DCNKDIiV. THURSDAY, APRP 6

Mr. Darva_t, has introduced abill into theParliament of New South Wales for theenforcement of more stringent measuresfor the suppression of bushranging ; and asa justification of the coercive policy he re-commends, he hasfurnished the world withsome startling particulars aa to the reignof lawlessness in that greatcolony. Societyhas too long been familiar with the con-stant stories of outrage and murder toldby the Sydney press; but it is only whena condensed and complete view of thecrimes committed is presentedto thereader,

| that a full sense is realised of the extent towhich law has been successfully defied. Itis high time indeed, not only for thesecurity of society in New South Wales,but fbr the reputationofthe Colonic*? gene-rally that the Sydney Government shonldshake off from itself the scandal of theutter powerlessness it has displayed, to dowhat is the one first.duty of all Govern-ments— uphold the safety of life and thesecurity of property. The Colonies as awhole, sympathised with the strong effortsmade by Victoria to resist the practicalrevival of transportation, feeling thateach one would suffer in repute and infact, from its connection more or lessintimate with a system so necessarily con-taminating and threatening to society.It is the dearest object ot the Coloniesto commend themselves to the peopleat home of all classes, specially capi-talists and intending emigrants, ascountries in which personal security canbe enjoyed, industry and commercebe successfully prosecuted, and its fruitsguarded by the strong hand of thelaw, and a well-organised and effectivepolice. It ""}of little use to offerattractiveland syste- v as inducements to settlement,if the p> valence of lawlessness—andtlie doubt .ss exaggerated impressions ofit which tae reports that reach the MotherCountry create—jar upon that confidencein the power and majesty ofthe law, andits sufficiency to protect and to avenge,which is oneof the main secrets of Eng-land's commercial and industrial success.And notably the inducements to the in-vestment of foreign capital are lessenedand higher prices necessitated for allmoneys obtained, in proportion as theColonial Governments prove themselvesunable to suppress lawlessness.

AVell indeed might Mr. Darvall protestthat it was with pain and indignation hefound himselfcompelled to propose newcoercive measures, for the repression ofanevil which all the ordinary and extraor-dinary powers of the Government hadhitherto been ineffective to deal with. Butto show how necessary it was, he fur-nished the assembly he was address-ing with a detailed account of someof the more notable offenders oflate years. We cannot followthe AttorneyGeneral through this graphic narrative,exceptso faras will serve to catalogue the" heroes"oftheroad, living or dead. Hisfirst group included three notables—Gardiner, Piesley, and Davis. Gardinerhad been guilty of six highway robberiesunder arms, besides six other outrages withfirearms. Piesley had committed murder,had been connected with three mail rob-beries, besides five other depredationsunder arms. Davis hadbeen guilty ofthreemail robberies. Then—Bowe and Fordycehad each been guilty ofone mail robbery.Gilbert had already committed two mur-ders, twenty-one mail robberies, thirty-seven otherdepredationsunder arms; total,sixty. Hall had committed two murders,twenty-two robberies, andthirty-two otherdepredations under arms; total, fifty-six. O'Meally had been guilty of

BY ORDEB =k -is-:

one murder, nine highway rob-beries, seventeen other offences ; total,twenty-seven. Daley had committedtwenty-three highway robberies underarms. Lowrie had* been guilty ©f threemail robberies. Dunn bad already, so faras known,committed two murders, twelvehighwayrobberies, fourteen other offencesunder arms; total, twenty-eight. Dun-leveyhadcommitted several grave offencesunder arms. Morgan had perpetratedtwenty robberies under arms, six timeshe had wounded with intent, and he hadcommitted at least two murders. Havingcontributed this edifying chapter tothe re-cent historyof the colony, MrDarvaltgaveanaccount of" what hadbecome of " theseruffians,in terms so concise that his ownwords may be quoted:—" Gardiner had" been sentenced to thirty-two years' im-" prisonment, with hard labor; Piesley" had been convicted and executed ; Gil-" bert, Hall, Dunn, and Morgan, he re-" gretted to say, were still at larg-e;" Dunlevey had been shot, Fordyce had" been sentenced to life, Chartres had been" admitted as an approver, Lowrie had" been shot; and it was remarkable thatof" the four highway robbers that had been" recently Bhot, two were shot by private" individuals. Even the Chinamen,tra-" duced and despised as they were, had"mustered up courage and strength of" purpose to resist oneofthosemarauders.'

Mr. Darvall has distinguished himselfbyhis efforts to secure a fair and equitableadministration of justice to persons accusedof crime. One of the most ablejurists of New South Wales', where theBar is illustrated by many eminent men,he was the strong advocate of a mea-sure for the treatment ofan accuserand anaccused person as equals until the verdictof the jury was given, and pro-posed to enable a prisoner to makehis statement on oath as evidence.Yet so strongly moved is he by a sense ofthe dishonor cast upon the country he hasadopted,by the unckecked prevalence oflawlessness—some of the most notoriousof the marauders having held the highwayfor three, four, and five years—that liedeclared—" Only he respected the ad-ministration of the law so much, hewould advocate Lynch law."

The policy proposed by the learnedgentleman is not to enforce an increasedseverity of punishment, but to facilitatethe apprehension of the oifender. Mr.Darvall lias a conviction that the NewSouth Wales robber is, as a rule, a verycowardly animal. His advantage lies inthe fact that the law enables him to enjoythe opportunity of the first shot. Noprivate person or even policemanis at liberty to shoot him down until he hashad his "first innings," probably with mur-derous effect. A constable may indeed,in theexerciseofa warrant, fire, after he hashas called on the offender to surrender;but this requires him to come into dan-gerous proximity to the bushranger ; andinstances were cited in which, under thesecircumstances, the constables were deliber-ately fired at. This anomaly Mr. Darwallproposes to amend, by introducing a lawof "outlawry," under which personsknown to have been guilty of murderouscrimes, and proclaimed after full judicialinvestigation, may be dealt with as theenemies of Society, and may be lawfullydestroyed. The next phase ofthe evil to bedea't with, is the impunity the Bushrangerenjoysthrough the shel'er afforded him, insome cases from sym athy, in many othersfrom fear. This, Mr. Darvall proposes toremedy, by making it felony, involvingforfeiture of all lands and goods,and liability to imprisonment for notmore than fifteen years, to harborany proclaimed outlaw, or to with-hold information of his whereaboutsfrom the police. These are ihemain provisions of this measure. Noone who has familiarized himself withthe records of criire in New South Walescan hesitate to admit the necessity tbat hasarisen for special and severe legislation.That sucli a bill should have been foundexpedient is striking evidence of thehumiliating condition to which a greatColony has been reduced. But it will besatisfactory to all the Colonies to knowthat at la-st the Government of NewWales ha3taken this matter in hand in apractical spirit, by the adoption of stepscertainly aiming at the veryroot of tbeevil. It may be added that the secondreading of Mr Darvall's Bill was carried.bya majority of 37 votes to 4.

The Dnnedin Races commence to-day, onthe Silverstream Course. There are fiveevents on the card—The Maiden Plate, of .r>()sovereigns ; the Dunedin Handicap, of 125sovereigns; the Lottery Plate, of 60 sove-reigns ; the Metropolitan Handicap, of 100sovereigns ; and tho Hack Itace, of 100 sove-reigns. The Banks are to be closed. Nodoubt many merchants and others will followthe example ; and with good weather, thegathering may be expected to prove a suc-cess.

We arecompelled to withhold our report ofthe presentation to Captain Hobbs, of theFire Brigade, until to-morrow.

By the Susannah Booth we have lateSydney papers, and a few items ofMelbourneand Adelaide news, which are acceptable,owing tothe long delay in the arrival of asteamer from Port Phillip.

An experienced miner, who arrived by theAlhambra, on Tuesday evening,has commu-nicated to usth-following information, whichwepublish at bia request,and by the desire of

OF THE TRUSTEES * -

- anumber of diggersfrom Otago, still thero,, who are anxious that correct informationI should be disseminated as to theprospects ofr success. He arrived atOkitiki on Monday,; the 13th March, and proceeded atonce to ther diggings. The ground originally discovered, was worked by parties who had taken a large

quantity of gold out of it, but nothing freshhadbeen discovered of any value. No mat-ter what direction is taken, the gullies andwater courses have been tried ; but while in

1 every case tbe color of gold bas been obtained,

' it has never been found in payable quantity.

" Several rushes have taken place in

" different directions. Our informant formed■ one of a party who went to onei about six miles up the river en awashed hill.

" A party had been working tliere for aboutl eight months, and had done a little good.

There wero also two or three other pirties at, work who, however, would give no informa-, tion as to their earnings. Hundreds of menprospected all round them ; but although allobtained gold,itwasbut the "color;*' nothingpayable could be found. A rush also took

' place to the Canary branch of the Okitiki,and great numbers went there, and also to acreek about three miles from Okitiki,- but theresult was the same in every instance—the"color" was obtained, but-the quantity wasnot payable. The country for some distanceinland is flat and low, and then tliere arc afew slight elevations. Passing over thesethere areflats and swamps, which extant! np-. parently to the foot of tho dividing range.The Okitiki aad numerous small streamsflow through these, and the country is liableto sudden inundations from rain fallingfora comparatively short period. On one oc-casion aworking party with great difficultysaved their lives from aflood occasioned bythesudden rise of the Totara river after aday's rain. Enpassant, it may be observedthat this party had put in a sluice box andobtained as the result of, tlu-ir first day'swashing, from two to five pennyweight? ofgold. There is plenty of wood,but it is sosaturated with moisture that it is very diffi-cult to m;ike a fire. Tho road to what istermed the older digging-}—the Six Mile—liesalong the Ocean ll'jaeh, on leaving wliich tbetrack turns suddenly into tba bush ; on enter-ing which a traveller sinks kaeedcep in slushwhich becomes dicper the further an advanceis made into the bush. Tnis has tobe crossedand recrossed in all conceivable directions, byroots and trunks of trees, so as to render italmost impassable. In addition to thisinconvenience,the mud has a most offensivesmell of vegetable matter in a state of de-composition. From the water which is drunkbeing strongly impregnated with vegetablematter, it is probably owing that dysenteryand rheumatism are so prevalent. Numbersof men who have been at the diggings arenow in Okitiki, walking about the street',waiting for an opportunity to get away.Provisions are dear, bread being .'ss per 41bloafat Okitiki, but nt the diggings prices archigh in proportion to the distance from thetownship. Okitiki has every appearance ofbeing under water in heavy floods. Afteronenight's rain, about a fortnight back, onestreet in the township was completelyflooded. ,

