FRIGHTFUL MASSACRE IN CIN’, — News
reached us by the last mail that near Chetoo the
rebels bad committed the most frightlul devasta-
tion; that neu, women, and children bad been
brutally murdered, some being burnt, others tied
to stukes, and others with ropes round their necks
dragged tu death by horses, At this juncture we
are told that the French landed 200 men and three
yuus to detend the place, aud that her Majesty's
gun-beat Insolent opened fire onthe rebels. Here,
then, the neutrality of whieh we justly boast anay
perhaps be said to have been violated. But it
must be remembered that the lives of Europeaas
were at stake; that this attack of the Taipiugs, or
rather of the local banditti which acknowledge the
rebel Emperor, was followed up by a most tright-
ful massaere; and strange indeed it would have
been at such a time it, with the power to intertere,
we had stood ehtirely aloof. The wretches who
attacked the villages adjoiniag Chetoo were not

on the inhabitants, but actually murdered two,

The ‘Correspondence Bullier,’a Paris lithographed

The Times of the 24th ult. has a lengthy article
upon the Prince Consort, of which we quote the
opening paragraph. It says :—* Yesterday the
yrave closed over all that was left us of the accom-

lished and amiable Prince who has for 20 years

ischarged the duties of his exalted position in a
manner to defy detraction and silence envy jiself.
Around his cotlin were gathered together all that is

| most lustrious, most venerable, and most powerful

in the country. Several prelates, capecially dis-
tirguished as the leaders of our ececlesiastical
hierarey, many Royal Princes and their Represen
tatives, the ministers to whom the destinies of the

country and the honour of the Crown are eutrasted,.

the duties of life with more exewplary and un-
swerving steadiness than himeclf. The day was
still and gloomy, as betitted the sorrowful oceusion,
and the melanehely trappings of woe, the long train
of plomed horses and imeurning coaches, lost on this
oceagion the impression of emptiness which is tov
apt to attaca.to such exhibitions of material sorrow,
und were slight, but still fitting, accompaniments to

the deep and sincere grief which was felt in every

heart as for a domestic calamity. Dut this sad
secne was only a specimen of what took place over
the whole suriace of busy, bustling England. Shops
were shut, labour was suspended, Exchanges were
closed, and the eountry veluntarily imposed upen
itself a fine which, probably, cannot be estimated at
less than a million sterling, in order to mark its re-
grot for the dead and its sympathy for the survivors,
A country whieh can thus mourn deserves to be thus
served. "We have buried our dead out of our sight
with u grief as sincere as unostentatious; but his
memory will live among us, and his mune will al

AUCKLAND, New ZeavLanp, October $th.—The

during the pust month has been the arrival of our
new Covernor, Sir George Grey, who landed in this

“ Coasack,” 41 days out from the Cape of Good

a moat eriticul period—a time when the present is |
uncertain, and the future moet diffieult to penetrate. |
The veil which is hanging over everything relating
tothe Maori people enshrouds their relationship

tery, but we took to Sir George Grey to act the |
magician’s part and dispel its gloor.

there ean be very little doubt that there is ne in-

moreover, that the Liberals had no influence at
