REVOLT AND MASSACRE AT NEW CALEDONIA.

(From the Sydney Mopping Herald's

Special Correspondent)

NOUMEA (New Caledonia), June 29.

By the Locblee, sailing vessel, which left here this morning at 9 o'clock, for Sydney, I wrote details of a terrible revolt of natives in the districts of Ourail and Boularpan, distant GO and 90 miles from here. On the 25th the first intimation of the outburst reached Noumea. It was reported that a "posse" of five gens d' arraes on the Kiver Foe, near Ourail, had been attacked, and all the five men m i rdered, Soon a general murderous assault upon the colons farmers, and'-every white resident m the neighbourhood of Ourail was telegraphed. The Soudre was at once despatched with troops to the scene of conflict, the first movement Avhich seemed to convince the inhabitants of Noumea that the report was correct, so astounded was everyone at an event so utterly unanticipated. NEWS OF THE MASSACRE. On Wednesday, news arrived that envi rons of Ourial were in flames, and twenty one whites known to be massacred, the revolt spreading towards Boularpan, thirty miles nearer Noumea. Thursday morning, intelligence arrived of the massacre of the "colons" and other residents m Boularpan and the surrounding districts. lugitives began to arrive in town, and the excitement was intense, verging during the day upon a panic. Mounted civilians to the numbei of twenty, armed by the Government, had started to the scene of carnage at midnight but the demons had done their work. They arrived to find the place in ashes, ■ corpses lvine in every direction, cut and hacked as £va K e"s delight to do. Family after family we fouiKl°murdered in heaps, no mercy havincr been shown to men, women o children. Treacherous surprise was the, lot of all • perhaps none amongst the victims had a moment's idea of the fate which awaited them, accustomed as they had been S many years to daily friendly intercourse Sthe y natives. The Canala natives have taken} up arms against the revolted tribe headed by the great chiefs Gelimah and Kaka the former ofjwhom has been sightly winded-a sure cement to their alliance with us

" THE INSTIGATOR. The main instigator of this proceeding was a functionary named Lecarte, who was ig no-.mniously dismissed from his office on the arrival of the new Governor, Monsieur Oliy, and is to proceed by the frigate lage to France to account for the many evils he has done here. He has now, in the opinion oi many, the blood of many innocent victims upon his head. Other causes are advanced as bringing about this terrible calamity, m especial tho forced and ill-paid service of a certain number ot natives exacted by the Government from the chiefs, and the inroads of the settlers' oattle upon the native plan tatiOn\ THE PANIC. A very panic was seizing the people : families preparing to embark on board ship, mothers showing terror for their children, the latter crying in fear, and trembling until reassured by the efforts of one or two well-informed people who exerted them selves to calm the agitated ones. News arrived during the day of the capture and

execution of eleven natives on the Dombea River. DEFENSIVE MEASURES. - .. Sunday, June 30. Military, gendarmes, aud a large number of armed civilians are in pursuit, and 150 Canala natives are aiding to surround them. The band of twenty horsemen who left at midnight on Wednesday, returned late last night, bringing heart-rending descriptions of the sights they have witnessed. The latest news from Boularpari states that yesterday the natives made at attack upon a band of convicts, seeing them protected by four sailors only. They did not reckon upon those who were on watch in the camp. The convicts were all brought in but one who had taken too much wine by some means. He was killed, and a surveillant wounded whilst trying to get the man on. The sailors attacked and killed eight of the natives before they knew where they were. July 2. The military, armed sailors, and friendly natives surrounding the insurgents who are known to be frequenting the sea-shore for the purpose of procuring fish, their only means of present subsistence. Information received of the utter destruction of the large village of Narai by our men, and the cutting off of all cocoanuts, bunches and flowers. Eugene, a friendly chief of Paita district, captured six of the revolted blacks, and delivered them to the military, by whom they were executed. A number of Arabs, prisoners for the insurrection in Algeria are in pursuit of the natives. Several other New Caledonia natives will also be enlisted in the pursuit.

NATIVES CUT THE TELEGRAPHIC

POSTS,

Telegraphic communication is interrupted with some of the country districts. At the commencement of the native rising the telegraphic posts were cut to the ground, but" the wires were left intact. It is extremely fortunate that the frigate Fage had not departed for France, taking with her the usual complement of return soldiers. We have her large crew of 600 men, and the company of infantry she brought from Fiance, in addition to the usual forces of the colony. EIGHTY-FIVE "VICTIMS.

A special commission has been formed to collect subscriptions in aid of the sufferers by the revolt. The Government are devoting to this purpose the amount of 6000 francs "(£2.10) which they annually give to tliefetes, races, &c, upon the anniver sary of the colony, the 24th of September. There will be little spirit for the usual rejoicings this year, and the money will be much better employed in the manner indicated. The list of victims whose bodies have been found numbers at present eighty five.

July 5.

No extension of the revolt. The Kanaka are being gradually hemmed in on all sides. A large military camp is to be at once formed at Boularpari, as a centre from which operations may he carried on in all directions. Noumea is perfectly _ calm. There is no cause for apprehension re specting the town of Noumea. The in surrection did not ccme this side of Boularpari and its neighbourhood, distant fifty to sixty miles from Noumea. Further, the" revolt is confined to the tribes at Narai and Boularpari, with the intermediate places, and is now circumscribed within a radius of about twenty-five miles.

A COLONEL SHOT.

