FIJI,

The only intelligence of regular and orderly proceedings
from the obscure State of Fiji is that the King has paid
the first instalment of the debt to the United States. All
the rest is chaos. The islands are devastated by a war
waged against the settlers, cruel atrocities being perpe-
trated. The colonists are driven from their plantations
and their buildings burnt. The British war steamer
Challenger has destroyed a native village, killing 41 savages.
The natives, it seems, are judicious in their cannibalism.
They eat up a missionary and his wife, but preserve the
children. Things do not look very promising for the
irrepressible Briton in Fiji. The Australian Government
has bought rights in the islands, and a thousand emigrants
have settled there. If they finally succeed, we shall not
despair of seeing Dahomey Qr Tierra del Fuego colonised.

" Herr Schneider," of the Fifth Vida Battery of the
Prussian Guard Artillery, has died. This decease, which
is advertised in the Vbsoleche Zcitung, is not thkt of a great
general, nor an officer, nor even a soldier. "Herr
Schneider" was a distinguished goat. He came into
possession of the Fifth Battery during the war of
1864, and marched at its head throughout the terrible
campaign of 1866. He received rations, regularly
attended parade, and took his place amongst the non-com-
missioned officers. When hostilities commenced the
favourite of the regiment was tied up to one of the ammu-
nition waggons and kept in the rear, but during the battle
of Koniginhof, when the roar of cannon and discharges
of small arms were at their highest, the military spirit of
Herr Schneider broke out, and ho managed to slip away
and go to the front at full gallop, the orderly following
as fast as ho could in order to recover his charge.
Just at that moment the Crown Prince met
them, and inquired of the orderly what he
was doing with the goat. On being informed of the
state of affairs, his Royal Highness appeared much
amused, and said, jocosely, "Let him go ; he has orders to
attack the enemy, and will be in the mtlee before any of
you." Herr Schneider returned to the ammunition
waggon none the worse for his bravado. He had pre-
viously been made a sergeant by the soldiers, but after
this exploit he was elevated to the dignity of sergeant-
major. He escaped all the dangers of the campaign
unscathed, and marched at the head of the battery in the
memorable triumphant entry of the army into Berlin in
September.

Count Bismarck has returned to Berlin and has com-
menced business by a long interview with the King. He has
also paid several visits to the chief diplomatic notabilities.
The Paris correspondent of the Indtpendance Betge says
that the great Prussian statesman has obtained from the
King promises of a conciliatory policy with respect to
North Schleswig,. Count Bismarck wants to have done
with Denmark.

London, England, 1868-09-10

SAMBRE AND MEUSE.

The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this
company was held yesterday at the offices, Moor-
gate-street—Mr. G. Sheward in the chair.
Mr. A. Suellgrove, the secretary, having read
the notice c..n% cuing the meeting, the report, au
abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken
as read.

'lle CHAIRMAN said he had but little to tell the
shareholders ; the company was going on in the
usual way ; there bad been some change in the
tariff ; the trade in Belgium was bad ; and au in-
crease of about one-tenth had been made since the
last meeting in the mileage. lie then described
that the Grand Central Belga consisted originally
of three lines—the Antwerp and Rotterdam, the
Est Beige, and the Sarnbr.e and Meus. ?. Subse-
quently other railways had been added to the system,
but the. Sambre and Meuse Company had nothing
to do with the new arrangements, as they were en-
titled to a first charge of £40,000-a year, which was
paid in four instalmeuts: one every three mouths,
under the agreement. The minimum receipt of
£440,000 a year had not yet been reached after
which the Sambre and Mouse Company would be
entitled to participate in surplus profits to the ex-
tent of 16 per cent. cf the excess in the net re-
ceipts. There were five or six companies working
under as many different agreements, and separate
accounts bad to be kept. They were at present
working very amicably with the Grand Central,
and the £lO,OOO every three months was paid punc-
tually to the day, which enabled the directors of the
Sambre and Meuse Company to pay without delay
the dividend to the shareholders. It was possible
that some new arrangement might be proposed by
which the accounts of the joint working of the
several lines might be simp,ified and the cost of
keeping them reduced, but nothing in that respect
could be done without the sanction of the share-
holders.

Mr. lions said he had been to the office, and
had perfectly satisfied himself that the accounts of
the company were correct. lie hoped the gentle-
men who managed the undertaking, which wa3 now
a very large oue, would be contented with the num-
ber of lines they had now to work, and not add any
more new enterprises. lie hoped, when the coin-
tany was in receipt of a larger income than at pre-
sent, that about 1.:400 a sear would be set apart as
a sink►ng for the gradual rt,detuptiuu of the
SilateS ot the company. _

Ihe CHAIRMAN said they were already devoting
£324 each half-year, being the divideuds on 1,623
•nares, to tbat purpose for the redemption of

OLD AMERICA.

