War had ceased, and men looked forward
to a long period of repose, during which all
the exertions of the Government and all the
money saved would be expended on im-
proving the country and the condition of its
inhabitants. "Man proposes, but God
disposes." Some evil disposed persons act-
ing on interested motives, persuaded the
Sepoys that the Government was preparing
to force them to become Christians, and that
for this purpose the cartridges served out to
the Sepoys were made up with the fat of hogs
and cows, the former of which would defile
the Mussulmans, and the  latter would make

trated at Cawnpore, a large station 50 miles
from Lucknow, the Capital City of the King
of Oude.

Near Cawnporo lived Nana Sahib, a na-
tural son of a great Mahratta Chief, who en-
joyed a large pension from the English and
lived in a splendid palace, where he associated
on the  most intimate terms with the English,

When the news of the revolt reached this
place and was joined in by the Sepoys, Nana
Sahib comforted the English with assurances
that they might rely on his friendship, and
that he would protect them if they would
trust themselves to him. For some time a
handful of officers and men, encumbered with
a number of women and children. preferred
to defend themselves in a barrack against

the  attacks of the Sepoys, but the number of
the latter was so great and their command of
artillery and ammunition so vast, that de-
fence was impossible, they therefore sur-
rendered to Nana Sahib, not knowing that he

bad murdered several boat-loads or English
women who were seen passing by his palace

on their way to Calcutta. At first he appeared
to treat those who surrendered kindly, and
provided them with boats, but no sooner were
they embarked than he caused masked bat-
teries to open from both sides of the river,

and destroyed all the men, reserving the  wo-
men for the miserable fate which befell them
a short time after. At Lucknow there was
one English regiment and some artillery, with

whakaritea ana e te Kawanatanga he moni
nui i roto i te tau hei moni mana. Ko ona
hoa noho tahi, kai tahi, korero tahi ko te
Ingarihi, ara, ko nga Pakeha. Ka tae te
rongo o te whakatikanga o nga hoia Hipoi
ki Kanapoa. uru ana nga Hipoi o Kanapoa.
Na, ka mea a Nana Tahipi kinga Pakeha kia
kaua ratou e wehi, mana hoki ratou e
awhina; me piri ratou ki a te, ke ia hei wha-
kamarumaru. Kihai i whakaae wawe kia
haere ki a ia, ahakoa torutoru noa iho nei
te ropu hoia pakeha me o ratou Apiha i
rokohanga ki reira, tauteute ana i nga wahine
i nga tamariki, tena kihai i tinia e te wehi.
huihuia ana ki to ratou na paraki hoia, waiho
kia huakina mai e nga Hipoi, kihai i hohoro

te hoa riri me nga purepo, ki te whakaeke i
to ratou paraki, te taea te noho e mou, ka
tahi ka whakaae kia haere ki a Nana Tahipi,
hua noa kei te pono ano ona whakaaro,
kaore, kua rua nga poti tomo i nga wahine
Pakeha i whakamatea e taua nanakia ki te
awa, i te mea e rere ana ki Karakata. Na,
ka tinihanga tana whakahaere ki taua hunga
i rere ki a ia mana e awhina, ka atawhaitia
e ia, homai ana he poti mo ratou kei kahaki i
a mou, kaore, be hianga kau. Eke rawa
atu te hunga HI ki nga poti, meinga ana
e ia kia puhia mai ki nga purepo i tenei  taha
i tera taha o te awa. Ko nga lane ka whaka-
matea katoatia, whakatoea ana nga wahine
hei toenga, hei tukino nanakia rawa ma ra-
tou, muri iho ka tukitukia hoki. I taua pa, i
Rakanau, kotahi te rangapu hoia Pakeha, me
etahi purepo, be tini hoki nga Apiha me nga
wahine Pakeha. Na, ka toe te rongo o era
atu wahi, ka hanga to ratou kainga noho hei
pa mo ratou. Haere mai te ope a te hoa riri,
ki te ki a te tangata, i 50, 000 o nga Hipoi,
he tini hoki nga purepo, kihai to ratou pa i
taea.

