TftiflSAS Dunm was charged boforo Mr fl»rka, in tho Central Police Court, Sydnoy, fto other day, with having shot at John ■Brown! with intent to murdor him, on January 23rd- Tho parties wore working together in a^qunrry near Annandalo on :the day in q"o3tion. Tho prosecutor was sitting under a treo with somo companions «t sbout a quartor to 2 in tho aftornoon. ( Tho prisoner wont np to ' lim atu* asked Wm to go asido. Thoy moved a littlo distanco away, nnd thon tho prisonor 4JIA " I have not soon tho old woman lately. If I could find hor 1 would bill hor." H»ving turned round a moment aftorwurds, the prosecutor found a rovolvor pointod at him. He put up his arm to shield himself, when the prisoner lirod foul- shots in rapid succession, and oxclaimod at tho samo jjaß, "Take that, you b—, and that, agdthat." Throoof tho shots struck him — ono on the right arm, ono on the right hand, and tho other on tho thigh. Con stable Porteis arrested tho prisoner on tho same day in Susan-street, Annandalo. Tho man had thon the revolver in his right kind, and his hand inside his pocket. Tho policeman took tho revolver from him, and Seprbener said that ho had just ro-filled tbe weapon. Afterward he added ■:" I may tn well tell you (for if I don't, somebody elao will)« but I havo just emptied tho con teats Into that b Brown." Aekod wkore Brown was, ho replied, "In thnt atone quarry, whero I Bhot him." The policeman conveyed tho prisoner to the took-ap. When ho was charged with the offenco the accused Baid, "That j ought to bo dead any way, for he took my wifo away. 1' The nroaeoator, it appeared, had boon living with the prisoner for somo time, and differences arose between the husband and wife. The accused charged the proseoutor with having had something to do with this, kit he denied any connection whatever with the affair. The surgeon of tho Prince Alfred Hospital gavo evidence with regard tothe nature of the .wounds, but said that they were not dangerous. The accused, who reserved his defence, was committed to tbke hia trial at the next sitting of tho Central Criminal Court. Bail was refused.

MURDEROUS OUTRAGE AT THE ISLANDS.

BiustUNE, February 5. Henry BANta, mato of the schooner Eli bank Castle, of Sydnoy, arrived in Port Douglas on Tuesday, and reported that Captain Howio and four of tho hands wero murdored on January 15th, off Point Barri otta, Solomon Islands. It appears that the captain and four men went ashore in a boat, and wero immediately attacked try about GO natives with tofnahawkß and spears. Tho natives wero seen from tho vessol pulling tho bodies out of tho wafer, but eventually the natives disappeared into the bush. Tho mate says ho tired two shots ashore, but thoro was no response until some time later, whon bullets whizzed all over tho boats. The shots wero lirod from tho bush, but nobody could bo soen. Evontually tho anchor was shipped, and tho vopsol got away from the island.

TONGA.

Free Churcli of Tonga.

Groat Secession Movomcnt.

Ovu correspondent writes that tho long talked-of secession from tho Weeleynn OhuTcli has taken piano. It .a claimed tlint 11,000 adhoronts of tho Wosloyan Church, including one European miniator, 12 or dained nativo ministers, 800 local preachers, 600 school toachors, 7( 0 lenders, and up wards of 0,000 members nro among the seuodors. Tho movement commonced in tho middle group of those islands, namely, Haapai. Tho pooplo thore, being vexed at tho conduct of tho nativo minister, who was sont by Mr Novulton to tako charfio of tho circuit in tho absonco of Kov. Mr Oldmoadow, politionod tho king to established tho froo church of Tonga. When His Majesty roceivod tho peti tion from tho chiofa ho romarked, " What is tlio uso oi asking my per mission whon you havo already dono bo," and bogged thorn to go nnd prosper, Tho coiiseqiicneo is that His Majesty called together tho pooplo of Vavivi, explained his vlows to thorn, and tho result is that tho whole of Vavau has seceded from the Wcs loyan Church with all its ordained nativo ministers, local proachore, and adheronts.

On tho news reaching Haapai of what had been done in Vavau, drums woro beat and guns tired, and tho remaining portion of thut group seceded, saving two native ministers nnd a few mombors.

Tho secession is how commncod in Tongatabn, and alroady every chief of importnnco, including tho Chief Tugi, havo joined the Free Church of Tonga, without waiting for tho King's proclamation, being made aocording to Tonga custom. The chiofa of several plaoes havo mado applica tion to tho Rev. Mr Walkin, who has joinod the new church, for sorvicos to bo hold, and it is expected that in a fow days native ministers will be appointed to tho various stations and arrangements mado for tho building of churchos throughout tho land. Politics and Commune. Politically, things are Tery quiet. The poned till after tho hurricane months. Tho opening of tho King's church, although finished, has also been postponed. This group, we aro thankful to say, ha 3 so far oscaped a hurricane, although fro had rather a stiff blow on January 12th. The commission to inquire into tho Eva sheep caso vo-commonces its sittings this week, and it is expected to ba some weeks before it is over. It is currently reported that a German Consul is to be appointed to Tonga, but it has not yot been officially reported to tho Tonga Government.

Eleven thousand acres have been planted in fruit trees in Santa Clara County, Cali'ornia, this season. Other counties in tho State aro alsq planting largely. In Napa and Sonama Counties alone 500,000 French pruno treo3 havo been planted since autumn.

In reference to the recent murder of Union Bank officials atßoeburno, West Australia, ft gentleman who has resided in the district 8 iya that the deed probably was committed by Malays, who frequont the place in con nection with thopearl fisheries. A telegram says that the wounds wore inflicted with a srarp instrument. The Ma'ftys are fond of sharpening up tomahawks as weapons, Tho si>f i can be opened only hy two sets of keys, ono of which was held by tho manager, and the other by the accountant. The assailants tried only one set. Mr Anketell's body waa found covered with tomahawk blows in the verandah, where he slept on hot nights. Burrup, the ac countant, was killed in bed. The keys of the safe wero missing but no valuables wore tiken.

The "Journal of Education" prints the following samples of examination blun ders : —l. What are the mineral products of Australia ? Tinned meats. 2. WHat ia tho feminine of cock robin ? Give similar instances of gender in English.—Jenny, wren, mare, maress; church, chapel. 3. A boy of eleven, on entering a middle-class school, was told to write out tho Lord's Prayer. He began, " Our Father, witch ,artineven, Harold be thy name," and turn ing to the master, who was looking over his shoulder, romarked with a self-satisiied air, ." That's my name too." 4. Francis Bacon was a black friar, who invented gunpowdor nnd the now organ. He was imprisoned in Jamos reign for tho gunpowder plot, where he wrote his colebrated essays. He was a very learned man, and wrote a book about Greek.

Although mmh triod with ailmonte that would paralyse ordinary men, Mr Spurgeon was able en Sunday (says a recent English journal) to take the usual services at the Melropol tin Tabernaclo, and on Tues day to attend the annual meeting in con nection with the Pastors' College. This successful training institution has now been in existence more than a generation, and has sent forth nearly 700 tninistors and evangelists 1o preach thojGospel, most of whom are pastors of Baptist churches at Hotre or abroad. Mr Spurgeon'a sop is about to return to Now Zealand with British contributions, to the amount of £2,500, towards tho building of a tabernacle at Auckland. His honoured father is, we hopo, about to seek much-needed rest in tho south of Franco, and all his friends and admirers would havo rejoiced if he could have been spared long enough from his great work at Nowington to accompany his son to the antipodes.
