FRANCE.

Adjustment of Differences Between President and Assembly.

PARIS.

March 2,

Brogne read the report of the Commission of Thirty to the Assembly to-day, before a full attendance of members. During the reading the most intense excitement pre vailed.

The enthusiasm of the Chamber was raised to the highest point when it was shown by the report that the differences between Thiers and the Commission had been har monized and that the President and the Assembly were now completely in accord.

A letter has been addressed by the Count de Chambord to Monseigneur Dupanloup, in which he says he is resolved to abide by hereditary principles in regard to the succes sion to the French throne.

RUSSIA.

The Khivan Expedition.

The Russian Government has advices warantingjthe announcement thatthe Khivans will shortly sue for peace. A special des patch from Berlin to the Times this morning says that the Russian Government is hurry ing forward larger reinforcements to Turkes tan, ?and it is also announced that all the Khivan merchants are withdrawing from Orenburg for fear that the continuance of Khivan war will bring them into bad re putation with the authorities. The Moscow Gazette hints that the es tablishment of a neutral zone with Affghan istan, as the intermediate between Great Britain and Russia, will accelerate instead of preventing the collision between those Powers, which is now apprehended.

POLISH INSURRECTION. —SHOCKING BAR BARITIES.

St. Petersburg, February 26.—The revolt in the Province of Uukraine has assumed alarming proportions, and the atrocities com mitted by the insubordinate peasantry are moat revolting in their cruelty. The insur gents have massed together in large numbers, and are extending their depredations through out the district, laying waste some of the principal towns. In several places the most barbarous excesses have been committed, the insurgents -without provocation attack ing the inhabitants, burning their dwellings and murdering the inmates, both male and female. The power of the Govern ment is defied, and the revolt is maintain ing supreme control over the district. A force of Rnssian troops from the city of Kerva, which had been despatched to sup plies the insurrection, were met by the insurgents, and the engagement teiminated in the disastrous defeat of the Government troops. The inability of the Government to maintain order has created a general alarm among the inhabitants, who, in great numbers, are fleeing from the country.

San Diego, February 20th. —The Union of to-morrow will publish the following: The Guaymas paper, El Golfo de Cortes, of a still later date (January 29th) speaks of the terri ble ravages of the Apaches. The number of persons killed in the frontier towns is not exactly known, but no less than 26 murders are recorded. FRIGHTUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. New York, February 18th.—A frightful accident on the Hudson River Railroad occured to-day. The lever was broken on the engine, and the engineer could not stop. The train ran on to Hastings and plunged into the Yonkers special train. Another railway accident occurred at Little Rock by the train running over an embankment. Twenty-four passengers were injured. • Fortunately no one was killed, but Assistant Conductor Cum mings and the brakeman are probably fatally injured. None of the passengers received severe injuries, but many of them were badly bruised. BURIED ALIVE. Baltimore, Md., February 18.—While the workmen at the Union Tunnel were engaged in digging an excavation this morning the embankment suddenly caved in, burying a number of men. One man was aken out dead, and two others received serious injuries. DESTRUCTION OF THE TOWN OF SAN VICENTE, SALVADOR. From Salvador we have no news except that the town of San Vicente had been des troyed by an earthquake, before mentioned. An intelligent passenger just arrived says that Vicente is a town of about 100,000 inhabitants; that the houses are of adobe, and have been so often shaken by earth quakes that a strong shock was not re ;uired to finish what so many others had eft undone.

ASPINWALL.

