A SENSATIONAL DIVORCE SUIT

ißy telegraph from Auculanc?.] gf [Special to Sydney “News ”] London. October 29 Nothing since the celebrated Mordaunt scandal has canstd so much sensation in England as the alleged disclosure* In con nection with the aristocratic action in wbteh I ady Colin Campbell sm d for divorce frem h»r husband, the eon of the Duke of Arpyle and brother to (h« Marquis of Lome. The case wjs heard in camera, and in consequence the wildest remora have been circulated as to the grounds for the action and the counter charges that have been made. It ia alleged that the Prince of Wales has been in constant communica tion with Lady C din Campbe 1, and that correspondence cf a very ques t'onable character has taken place between tbe Prince and her ladyship. The Prince of Wales has denied the truth cf the al legations, hat the correspondence has not been produced. This has led to an indig nant demand on the part of a section of the press for the production of the letters. The Qner.rq it is said, h-s displayed an unusual Interest in the matter, and has commanded the Duke of Argyle to leave no rt-or.e unturned to discover the letters the Prince w:ota to Lady Campbell so that Her Mr-jesty may satisfy herself as to their contents.

THE RECENT MASSACRE B NEW GUINEA NATIVES

The missionary schooner Ellangowan. which has arrived st < coktcw j, brouaht the following particulars of a shocking out rage by New Guinea natives : Mr Thomas Mnllens has reported to the Special Commissioner for New Guinea that he was at Ronald Island in the schooner Alice Mead and that the natives there told him of the murder of Captain Oraig and a 1! the crew of the ketch Emily, of Cooktown Captain Craig was p arl shelling off Johanne-. Island, near Gordon Tillage. Besides Captain Craig, there were working with him Walter Hollingsworth, an assistant named Thompson, a Greek, a Malay cook, and fonr Malay hands. He •Iso had in Ws employment seven natives of Jobannet Island. On September 14 a large boat belonging to the Emily went oat to the shelling ground, leaving the Malay cook on board. Three of the Jobannet natives, pretending to be sick, stayed on board also. The boa* anchored in the shelling ground in about 19 fathoms. Craig and Thompson were in the act of raising the «Rver when the natives csp sfz d itiuii ovviLourd, rutting the diver’s life-line, while Hoae, the Greek, was rlnbbed at the pump with a piece of fire* wood. The foot Malays immediately jumped rverboard and tried to swim to a neighboring reef. Craig and Th -mpson also struck for the rtef The Jobannet natives. In a large ho t, weighed anhor and went on board the Emily. They loosened the dingey, and taking a Win chester rifle, overtook the six men who were still swimming, and shot them all in the water. In the meantime the cook had been killed by the three natives <>n board the Emily Returning to the Emily, the natives plundered her of every thing they want'd, spreading the sails about, and poured kerosene over them, and then set the vessel on fire. The ketch was burnt, and sank in 19 fathoms of water, f>n bearing the account of the natives, Mnllens crossed over in the Ahca Mead from Benard to Johann t Island, where he found the natives afraid to communicate with him. They had been previously friendly to him. Hear ing that a large boat belonging to the Emily was at the village, he threatened to bring a man-of-war at once if they did not give her np, and they finally did a r , Malleus remained three days at Jrhannet Island, and then left for Sudest He returned to Gordon, or Sohannet Island, on the 28th September, and found there Captain Bobinaon, of the schooner albert, anchored In the same position as the Emily. He warred Captain Robinson. Be searched for wreckage of the Fmily, but conld not find any, or any of the dead bodies* He reported the matter to the Government agent, Mr H 0.

THE GREAT BARRIER TRAGEDY!

