TREACHERY.-SUBJUGATION OF CYPRUS.

Sect. 61. That night the king remained peaceably in the castle; and his newly sworn vassal flying, retired to another castle, and caused the whole of the men of that land, who were able to bear arms, to be summoned to repair to him, and so they did. The king of Jerusalem, however, that same night, landed in Cyprus, that he might assist the king and salute him, whose arrival he had desired above that of any other in the whole world. On the morrow, tlie Lord of Cypius was sought for and found to have fled. The king, seeing that he was abused, aud having been informed where he was, directed the king of Jerusalem to follow the traitor by laud with the half of the army, while he con ducted the other part by water, intending to be in the way, that he might not escape by sea. The divisions re-assembled around the city in which he had taken refuge, and he, having sallied out against the king, fought with the English, and the battle was carried on sharply by both sides. The English would that day have been beaten, had they not fought under the command of King Richard. "They at length obtained a dear-bought victory, tlie Cypriote flies, and the castle is taken. The kings pursue him as before, the one by land, the other by water, aud he is besieged in the third castle. Its walls are cast down by engines hurling huge stones ; he, boing overcome, promises to surrender, if only he might not be put in iron fetter*. The king conseuts to the prayers of the supplicant, and caused silver shackles to be made for him. The prince of the pirates being thus taken, the king traversed the whole island, and took all its castles, and placed his constables in each, and constituted justiciaries andsheritfsj and the whole land was subjected to him in overy thing, just like England. The gold, and the silk, ami the jewels from the treasures that were broken opeu, he re tained for himself ; the silver aud victuals he gave to the army. To the king of Jerusalem also he made a handsome present out of his booty. GEOGRAPHY OF CYPRUS. Cyprus is an Aland of Turkey in Asia, and the most E. in the Mediterranean, near the mouth of the bay or gulf of Iskeuderoon. It is 44 m. S. Cape Auamour, in Anatolia, and 76 m. W. Latakia, in Syria ; Cape St. Andrea, its N.E. extremity, is in lat. 35° 41' 42" N. ; lon. 34° 35' 30" E. (E) ; and BaHa, near its, S. VV. extremity, is in lat. 34° 37' IS" N. ; lon. 32° 24' 30" E. (R); and it stretches from Capo Gat to, lat 34° 29' IS" to lat. 35° 41' 42" IS., or Cape St. Andrea. It lies S. VV. and N.E., and is about 14S in. long, with a width, for 100 m. W. to E., of about 40 m. : but its N.E. extremity narrows greatly, and terminates in a long, narrow peninsula ; about 40 m. long, and not over 15 m. broad. The whole island is occupied by a range of mountains stretching N.E. to S. W.. known in heathen mytho logy as the third range of Olympus, and whose culminating points, Santa Croce (Olympus), and Thrados, are 7000 feet high. On the N.E. side of the island the slopes of these mountains are bold and rugged ; and one of the elevated valleys contains Nicosia, the modern capital of the island. On the S. side the hill-slopes are even bolder, pre senting a deeply" serrated outline, with thickly wooded sides, furrowed by deep valleys. The prevailing formation of the mountain range, iv its N.E. division, is limestone, which __-_aun_.es many abrupt and remarkable forms. The S.W. portion of the mountains is of crystalline formation, and yields excellent, asbestos ; also talc, red jasper, copper iv abundance, gold, silver, emeralds, and tin Paphian diamond ; but the only minerals wrought are the first three named.

DEFICIENT WATER SUPPLY.

Cyprus is deficient in water ; its streams being chiefly mountain torrents, which dry up in summer, the only permanent river of importance beiiU; the the Pedia [anc. Pedosus], which waters the valley of Nicosia, flows A. and falls into the sea at Famagosta. The climate is in general healthy, excepting in some points on the S. coast during the heats of summer, much increased by the burning winds from the Arabian and African deserts, which, causing a rapid evaporation, give rise to a dangerous malaria. Temporary blindness is sometimes occasioned by the sun's reflection from the white chalky soil ; and to avoid sunstroke, the natives wrap their heads in thick shawls. On the N. side of the island the climate is more temperate ; and on the elevated grounds severe colds aie experienced in winter, the summits of the moantaius being covered with snow during several mouths of the year. There are no large wild quadrupeds ; but foxes, hares, small game, and several species of serpents abound, and bees constitute an article of riches. Clouds of locusts some times destroy the harvest. ITS RESOURCES.

