After this quadrille had been danced, the boys
and girls educated in the asylum marched into the
room and formed in front of the dais, where the
Prince and Princess had an opportunity of admir-
ing their admirable appearance.
At the word of command from Sir Charles Forbes,
the boys gave a general salute, and the juvenile
band played the National Anthem, the company
rising from their seats.

After the children had retired, the officers of the
asylum and hospital were presented to the Princess,
who conversed very graciously with Sir Heron Max-
well and others.

A quadrille was then formed, in which the royal
visitors took part. The Princess of Wales gave her
hand to the Duke of Buccleucb, president of the
asylum. The Prince of Wales danced with the
Duchess of Wellington. Prince Alfred with the
Duchess of Buccleuch.

A valse followed, the Princess of Wales dancing
with Prince Louis of Hesse, and the Prince of Wales
with Lady Agneta Yorke.

At half-past 12 o'clock the royal visiters were
conducted to supper, which was served in the card-
room to a select party of sixteen guests.

The Prince and Princess of Wake retired shortly
after one o'clock.

The ball was a great success, all the arrangements
being perfect, and not the slightest hitch having
occurred.

The Cession of the lonian Islands,

CORFU, June 3.
The curtain has fallen upon the last act of the
British Protectorate—the fair lonia is wedded to
young Greece, and the guardian has given the
happy couple his parting benediction. Long ex-
pected as the event has been, its realization seemed
to take every one by surprise. The dismantling of
the batteries, the embarcation of stores, and the
demolition of the works have been going on steadily
for months past, and yet there were many who
continued to doubt that the cession was near at
hand, and not a few persisted in hoping against
hope that it might yet be averted. The arrival
of the Greek Commissioner Extraordinary came
upon all like the final verdict, and the inter-
change of signatures to the Protocol, which took
place on the 28th of May, was the death warrant
of British dominion in the lonian Islands. On
the day following the promulgation of the
Protocol, the Royal arms surmounting the Lord
High Commissioner's palace and the main gate of
the citadel were removed by a party of Royal Engi-
neers, and their fragments (they were of massive
stone carving) wore sold to eager competitors at
fancy prices. The removal•was effected at the in-
stance of the Greek Commissioner. It is to be
hoped that this sacrifice will propitiate Hellenic
patriotism, and that the winged lions of Venice
which ornament most of the old works in Corfu may
escape the spoiler's hand.

On the 2d of June Corfu put on its holiday dress
to bid farewell to its English protectors. There was
not a cloud in the bright blue sky, there was not a
ripple on the water—yet more bright and more
blue. A small fleet of troopships and transports
clustered around the majestic Marlborough ; near
them lay a clumsy looking paddlewheel steamer,
with 800 Greek troops, forming the future garrison
of Corfu, on baard. The harbour was dotted with
yachts and pleasure boats; the shores were lined
with a dense mass of people of all classes. At 11
o'clock the last remaining regiment in the citadel,
the 4th King's Own, marched out, and their
guard at the main gate was relieved by a Greek
guard of gendarmerie. They are not ill-looking
men, and are fairly dressed and set up. The troops
sent to garrison these islands are, however, said to
be picked men, and euperior in equipment and in
discipline to the rest of the army. Meanwhile the
approaches to the Palace of St. Michael and St.
George were choked by crowds of townspeople
and villagers from many a mile around, and there
was hardly standing room in the reception-hall, so
eager were the people to pay their parting respects
to the last of the Lords High Commissioners.
When Sir Henry Storks, in a few graceful words
in Italian, and in a voice which betrayed his emo-
tion, bade them farewell, at least three-fourths of his
audience were in tears, and many blubbered out-
right (for the lonian is much given to the melting
mood), as they crowded round his Excellency,
shaking him by the hand, embracing him, and con-
ferring upon him not unfrequently those salutations
which Englishmen generally reserve for the other
sex. Nothing could exceed the good temper with
which he bore these inflictions, and even when—
freed at length, as he fondly hoped, from these over-
whelming demonstrations of affection—as he was
descen ling the steps of the Palace, an elderly, fat
gentleman approached him from behind, and, thug-
ing his arms about his neck, gave him half a dozen
smacking kisses, there was not a shade of impatience
mingled with the expression of surprise at this un-
expected honour. As he passed to the place of em•
barkation every man in that dense crowd respect-
fully uncovered, and a running fire of " Zito's"
marked his progress—interspersed now and then
with a cordial " Good-bye and God bless you, Sir !"
in an English voice ; and when he entered his
barge and was rowed away under the last English
salute from the batteries, there arose a parting cheer
more loud and more hearty than I should have
believed lonian lungs capable of uttering.
At noon the Commander of the Forces, Sir
Robert Garrett, accompanied by his staff, mounted
to the flagstaff at the citadel, and as the British
red ensign was unfurled at the Marlborough's main,
our colours at Cape Sidero, Port Neuf, and Vido
were simultaneously lowered, and the blue-and-
white flag of Greece was hoisted in their place. A
very irregular salute was fired by the Greek Artil-
tillery from what but a minute befors had been our
saluting battery; the Marlborough replied in
splendid style, and the union was consummated.
It was very touching to behold Sir Robert Garrett,
in person the very beau ideal of an old English
general, reverently, almost tenderly, bearing away
the colours which had floated over the citadel
for half a century. It will probably have been
the last public act of a long life spent honour-
ably in the service of his country;and, as all un-
covered and bowed, as the old soldier passed along
he was greeted with many a hearty " God bless
you," and many an unspoken wish that he might
yet live long to enjoy in his retirement his well.
earned honours.

