yo» the- causo that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs tesistance, For the future in the distance, Aod the good that wo can do.

I.T will surprise our readers to learn that before the question of immigration hat) ceased to occupy the deliberations of our rulers, a movement in the opposite direction has already bcon begun. By the City of New York yosterday arrived Captain !i. W. Mist, a gentleman who is authorised by the Hawaiian Government to make arrange ments here arid in the Friendly Islands for the deportation of sonic thousands of Maoris and Tongans to the Sandwich Islands, in order to reinstate the rapidly diminishing jiopuhition there. We should imagine that Captain Mist will find the Government of New Zealand very willing to assist liini in carrying out lii- ini;-;stoii. In fact it is pos sible that they may devise from this new enterprise a happy thought in reference to the solution of the native diHiculty. < lould not King Tawhaiao and his niyrinidons, Puiukutn, Te Kooti, and Wininta, and the discontented tribes who [loriodieally assemble and hir their yrievimce.s at iliku rangi and Te Ivuiti, and are continually repelling nil advances on the part of their would-be civilizers by the cry of "Give us back Waikato," —could not these amiable gentry be persuaded that the Sandwich Islands are a perfect nigger Utopia, when: there is any amount, of land for them to settle on. and "lashions" of rum and whisky to d'-ink, and no-hvork toj do? If Captain Mist Avill only imbue them with this belief, and get thorn to take ship for Honolulu with their tomahawks, blankets, waihenas, and piccaninnies*, we believe that the General Assembly would readily a round sum to give them a part ing present, in the shape of a good lump of tobacco, and a gallon of grog each to amuse them on their voyage, and live pound note to upend when they yet to their new home. If the scheme can only bo Rucees.sfu.Uy cazried out, we will engage that no more fervent "God speed" will ever accompany the departing guests than will '«c uttered wken the last of their dusky backs is soon.

Owing to pressure on space by mail matter, lending articles, Police Court, and other local matter is held over.

A great deal of mystification and some amusement ha* been caused in town to-day by the sudden appearance on the walls and hoardings of our city of a large poster bill, on which is inscribed in prominent letters . The man who hJyos larpro Ainner-part.iee and does not pay his baker's bill is a SNOB. Such a case occurred only ii few days a.i?o. " J-iOt tho galled .iado whioo, our withers arc unwrung." - Shakespeare. "Whom the placard refers to, and ]>y whom it is posted, arc uuosticms which no one seems able to ansv <>:. We noticed one goutleumn road it thi.. morning, and, from the sudden Hush which irounted to his cheeka, and the hasty irritable initnnot with which he resumed hiu walk, we at once came to tho concliiuiou that lie was the guilty party, hut, curiously enough, the very next gentleman acted in precisely the same way, and so we were all abroad again. One thing ik certain, tUr*t whomsoever it is aimed at, it will bit a graat many besides. One very general conjecture is that it is a "squib," aimed ni one of the candidates for the forthcoming municipal elections ; and only this morning we hoard half-a-dozen members of the Stock Exchange carefully jjoing down the names one after another, and seriously debating which waa the likeliest offender. We shall be happy to explain the mystery, but at presont our readers are aa wise an ourselves.

A manlier of petty thefts have recently been committed tit public Bale-rooms, which should bo nofcioed in order that persons may be on their {juard, and look to their pockets. Yesterday, a parson lost the sum of £14, and other pilferinga of a like nature have been quietly performed, it is supposed, by women and children. This practice is very common in London, in crowded places, but compartively new in Auckland.

We direct attention to our third page for particulars o€ Sunday services to be held in the various* Auckland churches to-morrow (Sunday). The people's evening service will be held at the usual hour, in the Theatre Royal. The anniversary services of the Union-atroet Wesleyan Sunday school will also be held to-morrow; preachers, Revs. W. L. Salter and Thomas Buddie.