The mountains of Cyprus are covered with vast forests of excellent building timber, and the island is esteemed the richest and most fertile in the Levant; yet it has few level tracts of country, those around Nicosia, Famastoga, Larnica, Limasol, and Bafl'a being the chief. Agriculture, however, is in a very back ward state, caused, in a great measure, by the oppressive exertions of the Turkish Government, and of the Greek priesthood. The cultivable service of the island is estimated at about 2,500,000 acres, of which not much over 130,000 acres are actually under tillage. Fertile spots in the neigh bourhood of the village are cultivated, but the more distant tracts are neglected. Of the vegetable products, cotton may be esteemed the most important; it is sent chiefly to Marseilles aud Leghorn; excel lent wheat and barley are raised, the surplus of whicli is exported to Syria; tobacco of good quality is grown in the S.W. of the island, and is on the increase ; madder, after that from Smyrna, the best in the Levant, is raised in numerous localities, and in quantity augments yearly. Silk is produced abundantly in the vicinity of Baffa aud in other quarters ; and only needs a better process of winding to he adopted, to make it fetch a higher pice, and be more sought for in the markets of Lyons and Liverpool. Carobs are extensively grown and exported, chiefly to Odessa, to be eaten by the Russian peasantry, dining Lent. Olive oil might be largely produced, but is much neglected. Wine is the most noted pro duction of the island. It is of five quali ties : the first two are black and red common wines, heady, and with a strong taste of tar, from being kept in tarred casks ; they are exported to some extent to Alexandria, but never to Europe. Com mandiere is the wine most sought after. It is grown near Limassol, near the site of the ancient commandery' of the Knights of the Temple and of Malta. At first topat-ccloured, it becomes black when many years old, and is viscous, thick, strong, and an excellent stomachic. The other two sorts are muscat and inoroca nella, both also excellent wines. Other vegetable products are sugar, flax, sesa mum, poppies, liquorice, exquisite fruits — including the orange, citron, date, fig, pistachio nuts, caper, etc.

TRADE

Manufacturing establishments there are none. Salt, in large quantities, is obtained from salines, at Limassol, and Larnica. The Greek females of some of the towns and villages do beautiful embroidery, and make silk net, which will stand comparison with the finest European lace. The females also weave some common cotton, woollen, and linen fabrics —the _ last chiefly sacking Good morocco leather is made at Nicosia; and calicoes, imported from Britaiu, are here dyed in brilliant colours, and exported to Syria, Smyrna, and Constantinople. Pottery, sufficient for home consumption, is made; and, on the W. side of the island, the peasantry distil rose, orange, and laven der water, and myrtle and ladanum oil. The Cyprian ladies, so famous in anti quity, are handsomer, taller, and more stately than those of any of Grecian island. Their features are regular and dignified, exhibiting that elevated cast of countenance which is' so uLiversally admired m the works ot Grecian artists.