There is a signal from the Marlborough; she
moves; the strains of " God save the Queen" arise
from all the ships as they follow in her wake, bear-
ing away the last representatives of British rule in
;he lonian Islands. Until the last ship has be.

come dim in the distance, crowds still gather upon
the shore. "Sono buoni genti," said an old man, as
with tears in his eyes he waved his hat towards the.
departing Britons. "Adesso slam° liberi !" said- a
young man, as he lit a cigarette by way of inaugu-
rating the new order of things.

It was memory and hope brought face to face—

the grateful recollection of many a past blessing,
the vague ambition of some future greatness; the
death of the old regime by the cradle of the new.
Among those who witness the exodus may be seen
a white-haired man, who with erect gait, but totter-
ing step, mingles with the crowd. He is a half-pay
officer, above 80 years of age, and was present with
the army when Genoa was ceded to Sardinia, again
when bicily was ceded to Naples, and now once more
he has seen the marching out of an English army and
the hauling down of the English flag by English sol-
diers. He served under the first Lord High Com-
missioner, and he has made his parting bow to the
last. He feels himself too old to beltransplanted,
and returns to the home in Corfu which he has oc-
cupied for 50 years, a stranger in the land of the
stranger.
One of the old-established institutions of Corfu is
"Taylor's." Not to know and to be known by
Taylor is to argue yourself unknown. His shop
under the esplanade is the refuge for distressed
British subjects, whose wants he is ever ready to
supply, from selling them a pair of gloves to hiring
a house or buying a yacht, or negotiating a bill.
Taylor's name is in Corfu " familiar in men's mouth
as household words." He is part and parcel of the
British Protectorate, and dearly loves the English,
and especially the garrison, to whom he owes his
prosperity. He has made a large fortune, but has
❑ever been suspected of a shabby act. If he is high
in his prices, he is magnificent in his charities, and
many an imprudent young officer has owed his sal-
vation to Taylor's liberality. He cannot survive
the cession. As the English colours at the citadel
are lowered, Taylor's signboard comes down with a
run. His public life ends with the political death
of the last Lord High Commissioner.
The undisguised joy of the populace, now that the
English are fairly off, is not flattering, but, after all,
natural enough. Besides, it is not the wild exulta-
tion of the liberated slave, but rather the satisfaction
of the old soldier who, weary of service, has bought
his discharge and looks forward to make his own
living, Some old grudges, perhaps, rankle in his
mind; he cannot forget how the adjutant was hard
upon him once when he took a drop too much, or
how th 3 colonel would not allow him to marry when
he was most in love, and he revenges himself by
swaggering past them in plain clothes with a free-
and-easy salute. Nevertheless, he treasures the old
uniform, and in days to come will point, not with-
out a feeling of pride, to the facings which he wore.
Perhaps, too, when he is struggling hard to make
a living for himself, he will look back with regret
to the good old days whrn all his wants were pro-
vided for, and be had not a care or a thought for
the future.

