The peasants, although crops promise fairly well, are in a terrible plight. Offi cials, from the highest to the lowest, are sunk in corruption. The priests of tho Orthodox Church are not much better, and militarism has reached a pitch of arrogance and absoluteneis unknown in the worst days of this Komnnoff regime. The nihilists did not exaggerate when they told the Czar the other day, that there was no longer oc casion for the use of dynamite, as the whole fabric of the Empire was about to ex plode. The Imperial State Attorney, who was appointed to examine into the working of the police system in the Orenf urg depart ment, and was stripped of his office because he exposed its frightful abuses too faith fully, have been printed, and are being scattered far and wide throughout the country. Some of the State convicts in Siberia, too, have found an underground way of sending their diaries to the revolu tionary press, and these have a vast circu lation. The Czar i 3 either kept in igno rance of the critical condition of affairs, or is afraid to take action, and a revolution such as the world has never witnessed is not far off. The number of men and girls burned in the barn in the province of Koorks, Russia, was 119, instead of 19, as at first reported. St. Petersburg, July 16.— By an im perial ukase, granted at the suggestion of General Ignatieff on the 2nd inst., the sentence of death passed on Hessy Helf inann has been commuted. The Grand Duke Michael has been ap pointed President of the Imperial Council, and Grand Duke Alexis has been made Grand Admiral.

A Negro Ravisher Meets with Swift Punishment.

MEMPHIS (Term.), July 25.—The "Ava lanche's " Yazoo City, (Miss.), special says: An outrage was committed last Saturday on the person of a young lady by a negro named Isaaac Fisher. He threw her in a eastern to drown her, but the water being too shallow, he slid down the chain and held her head under water nntll she died. He then tried to climb the chain, but failed to get out and so found himself caged. He was soon detected. The demon was summarily dealt with and sent to join Tobe Will, who was hanged last Thursday.

A Tragedy in a Bottle.

Halifax, July 2S.—A bottle containing a slip of paper on which the following was written in pencil, was picked up at Hunting point, near Hall's harbour: "Ship Edgar! sprung a leak on tho fifteenth day out from Parisborough. The crew all mutinous. The captain shot twice. The crew left in boats, short of provisions and water, in longitude 40 west, latitude about 47 south. Bi Dottin." The Edgar sailed from Paris borough last month.

Congress Of Revolutionists.

London, July 19tb.—A meeting calling itself the Revolutionary Congress was held in London last night. Delegates were pre sent from various parts of Europe and Ame rica,' About 7,000 people attended, mostly workmen. Red flags were displayed. Madame Lecount's, delegate from America, described the disappointments of small farmers going.out West, depending upon illusory promises of emigrant agents, and how the great capitalists in possession of the railways oppress laborers. Louise Mic heal, the amnestied French Communist, then spoke, and male delegates from Ame. Rica, Switzerland and Germany flowed, Prince Krapelkine, the Russian socialist, applauded the assassination of several Rus sian Generals. It transpired that the Socialist recently banished from Zurich are secretly settling in Loudon. The meeting was again convened to-night by the Revolutionary Congress, and was crowded to excess by an enthusiastic au dience of both sexes. A resolution declar ing that the " time for agitation by means of the press and platform had ceased, and the time hod come for force,'' was moved by Citoyenne Leconnt, delegate from the United States. Louise Michael of Paris seconded the resolution, which was carried uhanimo—ly.

Cuban Bank Robbers.

Havana. Jnly 22.—Two employes of the branch office at'Matanzas of the Spanish Bank ot Cuba have fled with two accomp lices," on board the Spanish Alicante, Which one of the accomplices chartered under the pretense that he intended to fetch cattle from Alvarado, Mexico. The employes robbed the office of S2oo,oooJin specie. The bank officers say the amount stolen has not yet been fully ascertained. The Alicante left Matanzas on the 18th inst HAVANA, July 23.—Captain-General Blanco telegraphed to the Spanish Consul at Vera Cruz regarding the bank employes who carried off $250,000 of funds of the Spanish Bank of Cuba, and who were sup posed to be aboard the steamer Alicante, The Consul searched the steamer before she entered the port of Alvarado yesterday, ond she was ordered, through the interven tion of the Cosul, to proceed to Vera Cruz, Upon the arrival of the Alicante at Vera Cruz the Consul ordered her forthwith to Havanna, making the captain of the steamer responsible for the delivery of the supposed culprits, in whose possesion, however, no valuables were found, when they were searched at Santa Cruz. It is probable that the men found on board the steamer were sent as a feint to mislead the pursuit of of the chief robbers, who have probably escaped to the United States. One of the latter is known to, have bought a draft on New York for about §30,000.

