The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1870.

Thebe is evidently an exodus from the Thames. Queensland, for what reason we know not, is oppor • '!y the " land of promise;" but the rvi'ing cause of the movement seems 1 ill' ;• a desire to get away, than any f.arlicu'ar attraction else where. We may look on this movement in various lights. Ii is pos.-ible to see in it a proof that !Xew Zealand is incapable of supporting its present population, and therefore to wail jeremiads over the rui nous policy of introducing more. The fact that these miners having tried the country, and finding it all barren from Dan to Beersheba,are flying from it, ready to go anywhere out of New Zealand, may be taken as conclusive testimony that the piospecfcs of this country are used up; that there is no more gold or coal, or other mineral resource ; that the land is not worth having, and will not yield sufficient food to retain a people on its surface. It does not avail anything that the islands, in climate, soil, extent, and latent resources, are acknowledged by intelligent people to be equal in all respects to G-reat Britain. If we come to the consideration of the question in a proper, melancholy spirit, and reflect dismally on our present condition and future prospects, it will be quite clear that .New Zealand is over-populated at the present time, and that any sug gestion to increase the numbers of the settled population, by the introduction of immigrants, the opening up of the country by public works, and helping the first ef forts of the young colonists by the pecu niary aid thus afforded, is bul the reckless remedy of madmen. The country is done, and the sooner we fly from the financial earthquakes and volcanoes, which will speedily involve this community in inevi table ruin, the better for us all. It is quite possible to look at the exodus from the Thames. aiid the present de pressed state of affairs in this light, and become very sad at the prospect. There are, however, other aspects to the ques tion ; and with those wbo have lived much on goldfields there are usually not very many conclusions based on the flit ting to and fro of gold-diggers. Their habits are essentially nomadic ; if unsuc cessful in unearthing treasure in one gully, they will be speedily found in the next; and if gully-rakmg fails to give a satisfactory yield, it is not to the development of other resources of the country, agricultural or otherwise, that the digger turns, but to the speed iest means of getting to some other land, to which the distant mirage is luring him. Some months ago a state of semi-starva tion was existent at the Thames ; there was abundant employment available in the farming districts of the province, and no labour to be found, and yet witli solitary exceptions, the miner preferred to cling to his old hopes rather than

accept of plodding work with fixed returns. That the movements of such a class of men should be taken as a crite rion of the general state of the country and its adaptedness or otherwise for the resumption of immigration, is general ising from very small data. If the lhames miners are leaving us, it simply proves that they find I hames mining does not pay, and that they are still true to no madic instincts. Those leaving have doubtless been for a good while con sumers, but non-producers, and their re moval will be as beneficial to the gold field as to themselves. But such an exodus, however extensive, in no way ati'ects the question ot the introduction of a stream ot immigration, which is the very lite-blood of a young comniuniiy.

There "was a large attendance at the Prince of Wales lheatre last night, " Doing for the Bes," " The Happy fair," and the " Maid and the Magpie," being produced. The performance will be repeated to-night.

Shultz's Operatic and Terpsechorian Com pany had a fair house at the Theatre iioyal last niglit, and were very well reeived. To night the perfo:nianco will be repeated.

As will be seen from another column, the Auckland Ethiopian Troupe, in the flush of youthful enthusiasm, is exhibiting most com mendable zeal, in the cause of good. To morrow evening the Niggers give an entertainment at the Music Hall, in aid of the Orphan Home, Parnell. No cause could be more disserving, and we anticipate for the Company a very great success.

The lollowing particulars of the death of Capt. Cook, are from the Fiji Times of the 17th instant :—" Captain Cook, of the siea .Breeze, lrom Auckland, aied on board iiis vessel iv the Luvuka harbour on Wednesday night. He waj seized wiili paralysis on Sundaj, and never iullv recovered his consciousness. The deceased was strong, hearty, and healthy. His death was sudden and startling to his friends. His funeral was very numerously attended, being the largest ever witnessed in Levuka. E. March, Escj., H.M. Consul, Rev. JL)r. Ball, Dr. Kyley, aud many representatives from the various vessels in the harbour, with numerous merchants and others, paid their last tribute of respect by atteuding the de parted to the grave. The solemn service was conducted bj the Rev. J. Nettelton. All the vessels in harbour had their flags half-mast high during the day."

