DEATH OF COLONEL SEXIOR.

The Evening Post of last night says :
" We have received with regret intelligence of the very
sudden death, on Saturday morning last, of Colonel Senior,
brother of Mr. Commissioner Senior, of the Iriab Poor Law
Board, and of Mr. Nassau Senior, one of the English Mas-
ters in Chancery. The deceased gentleman had been on s
visit to his brother at Ashdown-house, county of Down."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

The month past, though not distinguished by any specu-
lative movements, or by any extraordinary fluctuations, has
upon the whole been one of more than average activity.
Complaints of dullness are not altogether silenced; but
there is a far more general feeling of satisfaction and hope,
and the belief that better days are approaching is becom-
ing daily more prevalent. Among other causes that have
contributed to this effect may be specified the intelligence
of declining shipments, as brought by the last mail.

THE NEW ZEALAND WAR.

At last the British arms in New Zealand have
been victorious ! A bloody skirmish was fought
with the natives on the sth inst., at Mahoetahi, in
which a victory was obtained over ,the Waikatos,
who have recently joined the rebels.
The following particulars are from the Taranaki
.Herald of.the 10th inst.:—

The most brilliant and desperately contested
action ever yet recorded in the annals of New Zea-
land, was fought on the 6th November, at Mahoetahi.
On one side were arrayed the Waikatos, resolved
to win the day, and deluded with the notion (since
expressed by one of the prisoners) that they had
only to fire a few rounds to accomplish this ; and
on the other side our own forces were arrayed,
equally resolved to conquer, and allay the pre-
sumption of the enetuy.
The main body of the Waikatos lay in a raupo
swamp well concealed from observation, and another
body occupied an ent:enchment on the crest of
Mohoetahi Hill, in which were some entrenched
whares. The 65th detachment, which had formed
the advanced guard during the march from town,
now formed a line of skirmishers, under Lieuts.
Bailie and Toker, at the base of the hill, and ex-
tended towards their right. This body was com-
manded by Captain Turner. The Rifle Volunteers
continued this extension towards the left, under
the direction of Major Herbert ; and the 40th Regi-
ment, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Leslie, Were
massed in columns, forming the reserve ; while the
detachment 12th Regiment, under Major Hutchins,
which had formed the rear-guard during the march,
now remained in charge of the baggage, and spare
ammunition, &c. The detachment Royal Artillery,
was commanded by Major-Gen.
under Captain Str ever and Lieut. M'Naughten,
rendered, as usual, ioportant service.

The Waikatos commenced the action by firing the
afnorde
first shots from an old entrenebed position in the
crest of Mahoetahi hill. This was quickly returned
by the skirmishers, and after a short fire the 65th
arid Volunteers rushed up the hill and stormed
that position; in performing this service they were
exposed to heavy flanking fires, but it was not until
they had entered the entrenchments that they ex-
perienced any loss. Within that confined space a
heavy fire from the entrenched whares laid low the

Paris establishment and 22 millions in the provinces.
Advances on gold and ingots show an augmentation
of 15 millions. Advances on French rente and rail-
way securities have scarcely varied. On the side
of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have in-
creased 271 millions. The account-current of the
Treasury has declined 52 millions. Other accounts-
current have increased 17 millions in Paris and f,-,
of a million in the departments. The whole
amount of the metallic reserve is at present 3492
millions to 785 millions of notes in circulation.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The special correspondent of the Nelson Elea-
miner, writing from Taranaki on the Bth instant,

says :

I am truly glnd to have good news this time ;
the Waikatos, estimated at 400, under Wetini-tai-
porutu, a principal chief of the powerful Ngatihaua
tribe from the Thames, having been routed with
great loss on the morning of the 6th instant. The
previous reports brought in by Matiu of the
arrival of Waikatos at the Waitara were gross
exaggerations, got up by himself and the natives
to outwit us, and they succeeded. The object was
to draw the General's attention from the south, as
be was at the head of a powerful force, and had
already made himself master of tie pah at Kaihihi,
and, as the natives rightly judged, intended to
follow up his advantage. The rebel and spy,
Matiu (who finds favour with the Native Depart-
ment), suddenly came in from Mataitawa, and
having his story artfully arranged as to names of
tribes represented, and of chiefs heading them, was
not disbelieved, and the General very properly
returned to town. This time he received his
reports from reliable source.
It appears that on the day previous (sth), a
party of soldiers from Puketakauere, which -
is now
garrisoned by a force of 50 men, whilst engaged in
bridging over a swamp near the Waiongona, were
attacked by natives under the Waikato chief Rewi,
when one man of the 65th Regiment 'was wounded.
The natives, besides wounded, had five or six
killed. Major Nelson and Capt. Seymour, R.N.,
Communicated with the General by the Tasmanian
Maid, and also the important information that a
body of Waikatos had taken possession that day
of Mahoetahi pah (which formed Col. Gold's halt-
ing-place when the attack on Puketakaure was
made). A combined attack was concerted for the
following morning, and about four a.m. of the
6th, 700 men, including 120 militia and volun-
teers,with guns and rockets, left town, and on taking
11P their ground, made the attack at once. After
some shells and rockets had been fired at the pah,
the order for assault WAS given, this honour falling

