Those who succeeded in escaping to the woods were hunted clown with hounds, brought back and killed on the following day. The river was covered over with bodies floating down it from the. side of Lareg. At that time the murderers were massacring the Christians of the parish of Holven, and were burning their villages, Those who took refuge in the cliffs of the neighbourhood were hunted down and burned alive.

AMERICA.

THE WARD BEECHER SCANDAL,

THE BROOKLYN SENSATION.— LATEST PARTICULARS.

GREAT GOVERNMENT FBAUDS IN

CANADA,

RAILWAY DISASTERS,

BURNING OF A RIVER STEAMBOAT.— THIRTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.

The Beecher-Tilton scandal has widened if possible the popularity of the great Ameri can sensational preacher, the Rev Henry Ward Beeeher, who has been accused of im proper intimacy with the wife of a Mr Tilton. This case has.been a god-send to the New York and American journals, and has afforded an immense amount of morbid excitement amongst hungry sensational readers who seem to have an inordinate craving for such periodical supplies. Mr Moulton informed the Com mittee of enquiry on the 13th August, that he had reconsidered the matter of pro ducing his statement, in connection with the affair, and that having so done he felt com* pelled from a sense of duty to the parties, to their controversy, and to himself, neither to make such a statement nor to produce docu ments in connection therewith. The documents in his possession had come to him in the most sacred confidence for the purpose of settling difficulties between them, and pre venting if possible, a knowledge of them coming before the public. The question for him to settle, and no other, was whether he ought to do anything to aid either party in a renewed controversy by the use of that which he received and had used only to promote harmony between the parties con cerned. It was resolved by the committee that Mr Winalow Bhould accompany Moul ton,- examine the documents, and verify his statement. The defence or explanation of Beecher in relation to the Brooklyn Scandal is full and ingenious, and would make eighteen closely - printed columns of news paper matter. We are unable, therefore, to give more than a summary of the leading points iv Beecher's elaborate statement. Four years ago Theodore Tilton fell from one of the proudest editorial chairs in America, where he represented the cause of religion, humanity and patriotism. In a few months thereafter he became the associate and re presentative of Victoria Woodhull and the friend of her strange cause. By his follies he was bankrupt in reputation and resources. Tilton then became intimate with Beecher, and endeavoured by his influence to win back his lost position in society k H& appears to have put on the garb of religion, and according to the statement lamented over his follies and extravagance. Beecher has since found out that Tilton's profession of piety was a sham, and he shews that he was a reckless selfish schemer from the first, and the charges against Beecher were fabricated for gaining power over Beecher, and making use of him for his own selfish mercenary ends. Beecher sa,ys that amid these difficulties I felt that secret machinations were going on around me, and stories of the vilest slander' concerning me were heard in unexpected quarters; when some bf my near relatives were set against me, and the tattle Of a crowd of malicious women hostile to me on other grounds was poured into my ear; when I had lost every remnant of faith in Theodore, when I heard with unspeakable remorse pi the first attack from Tilton, I, without con sulting Moulton, called for a thorough investigation by a committee of my church. >Beecher proceeds to say that the time has arrived when he can fully speak in vindica tion of hia conduct; bnt he labours under disadvantages in the matter of dates and de tails of facts in connection with the case. He had also been singularly burdened with literary and ministerial duties, which fell upon him in thte care of a* great church ; hence he says, with the necessity of explain ing actions and letters, resulting from com plex influences, I find myself in a position where I know my innocence without being able to prove it without detailed explaining. I am one upon whom trouble works inwardly, and when at length I do speak it is a pent-tip Hood, and pours forth without measure or moderation. I inherit a tendency to sadness, the remains in me of positive hypochondria in my father and grandfather, «Hid in certain moods of reaction the V, orld seems black, and I see some of my letters to Moulton reflect this, and he at times leproved me for it. The preacher then refers more particularly to the infamous charge preferred against him by Tilton, which charge caused him to feel pro found sorrow, and he blamed himself for the disaster the disclosures would bring upon Tilton's wife and family. He says : I have not the light which analyzes and disseminates things. By one blow there opened before me a revelation full of anguish. An agonized family, whose inmates had been my friends greatly beloved; the husband ruined in Worldly prospects; a household crumbling to pieceß j the "woman, by long sickness and Buffering, either compelled to deceit, as her husband alleged, or so broken in mind as to be irresponsible; and either way it was her enthusiasm for the pastor, as I was made to believe, that was the germ and beginning of the trouble. It was for me to have fore stalled and to have prevented that mischief. My age and experience in the world should have put me on my guard. I could not at that time tell what was true and what was not true of all considerations urged upon me by Tilton and Moulton. He wrote several letters in order to conciliate the man and his wife; but without the de- Bired effect, and he subsequently undergoes a number of singular sensations which he describes. He thought first of apoplexy, and then of sudden death. On two or three occasions he Bays :—While preaching, I should have fallen in the pulpit if I had not held on to the table. Very often I came near falling in the streets, During the last fifteen years I have gone into the pulpit, I suppose one hundred times with a very strong im pression that I should never come out of it alive. I have preached more sermons than any human person would believe when I felt that all the while that whatever I had to say to my people, I must say it then, or I would have another chance to say it If I had consulted a phy ■*—sician his first advice would have . been, "You must stop work." But I -.was in such a situation that I could not stop S^-te'K. I feel that I have more than once already been near the stroke that would have killed or paralyzed me, and I- carry with me a°f» « I have bo often carried in yewa b«forc tyiia troupe. Jwgan, the daily