Before the Resident Magistrate yesterday,Frederick "Noble was charged with havingburglariously entered the house of JohnBates, in aright-of-way off Maclaggan street,at midnighton the 4r.h inst., and stolen there-from two coats nnd one hat. He was com-mitted to tako his trial before the SupremeCourt. After a long list of civil cases hadbeen disposed of, by arrangement the ad-journed charge was proceeded with againstCliaries Pearson Fox, for having stolen Lt SOfrom the Post ofiice, Dunedin, between theevening of the 18th and the mornirg ofthe20th December, 18fi-l. A very long openingstatement of the facts which he intended to "prove in evidence was made by Mr HenryHoworth, who appeared to prosecute for theCrOwn, after wliich only two witnesses wereIexamined, the report of whose evidence willbe found elsewhere. The prisoner was thenremanded for further examination to thisday, but was admitted to kail, himself in1.500 and two sureties in L250 each. The jbail was obtained. j

We understand that -the members of the jlegal profession practising in Dunedin, have, Iin furtherance of the steps taken at the lastsitting of the Court of Appeal, and in con-junction with their brethren in the otherProvinces, addressed a memorial to theirHonors the Judges ofthe Supreme Court,upon the much debated question of the Barcostume.

The annual soiree in connection with the IWakari District School, was held in the JSchoolroom there, on Tuesday evening last. :The object of this year's soiree was to pro- <vide a library for the uso of the children «attending the school. Theroom wascrowded -to suffocationby the families ofthesettlers in ]the district, who turned out in force, and in itheir beßt attire':for the occasion. George 'Hepburn, Esq.; M.P.C, was voted to the tchair. Aftera sumptuous repast, consisting Ioftea, cakes, fruit,&c.,&0., provided by, and 1at the expense of the ladies of tho district, 1addresses appropriate for the occasion, were idelivered by the chairman, Mr Forsaith, iJohn Gillies, Esq., and the Key. D. M. 1

IN THE ESTATE OF

"Stewart, tbeaddresses being interspersed bymusic, consisting of piano-forte solos aud

' duets, &c., conductedby Miss Strieker, andMessrs Fleming, AUsa and Marshall. The, entertainment was concluded ut half-pastnine-o'clock p.m., snd nil thecompany returned totheir respective homes delighted with theevening's enjoyment, and expressing a hopethat a similar meeting mfty be of a yearlyoccurrence. Mr Shanks, in very appro-priate and eloquentlanguage,returned thanksto the ladies for the handsome manner in.which the whole affair was gotup.

We yesterday mentioned Ihat the prisonerJohn lliordan, who was committed to theSupreme Court on a charge of attemptingto set fire to premises in Walker street, badbeen admitted to bail. The fact was, tbatthe Magistrate agreed to liberate theprisoneron bail, himself in £500, and two sureties in.£250each. Two sureties were named for theprisoner, and were accepted by the Magistrate,but the persons so named did not come for-ward, and the prisoner remained in custodyduring Tuesday night. Another effort wasmade to arrange the bail yesterday, but up toa late hour last night the prisoner wasstill irecustody.

It was long after midnight when theTheatre closed on Tuesday night, the tragedyof "Othello" and theburlesque of "Medea,"furnishing asomewhat too liberal bill of tare.The house was not well attended, and thetragedy fell somewhat tlatly. Othello is nota character in whicli Mr Billon appears tothe best advantage. His acting is in mostpartsa forceablo delineation, but it is wantingin tenderness and pathos. It is not quite theOthello, who "black," and having, " not thesoft parts of conversation that ebambererEhave," must yethave possessed soma wonder-ful sweetness andfascination of mannerto havecastnspelloverthefairand gentleDesdemona.In the mare passionate scenes, Mr Dillon'sacting was the best, and the jealousy of v.fierce nature, which contact with the civili -/ation of Venice had only partially reclaimed,and especially the remorse following the mur-der of Desdemona, on receiving proofs of iterinnocence, were very tff^ctivcly rendered.Mr.s Dillon played Desdemona very sweetly ;and Miss Rosa Cjopcr waa all that could bedesired as Km ilia. Indeed this lady quitedeserved to be included in the call before thecurtain, which was accorded to Mr and MrsDillon. Of Mr Fawcett's lago, we cannotspeak in terms of praise. It, was a characterentirely unsuited to him, and it was impassi-ble not to detect under the guise of the in-sidious tempter the " light comedy gentle-man" of the stage. Othello's suspicion ofhis wife would never have beon aroused if thereal la^ohad not been a better counterfeit ofhonest jealousy of his friend's honor, than MrFawcett made him. Ho was infinitely betterin Medea, acharacter herendered with the mostgrotesque effaet. Miss Rosa C roper as Jason ,and Miss D >lly Green as Creusa, both playedwell, and Mr Willmot; made v good Orpheiit.—Last evening, Mr Dillon appeared as SirGibs Overreach iv Massingo/s play. " ANew Way toPay Old Debts." The cunningand cruel rapacity of the old man, who carestor nothingsave to see his daugh*cr the wifeof a lor', wero forcibly pourtrayed ; but, forsome reason, apartfrom the conscientious en-deavours of the actor, theacting fell flat, SirGiles being, with the audience, the leasteffective of Mr Dillon's representations here.Margaret is not a pirt of much importance ;Mrs Dillon looked and played it wellalthough suffering from a severe cild. MrGeorge Fawcett was hardly intense enough i«tho bitter rascality of Marall. Mr Streetottmade Greedy fussy and funny enough.Miss Cassy Matthews was good as LadyAllworth. "The Merchant of Venice" hsannounced for this evening.

The Dunedin Philharmonic Society gavethe first conctrt of the season in St. George'sIlall, Stuart street, yesterday evening. It isgratifyin.; to observe, irom the great numberof person** present, how deeply interested thepeople of Dunedin arc in the science ofmusic;anil although the orchestra appeared lessnumerous than on previous occasions, it is

{evident that the interest taken in the successjt>fthe '-.rciety is not in any degreelessened.;The Oratorio chosen for the occasion wast.mdel's " Samson," a composition which,compared with "Messiah" and "Israel inEgypt," is but littleknown. From the natureofthe subject, it can easily be conceived thata very different style pervades it froni thegrand simplicity of the Messiah, and fromthe fact of its performance being cornparatively rarely attempted. Its melodiesandharmonies are not so familiar to musicians.Asa composition,, it abounds in recitationsand solos, presenting no .ordinary difficultiesto amateurs ; the more particularly as theyinvolve somewhat of dialogue, and- requirea melodramatic rendering. In fact, theOratorio itself is a tragic opera, in wbichhuman passion and emotion hold a prominent;place. It was thereforea bold attempton thepartofthe Philharmonic: Society to performthis Oratorio, especially as, from tbe absenceof an instrumental band, they aro almostwholly dependent for effective rendering ofthe music, upon the voices. So far as thisdrawback could be overcome by a singleaccompaniest, it was done by Mr May, towhom every creditis duefor the- skill and tact'with which ho sustained tho singers withthe piano. This is the moro remarkable,, asit is not a fortnight since he undertook thetask; and it speaks well for the ability oi*MrMay thatatso short anotice he hasbeenable to effect so much. It is needless to sayofan amateur performance, that with someexceptions,tho choruses were themosteffective.A little more attention to the balance ofpower of the various parts would;howevergive a smoothness asd effect to them, which.are at present wanting. For instance, thetenors muster strong, and when singing atfull power havo a tendency toover-masterthe alto and soprano parts, both of whichbeing numerically, and from thecharacter oftho voices,weaker, are necessarily unable tosustain tho competition. It would also boless distressing to the soloists if they were

«xcu*ed singing in the choruses. Few voicesare equal tothe strain ofthree hours'contin-uous sirging, without loss of power, and whennicety of intonation and expression are re-quired ns in a solo,rest at intervals is abso-lutely essential. Mr West has aclaim uponthe thanksof thesociety, for the success whichhas attended his efforts as conductor. Fromthe precision -which marked most of thechoruses,it is evident that he has given moclicareful attention to tlie necessary practice.The success which has attended this i flort ofthe Philharmonic Society, kugura well for itsfuture advancement—but we venture to sug-gest that this would be promoted by a well iorganised instrumental band.

We heard last ni;rht that the police hadascertained that there bad been a mistake inidt-ntifyitigjthe murdered German, " Charley,"as the man Klauss who charged tbe prisonerFord with robbing him early last month.Klauss, it is now said, pnives to be employedon board tho Geelong steanvjr ; but we havenot heard any particulars explanatory of themistake whicli seems to have occurred.

BY THE ALHAMBRA TO THEWEST COAST.

(PK/51 OUR OWS 0OK«r/>P0:J_EKT.)To sail'direct for the West Coast by

»uch avessel as the Alhambra is decidedly,tinder the present circumstances, the■shortest and easiest method of travel to

" the Okitiki diggings that can reasonably bechosen—if anyone can be said to have hisreason left, who would choose to go thereafter the information which is probablynow procurable, from hundreds of wit-nesses, as to the true character of tbecountry and its greatly over-rated gold

v field. Leaving Port Chalmers late onTuesday, the 28th ultimo, with about 220souls on board, the Alhambra completedher trip via Foveaux Straits, to the road-stead ofOkitiki or the Brunner(whicheverit may prove tobe), by daylight on the fol-lowing Friday, and within the succeedingfour-and-twenty hours, 270 diggers, outof the hundreds more who may be ex-pected to return before many (lays, hadbooked and shipped for Lyttelton anclDunedin.. With this fresh freightshe made the return passage by Cook'sStraits, occupying precisely a week in thenecessary work of tbe trip, and in thecomplete circumnavigation of the MiddleIsland; the distance steamed during thetime being about twelve hundred nauticalmiles. By tbe courtesy ol Capt. M'Lean,I was afforded the opportunity ofenjoyingtbis most plea-antpiece of coast-sailing, inwhich there is presented to the travelleras great a variety of coastal scenery as in,perhaps, to be viewed within tiie samerange in anj- pirt ofthe world, and wlierethe magnificently picturesque may safelybe said to predominate to nn extent wliichis altogether unparalleled. Moreover, theshort voyage just {rave time enough for aflying visit to the already famous township

"of Okitiki and its environs, and oppor-tunities of intercourse with many diggerswho had practically posted tht*r;i*elves upas to the aurifcrotis merits of thedistrict—matters relative to which thepublication of a few memorandawill, no doubt, be considerably moreinteresting at the present time*, thanwould anyattempted descriptionof MountCook by moonlight, or thy phantasma-goriaof a sun-rise in Milford Sound.