RESIGNATION OF MR. BARON GREENE.

The Dublin Evening Mail, referring to Baron
Greene, says :—" This eminent judge has placed the
resignation of his seat in the Court of Exchequer
in the hands of the Government. Various rumours
are afloat respecting consequent promotions and
changes, but we are enabled to state that nothing
whatever has as yet been arranged." The cause of
the right hon. gentleman's resignation is, I believe,
long-continued ill-health, which it is hoped that
freedom from judicial restraint and anxiety may
tend to improve.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS AND THE NATIONAL
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

We have the best authority for stating that the
Roman Catholic Bishops are about to issue a mani-
festo prohibiting clerical patrons of Roman Catho-
lic schools from sending their teachers to any of
the model or training schools in connection with
the National Board, and also declaring that Roman
Catholic patrons will not employ in any literary
capacity pupils, monitors, pupil teachers, or
teachers who may enter any of those institutions
after the date of such prohibition. Some of the
Roman Catholic prelates kayo, in fact, already
promulgated this, edict 'within their respective

Woman's Trials.—Nothing so systematically weakens the
human constitution as the suspension of any function.
Mothers should pay particular attention to the health of
their daughters at that time, when neglect will inevitably
produce constitutional debility. The commencement of
this derangement is usually discovered by the development
of certain nervous symptoms, which will gradually pass
away if Holloway's ointment be well rubbed twice a day
upon the back and abdomen, whilst his pills are taken n
appropriate doses. This treatment safely corrects ex
faulty function. The most obstinate cases cannot long re-

The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Capt. Judkins,
from New York on the 2d inst., arrived here at
6.15 a.m., landed all mails except those for Liver-
pool, and proceeded at 6.30 a.m. ; all well. The
Persia brings 37 passengers. She was off the port
at 4 a.m., but could not communicate owing to the
foggy weather.

The Australasian had arrived out. The seeessioa
movement showed no important development.
It was said that the seizure of public property at
Charleston met with little sympathy from the
Southern members of Congress.
The President was engaged on his special mes-
sage respecting the action of South Carolina.

The Committee on the state of the Union had not
been able to agree.

On the Ist inst. Mr. Benjamin made a secession
speech in the Senate, declaring that the South
could never be subjected to the North, whereupon
great confusion ensued in the galleries. In the
House resolutions were passed by a majority of 43
that the employment of force was impracticable.
The military preparations at Charleston were

MANSION-HOUSE.—Alexander Henderson,
photographic artist, 49, King William-street, was
again summoned before the Lord Mayor for carry-
ing on his worldly trade on the Sabbath.

The defendant has been repeatedly summoned
to this court by Mr. M.Grath, a tailor, who resides
on the same premises. He has always paid the Inc
55., and the expanses, and tbe Lord Mayor on former
occasions has ordered 23. 6d. to be paid to each
witness, as well as the cost of the summons. Two
others who were previously summoned with him,
as being his servants, however, have not had the
means of paying the money, and havinf, no goods
or chattels on which the fine could be lea led they
were allowed to leave the court.
On this occasion the defendant pleaded guilty, as
he had done on all other occasions, and Mr. WGrath
said he had one witness, upon which defendant
became very indignant and said that he had given
the complainant notlce that he should plead guilty,
and that he had no need to provide a witness.
The Lord Mayor said he did not intend to allow
anything for the witnesses. ur.nePcierson would

THE SIEGE OF GAETA.—The Presse states that
the Spanish frigate lying off Gaeta has been observed mak-
ing, for the guidance of the besieged, signals which have
been followed by better directed firing on the Piedmontese
position. A Toulon letter says :—" The Tage, line •of-
battle ship, at present stationed at Messina, has received
orders to return immediately to Toulon. The surrender of
the citadel of Messina being altogether dependent on the
fate of Gaeta, the continued presence of this vessel there
I has been judged wmeceasary."