thought of death as the door which might open for me at any moment, out. | of all caves and labors, into welcome rest! He dilates upon the extension of the scanda by a Mrs Woodhull, who in IS7I advertised a forthcoming article shadowing an account of a disturbance in Tilton's family, but with out using names. He also presided at Mrs Woodhull's lecture—a lady who held extra vagant notions on woman's rights and mar riage. He took much trouble to prevent the the spread of the scandal, and at great length details his plan of preventing it; but he failed. He concludes by urging upon the committee to make a full investi gation of the sources of the serious charge against him, in which the happiness of his and other families and the peace of his own church are involved. I have wished the investigation to be so searching that nothing could unsettle its results. I have nothing to gain by any policy of suppression or compromise. For four years I have borne and suffered enough, and I will not go a step further. I will be free. I will not walk under a rod or yoke. If any man would do me a favor, let him tell all he knows now. It is not mine to lay down the law of honor in regard to the tise of other persons' confidential communications, but, in so far as my own writings are concerned, there is not a letter or document which I am afraid to have exhibited, and I authorise any and call upon any living person to produce and print forth with whatever writings they have of any source whatever. It is time, for the sake of decency and public morals, that this matter be brought to an end. It is an open pool of corruption, exhaling deadly vapors. For six weeks the nation has risen up and sat down upon a scandal. The veiled lady who testified before the Committee was the adopted danghter of Tilton. The Brooklyn JBaffle,this afternoon, says that when she lived in Tilton's house hold, Tilton, having become a free-lover, at tempted to debauch her ; he forced his way into her bed-room several times during his wife's absence, and the girl alaimecl thehouse-

hold and escaped his loathsome embraces. She finally left the house, and afterwards told Tilton's wife what occurred. She Was subsequently induced to sign a statement denyiDg that it ever occurred, and Tilton sent her out to school, Moulton paying her tuition and board, •it is suggested with Beecher's money. This is her story as related to the committee.

August 17. —The Pacific mail steamer Guatemala has been totally wrecked ashore. No lives lost.

Lord Gordon shot himself in Canada, after being arrested by English detectives. Further Indian disturbances are reported. A special from Newton, Kan., says Captain Hanahan's company of militia returned to Fort Dodge, and that they had killed nine Commanches on Canadian river, on whose bodies ft number of white scalps were found. Colonel Davidson, commanding at Fort Sill, Indian Territory, reports that two men were recently killed near Elm Spring Station, and that the farmers in Washita Valley are frightened, and that many of them are leaving their farms.

