comb'at-than,;usual in:which:.the proprietor of the station upon which the engagement took place had been compelled to take part —probably in defence of his home and the tribe amongst whom he was located, who in sucih a moment perhaps morally enforced his aid. There is no doubt that a number of the natives were shot. The cause of this access of fury in tribe .against tribe was the taking pf a young woman by a brother of the chief" of the opposing tribe. Justice was denied the parties Wrdriged,. when they sought it in the proper quarter The natives then took up * the law' after their own mariner, and when the Commandant of the district attempted somewhat late to in terfere they told him to mind his own busi ness. The white residents in the neigh bourhood, some ten or twelve, came up to the Bourail arid Noumea more as a measure of precaution than anytning else. Wednesday, 10th.

The troops, after destroying a village, were; upon their return to camp, attacked by about 250 to 300 natives at Boularpari. Awaiting for a place sufficiently open to afford a chance of seeing the savages, the troops kept on; then suddenly turned round, and fifteen of the blacks bit the dust. How many more were wounded is unknown, for 'twas late, and the tawny wretches dis appeared in the thick scrub as though by magic. To-morrow much is hoped for from an expedition to be made against the insur gents by the Canala tribes, assisted by the soldiers.

Thursday, 11th. Everything remains quiet in all parts of the island except the scene of the revolt; and their operations are circumscribed to a very small area. The attack organised yes terday resulted in,the destruction of the villages only; the natives fleeing amongst the mountains. Many people express sur prise that more is not yet achieved against the insurgents. Not so those who come from the scene of action, and such as are well-acquainted -with the country and its black population. These, better informed, know perfectly well that the tedious process of starvation, and'of black against black, are the" rrieans which- must be depended upon for the reduction {of this handful of agile devils who leap from rock to rock, dive into the friendly covering of thick tangled bush by paths known to themselves only, or disappear in the numerous ravines worn in the mbutaic sides by the rains of ages. Come to their fate they eventually must, but in the meantime they cannot be dealt with iri any but the one fashion. .The result of the subscription in the town in aid of the suffiererc by the revolt was published to-day in the" " Nouvelle Caledonie_" , -It amounts to within a trifle of 10,000 francs (£400). This is exclusive of the.6ooo. francs devotod to this purpose, by the Adminst.atidn, instead ot to the annual fetes. .= The'Hbriie Government have been requested to furnish 50,000 francs to this pur pose/arid the public of France will doubt- •• less act generously .to their, afflicted com patriots. ~..._. .•-...a/.-' Sunday, 14th. . ; :H_M. Schooner Renard arrived on the 11th, bringing,infrom the South Sea Islands the brig Iserbrook, ; the captain of which died some time since, leaving no certificated - officer,;pri board. She is despatched hence to her owners in Sydney, having on board a numerous crew of South Sea Islander, engaged for a pearling expedition. Up to the latest moment the number of known victims in the late revolt is 118. It is not"supposed there will be any more to add, or at most but one or two, who in such a moment may be iFissed. 9 a.m. 15th. I open my letter to add the information, just received, that yesterday an ambuscade succeeded against the revolted tribes, killed the son of the chief, and several others of .he wretches. They have also burnt and destroyed in the last day or two twenty more villages. Yesterday some natives, bearing the tricolour flag, came in and offered their services to the Government at the camp at Boularpari. The begin ning of the end is in view. • ARRIVAL OF THE SAPPHIRE.

FIJI NEWS.—HORRIBLE OUTRAGE ON THE COAST

(PER ISLAND LILY.)

By the arrival of the Island Lily, Captain Cooper, we have later Fiji news. At half-past 2 o'clock, on the 26th June, His Excelledcy, Mr _ceorge William Dcs Vceux, Companion of the most distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, took the oaths of allegiance and office as Lieute nant-Governor of Fiji, at Nasova. On the 21st June, at the Police Court, Lieutenant-Commander Mooro, of the schooner Alacrity, was fined the sum of £20 and costs for having broken the quarantine laws by communicating with the snore be iore his vessel was passed by the health officer.

