended for the
present, the troops having gone into winter quar-
ters. There have been no further hostilities at.
Wanganui, nor are any immediately threatening;
and it would appear that the prompt measures that
were taken at the first outburst, and the decisive
defeat the rebels received at the hands of the friendly
natives, have had a most wholesome effect."

" LORD DIINDREARY" AND " BROTHER SAM" IN
THE LAKE DISTRICT.—Mr. E. A. Sothern (Lord
Dundreary) and Mr Alexander Henderson, lessee of the
Prince of Wales Theatre, Liverpool, who are at present
rusticating in the Lake District, were (says our Liverpool
correspondent) the heroes of a most amusing adventure, at
Keswick, on Thursday evening last. Mr Henderson, in a
letter received in Liverpool on Saturday, says—" Quite a
sensation scene occurred het e (Keswick) last night. Sotbern
and I went to see the performances at a small theatre here,
and, on entering, I fancy the ' treasury' must have been
about 4s 61, and, throwing down •our 2s each, the woman
taking the money seemed slightly staggered, so much so
that she evidently made inquiry who the reckless indivi-
duals were. Au old fellow, who had been boring us about
boats, who had ascertained our names at the hotel, and who
had sponged on us for a pit ticket, soon let the cat out of
the bag. The news of Lord Dundreary being in the theatre
spread like wildfire over the town, and in an increditly short
space of time the previously empty house was
jammed.
The performance was ignored, every one turning round
and staring like mad, and saying, Oh, that's him with the
moustaches'— No, it's him with the rummy hat'—' Oh,
you fool, everybody knows he wears big whiskers,' Sce.
This was, as you may suppose, very funny at first, but it
soon became rather annoying, and we rose to leave, when
some fellow at the back sang out, Three cheers for Lord
Dundreary and Brother Sam.' This of course was taken up
by the whole house. A scene ensued, the curtain dropped,
and after a continuous uproar some one stepped on the stage
and said he had been requested 'to ask Mr Sotbern if he
would oblige, Sco., by reading his celebrated letter from
Brother Sam.' Sothern tried by every means to evade this.
Eventually he made a speech from his seat, but it was no
thego
At last, joining in the fun, he jut on the stage and read
letter. He then ran behind the curtain and out at the stage
door, leaving poor me to do the best I could; and for an
61-P3's gone out by the
extra 'sell' I got-up and shouted
back door,' and like madmen everybody rushed out of the
theatre, leaving it in a few minutes quite empty. About an
hour afterwards the band came to our hotel to serenade us,
when we invited them in and made them jolly. The tandem
is now at the door, and the ,otreet full of people waiting to
see us start." GRAY'S
ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL,
The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the

MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is no important feature to report to-day in
connection with monetary affairs. The floating
balances show a slight augmentation, but discoun-
ters as a rule do not appear desirous to extend
transactions unless they cover them by a wide
margin. 7g per cent. is still the minimum quota•
lion for the negotiation of the best short dated
and the demand for accommodation continues
rather active.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week are, in most instances, of a favour-
able character. At Manchester, table-cloths and
3.srna, however, have met a slow sale without any
change as regards prices. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield, has been rather quiet;
prices, however, are decidedly firm. In the hosiery
and lam departments of Leicester and Nottingham
there has been little change of importance; while
cutlery at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp.
ton has been rather less active in most departments.
The subjoined notices have been posted in the
Stock Exchange:—" Venezuelan Debt.—Messrs.
Baring Brothers and Co., agents in Venezuela, under
date the 25th July, report having collected for 55
per cent. of the import duties for about two weeks,
from the Customhouse of Puerto Cabello, 2,91 S dole.

Making a total of 26,009 dole. 87, on account of the

PROGRESS OF REVIEWING IN AMERICAS—With
the copies sent to newspapers or other periodicals
is sent also a printed slip, containing a laudatory notice of
the work, prepared exclusively for the purpose of forestall-
ing an independent judgment, and of substituting for it an
`4:Tinian calculated to secure the publisher's profit. This
elaborate application of the art of puffing is disgraceful alike
to its authors and to such editors as make use of the copy
thus supplied to them. And that the number of these is
large is obvious from the fact that one of those publishers'
Puffs may often be found reproduced, with very slight
alterations in its form, in many journals, under the guise of
an original criticism. Thus the public is misled not only
to the merits of a Look, but as to the real opinion of those
'who profess to pass judgment upon them.-117orth American•'