Upon the whole the people are very orderly, and
the few remaining English are treated with marked
courtesy and respect. Every impartial witness will
admit that our policy has been disinterested and
honest, that our influence has been beneficial upon
the character of the people, and that our rule has
been marked with justice and moderation. Any
animosities which may now exist will pass away,
and in days to come, be their fate evil or prosperous,
the Seven Islands will remember their English pro-
tectors as we shall surely remember those beautiful
islands with a deep and affectionate regret.

JUNE 6,

The King of the Hellenes arrived here this morn-
ing, escorted byherMajesty's ship Revenge, carrying
the flag of Rear Admiral Yelverton, and the French
and Russian ships of war Magicienne and Oleg. In
order to render his entry into Corfu as imposing as
possible a temporary wharf had been erected in the
Bay of Castrades, whence, preceded by his Capo
Stalliere—as gorgeous as Widdicombe himself,
and whom the populace occasionally mistook
and saluted for the King—and two outriders,
he drove slowly into the town, enthusiastically
cheered, and, as he passed through the streets,
literally pelted with bouquets from the windows
which beauty, fashion, and loyalty occupied:

His Majesty proceeded directly to the Church of
St. Spirodine, where he made his obeisance to the
well.preserved saint, and received the benedictory
welcome of the Greek Archbishop; thence he made
his way to the palace, apparently much pleased with
his reception, as he kept on bowing from right to
left with a happy smile upon his open boyish face.
His councillor, Count Sponeck, sat by his side serious
and thoughtful,speculating, perhaps, on the average
duration of Hellenic enthusiasm.

In the afternoon the young King put on a paletot
and a white hat, and, taking his seat on the box of
his pbmton, drove at a rattling pace along the
favourite road, the One Gun Battery, astonishing
the country people, who found it a difficult matter
to dissociate majesty from fine clothes. To make
up for this, however, King George appeared at the
illuminations in the evening dressed in the uniform
of the National Gaard, and bestriding a prancing
charger.

The King purposes making a stay of eight days
in Corfu, and on his homeward way will pay pass-
ing visits to the principal southern islands.
It will be then, when the novelty and excitement
of her new existence will have worn off, when lonia
in the cold gray morning light contemplates the re-
mains of the wedding feast and calculates its cost,
that an interval of painful thoughts and sad fore-
bodings must intrude. Already the mass of the
people feel the loss of a good and liberal customer ;
the shops are empty, the market place is deserted,
the houses are tenantless; the Greek soldier affects
airs of superiority over the provincial, and looks
upon the Seven Islands as on the summer residence
of the Hellenic King, or at best as an Athenian
suburb. The conscription lists are unrolled; the
tax-collector is girding up his loins.

A year's Parliamentary Reading:

Titles and tables of contents have just been issued fur
binding the "Sessional Papers" of the House of Lords for
1863. The papers are to form 60 volumes, most of them of
folio size ; and the two volumes filled by the Minutes of Pro-
ceedingsvolume devoted to indexes,
in 3 vwoiltuh a
mes. Sixty-three volumes added
brgthe
win titheole up house,te6
yearly in one department of a library make large demands
upon space. Yet, speaking of the Commons' papers, which
are substantially the same as the Lords', the late Mr Hume
said publicly, and not a little proudly, in one of the latest
years of his life, " I have them from the beginning—not a
volume missing." But they seem destined to outgrow
every private library. 24 of the volumes for 1863 are
filled with reports from commissions ; several of these are
the year's reports from these special commissions, of which
some are always sitting, for the investigation of particular
subjects, the report on Transportation, the report on the
Employment of Children on Trades, and S 3 forth; but the
staple of this division of the Parliamentary papers consists
of the yearly reports from permanent boards—the Poor Law
Board, the Ecclesiastical Commission, the Directors of Con.
vict Prisons, and the like, the practice of annually reporting
progress having by a modern usage extended also to the
Post-office, the Inland Revenue Board, the Customs, and
indeed almost every department of the State. Nine more
of the volumes of 1863 are filled with census reports, seven
of them with the Irish census. Five volumes occupiedare
two
by reports of Parliamentary select committees of the
n
houses, for each house contains a copy of the
com-
mittee reports. Five volumes are up ia and
u
the year, colonial affairs, seven with State correspondence and foreforeignaffairs, one with the slave trade papers of four with
the public bills of the session. The contents of the remain-
ing volumes are cf a more miscellaneous description.
Though it has just been stated that the two collections of
these our national records, the Lords' papers and the Com-
mons' papers are substantially the same, the more strict