The particulars oi a somewhat peculiar and yet, perhaps, not altogether uninterest ing case were forwarded to us yoatorday, through a correspondent, shewing that cyoji Constabulary officers cannot exercise that despotic pOMrer which would, doubtless, be agreeable to some of them. Our correspon dent says: —"Two constables were dis charged upon a trivial charge at Cambridge on the sth instant, and, after receiving their discharge and pay, repaired to the Telegraph Oiiicc to communicate with absent friends ; when, to prove the truth of the old saying " Malheur ne vieut jamais seul," a sub-inspector, accompanied by a sergeant-major, came into the olftoe, and, after closing the door upon them and civi lians inside, the officer explained that he had missed «oino money, and suspected them of stealing it. He then ordered the sergeant-major to search the men, without either warrant or authority, except, of course, his rank as sub-inspector. The men submitted and acquiesced to this iixlignity, and wore then marched to the bar racks, where they found it was not the officer but one of their late comrades who had lost a sum of money. The constable positively affirmed it had been .stolen from his clothes whilst he was being paid. As, however, he went and searched in the scrub he was working in the day previous, tkis story appears rather unlikely. The boxes and bedding belonging to the two men were then searched, without finding the missing money. Suffice it, however, to say that the ex-constables have had legal advice upon the matter, and finding they have the game [a their own hanV.3, " have proceeded to Auckland, where they hsfceml to got justice tor the insult dealt upon thorn.

The Union-street Wesleyan Sabbath School holds ita anniversary to-morrow. The sermons will be preached in the mom iug at 11 o'clock by Mr Salter, evening at 6.30 by Rev. Thomas Buddie. An address to parents and children will be given in the afternoon at 3 o'clock by Mr Salter. Collections are in aid of the school.

The teachers of the Wasleyan Sunday school, Fonsouby, present their sincere thanks to those friends who so kindly sup ported them at the late literary entertain ment. It cannot but be gratifying to them to know that their timely assistance enabled the committee to purchase 144 extra volumes for the School Library (which now contains over 300 books), besides adding to their stock of school requisites, prizes, &c.

The principle part of the evidence at the inquest on the body of the late Mr John Carlisle, before Dr. Philson and a jury, appeared in our last issue. Dr Stockwell gave evidence as to the nature of the m juries, and expressed surprise that the unfortunate man lived so lon.u;. lie made a post mortem examination of the body, described the result, and was of opinion that death was caused by the accident. Mr Owen Jones described the accident: lie was only a few yards from deceased when the bucket struck him obliquely. He could not attribute blame to any one. Carlisle was a particularly cautious man. Mr Errington, engineer, also gave evidence, and considered that a spring hook would be safer than the one m use. Tho jury re turned a verdict of "Accidental death," recommending the use of the spring hook as suggested by the engineer.

The Temperance Variety Troupe will give another of their mixed entertainments this evening:, in the Temperance Hall, Albert-street, according to their published programme, closing with the farce of th« " Lawyer's 1>0.y."

ONEHUNGA PUHLICAXS' FEES

Mr O'Rorke asked dlio Colonial Trea surer iriiy money received by the Govern metit ten mouths ago for public licenses has not yet been handed over to the Boroughs entitled to receive Die name. Mr O'Korke said he presumed that all the Boroughs would be treated alike ; therefore, lie made the question general. It was desirable that money should bo paid to local bodies aw soon as possible, «o that they might be able to calculate with some amount of certainty on the execution of necessary works.

The Premier ropJied that the money did not filter through the hands of the Govern ment. He had received a letter from tliu Borough of Oueluin<*a, complaining of not lutvin^ received the funds, flc referred to the Collector of Customs, and found that tiie Borough being a new one, the Collector had paid the money to the Eden County fund. The Government had since taken steps to have the money paid over imme diately.

FRAN ICING LETT^ajS. Mr Swanson asked the Government whether local bodies addressing the Govern ment on questions affecting the public service must pre-pay their latter!?. .The correspondence often put local bodies to a great expcn.se for postage.

The Postal Conmiisioner replied that any public body may send letters free by mark ing " Ou public service only."

COLONEL WHITMOKE'S LETTER TO

SIR GEORGE GREY.