From Otago Heads to Okitiki the sail-ing distance, south about, is equal to .MOmiles, being shorter by 1-10 mih-s, or, tospeak accurately, by at least 120 miles,than the route through Cook's S.raits.Leaving Otago Heads at dusk, a steamersuch as the Alhambra usually reachesB'ufT Harbor on the succeeding morning,at on hour whicli is, no doubt, known tosailors by the strikingof acertain numberof bells, but which is better known topassengers by the more familiar sound ofthe bell wliich rings for breakfast—asummons which, I am sorry to say, fbrreasons which were audible enough butarenot describuble, the inmates of somethe state-rooms, despite the fineness ofthe weather, did not on this occasion im-plicitly obey. Steaming in towardsthe port entrance, the Alhambrawas boarded off Starling Point bythe Harbor Master, Captain Thomson,and from him we learnt of thelatest disaster to the Win. Mi-kin—howsbe bad got ashore near where the rem-nants of the ill-fated Scotia are still vi-sible, and bow sbe now lay where, in fact,sbe was distinguishable from tlie steamer'sdeck, alongside Bluff Jetty, technically"abandoned." There* were to be seen, atother points along the beach, mementoesofthe a disastrous chances" experiencedat tbe Bluff by those who go down to thesea in ships; and the only indication of lifeand work about the port, was'the pre-sence of the ship Lansdowne, loadingwool; but, under a bright morning sun,the place presented a picture of unusualfairness, with little of the inhospitablecharacter whicb, perhaps too readily, hasbeen attached to its name. One noveltyof tbe neighborhood is the Dog IslandLighthouse, now nearly completed—likeall other lighthouses by daylight, a"somewhat stupid - looking object, butone the practical utility of which asa landmark, either by day or night, it isnot easy to over-estimate. From thispoint to the West Cape is familiar ground,and it became the less interesting byStewart's Island concealing its scenicpeculiarities under muvky clouds. It wasanot until after passing the cathedral-likepile of the Solander,rounding the Cape,and skirting past many of the mightyentrances to tbe mysterious interior ofthesouth-west corner of the Island, that thereal terra incognita is reached—a line ofcoast with wbich it may advisedly be saidthere is as little accurate acquaintance asthere was, in ages' past, with the much-dreaded Ultima Thule of the Romans.There is a south-west set of tide downalong thia coast, and this, during the"night, somewhat aggravated a slightinaccuracy in keeping the vessel to hercourse, so that by Thursday morningwe were a little further offshore than was"calculated. Shortlyafterdaylight,however,"we were again sufficiently well inshore to

ss be able thoroughly to realise the propor-,. tions of the magnificent mountain rangesn which are intersected by Caswell,Bligh,~'■ and George'e Sound--, and which.extendnorthwards until, at Milford Sound, theyJ culminate in the grand peaksofPembroke

and Llawrenny, six and seven thousand11 feet high. To Capt. Stokes,in his survey" of this uncommon coast line—and to thec masters of all the small craft which thei present rush to Okitiki may happen to. employ—one immense advantage' is thef occttrrer.ee at intervalsof not more thans ten or fifteen miles, from West Cape to.„ Jackson's Bay, of some of the most splen-. did harbors in the world. By the shelter

thus afforded,time and leisure was givento Capt. Stokes to make his survey most

1 perfect, and, with the sheet chart befor-j----l liim, and the excellently compiled descrip-tions in the "New Zealand Pilot," any. mau, however uninitiated as anavigator,

may pick out the localities as ea-ily as hej nii_ht, when not returning from a baccha-

nalian supper, find hi-* own street door. It

' is this advantage which makes the survey1 of the portion of the coast to the north-

ward, which has now become valuable by. the discovery of gold, of less practicalservice to the coaster, although there issome doubt if r-uch a harbor as the coasterwould desire does exist in anything likesufficient proximity to the new diggings.

' Along the straight line of low beash, ex-, tending for 130 miles in front of thecotmtry now believed to be auriferous,

( tbere was not such adequate shelter forthe survey vessels; and there is at present

' a lack of information as to the depth of1 water and other characteristics of the bar

harbors which are only found. Here, tothe southward of Jackson's Bay, as thesteamer sped along, harbor after harborwas opened up, all of which are most ac-curately surveyed from the entrance tothe head of their waters. Up to MilfordSound they occur so frequently, and areso similar, though sufficiently distinguish-able, as to beget tbe fancy that themountain uiants must have beenfellows of the same independent spirit asthe distinrrui-hed representative of theClan MauTavish who had a boat of hisown at the Flood—each sterns to havegone in for a separate »rand entry to hismountain home. He of Milford SoundmuMt of course have been a giant amonggiants—its portals are supremely magnifi-cent, and, with Mount Cook still furtherto the northward, leave an almost indelibleimpression upon the mind of the spectatorPnsMng Milford Sound, the interior ofwhich, by common consent, beggars de-sr*ription,"we just catch a glimpse of thefirst anchorage, Anita Bay, immediatelyinside a comparatively low spit of land onits southern shore.. This, I believe, hasbeen so called from the visit, many yearsago, ofa vessel of such name, under com-nian*. of Capt. MKay, a friend of ourworthy commander, who had in early days3|icnt some seasons on the coast in searchof the much coveted green-stone. It isstated to have been an axiom of his torely, in these visits, upon the natural re-sources of the coast fur the supply of hisship's company, and the fact that he wasable to do so, is a circumstance whichought to afford some encouragement tothose who will, no doubt, now be impelledto prosecute the search for gold tn thesouthward of the locality in which it is atpresent practically asserted to exist. lieis a gentleman who, by the way, is worthyof further mention as one of the earliestncclimatisers in this part of New Zealand.During a call at the Solander he is said tohave placed some wood hens on tlie island,and when Capt. M'Lean anchored theAl-dinga there about two -yew/, ago, the suc-cess of the experimcr-it w-is determined bynumbers of that description of fowl beingseen by those who landed in the steamer'sboats.

To the: northward of Milford Sound, asto the foufhw'trd—in fact, almost fromReso'--Mon Island to Cape Farewell—thereis revealed, by such a coasting trip as thisin the Alhambra, one characteristic of thecoast which is completely at variance withthe popular notion as to the dangers ofWest Coast nriviiration It; has been gene-rally well understood that the deep inden-tations of the coa«t are the result, not ofthe work of the Storm King, but ofDame 'Nature, in heroriginal upheavalofthispor-tion of the earth's crust. The Sounds of :the West Coast, it was correctly speculated,were not the uvocs" and tbe "goes" of <the Scandinavian, but the "fiords" ofsuch ia country as Norway, literallynatural val- "leys opening into the sea. There werefew Ion board the Alhambra, however, who <were prepared to find how little the sea, ]with the aid of wind and storm alleged to '"prevail so much on thiscoast, had donetoadd -to the prime work of nature by carving iinto fantastic forms the actual seaboard. 1There were certainly "rocks that rose in iEriddy grandeur," and all the rest of it, but ithey were among apparent seas near the 'cloud-cappedbill-tops. The bases ofthese Ihills sloped at various angles into the factual waters without almost any defacing, 1and the bush was growing down to the <water's edge, except where interceptedby (a strip of sandy beach—so obviously dif- iferentfrom such an analogous coast as that ]ofthe West ofScotland as to leaveno doubt <that, here, the prevailing sto«*mwinds do Inot blow home, but. run parallel with the lcoast, leaving only the play of tbe waters 1radiating from the storm-driven track to 1break itself upon the shores. This is an 1important consideration, and becomes the imore so when taken into account with re- ]gard to the line ofcoast still furthernorth, ]where the discovery of gold and ;almost certain settlement make shelter 1so much more a desideratum. In fact, :from Resolution Island to Milford Sound, 'the coast, in the words of Captain M'Lean, "cannotbe described as at all an iron-bound sone, sandy beaches prevailing in many \parts, aud verdure growing close to the 'water's edge; and along the part of the *country to which we had yet to come— ifrom Cape Cascade to the Grey, a distance tof 155 miles—the chief, if not the sole ]characteristicof the shore is asandy beach, t

Seen from tbe northward, tbe snow-cap- *ped mountains surrounding Milford Sound <assumemorepicturesqueforms;thevalleys <and indentations in the heights are more Igrotesque; and several deep crevasses, :between bare scalps indicating extensive *glacial action, come into view. Timber to lthe water's edge becomes a more promi- I

- nent feature,and this continues lo thes three well-defined bays iato the most, northerly ef which flaws the Awarua,i visited by Dr. Hector. In, lookingr 7 at these bays, and the really finei-. piece of tenitory which extends far1 inwards from their shore**,but especiallyr from that of the Awarua, there seems; much reason to regret that so little prac-i tical usehas asyet been mide oi Dr Hector's» exploration, by tbe encouragement of: settlement in this cistrict The greati difficulty in connection with these Okitiki1 diggings is the procuring.of a good harbor.