The War in New Zealancl.NS
• 40 - 1411
(Rol, the Melbourne Argus of the 25th April
The Maori war is still being actively prosecuted. This
month two severe engagements have taken place, in one of
which the enemy met with a severe though not a complete
defeat, while in the other we experienced the first notice-
able reverse of the campaign.
The most important of the operations have occurred in
the Waikato district, where the bulk of the English forces
are assembled, and where General Cameron is in personal
command. After the seizure of the important settlement
entitled Rangiaohia by the English, and consequent slam-
danment by the Maories of the positions they had taken up
for its defence, General Cameron left camp for Auckland,
where, after long co/Imitations with the colonial authorities,
it was resolved not to advance the troops further /south, but
to proceed across the country and complete the cordon
across the Waikato delta. One of the principal reasons
for this course was that the east coast tribes and the Upper
\Vaikatos, with the Maori Ring Matuatera and the leading
rebel chieftain, William Thompson, were in position at
Maungatautari, on the eastern side of the delta, and it was
hoped to entrap and mush these tribes—the owners of the
land we had seized upon. It was known at this time that
the Ngatimaniapotos—taken singly, the strongest of the
hostile tribes—were erecting pahs in our front, but General
Cameron decided not to interfere with them. Their nearest
position was at Orakan, where they constructed works block-
ing up the main Maori track running to tho southern dis-
tricts. On March 22 General Cameron left Rangiaohia with
the following forces :-620 of the 50th Regiment, 529 of the
70th, 190 marines and sailors, 25 Defence Corps, 80 of the
65th, 50 of the Royal Artill ry, and Capt. Jackson's com-
pany of Forest Rangers. These troops were joined on the
march by detachments of the 18th and 70th Regiments,
and with them the force numbered 2,000 men. General
Cameron encamped at a place on the River Horatiu, called
Pukerimu, seven miles from the lofty volcanic mass to which
is given the name of Maungatutari. The enemy was found
to be skilfully and strongly posted here, and preparations
were at once commenced for an attack, artillery and sapping
materials being forwarded as rapidly as possible from Ngar-
uawahia. General Cameron was, however, diverted from
his plans by serious intelligence from the place he had left,
The troops remaining at Rangiaohia and its neighbourbood
consisted of the 40th Regiment, and detachments of tte 18th
65th, 2d Waikato Militia, and Captain Von Tempsky's
company of Forest Rangers. This force was under th
command of Colonel Carey, of the 18th, serving as briga•
dierageneral. On the 30th March Colonel Carey recon-
noitered the Orakau position before alluded to, and on the
31st he marched all his available troops to the place. Ile de-
cided to storm the position, a strongly fortified earthwork,
protected by a pa!isading and ditch. The attempt was made,
but no scaling ladders having been provided, our men were
twice repulsed, afterhaving gone close up to the works under
a destructive fire. The 18th and 40th suffered most, and
out of 14 of the former, who led the storming party, only
seven returned alive. Some vainly attempted to climb tlee
parapet, but the gallant fellows were either short or had to
desist, seeing how hopeless the attempt was. As the work
was too strong to be taken by storm, the wounded, dead, and
dying were removed, the guns were put into position, and
they commenced shelling the pah. Orderlies were de-
spatched to General Cameron for reinforcements, and Col..
Carey commenced a sap up to the pah. Th© assault having
been commenced, it was necessary for the prestige of the,
British arms that assistance should be afforded. General
Cameron, therefore, had to give up his own plans, to return
back from Maungatautari, leaving his real enemies to aban-
don or strengthen their position as they pleased, while he
retrieved the disaster his subordinates had met with at an
outpost. The Ngatimaniapotos at Orakau, we are told, were,
only 3,000 strong, and they were completely surrounded.
Yet, with the devoted bravery which
.this gallant and
chivalrous tribe has displayed throughout the struggle, these
men refused all terms of surrender, though when General.
Cameron arrived with the reinforcements they were out-
numbered five to one.