The letter of Colonel Whitmoro to Sir George Grey may be explained as follows : The natives offered .Sir George Grey, when Governor, to lei their runs under short leases, and ho proposed to establish a city in Taupo district. He also proposed to station a regiment of Imperial troopa in another part of Taupo district. He hoped that constant traffic between the cent-re of the country and the coast would civilise and settle the natives. An Imperial officer then on service in the colony, wrote privately to Lord Carnavon, stating that Sir George Grey would provoke a war. Earl Camavou, conrtary to official rule, received the letter and wrote to Sir George Grey forbidding the proposed scheme. This Avas one of the reasons of Sir George Grey's removal from the Governorship. When Sir George Grey proposed to transfer the proposals he hud no idea that Messrs Russell and Whitakor were interested. Me only dealt with Mr Cox and Colonel Whitmorc. The idea was nofe to obtain largo tract-- of land,but only to lease for runs and ostablisli a great inland town. HOW THE LETTERS WEBE OB TAINED. During the debate in tlic Hawke-'a Bny Lands Question, Mr Pyke, who last year was Government whip, and has hitherto been a strong supporter of the Govern ment, commentod on the manner in which Mr Cox acted, in haring got possession of the private letters of Mr Locke. Mr Pyke said Mr Cox's excuse was that he desired to read them be cause lie wanted to turn up something in connection with the former- association for the purchase of native land?.. He after wards handed those letters to the Attorney- O'Mioiul, without thtMiorririssio'.i of die writer

or the person to whom they were written. The Attorney-General had no scruples about using these private and confidential letters in the House. He regretted that he belonged to such a Parliament of New Zea land —respected once, it had now incurred contempt. There was no excuse for such a gross violation of all gentlemanly taste as this oilence. In hi.s opinion it could only be properly visited by expulsion from Parliament, expulsion from the Govern ment benches, and expulsion from the society of gentlemen. It was a most iin pardonable offence. No gentleman would do it. The honour of the House had been out raged by reading private letters surrep titiously obtained. Mr Russell never con ' aented to the production of the letters in the House, but as quotations had been made from them it; is only fair, right, and just that the House should have the whole of the letters before it, so that it might judge on which side was truth, and on which falsehood.

Mr Macfarlane considered tlie letters wore not private, but the property of a pub lic association. Mi1 Gisborns, who had moved the ad journment, now wished to withdraw the amendment, tfoo Government were the only persons ■who opposed it, but as the rule is that a motion cannot be withdrawn unless all consent, permission was not grunted. Sir SwansoH .moved that Mr Locke be summoned to the bar of the House, in order to state what his wishes were in re gard to the letters. A quarter of an hour was spent in raising pointß of order. The Speaker gave tiie Government a dignified rebuke when he said it was con tradictory for the Government now to object to the publication of the letters when they had already quoted them.

Mr Whitaker objected to the letters being regarded us Government papers. He hail never seen them. If the lldu.se thought there had been :i mistake, let it authorise the hitters to be taken of'" the table, and placed in his hands. [Jut as Government papers, ha refused to liavc anything to do with tlieni.

Mr Fisher said'tho letters had been used by Mr Ormand to cast a slur on .Sir George drey. Someone had talked about a stench in the House, lie <lid not wondor at it. He considered the conduct of the Govern ment scandalous. Me had heard a great deal about Provincial Institutions: but he never saw anything in Provincial Councils like that he had heard last night.

Mr Montgomery said that tho Govern nvent were responsible for the papers.

Mr Kees said that before the letters were read, he demanded them, oji Mr Lo«k's be half, from Ministers ; and they refused to

give thoin up. The Speaker read a letter from the Hon. Henry Ltussell, protesting against, the letter's being read. The letters had been laid «n I.lks table of Us: House by the Attorney-General without his permission.