Auckland, November 10. The Gnat Barrier murder enquiry was resumed at the Police Court thisnvTntng »>yd«ey Wrightman, Surveyor, dep ’seo to making a drawing and plans of the t home and surroundings, as formerly . occupied by Taylor. Mrs Taylor, wife of the murdered man, said that on the morning of the 19th they , bsd just got out of bed when Penn came t along the beach to >he house. He said he was from the cutter Teviot and wanted batter. Witness a; d her bus bard were going for the butter when Caff ey sprang in with a revolver in ea.,h hand and shouted “ Hold your hands up, Taylor ”. He repeated Hu words three limes, ihen presented a revolver and fired. Penn had sst down and till then bad kept b >'h hands in his coat pockets Taylor called out, “ Oh, Johnny, dot t sh ot me.” That was hefo e the shot was fired. Witness heard three sho's fired one after another, and her hu-band then ran into the bedroom and closed the door behind him. Caff.ey rushed up to the door and burst it open, Ponn following him. Witness was rushing about the kitchen screaming and went to t'>e door to see if any one was about. She heard one more shot fired, apparently in the bedroom. She ran in and saw Penn with his left arm around her husband’s neck. Penn pointed a revolver at her wi‘h his right band to prevent her going further. She did not observe Cafffey at that time and cou’d not say whether Taylor was alive or dead. Witness ran out when Penn pointed the revolver at her and ran in the direction of stock - yard. Pt-nn followed, c.ver-took her and told her to stop, saying “ If you don’t stop I’.l blew your brains out.” He had a revolver pointed at her and she clasped her hands and prayed him not to shoot her. _____________

A WASTED LIKE.

A. man with a strange history has died at Belfast, iu Victoria, where his daad tody was found on the coast. The de cease', who was kncwn as "‘Billy Cray fish,” had Jived for the last 25 years hermit-dike in a cave on the coast, and had obtained a liv ng by catching fi hf nd making hrocms and mats At the inquest the evidence showed that ho was Witliam Archer, and that he had s strange history According to a witness who knew the de ceased intimately, it appears that 45 years ago he was sentenced to transportation for Hfe from the old country to Tasmania for the alleged crime of shootin? a game keeper while poaching. He had been in this district for about 30 years. About 13 years ago a man in England on hts d athbed confessed that he, and not Wi'liam Arcljer, had shot the gamekeeper and that Archer had been wrongly ccn vioted. Archer’s friends who w«s in a good position, comtmmicaied with the authorities in England with the resalt that Archer received a free pardon, and arrangements were made to pay his ex penses to England. The old man how- | ever, refused to go back, saving (hat his life had been mined by an unjust senior c A verdict was returned of death from old age and exposure

AGRICULTURE IN GREAT BRITAIN

+ 1 The abstract of the agrhuliural returns j for Great Britain, published just before the departure of the mail, are of consider able interest. They do not show, ss was expected, any marked falling i 3 in agriculture, but show that farmers are turning their atte* tion to those produc e ‘ which have not. suffered so severe a fa’l In price. The figures as compared with j 2<J years ago are very instructive, and ] show the changes that have taken ' plsce during that period. The average ] total arable land in Great Britain over , the five years ended 1870 was 17,879 380 ( acres, while in 1885 the returns show ( 17,201,940 sc es. IVbeat is the only J crop in which the area has shown a ] marked cecre* e during the period under review. In 1866 the area nnder wheat was 3 ?50,394 acres, and rose In 1869 to 3 688 357 acres. In 1876 it fell to under ■ 3 0 1 ,.0,000 acres, but, was slightly ever thet a ; ea during the next few years. 1 But this rear •he *crea e unde- this grain is only j 2 286 064 aorsa, The aea under barley, which reac ed the max ; miim in 1879, when it stood at 2,667,176 aces, has not altered much in the last 20 years, and is now only 4,000 acr-s larger than in 1866. In oats, the a r ea has shown a large in crease and now stands at 3.081,701 acres, being the maximum area reached up to the present. The potato crop has ' been cultivated with great steadiness, and shows very lr t'e variation, while the area under hops shows an increase of 1 ah' u> 5,000 acros. The returns of cattle, sheep, and pi.s are also of fntere't 1 There has been a large Increase In cattle, 8 the number th>a year reaching 6.646.785 1 while in 1866 it was 4 785 836. The figures for sheep are not nearly so satis factory, The highest number reached * was in 1868, when were set down at 1 30 811 396. The number last year was 2 ,534 635, while this year they are 25 521,334 The decrease since last year ' is stated to be due to the scarcity of feed during the winter, and the unfavorable • lambing season. The number of pigs in 1866 was 2 477 619 as compared with 2,221,557 in 1886 The prevalence of dbease in swine will no doubt account to some extent for the decrease, but the i enormous increase in the foreign pork, bsc n and hams has also made this indus try less profitable than previously. The number of sgr cultural horses is net down j at 1.408,789 as compared with 1.266,709 i in 1870 Taking the atstis ics as a whole j they are not so unsatisfactory as was j exoectad, especially when the low prices recently ruling for all kinds of produce are taken Into consideration. The in crease in cattle would seem to indicate the advance of dairy farming which tas lately taken place in a marked degree and would In some measure account for changes in cropping and even to a small extent to the decrease In the number of sheep kept,