The night express from Boston to Montreal was wrecked a few miles north of Richfofcl, Vt. The following persons are repotted killed : Engineer Larcot, roadmaster C. S. Harris, conductor Quimby, the fireman, and a little girl. A wrecking train ami two physicians have gone to the scene of th« dis aster. More than fcweiifcy persons arS reported injured. The greatest excitement prevails in Cin cinnati over the burning, of the steamboat Fat Rogers near .Aiirora, Indiana. The fire occurred at o o'clock a.m. It originated in a bale of cotton, and before it was discovered it was unfortunately past extinguishing. Attempts were made to get. th<; steamer ashore, but they' proved unavailing. A panic occurred among the passengers and crew, and they were only able to save themselves. The loss of life is now put at thirty-five persons. The lost are men, women, and children. Professor Wise and his balloon, which started from Stratford, rose steadily until it reached an altitude of 13,000 feet, when the great eastern current was struck, which carried the balloon along until the gas commenced to escape. A descent w,as rnarte, and terra .fir&A reached aoout eight miles Jroiii where the ascension was made. The balloon was a small one, holding about 70,000 feet of gas. Henrietta WaibeL aged fifteen1} wani arresSed^ oil a charge of attempted murder and incendiarism, she having on Wednesday night attempted to burn the infant \ child of Mrs Frarick, a boarder at the Leopold Palace Hotel, and afterwards made two en deavours to set fire to the house. The baby was lying asleep when the girl set fire to the bedclothes. Another servant extinguished the flames, but the little child was nearly suffocated. The girl confessed her guilt, and said she had a mania for burning children and houses. It is said that last Spring she attempted to burn the baby of Mr Kelly, of Tremont, and it is said that she was formerly employed by Uhling the brick-laden v cofnn conspirator. Montreal (Canada), July 21.—The local Government of this province has been dis covered in a fraud which is second only to the Pacific Railroad scandal of the United States, of Credit Mobillier notoriety, in its enormity. Some time ago three members of the Cabinet met in secret conclave in this city, and very quietly swapped a piece of Government land, worth some 230,000d015, for another plot, the outside value of which could not exceed 40,000d015. This transac tion leaked out, and several indignation meetings have been held here and in Quebec The members of the Cabinet who are charged with this fraud are Solicitor-General Chapel, 1 Quimet, and Archambel. Archamel to-day i resigned his position in the Cabinet, having ! come to the conclusion that that was the only course which was open foe him. It is rumoured that the Premier Commissioners of Crown Land 3 and President of Council will follow suit. There is a great excitement 1 throughout the provinces, and we Canadians, I who have always boasted of the honesty of 1 our Government and the purity and superi -1 ority of our institutions, are beginning to | feel that we are getting no better than our 1 neighbours. - Two trains on the Grand Trunk Railroad collided at Fort, killing three persons. The j accident occurred while a long tram of •gravel cars were being run into a sand-pit, while a train already loaded was coming out., The First National Bank of Ontanp was robbed of 10,000 dols.

LATEST SOUTHERN NEWS.

SIR CRACROFT WILSON AND HIS

CONSTITUENTS,

HE COUNSELS ARMED PROTECTION

OF THE LAND FUND.