The Speaker then continued : These letters have no business cm the table of this House. They do riot belong to this House. They are no longer in possession of this House. Mr Travers said in' attached no import since whatever to the charges against Sir George (.'.vy. The use of the letters by Mr Onnond was a gro.-w violation of conli dor.ee. Karaitnua made several attacks on Mr Ormoisd, asserting :ha( lie had acquired lands in the Forty-mile Bush by giving natives rum and sugar. He also attacked Captain Itusscll's acquisition of Here taunga. Ultimately tho House adjourned until A STINK IN THE HOUSE. Last nielli during the heat of debate many honorable members were 6een hold ing their nostrils, and with their handker cliiff.-:' to their nose.-.. At first people thought the disgust w:is caused by Mr (Jrmoud's speech and the charges thing about generally. Yesterday the stench formed t'-.e subject of frequent reference in the debute. The Premier said he would consent'to ad jounnnent until half-pastseven, on the understanding that if that horrible stink was not removed he would move a further adjournment. An exploring party iii" messengers afterwards discovered that the stink was caused by an escape of g;is under tho llonr of the Mouse. But this is nothing to <!::• escape of ;::ts above th..- I'oor of tin: ILo'.ist; ; and the worst ot it is, the public: has to pay for IkiUi kinds of gas. Sill GEORGE GREY'S REPLY. After the adjournment Sir George Grey replied, ily solicitai ions ho liail obtained a prumi.se from the Home Government of an elective Upper House. A change of Government U»ok place at home, and they threw the proposals overboard. Lie had to bear the odium of the proposal for a long time, but subsequently list! facts betaine known, and t'ne odium was re moved. The moineuthe prevented the supply i»i" arms and ammunition to the natives, h'.; waai subjected to [obloquy. Soon after he left, tho restriction was taken oiF. The Governor in the colony had to stand between races with arms in their hands, and to do justice, and he could hardly escape the ac cusation of partiality, lie cited as an exam ple of such accusations, letters which ho had received in consequence of his advocacy of a modification in the Education Bill. He read the following : -" Respected Sir,— Many of your admirers and confidential supporters hoped from your long experience you would not be induced to be the tool and agent to serve liomo. For vrhet'e Liome thrives, there has always been a blight up«n the path of the country, i

tiign myself, Patiuot." lie defended him self from the charges made by Mr Ormond that resolutions had been passed by Messrs Weld, Clifford, and Pox, accusing him (Sir George Grey) of falsehood. .Those accusations had never hurt him. lie was one of those whom providence had blessed since he entered the public service with the faculty of seeing the approval of his actions in the eyes of the people. It" Messrs Weld, Clifton, and Fox had left on record resolu tions against him he wjls not sorry. He pitied them ;he had experienced many acts of kindness from Messrs Weld and Clifford since, and f&it sure that if they knew those resolutions were in existence they would regret it.

When the Hoiwe resumed last night the odours of carbolic acid wore frightfully strong, and completely killed the stench. Sir George Grey delivered a quiet, gentleinnuly speech. Me appeared to speak with considerable emotion —slowly, and occasionally painfully. The speech was calculated to mouse sympathy, and appeal to the liner feelings, fie denied complicity with the Taupo laud ring for personal objects. Why endeavour to be a partner in 300,000 acres when lie could have got all himself ? Mr Ownond's statement was palpably false. He read Colonel Whituiore's letter amidst loud cheers. [The letter was published in bust night's Sstae.] lie never had purchased one acre of native land in the colony. With refer ence to his election defeat in England, lie said he could have been elected for Notting ham if ho had been willing to sink prin ciples. Influences iwere used against him in the eleotion for France. Mr Ormond had said that Mr lieen was returned to do his (Sir Georga Grey's) dirty work. What had the thousand electors of City East with their families, done to deserve Mr Onnoud's insults. Mr Ormond luid taunted Mr Rees that he wits not a wealthy man—was that au argument worthy of a A Sinister of the Crown? It was low minded. Only a fow days ago, Mr iieos, aupposing that hi.*, independent course hail alienated .some of his (Sir G. Grey's) supporters, offered to state in the iiimsG that under no circumstances woul.l he accept office. Mayy people advised Mr Rees to retire from politics, arid make money by his profession, but he refused. When ministers weiv accused in the House of light crimes and misdemeanours, Minis ters taunted their accusers with poverty. Ministers were guilty of crimes which wrong their fellow men. Ho related a story of Grindle when sent by 2dv Ormond to make a native drunk to get him to sign

