STATE OF NEW ZEALAND.
The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's
from their agent at Auckland, under date the 24th May :
"The blockade of the port at the Bay of Islands is still in
force. Another engagement has taken place between the
natives and the soldiers, in which the latter have been par-
tially successful. About 14 soldiers and marines are killed,
and the large number of 37 wounded. The natives, on the
other hand, have about 100 killed, and a large number
wounded. Hostilities have for the present ceased, and the
troops are on their way returning to this place (Auckland).''

YELLOW FEVER AT MALTA.—The Gazette du
Mid: states that the Mongibello steamer, which arrived at
Marseilles on the 16th of October, has brought news that
the yellow fever had made its appearance on board a vessel
which had entered the port of Malta. The number of cases
was said to be two, one of which was followed by death.
On receiving this news, the Neapolitan Council of State had
assembled, and laid the matter before the Board of Health,
which immediately ordered all vessels from Malta to be sub-
jefqed to a strict quarantine. This intellingence is not con-
firmed, however, from any other source.
" LIRKING."—Sotne gents. in the little town of
Cleobury Mortimer, determined upon having a " lark," rose rather
earlier last Thursday morning than the bird of that name is ems.
tomed to do, and about half-past two o'clock in the morning got
into the church, and began pulling at the bells most unmercifully.
Such a jangle at such an unreasonable hour speedily aroused the
inhabitants, who were to be seen running about in all directions in a
few minutes time, but before they got to the church the birds
were flown. After giving vent to "curses loud and deep" upon the
disturbers of tl.eir peaceful slumbers, they tumbled into bed again,
and next day sent the crier round to offer a reward for the discovery
of the offenders, but without effect.— Worcesfershrre Chronicle.
INCREASE (SF ATTORNEYS.—According to the ofli-
cia list published by the authority of the members of the Law In-
stitution, it appears that 179 persons have given notice of intend-
ing to apply during the ensuing Michaelmas term to be admitted as
attorneys to practice in the several Courts at Westminster.
CHARLTON, OR HORN FAlR.—This annual car-
nival in the vicinity of Woolwich commenced on the 18th inst.,
and w .s concluded on Tuesday. The weather being remarkably fine
and dry during the three days it lasted, thousands of the inhabi-
tants of the metropolis availed themselves of the cheap fares to
Charlton and Woolwich, by the Woolwich and Watermen's steam-
packets, to etijey a short river excursion, and on no former occa.
slots was the company at the fair known to be so numerous as on
the present. On Monday evening, a number of the gentlemen
cadets entered the fair and took two or three turns round the booths
and stalls, and on some of them being refused admittance to wi ness
the interior of one of the booths, it was apprehended a disturbance
would take place, but fortunately their absence from barracks was
soon discovered, and the appearance of Lieutenant Christie, at.
tached to the Cadet Company, induced them all to return home.
It was said there were several of the variegated lamps broken,
but it is questionable by whom, as on former occasions, during
the presence of gentlemen cadets, damage has been done to
vehicles and other articles, and they have been charged with the
offence, from an impression, which has in some instances been found
correct, that their parents or friends would pay any reasonable com-
pensation rather than allow the names of the gentlemen cadets to
be brought betire the public. There were hundreds of the Royal
Artillery and Royal Marines et the fair every day, who conducted
themselves in the most peaceable manner. Amongst the exhibi-
tions were three or four large tents, designated Fives Courts, and
having the names of almost every professor of the art of boxing ex-
hibited in large letters to induce visitors to enter, but they did not
appear to be well attended. Cheapness was the order of the day,
the admittance to the principal booths for dancing having been re.
duced frcm Is. to ad. each person, and those performances formerly
charged 6d. and 3d. to witness them, uniformly reduced to Id., or,
as they were appropriately designated, " Adm;ssion postage price,
one penny." The police of the R division, by excellent manage.
meat, a little coaxing. and, when necessary, a show of authority,
succeeded in clearing the fair about twelve o'clock on each night
with very little trouble.
THE WEATHER ANT, CROPS.—The weather, during
the past week, has been wet and showery, and few opportunities
have been afforded for securing the crops in those places where
they still stand nut. In this neighbourhood, beans excepted, the
fields are nearly cleared. The almost total failure of the potato
crop is exciting great alarm among all classes. Whole fields are
so entirely destroyed, that they would not defray the expense of
raising them. One hundred bolls of them have been offered for
one hundred shillings, and refused.--Ayr Observer.
RECRUITS FOR TILE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—MrjOr
Greenwood, C. 8., left Woolwich in the early part of August last
for Fight, on the recruiting service, with one non-corn-
nessioned officer and several gunners and drivers, and letters have
been received at Woolwich from them stating that they had not
obtained one recruit. This has not arisen from any want of
exertion on the part of the Gallant Major and the men en-
gaged under his directions, but is entirely owing to the poor
prospects held out lay 6d. per day pensions on retiring from
the service. Formerly some of the best and well-educated
young men in the counties of Aberdeen, Bann; Moray,
Nairn, and Inverness, joined the Royal Regiment of
Artillery, and several of them have been deservedly
promoted from the ranks, and now enjoy the highest position they
can attain as commissioned officers, and staff non-commissioned
officers, with certainty of excellent retiring pensions on quitting the
service, It is doubtful, however, if these parties would ever have
been induced to enlist in the Royal Regiment of Artillery
had nut the prospect of Is. per day been held out to them under
any circumstances, and without rising from the ranks; and it is
well known that the poor pittance of 6d. per day held out
to ycung men as the reward for serving their country during
the best part of their lives, is the cause of the great reluct-
ance of Scotchmen to join the Ordnance corps, and even line
regiments, at the present period. It is not generally known that
the pension warrant, reducing the former pension warrant from
Is,
to 6d. a-day, held out the prospect of Id. additional per day to
every, soldier's pay at the end of seven years of good conduct ;
lid.
per
twenty-one ay
atthe end of fourteen years, and 3d. per day at the end of
years, which he may enjoy in addition to his pension ;
but young men do not comprehend these gradations, and
consequently are reluctant to enter
theay service.reind rescinded
Were
the pension warrant of sixpence a d
one shilling, as formerly substituted,
Insignificant, and an excellentnee
class of young men would be induced to enter the co rps. The
Royal Sappers and Miners' branch of the ordnance service find no
difficulty in obtaining recruits in Scotland at present, and Glasgow
has furnished a large number. The preference is given to the ,
Royal Sappers and Miners, because the men are allowed pay for
working as well as spieler's pay, and Scotchmen, with their
generally provi tent habits, place deposits in the savings-bank, to
assist them in ilicreaSing the amount therhave to depend on when
they are discharged from the service.--Times.