We ob?erve that Mr. F. A. Lewisson, in order, as he announces, to meet his promissory notes, is determined to sell his choice stock of jewellery at a reduction of twenty per cent, less than cost price. The order is for one week only, and we advise all those of our readers who have a few pounds to spare to pay a visit to Mr. Lewisson's emporium, next door to Chapman's, bookseller. For further particulars we refer our readers to the adver tisement whi h appears in another column.

The following additional particulars are from yesterday's Advertiser —We have been informed that an extraordinary animal has been captured at Porter's Creek, on Whare kawa, and is at present in keeping there. We sincerely hope that it will be brought over here soon, because we con less that the description we have heard is somewhat staggering, to say the least. This animal was caught in a swamp by dogs ; the logs, or arms and legs, were tied, and it was lodged in a vacant room in Mr. Baker's store. And now for the description. The Maori gorilla has, it is stated, a head somewhat like a native, but two tusks stick out, o;e on each side of the head. There is a large tuft of hair on the top of the head. The body is as dark as that of a Maori, with hair on the arms and legs. He grunts somewhat like a pig. So far for the description. The animal is apparently miscellaneous enough in his feeding, for we are informed that he cats potatoes, pie crust, and mils. We are informed that he is to be brought over here for public exhibition, and we must say we should like to see him. Since writing the above we have received some fur ther, and in some part, contradictory par ticulars. The animal, or monster, has been living with the natives for a long time, although it is now, as stated above, in the keeping of Mr. Baker. It would almost appear that the famous "missing link" has been discovered at last. The natives say that it is a hundred years old, and that it is a "tupuna" or ancestor. Thus it seems they ure not so proud as we are, who do not care about believing that we are descended from monkeys. These natives are not prejudiced, and the learned Professors Huxley and JWwin would hail them as men after their own hearts. Two gentlemen were yesterday over at Wharckawa, and offered a pretty large sum far this animal which is to decide the development theory, but the negotiation lor its possession is not concluded.

The annual meeting of ratepayers of the the Karangahape Highway District will be held on the 4th October.

THE TARARU STABBING CASE.

[feoii oub own corurspondent.] Tuesday, September 27. Tite man Joseph Escalliou, who was re manded from Saturday last, was brought up at the Police Court this morning, charged ■with stabbing John Williams, a native of the Friendly Islands, now residing at Tararu Point. Sub-Inspector Bullen conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Shapter appeared for the piisoner. It appears that the prosecutor Williams, and another darkie named Kakaio, were in Q-rahamstown on Friday morning last, and met the prisoner, who had some beer with them, after which they set out to Tararu, and called afc Davidson's Hotel, and had more beer, when prosecutor and prisoner went out arm-in-arm, with Kakaio a little behind, but had not proceeded far when Williams called out that he was stabbed, whereupon Kakaio ran towards the prisoner, who rushed at him witu the knife, but only cut his shirt. The prosecutor was then ex amined, and found to have been stabbed on the riiiht breast, and was brought to the Hospital, where the wound was dressed by Dr. Lethbridge. Information was at once given to the police, and prisoner was appre hended by Constable MuClouglin. The abovt< facts were deposed to by Williams, Kakaio, and John Doran, after which the prisoner was again remanded until to-morrow. — Herald.

FRIGHTFUL SLAUGHTER OF FIJIANS.