In the event of the gold country trending

' southwards, these bays, next to Jackson'sBay, must become of eminent service, as; beingreally the only available shelter to

" be found north of the grand cove of Mil-ford. By an examination of its points,that into which the Awarua flows appearsto have three-and-a-halfmiles of an open-ing, and to afford safe shelter fromN.N.W. and W. S W. win-Is, havingprotruding po'n'.s and reefs But theshelter is only part of the meritsof the locality—a flat country prevail-ing for some distance up, interruptedonly by a few separate hills or hummocks,comparative pigmies beside the moun-tains standing to north andsouth. To thenorthward of the Awarua, particularly,tbere is an extensive* plateau showing areefat its extremity, upon rounding whichwe obtain the first glimpse of CascadePoint. To the southward of thi* point,which was at once recognisable by thethree tiny streamlets which sought theirway over its steep front into the sea,there is astretch of flat and bare country,tho exact vegetable product of which itwas somewhat difficult to distinguish, butwhich seemed to possess some grass, thoughgenerally stoney, and not approachable forsheepfrom thebeach without a track beingcut through the bush. Country of thischaracter extends over a considerableplateau, until interrupted by a range ofhills terminating in Jackson's Point. Thebay to thenorthward ofthispoint ofthesamename has been a common resort of whalers,and there are said to he *-orne nativesashore, though of settlement or habitationof any kind we could discover no trace.To satisfy himself as to the character ofthe shelter it affords, Captain Al'Leanmade a sweep in along the bay, im-mediately upon leaving wliich weencounter—and it is an encounter for the semeofsight—one of the most magnificent viewso( the entire sail. Few of us on boardhaving "done" the European Alps, therewas none pretentious enuui/h to institutevery learned comparisons between themand these, the true Southern Alps, wliichweTe now in sight, but there wn a gooddeal of honest and undisguised muteastonishment. Later, we were at a pointwithin not more than twenty miles of themighty Mount Cook, with its peakedsummits, 14,000 feet high, and I have a'.conviction that although we madethe acquaintance of the distinguishedstranger under the silverybeams ofayoung .moon, he must be a tremendous source of'.terror and awe, and an excellent basis ■from which to ascertain one's own mdi- ■vidual insignificance, when ceen through ,some of Mr Saxby's worst meteorological ,accompaniments.

Next morning, away from this terrible jpresence, and steaming along something ,like the level shores of Port Philip, we 'sighted Okitiki, and were glal. At sea, :during two days of smooth steaming andwith a temperature observably mild and "warm, we had seen nothing, save at nighta light from a small vessel in-shore, sub- .sequently ascertained to be the Elizabeth ,Curie,and during the day some albatrosses ■ofdimensions in keeping with theSouthern ,Alps. 'I suppose that, in the next chapter, weshall get ashore at Okitiki,and as near thediggings aswas desirable to proceed, whichwas certainly not very far. *RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

Wednesday, Ai'aii. stu.(Before A. C. Strode,Esq., R.M.)

DitUNKBNSEss. — Henry Morton wascharged with having been drunk while incharge of a horse and car in Manse street*;He was fined 303 or three days' imprison-ment.

Burglary. — Frederick Noble wascharged with bursrlariously entering thedwelling house of John 13res, in a right-of-wayoffMaclaggan street,at midnight onthe 4th instant, and stealing therefrom twocoats and one hat, of the value of 10s, theproperty of John Bates.—John Bates: Iam a bricklayer livingin a right-of-way offMaclaggan street. I went to bed lastnight about ten o'clock. The door waslocked and the window was closed. A fewminutes before midnight I was awoke by arustling noise in the sifting room. Mywifecalled out and all was quiet again. Infive minutes I heard another noise, andshortly afterwards I saw r* light struck,the door opened, and a man run out at thedoor. I opened the bedroom window andcalled out "stop thief," as I saw a manrunning down the right-of-way towardsMaclaggan street. I went as quick as Icould and followed him, but before I gotto Maclaggan street a man brought thenrisoner back, and I then saw that he hadtwo old jackets,and an obi hat belongingto me in his hands. Bef ire going to bedlast night Ihung these two jacketsonanail,and the hat over them, in the room whereI afterwards heard the noise.. I saw theprisoner first immediately after daylightyesterday morning. He walked into thehouse very slowly and quietly, and whenasked by my wife what he wanted, he said," Ibeg pardon : I have made a mistake."I value the goods produced at 10s.—Con-stable Keiller: About ten minutes pasttwelve o'clock this morning the prisonerwas given into my custody by the lastwitness, Bates, on a charge of stealing theclothes produced. I took him to thestation, and he said something abouthaving gone there for a lark.—The pri-soner having been warned in the usualway, said he admitted taking the coats, butdid not intend to steal them. Tbe doorof the house was wide open, and he tookthe coats for the purpose bf lying down inan empty house close by.— fhe prisonerwas then committed to takehis trial beforethe next Criminal Sessions of the SupremeCourt.

THE POST OFFICE KoßßEmr,

CharlesPearson Fox surrendered to hisbail, to answer the charge of feloniouslybreaking into the Post-office,Dunedin,between 9 p.m. on the 18th and 9 a.m. onthe 20th December, 1864, and stealingtherefromL440 ofthe monies of the Post-master-Genenl.

Mr Henry Howorth appeared to prose-cute for the Crown, and Mr Prendergastappearedfor the prisoner.

Mr Howorth asked leave to amend theinformation. The prisoner was chargedwith breaking into the Post-office, but thefacts which he would be able to prove ledhim to think that tbe probabilities werethat the prisoner had broken out of thePost-office. He wished to amend the in-formation in this respect.

Mr Prendergastassented to this amendment.

The information, as amended, was thenread overto theprisoner. He was chargedwith secreting himsdf in the Post-office,stealing L440, and afterwardsbreaking outofthe building.

Mr Howorth, in opening the case, statedat great length the facts which he hopedto be able to prove against the prisoner.

The followiog evidence was. taken :—Robert Dow: I am messenger at the

Post Office, Dunedin, and live in part ofthe building. I recollect the morning ofthe 19th December. I went to the officeat eight o'clock that morning. I wentthrough the lower room and upstairs. Ientered Mr Biss's room, and found tbeouter dior, which leads to the back, fas-tened with a piece of blotting paper.Tbere is a flight ofsteps from the doorleading tothe Governmentyard,and thereis also a path to a gate wheh opens intoPrinces street. The outer door wasjammed, a piece of blotting paper beingfixed between the door and the lintel. Isaw the box of the door hanging on thedoorpost; the top screw had been takenout, and the box or hasp was broken as itis now, lying on the table. I saw a screwon the corner of Mr Biss's table ; and ascrew driver lying at tbe foot of the table.I then went to the staircase doorand calledupMr Stevenson. He came and went intoMr Biss's room, and Ipointed out what Ihad observed. We went out of the roomand towards the safe, which stood aboutGft from Mr Biss's door. The postmaster'sroom adjoins Mr Biss's, and thedoor of that room is between MrBiss's door and the safe, which isclose to Mr Barr's door. We foundone of the doors of the safe about ._ inopen. There was a tableopposite the safe,and on it we found the three cash boxesnow produced. I did not try the whitetin box to see whether or not it was un-locked ; but the rip or tear in the top wascertainly there at this time. Iwas sentbyMr Stevenson to fetch Mr Biss. BeyondMr Barr's room there is a small roomused as a washing-room; an 1 there is awindow in it from which there is a fullviewofPrinces street. 1recollect shuttingand locking the door of thai room on thenight of Saturday, the 17th Decem-ber. On the Monday morning, Ifound it standine- open, tiie key being onthe outside, as I left it. In Jetty streetthere are two doors to the porch to theoffice,and they were locked with separatekeys. It is ray duty to lock those doors,and to hang the keys in Mr Kay's office,which adjoins the porch. Irecollect lock-ing those at nine o'clock on this Saturdaynight, and hanging up the keys as usual.They were banging tliere at nine o'clockon the Monday morning. I rememberthat during Sc-ptember Mr Biss asked meto starch for a bunch of keys. It wouldbe about one o'clock in the forenoon. Isearched diligently all through the officeon that day, and on the following day Isearched again. I did notfind the keys.

By Mr Prendergast: I live on theJettystreet side of the building; and tbereis a door by which I can go into the office.I have three rooms in a building adjoiningthe office; and the door I refer to opensinto the receiving room, whence there isaccess to all parts. It is my duty to fastenthe two outer doors in the porch, notothers. Yes, Hock a lit'le gate leading toPrinces street also. I keep the key of it.I locked this gateabout twelve o'clock onthis Saturday night, lt is usually the lastplace fastened, after I have gone over thebuilding to see that all is sale. I did thaton this night. There is a door from thispassage into the receiving room, and Iwent that way to my house. Mr Barrlocks his own doorand keeps the key, andso does Mr Biss. Either of tbem can getinto the place whenhe likes. I haveknownMr Biss come in at night, but veryseldom. The key of thereceiving room isleft in the lock after I have turned it. Aclerk comes to the office early everyMonday morning — sometimes at three,sometimes at four; and they all comeearly, if the English mail arrives duringthe night. Mr Cecil Biss had to come onMonday tbe 19th December. I don'tknow wh-it time he came; he got akey on the Saturday night, and camethrough my house. He bad to comethrough my front door and through oneofmy rooms, andon this morning I saw himpass, while I was in bed in the other room.1have two keys of my front door for thispurpose; and any clerk who comes atnight comes the way Ibave described. Isaw Mr C. Biss go out again on this Mon-day morning ; he did not stop more thanan hour. He gave me up the key whenhe returned to duty, as is the practice ;but I don't remember whether he was thenon the morning or aiternoon staff. Igotup at half-past four o'clock that morning,after givingout the mails, and then I wentto bed again. I did not sleep at all, I'msure of that; and I got up againat sixo'clock. I didnot go into the office againuntil after Mr Stevenson came at eighto'clock. I went on with sweeping theplace, and when I found what had hap-pened, I called Mr Stevenson. On theSunday morning, MrStevenson and threeof the clerks came to the office about nineo'clock, to get off the English mail. Ilocked the door behind them when theyleft,as soon as Ireturned from despatchingthe mail; that would be about one o'clock.Mr Schrader was iathe office that day;he was the mail agent. I don't knowwhether MrJagowas also there. I didnot,when the clerks left, go round to see thatallwaa safe. I went out at two o'clock,

returned atsix, and remained home all theevening. My wife waa at home while Iwas out.

Re-examined : Mr C. Biss and MrStevenson are the Superintendents of themail room. When the office is closed, Ihave no communication, except with thereceiving rooms. Soon after the keyß weremissed, therewas a search for them in thecloset, which was emptied. They werenot found,f o far as Iknow.