The schooner Esperanza arrived in port from Taviuninn the ; 21st June, with; Sub- Inspector Foster _oh board, ■ the captaiii hav ing been fined the sum of £200 by the sti pendiary magistrate of Tiviuni for negleting -to comply with the quarantine regulations. A Chinaman, has been fined £100 for smuggling opium. r'r : ' * ._• A splendid sample of Ceylon coffee. ha_.: been grown at Taviuna. : .?-_■ Great dissatisfaction exists with- respect _o the issue of Crown grants. The Wesley an body haa memd^ialised the Lieutenant .GcP vernor with rdspectjtg Jtbe iforeshoz^J JTfie matter istd'hereferredto the- Secretary of State for the colonies. Timber, apparently from Puget Sbundy has drifted ashore on ihe eastern, portion of the group. From its appearance-it presents indications of.having been cetached from a burning vessel, SHOCKING OUTRAGE.

A number of natives on Ra Coast being ■dissatisfied- with, the ride' of Ratu Isikeli, Roko ot/theF'province, petitioned the Governor for hisremoval. This, however, resulted ndt rinhisj'hut their removal, and deportation to Gau, much to the disgust of manytribal sympathisers,-one of whom too loudly expressed a wish to have Ratu Isikeli and make rnadrai of him; which, on reaching; the, chief's ears, evoked dn immediate order for the arfest of the blasphemous delinquent. The man took refuge in the'mountains, and finding it impossible to arrest him the Roko virtually outlawed him, forbidding every one under, heavy penaltiesto shelter, or succour him. This seemingly had notthe [desired effect, as one town did feed and house him despite the Roko's edict. Upon this fact being reported the Roko despatched a company of armed ruffians known, as ovisa ni koro, to punish the town by' removing them to another location. On their arrival, these miscreants placed all', the males in durance, .in one hovel, and the females in' another, and then, des pite their cries and sruggles, subjected the latter to indiscriminate violation. On the news reaching Mr East^ate, atNamena, he difected'the arrest of all concerned, and no less than '40 have since been sentenced for participation in the Outrage.

PARLIAMENTARY.

FROM O UR SPECIAL REPORTER.

(BT STAR SPECIAL WISE),

WELLINGTON, this day. I PETITION FROM COUSINS AND ATKIN. MR, DIG-.A-. presented a petition .from Messrs Cousins arid'Atkin, praying that the tariff iriay be so arranged as to foster coach buildings in _ the: coloriyi ........ ONEHUNGA'WHARF/ ' '

The followirig',riotices;;were given for Wednesday :-^Mf O'Bbrke. to' ask, the Minister of works—l.-Whether it is true that the depth of water at the end of the new wharf at :Oriehuriga is less than at the old, one.,: 2. j Whether borings were taken before the site was fixed on to ascertain whether the piles could be driven the specified length. 3. Whether the harbour-master was consulted upon suitability of site, F GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING. Mr Fox is to move for a return of all advertisements published by the Govern ment during the year terminating Ist July, 1878, inviting, tenders from. publishers of newspapers for the insertion of Government advertisements and notices oi all tenders sent in reply to such advertisements, and giving rates tendered at, and showing any tenders and their rates not accepted. Also a return of all insertions of advertisements or notices in any newspaper by the autho rity of any Government officer without tenders having been publicly invited. Mr Moss moves on Wednesday " That this House shall resolve itself into commit tee of the whole to consider a respectful ad dress to the Governor, requesting His Ex cellency to place upon the- estimates a sum to encourage, by way of bonus, the produc tion of wattle bark in the colony.;■;,. Wattle , is gettiug scarce am ; Australia, and the poorer lands in the neighbourhood of Auck land are admirably suited for production. At the meeting of county delegates to day, several.-ainusin^- incidents occured. Gentlemen were present who had been ap pointed deputies of delegates absent on 0_"llPT X) 11S1HGSS .J t-'-F,. *'■ Mr SWansdh said he was told this rule of appointing deputies was considered proper because he might often.be away, and would be told to put some one in his place. The Chairman, said of course this would not be. done unless a member of the. County Council were appointed., Mr Swanson : Why,l am not a member of a County Council: myself, and I repre sented the Borough of Auckland last year without being a. City Councillor. If no one but County Councillors may attend I will rriake my- bdW arid * retire ;. but there is a member of the Housei| who is a member of Eden County^ and I will get him to come in my place. I refer to Dr. Wallis. Voices : " No, no ;" don't send him.,., ~. _ The Chairman:' I think it'is unnecessary to discuss this matter ; it is not requisite for a delegate to be a County Councillor.

