Tawhiao soon afterwards camo into Alexandra with his sun and an orderly, to get wads for pigeon Shooting. He said he had thought he had caused the stoppage of grog to the Euro peans. The prohibiton against tha natives drinking ought to issue immediately, , THE RIFT WITHIN TBE LUTE. I find that the cause of disagreement between Tawhiao's council and Te Ngakau arose out ot Ngakau's name being attached to a letter asking the Native Land Court to survey and adjudicate the title of the Hara tiati block of land ia the Kingite Country, between Maungatautawhiri and Orakau. Ngakau has produced letters proving his name was signed without authority. He telegraphed to Judge Fenton, to cancel the application. There is no chance of any business being done at the meeting to-day.

ARRIVAL OF THE P.M.S.S. 'ZEALANDIA' WITH THE English and American Mails.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

San Fbancisco, April 11. Thb steamer Zealandia was detained from Saturday, the Bib, till date, on account of the non-arrival of the English mails. Heavy storms and Hoods have occurred along tbo railroad route, with washouts of road-bed and interruption of telegraphic communication.

London, April 11. During March; tho imports into Engjand have increased £1,900,000 as compared with the same period last year. Frederick Drake, German sculptor, is A large body of police attended Glad atone daring his sojourn for the Easter holidays at Hewarden. The English papers are displeased at American interference in Dr. Lamson's c»se; and the German press, commenting on the same subject, cays, from a country which upholds the Monroe doctrine, the interference is meddlesome and - unjus tifiable. Attacks npon Jews in the South of Russia have re-commenced. In one city a Jewish shop was set on fire with petro leum. A|charter has beoo granted to the British North Borneo Company, revokable if the Company fail«d to aoolish slavery. The electors of Northampton, in mass meeting, have approved of Bradlaugh's course, and authorised the Executive of the Liberal and Radical Union to sign a peti tion t« the House praying that he be heard at the bar in support of their claim of tha pght to be represented in the House by the speech and vote of a duly-elecUxl mem ber. The Crystal Palace Theatre, Marseilles, was burned on the 18th; loss, 1,000,000 francs. The actors escaped with diffi culty. , . When Dr. Lamaon heard tho jury's ver dict on the 15th ult., he clasped his hands together and seemed for a moment in des pair, but he quickly recovered his self-pos session, and folding his arms, said, with a clear voice, slowly aod deliberately, and with eyes uplifted, '»I protest my inno cence, bsfore God 1" When Justice Haw kins had concluded passing the sentence, the Doctor, half throwing himself back into the arms of the warden, was almost lifted from the dock. Several of the jury were in tear?, and others ghastly pale. The prUoner was removed to WancUworth gaol. The utmost exertions are being used to prevent any reports abont the condemned man in the papeis. Tho statements about the existence of insanity iv Dr. Lamson's family have,however,beeu freely quoied,aud compellad public attention. They will be laid before Sir W. Haiccnrt in tho hope that a searchinginve»tigatio» will be made that may lead to a commutation of sentence. The system now adopted of keeping a convict under capital sentence in complete privacy from the moment that judgment la patsed upon him until it has been carried ont, has had its effect in the unfortunate doctor's case. He has been nearly forgotten by the London public, and thin fact tells againit any attempt to obtain a favourable heating by the Government. A meeting of American friends of the condemned man was held at Exeter Hall, March 27th, to consider the case, and urge tho U.S. Minister to obtain a reprieve on the ground of insanity. Attorney General Brewster recommended the President of the United States to ask for a reprieve until certain facts regarding the Doctor's use of- aconito in his practice are investigated; aid the London "Obser ver " of the 2nd April states that at the President's request, sir William Harconrt had respited the condemned man till the 18th hut, pending the arrival .of certain evidenoc from America. The prisoner, however, has been distinctly warned that the respite granted under time circum stances, raises vno presumption of a final reprieve or commutation of his capital sen tence. Home of t'ae English papers ore incensed at American interference in this case; and the " St. James's Gazette " hopes the United States Government will receive a deserved rebuff at the Home Office. The best and general legal opinion in the Laroson matter is that few cases of circumstantial evidence have ever been known where the guilt has been more con clusively established, The press, generally, Beems to think little of the doctor's chances of escaping execu tion. The "Times" says: "The theory 'set up in tho United States that he Lad f <iZB on the subject of aconite, -is nota believed by any man of ordinary sense.1 The "DailyTTelegraph " «ays : "The hopes which the respite must raise probably will be doomed to disappointment." . The " Times " editorially pooh-poohs the idea of a War between Austria and Russia : and alio of the Slavonic storm as abont to break npon Germany. Bradlaufch has been urgently pressed by a committee of Freethinkers in Kome to accept the Presidency of the International Congress, which is proposed to be held in that place next autumn.