THE.FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE ON RAGGE.D-,
AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

--

An influential meeting of gentlemen, who assembled on
the invitation of the Recorder and Mr. Charles Ra.tcliff,
took place yesterday, at Dee's Hotel, Birmingham, for the
purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the ap-
proaching conference in reference to " the education of the
dangerous and perishing classes of society," intended to be
held on the 23d instant, in this town. The attendance in-
cluded the Recorder, who presided ; the Mayor (A. Ryland,
Esq.), R. Spooner, Esq., M.P., the ex-Mayor (Sir J. Rat -
cliff), Messrs. C. Ratcliff, John F. Ledsam, Aston, Barlow,
Yates, Hibbert, Morgan, Hasluck, Jones, &c., &c. ; Revs.
Burt, Pettitt, Males, Hill, Dr. Mackenzie. Apologies for
absence were read from the Hon. and Rev. G. M. Yorke,
Mr. Kynnersley, and other gentlemen interested in the
movement, and promising their co-operation..
In opening the proceedings, the Recorder observed that
they were met for the purpose of making the necessary
business preparations for the Conference, the object of
which had been fully explained in the circular accompany-
ing the invitations. He alluded to the Confer ences which
had been previeusly held in the town, and whit h had con-
ferred such great distinction upon it, and to the important
results to which they had led, more particularly regard to
t:he Reformatory Schools. He remarked that the. Indus-
tn.s' Schools had received the benefit of Govornment
assi:stance, and a bill is now in preparation for Mr plying
the deficiency with regard to them. He also noticed the
witha:"awal of the assistance from Ragged Schools,, and
observea that it was to that particular class of instant ;ions
that the att`ention of the Conference would be directed. He
concluded by ~,xpressing his gratification that they ve,
have the benefit of Sir John Pakington'a presidency at GIB
morning meeting, and that he hoped to be able to indm
Sir John Coleridge, the friend of education, who so len, g
adorned the judicial bench, to take the chair at the evening
meeting.
A large committee, consistbg of the gentlemen present„
was appointed, with power to add to their number, and, at
the request of the meeting, Mr. Charles Ratcliff was ap- I
pointed Hon. Secretary.
It was decided that the Mayors, Magistrates, Managers
of Reformatory and Industrial Schools, and Chaplains of
Prisons in the kingdom, and the Provosts of the different
Scotch boroughs, should be invited to attend the Con-

ference.
The Conference will take place at Dee's Hotel, in the
morning of the 23d, and a meeting in the evening at the
Town Hall, the use of which has been granted by the
Mayor.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The special correspondent of the Nelson Exa-
miner, writing from Taranaki on the Bth instant,

says :
I am truly glnd to have good news this time
the Waikatos, estimated at 400, under Wetini-tai
porutn, a principal chief of the powerful Ngatihaua
tribe from the Thames, having been routed with
great loss on the morning of the 6th instant. The
previous reports brought in by Matiu of the
arrival of Waikatos at the Waitara were gross
exaggerations, got up by himself and the natives
to outwit us, and they succeeded. The object was
to draw the General's attention from the south, as
he was at the head of a powerful force, and had
already made himself master of the pah at Kaihihi,
and, as the natives rightly judged, intended to
follow up his advantage. The rebel and spy,
Matiu (who finds favour with the Native Depart-
ment), suddenly came in from Mataitawa, and
having his story artfully arranged as to names of
tribes represented, and of chiefs heading them, was
not disbelieved, and the General very properly
returned to town. This time he received his
reports from reliable sources.
It appears that on the day previous (sth), a
party of soldiers from Puketakauere, which is now
garrisoned by a foice of 50 men, whilst engaged in
bridging aver a swamp near the Waiongona, were
attacked by natives under the Waikato chief Rewi,
when one man of the 65th Regiment was wounded.
The natives, besides wounded, had five or six
killed. Major Nelson and Capt. Seymour, R.N.,
communicated with the General by the Tasmanian
Maid, and also the important information that a
body of Waikatos had taken possession that day
of Mahoetahi pah (which formed Col. Gold's halt-
ing-place when the attack on Puketakaure was
Made). A combined attack was concerted for the
following morning, and about four a.m. of the
6th, 700 men, including 120 militia and volun-
teers,with guns and rockets, left town, and on taking
up their ground, made the attack at once. After
'lonia shells and rockets had been fired at the pah,
the order for assAulOvas given, this honour falling