iTHE "NEW ZEALANDER" ON DR. WALLIS. The "New Zealander". says : '_'We.are. ilost in wonder aud some searchings of heart 'over our dearly beloved brother, Dr. I Wallis.. Has he gone : over bodily to iEe j Opposition, or is he sitting on a political j rail holding with the hare, yet ready to run iwith the hounds;, oris he only dissembling kislove for his friends; by expression, of a 'desire to kick them down stairs, or, worst of all, is he about to make himself the funny man of the House ? We would entreat the, worthy doctor not to attempt this last role.' People may laugh at him, and he may fancy they are laughing with him, but it will be a ;pure delusion. His jokes are melancholy as Jacques' humor. - Better to betake him self to Fox at once. He will no doubt ,_be received by "that veteran mnch as Dido received the shipwrecked Aeneas "ejectum littore egeulem excepi."

THE " TIMES" ON THE WAIKAO ELECTION. The "Times" says, "If political apathy in regard to the exercise df [the franchise by electors he the rule] an exception occurs to prove its ' generality. d It is stated 'in Waikato as a remarkable fact,--:, that the total number ,of votes recorded at the late election for Waipa was actually in dxcess of the total number df. voters known to he in the electoral district. Whether the extra votes were polled for the Govern ment candidate or for his opponent of course cannot at present be known, but it is generally' believed, we hear, that the Auckland Constitution -Association have a reserve of votes always in stock qualified for any emergency, and that some of these found their way'to Mercer on the polling clay by special train, and were not required to produce their tickets. We may hear more of this curious phenomenon." 1 Mr Swanson,-at.the meeting of county delegates to-day, . was < accused by Mr Bovine, delegate from some obscure village in Otago, with knowing, nothing: of. the highway board system, F '*• '-•'*- A . ! Mr Swanson retorted in his characteristic irenchantistyle.aa. In *he: course of;hiaK-re inarks Mr Swanson said that people in the cbunty of Eden believed: in the highway boards' system.. This'conference of .dele gates appeared .deaifdnsdf crushing the life out of these hoards, knowing well they were goiii'g to relieve them of certain' p'owersfjust as one nian relieves another of his ptirse. He advocated that- members of ridings should meet; and ..then there wouldahe something" like trrith, r The , county- me represented was... one of the smallest in the colony, but it would-be difficult;, for bne man to ascertain different local values, while road boards were.seldom.wrong, be cause the valuer possessed local knowledge. I The counties wanted to "take away local go vernment from the boards; which had done the 'work quite -as well:as counties were likely to do. ".:\Ay FF'.FaF ' . ....

THEATRE ROYAL.

THE -— '-— IN PARIS I

j A LONG and highly-spiced bilk of fare was presnted at the theatre onSaturday evening. The first part consisted of a sensational drama, the title of which -purported that we were to witness some extraordinary [ scenes in the life' of an historical personage ' with a bad character. . Strange to say, how i ever, His infernal Majesty failed to turn ! up. Instead we were treated to an un fortunate father with a mistaken taste for : medicine and. magic, whose motives were presistentlv mistaken by every one through out the piece. The part would be a good one, as also would the play be a fair speci men of its kind, if the dialogue were not so redundant. This fault bores the spectators and does away with a great deal of the effectiveness of Mr Dillon's acting, which is really much better than persons who saw him in Hamlet'and Othello would, believe. Melo dramadf this kindsuits him—Mis^Pender m a careful and painstaking .young actress but unequal to arduous roles: Mr Steele and Mrs Walter Hill were as usual well np to'their parts. Miss May deserves some words of special praisr not merely for her acting in "Spadra" on Saturday, but also for the clever and versatile manner in which she has sustained a large number of very various parts lately. The performance concluded with the well-known "Don C-esar de Bazan," in which Mr Dillon sus tained the title role satisfactorily. Both he and Miss .Perider met 'with frequent anplause during the evening. - ~ , r ■ ; TO-NIGHT

Mr Dillon plays Henri de Lagardere, in the "Duke's Motto." The Christchurch " Sun " spoke very highly of this acting in this character, which is well suited to his abilities. ■ - ' • ' F-