Murderous Red Men.

Denver, July 30th.—A special to the " Tribune," from Las Vegas,.N. ,M., says: —The "Optic" has the following, on good authority: The Indians who attacked two packers near Alamo canyon, on the 19th, have been followed ever since by a force under Guilfield, and which a day or two since surprised them in camp. After ' one hour's engagement the Indians fled, leaving their whole camp outfit —two horses and twelve mules—in the possession ot the soldiers. Two Indians are supposed to have been killed, and several wounded, ibnt all were carried off. The Indians fled toward Rio Grande. It is supposed'theynre bound for old Mexico. They were direct from the Mescalero agency, and number eleven bucks and one squaw. Reliable news from Eagle reports the turning of a rancho and the killing of a number of Mexicans and- two unknown miners by Indian* near there, It is thought there are three bands of Indians prowling about the country; as their signal fires were seen from Eagle last night. ! ~ , : A San {Marciol (N. M.) special Isays:— Two Mexicans and two miners have been murdered fbetween Son Jose - and; .Fort McCreary, by' Indians, who are sup posed ,to be heading from, , Black Range. Company D, Ninth Cavalry, has been ordered on a scout from Old Caliente. Chief Nare will probably co-operate with the Mescalerds if he is aware that they are on the warpath. !

THE NAPIER POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.

Wholesale Frauds.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION*)

NAPIER, Wednesday. FURTHER particulars in connection with the charge against Rendle have leaked out. It is known that about 250 stamps torn from letters were found on Rendle's person. They were of all denominations, from five shillings to one penny, but the greater number were sixpenny stamps, evidently taken from letters for England. In some instances scraps of paper with writing on are attached to the stamps, which may lead to the identification of some letters. Rendle showed np a great many, evidently intending to make away with the evidence against him, but he apparently thought better of it, and endeavoured to get them- conveyed to his wife, but unsuccessfnlly. It is doubtful whether any other charge than letter-open ing will be preferred, as, though several tradesmen recognise things which they believe to have been stolen, they cannot swear to them. These things are chiefly in the nature of books, music, or engravings, which cannot be specially identified. To-day the police went round with the skeleton keys found on Rendle, and evidently made by himself by filing down ordinary keys. They were found to unlock the doors of several shops he is alleged to have entered. The extent of his frauds can only be guessed at, but a very uneasy feeling pervades the public mind, especially in busmess circles, as the stamps found on the man go to show that large numbers of letters posted here must have been made away with. Rendle s arrest was a universal surprise. He was generally respected, as there way nota steadier man in town, a,nd during the year ho has been here nothing .££■*»; able has ever been alleged against hua.He neither drank nor gambled, his evenings being generally spent, in the practice o^ music, he bei-i a proficient on half a dozen instruments. An immense stock of music was found in his house. It now, however appears of late he has severely ill-treated his wife, and has given her cause for jealousy, which may account for her informing'on him. Kindle stands remanded until Mon day next. ■'■-': '" ' ' '

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.

NEW PLYMOUTH, Wednesday. MORE FENCING AT PARIHAKA. ' Things are again assuming a disquieting appearance at Pungarehu, and the constabu lary are under orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate action. The cause of this1 is that the natives have resumed their obstructions by fencing the Crown land to the>eaward of the native reserve. As the natives are very persistent, and will not desist after receiving repeated warnings, it is wore than probable that the constabulary will be called out to remove the trespassers. NAPIER, Wednesday. THE NATIVE LAND DISPUTE. Mr John Harding yesterday went to the disputed Maori territory, and shot several pigs. Mr Harding states that he informed the Native Minister that he would shoot all the native stock on the land if he (Mr Rolleston) did not come down and see the natives before Thursday. The natives were very excited, and little more would inevit ably lead to serious results. TIMARU, this day. HOTEL ROBBERY. At the Magistrate's Court this morning, F. W.