I Wiki noa, marama noa, me te toa tonu te
ouou hoia Pakeha ra, te taea to ratou pa e

i a ratou. Puataata ana nga whare i nga

a Ha Henare Rarene, he mata hu i hu ki

any officers and women, and they, hearing
what bad happened elsewhere, fortified them

selves fo the Residency, and defended it
against an army which is said to have
reached 150,000 men, with an enormous
number of guns.

Week after week, month after month, did
this little garrison hold out against the Host
which assailed them. The Residency was
riddled with shot and shell, and the com-
mander, Sir Henry Laurence, was first wound-
ed by a shell which burst in the room he was
sitting in, and then killed by another in the
same place on the following day. Provisions
and ammunition were both failing, and but
for their trust in GOD'S providence and the
stoutness of their English hearts, they must
have been annihilated. 

No sooner, however, had the news of all
these disasters reached the Govenor General
than be sent ia every direction for more
troops, and gathered together those under his
control, which had been scattered through
the provinces, suspecting no treachery and
fearing no attack.

First an army was collected to attack
Delhi, that great city, which is surrounded
with recently repaired fortifications seven
miles io circuit. Ten thousand men were
collected for this purpose, but the army in-
side the walls is supposed to have been
nearly forty thousand. These last laughed at
the insignificant numbers of the English and
came outside to fight meaning to envelop
them by numbers and utterly destroy them.
Battle after battle was fought, in every one
of which the English were victorious, until
at tost they! bought themselves strong enough
to storm the city. This great feat of war
was accordingly attempted and accomplished
in three days. First the fortifications were
breached and stormed, then the Palace, then
street by street and house by house was ta-
ken. Every place capable of affording shel-
ter was defended by men who knew that they
fought for their lives. The fight was terrible,
and the carnage dreadful. The King and
bis sons fled, but the two latter were captured

and slain. The King, stricken in years and
hoary in wickedness, was made prisoner,
tried and found guilty of causing the murder
of hundreds of helpless women and children,
who vainly appealed to him for protection
and reminded him what he and his fathers
owed to the British Government.

While this was going on at Delhi, Have-
lock, whose name is dear to Englishmen, took
men and fought his way up to Cawnpore.
where be was too late to save the  victims of
Nana Sahib's perfidy who had all been mur-
dered, and then, (assisted by Outram), braved
the enemy, whose force was twenty limes
greater than his own, and threw in supplies
to the garrison of Lucknow. His force was
so small, however, that he dared not attempt
to bring away the women and children. and
was obliged to leave them where they were.

What has been described occupied se-
veral months, and the news had reached
England and stirred up the heart of the na-
tion as that of one man. and one cry of ven-
geance ran through the length and breadth
of the land.

Ship after ship steamed and sailed away
to Calcutta bearing its freight of fierce war-
riors grim and eager for revenge. Sir
Colin Campbell, a veteran of 70 years, bred
in war, and experienced in battle in every
part of the world, took men and hastened up
to Lucknow; there he hoped the Sepoys
would the gathered from all parts of Bengal
and that their enormons superiority of num-
ber and the strength of their position would
induce them to bold out and enable him to
make a terrible example. He was partially,
but not entirely correct, in his views. They
did oppose him, and he did inflict such
havoc among them as made the hearts qua ke
of those who viewed the City and the plain
when the enemy left it. The City was, how-
ever, so large, and the enemy so numerous
that it was impossible to provent the  escape
of large bodies of men, who, though broken
and discomfited, have spread over the coun-
try, carrying dismay into  the homes of their
own countrymen, and committing all sorts of
ravages upon the poor country people who

would not join in their rebellion against the
Queen.

Delhi, Cawnpore, and Lucknow have
been recaptured by the bravery of our army.
and the garrison and inhabitants of the latter
place have been rescued. Deeds of valor
have been done by our men, and even by
our women, which will live in history and
in song, while the world lasts. Blood has
been poured out like water, and justice
has been done on thousands who turned
traitorously to rend the hand  that fed and
caressed them.