a deed. Both got too drunk to transact the business. The Government were endeavouring to set great laud owners against him. He did not oppose land lawfully acquired. He ripped up the case of Paora, of Hawke's Bay. He was not afraid of inquiry into the charges against him. Let the House grant it if they thought proper. (Great cheering.) Mr Sutton defended the Hawke's Bay land transaction. Ho traversed the same ground as Mr Ormond. Mr Stout accused Captain Holt of import ing political bias against Sir George Grey into Press Agency telegrams. Ministerial organs were instigated to abuse Sir George Grey. They contained ORe-sided reports. Colonel Balnea vis'name was only mentioned as Sir George Grey's agent when dead, and he had no opportunity of contradicting. Colonel Whitmore's letter showed that the Attorney-General waa a party to the rob bing of hi* fellowmen. Sir George Grey had no complicity.

The Attorney-General: I contradict it.

Mr Wakefield "order."

The Attorney-General: If the lion, mem ber for Gerakline cannot behave himself he should be taught.

Mr Wakefield said that the continual unseemly interruptions of the Attorney- General prevented members healing.

Mr Stout continued : When Sir George Grey read Colonel Whitmore's letter, why did not Mr Ormond confess lie was mis-in formed ? Mr Ormond: I was not, Mr Stout : Then you charge Colonel Whitmo-re with falsehood. Mr Ormond : I do not. Mr Stout : Then you admit the letter true. Mr Ormond : No ; I don't. (Loud laugh ter.) Mr Stout continued : He quoted from the report of the ITeretaunga Commission. Manama was paid principally in grog. A person named F. Sutton lighted a lamp in a buggy, which a chief drove in broad day light. ' Mr Sutton : £1,400 cash was paid on ac count of the purchase. .Mr Stout : i was not previously aware that the hon. member was the Sutton re ferred to. (Great laughter.) tie (Mr Stout) waa not addressing the House. It was no use. It was all arranged in the lobbies. tie was speaking to the great mass of tha people outside. He defended Sir George Grey. Mr Seymour moved an amendment: " That a committee be appointed to inquire irAo the allegationsagaiustSir George Grey and Mr Ormond!; also, the alleged inipro prities in law proceedings. Mr Stout contended the amendment was out of order. The Speaker ruled he was in order. Mr Stout respectfully called atten tion to rule 110. The Speaker said Mr Stout was /ijjht. The amendment was out of order. M r Seymour disappeared into the library, and the friendly move was spoiled. Mr Ormond said the House was under a misconception. Mr Itecs : It was not the House, but the member for Clive. The Speaker called Mr Re s to order. Mil WHITAKEK'S VINDICATION. Mr Whitaker moved another amend ment, almost precisely similar to Mr Sey mour's, but couched ho as to be in order. Lie went on to shew that lie was never con nected with the alleged land ring in Hawke's ; Hay. He slated Mr Kces. He was refer -1 ving to Mr Ormonds' statement about Mr Rees running away from West Coast credi tors, when Mr Rees jumped up and em phatically denied it. DISORDERLY SCENE. A .scene or the wildest disorder ensued. i Both Mr Rees and Mr Whitaker used strong language. Mr itecs dared Mr Whitaker to use the language outside. Roth were called to order, and apologised. Scores of points of order were raised, some times several members rose together. The scene was worse than in any Road Board meeting. Mr Gisbornc protested against the private circumstances of members being dragged on the iloor of the House. The Speaker said such references were highly irregular, highly unparliamentary, and highly ungentlemanly. Mr Whitaker continued. Rle shewed that he had been subjected to strong personal attacks from the Opposition. Mr Whitaker, after a long burst of eloquence, got breathless, and heaved a deep sigh. Mr Rees laughed immoderately. Mr Whitaker : "I am glad to hear Mr ltees laugh when I sigh." Mr ilce^, interrogatively': ''Hearing badly, I sigh ?" Mr Whitaker severely slated Mr Kees, as having an unruly tongue. Mr Wakefield followed, in a scathing attack on the Ministry. He spoke of the " drifting and shifting of this miserable Ministry of shreds and tatters." He com pared Captain Russell to tlie little wooden soldier who popped up whenever the Government bull's-eye was hit by the Opposition. He repeated choice selections from the strong language used by Mr Ormond, "liars,"' ''cowards," '•traitors/ " Parliament insulted and outraged." The House divided nearly at one o'clock, on Mr Whitaker's amendment. Ayes, twenty-live ; Noes, twenty-six. DIVISION LIST. The division list on Mr Whitaker's amendment, was as follows : —Ayes, 25 : Atkinson, Bowen, Fitzroy. Gibbes, Henry (teller), Hunter, Hurathouse, Johnstone Kenny, Lumsder, Macfarlane, McLean, Moorhousc, Morris, Ormond, Reid, Rowe, Kussell, Seymour, Stevens, Sutton, Tawhiti, Whitaker, Williams (teller), Woolcock.

