HORRORS IN NEW CALEDONIA.

A Noumea paper has the following dreadful narrative of atrocities committed on the natives on an island adjoining New Cale donia :—Some little time ago two barques belonging to a certain company met at a neighbouring island, and the captain of the one left his vessel in charge of the other in order to go ashore about 1 o'clock in the morning, having with him the crew armed with sniders. Upon arriving at the beach they metaman, anexcellenthandat his work, who was accompanied by four or five others, who were also armed with sniders. One of them took command of the little troop, and advanced into the interior with every precaution, and eventually reached ft kanaka village without being seen. After a short respite tho whole of the troops rushed upon the village, forced open the doors of the huts, fired a number of shots on the unfortunates, who, taken unawares in tho most profound darkness, did what little they could to defend themselves, and then followed things impossiblfi to write about.

After this senseless and brutal murder, pillage and ravage followed, and at last, to crown all this horrible work, the place was set firo to. Some kanakas and popines (tho women) were lying on the ground wounded, and others were dead. An old popine, who had not sufficient youth or charms to attract the attention of the rascals, had been thrown outside and half killed by strokos from a clubbed eun. Later on, tired of hearing the groan? of this unfortunate creature, one of the crew put his gun to her ear and blew out her brains. In returning towards tho beach, their road was lit by the fire from the village, the blaze of which had communicated with the surrounding forest. Their ears were re joiced by the pitiful cries of tho agonised woundec". creatures who were burning in the midst of tho smoking ruins of their homes, An hour before they nad been sleeping tran quilly.notfearing, truly, that the flag of a civi lised nation would shelter beings a thousand times more savage and more ferocious than the most savage and most ferocious of their greatest enemies. Then, satiated with murder, the brigands returned to their respective' destinations, taking with them tho prisoners they had mode, and who had been the principal object of this trip.

BIGAMY AND DESERTION.

A Heartless Dunedin Man In Melbonrno*

A heartless case of wife desertion and subsequent bigamy was heard lately at the Melbourne Police Court, occupying the Bench tho greater part of the Jay. The accused was Joseph Francis King gate, formerly of Dunedin, New Zea land, and lately of Mary-street,. Rich mond, where he was arrested on the 7th ult. On tho 10th January, 1882, he married a girl named Norah Smith, who was then chambermaid in the Union Hotel, kept by William Clarko Armstrong, Dunedin. The latter attended tho wedding, and signed his "name in tho book of the registrar. Soino time aftorwards Kinggate brought his wife and one child to Melbourne, and took lodgings in a house in Rokeby street, Collingwood. Here it was observed by Mrs Kinggate's sister, who went to stay with them, that the married pair did not appear to live very happily together. On more than one occasion Kinggate told his wif o and her sister that he would destroy the marriage certificate and seek another wife. Seme time laet year Kinggate and his wife and child were living at Footecray, and whilst there he became acquainted with a girl named Johanna Fredrica Mehrten, who was employed as a servant at the Station Hotel. To this girl, who was about 20 years of age, ho introduced himself as a single man, and to prevent her knowledge that he was already married.he removed his wife to Hotham. Tlion he gave out his inten tion to proceed to Sydney, telling hie wife that he would shortly after bis arrival Bond for her. He gave her on his departure tho sum of ss, eaying it was all he bed; and, although the unfortunate woman was approaching her confinement, Kinggate left her without any means of support whatever, and proceeded secretly to Footseray. For several months, Mrs Kinggate could get no tidings of her husband's whereabouts. As she was totally destitute, the neighbours gave her somo little assistance to help her along, and inquiries were set on foot to ascertain what nad become of her husband. It was (ben discovered that he had gone through the form of marriage with Johanna Mohrlen before the Presbyterian clergyman at Richmond, where he was living with tliis girl as man and wife. Whon arrested on a charge of deserting his wifo, ho had the effrontery to deny his former marriage, foolishly believing that in the absonce of the certificate it could not be provod. The police authorities sent to Dunedin, and brought over Charles C. Arm strong, tho hotel keeper, who was present at the marriage. A copy of the registrar's certificate was also produced; and hisinjured wife, although in very ill health, and scarcely able to stand, gave her evidence to prove tho marriage which the prisoner re pudiated. The Key, Andrew Hardy, Char lotto Smith (sister of the prisoner's wife), Mary Jano Reid, and Isabel Gertrude Graham (the two last-named being witnesses of the second marriage), were also examined. The prisoner, in themostimpudent way, sought to damage the character of his second wife, and likewise her sister, a respectable domestic servant, by putting a series of abominable questions ; and he sought also to add to the injury he had already inflicted on his own wifo. He was committed for trial on both charges.

EXECUTION OF A MURDERER AT MELBOURNE.

William Barnes was executed for the murder of J. B. Slack on the 15th instant, at 10 o'clock, in the Melbourne Gaol. Barnoa was born at Chillingham, near Chatham, England. His father was a bootmaker. The family removed from London when Barnes was eight years old, where he was taught his father's trade, and also given a fair education. When « young man he was arrested for being concerned in a burglary, and was transported to Western Australia, where he again committed burglary, for which he was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment. When released he went to Victoria, and entered on a successful career of crime. Since the sentence of death for murdering Mr Slack was confirmed, Barnes has taken great interest in conversing with Dwyer, the governor of the gaol. He listened to the exhortations of the Key. H. F. Scott, the Church of England gaol chaplain, with great despondency; but the last two or three days he has prayed earnestly with the chaplain, frequently shedding tear. He epen t a sleepless night, andrefused to take any foodorstimulantonthemorningof execution. At ten o'clock the sheriff arrived, and made the usual formal demand for Barnes's body from the governor of the gaol. Then the hangman, who goes by the alias of John Jones, commenced to pinion the arms of Barnes, who submitted passively. The procession then marched to the drop, which is situated in the centre of the prison gal leries, and there the noose was adjusted. The prisoner's legs, in accordance with the custom of the Melbourne Gaol, were not pinioned. Death was instantaneous.