Amid all these disasters the fidelity and 
attachment of the great Chiefs (with very few 
exceptions) to- the Queen's Government, have
shone forth gloriously, and exhibited a strong
contrast to the perfidy of the spoiled and
over-indulged sepoys. Scindiah, the des-
cendant of the great Mahratta Chief con-
quered by General Lake, took the field on
our side with all his followers, though
bis sepoys had deserted and joined the
enemy. Vast sums were offered to the Go-
vernment by great Hindoo merchants, and
Jung Bahadour, the Chief of Nepaul, brought
down an army from Nepaul to our assist- 
ance. The nobles and the peasants have alike
been true to their Sovereign, and the sepoys
alone, who have most cause for gratitude,
have proved faithless.

The war is over, but there will be much
fighting while the broken bands of Sepoys
are being hunted from their hiding places,
and it is feared that the innocent Hindoo
peasant will undergo terrible atrocities at
the bands of these miscreants. Let us hope
they will be induced to make some compari-
son between the conduct of a people who
are governed by the laws of a God of Mercy,
and that of their own people, who worship
devils, and cannot be better than the ob-
jects of their adoration.

doubt the ability of Tasmania to furnish
supplies to any extent; but granting even
that she can, there will be still sufficient
scope for the New Zealand growers, unless
they should mar their own fair prospects by
stickling for prices which the merchants
cannot possibly afford to give.

The  only foreign arrival has been the
brig Moa, 257 tons, Captain Bowden, with
a general cargo of merchandise and eight
passengers from Sydney. From the South,
we have bad the brig Swan, 149 tons,
Captain Anderson, with sundries and three
passengers from Otago, and Lytteton;—
the schooner Emily Allison, 99 tons, Cap-
tain Ruxton, from Port Napier, in ballast,
with five passengers; the schooner Ann, 57
tons, Captain Wallace, also from Port
Napier, in ballast; and the Bishop of New
Zealand's schooner Southern Cross, 70 tons,
Captain Sustins, from a Missionary voyage
to the Melanesian and Norfolk Islands.

The departures have been the brig Ger-
trude, 118 tons, Captain Dunning, for
Sydney, with 100 tons of potatoes, and five
passengers; the schooner Gazelle, 212 tons,
Captain Phillip Jones, also for Sydney, with
1785 bushels wheat, 17 cwt. cheese, 20 cwt.
butter. 51 ¼ tons potatoes, 5 tons 1 cwt.
onions, 40 tons kauri gum, 4000 feet sawn
timber. and eleven passengers; the cutter
Aquilla, 26 tons, Captain Sellars, for Port
Napier, with 1100 posts and rails, 700
palings, 200 bags flour, and sundry mer-
chandise.

There are not many vessels in port at
present, and of those most are preparing
to depart. The Moa is loading rapidly for
Sydney, for which port the Swan has also
been advertised. The Gil Blas is about to
ship a cargo of kauri timber for Otago, and
the barque the Bride is loading with timber
for Hong Kong.

From the coast, there have arrived 34
vessels of 723 tons, with 50 passengers,
5598 bushels wheat, 510 bushels maize,
156 bushels oats, 10 bushels barley, 63

onions, 90 bags flour. 50 Ib s. honey,

pork, 44½ cwt. bacon, 2 kits dried fish, 5

tons towai bark, 260 tons firewood, 400
posts and rails, 16, 000 shingles, 2 boats, 2
pigs, 9 sheep, and 26 bead of cattle.

The number of vessels that have departed
for the coast have been 29 of 712 tons,
with 57 passengers, and the usual amount
of trading cargoes.

Trade has been very dull; and not a
little depression has followed upon the
heels of the late disastrous fire, in which
many industrious and. deserving persons
have been severe sufferers, and which has
entailed a large amount of destruction on
those whose shops and dwellings were not
insured.

