The India and China Mail steamer Tanjore has
taken out £36,124 in specie.
A letter has been published in defence of the
good faith of the Roumanian Government. In Eng-
land, which is so largely interested in the honour of
foreign countries, there mutt always be a dispo-
sition to receive statements showing the absence of
any ground of complaint, and it would therefore
be satisfactory to accept as conclusive iu the pre-
sent case the representations offered. But it is be-
lieved the individuals interested will be able to show
that their claims arc not so baseless as is alleged,
and even if this were not the case the justifica-
tion of Roumania in altogether repudiating them,
so far as it is based on the respective grounds that
the city of Bucharest and not Roumania itself is
liable, and that a State has a legal right to forfeit
caution money, would appear to most persons con-
versant with questions of international finance to
be rather specially than absolutely satisfactory.
At the same time, it is to be admitted th..t a sys-
torn on the part of speculators of obtaining conces-
sions which they have no certainty of being able to
carry out, in the trust that in the event of failure
they will be able to escape the stipulated penalty
by frightening the contracting Government with
threats of oamaging their public credit, has in many
cases been pursued, and is one that requires con.
demnation.

TERRIBLE MASSACRE 11V NETV ZEALAND

1) UNDEDIN, April 15.

'Telegrams have been received from Nspier,
stating that Ensign Lavin, wife, two children,
and Messrs. Wilkinson and Cooper, all of them
settlers at Mohaka, were massacred on Sunday last
by Te Kooti, with about 40 friendly natives, prin-
cipall women and children.

On the 14th part of the force from Napier
reached Mohaka, when 'Fe Kooti was fouled to
have retired with his plunder the day before,
having lost about ten of his party killed.

He burnt the settlers' homesteads, &c., before

retiring.

After leaving some cavalry and a part of the
force in the district, most of the militia returned to
Napier, which is now declared to be threatened.

The settlers' families between iklohaka and the
suburbs of Napier (a district of about 40 miles)
have taken refuge in that town.

The Duke of Edinburgh leaves here in the Gala-
tea for Nelson, Canterbury, and Otago on Satui day.

POLICE LiV TELLIG C'L'.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

APPREHENSION OF A COINER. -A young man named
Cane was placed at the bar charged with having counter-
feit coin in his possession.
Brannan, the police-officer engaged by the mint, said
that on Saturday last he went to the prisoner's lodgings,
in Smith's-court, and there he found 30 half-crowns,
30 florins, and 35 shillings, all counterfeit. Thu
base coins had all been " s!innin el," that is
rubbed with lamp black and tallow grease to
give them the appearance of having beau us,rd. The pri-
soner denied all knowledge of the coins, and sail he did
not live in the house in South-court, Drury-lane, in which
they then wore. The landlaly, however, said the pri-
soner ha l :,c,aipied lolgingings iu the house fur about six
months. When he was taken into custody he succeeded
in swallowing a number of counterfeit shillings, but be
could not•be prevented from do:ng so, as he had gut the
shillings i❑ his mouth before they could be taken from
him. Ile, however, denied swallowing the slalngs, and
said it was only tobacco. The counterfeit coin was all
car, fully wrapped up in hits of ue wspa per.
Inspector Brennan, of the If division, said ho was pre-
sent when the piisoner was taken. On being searched
a took from his coat pocket, among otherlthings a por-
Corr of a newspaper, and on comparing it it corre-
sponded with the paper the conterfeit coins wero wrapped
in, and on the two pieces being placed together it fitted
exactly.

Evidence having been given of the finding of a box con-
'taining the base coins in the prisoner's btdrooln,
Mr. Vaughan fully committed the pr:soner.