THE GOVERNMENT, The island forms a pashalic, of which th« capital is Nicosia. The principal ports, as well as the principal towns, are Ccnna, Eaniagosta, Larnica, Limassol, and Batta. The pasha, who has supreme power, has under him 12 lieutenants, one over each of the twelve districts of the island, whose affairs they administer in conjunction with an officer, called demogeronte, chosen by the Greeks of the district. The pasha is assisted in levying taxes, &c, by a divan or council, of eight members, consisting of the mufti, the mollah-who is the judge of Nicosia —the commandant of the forces, the principal Turkish agas, the Greek arch bishop, and one of the demogerontes. For ecclesiastical affairs the island is divided into the four dioceses of Nicosir, Larnica, Cerina aud Baffa, and Limassol— the first being administered by an archbishop, ap pointed by the Sultan. . . Originally peopled by the Pho-inci-ins, and afterwards colonised by the Greeks, Cyprus was, by the latter people, dedicated to Venus, whose most notorious temple was at Paphos, now Baffa. It belonged succes sively to the kings of Persia, of Egypt, and to the Romans; and to the Gieeks of the lower empire. It was one of the first places, out of Palestine, that received the Gospel—preached at first, however, to Jews only—and it was visited by Paul and Barnabas, on their missionary tour. Iv the Crusades it was taken from the Saracens by Richard I. of England, and given by him to the princes of tlie Lusignan family, who held it till the year 1570, when it was taken by the Turks, who, for nearly tAvo centuries aud a half, exercised on the miserable inhabitants every species of tyranny aud oppression—seising their crops, when they ventured to raise them, and reducing them to the utmost poverty and wretchedness, by exorbiant taxes and iniquitous exactions. In IS3O it was taken by the Viceroy of Egypt, but was retaken, in 1840, by the Turks, who have introduced various changes into the govern ment of the island, tending much to the advantage of the inhabitants. It is m con sequence ot the claim made by the house of Savoy to the heirship of the Lusignan family, that the King of Sardinia still bears the title of King of Cyprus and Sardinia. ,___ POPULATION, REVENUE, AND SHIPPING.

Chambers gives the population at 180,000, more than one-half of which is Greek, the balance Turkish and mixed Asiatic races. The report of the British Consul, published in 185S, from whose estimate the above is made, adds :—" Agriculture aud manu factures are alike in a backward state; the Greek Christians, who compose the bulk of the population, being indoleut and spiritless, through tear of the dominant Concluded on our Fourth Page.]

SUPREME COURT.-YESTERDAY.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

DE THIERRY V. FITZGERALD. Claim £500, commis_ion. . Mr Tyler for plaintiff, and Mr Hesketh for defendant. Mr Hesketh : What were you to do tor your per centage 1 Plaintiff: I was to negotiate the sale to see that the natives did not interfere with the survey, and to get the matter through the Native Lands Court. His Honor considered that this line of conduct Avas quite irrelevant. fs; Mr Hesketh said he only desired to show to the jury the real value of the work done by the plaintiff. His Honor ruled that as plaintiff nad been employed by defendant to defendant's knowledge up to' July 1577, that fact con doned for any delay during the nego tiations. James H. Preece deposed that he had ten years' experience in connection with native land purchases. He was always in the habit of having specific agreements. Each case of purchase had its difficulties. He charged accordingly. Charles Edward Nelson objected to take the oath on the Holy Scriptures. His Honor : Why do you object ? Witness : I do not believe the Bible tobe the inspired word of G o A. fTt; SjiuS!™_,—^ Witness then made ailirmatiou and deposed that he was a Land Agent, and native Interpreter, he knew his blocks, and was engaged to obtain a lease of the same, for a gentleman iv Melbourne The re muneration for services amounted nearly to £800. To Mr Tyler : he should consider that £800 was a fair price for the completion of the purchase ot the block. He wrote to Mr Aitken, offering his services. He applied to Mr Fitzgerald, who said he would give £4,000 for the block, and he was to make what he could out of it. He inquired if Mr De Thierry was employedd. He said yes, but that would not interfere with Mr De Thierry ; he would pay him his commission according to agreement. Mr De Thierry had instituted the negotiations and assisted towards the purchase. Edward Wm. Kingender, and Captain Pearson, gave evidence as to conversations with Mr Fitzgerald. The Court rose at a quarter to live o'clock.

THIS DAY.

(His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock). William Aitken, land agent, of Short land-street, knew both plaintiff and defen dant iv this action. They met in his office in August of last year. Had some conver sation about Mr Nelson with Mr Fitzgerald to the eifect that Mr Nelson was to com plete the negotiations for the purchase of the land which Mr De Thierry had com menced, Mr Fitzgerald saying that Mr De Thierry was paid his commission. He was assisting in the purchase. It was mutually arranged that Mr De Thierry was to retire from the purchase, on the understanding that it would not militate against De Thierry. The three immediately went to the Kaipara, Mr De Thierry accompanying them at his request, and by the consent of Mr Fitzgerald, in case any question might arise which Mr De Thierry might be able to answer.