CHRISTCHURCH

This day. ggSir Cracroft Wilsorjaddressed his con-ti tuents last night. A Jarge portion of his address was occupied with a defence of his action in voting for the abolition bf the Northern provinces. He contended that the provinces of Otago and Canterbury were the only ones that should be permit* c 1 to exist, and that they should be abolished as soon as their laud funds are exhaus'el. The step taken Was a wise one and he con gratulated all New Zealand on it. He hoped they would continue in the same path. It had been saidgthe resolutions meant loss of land fund to the Middle Island but he failed to see that connection between provin cial institutions and the land fund which necessitated the loss of the latter if the former were abolished. If the land fund was to be kept when raised what matter whether by the Provincial Council or municipality or Road Beard. The Premier solemnly declared all the land fund should belong to the locality wero raised. It had been said they couldjnot trust him. Now it ; was strange they should trubt M r Vogel so far as they had and then as soon as he wanted to abolish provincial institutions turn upon him and say ho was not to be trusted. He (the Bpeakei) thought the Premier rash but never thought him dis honest; Butj he aaid " even supposing Mr Vogel was so base and obtained a majority to back him, would the people, if Canterbury and Otago be so foolish, as permit the spoilia tion of the land fund. He said ' in addition to the compact of 1856 the South Island paid one million sterling as consideration for the peaceable possession of the land fund of the South Island. Were the inhabitants of the South Island such miserable poltroons as to sit still under such spoliation ? Should we not rather warn the ministry ami North Island that it would bring about a revolution with arms in hand nuoh gross violation (cheers), and the result would bs that Ofcago and Canterbury would retain not only the land fund, but the customs Excise duties which were worth half milllion per"annum. (Applause) Depend upon it Ministers, though in my opinion have beon foolishly rash, are not so rash as to arouse the people of the South Island to defend their rights by aimed resistance, and I for one should be prepared to continue the struggle to the bitter end. (Oh !Oh ! and laughter.) lam not speaking in joat; Ido not jest on such serious subjects. Apart altogether from the question of provincial instiautioDS, I would prevent one sixpence of the land fund being taken against our free will and consent, if rebellion and even resistance had to be employed to protect it. (Hear, hear; Laughter and cheers.) A vote of confidence waa unanimously passed to Sir Cracroft. Mr Montgomery, M.H;R., addressed_ the electors In the town hall, Akai:oa, last night. There was a large attendance. The Super intendent was present. The address lasted for nearly two hours on the question of the abolition of the provinces. He spoke Strongly ftgaiEst. no large a constitu tional change .being introduced with out the people being first consulted. Be contrasted the General Government expen diture with the Provincial, and the results derivable therefrom, alleging that Mr Vogel would not get less expensive or more efficient machinery. He contended again that the country should have the opportunity of properly expressing its opinion by a dissolu tion. This Was received with loud cheers. A unhiiimous vtfte of thanks was passed to Mr Montgomery.

THE MACGREGOR AND THE CLAIMS OF THE A.S.P. CO.

This morning Mr Lodder, oh behalf of the A.S.P. Company, waited upon Captain Grainier and preferred a claim of £271 8s 9d* against the vessel for servic33 rendered by the steamship Star of the South to the Macgre°or while on the reef at Kandavu. We understood thifl morning that the result of the interview was satis factory, but later on we have received in formation that Captain Giamgfer refuses to concede the demands of the rompnnv, and that the company hava phced the matl^r in the hands of Mr Whisker, wno, it is understood, in the event of no settlement being come to before the hour named for the vessel's departure—-12 o'clock to-night—will lodge a detainer ag unst her.

Funeral of Mr Beveridge.