Noes, 26 : Baigent, Barff, J. C. Brown, Bunny, DeLntour, Dignan, Fisher, Gis bonie, Kislop, Lusk, Alaoandrew, Mont gomery, Nahe, O'JKorke', Kees, Seaton. Sheekaii (Teller), Stout (Teller), Swanson, Tairoa, Takamoana, Thomson, Tole, Travors, Wakefield, W. Wood.

Wlien Mr Whitaker's amendment was lost there was great cheering. The debate was prolonged until nearly two. It will be resumed on Monday.

(FRO3I OUR OWN COIUIKSPOKDEJIT.)

Lo>"DON, July 26th COLORADO BEETLE. Your Ratipo spider seems to be creating almost as great a sensation in America ay their Colorado beetle is in England. As for the beetle in question, we have him o ii the brain. Newspapers furbish u p anecdotes illustrative of his awful habits ■ he furnishes a standing fund for conversa tion at dull dinner parties ; from " Punch1' downwards. Ho supplies food for jokes innumerable, and at every turn lie stares at you from every wall and boarding— Uf c . size as well as magnified-— accompanied by a detailed account of his style of carrying on, all done in large type, and by order of the Government of England. There is no excuse for anyone who fails to recognise a Colorado beetle, so that we may hope he has not much of a chance of establishing himself as a permanent cettler in these realms.

THE LATEST NEW BONNET

is a caution, it is an imitation of the German military helmet, without the spike the result being cunningly contrived by means of tulle, flowers, &c. I hear it is to be all the go, and it is certainly an Kinnzing contrast to the Duchess of Devonshire style, -which prevailed last year. The only vestige of a brim is to be found in the peak which affords a little shade to the eyes. Of course I need not say that to a pretty face everything and anything is becoming, but the woist of these fashions is that every woman persists in following them out to the utmost, regardless of her natural advan tages or the opposite.

EARL BEACON SFIELD'S HEALTH

There hare been agigreat many rumours lately about Lord Bcaconsfield's health, and the probabilities of his resignation, but 1 don't belive there is anything at the bottom of them. We all know that at Ins age, and after his harding-working life, he must be comparatively feeble; but his soul is as big as ever, and until the Eastern question at any rate has been settled, his Lordship will never take his hand off the tiller. I am informed that the amount of work lie gets through is stupendous, and he receives enough dispatches in the course of each 24 hours to distract) any ordinary man. Nor must you suppose that his work is super ficial. Every dispatch is read to him, and he dictates a vast number of his replies him self. I don't think the most rabid Radical would like to sec a change just at present. SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE. In high life we have just had an awful scandal, in the elopement of the wife of Sir Charles Tempest with a Mr Hungerford. Sir Charles is a Roman Catholic, and re sides in Lancashire. His first wife died 12 years ago, and atjLthe age of 45 he again married ;i Miss Gordon, aged 19, whose