Alexander Stevenson : I am clerk in themail departmentat the Post Offi.-e. I leltabout twelve o'clock on" tbe night oSaturday, the 17th December, at whichtime Mr Cecil Biss was still tbere. I re-turned to theoffice on Sunday morning,at 9.15, and entered from Jetty street,either through the large door, or MrDow's room. Mr Cecil Biss, Mr Brown,and Mr M'Donaugh, were working in themail room when Ientered. That room isentered through the receiving room andthe newspaper room. Mr Schrader wasthere during the forenoon, but I cannotremember that Mr Jago was. I did notgo into the upper part of the building thatday, nor did Isee anyone else do so; butI work with my back to thedoors, so that anyone might goup without my observing them. I leftthe office about twelve o'clock on this Sun-day morning, leaving Mr Cecil Biss there.I saw the prisoner that day. Mr Warbur-ton,whois also aclerk,and theprisoner,cameto my lodgings, by appointment, betweensix and seven o'clock, and we w_nt toVauxhall and bathed. Air Grey, anotherclerk, accompanied us. We returned to-gether between eight and nine o'clock;and went together as far as Clark street,where I went on in front, because of hav-ing to get back to the office to assist indespatching the English Mail. On theMonday morning, at a few minutes pasteight, I was called by Dow and went up toBiss's room. [The witness described whathe saw, the effect of the evidence beingthe same as that given by Dow.] I sentDow offforMr Biss, and one of the mail-clerks for Mr Barr; and I stood at thestaircase, to prevent any one going upuntil Mr Barr arrived. He, with Biss andMr Pagan, arrived shortly afterwards. Isubsequently saw achain lying on abag, atalittle distance from the safe.

By Mr Prendergast: I did not seecither of these cash boxes from the Sun-day until last night. I don't know thatthere was a cash box lying about the officeup to the llth ult. I believe that theprisoner was assistant upstairs, to MrPagan, in the money order department.Mr Warburton bad the registration duties,and Mr Grubb the stamps. I haveknownthe prisoner come and help in the maildepartment; but I never knew of a mailclerk going to help upstair;*.

Re-examined : I remember an inquirybeing made for keys missed by Mr Biss. Ihad seen them previously, but I have notseen them since.

The examination was adjourned until:o-day.

The Magistrate said that he wouldaccept bail, and lie would consider whetherhe would accept the previous amounts, orrequire larger ones.

NEW SOUTH WALKS.The Herald of the 22nd has leading

articles upon Mr Fitzgerald's letter to MrAdderley and on the Okitiki rush. Inthe latter it congratulates New Zealand onhaving monopolised so much of the recentgold discoveries, and thus secured a largeaccession of population.

The Attorney-General has declined toprosecute Mr Holt, late ML C, who waslately committed for trial on a charge ofimpersonation at elections.

Mr W. Elyard, Principal Under-Secre-tary, has died.

The following are the latest btishrang- iing items:—"Orange, 20th March.— IThree fresh bushrangers have made their |appearance here; one of them is thebrother of Burke. This party stole therace-horse, the property of Mr Burton, atBlaney." The Empire of the 21st says:—" It wasreported in the city yesterday thattelegrams had been received by the policeauthorities with particulars of an encoun-ter between the police and the bush-rargers, at Cunningham's Plains, nearMurrumburrah. Three policemen weresaid to have come upon Hall, Gilbert, andDunn, when they were dismounted, and tohave fired upon them, when the bush-rangers made off down a gulley, and gotclear away—Gilbert, however, being sup-posed to have been wounded."

SOUTH AUSTRALIA.The Ministry had resigned, and Mr

Reynolds attempted to forma government,but that gentleman having failed, MrDutton was sent for.

tide, as we did not expect to go in thati day; at about half-past 10 sailed up the. river, expecting to find everything quiet as, usual. Just before arriving at my jetty,, was rather surprised to see such a number

" of natives assembled on the bank of tbet river. My brother (Mr Samuel Levy),

who had charge of the store, directly hei saw the two revd. gentlemen on board,

was quite aghast at their coming at thei very worst of time, the natives having

registered an oath the day before to killevery minister or soldier they came across;he (MrS. Levy) immediately called out toputon thehatches, and take therevd. gentle-men below,as the nativeswere all anxioustotret at them, some baying ropes in their; hands ready to bind them. Mr S. Levyand Tewai, the native interpreter, im-mediately came on board and informed usofthe intentions and doingsof the natives.They then had an interview with the rev.gentlemen, and told them of their perilousposition, and advised themstrongly to maketheir escape ifpossible, which was arrangedwith Mr Volkner and ourselves to takeplace that nhiht, if they were left on board,Tewai offering to provide horses, and my-self to take them to a certain point up theriver. The natives were swenring ven-gence, and told us all of their intention ofputting both the rev. gentlemen to death.I went on shore amongst tho?e n-itivestbat took an interest in myself, and foundit was all too true what we had heard. Ithen went on board and told the rev.gentlemen thatescape was the only chanceof their lives. However, they were leftonboard forsome three or Jour hours, tookour dinners comfortably, and began to havehopes, by the time we had gained, thatthe vengeance of the natives wouldgradually subside, when, to our surprise,all hands were ordered to come on shore,myself nnd crew included. Upon ourstepping noon the bank of the river, twoor three ofthe natives rushed with ropesto tie up Mr Volkner, myself interferingand pushing the natives on one side, afterwhich they were not molested, but takento a whare, close alongside. Myself andbrother being told by them, that as wewere Jews, and they were all of the samereligion, we were not wanted, and not tofrighten ourselves at whatever they mightdo, as our property and ourselves wereperfectly safe, and would not be molestedby them. The crew were locked up withthe rev. gentlemen, and a strong guard ofsome twenty natives, with double-barrelledguns, to watch them. The na'ives thenwent on board the schooner, to securethe rev. gentlemen's property, butthat being mixed with the cargo, andthej' not knowing the difference, broughttlie "whole of the cargo ashore to my store,locking tbe door, and giving the key ti> mybrother, until after the trial of the minis-ter's, when we were to pick out our goods.Myself andbrother were ashore the wholetime, endeavouring to appease the ven-geance of the natives against the clergy-men. We then went to see the 'Parana*ichiefs, who were the chief instigators ofthe whole of the mischief,and on the ac-count of our being Jews, were soon madethe best offriends. Mr Volkner gave mybrother his money to keep for him, someLlfi 195., as he saw there was great danger, iThursday, Mirch 2nd.—About8 o'clock ithe rev. gentlemen being still locked up aswell as the crew, with a strong jjuarel over !them still, a message was sent to """e by ithem that the Rev. Mr Volkner wished to ispeak to me. I was immediately warned iby the natives not to have any communi- 1cation with them. Isecretly sent word to 'him that if he would walk outside the 1whare I would follow close to him and <hear what hehadto say. Saw the Tarauaki ichiefs, and got leave from them all to walk ]about outside the whare for a short time. <About 9 o'clock saw the rev. gentlemen 'walkingoutside, immediately walked up to *them, when they told us that in their <opinion all that the natives wanted was <plunder, and if that was the case to give <up everything, vessel and all to them, to isave bloodshed, as they then knew, they 'were both to die. Immediatelywent witb <Dr. Agassis: (who is a trader there) to the tTaranaki chiefs,and offered them every- 1thing in thestores; the vessel, the cattle 'we bad on the plains, and everything we <possessed, was offeredfor the lives of the 'two ministers, and was accepted by them, <and as an earnest of the bargain, one of <the chiefs at once asked me formycoat and 'vest which I had on, and watch and chain, twhich I gave him, and he put them on 1his own back. The two chiefs then went 'and saw the rev. gentlemen, and told them 'it was all right, and they would be allowed ito go back to Auckland with me—they "(the chiefs) at the same time begging isome shirts and other small things ifrom tbem. It was after this con- cversation that poor Mr Volkner cbegan to put a little confidence in them, sand sent for my brother to givehim hismoney back again, as he thought now all cwould be right, my brother immediately igoing and digging it upfrom where he bad rburied it, and returned it to bim. Myself iand brother then went amongst the *natives,but there was a great deal too rmuch whispering going on amongst tbem, 6foreverything to be right, and on our en- 1quiring of several friendly natives, we rwere told that some men hadbeen sent for ctheir guns to shoot the ministers; a ring r.was to be formed,and the two placed in «ithe middle, and everyman as he passed a vcertain mark was to fire at them : there (were about 200 guns among the shooting aparty; but when theyheard that the goods rand vessel had all been given up to them, 1it altered their plans altogether. Shortly tafter the shooting party were 'seen Icoming along, when there was tre- (mendous shouting and yelling from Ieverymouth. Excitement was nowat its :\height. Isawaparty, principally half-castes,igoing to the whare where the prisoners iwereconfined,and deemedit advisable to t

walk a short distanceout ofthe way. The*party then went to the whare, and askedtfor Mr Volkner, who immediatelyran ootquite pleased,withoutbis hat, and thinkingall was right, cheerfully returned to get it,as the nativesbad told hira theywere goinff-to take him to a meeting: but, alas forhinvitwas the meeting of death, astheywalked him off at once. Tbey then toldhim that they were going to kill him. Hestopped near the church, and asked thero.to allow him five minutes forprayer, which,they did, and he sent one of thenativesfor his prayer book. Whilst he was pray-ing, fhey sent and took a block and stropfrom the vessel, which they made fastto the topmost branches of a largewi'low tree, about 200 yards frorathe church. There were now about 800natives on the ground, whoat once marchedhim under the tree. They then took offhis coat, vest,and shirt, wliich the principalchief puton, he being quire pleased withthe watch and chain. (This man wavKereopa, a Maketu chief, who was travel-ling with the Taranakis, and was the causeof all this doing.) They left his flannelon, he not showing the slightest fesrthroughout the whole of the proceedings.The poor fellow commenced shaking handswith many of them, while they were tyingbin neckbandktrcbitf over his eyes; andhe had hold of some oftheir hands, whilsttbey were hauling him to the fatal branch.They never tied either his hands or hi.feet, but left bim to dangle in the air fornearly an hour, during whith time someofthe natives were hauling at his legs to getoffhis boots and trowsers, sharing whatwas in his pockets, whilst be hung overtbeir heads, and one of the brutesput on his trowsers wbile hehung over him. After letting the