Fronde's " L;le ot Carlyle," now issued, contains many matters ot offence for num bers of persons. All the foibles of Carlyle are brought out in it vividly ; it is a strik ing book. Carlyle's attacks on publishers are given.tspecially the virulent one on his own, Whom he speaks of as " infatuated Fraser, with his'cat's meat tart of a maga zine."

The attempt- was made to murder William Marlowe Smythc, of Barbaville House, near Collinstown, while he was returning from church in a carriage, accompanied by his aUtor-in-law and Lady Harriet Monck, The shooting took place near some thick shrubbery. The carriage was riddled, and one of the bullets struck Mrs Smythe just behind tho ear, scattering her brains around. Three persons—an evicted tenant named Bigg, acd his wife and son, have been arrested. It is remarkable that assassinations now always take place in daylight, as police patrols at night are making it very dan gerous for assassins to be around." In connection with this assassination, Smythe has written a letter to Mr Glad stone, in which he says: " Your practical adhesion to the principle that force is no remedy in casu of Irish savagery, haa cul minated in making it easy for a Land League assassin to murder my sister-in-law at noonday. I lay tho guilt of that deed lof blood at your door, in the face of the whfle country." Gladstone, in replying, assures Smythe of his heartfelt sympathy, and is confident Smythe will readily under stand why he does not notice his charges."

The London " Times " is of opinion that the attempt to excite popular udignation againit England, on the ground of detention of Irith-American subjects in Ireland, has proved a signal failure. It has seived only to show that the great majority of Ameri can people are friendly toward tha mothor country, and appreciate rationally and wisoly the ligations of international comity.

The Anti-Chinese Bill, prepared particu larly in the interests of the Pacific Coast, limiting Chinese immigration to the United States for twenty years, and passed by both Housw of Congress on the 23rd nit., was vetoed by President Arthur on tie 4th inst., on the ground that he considered twenty yean too long a time; that the bill conflicted with Treaty obligations, and violated the taith of the nation; and he further deprecated a policy that would drive Oriental trade and commerce from the United States. The news of the veto was received in California and the Pacific States and Territories generally wtth great indignation. Mass meetings were every where held to give expression to this feeling, »nd in some instances the President was hanged in effigy and afterwards burned. Beyond this ontburtt of anger, there were no further manifestations. Tae political effect of the President's action will be to disintegrate the Republican party west of the Rocky mountains, and give the Pacific States to the Democrats.

By its provisions all polygamists are disfranchised, and reudered ineligible to hold office. An unforeseen difficulty in the operation of the new law is the filling of official vacancies in Utah, where nearly all the offices are held by Mormons, most ot whom aro polycamists. President Arthur is being attacked in some of the Washington papers as being too much of a society man, and disinclined to attend to tbe serious duties of his posi tion. Guiteiui, it is said, exhibits much in terest in reading tho accounts of executions, and remarks that they all died without showing fear.

DDNEDIN, Saturday, THE PEDEBTRIAN CHAMPION SBIP. Ike mile race between "W. J, Burke, of Duuedin, and Fagsn, ot Christchurcn, fer the championship of New Zealand and £50 a-«ide, came off to-day on the Caledonian Grounds, in the presence of nearly two tboutand people. Burke was the popular favourite.. The1 " sports," how

ever, backed Fagan at 2to 1. The result was a complete surprise. Burke took the lead at a good pace, and held it for the first lap, of which there were five to tbe mile, when Fagan deprived him of it, Not more than another lap had been done, however, when Fagan began to labour, but kept his lead by a couple of yards or less till three lops were over, then Burke got level with him. Entering the hint lap, and just as the race was expected to become exciting, Burke put on the pace. Fagan answered for about twenty yards, but Burke came away then and left "him easily. The Chiistchurch man stopped then, and Burke did the last three hundred yards alone. Tbe time was 4mins. 36 2-sths sees.