j father was a captain in the 42nd High- I landers. She is a most lovely woman ; ; indeed, quite celebrated for her beauty, and ■ the middle-aged baronet did not satisfy her | ambition, or longings, or whatever yon ' please to call it, .so she has fled with a. much I younger man, a Protestant, to which "per ! suasion she also belongs, the v Young j Lochnivar" being himself a married man. ! The most unhappy part of it is that Sir ' Charles, as a Romanist, cannot, according \ to his creed, sue for a divorce, which is very ! hard lines. Perhaps the worst feature in | the case is that another married lady in ; high Life was the chief aider and abettor of '•■ Lady Tempest in her adultery and-flight, ; and this fact having come to the knowledge |of her husband, for she boasted of her : share in it, he became so incensed that he j instituted steps for a separation. Here is j a peej) into a certain phase of fashionable , life which we will hope and believe is very ,' uncommon, although such folkas Bvadlaugn

and Co. would have us believe-that such things arc quite characteristic of the upper ten. The fact i.-s that it is one of the penalties of living within the charmed circle that every move of conse quence is watched, and quickly becomes; public property ; whilst Tom, Dick, and Harry of the hoi polloi may swap "wives once a week if they like, all the year round, and no one over knows, nor if he 'locs, cares the value of an imprecation of a peripatetic pot mender. THE MILITARY FIRING ON THE RIOTERS IN PITTSBURGH ■ The first loss of life in connection with the strikes occurred at Pittsburg. Large mobs of strikers had assembled in the street which the military ordered to disperse. The order was not complied with. When the regiment was inarching to the armory a volley of stones and brickbats was thrown by the crowd. At the first volley three privates of Company I and F. were felled to the ground in a senseless condition, and were borne back into the armory amid a ■ shower of stones. Companies I and F then filed in Front-street, and headed south t« ---| wards Baltimore-street. The assault by the ; crowd growing fiercer ,and Company B not yet being out of the armory, the former ■were halted to await the arrival of the lat ter. Colonel Peters and Major George at this time went to the head of their men endeavouring- to quell the riot, and restore order, the stones continuing to fall thick and fast. The men, without order!?, fired into the crowd, most of the guns being' elevated above their heads. By this vol ley, one man was killed, and several wounded. Col. Peters gave orders to cease firing, which was obeyed. Major Georgewas struck with two boulders on the breast and in the right leg, injuring him temporarily but nst seriously. An order was now given to march, and Companies I and Fproceeded along Front-street to Baltimore, into which they wheeled to the right. As they marched along Baltimore-street, -westward by Frederick,' Gtty, Holliday, Soirth and Caivert-streets, the storming was kept up unabated by the crowd, -which increased in number, and a number of pistol shots were 'fired at the men. Firing by the companies was re-commenced with stray shots, and continued at intervals until they reached Coleman and Itodgers' drug store.

The War.

THE BATTLE OF PLEV.NA

DISASTROUS RUSSIAN DEFEAT,

COUPvSE OF THE CAMPAIGN

Before the end of July, the Russians had concentrated 100,000 troops in the rieinrty of Plevna, and the Roumanian troop* which, were about to garrison Nicopeli* were deemed necessary. The investment of Rustchuk was also completed, the besiegers advancing- near enough to throw shells into the fortifications. Silistria was also being bombarded, causing .several fires in the town. On July 31st the Rus sian right wing. -ivyC-C/O strong, attacked Osman Pasha's entrenched army •» Plevna. London, August I.—The "Daily News; correspondent; telegraphing from Bulgarenij 15 miles from Plevna, gives a detailed account of the fighting of Monday. The Turkish force was estimated at 50,000. They occupied a series of positions which are naturally strong, and also artificially fortified hi every available spot, forming* horseshoe in front of Plevna, with both flanks resting on the river Yid. The Rus sian force consisted of the Ninth Army Corps, under General Krudcner ; the Thir tieth Division and Thirtieth Brigade of th« Serond Division, under Prince Shakesky, with three brigades of cavalry and lw> guns. It was" arranged that General Krudener should attack the Turkish centre at Grivica, and the northern flank of the intrenched position at Ehaova, while Shakesky attacked Eadizevo, and General Stuboloff held in cheek the strong Turkish force at Lovtza, which wus the extremity oi i\\c Turkish line.