body hang for some time they loweredit down and carried it to the side of thechurch, where they had a place fenced in,and spread the body out in the form of a.cross (the poor fellow wa« not then dead,as symptoms of life were still observable.)They then proceeded to cut offtbe head,cutting the flesh carefully round the chestand back, and then chopped offthe neckwith an old axe. They then formed them-f-elvcs into a line to drink his blood as itran out of the head and body, and therewas a frightful scramble amongst thewomen, as to who should have the'most ofhis blood; what blood dropped to theground tbey painted their faces with, thechief Kereopa taking the eyesout of hisbend with his fingers arid eating them be-fore the whole crowd to show them theexample. The body was then levelled ofthe flesh round the neck, by means of ""»large knife, anil thrown to the dogs. Therebeing a -.'rent number ofdogs aroundat thetime, a fight ensued amongst them, whentlie natives threw the Indy to them and leftit for some time, wht-n some of the nativestook the body away and put it down awatcrcloset, wbich was close alongside(the natives telling me in the eveningthat they had buried it all right). Sonicshort time after all this had occurred, mybrother and myself were walking in thefern some distance off, when fournatives,with double barrelled guns, came to us,ancl told us we were- wanted. We im-mediately followed tbem, and we weretaken to an European house, namedWilliam Hooper (who bas been livingamongst the natives for seventeen years),when to our surprise we saw the whole ofthe Ktiropeans, nine in number, in thehouse* with their hands tied behind theirbacks, the Rev. Mr Grace being amongstthem. My brother unci myself wereserved the same way. when all our pocketswere rifled, ancl everything taken away.All hands thought that the time was comefbr them to die. We (my brother andmyself) bad not remained long in thatpo-ition when we heard a terriblerow outside, caused by the Taranakisbearing that the Jews were tiedup. A. Taranaki chief rushed in and cantus all loose, we were then allowed to goout, and were told that we were all at per-fect liberty, with the exception of MrGrace,who we left in the house, and wethen walked about the villnge with perfectdread and fear. Whilst we were tied thenatives came and took everything frompoor Hooper(who was lying in bed in aconsumption), rolling him out of his bedon to the floor,in order to get his blankets,and did not even leave him a cup to drinkout of. At this time the Re*v Mr Gracedid not know that poor Volkner was mur-dered. In the evening a meeting was heldin tbe Catholic Church,which my brotherancl self attended, when the bleeding headof poor Volkner was placed on the pulpit,and remained there till all their brutalforms of yelling and dancing to itwas over, when it was taken to acopper-maori to be cleaned and dried.The natives marvelled greatly at thetears running out of poor Volkner'seyes, whilst they were cutting his headoff.The vessel being given up to the natives,they took all the sails, blankets, and every-thing they possessed,from her, and we allslept.in Hooper's house with Mr Grace.The church bells were ringing all night,and the infernal " Hopper," a kind ofwhistle, sounding everyhalf hour of thenight, to call the natives to different meet-ings. Most of the women remained in tliechurches, going through their new formaof religion all night. Myself and brotherslept at Tewai's house.

Friday, 3rdMarch.—Thefirst thingIsawon going to tbe gate ofthe yard this morn-ing waspoor Volkner's head over acoppcr-maori, which an old man kept smaothingdown the cheeks dayandnight to keep thewrinkles out. Tbe natives spent tbismorning in sharing tbe spoil. Therebeingsixteen tribes, it was divided into sixteenlots, each lot to be redivided amongst itsmen, they telling us all of our safetyexcept Mr Grace, whose fate wasnow to be reserved for the greatJew Patara to decide upon. A meetingwas held, at which, by the advice ofMrGrace,myself and brother and Tewaiattended, to endeavor to arrange for. aransom for Mr Grace. I first offeredLSOO,and then LIOOO, whicli was indig-nantly refused, they saying that not evenLSOOO, orany money, would ever get MrGrace out of their hands, and it-was theirfull intention to take him to Taranakiwith them as tbeir slave. T gave a greatmany presents to the Taranaki?, to en-deavor to gain our point, but all was ofnoaYaU, as they seemed to think that the

Minister and soldier*-* would have greateffectfor them in their journey. All tbeday was now spent in walking round tlieirpost, and going through their new formof religion, i applied to some of thechiefs to allow tbe Rev Mr Grace to walkabout, which was granted. The late RevMr Volkner's bead being dried, wa* stuckon the pulpit of the Catholic Church dayand night. I provided the whole of theprovisions for the European--.

March 4th.—This morning Kereopasentfor myselfand brolher, as be was going inthe bush, arid said he did not wish to leaveus without saying good bye. He assuredus of ourperfect safety, and told us tbatit was no u«e trying to get Grace off, as itwas tbeir full intention to take him toTaranaki with tbem. This evening 5o'clock the great chiefPatara came in withabout 6'o followers, on horseback, and thewhite prisoners on foot, caPrying theirswag. My brother, Tewai, and myself,immediately waited on him and told himof our bring tied up, which appeared tovex him very much, and as a recompenseto us, be ordered a crying match, or tangi,to the whole of tbe natives for interferingwith the J» ws. We then told him whathad been going on, and be told us to makeourselves quitecomfortable,and thatatt theyhad killed Volkner, ancl not fulfilled theransom, he would return the vessel, andwould call a inciting in the morning andenquire into the affair. We stopped chat-ting with him in hia bedroom, tillafter ten o'clock, Mr Grace asked ustbis day if be could come overwith u-*,vto which we cheerlully assented;we getting permission from the chiefs forit. Mr Grace slept with vi thia rrght,when we told him the conversation webadwith the great clref. lie asked us, if pos-sible, to get an interview for him, whichwe promised. During this afternoon mybrother, Tewai, and self went to see poorVolkner's grave, when we saw a greatnumber of do^s mking around the water-closet before named, and on looking in it,to our horror and surprise saw the body,feet up, without a shovel-full of dirt on it,the sent being broken, and the body merelythrown down the hole./ We at once wentand a*.ked permission'to bury the body,"which "was granted us, and we were goingto bury it e-irly next morning, when wewere told not to touch it, a*-* the nativeswould bury it thetn-'Clves. We saw themgo with spades and throw some dirt in it,and thinking it, was now buried restedquiet, as the natives begau to appearsuspicious. Volkcr's head still in thepulpit.

Sunday, March sth.—According to thedesire of the ltev. Mr Grace, I waited onthe great chief at aix o'clock, find aftertalking over several matters, asked him toallow the rev. gentlemanaair interview,when he could describe his own case, towhich he assented, and s;iid he would en-quire into the whole affair, and wishedme to tell the whole of the Europeans tomeet him in committee at 10 o'clock thatmorning i:t the late Rev. Mr Volkner'schurch. Accordingly till the Europeansattended, and were ea*;h provided withchairs, when the first c quiry wns ai tothe late Rev. Mr Volkner's death, whichwas not very satisfactory to them, thegreat chi f blaming the natives very muchlor hanging him without a fair trial.The next enquiry was the RevMr Grace's,- and a conclusion wascome to to ransom him; the run-*om wastint Ilori Tupaea and his party, who wereinthe hands ofthe Government, were tobe returned t*>them hy t**e refurn of theschooner Eclipse, and that on their arri-val by the Eclipse (no other vessel wouldhe allowed to enter the port but her) MrGrace would he sent to Auckland. A let-ter was to he written mxt day to the Go-vernment at a meeting to he held atOpotiki, and in the meantime Mr S- Levy,my brother, was to remain ns bondsmanfor the Rev. Mr Grace, till such time asthe vessel s-hould arrive with thenative chief and party on board.Under such conditions they would al-low the rev. gentleman to remain atOpotiki, but should my brother not be wil-ling to remain, Mr Grace should be forcedto go to Tauranga with them; to which mybrother dutifully a_''c«ttd. Patara thenwished me to bring my wife and familydown and settle amongst them, when hewould give me and my brother as muchland "as we required, and cattle to stock itwith, which J, ofcourse, promised. Therewere about 300 natives present. Themeeting then broke tip. Another one wasimmediately held privately, after whichthey nave up possession nf the Eclipse,and Patara gave orders that every manand woman in the place should give a kitofpotatoes each. The}* held a lame meet-ing this evening, when poor Volkner'shead was behind the chairman (Patara)the whole evening. This meetinir decidedfor the party to leave for Opotiki.properthe next morning. The English prisoner,John Brown, of the 57th Regiment, spentthe whole evening 'with us. Ife has beenwith the natives the last 18**months, andhe really made our blood run cold tellingus of the fearful sights he had seen andgone through. We arranged with himthat, should we he there on his return, wewould endeavor to find means for him toescape, lie told us there were two morecaptive soldiers travelling with the otherparty; one of their names was LouisBaker.

Monday, March Gth.—The party left forOpotiki proper this morning, a vi'lagesome eight miles distant, to hold anothermeeting, poor Brown carrying a heavyload on foot, when Patara ereatly desiredthat my brother sbould accompany them,which he did. On arrival there was a wardance, and the two human heads, one asoldier's and the other the Rev. <vfr Volk-ner's, were stuck upon a pole to dance to,some of tne nativrs actually putting thenoses of the heads between their teeth.Such scenescan never be imagined, and Icould fill a book with each day'sproceedings since the Taranakis havearrived. The letter to the Governmentwas written by Patara at this meeting forthe ransom of Mr Grace,and delivered tome to taketo the Government. There is ahalf-mad native who annoyed us verymuch during thenight and stealing every-thing by day.

Tuesday, March 7th.—Got all ready toleave with the letter, but was told not toleave for ten days; the reason given wasthat the party would arrive back fromTauranga a day or two after that time, andno attempt could be made to cutoff thatparty of natives on their return. Thenatives are still going on with their wor-ship dayandnight. Dr. Agassiz deliveredme a letter to-day thanking meon the part"of the Europeaninhabitantsfor themanner

in wbicb I had actedfor thewhole of themduring this perilousperiod.

Wednesday, March Sth —This morningI was perfectly horrified at tseeing the half-mad nativein thedrawers, boots, and socksin wbich the Rev. Mr Volkner suffered.I spoke to several of the natives about if,who at once made him pull tbem offforme. I found he had been to the water-closet, wher. the body was,and had takenthem from the body by that means.