January 19,

On the evening of Saturday, January 18, at half-past eleven o'clock, an old-fasbioned " norther" began in this city, and has since continued with unprecedented fury, although old residents and some " Shell-backs" said at sundown, " The sky looks dirty," and "Look out for a norther," yet none realized it until about eleven o'clock, and from that time out the sea was something fearful—pro bably the worst norther that Aspinwall has ever experienced. The wharves were lined with steamships and sailing vessels, and disasters soon commenced of which the fol lowing is a rough sketch, and as accurate as it is possible to make now :— Three-masted schooner Royal Archer has been carried through the Pacific Mail Wharf ; she is a total wreck, anclan immense amount of oil, rubber, wool, &c, are destroyed. The wharf is damaged immensely ; $100,003 will not cover the loss. The German wharf is nearly destroyed by the bark Orient, which is now pounding against the wharf, and will be a total loss. The French wharf has the bark Caribon pounding against it, and barque wharf will go to destruction certainly. The Liverpool wharf is very seriously damaged by an English barque lying alongside of it. Nothing but a miracle will save either. The schooner C. H. Kelly, of Boston, loaded with lumber for the Panama Railroad Company, is high on shore and will doubtless break up within an hour. Two barques and a brig are drifting on to the reef, ii which case neither ship nor crew can live ten minutes. The Elvie Allen is in a precarious situation, but if her lines hold she may survive, but it is very doubtful. The T. L. Stocker, although badly damaged, will probably get through it- The Royal Mail steamship Tasmanian has probably gone to Porto Bello. The Liver pool steamer Bolivar hauled off from the wharf and is gone to sea. The French steamer Desirade is in the stream, and is all right. The steamer Henry Chauncey is outside, and will not come in. She wAI donltless make for Porto Bello. Small coasters have been sunk. As yet there is no loss of life. Every hawser and chain in town is in use, and everything possible to be done, whether by the Company or individuals, is being done. Much excite ment exists.

The steamship Ocean Queen sailed from Aspinwall for New York at noon on the 18th inst., nearly twelve hours before the norther commenced.

[second despatch.] January 19th, 1573—6 r.M, —The barque Gilmore Meiidith has dragged her anchor, and now lies on the reef, fast going to pieces The captain and crew are all on board. A small boat with five Jamaicans, in going to her assistance, was swamped and two drowned. The barque Orient, with about 500 tons of coal, sank this afternoon. William Jeffries, employe of the Panama Railroad Company was drowned.fthis after noon by the capsizing of a boat. The Royal Mail Steamer Tasmanian went adrift, and with much difficulty finally got her head to the sea and steamed out, probably to Porto Bello. The French steamer Desirade was con siderably damaged about her bow by the Tasmanian, but she also got out in the stream, and with full steam and both anchors down rode the gale out nobly.

POLICE COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Beforehis Worship the Mayor.)

DRUNKENNESS. Robert Miller was charged with being drunk in Queen-street, and fined 5s and costs or twenty-four hours' imprisonment. ELIZA m'guinn. Eliza McGuinn, a determined-looking woman, who had offended on thirty-seven previous occasions, was brought up charged with being drunk in High-street, and with being an incorrigible rogue. The accused said with a loud voice that she was drunk, but had never stole anything in her life.

His Worship said it would be of no use giving a woman like the prisoner a short sentence, as she would be here again shortly. She must go to prison for twelve months. The prisoner expressed her gratitude to His Worship in unpolished terms, concluding with the words " long may you reign." ASSAULT. William Cook was charged with assaulting John Laman, at Epsom, on the 20th ult. Mr Keetley appeared for the defence, and asked for a remand. His Worship remanded the case until Friday. woman's tongues. Mary Ann Mulcaly was charged with using certain words of an offensive nature, not to be found in Johnson's dictionary, towards Winifred Williams; whereupon a tea-pot storm arose, when Mary Williams said Mary _nn Mulcaly was a , which epithet was violently resented by Mary Ann. Julia McKenna then fired up with Irish fervour ; and said Amelia Williams was a something which was a something which Julia did not believe. This little cluster of excitable neigh bours were humming like bees about the Police Court, discussing their small quarrels, when at length they agreed by mutual con sent, Mary Ann, Winifred, Mary, Julia, and Amelia, to make matters right over a shout. Mary Ann promised to shout all round, whereupon the cluster went across to Boulter's Hotel for that avowed object, chat tering like starlings. This was all the business.

MEETING OF THE PRESYBTERY.

