ENGLAND's FIJIAN EMPIRE.-We
wonder how many of our readers are
aware of the extent of Fiji" as the
colony is called. We certainly had in
our mind greatly underestimated it,
and we venture to say that most even
of those who have watched the colony
with interest have done the same
The Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Des
Veux, in his annual messane, deliver
ed to the Legislative Council on Janu-
ary 10Th of this year, stated that most
people thought the islands about as
I'm mportant as the Scilly Islands, but
"that line drawn around the extremi-
ties of the colony would describe fig
ure of which the shortest diameter
would be over 200 miles in length, the
longest over $40 miles, and steam
vessel passing over this line at ten
miles an hour would occupy little less
than FIVE days and nights on the voy-
age. Of the eighty or more Inhabited
islands enclosed by this line, one is
about as large as Jamaica and consider
ably larger than Cyprus, a second
would contain Mauritius three times
and Barbados ten times, and the ag-
gregate area Of the whole is greater
than of all the British West India Is
lands (Janaica, Trinidad and the
Windward and Leeward islands," The
islands will grow every sub-tropical
product, and already, thanks to Sir Ar
thur Gcrdon's wise device of taking
revenue in kind, as recently described
in these columns, are already paying
their own expenses.-London Specta-

The Rochester Democrat and Chrou.
icle says: "The outlook for Repub!i-
can principles was never brighter than
it is to-day. All classes of Republi
cans are thoroughly united upon prin-
ciple. Much that was irritating in the
past has been composed. The Presi.
dent shows no symptoms Of deviating
from the course he has adopted with
the unanimous approval of the party
The revolutionary attitude of the Dem.
ocratic party, and its loose notions con-
cerning the national honor, disturb
and disgust reasonable Americans of
various political affiliations, and the in
dependent voter gladly embraces the
opportunity to aid by his ballot the
triumph of the Republican party. Let.
Republican concord be maintained
and no apprehension need be had as to
the result of the national canvass which
is so near at hand. "

puation Of New York poured into
Prospect Park to-day to witness the
unveilipg Of the statue Of Tom Moore,

the appointed hour, the society, invited

cession under the direction of George
M. Nichols, Esq, Grand Marshal Of
the day, and marched to the Italian
Garden, the most beautiful spot in
Prospect Park, where the statue was
in position upon the pedestal and
ready to the unveiled At signal
from the Grand Marshal, the band of
forty instruments played one Of Moore's
choicest melodies, which was followed
by the singing Of another selection by
a quartette of accomplished vocalists.
Hon. Thomas Kinsela, editor of the
Brooklyn Eagle, and President of St.
Fatrlcks Society, then stepped forward
and delivered short and eloquent ad-
dress, which was frequently and loud
ly interrupted bv the cheers of the
men and the clapping Of bands by the
ladies. At the. conclusion of this ad-
dress, the statue was unveiled by the
sculptor, John Draddy, and President
Stranaban, of the Park Commission,
made the speech of acceptance. Mayor
Howell followed with a brief address,
thanking St. Patrick's Society, through
its President, for the beautiful gift to
Brooklyn. Mr.. Andrew Mclean,
managing editor of the Eagle read
poem.

LONDON, May 3O.-A dispatch from
Cape Town says it is reported that
Cetewayo is retiring northward.
A telegram from Maritzburg, dated
May IA, says there is exciting news
from the Tngela frontier near Help

battle took place at point between
Thringpost and Sanahawalla. The
powerful Zulu chief, snamed Matcona,
With all his people, numbering some
thousands, had resolved to surrender

When nearing Thriugpost they were
unexpectedly intercepted by power

by Ceteweyo, coming from the north
ward. A fearful conflict eusued, re-
sulting in a great slaughter of the Zu-
lus, who wished to surrender, and they
were dispersed and driven back. Mat

Manzi was killed. King Cetewayo,
elated with his success, and apparently

CATANIA, May 0U.-Iresn cTaterS
have opened on Mount iItua, endan-
gering Blanca Villa, Randazzo and
Castigliomes. Clouds of ashes over
hang Piedmont, which is in almost
total darkness.
ROME, May 30.-The latest advices
from Randazzo report craters formed
on two slopes of Mt. Htna and dou-
Bile eruption is proceeding.
Mt. ETNA-LoNDoN, May 3d.
The eruption of Mount Htna increases
in force. The quantity of ashes thrown
out is somewhat less, but the volume
of vapor has greatly increased in den
sity. Wednesday night, number of
brilliant balls Of fire were thrown to a
great height, and bursted alCft, like
rockets, emitting fiery shower. A
stream of lava is flowing apparently in
the direction Of Raudazzo, but the ex-
act line has not yet been verified.
During the whole of Wednesday nigh.
loud reports, like the rolling of artil-
lery, were heard.
The COLONIZATION SCHEME. NEW
York. May 28.-Catholic archbishops
and bishops met large number of
wealthy laymen of the city and county
last night at the rooms of the Xavier
Union. Eugene Kelley introduced
John E. Devlin, who read an address
of welcome to the reverend visitors.
Representative Catholics were present
from many States. Among the themes
discussed were the plans of the Catho-
lie Colonization Association of the
United States. A meeting will be
held on Friday of bishops and laity in
teres,ed. The object of the associa-
ton is to promote and assist colonial
ton in the prairies Of the West of So
ber, thrifty and industrious Catholics.
A preliminary meeting of the board of
directors was held yesterday at the re-
sidence of Rev. DR.. McGlynn, Of St.
Stephens. Bishop Spalding, the chair
man, made an address. The associa-
tion did not propose to relieve pauper-
ism except by preventing it, but it
proposed to aid Industrious working men
to find homes for themselves and fami-
lies in the West under Catholic au-
spices, which would secure for them
and their children all the security
sought by Catholics.

that the President has decided not to
approve the findings of the court of in
quiry in the Fitz John Porter case,
and that he will refer them for exami-
nation and revision to the Judge Ad-
vocate General of the Army.
All army promotions which have
been suspended in the Committee on
Military Affal rs while awaiting the Sen
ate's action on the legal question raised
in regard to them, were to-day reported
back to that body in executive session
and placed on the calender, with the
committees commentator that they be
confirmed.
