week buying ammunition, and declaringthrt any amicable settlement of the trouble k out of the question, From other advices, however, we learn it is probable that amicable counsels will prevail, and that the question will eventually, by consent of both parties, be investigated by one of the Gov ernment Judges. We earnestly trust that this question, which certainly appeared last week to be the first spark of .a general con flagration, will be thus easily settled. RELIGIOUS WAR AT ROTUMAH.

During the month of June a religious War raged between the Wesleyan and Catholic natives of Rotumah. A great number of both sides are reported to have been killed, bat at the time of the, departure of the Tongatabu fighting^ had subsidedj&nd the Wesleyans were proclaimed the victors. The fighting was said to have been carried on in regular civilized fashion, owing, we presume, to many of them having been abroad, and got somewhat civilized in their ideas of warfare. One of the British cruisers was daily expected to make inquiries about the matter. DYNAMITE FOR FISHING.

The natives will continue to use dyna mite for fishing purposes, notwithstanding the fearful loss of life and limb within the past two years. On Monday morning last a native, a member of the Faipule, named Mulipol'a, was catching fish by- using dynamite at Mauono, -when he, like many of his predecessors, blew himself up instead of the school of fish. His left hand and right thumb were shattered, and his face, chest, and left eye severely burnt. On Tuesday morning Dr Turner saAV the sufferer, and found it accessary to ampu tate the left hand above the wrist, in addition to which his right thumb and left -eye have suffered severely. • NEW AMERICAN CONSUL AT SAMOA.

TheSamoan " Times" says : T. M. Daw son, Esq., the gentleman who has been ap pointed to take charge of the American Consulate in this town, arrived per brigantine Meg Merillies, on Wed nesday last. Mr Dawson comes here well recommended from various quarters, and there is every appearance that the United States Government have got hold of the right man this time." The same journal contains anything but a complimentary reference to the departure of Mr Dawson's predecessor at the Consulate. U. S. NAVAL STATION AT TUTUILA

The U. S. war steamer Adams left here for Tutuila on Tuesday last, her mission being, we believe, to survey the harbour of Pagopago, which the Sarnoans, according to the terms of the treaty, have ceded to the American Government. We are led to believe that the Tutuila people, who are, of course, the mojst interested parties, object to this portion of the treaty, which never received their consent; and it will not be surprising if it is the cause of more trouble amongst the natives.

The Storm and Floods in the South.

Further telegrams from the South give details of the flood on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. At Balclutha (Otago), situ ated on flat land in the bend of the Clutha River, the river overflowed the town. Gangs of men were employed to prevent the water from getting into the township, Dut the river obtained the mastery, and its waters rushed into the township. The Post-office wjis surrounded, and a strong current flowed past. A great portion of the township was under water, the main street like.a river. The inhabitants moved goods, furniture, etc., to places of safety. Inch-clutha was nearly submerged, and also much of the surroundtng land. The ordinary channel of the river was obliter ated. The water in some of the principal streets-ttrs up to the saddle-flaps. All the inhabitants cheerfully assisted each other. At Clyde, Lawrence, and Cromwell, in Otago, the flood was destructive. The bridge at Clyde was seriously damaged. Christchurch, Hokitika, and Reefton telegrams report the rivers flooded, and in land traffic stopped.

Sudden Death.

ANOTHER instance of the uncertainty of life occurred this mornirig at the Governor Browne Hotel. About a fortnight ago, a settler from Matakohe, named_ HauJder shaw, came to Auckland for medical advice, and placed himself under the care of Dr. Kennedy. He was suffering from erysipelas in the face. Within the last few days he appeared to be improving, and nothing to indicate the near approach of death was apparent last evening when he retired to rest. This morning, however, finding that he did not come down at his usual time to breakfast, the housemaid knocked at nine o'clock, at his bed-room door, but receiving no answer she opened it slightly. On look farther, she observed the body of Haulder shaw lying on the floor. Dr. Kennedy wa« sent for, and pronounced it to be a decided case of apoplexy, to which deceased has been subject; aud he gave a certificate to that effect, rendering a coroner's inquest unnecessary. Deceased has no relations in the province, and has died intestate.

