HORRIBLE MASSACRE IN FUL.

The Australian papere given full account of the mur-
der of the Rey T. Baker, Wesleyan missionary, Shad
rach Seileke, a native assistaut missionary, a native
eatechist and six (natives) students in the circuit train.

ing institution under Mr, Baker's superintendance, It)

appears that they were endeavoring to cross right over
the island of Viti-leva, ove of the Fiji group, 80 aa to
arrive ou the coast at Vuda. On Saturday, the 20th of

~«odaly, the party arrived at Gayadelavata, the principle

town belonging to the Navosa tribe. ‘Though they
_ Were vob received with cordiality, no hostile demonstra-
' “tins were made, and the whole party went peaceably

~~ to_rest. Ea:ly the next morning, howeser, Mr. Baker

_observod that the natives were moving about in an ex-
cited manner, and had left their planting. Tle seemed
, How to apprehend the worst cousequences, for he said,
*+ Boys, yourselves, and let ne be off, for [or] we
shall be killed to-day." When Mr. Baker had conducted
their morning devotions—singing, reading. and praying
«hestepped out again. whereapon the chief, Nakata-
~ Kataimesi, came up and said, * Come, let us show you
‘the way to Vuda.’’ Mr. Baker called his party out, and
" -wlhyen all were ready they took their departure, the chief
teading the way with a small battleaxe in bis hand, be-
ing closely followed by Mr. Baker. After proceeding
in single file for about 100 yards, one of the students,
who had stopped to speak to one of the natives, looking
ound, saw the people coming rapidly out of the differ-
ent houses with their guus and clubs, aud hurrying er
enspicionsly alter them. He turned and ran, aud, with
& companion from the institution, whe, too, was a few
yards* behind the main party, rushed past Alsea, the
eatechier, into the middle of the line, saying at the sane
time, “* We are to be clubbed.” Aivea, who was carry-
ed Ae small tin box upon his right shoulder, replied,
“If we are, that won't save you,” which he had no
sooner uttered thau he was strack with a clut from
behind, '
' The box, however, received the full force of the blow,
, and werely glanced agninst tho left side of his head.
Fle dropped the hox aud rushed from the path. Mr.
Baker turned round at once on hearing the stir behind
and the noise of the blow upon the box, and with his
right hand upraised he eaid, * Don't ran away,” or
Don't ** when the chief, who was immediately before
him, tarned sharply roend at the same time, and struck
him on tho lower part of the back of the neck with his
axe, and he fell dead upon the spot. The native min-
ister, who wae but a few yards or feet behind, stooped
down over the body to kiss it, saying ashe did go * We
_ will die together with cur missionary,” in which post.
tion he too was chopped down. All the party was in-
atantly despatched with the exception of Aivea and
Josefata. There men only ran a few yards and then
threw themselves down, and crept under the long and
decayed weeds. By the exercise of a great amount of skill
both ef them managed to escape and convey the tidings
to the head quarters of the missionaries. At the time
when the intelligence of the crime was despatched pre-
arations were being made to seni! an army into the
anterior to pnnish all the tribes concerned in the affair.
The Chief Thakohau had been applied to by the acting
Consal for the production of the murderers of a British
eubject, and had promised to do his utmost to scenre
them. The white residenta had held meetings, and had
resolved to assist the chief by furnishing him with arms
aud amunition.

MISFORTUNES OF A TRUE MAN,

The London correepondent of the Turf, Field and
Farm writes as follows :—

“The great turf ‘sensation’ of the dey is the sudden
collapse of the Marquis of Hastings the prince of ‘plan-
gers,’ and Ivading spirit of the * New England school,’
whose magnificent stad of thorenghbreds, perhaps the

finest in the kingdom, is advertived to be sold by public dry feet. Below the falls was the wonder of wonders. | and indisereet person would commit a ‘common assault, : ; ' ?

this object. He has given fabulous prices for fashion-
able bred yenrlings; he has expended thousands on
trial horees; he bas secured the services of the best
jockeys of the day, regardless of expetse—and to his
eredit, be it said—though after all it sounds bata ‘faint
phrase’ when spoken of an English nobleman—all his
dealings ou the turf have been marked, from first to last,
hy ecrupulons integrity. and unblemished honor. Such
enterprising conduct deserves ‘ts reward; and it must
be confessed that, take it asa whole, fortune has not
not been unkind to him, Itis true he has met with se-
vere disappointments, Witness the rank brute Kanga-
roo, for whom he gave the enormous sum of £12,000;
_ hat on the other hand eome of the richest prizes on the
turf have fallen to his share. I have no hesitation in
saying that during the past twelve months he must
have won in stakes and bets over three of his horses,
a little short of £200,000, and yet. now, with a fair
_prospeet of winning next year's Derby, he is compelled
o pnil up abruptly in the middle of lis career, aud of-

_ fer the Chale of his valuable studs for sale,

Everyone who knows anything ofthe Marquis's char-
acter, and his deep love—I had almost written passion
for the turf, must be satisfied that nothing short of the
most urgent necessity would have induced him to take
thisstep. And yetin the face of the enormous snms
he must have won, it does seem at a first passing
strange that he should be reduced eo soon to such a po-
‘sition. But when we take all the circumstances of the

ease into. consideration, the result will not surprise us,

«for considering his status in society, tho Marquis is by
yo means arich man), it stands to reason under sach
circumstances, that nothing shorcof ‘the devil's own
luck’ would suflice to make both ends meet for any
Jergth of time. Add to all this a weakness for ‘ama-
teur book-making,’ and 4 ‘faney’ for ‘peppering’ to the
tune of some 70,000, the boree, Who as it happens, wins

than £50,000 a year, axeaming the cost of each horse
to be £1000 per annum, which 1 believe may be taken
asa fair average, and to this lL mainly attribute the
necessity for the sadden step he has taken.”