James Carden at Dunedin on the 16th of April, 1881, for a tour through New Zealand, consisting of the said James Carden and Miss Marston Leigh, at a salary of £27 per week. Mr Garden commenced to perform under the agreement on the 16th April, and played up to Christchurch, where he performed for tbe season. He next proceeded to Wel lington..' The season finished oa the 10th June at Christchurch. Mr Carden was in formed that he was to go to Wellington. He made no objection. The steamer was to leave on Saturday. The train left at half past six. Arrangements had been made for Wellington, and the piece, " Clancarty," was fixed and published. This was done by Mr Carden and his agent. The piece was duly advertised in Wellington for the Monday evening, Garden and Miss Leigh taking the leading parts. The weather was very-bad-at .Lyttelton- on the previous Saturday evening. (Witnesses were here ordered out of Court.) .The steamer did not leave on Saturday night, owing to the weather. Notices were posted by the ship ping agents at the principal hotels,, inform ing the public that the steamer could not so., Mr Carden .knew that,the steamer was delayed. Passengers were to leave Christchurch for Lyttelton at 9.30 on Sunday morning for the Hawea. Mr Carden did not leave.—His Worship said it was un necessary, he thought, to go into these particulars,—Witness deposed further that he detained the-steamer three ,and-a-half hours for Mr Carden.'' He did not come. In consequence of the absence of Mr Carden and Miss Leigh, he could not' open tho theatre at Wellington. Mr Carden reached Welling ton,on the. following Wednesday. It 'Waa' in the evening.' Mr Carden and his agent, Mr Thatcher, came to witness and wished him to sign a papertoreleasehimfrom any damages for the last two nights, other wise he would not play for him any more. He refused to si_n it. He gave orders to his stage manager that; a ; piece,,should be produced which could be played without Carden.» At halfrpast seven he went to the Theatre and' found Garden' dressed ready for "Clancarty." Supposed Cardey had changed his mind, "Clancarty '' had been announced for that night. The Company had rehearsed a comedy. Mr McGowan would^ recollect thetitle.v; Asked Carden to settle the salaries of the people at Welling ton. He refused. He told Carden that he would sue him. He never agreed to re lease Carden from any of these damages. Did not ask Carden to play. " Clancarty " on; the' Wednesday night. He said, "I thought you did not intend to play "Clancarty" to-night."' ' Carden replied, "What do,you mean? I .would not do such a thing as that" He was paying £5 a night at Wellington ; paid £10 for two nights, and £18 a day to members of the Company," making £46. The claim was not in excess, considering advertising and small items.—His Worship : Did yon get double houses during, the latter evenings of that week ?—Mr DeLfas : The public were greatly disappointed. Carden left Auckland before his term of engagement had expired. He gave no notice of going away. He was advertised to play on the evening ot his departure, June 10th.—Mr Heskethobjected to these questions.—By Mr b. Hesketh; The steamer was to leave Lyttelton by 6.30 on the Saturday. Did not see Mr Carden on the Sunday morning at all. Told Mr Thatcher, the agent, to see that Mr Garden would be in time. He sent his luggage on. On reaching Wellington on the Monday, he received a telegram from Thatcher statin" that Carden would he in Wellington by the next steamer. The stage manager could not get any piece ready for that Monday evening; there was not time. Could not have played the comedy on Tuesday night, as two rehearsals were necessary; besides, he expected Carden. Had told Carden several times that ha would sue him. Ho did not attempt to stop the loss out of Garden's wages. If he had stopped one week, £27, -it would not have paid, and he should have lost Carden's services. He waa also instructed that he could not do so He paid weekly. His expenses were £18 per ni«ht.

The Maori Win have traced the rich Tiki reef 60 feet into their ground. Yesterday evening they opened on it and took out stone containing course heavy gold. The reef traverses the whole extent of the Tui ground, and the fact of rich stone being broken ont at so great a distance from the spot where the Tiki reef was struck speaks well tor the permanent character of the lode.

The Mayor has given notice of his inten tion to move at the ordinary meeting of the City Council this evening: (1) "That, in terms of clause 22 of the Municipal Police Act, 1880, public notice be given that the Council will be prepared to receive ten-1 ders at any ordinary Council meeting for unleased allotments of endowment lands which have been offered for sale by auction subject to the conditions at present or at any future time fixed upon.such conditions with particulars and plans of all unleased allot ments to be open to public view in the Coun cil offices;" (2) " Thot the resolution granting 5 per cent interest on contractors' deposits be amended by the substitution of rate of interest payable to the Corporation on their current credit balance, account and that the interest be payable only during the time stated in the conditions of contract for the plan of the works, unless extended time has becme necessary by action of the Council. The pilot at Kaipara Heads is of opinion that the loss of the Bona on the West Coast is owing to there being no lighthouse on either of the Heads. With westerly winds, the atmosphere is always thick and hazy, and it is evident that Captain MoKenzie, unable to find the entrance, has head reached, waiting for the weather to moderate, without being aware of the close proximity to the Coast, when|he has been carried by the sonth-easterly set of the sea amongst the breakers, ond capsized. The Manukau harbour, with a better entrance and more prominent land-marks, with less than one-fifth the shipping traffic that the Kaipara has, is provided with a lighthouse. It is time the Government were urged to erect a lighthouse at the Kaipara, and so prevent the constant loss of life and vessels. It is also a great defect not having the Pilot-station connected by telegraph with Kaipara and elsewhere, so_ that the pilot service might be available in case of emergency.