Drowning in the Harbour.

A SAD case of drowning occurred in the harbour last night, the victim being a young man named Malcolm McDonald, a native of Nova Scotia, and second mate of the brigantine Linda Weber, it appears that he had. partaken of supper at the Governor Browne Hotel with another seaman named Daniel McPherson, and left about .eight o'clock for the Eailway Wharf, where the vessel was lying. They were both sober at the time. On arrival at the pier, it was found that the vessel was about 10 feet from the wharf, and the only means of getting on board was by a plank reaching from the rigging to the wharf. He stepped upon the plank, which gave way at one end, and' he fell down into the water. McPherson got in the boat, but finding no oars, went for a policeman, and Constable Dodd arrived a,bout a quarter of an hour later. A search Avas made, but no trace of the deceased could be discovered. •McDonald was well" known. here, and highly respected. The flags of the various vessels in harbour were flying at half mast to-day, as a token of respect to deceased. The watei-2olice were dragging for the body this afternoon, but their efforts had not met with success up to the time we went to press.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.

A MELANCHOLY accident, which resulted in the death of Henry Collins, aged 12 years, occurred yesterday in the yard or the Auckland Timber Company, in Commerce street. This yard has for- some time been left unprotected from intruders of every description, hence it has become the roosting place of houseless wanderers, and the play place of boys. About five o'clock yesterday a number ot boys were in the yard, near to a loosely-piled stack of timber, and amongst them the deceased, who was a son of. Mr Daniel Collins, cabinet-maker, of Alexan dra-street. With the idea of frightening the others, one boy named Philip Saniway called out " a policeman is coming," which caused a general rush, and in order to escape quickly young Collins leaped on to a pile of sawn timber, 6 by 4 and 12 to 14 feet; in length, when several of the heavier planks gave way and fell upon him. ■ A great effort was made by several of the boys, including a brother, and two other lads, Rowland Freer and Ferny Cave, who (succeeded in getting Collins out from beneath the planks. The poor boy, bleeding and crushed, said taintly, " Good-bye Itowley." He clasped hands, his lips moved for a few and then became motionless. Several of the boys, were more or less in-jured, and Henry Cave, whose parents live in Wellington-street, had two of his fingers smashed. Constable. Dodd being informed of the accident, hastened to Hie spot, and seeing the apparently >ife]e*s body of young Collins, went immediately

for Dr Lee, who examined the body within 'ten minutes of the accident and found that deceased was quite dead. There was a severe fracture of the skull, bruises on different parts of the body, and blood was oozing from his mouth and' uostrils. Sergeant Clarke had the body conveyed to the residence of Mr Collins in Alexandra-street, where it awaits a coroner's inquest.

PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON, this day.

CORPORATION GAS COMPANIES,

A petition presented to the Legislative Council prays that Section, Clause 14, of the Municipal Corporations Act may not be repeated on the ground that it is neither reasonable nor proper that Corporations de siring to establish gas works in competition with those of companies already authorised by special Acts should be released from the necessity of obtaining that power by Special Act. The Committee recommends that the prayer of the petition be granted. Captain Barry, who visfted Port Nichol son in 1836, is now in Wellington, en route for England to lecture. Captain Barry was first mayor of Cromwell, where he enter tained Sir George Grey on. that occasion. Captain Barry accosted Sir George Grey with, " Come aud see my pigs, they're the blankest finest pigs in the country." WAIROA HARBOUR BOARD.

The committee on the Wairoa Harbour Bill introduced by Mr Suiter have struck out all the clauses conferring 83 quarter acre town sections, and 30,000 acres in Ruakituri, leaving the new Board to borrow on its wharfage and harbour improvement rates. THE GOVERNMENT V. SOUTH BRITISH CO.