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

We never coaid understand (says the Age) why Mr Gladstone should have oc cupied ißyyrt unless he determined to make the oc upation permanent, but with drawal now means a vain and profligate expenditure of blood and treasure, as well as a confession of weakness. If the British na'ion submit to each terms its character would be bankrupt beyond redemption. Many generations nous' elapse before it re gained its status in the European family of nations, while to the humiliation would be added the danger of the aggressor presum ing on bl j fuco’ »8 and becoming more ag gressive still. Everything hangs upon the attitude of France, for there is nothin!' to fear fr m Russia in Egypt or the Mediter ranean. The French people are burning for an opportunity to rehabilitate their damaged military piestige, and it is in their power to force this opportunity at the present juncture under exceptionally favorable auspices. In conjunction with Bussla she could engage Great Britain at a tremendous disadvantage to the latter ; and if Great Britain were assisted by Get mar y her army would be qu to equal to the task of repelling a German Invasion oa the ■ bine, with Russia co-operating with her lu force upon Bismarck’s other flank. Bis marck sees the peril of the situation, aud his enemies know that be sees it, and fir d in the knowledge a further temptation to preeevre in their designs without regard to farm His true policy and the policy of Germany is to let the other powers ex bans' themselves by a war in which be will take no part; and when they can fight no longer be will be fresh in tbo field either to arbitrate or to dictate as the occasion offer;.

Listen to your Wife.

The Manchester Guardian, June Bth, 1883, says : At one of the “ Windows ” Lookin'; on the woodland ways ! With clumps of rhododendrons and great masses of May blossoms!!! “There was an interesting group.” It included one who had been a “ Cotton spinner,” but was now so Paralysed ! ! t That he could only bear to lie in a reclining position. This refers to my case. I was first attacked twelve years ago with “ Locomoter Ataxy ” (A paralytic disease of nerve fibre rarely ever cured) and was for several years barely ab’e to get about. And for the last five years not able to attend to my business, although Many things have been done for me. The last experiment being nerve stretching. Two years ago I was voted into the Home for Incurables ! near Manchester, in May, 1882. I am no “ Advocate ” ; “ For anything in the shape of patent ” Medicines ? And made many objections to my dear wife’s constant urging to try Hop Bitters, but finally to pacify her— Consented !! I bad not quite finished the first bottle when I felt a change come over me. This was Saturday, November 3rd. On Sunday morning I felt si strong I said to my room companions, " I was sure I could “ Walk I” So started across the floor and back. I hardly knew how to contain myself. I was all over the house. I am gaining strength eaoh day, and can walk quite safe without any “ Stick I” Or Support. I am now at my own house, and hope soon to be able to earn my own living again. I have been a member of the Manchester “ Royal Exchange ” For nearly thirty years, and was most heartily congratulated on going in the room on Thursday last. Very gratefully yours, John Blackbubn. Manchester, (Eng.) Deo. 24th, 1883. Two years later am perfectly well.

Birkley, at one time almost a millionaire in America, In his prosperity he bnilt a residence for himself at Newark, in which every modern extravagance was in dnged in, and artists were engaged from the East to put finishing touches to panels and frescoes, and to hang the walls of the prin oipal chambers with the most costly paintings in the market. The grounds were laid out in the same extravagant manner, fountains and rockeries alternating with parterres and almost transformed Into a marvel of pictures qnences.
