Every man _\l a to the general fand one dollar S month. I* is rigorously collected, d the chiefs are very honest in "n applying it to the purposes of Government for wni-h it is intended. This tax is volun tarily paid by the Europeans, and these get orotection from native depredations in con sequence, if a store is broken into, or any thing is stolen from a white man's house, the nroprietor at once communicates with the chiefs, and they often find out and punish the thief. There are rumours flying about of a disturbance among the natives at the island of Savai. It is asserted that there ia likely to b_ a fight there, but the reports are not at all well grounded. One of the great chiefs (I forget his name) died at Manaua about a month ago. The mission ary barque John Williams is at present lying in the harbour.

APIA SHIPPING.

Vessels in P orfc 20th May : Samoa, schooner; Alfred, brig; Hallie Jackson, topsail schooner; Godeffroy, barque ; Ceres, barque, all belonging to Messrs Goddefroi and Co.; the missionary barque John Wil liams. The barque Godeffroy arrived from Ham burg on the Bth May. The topsail schooner Hallie Jackson, ar rived from Sydney on the 18th May. The barque Ceres was to leave Apia for Hamburg about the 24th May. The schooner Upolu left about the begin ning of the month of May, for Sydney.

A SUBMARINE VOLCANO.

Captain M'Kenzie, of the schooner Kennil vorth, gives us an interesting account of an. extraordinary phenomenon witnessed by all' on board that schooner on the 30 th April, while the vessel was midway between the islands of Tonga and Haabai, two of the Friendly group. Early in the morning a fountain of water was seen rising from the sea, accompanied by clouds of steam, which effectually prevented it being taken for the jpouting of a whale. As the schooner ap proached nearer to it its volume was found, to be very large* The stream of water,Jwas projected into the air to a height of over i hundred feet, and fell over in graceful eurres. From thequantity of steam which was evoked it seemed nearly certain that the pro jected water was boiling. The spot is marked od the chart as a shoal, although it is fully twelve miles from land. Inconsequence of this Captain M'Kenzie was deterred from approaching close to the singular phenome non. It continued with very little variation, at the same height, all the time it was in sight. Mariners have noticed that the small islands in this neighbourhood are continually altering in elevation. They are no doubt subjected to strong volcanic agency, and the strange spectacle observed by Capt McKen zie was probably one of the few instances on record of the visible working of a submarine volcano.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT TON GATABU.

We ate indebted to the Jlev. Mr. Moulton, t.e head-master of the college at Tongatabu, for the following particulars of an attempted murder on that island, which occurred about •fortnight before the departure of the Ken flworth; The would-be murderer is one Boothroyd, a storekeeper, and his intended Wm) Mr Trood, an agent of Messrs Godef froy. and Co., the great German firm, who nearly monopolise the trade of the Friendly Itlanda. It appears that Boothroyd's wife died about two month's ago, and since that time he has been in a desponding state, which at intervals developed into right doTO! insanity. * On the evening of the occurrence Boothroyd went into Mr Trood's Muse with a loaded gun, afterwards found tote charged with no less than seven bullets. Trood, wjw in the front room, and as Boothroyd came in laughingly said, " _.ou look warlike this evening Boothroyd.'' "Yes," answered the assassin, "I mean to ■hoot you." Upon thiß he attempted to level the weapon at Trood, but that gentleman iprahg up, and grasping the barrel, prevented the wretch's purpose, at the same time calling loudly for help. Here this a native rushed o and Boothroyd was overpowered and dis jwied, j He was a few days afterwards tried ™"nally by King George and a jury half "Mopean and half Tongese. He was found flrilty, but recommended to mercy on the ground of insanity. No sentence was pro nounced, and it was not decided when the KehilWorth left -what should be done with we prisoner. It was generally thought he Would be. banished to a desert island.