I I found out that the body wa*- sti 1 un-bnried. I mustered courage and gavethenatives some things to deliver the body upto me and allow us to bury it, whi*-h wasgiven on the understanding that Mr Gracewas not to go up whilst we buried it.They at first refused to have it buriednear the church, but after- more presents,allowed me to bury it .where I liked. Mycrew and myself dug the grave, and thenproceeded to exhume the body (which istoo horrible to relate), which we put intosome newcarpeting, given to us by Tewai,and tied it round with flax; carried it toi's last resting place, burying the clothesin the same grave. We had tbe gravefenced in, andmv brother cut a head-boardwith aplain "V, March 2nd, 1865." Itis laid close to the back windows of thechurch.

Thursday, 9th March, to Tuesday, 14th.—(Missing.)Wednesday, 15th March —Our time for

being detained having expired, to the joyof nil the natives, we sailed down the river(all being anxious to see me again on myreturn). On arriving at tbe beads, wefound the wind wasfoul, and as we couldnot get out, we dropped anchor, put theboat out again, and rowed up to the villagewith Tewai, who was coming with me as apassenger. Found all the natives gonesome five miles in the country to conse-crate a large new pole which they hadraised for their new worship. Put thehorse in the cart, and went with Tewai,and S. Levy, out to the meeting, wheremyself and brother were shown ourground, which was marked out for us,1000 acres each. A large bullock waskilled anrl roasted. We had about OOlbsof beef given to us, to take on board theschooner. All the natives were quitepleased at my brother's intention ofstopping.

Thursday, IGth March.—About half-past six this morning, the native Heremata(who cut Volkner's head off) came to mewhen I was in bed, and told me that therewas a large steamer coming along thecoast close in shore. I immediatelygot on the top of the chimney ofTewai's house, and saw it was H.M.S.S.Eclipse. My brother and myself at oncegot into a canoe and paddled down theriver to where the schooner was. Wetook the schooner's boat and puiled outover the bar, and to the steamer, and de-livered the letter directed to the Govern-ment to Mr Rice ; gave tlie particularsofwhat had happened. I then saw his Lord-ship the Bishop of New Zealand and dipt.Freemantle, whoasked me where Mr Gracewas, and if f thought I could get him theslightest chance. They tben asked me ifI thought the steamer or boats could cuthim out, to which Ireplied, " No," as thenatives would have Mr Grace miles in thehush on the first appearance ofthe boatsin the river. His Lordship told me thatmoney wasof no cousequence in the matter.I then told him that Idid not think therewas the slightest chance of their evergetting Mr Grace alive again, as I knewthe full intentions of the natives I thentold them ofTewai and William King beingon siiore, and his lordship asked me if fwould go and bring them off,it not beingprudent to *-°nd the ship's boats on shore.

' *.t once got into my boat, aod left my1 itlier or, board (two of my men beingwith me), rowed to the beach, and couldnot see either Tewai or William Kingwhere I had left them. I then went tothe schooner, and John Moore and LouisMontague went up the river with me tosee if I could find them in the village.When I arrived offthe shore, I saw theRevMr Grace taking his usual walk upand down Tewai's yard, things lookingpretty quiet, the natives being at ameeting,about the steamer outside. On seeing therev. gentleman, so sad, and knowing thefate allotted to him, I immediately madeup my mind to risk my life as well as thosethat were with me, to save, if possible, therev. gentleman. I sent Louis Montague totell him if he would walk down to thepoint ofthe river I would takehim in; but,afterthinking, I saw thedangerof his walk-ing down, so I called him to jump into theboat at once, which he did. I had someserge shirts in the boat to cover him over.As he was in the act of getting in, thewomen missed him from the yard and ranto .he side of the river, and plainly sawhim trying to escape. Theyrushed to themeoting, which was directly in our road,at a large whare by the side of the river.We heard the stir in it, and thought it wasall up with us. It was now pull for ourlives, and we did pull, the Rev. Mr Gracelying at the bottom of the boat. SomeMaoris soon appearedon the banks of theriver, in the distance,with their rifles, buthaving the tide with us, we, thank God,managed to get out of theirreach, and atonce rowed the Rev. Mr Grace across thethe bar to the steamer. The parties onboard seeing nobody in the boat that wewent for cjuldnot make out what I wastelling them by singing out "He is allright;" and you may guess were all rathersurprised onseeing Mr Grace stand up aswe went alongside, and also what I hadrisked in bringing him off. I nowreceived congratulations from every-body, from his Lordship the Bishopof New Zealand down to thesmallest boy in the steamer. I now sawthe difficulty I had got into by rescuingthe reverend gentleman, as my schoonerwas still inside the heads, so I imme-diately applied to Captain Freemantle fora boat and crew to assist me in towingher out, which he kindly consented toby giviDg me two armed boats. As Iwas going ashore in my own boat I sawTewai standing at the heads, and atonce went and took him aboard, andfound he had been^ away to the meetingwith William King at the time. I wasashore looking for bim ; he was therewhen the news came of Mr Grace's es-cape ; theyimmediately thought he (Tewai)was implicated in his escape andproposed toshopt him, when he very quietly, unseenby them, slipped away into the bush, and

famed the place from which I took him.then went with him alongside the

schooner, where I found the steamer's,boats alongside. When I found thatHeremeta and two other natives had beenonboard, searching for Mr Grace,but not-finding him, they took away the canoe*

which was alongside, so that the men qnboardshould not escape (they, thenatives,having no idea of my intention of mytaking the schooner out), and they wentashore tocollect more forces, but luckilywe doubled them, and got over the barwith the schooner before there was anyappearance of any great force, the crew oftheman-of-war's boats'pulling like bricksto get her out. Towed the schooneralongside the Bteamer and anchored her.Tewai and myself then went on board theman-of-war, and remained there, mybrother goingbn board the schooner. Be-fore-hadarrived at thesteamer in themorn-ing his Lordship the Bishop had sent twoMaoris which he had brought up with himfrom Poverty Bay, to treat with tbenatives about Mr Grace,but they notcoming bajck again, towards four o'clockin the afternoon,Tewai volunteered to goashore and see after them, and also en-deavor to get bis wife tff at the fametime. Dark.—'No signs of Tewai return-ing, or the other natives. About teno'clock a cry was raised on board thatthey heard Tewai swimming off, andfancied they heard a number of nativesafter him. Capt Freemantle immediatelyhad his whale boat lowered and pickedhim up. I went with Cap'ain Freemantleto the surf, whereweremained some hourswitli our rifles, ready at a moment's notice,but got no tidings of any of them. I hadnot eaten anything for the last 36 hours,when Mr Hawkins and Mr Parker verykindly took me in their mess, for which Igratefully thanked them. Sent theschooner away during the night."

Friday, 17th March —His Lordship theBishop, veryanxious about the natives andthe white men ashore, was endeavoring togain some tidings of them in thecaptain'sgig. Saw a large number of natives onthe shore, when his Lordship and CaptainFreemantle, with Mr Rice, determined tohave a korero with them. They wereaway some hours. When they came onboard they were very glad to welcomebim back again, it being understood thatthe natives from Poverty Bay wouldwalk home from there. We hauled theboat up and got ready to go, when all atonce we saw somebody running along thebeach with a Union Ja<*k flying. CaptainFreemantle at once sent the whaleboatashore, and brought off the two Maoriswho were their ambassadors from tbeday before, and immediately steamedoff for Maketu and Auckland. Tewaitold us that the natives had ransacked andtaken everything in the stores, as soon asthey found I had taken Mr Grace away.We arrived in Auckland on Saturdaynight, passed the Curacoa,to whicb CaptainFreemantle communicated the news. Be-fore leaving with the schooner, I offeredall the Europeans a free passage to Auck-land*.

LETTER OF THANKS FROM THEREV. T. S. GRACE.

To tiii: Editor of tub Daily SouthernCross.

Sir—Will you allow me through themedium of yonrpaper to express my gra-titude and thanks to all those who haveshown so lively an interest in the safety ofmyselfand those who were with me. Itwas only yesterday I heard something ofthe very wide-spread sympathy that hasbeen manifested by the authorities andpuhlic of Auckland. I feel that anexpres-sion of thanks is only a poor return for allthat has been done; nevertheless, I trustit will be acceptable.

First, let me do honor to the ProvincialGovernnvnt. Nothing could have heenmore prompt, willing, and generous thanthe course they took. What shall I say?Without doubt I was a prisoner fbr theGospel's sake. I must refer them to thewords of my Mast.r:—" Whosoever shallgive a cup of cold water, &c, verily I siytbey shall n'jt lose their reward." Theydid much more than this, and their rewardwill be according to theii works.

Secondly, I feel very grateful to thevarious congregations ol the Church, andthose of the Dissenters, in and aroundAuckland, for their united and earnestprayer to Almighty God for our safety.During fifteen days of anxious suspense,made doubly bitter by daily persecution, Ifelt conscious thatI was supported by theprayers of others ; and while reading thosewords on the fifteenth day, " The fierce-ness of men shall turn to thy praise, andthe fierceness ofthem shalt thou refrain," Ifelt sure that it would be even so. Thefiat of Him who hears prayer had goneforth—" Hitherto sh lit thou come, and nofurther," &c. These fierce persecutors,before whom only the day before myescape I had reason to tremble lest, intheir excitement and frenz}', I should havebeen offered a sacrifice to their god, asthey consecrated a newly-erected post fortheir horrid worship, like threateningwaves, had been rolled back four miles upthe plain, so that at theverymoment theywere wanted on the spot to keep me se-cure, like thekeepers of Peter, they wereasleep, and tt a distance; and whileI wasable torejoice in the words I had read thedaybefore—"The proud are robbed; theyhave clapt their sleep, and all the menwhose hands were mighty have foundnothing"—they are gnashing their teethwith rage because I was gone.

The parallel between this and the deathof James, and the deliverance of Peter inanswer to the unceasing prayers of theChurch for him, is' so striking thatI can-not help referring to it. Inthis case, as inthat, " one has been taken, and the otherleft." Yes, the one most fitted has beentaken, while the most unworthy has beenleft. There was a moment on the morn-ing ofthe murder when we had a hopefrom human aid, but that failing, my dearbrother said, '*We mustL trust inGod." That trust never failed him,jand I rejoice in being able to

say that his la3t hours were peace.He was led awayfrom me unconsciousthatit was to death,and when made ac-quaintedwith the terrible fact, he meeklyknelt down, commended his spirit to hisSaviour,prayed for. his murderers, andwhile in the act of shaking hands withthem and forgiving them, he was hoistedup on the fataltree.