The quarterly meeting of the Auckland Presbytery was held this morning at St. Andrew's Church. Present : Revs. R. McKinney (moderator,) R. F. Macnicol, (clerk,) D. Bruce, J. Macky, P. F. Mackenzie, T. Stewart, P. Mason, and Mr. R. Sommerville (elder). The proceedings opened with the devotional exercise, after which the clerk read the minutes of previous quarterly and pro re nata meetings, which were confirmed. The following ministers reported that the collection for the Widow and Orphans' Fund had been made in their respective charges, Rev. J. Mackay, Otahuhu; Rev. D. Bruce, St. Andrews ; T. Stewart, Waikato ; R. F. Macnicol St. James. Mr Macky reported that a collection had been made for church extension. The Rev. D. Bruce read a volummous report of the Home Mission Committee, which was of an encouraging nature. The report was adopted on the motion of the Rev. J. JVacky, seconded by the Rev. T. Stewart, and the thanks of the Presbytery tendered to the Convener for his care in drawing up the same. ,_____, The Rev. D. Bruce suggested that the report should be condensed and printed, and he would be very happy to undertake the duty of preparing it; and it was agreed to print the report in a condensed form. '*The Rev. Mr Bruce then read a communi cation from the Secretary of the Colonial Committee of the Church of Scotland, statmg that that committee had agreed to give a grant of £50 to the charge of Opotiki. The Secretary stated that he received a i loiter from Mr Eraser, tho teacher, asking to

commence the first stage of his examination at once. It was agreed to hold one-half of his examination at the next quarterly meeting. Rev. D. Bruce called attention to the fact that the report of the proceedings of the General Assembly had been printed, and a number of copies were now lying on the table, and he would request the members of the Presbytery to distribute the same. He also gave notice that at the next meeting of the Presbytery he would move that it be an in struction to Prebyteries or to Synods, where such exist, to make known at an early date to neighbouring Presbyteries or Synods, the names of all students seeking license to preach the Gospel, and of all ministers bringing credentials from other churches ; also, that it be an instruction to the committee on theological training to prepare and forward to Presbyteries an enactment to the above effect, with the view of making the same statute law of the Church," also, "That the next meeting of the General Assembly be held at Auckland, in December, 1873, or in January, 1874, on a day to be fixed by the Moderator ; and that it be remitted to Presbyteries to consider the question as to the desirableness of hold ing annual meetings of Assembly thereafter at Wellington, Christchurch, and Auckland, in turn."

Mr xl. Sommerville gave notice of motion— " That it be remitted to Presbyteries to con sider the desirableness of establishing a Sus tentation Fund for the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, and that they be instructed to report to next meeting of Assembly." The Rev. P. F. Mackenzie gave notice that he would move at the next meeting of the Presbytery—"That the clerk be instructed to write to the Rev, Peter Hope, secretary to the Colonial Committee of the Free Church of Scotland, and, if necessary, to be secretary of the colonial committees of the other Presbyterian churches in Britain, requesting that no more ministers be designated to this Presbytery until they are asked for; and further that a committee be appointed who shall hereafter determine when and where ministers are re quired, and shall take such action in the matter as may be deemed advisable." The Rev. J. Macky gave notice of motion, "That the travelling expenses of the members of the Presbytery living at an in convenient distance be paid by the Presbytery, to enable them to attend the meetings more regularly." Rev. D. Bruce, on behalf of the Home Mission Committee, asked the Presbytery to appoint the time of the next meeting of the committee. He afterwards moved that the Home Mission committee meet the Tuesday after next at half-past three o'clock. This was agreed to. The Rev. R. F. Macnicol informed the Presbytery that he should be compelled to resign his position as secretary, as he found he could not devote his time to the duties involved. He hoped a brother would be found willing to take the office. The secretary gave notice of motion that a committee be appointed for the purpose of visiting the various charges in the Presbytery for the object of carrying on evangalistic work, and otherwise promoting the general welfare of the church. On the motion of Mr Bruce it was agreed to hold the examination of students on the day xjrior to the meeting of the Presbytery at eleven o'clock. The usual examiners were re-appointed. It was agreed on the suggestion of the Rev. R. F. Macnicol that a box should be procured in which to deposit the minute books and papers of the Presbytery. The meeting closed with the benediction.
