She was relieved by the Havannah, 22, Captain
Erskine, which ship she left at Auckland. The
Fly, 18, Commander Oliver, was at Port Nicholson,
all well. New Zealand was quiet. Master Selwyn,
son of the Bishop of New Zealand, has come home
a passenger to be educated in England. The Dido
has been remarkably healthy; not one person had
died on board from sickness since she was commis-
sioned. She is, we understand, in most excellent
order, and has been a most comfortable ship ; nearly
all the officers that sailed in her have returned in her.
We only do justice to a meritorious, zealous, and
hard-working officer, when we say her gallant first
lieutenant, Mr. T. C. 0. D. Whipple, has doubly
earned his promotion to the rank of Commander,
which we have no doubt he will receive on the ship
being paid off. He has been 22 years in the service
constantly employed. He joined the Galatea from
the Naval College in 1827, when commanded by Sir
Charles Napier, where he made and won his cele-
brated bet of rigging her in twenty-four hours. He
was all through the business of Syria and Acre with
Sir Charles Napier, in the Powerful. He then went
to India and China in the Agincourt, with Admiral
Sir T. Cochrane, who would have promoted him had
not Mr. Whipple's health obliged him to come home.
He then joined the Trafalgar, with Captain Martin,
who sent him as first of the Dido, and he would (had
he been in England when the Prince Regent was
commissioned) have been with Captain Martin as his
Senior Lieutenant. We sincerely hope this officer
may receive his well-earned promotion.
By this arrival we are put in possession of the
gratifying fact of the utmost tranquillity prevailing
in the settlement, without any prospect of disunion.
The natives were becoming more tractable every
day. As a proof of their desire to court friendly re-
lations with the white population, the Dido reports a
chief, by name E. Puni, having taken passage in that
ship from Wellington to Auckland, with 400 sove-
reigns in his possession (which he had amassed by
trading), with the object of buying a schooner, and
trading along the coast on his own account ! The
natives generally are much inclined to trade.
Colonel Wakefield, the principal company's agent
at Wellington, and founder of the settlement, died at
that place on Tuesday, the 19th of September, 1848,
and was buried on the 22d with the fullest military
honours the colony could provide. The Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Commandants of the troops,
and Captains of the squadron, followed the corpse to
the grave. A Mr. Fox, also an officer of high stand-
ing in the company's employ, had succeeded Colonel
Wakefield.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
The Ripon has experienced a succession of strong
westerly gales on the voyage home, both in the Medi-
terranean and crossing the bay. On the 17th inst. she
signalled the brigantine Ann, 100 miles E. of Gibraltar,
steering E., also the schooner Sarah, of Shoreham. On
the 19th, 50 miles S.E. of Cape St. Vincent, signalled
the schooner Index, steering N.W. with a fair wind.
Same day, off Cape St. Vincent, the barque Planter,
steering N.N.W., and on the 20th in latitude 40 deg. 40
min., longitude 9 deg. 50 min.,
the schooner Susan
Collins, twelve days from Alicante, bound to London;
on the morning of the 2 tst spoke the steamer Iberia, 45
miles N.E. of Cape Finisterre, all well ; and at six,
r.m. of the 22d, 60 miles S.W. of Ushant,
exchanged
blue lights with the Indus, bound outwards from South-
ampton to Alexandria with the Indian mail.
The steam-ship Pacha, Captain John Weeks, with the
Peninsular mails, left Gibraltar for Southampton two
days before the Ripon, to call at Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto,
and Vigo. She may be hourly expected.
The following ships were spoken by the steam-ship
Malta, on her outward voyage from Southampton to
Ceylon:—
October 22—Malta, 45 days out, the ship Jumna, of
Liverpool, 50 days out, bound to Calcutta, latitude, 34
deg. 12 min. S., longitude, 16 deg. 44 min. W.

Glasgow, 78 days out, bound to Bombay, lat. 36 deg. 42

IMPORTATION OF CORN.—The collectors and
comptrollers and other principal officers of the Customs'
department, at the several ports and places throughout
the kingdom, have received an intimation to the effect,
that as the present scale of duties on corn, meal, and
flour, whicn is governed by the average prices, will cease
and fixed rates become chargeable, on and after the Ist
of February proximo, it is directed by the commissioners
that the weekly corn returns, hitherto transmitted to the
inspector general of imports and exports, be from that
date made out in weekly periods, comprising the re-
ceipts, deliveries, &c., from the morning of Thursday to
the afternoon of the following Wednesday inclusively,
observing that in the weekly return for the period next
following the receipt of the certificate dated the 25th of
January, that portion only of the week is to be included
which shall have elapsed before the Ist of February.
Letters from Leipsic announce the close of the fair.
Business in cloths had been brisk at a rise of 1 to 1/1-
dollars. The Greek merchants were the principal pur-
chasers. failure is stated to have occurred, and none
of any consequence was expected.

ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE..--A young
woman, aged 29, the wife of a man named Sitvester
S 3 kes, tormerly a plumber at Sevenoaks, but for the last
two or three years a dealer in gold fish, has not been
heard of for some time, and her relatives, who live at
Hadlow, entertain the most serious apprehensions that
she has come to an untimely end. She was last seen in
August last, when she came to her mother's, the widow
Parker, at Hadlow, to take refuge from the ill-usage of
her husband, who followed her, and, after beating her,
took her away. Sykes then went into Yorkshire, and at
length wrote from WTantage, Berks, saying he knew
nothing of his wife, who, he supposed, had returned to
her mother. This, however, is not the case; her mother,
who is in the greatest distress respecting her, has seen
nothing of her.—Maidstone Journal.
The commercial letters received by the Europa
from the United States do not possess much interest. In
the eastern towns business with the interior was entirely
at a stand, but the most sanguine expectations were en-
tertained that an active business would take place imme-
diately after the opening of the internal navigation.
Brother Jonathan is looking forward with great confi-
dence to a steadily increasing consumption of American
agricultural products in this country, and the mercantile
class at the same time calculate that it will lead to an
increased demand for our manufactures. No idea seems
to be entertained that any attempt will be made in Con-
gress to alter the present tariff, and they have instructed
their correspondents on this side of the water that they
may rest perfectly satisfied on this point, at all events
for the present year. We understand that one of the
necessary consequences of this assurance is that a consi-
derable number of orders in the iron trade that were held
cJnditionally will now be forthwith executed.

The Dido has brought home a few valuable curio-
sities for naturalists, the chief of which is a small
black bird, about the size of the English blackbird,
called the Tui (the parson bird of Captain Cook),
believed to be the first of the species ever brought to
England alive. Many previous attempts have been
made to bring this bird to England, but all hitherto
have failed.

The conduct and movements of the notorious Heki,
the Pretorius of New Zealand, are graphically de-
tailed in the following article from the 'Southern
Cross (Auckland paper) of Oct. 28 :
" THE BAY OF ISLANDS.—The Nancy, from the Bay
cf Islands, on Monday evening, brings us letters from
several correspondents, all of which allude in pointed
terms to the bearing and conduct of the redoubtable
Heki, as indicative of his restlessness and determination
to set law and order again at defiance. It is the almost
unanimous opinion of those who have known this chief
for many years, that he never will be quiet for any
length of time together. Ambition is his ruling passion,
and being very little under the influence, if not wholly
destitute, of upright principles, he does not scruple to
seize on the most frivolous and unwarrantable pretexts
for supporting his exactions. Some of his old adherents
disapprove of his present behaviour, and declare that he
must have a good cause for assuming a hostile position
before they will yield their sanction and support, but the
majority stand in awe of him, and feel that their own
safety in a measure depends upon their union with .him,
as he has declared that he will regard the neutrals as his
foes, and in one instance has already wreaked his ven-
geance by stripping a neutral chief of all that he pos-
sessed. The history of his recent exploit, according to
the best account we have obtained, is as follows :---
"M. James Davis, son of the Rev. R. Davis, has been
for many years in quiet possession of the land pur-
chased for him of the native chiefs, and has lately had
in his employ some native lads acting in the capacity
of shepherds. Some of these, it seems, had kindled a
fire upon a portion of Mr. Davis's land, which Heki
chose to say was Tapu,' on account of sobie bodies
having been buried there. One, if not Wore, :of these
offending youths belong to Heki's tribe; but this was
not taken into the smallest consideration by him.
Instead of reprimanding or punishing them, ho brought
a tana' against Mr. Davis, and: demanded 151., and
a horse as payment for the offence. Mr. James Davis,
not at all inclined to submit to such an unreasonable
demand, addressed a letter to Haiti, commencing, we
believe, with some such question as this—' Heki, my
friend, what evil have I committed, that you act thus
towards me? Your present conduct is not that of a
great chief; it is more like that of a slave.' To the
astonishment of the natives, no less than of Mr. Davis,
Heki, with unparalleled effrontery, declared he should
consider this sentence as involving a curse (` kanga')
and that he should demand en extra 51. for its ex-
piation!
" Expostulations and remonstrances were employed
in order to bring Heki to reason, but in vain; and even
the Rev. Mr. Burrows, we are informed, was told that
he had better hold his tongue, if he did not want to lose
the saddle he wa3 then riding upon, Indeed, sole think

Gux ACCIDENT.—A serious and melancholy acci-
dent occurred at Stone Easton, Somerset, a few days
since. Two brothers of that place, of the name of Hill,
whitesmiths and bellhangers, took their gun, in the ab-
sence of their father, and went out to shoot some birds,
in search of which one of the brothers went through tha
hedge, and the other handed the gun through to him,
which he took by the muzzle; and in drawing it through
the hedge a bramble caught the trigger, and the con-
tents of the piece went through the young man's neck,
entering just below the ear, and nearly 'severing his
head Irom his body. His brother, cn going through to
him, found him a corpse, and the sight so overpowered
him that he fell at his feet senseless, in which state he
lay for some tin 3.?. On recovering his senses, ho made
the best of his way home, and communicated tl',e fatal
intelligence to his mother, whose feelings may 'oe better
imagined than described, and who is at this time, with
the brother, lying in a very dangerous strAte, no hopes
being enterteined of the recovery of either of them,—

SAMBRE AND MEUSE RAILWAY.—The opening of
this line has given rise to a trade in fuel, which is already
spread over the whole of the line. This is not only a
valuable resource to the inhabitants of the locality, but
a new proof of the benefits conferred by opening new
means of communication.