By the s.s. Auckland, which arrived in har bour at an early hour this morning, we are in receipt of later files of the Fiji Times, from which we make the following extracts : —

We are sorry to have to report another slaughter of natives. It will be remembered that in 1866, Cakobau conquered the districts of Vugalei and Virio, which had for some time been in rebellion against him. During that war Cakobau requested the chief of Matailo bau to secure Muakalou, a chief of Soloira, and brine him a prisoner to the Bau camp. This the "chief of Matailobau did, probably ex pecting that Muakalou would be taken on to Bau, and not allowed to return to the moun tains. Such, however, was not Cakobau's in tention. After giving Muakalou a good talk ing to, he ordered his release, telling him to go back to his home among the mountains, and live in peace among his people. No sooner had Muak-lou got to his own town, and among his own people, than he expressed his determination to be avenged on the Matailo bau chief by eating him. This determination he has several times repeated, but he has not till now openly declared war against the Ma tailobau people. A short time ago a Soloira woman fled to a Matailobau town, where she was sheltered, and this has been made the pretext for a war in which the tribes of Soloira and Matailobau are engaged. As soon as war was declared a Soloira town called Nakorobolovu joined the Matailobou people, and this is the town in which tbe slaughter we now report took place. At mid day on Friday, the 12th August, when the men were all in their gardens, a large war party from Navosa and Dawarau entered the town of Nakorobalavu by five different paths, took the people by surprise, and killed, it is said, all in the town. The men who were on their planting ground hearing the firing rushed to the rescue of their wives and child ren, but, finding there was no hope for them again&t such a large attacking party, they soon turned and fled, hoping to reach some friendly town ; but in this they were disappointed, as they were met on the way by the people of Nacau, who killed everyone they found, whether man, woman, or child. It is said that 260 were slain, and, as ut present only ten of the Nnkorobalavu people are known to bo alive ; there is reason to fear that if not 280, a very large number have fallen.

FRIENDLY ISLANDS.

The Tongese Parliament met in July. A Cemetery Bill, forbidding interment in towns, and a measure providing for the erection of two houses in each capital of the three prin cipal islands, for the relief of destitute Euro peans, were passed. Five hundred native soldiers, armed with the latest inventions in rifles, were reviewed by the King. The French man of-war Mcgere called at Nukualofa on July the 3rd, from Tahiti. She proceeds to New Caledonia and home via the Suez Canal. The French Admiral is at Tahiti, and is shortly to visit Tonga, and probably Fiji. The Coral, American whaler, is at Tonga, and baring a very suc cessful season ; she lias already taken twenty whales. The natives are dying in numbers from feasting too heavily on the carcases, the report is that eighty have already died, but we cannot vouch for the truth of it as it is from natives. The Napoleon is also at Va vau. The barque San Francisco left for Samoa on the 10th July, and the Adolph (both owned by Messrs. Godefroy and Co., of Hamburgh), is to proceed to Europe shortly, with copra (dried coconut) and oil. Tke Tonguese Q-overnment have sold the island of Kambe (Fiji) to Captain John Hill.

The effects of the late hurricane are much felt.

Tobou College is fully established, and one hundred and twenty natives, many of .them sons of the leading chiefs, are being educated there ; the " curriculum" embraces a study of English mathematics, algebra, &c. The Prince of Wales brings three hundred sheep from Eva. The Tongese Governments will lease 'and for 50 and 99 years.

The tax on liquors landed on the group is as follows :—Spirits, two dollars a gallon ; wine, one dollar ; claret and ale, free ; license for tlie sale of same, three hundred dollars a year.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE MOANATAIRI WATER RACE.

[feom otjb own cobbespondent.]

Tuesday, September 27. A CoiOBED man named Clements, in the employment of this company, whilst engaged in jacking a log of kauri, this afternoon, met with a painful accident. It appears that tbe jack gave way, and he was caught between two immense logs, and only by the most strenuous efforts was released. He was at once brought to the Hospital, and it was found necessary to amputate his leg, which was done by Dr. Lethbri<*ge, the resident surgeon, assisted by Drs. Kilgour and Trosseau. — Herald.