To me it seems impossible not to seethat God, in His inscrutable wisdom, hasallowed this, and thatwe shall yet see inNew Zealand,as elsewhere, that the bloodof tiie martyrs is theseed of the Church.On the otherhand, in answer to tbe prayerof God's people,I haveobtained my iibtrtyin away scarcely less miraculous than thatof Peter. All I can add is, that myfriendswho have so earnestly prayed forme have the blessing of him that wasready to perish.I have also further to acknowledge

the great kindness I received fromCaptain Freemantle and the officersand crew of H.M. s.s. Eclipse. Everykindness and sympathy that could beshown was shown, every thing that couldbe done was done. The perseverance ofCaptain Freemantle, the willingness ofevery officer and man on board so dis-interestedly to brave danger and death,whether for myself, the rescue of theschooner and her crew, or for the Tau-ranga natives detained on shore, were suchthat I will not attempt to do them justice.I shall ever look back to my rescue byH.M. s.s. Eclipse with peculiar pleasure,and heartily pray that God's blessing mayrest on the British navy, and on tbeEclipse and her gallant captain and crewin particular. |

There is yet another class of privatefriends and others too numerous, perhaps,for me to have an opportunity of sayingpersonally to whom I wish to pay a tributeof thanks. Tht sympathy and kindnessthey have shown tb the dear onesI hadleft amongst them, will ever be engravenon our hearts. I was indeed troubledwith fear for the consequences likely tohappen to them on hearing wbat had be-fallen me. With theblessing ofGod uponthe kindness and consolation thusafforded,they have been carried through a mostpainful period ofsuspense, and feci certainthat to thesekind friends the best rewardwill be to assure them, that Godhas beardtheir prayers and blessed their efforts;and will in His own good time rewardtbem " seven-fold unto their own bosom."

There is another still to whom a publicacknowledgment is due, but in this case Ifeel altogether unable to do justice, andwisdom says desist. Be it so, I will leavethe work of our very dear friend, theBishop of New Zealand, to speak for itself.

In conclusion, I can only say tbat Godhas blessed the unitedefforts of our friendsand made all things work for my safety,and, therefore, I ara here to-day to returnthem thanks and to give Him all the glory.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THEOPOTIKI MURDER.

(From the Southern Cross March23 )The following letter has been sent to us

for publication by Mr William WintersHooper, who, we are informed, has been asettler for the last sixteen years in OpotikiIt contains one important piece of intel-ligence, viz., the names of the actualmurderers of poor Mr Volkner. We pre-fer giving the letter in its present shape toaltering its grammatical construction :—

Dear Friends of Auckland—You willplease to excuse the liberty I take inwriting a small log of what happenedatOpotiki. After ray arriving there fromWakatane, on the 27th of February, twodays previous to the arrival ofthe schoonerEclipse, Capt. Morris Levy, which arrivedon Wednes lay, March 1, 1865, havingonboard as passengers the Rev. C. S. Yolk-ncr and the Rev. Mr. Grace, of Taupo;likewise three seafaring men, by the namesof John Moore, acting first mate, onemanby the name of Owen Jones, and one bythe name f i'John Thomas; also oneyoungman, a Je v, by the name of Lewis Mon-tague. >.'ow, dear friends, as soon as thevessel arr- ed at the landing-place, whereCaptain li orris Levy had a brother re-siding t!..*re trading, the Pai Mairirenatives, together with the natives ofOpo-tiki, immediately seized the schooner, andlikewise the whole ofthe property that wason board, consisting of biscuit, flour,rice,and sugar, and some other goods. Theythen immediately took charge of theirprisoners, six in number—the Rev. MrVolkner, and the Rev. Mr Grace, threeseamen, and Lewis Montague. These sixpersons were kept from the vessel to anativehouse, and there takenprisoners, that firstday of March, and that first night.Now, dear friends, during this firstnight of their imprisonment thePai Marire natives and the Opo-tiki natives made out their intention ofwhat was to be carried out the next day,Thursday, March -2. Now, dear friend*^, jwe must look to what happenedon thisdreadful day, the 2nd March. In thefirstpart of the morning all the nativesmustered together at thechapel, and wentthrough the.r pretending prayersin thereligion of Canaan. It was" some timegetting towards noon, when about thirtynatives, armed with guns, went into thehouse of the prisoners, and requested theRev. Mr Volkner to come out, .13 theywished to talk with him, to which hereadily agreed. They then led him untothe church, and there told him his fate,without proffering to him the leasttrial whatever. In this state ofaffairs, what could he do, poorman ? He must submit to thetreachery of that savage race of Maoris.So they then led hitn from the church tohis place ofexecution, about forty or fiftyyards from the end ofmy house, where Iwas in a great state of illness at the time,spitting and vomiting blood, sometimes ingreat profusion. As he arrived under thewillow tree the rope was placed on hisneck by a great scamp by the name ofPokanoa Te Awanui. My father-in-law,a native by the name offtopiha Te Ha-rare, said to me, " William, do younot gooutside at this present time, for fearyoushonld catch sight of what is going on atthe willow tree atPanapa's place." I saidto him (my father-in-law), " what is thematter?" He immediately told me thatthey were hanging Mr Volkner up to thetree. He had scarcely'spoken these wordswhen who should come running into thehousebut this lad Panapa, for the expresspurpose of seeing what time it wa3 by myclock, as they all had agreedupon two'fio'clock as the specified time for pulling,him up into thetree. As soon as the hour.

- hand arrived at the two the said Panapa,> ran out into my garden and gave the fatal■ signal. Nowy friends,what must have

' been my feelings just at that moment?[ He was hoisted up into thetree more like"- a dog than a human being, amidst shouts1 and laughter most horrible to describe,especially from the female sex, who

were far stronger in voice than themen. The chief men who were atthis murder are those named—PokanoateAwanui,of theNgatirua tribe; HeremitaKau Paia, belonging to Maketu (this istbe native who cut the Rev Mr Volkner'shead off), Volhura, belonging to theNagatira tribe: likewise Kereopa, one,ofthe Pai Marire natives, belonging toMaketu—thesefour men the chief ones—the head chief at the time being absent.He was further down the coast. On hisreturn he found the fatal deed was over.After hanging for the space of an hourand a half by my clock, the body wastaken down and carried away to the placewhere his head was cut off. [The writerhere details what was donewith the body;tbe head was given to an old Maori topreserve, so that the Pai Marires couldcarry it with one theyhad alreadybroughtwith them. The particulars, which arethe same as already given, are too revolt-ing forrepeated publication.—Ed. D.S.C.IBetween the hours of three and fourthey went and fetched the remainingfive prisoners, and brought them tomy house. As soon as thefivewere insideofthe house, the rebels of Opotiki imme-diately tied their hands behind their backs,and thedoctor was sent for and served thesame; then they sent out some natives insearch ot Morris Levy and his brotherSamuel Levy, who, it appeared to me, hadgone outof the way in great fear. How -ever, the natives soon found them, andfetched them in, and tied them up, the jsame as the rest. They then took all theknives from the whole ofthe party. Cer-tainly, at the time it was rather difficult toknow what was going to be done with themall. This did not last long—only aboutan hour, when one of the Pai MarireMaoris came running into the house as ifexasperated at the Opotiki natives fortying their friends,the Jews. Now hewent to work and untied the whole, and setall free. Assoonasall cleared away, theOpo-tiki natives rushed in and plundered myhouseofeverything thatwas inside. They didnot as much as leave me a pot to cook in,ora plate toeat out of. Now, dear friends,I must return to Mr Morris Levy. Hisreport to the inhabitants of Auckland isthat he agreed to give up the whole of hisproperty, and also the schooner; but Imyself, or any of the seamen on board,cannot fee thataccount tobe correct, when,in the first place, the schooner and pro-perty were seized and taken awayby thenatives. Now afterthat the natives agreedto give him, the said Captain Morris Levy,potatoes, to pay for the property they hadtaken*ofwhich myself and the three sea-men, and likewise Lewis Montague, arewell aware; for instance, the seaman hadtbejobofshipping these potatoes on board.Now, secondly, here is one particular thingtbat I have to speak of, and that I wishall parties to well understand themeaning oi. Times and often this saidMorris Levy has said to me that he wassure himselfand his brother were all right,because they were Jews. Now here is onemore particular affair I have got to men-tion—thatis, about a prayer-book of theHebrew language. Just before the depar-ture ofthis wicked mob of natives fromOpotiki, he, the said Morris Levy, madethis book a present to the head man of thePai Marire tribe, by the name of Butleror Patera, telling him at the same timethat the prayer-book would be of muchuse to tbem, as they were travelling to in-troduce the religion of Canaan, to all theparties of natives on the coast of NewZealand.—Yours, &c,

William Winters Hooveb,Owen Jones.John Thomas.

THE ELECTION FOR BRUCE.{To the Editor oj the Daily Times.)

Sin—ln your report ofthe proceedingsof the nomination of candidates for theBruce election, your correspondent hasnot given a correct report of what I said.I am not undecided with regard to Separa-tion. The views expressedin my addressto the electors are the same I expressed onthe hustings, and Imaynow say have heldthose opinions for years. He also says Irefused to pledge myself to any course, aswhen I got to Wellington I might find myviews quite wrong. I distinctly denyhav-ing said anything ofthesort. What I saidin answer to a question requesting me topledge myself upon some point connectedwith the land question, was that in regardto matters of detail it was folly for anycandidate to pledge himself", its when he gotto the Assembly he might require to workout those details differently. The pointupon which I am undecided is whether itwould not be for the good ofthe Provinceto bring in a new Land Act, so that theland might be sold without any restrictionswhatever. This, sir, as I said on thehust-ings, I was not prepared to give any de-cided opinion on, as I have all along beena staunch supporter of the restrictiveclauses in the land regulations, but that inonr present unfortunate monetary po-sition it might become a necessity to openup the land.

By inserting the above, you will oblige,Yourobedient servant,