It may not here be out of place to say a
word or two respecting the nature and
advantages of insuring property against fire,
as well as ships against wreck. Insurances
against fire are almost always effected by
 large and wealthy companies, mostly
resident in England. In Auckland, in con-
sequence of the buildings being for the greater
part of wood, the rate of insurance is
higher than in other places, and varies
according as the houses are detached for or
connected with each other. The  person
insuring, say his house and furniture, for
the sum of £1000, will have to pay 121. 10s.
every year if it be built of brick and slated,
and a larger sum if built of wood and
shingled. Should House and furniture, at
the time of this insurance, be burnt down
or destroyed. the Insurance Company is
bound to make good all the losses, so that
by this vise and provident arrangement
persons who ran the risk of being ruined
in a moment have the means of guarding
themselves against the unforseen destruction
of their, property. lnsurance Companies
are generally very rich, because, although
they have occasionally very serious losses
to pay, the great number of persons who
every year insure, and who escape from the
disastrous effects of fire, tend to swell their
coffers in a surprising manner. Property
to the extent of 1O, OOO1 is said to have
been insured upon the recent  occasion.
On the other hand, property estimated at
from 15, 0001. to 20, 0001. has been lost in
consequence of the owners not having
insured the same.

tika, 29 kaipuke, 712 tana, 57 tangata eke,
me nga taonga.

E ngoikore rawa ana te mahi hokohoko
inaianei, na te weranga o te taone tetahi
wahi, he tokomaha nga Pakeha mahi pai o
te taone kua rawakoretia i tenei mea, a he
nui hoki nga moni kua ngaro o te hunga
kihai na i Inihua i o ratou whare.

Me puaki pea i konei etahi kupu mo nga
pai o tenei mea o te Inihua i te taonga, mo
te weranga mo te aha, i te kaipuke hoki mo te
tahuri mo te pakaru ranei. Ko te tikanga
o tenei kupu, he moni e whakaritea ana e te
tangata nona taua taonga, whare ranei, kai-
puke ranei, kia homai e te runanga inihua me
he mea ka wera tona whare tona taonga
ranei, ka tahuri ranei tona kaipuke; ko nga
utu mana ki taua runanga he mea homai e
ia i roto i nga tau katoa, a rokohanga rawa
e te aitua, wera ana tona whare tona aha, na
ka whakaputaina katoatia mai e taua runanga
inihua nga moni i whakaritea. He toko-
maha nga Pakeha whai moni e hui tahi ki
te mahi i tenei tikanga, ko te nuinga o aua
hunga mahi penei kei Ingarani. He tini ke
nga whare papa ki Akarana, na reira ka
whakanuia nga utu tau mo te inihuatanga,
be tikanga utu ano mo te whare e tu ana ko
ia anake, he tikanga ano mo te whare e tata
ana ki etahi atu whare. Ko te tangata e
mea kia inihuatia tana whare, tana taonga
aha ranei, mo nga pauna IOOO1, kia homai
mehemea ka wera i te ahi, na, me utu e ia i
roto i nga tau katoa kia 121.  10s., me he
mea ia he whare pereki tona whare, me he
tereti hoki nga toetoe o runga; me he mea
he whare papa, ka neke ake nga utu.

Me he mea ka wera tona whare me ona
taonga i muri i taua whakaritenga, ara, i te
inihuatanga, penei ka utua katoatia e taua
runanga inihua, Ka whai te tangata i tenei
tikanga pai, wera ka wera tona whare, ekore
e ngaro rawa ona taonga, ma konei hoki
ka whai mea tona ringa hei arai mo te aitua.
Ko nga Pakeha e hui tahi ana ki te mahi i
tenei tikanga, e whiwhi nui ana ki te moni,
ina hoki, ahakoa he mea ano ka nui rawa o
ratou moni e puta atu ina wera etahi whare,
ina tahuri etahi kaipuke, tena be tini ke nga
tangata e inihua ana i o ratou whare, i o ratou
kaipuke, i roto i nga tau katoa, te wera hoki
i te ahi, na konei o ratou pouaka moni i
hohoro ai te ki, ko nga taonga i inihuatia i
roto i enei i wera nei, e tae ana ki te 10, 0001.
e kiia ana. Ko nga taonga kaore i inihua-
tia e whakaarohia ana ka tae ki te 15, 0001.
ki te 20, 0001. ranei, ngaro rawa atu enei, no
te mea hoki kahore i inihuatia e te hunga no
ratou aua mea, ara, aua whare, aua taonga.
