The Naval Volunteers proceeded to the butts, Point Chevaliejyyestdraay, to compete for a rifle presented by J. T. MacKelvie, Esq., and a few other prizes. The . Volunteers were under the command of Captain G-uildLig, and the other officers -who were on the ground were Major Tisdall, Lieutenant Le Roy, Dr. Watling, Sergeant-Major Brougham.

ATTEMPTED INCEND I ARISM.

A daring- case of attempted incendiarism took place yesterday afternoon, but it wa3 for tunately frustrated. This time, the building sel-cted by the incendiary was St. James' school-room, in Wellington-street. This school is near to the church, and is kept by Mr. Mclntosh. Shortly before four o'clock, smoke and flame -was discovered to be coming out from beneath one of the windows, and it was naturally supposed that the fire was in the school-room, which at this time was deserted, t!.e boys and the master having (left, but no fire was to be seen in the room, and the people present on the 3pot were a good deal puzzled as to whereat came from. In the meantime it • was making progress, and had burst in several places through the weal her-boards, when it wa3 found to be raging between the lining of the school-room and the wall. A plentiful supply of water was obtained, and was very 3 iom got under, some of the weather hoard* near the ground havin/beei) r.utjaway, with an axe, the better to got at the root of Ihe fire. It was then discovered that some straw, partially consumed, and paper were under the floor, where the fire had evidently been lighted, with the intention of burning down the building. We sincerely trust that the perpetrator of this dustairdly crime will be brought to justice, and after this attempt we are .certainly inclined, to believe that the rags, &c j could" have heen lighted', in Rutland street, on FriJav night, with no other object than to burn down the adjoining buddings.

| THE EESACA AT FIJI. TitE usually dull life in Levnka. has been somewhat enlivened the last few days by numerous visits to the United States ship-of war Resacft, iu>vr.'ljiligi iv 'our liarbour ; and thtf hosjjihaiily ihowil by. Her 'captain and officer ■ h;ia been duly appreciated and partici pated in l>y a largo number o( the Levuka lolk, and tlic very fine weather we have eu p^ed lately has lent assistnticai to m&lje '.n)at ters more pleasant. Nor lias "'the enjoyment beeh confniid a together to shipboard, Lhe ad ivadtsige having been taken to'provide a coup deS'dce in llio shape of a public ball, toenter laiii the officers of the Besaca, as a slight recognition lo tlie open hospitality exhibited by ;thein to all visit rs to their ship, and which can c off with givufc eclqt at the.readiiig room on .Wedlie'sday/ievV'nuig. Both the English and American Consuls were present. Tho U.S. ship-of-war Ke aca returned from her: expedition to the Rakiraki Coast last Slinlday evening, whence sho had proceeded to enqtiiro inio the conduct of the chief liola bolii, who lias for some time past been a source of annoyance to American citizens, and a terror to Fijimen. Cako.bau ;and tvo-of ihiij soiisj accompanied the vessel, and through the influence of the for: er the ferocious scoundrel was]got on board the Kes:icu. The result of the (inquiry was that Cnkobau should enter intoiabond often thousand dollars with tiie American Grovernment that Bolabola should not be allowed to return to the Kakiraki Coast again. This bond having been signejd,'aealpd, and| delivered, the Resaca turned towards Levhka, with Cakobau's prisoner, Bolabola, on bjoard. During the wuy back, Cakobau intimated to some on bo£trd that it was his intention, on arrival at Levuka, to call a meeiing of ite% and-natiyesj as both, races had se^'iou^liai-gls a|ai^st tyiq! prisoner,', and I if* lie 'proved guilty, 'of which there could be no doubt, hang him, as a warning to otlie -s, who might feel inclined to walk in his footsteps. Somehow or ether, it is supposed, Bolabola heard the intention of Cakobau, and no doubt knowiu^^fe^lijttjlefdii^ilttl^he^e would be in proving his several crimes—the most serious of which was the poisoning of aw lite man, and eating Fijitaen—deter mine I to cheat the hangman by suicide, or makt his escape, and with either of these in tenti )iis dropped/Oiv^rboardjabput^fdnii; njiles from. Levuksv'insi'Je N;lio a-eef/auo/abouMene;

mile from shore, the Resaca at the time steam ing at a good speed. Bolabola was never seen afterwards, although the vessel hove to, boats were lowered, and two hundred pairs of eye scanned the all but quiet waters for nearly an hour. It is supposed that, as he dropped from the vessel instead of leaping, he did not sink, and must have been hunied into the other wo-ld by coming in contact with tin propeller ; suid thus Fiji is rid of a blood thirsty scoundrel. —Fiji Time*.