5 p.m.

The whole place is thrilled with horror on the receipt of the news just arrived — that Gally-Passebosc, Commandant Mili taire of New Caledonia, who went with the first detachment of troops to the scene ot action, had been wounded at 11 a.m. yes terday, and died at 3 o'clock this morning. He was marching with his men, restoring the telegraphic communication with Noumea, when suddenly shots were fired from the bush, and he fell wounded in the thigh and the pit of the stomach. Colonel Gally-Passebosc was the youngest colonel in the French service, having worked his way from the rank of a common soldier. LATEST.

Th<2 latest news in that yesterday eighty four houses of the natives were burnt near Boularuari. Somp. cnp«"»- *•**>*« «*»a executed. All remains perfectly quiet throughout the other parts of the colony, and everything is progressing to the com plete satisfaction of the authorities.

Eeceent advices from the Cape describe a combined attack made upon the rebels at Tatata and Kadva, at daybreak on 30th April when they were surrounded and dispersed in all directions, and many would have been captured but for the interposition of about'49o women, who threw themselves between the Karhrs and the British force.

THE DROWNING AT RANGITUPUNI.

THE INQUEST,

&N inquest was held at the Market Hotel this afternoon before Dr. Philson and a special iury to enquire into the circum stances attending the death of the young man Joseph Fail, who was so unfortunately drowned at Kangitupunia on Saturday last. - Serjeant Martin appeared for the Police, and Mr J. 13. Russell for Mr Morton. William Lochead deposed to the circum stances under which the accident occurred. On Saturday, 20th inst., deceased, together ■with witness and Henry Bradley, were en gaged getting logs out of the dam. About 3 p"m. Bradley opened the dam and witness told deceased to slur the first log straight, for the gate. He put his spike into the log. As it was passing through the gate he was unable to withdraw it, as he should have done. Thy log was moving with great force, and the pole coming in contact with the upright, jerked against his breast, and threw him off the bank into the stream. Deceased was carried within twelve feet of the drop. Witness ran along the bank, and reached a pole to him. He I caught hold ot it. Witness held him as long as he could, but the fore 3of the current obliged him to let go, or he must have gone in himself. Deceased was then carried down into the hole. Witness saw him rise to the surface on the other side of the hole, and he then dis appeared. The whole affair occupied about fifteen minutes. Deceased was not in experience in this kind of work. He was not a buahman. Henry Bradley was not an experienced man. Both Bradley and deceased were acting under witness's directions. He Avas sober, in fact there was no drink near the premises. When witness lost sight of the deceased he sent Bradley down to Riverhead to telegraph

to Fail's friends, and got two gum diggers to help-him to try and find the body. They recovered it about 5 p.m. on the same day iv the main creek entangled amongst some scrub' about 200 yards below the fall. . The body waa-then removed jto Dixqn's place. The police arrived on Sunday and took charge of it. Afterwards it was removed to his parents' house in Grey-street. Deceased Ava i2l years of age. During the time he was struggling in the Avater he never spoke. The property belonged to Grant and Mortoii. In answer to the^Foreman : Deceased appeared in full possession of his faculties when he c-light the pole. In answer to Mr Russell: He was a good swimm/er. .Two logs had gone through the dam Jjj'ejfore he fell in. The water might be five feet deep. Witness was in good , ternis^with deceased. Bradley lost his tja^Ssnce pof... mind when the accident } OGcu'freel.:- • ' .V-rlji aßsiyer'to the Coroner i Deceased met : fils de~aih in. the opinion of the witness, firstly^ by being stunned in the hole, and jjUihsequently droAvned. '- Sergeant Martin stated that deceased's body arrived in Auckland at two o'clock yesterday. It Ayas brought by the last witnessin the Scotchman. He observed a scratch on the nose and a small Avound on the back of the skull, from Avhich a little blood oozed. Witness ktieAv nothing about the deceased, but judging from his appear ance he should say he had been drowned. Edward Fail deposed to having visited the sceue of the disaster, and to feeling perfectly satisfied that the occurrence was accidental. Mr J. B. Russell, on behalf of Messrs Grant & Morton, stated that the deceased had been in the service of the firm since he Avas quite a lad, and that Mr Grant Avas almost as sorry for his death, as if he had been his own son. Verdict: Accidental death ;no blame attaching to anyone.

EVENING STAR UUESMY JULY 23,



[Advertisement]. (To the Editor). Sir,—Kindly favour me by inserting the following in your valuable impression, to prevent imposition on the public. Two persons calle<i at my house during my absence from home, one of them stating that he wished to see me. making anxious enquiries as to the present state of my health. When in formed that I was in a perfect state of health, he then claimed the merit of convalescence to Ghollah's Indian medicine. My wife disclaimed any knowledge of any such medicine,. and distinctly told him Hhat my restoration to health was solely due to Hitchens' Blood Restorer. The person above alluded to, in an impertinent manner, told my wife that she was labouring under a misapprehension, and wanted to claim the merit, and, as my wifo understood, a testimonial to that effect. My wife again told him that she did not know of any other than Hitchens' Blood Restorer. The two gentlemen then hurriedly left. Now. the inference I draw from such conduct is that this person, whoever he may be. is trying to impose on tlie com munity, claiming the merit of another, from whose medicine I have received, -with bcods blessing, a perfect restoration to health. _ Claiming your indulgence for trespassing so much on your valuable space.