The more the Northern continent of America is
explored the more satisfied savans become that cly1"
lization, starting from tlytt continent—and travels"
lug the globe; ever following the sun's course—has
returned to the laud of its birth. It is not then the
A'ery but the Old World. If civilization really to
this extent travelled West, its last- traces on the
continent would be bordering the Pacific, and not
the Atlantic sea board. It is known, although but
dimly, that there are more remains of an ancient
civilization along the country of the Colorado and
some of its branches than in any other part of the
Union. Only the other day a party of Buyer°
in Arizona, engaged in exploring for tue best rail'
road routes, came upon a wide area of ruins ou the
banks of the Uttle Colorado river, along which they
extended for a great distance. Some of the walls
of buildings are yet in their places, and stand s 1
or eight feet high. The streets may be traced for
miles. The old irrigating cauals and ditches are
yet in a fair state of preservation, and may also be
so traced. The ground is strewn with broken crockery
ware. The party found vessels in curious form in ek,
ceilent preservation, but of a different quality and,
finer than those found at most of the ruins in Ati;
zona. Many of the walls of the houses were built 0'
hewn stone, in a workmanlike wanner. To all "r
pearance here once stood a city of many thousands
of inhabitants. Who they were or to what tribe
they belonged there is no rezord left to show. va
the easi, bank are the ruins of a large structure or
b
castle, covering several acres or land, with wallslel'
standing to the height of 2U or 3U feet. The period,
nowever, to whin the savans refer is of a date far
anterior to the building of such cities—coeval, 0r
perhaps even before the construction of the mounds
in the Mississippi Valley, from which :;he river I)3'
of
retired in the lapse of ages. Profess rr Leidzr f
ettiladelpuid, has in course of publication a wort'
great interest on the extinct animals of Aineriell'
Among these are reckoned several which are Olt
ooutined to Asia and Africa, such as the camel, the
rhinoceros, the elephant, and mastodon. 'Mein
former existence is inferred from the fossil bunco'
particularly the teeth, which are found in consider
•
able quantities in the West.. And the conclusion _
which these fossils, and those of different races e'
men, bring the savans is, that the Western cono.
ueut is really the Uld world, and the Eaotern Is 10
tact the New world.

DR. GOSS UN THE CO.IILNG ELECTIONS.

On Sunday afternoon, Dr. Goss, the Bishop of
blessed a new bell and opened a new
tower at the Catholic chapel at South Hill, about
three miies from Cherley. After the certAnony he
delivered a discourse, iu the course of which tic
referred to the Ritualists, and said their putting on
of vestments and their ceremonies were nothing
wore than a mockery ; they lacked the true signifi-
cance. Some newspapers in Liverpool had sneered
at the lass, ceremony of blessing a bell, siying that
although it had been blessed, it had by some means
got cracked, and had done no good. The blessing
of a bell would not prevent accidents happening to
it ; it was only blessed that thereby, wnerever its
sound might be heard, the evil spirits might be dis-
pelled. In referring to the principal quesdon of
the day, he said it was supposed that the Catholic
bishops and clergy were banded together to pu;
down the Established Church in Ireland, and when
that had been accomplished to pull the E,tabdshed
Church in England down. Now, the Catholic
priesthood held aloof from all political matters,
:aid left every Catholic perfectly free to do as he
liked. lie had bceu a bishop for fifteen years,
and during that time had never interfered iu poll-
tical matters. Although he had a right to use
what influence he had, still he had not dune so. lb
would have every one to know that whoever paid
taxes, whether he be Churchman or layman, he
had a perfect right to use the vote he possessed as
he liked ; and, although his influence had been
solicited during the cowing contest, he had pre-
ferred to keep himself aloof from those blinl-
nesses and JealouSies, and left his people to act for
themselves. Let every wan exercise the vote
which the State had given him according to the
dictates of his own conscience, and without in-
fluence. If any Catholic hears it said that the
Bishop said they must vote in a certain way they
must not believe it, for he had never opened his.
mouth upon the subject more than he had now
doue. If the Catholics were striving to pull down
the Church in Ireland it was not because it was
Protestant, but because it was the Church of a
minority. he Catholic priesthood resented any
inteiference on Church matters on the part of th.
laity, so on political matters they left their flocks
to act according to their own consciences, for they
knew as well as he did what were the political views
of the candidates. After relating the persecu-
tions which the Irish had undergone for the last
300 y ears, the Bishop exhor.ed all Catholics to keep
:heir temper during the coming election. He th:n
proceeded to say that he regretted that the cry of
.No Popery " had been raised by Mr. Disraeli—
a cry which was a disgrace to him and his party,
but respect for the sanctuary in which he was pre-
vented him from using the term which would be
sufficiently condemnatory of Mr. Disrae:i's
conduct.