THE FRENCH REVERSES.- A CRIME OF COMFORT FOR THE DEFEATED.

;The despkoiaeal of, Sunday evenpf, detailing %he suftve^s of- tfee Crown Prii|c^ of Prussia t>ver M;oM-»ihap apld^ his" comtnaiid, created •arnOTßour French'citizens the most profound astonishment. Napoleon was believed to have ■been^fu4fy-"prepaTed'-»foF«fche»war-whichhe»eo earnestly invited. McMahon was one of his piost /trusted Marshals, and every thing promised that the opening of the campaign, at lea»i.j:-would-be*a- brJlliant-oneJor-Jihe,ChraiuL Nation and her armies. Constant reference was made to the elan of the French troops. They were to carry everything before them as usual c at.the fir^t If the Prussian troops w4re lo be jßUOcessful at all, it woull hot to oft tHe first! second, or even the third battle. The proverbial German obstiaacy was to be their salvation; and as the cam ,paigu_advanced, this quality would assert it self, slnd'"'Napoleon would find perhaps the stubbornnes3-o.f the German more tlian a match for the brilliant but effervescent courage of the mercurial''Gaul. Such were the con elusions arrived atk by many. But Vhommi propose, et clieu diifyose. The Prussians are on French soil, and a portion of the G/and sarmy,fcc-mmended by theVetertitfMcM^hbi^ iJ :flyingl'before them tqWard'Pdis, iivha-h'! is'only one hundred and twenty miles from Metz, the last point threatened. Napoleon, while ad mitting those disasters in his despatches, adds " all this/may be retrieved." How F Casting about''for some explanation of thid extraordinary state of affairs, they feel dis posed" to advance a theory which grows naturally from the situation. They feel convinced that Napoleon knew when he left Paris, he left behind him the people divided in opinion on the justice and necessity of the war. The lllierfl, or peace, party, was stronger than their advicea from/Paris gave ( thera to believCi- /Thejtpnqpf Napoleon's antebellum proclamations, the processions of the pacifically disposed in the streets, tlie visit of the Jimpress Eugeniu to M. Thiers, immediately after the departure of her husband; for the front, and lastly, tlie murmuring and disaffection of the Mobile at Chalons, is strong evidence in sup port of this position. The lack of unification among; the French 1 "explains also tlie hesitation of tlie troops on the frontier. Under other circumstances, the aggressive was the plain and rational policy for the Emperor to' pursue;;' but this policy would not: do while disaffection prevailed at Paris. Ihe people must be compacted as a unit in his favor be fore the Eagles cro-sed the Rhine in force.* They think he-has succeeded,^y, the.aidpf the Crown Prince, in accomplishing (his McMahon's flying legions are the idee Na poliene to fire the national heart of France.; " The.Gnrsc National and, the Garde Mobile have hushed their murmurs, a'nd'have asked'to be allowed to join the array at the front." " The patriotic excitement, which had subsided,, has been revi/ed, and the national sentiments noW are Vetigeaivee forWlaih1 brethren;" - "The. Prince Imperial has been sent back to Paris," and, as one of the Government papers signifi cantly observes, the " camp will no longer be a/Oour.; out ofiplace." * Such is the tenor of the latest dispatches, which they think show that a little French blood has healed French dissensions, and indicate that the heroic Germans/will-soon find,the foemen.to be more worthy of their steel than they have proved themselves since the opening of the campaign.— .Daily Call, August 9.

CHURCH UNITY.

On the 16th inst., at the sitting of the Diocesan Synod at Oliristehurch, Mr. Bishop moved— " That .this : Sydod ■ deeply deplores the un happy divisions which cxis 1 among the several religious bodies, and respectfully requests his Lordship the Primate of New Zealand to bring the matter Leforo the next session of the General Synod, with the vie# of ascertaining the mind of that Assembly as to the grounds upon which tlie Church of England and Ireland in the coio'ny off &ewj. '■ZealixA'd cdulA coriseufc to cooperate with ©lifer i»eligioUs 'ibodi'es.iir Lhe work of the churches in this colony."

He felt convinced that unity did n'ot'''^xut in essential points—that in cloctrinul teaching many religious bodies were one, ai.d therefore lie hoped that the Synod wpuld.. take the inattei^mU) .seuous consitjerar, tibii, iif the 'hope thai d 4ilo'ier iutrion ■ mtglit be brought about between different branches «f the Church.