To Mr Hesketh : Their purpose for going was to make final arrangements. There was no amount of remuneration to Mr De Thierry mentioned. He went on condition that De Thierry was to be paid commission: he (Mr Aitken) would otherwise have went. Mr Fitzgerald replied, " Of course he will get his commission." He knew that Mr Fitz gerald was negotiating for the O'Kahukura block, but knew nothing of the terms. He heard something about £80, and had seen the document relating thereto, they asked him to arrange matters. Witness said to Mr De Thierry, " You have beeu paid your commission," referring to the £SO. Mr De Thierry said, "Oh no; I have not."_ They pressed him to arbitrate, but he declined. Edmund Thomas Dufaur, solicitor, practising in Auckland, deposed to a knowledge of the negotiations for the block, and was piesent at the Native Lands Court at Helensville when the matter was passed through. He had seen Mr Fitzgerald pre viously, and advised Mr Fitzgerald to ask De Thierry to stand out aud allow Nelson to conduct the purchase as they might clash. Mr Fitzgerald said, you had better tell him, and say that it will make no difference in respect of his commission. A conversation took place at the Helensville Court, when Nelson said he would sooner withdraw than that Mr De Thierry should lose his commis sion. Mr Fitzgerald said it wouldn't make any difference to Mr De Thierry. It was iv September of last year wlion the ■ conversa tion took place. On returning by the steamer, he told Mr Fitzgerald that he had «ot a very cheap block. He thought he might have got it cheaper. He told him he could not have done tlmt. He said it had cost him, altogether, as near as he could estimate about £4.360, including payment to the natives, coinnii_sion to De Thierry, and other expenses. He was at the settling. The £3,60u was paid to the natives, less money advanced and survey fees. He had a great deal of experience in

! Similar cases : he knew De Thierry was ften absent In the Kaipara, on business. The first tiling to do is to get the natives to a^ree and sign to accept money on the lands. A fair remuneration was difficult to state.

Mr Mackay got a shilling an acre. _ To His Honor :If he had been in Mr De Thierry's place he should have asked £300 for his services. To Mr Hesketh ; He was not interested in the negotiations. An agent, according to the Act. could not conduct the case in the Native Lands Court. The natives were not Mr De Thierry's clients; they acted for themselves. More names got into the memorial than was anticipated. Mr Nelson completed the purchase. He was a witness to the deeds. Mr Fitzgerald promised to pay Mr De Thierry's commission alter the sitting of the Court and after the new names were inserted. The first offer was £2000, which the natives refused, the second offer was £3000, and it was finally bought for £3, GOO. He became interested after the passing through the Court.

WRECK OF THE ELLERTON.

[BY TELEGRAPH.]

■£__Z (Press Agency).!; WANGANUI, this day. Yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock the Ellerton went ashore. During the day, a fresh in the river rose to such an extent as to render it impossible to send assistance. The anchors are still dragging, During the afternoon the vessel was getting worse in the break. At 4 o'clock the captafn slipped his anchor, and tried to make sail. The wind was blowing oft shore. The surf, how ever, drove her back broadside to the shore. The Clyde went down, but could do nothing. Soon after a heavy sea struck the schooner, and caused her to slew her bow on. When the men found her beached they took a boat and came off. The owner, Mr Ross, and the captain remained on board all nights At midnight the vessel beached high up at the spit. No serious damage has occurred. She is insured for £1,000, but there is no insurance on the cargo.

" Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use of coal." The value ot coke as a tuel, and aa a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of ' heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs the smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder jshould buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where. —[Advt. 1 When You Wish to Furnish Your House, obtain a Book Catalogue from the City Hall Arcade, which contains valuable informa tion, not only enumerating what can be obtained there, but shewing the cost of Fur nishing a Three, Four, Five, and Six-roomed house ; also, Drawingroom separately, aud Bachelor's Rooms.