A curious story is told here respecting the Public Works Department. Three years ago the Government ordered £1,600 worth of railway iron from. England. The vessel conveying it was wrecked on the New Zealand Coast. The wreck was pur chased by a merchant in Wellington, -who also sold the Government iron to the Gov ernment itself for a trifle under £15,000, and stuck to the proceeds. Two years later the public works discovered a loss of £1,600 with the iron. They applied to the South British Insurauce Company for the £1,000 forgwhich the iron was insured. The Company recommsnd the Government to recover from the Wellington merchant who wrongfully sold the iron. The dis pute has been going ou one year. A Director of the Company recently came from Auckland, and offered tocompromise, which the Government did not accept.

The Ministry are determined during next session to push through measures with firm ness.

A 70 FEET WHALE ON SHORE.

One of the most ancient items of whaling information is ,to the effect that a gentle man named Jonah was cast up by a whale, and thrown upon dry land. The latest whale news is to the effect that a 70 feet leviathan of .the deep has cast himself into a paddock of Mr Hamilton's, at Arapipi. That he shook his collosal tail, turned several somersaults', squirted a few thousand gallons of water over a flock of sheep, and a variety of gymnastic per formances, stuck is head down into the sand, and gave one mighty expiring gasp, which drove several hundred tons of sand into the air, and then he was no more. Mr. Hamilton's son, John, was the first to see the enormous fish. Mr. Hamilton and others went to the dead body, and as they stood by its neck they were unable to see over, such was its immense size. Nothing has been done to utilise the car case. Portions of the jaw extracted were brought to Auckland by a lady who has just returned from Pollock Settlement. Much surprise is expressed at the monster going up the creek, which, though tidal, is quite dry at low water.

ii INQUEST ON THE BODY OF \ JOSEPH CHALLENDER.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Freeman's Hotel, on the body of Joseph Challender, who died suddenly on Satur day in Wyndham-street,—l. M. Philaon, Esq., M.D., coroner ; foreman, Mr Cox, of Union-street. Dr Walter Lee gave evidence, n c was informed that a man had dropped dead in Wvndham-street. He went immediately and found the man apparently in a fit. . Pie procured some cold water, which was given to deceased, who took a little and expired. There was no smell of alcohol about him. He had seen deceased previously. Had known him two or three years, and had at tended him in a similar fit. He considered a post mortem examination unnecessary. He had no doubt but serous apoplexy was f the cause of death, brought on, he feared, by habits of intemperance. His age was 35 years. ' r w j Samuel Carey Brown, grocer, of Wynd ham-street, deposed that he was not acquainted with deceased. On Saturday afternoon at half-past three o clock he saw deceased passing bis door ; he was stagger ing down Albert-street towards the water. He was apparently in liquor, and alone. Immediately after passing, ne fell on his face on to the side-path, recently covered with scoria. He went out and assisted him to rise, but lie showed no disposition to get up : asked him if he had been drinking j his nose was bleeding ; turned him over on his back. On asking if he had been drink ing, he replied drink be d , which were his last words. Witness bathed his face with water, * he drank half-a-glass of water very eagerly. He then apparently was' seized with convulsions. He struggled hard, groaned heavily, fell back, and died. His face turned livid. He (witness) could not distinguish any smell of alcohol. A number of persons collected around him. Witness sent for Dr. Lee, who pronounced him dead. Witness sent to the police, and Constable Dodd presently arrived and took charge of the body- JBoderick Dodd, constable, gave evidence as to being sent for by Mr Brown, and going to the spot, where ho found the body of deceased. He •pent for Sergeant Clarke, and for an express, and the body was conveyed to the dead-house in Freeman's Bay. He did not kn»W deceased. Found a hand kerchief and some matches, but no money upon him. No papers were 3bout him. Detective Grace identified the body as that of Challender, who .had some weeks ago been lodging at the Governor Browne Hotel.

[jjf Sergeant-major Mason stated that he had known deceased for eight or nine years. He was formerly a member of the .Reserved Division of the Constabulary. He was addicted to drink. Saw him in a fit about three weeks ago, at the corner of Darby and Queen streets. He was well connected, and Avas in the habit of receiving remit, tances from home.

This was all the evidence, and the jury found a verdict of " serous apoplexy."
