ASSAULT AT THE ALHAMBRA PALACE.—George
Henry Ebers, waiter, No. 11, Weston-place, York-
road, King's-cross, was charged before Mr. Knox
with assaulting Thomas Palmer, constable, at the
Alhambra, and also with being drunk and disor-
derly ; and Henry E':ers, his father, a coffeehouse-
keeper; and Joseph Overton, a pointstnan, of
No. 11, Weston-place, were charged with being
drunk and attempting to rescue the first-named
defendant from the custody of the police.
Mr. Sayer appeared for the complainant, and
Mr. Ricketts for the defence.
Mr. John Reeves, superintendent of the Al-
hambra, said that about eight o'clock the previous
evening the three defendants presented themselves
for admission, and Weston and Henry Ebers
being drunk he refused to admit them, and an al-
tercation then took place, and there was a good
deal of chaffing. He took hold of the defendant
Henry Ebers to put him out, when George Ebers
came up to him and tripped him up, and then
struck Palmer, one of the constables, on the face
with a stick. He then called "Police," and gave
the defendant, George, into custody, Palmer's face
bleeding very much at the time.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said Reeves
took no part in the assault.

FRIGHTFUL MASSACRE IN NEW
ZEALAND.

JULY.

The following Appeared in our Latest Edition of yesteviny
twining:—

Kingsbury _ _ ___

AUGUST.

ADELAIDE, Dec. 8.

Advices from New Zealand state that the re-
bels had surprised the settlers in Poverty Bay,
where they had massacred several Euro-
pean families and committed horrible atrocities.
Men were burnt alive, children mutilated, and
the dead bodies of women thrown to the pigs.
Great mismangement is attributed to the
authorities. The colonial forces on the west coast
have retreated before the rebels, and a large tract
of territory had been abandoned.
The latest news was more encouragi❑g.