The funeral of the late Provincial Solicitor, Mr Andrew Beveridge, took place this after noon. The prominent position which the decessed gentleman held during his life in the Provincial Government, in society, and in the Order of Masons (Mr Beveridge was D P G.M. of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Scotland) imparted to the burial the features of a public funeral. Its publi city was futhermore augmented by the wide spread respect and esteem in which. Mr Beveridge was hell. At a quarter-past eleven the Golden Crown arrived from the Thames, which was left at half-past seven, bringing up a large crowd of passengers from the goldtields. Forming a conspicuous part of these were 91 members of the Masonic order, who came to assist at the funeral, and to evince by their attend ance in such large numbers them general respect they bore for their deceased brother. These consisted of 56 brethren of the Sir Walter Scott Lodge (S.C.), under W. McCullough, master, and 35 members of the Lodge of Light (S.C.), under S. Young, master. ~ , * The following were the office-bearers or the Thames brethren :—Lodge of Light- Worshipful Master, S. Young, Esq. ; Senior Warden, Oliver Garrett,, Esq. ; Junior War den, Hymans, Esq.; Deacons, -Messrs Blott and* Mills ;• Stewards, Messrs Drake and Fergusson; Past Masters Clymo, Lipsey, Wildman, and Mitchell; Marshall, Mr Hosborogh. Sir Walter Scott Lodge—W. McCullough, Esq., W.M. ; Messrs Brodie and Dewar, Past Masters; Mr Airey, Senior Warden; Mr Plumridge, Junior Warden. These set out from the Masonic Hotel at half-past two, and proceeded to the Kyber Pass Road,. where they met the funeral cortege at Secombe's brewery. The Auckland members of the brotherhood met at the Star Hotel, Albert-street, to the number of about 150 under Worshipful Grand Master M. Niccol. These marched in pro cession to the railway station, where a special train was awaiting them, by wbiob they we*Mi out to itearaera/

The following was the Masonic ceremonial employed on the occasion.

The Masonic Ceremonial,

The brethren of St Andrew's, 41S, 5.0., and of the Thames Lodges assembled at the Lodge Room, Star Hotel ; the brethren of Lodges under Fnglish and Iri3h Constitutions at the Lodge Room, Masonic Hotel, at a quarter before two o'clock. The brethren having assembled, the R.W.M.^ opened the Lodge irj the Third Degree. *After the object of the meeting had been stated, the Chaplain or Master began the Service as follows : —■

Service tn the Lodge Booivr.

I. If a man die, shall he live again ?

Response. —The dust shall return to the earth as it was, and the Spirit to God who gave it. 11. When he dieth, shall he carry any thing away with him ? Kcxponse'.— He brought nothing into the world, and it is certain he can carry nothing out.

111. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

Response.— God is our God for ever. He will be our guide and support through the dark valley of the shadow of death. Grand Honours.

Prayer by thk R.W.M. or Chaplain. The brethren assembled at St. Andrew's, then" proceeded to Princes-street, and there joined with the other lodges in the following order : —

Junior lodges in front, Scotch lodges taking precedence. Tyler, with a drawn sword. Master Masons. Senior and .Junior Deacons. Secretary and Treasurer. Senior and Junior Wardens- Past Masters. Bible Bearers. The Master.

On arriving at the grave the following ser vice was performed : — Address by the R.W.M. or Chaplain.

Master.— May we be true and faithful, live and die in love, for the memory of the just is'blessed.

Response, —So mote it be. Master. —The Lord bless us and keep us— the Lord make his face to shine upon us, and bo gracious unto ua — the Lord lift upon us the light of His countenance, and give us peace, Response —So mofe it be. All.- Glory be to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men. Prayer by1 tots Chaplain.

Tho brethren then passed round the grave and dropped the evergreen. The brethren returned to their Lodges in reversed order, and closed the Lodge. The funeral cortege left the house of the deceaaed gentleman shortly after three o'clock, the procession being a very long one and swelling in it# proportions as it moved forward. By the time that it had arrived near tho cemetery it consisted of over a thou sand mourners—some in carriages, some on horseback, and some on foot. The Masons made an imposing show. Some of the officers carried drawn swords with sprigs of ncacia ornamenting the hilts. The cemetery itself was densely crowded about the entrance. The Rev. T). Bruce performed the burial service, in which the simple ritual of the Presbyterian Church and tbe ample ceremonial of the Masonic order were intermingled. His Honor the Superintendent, and the Provincial Secretary and Treasurer followed the corpse to the grave. The late hour at which the sad ceremony took place precludes us giving more than this brief outline of the obsequies of a good citizen and a kind-hearted sympa thetic man. We notice that the principal offices and houses of business in the city were closed, or partly closed, out of respect to the decased. The flags of the vessels in harbour were half-mast high.