While the sap was proceeding, the guns were playing
upon the works with grape. The sap was run up to the
end of the palisading, hand• grenades were thrown in, which
must have done great execution, and one of the flanking
angles of the redoubt was blown up. On the afternoon of
Saturday, the 2d of April, the rebels, seeing no chance for
them except by escape, made a lush en masse from the
south side of their works, and, dashing through the
lines of the 40th—who, it would appear, were taken by
surprise, and made no effective resistance—made their
way through the swamp, flying for their lives. The works
being deserted our men rushed into them, and then fol-
lowed in hot pursuit; The rebels had got the start, but
were fired on as they fled, with great execution, for 101
bodies were found, besides 18 or 20 reported by native pri-
soners to have been buried in the pah ; 33 were taken pri-
soners, 26 of them being wounded. It is reported that
Rewi, the leadingNgatimaniapoto chief, is among the killed,
but the statement requires corroboration.

The fact of the Maories having burst through the lyres
of the 40th has caused some surprise. Had this not
been allowed, every man in the pah must have been killed
or taken, and the victory would have been complete. The
conduct of Colonel Leslie, the commanding officer of the
40th, has been severely criticised by the Auckland press.
As yet, however, only hurried details of the affair have
been received, and until a full and correct statement of
the particulars comes to hand censure should be with-.
held. Under any circumstances, the action was a mis-
take, for the Waikato tribes, dispirited by its result,
abandoned Maungatautari, where it was hoped they would
be crushed, and fell back into the interior. General Ca-
meron's means of transport will not allow him to pursue
them this season, and hence another Waikato campaign.
appears inevitable.

In this action Captain Ring, 18th Regiment, was killed;
Captain Hereford, Militia, mortally wounded ; Captaiu
Fisher, 40th, severely wounded; and Lieutenant Chevalier
and Ensign Cbater, 65th, w,,unded. The total loss was 16
killed and 52 wounded.

The defeat we have alluded to occurred at Taranaki.
Captain Lloyd, of th 3 57th Regiment, and 100 men, 50 of
them being Victorians, under Captains Page and Jackson,
and the remainder men of the 57th, while reconnoitring,
were attacked by a body of Maories, concealed in rifle pits.
The troops made a short stand, and then fled, Capt. Llcyd,
while endeavouring to rally them, received seven shots ;
six men were killed and 14 wounded. Next day the bodies
of the dead were found with their heads cut off and carried
away. The killed are Captain Lloyd, Privates Dooley an&
Saddler, of the 56th Regiment ; and H. Banks, J. Neagles,
and H. Hartley, of the Victorian Volunteers, Mrs, Lloyd
became insane on hearing the news.

The rebels have shown in force at Tauranga, on the east
ceast, the first time they have ventured to put in an ap—
pearance in this direction. IVe have a strong force at Tan-
range, under Lieut.-Col. Greer, of the 68th.
The hopes of a peace being concluded during the winter
months now depend upon the rebels being pressed for food.
If they have cultivations of any extent to fall back upon, it
is hard to say to what length the struggle may not be pro—
tracted.

MARINE INVESTIVI ENT COMPANY.—Yesterday art
extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held at the London Tavern, under the presi-
dency of Mr ii. A. Coffey, to consider the propriety of issu-.
izg 10,000 additional shares under certain conditions, and
of declaring an ad interim dividend out of the profits of the
past half year, in anticipation of the dividend to be declared
at the first ordinary meeting of the company. The follow-
ing is the substance of the report :—With a view to having
the shares quoted on the Stock Exchange the directors and
their friends subscribed for the residue shares required to
be issued in order to secure this object, and in March last
the number of shares issued was 7,000. This step on their
part gave confidence to the public, and the consequence was
that the board was able to distribute rateably and at a pre-
mium of lOs per share, among the existing shareholders,
the 3,000 shares remaining of the first issue, and thus
£1,500 was secured as the nucleus of a reserve fund. As
the prospectus proposed that £l2 10s, or 50 per cent., should
be paid on the first issue before the second issue should
take place, it was now thought advisable only to call up £G
5s per share, or 25 per cent., and to authorise a second issue
of 10,000 additional. When the amount came to be called
up the profits for the past half year were ample to justify
the directors in declaring a dividend of 5 per cent. for the
half year, The chairman, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that the directors had every reason to be satis-
fiede expectedwitli tle progress which the company was making, and
when the accounts were made up for the annual
would show even a larger dividend than they
about to declare. The motion having been
c i
h
was unanimously approved. Authority was taken
tsmwoeeeir;:ntuidneengdfe ey
as 10,000 new shares, provided £6 5s per share was
paid on the first, issue ; and an ad interim dividend was de-
clared at the rate of 10 per cent., when the proceedings
terminated.
