Cannibalism in the Pacific.

PLYMOUTH, Aug. 16.

Advices received by the Norseman state that a
boat's crew, belonging to the French war steamer
Fulten, have been killed, cooked, and eaten by the
natives of New Caledonia. The officers and crew
of the Fulten, in retaliation, have taken summary
vengeance upon the savages, killing every one they
could catch in that neighbourhood, and setting fire
totheir villages. Over 150 were shot and bayoneted,
besides those burnt.

Dr. Colenso has prohibited clergymen from offi-
ciating in Maritzburg Cathedral who have not their

Fall of Two Houses and Loss of Life.

(This Day.)

This morning, shortly after seven o'clock, the inhabi-
tants of Ely-court, Holborn-hill, were thrown into the
utmost consternation by the falling in of the back of two
houses. At the time of the occurrence the houses contained
about 40 persons, and were old and dilapidated. As soon
as the dust had cleared away a most frightful scene pre-
sented itself, and the groans of those beneath the debris was
heartrending. Men were at once set to work, when four
persons were extricated and carried to St. Barth°lommeow:es
Hospital. One man was found quite dead, and many
remain under the ruins. The cause of tho catastrophe is
unknown.
