I By the arrival of the schooner Active j j from Auckland, on Sunday last, we have j j Colonial files to the 19th ult., and Enro'pean telegrams to the 18th. The Colonial | | papers are full of details of the Melbourne | Exhibition, which opened last month, and I which ix likely to "prove as great a success as tho World's Fair held at Sydney last. ■'rear. Affairs in Europo, us will bo seen by the telegrams which wo publish in n j condensed form in this issue, are in a j very unsettled' condition. Ireland is in • what might be. termed a state of rovolu- ! lion, and agrarian outrages .are of dailv i | occurrence in that unhappy country. On ! the Continent, the Eastern Question is (still tho bugbear, tho Porte evidenllv j being determiu.'d, if possible, to thwart I tho wishes of the Great Towers and llus-« \ Powers equally determined to compel him . to observe Treaty obligations. No further j direct mention is made of the rotations j Ibetwoeji: Uonuiuiv and France, which were reported some time ago'to fie'so.tm"-.. . ivhat sii'ioi'd, but judifiiiit from n .r- J |' piicps it !* not at all unlikely that before i another year opens Kurope will be.pluugcd j in a general war. I Ml'siciPAuCiiriif.—Tliofollowingc.ases have been dealt with in ibis Court, be"f6re R. Hethcrington. Ksq., Municipal Magistrate, and Moisake, Native Magistrate, during the past week:—Oh the . 10th Mna, Ola,' and Faiiniuli'wcro charged.with stealing firewood nt Faleata. The oft'enee haying been proven, each of the limber lifters received n sentence of s;j | line, or six days' imprisonment with hard . labour. Fine paid, after experiencing "lie day's imprisonment. The eompiaiuin this case were Messrs.Trood and Hunt. It would appear that the white landowners at Faleata have for some time been complaining that the trees on their swamp . land there were being cut down, and tile timber sold by Samoans in Apia in considerably quantities, but up to this iime , they were unable to detect the thieves. i Tnr. Native War.—The same wesson- '. get- who luiitight the news from Savaii of J Malietoii's death, also reported that there ' was a probability of a close being put to ' the hostilities on this Group by a fnendlv ' arrangement between the two contending factions. Unhappily, this report lias proved untrue, for we now learn that the, Old Party are determined to prosecute tho war at, all hazards, jj hits been freely stated in town since tho news of Malietoa's death became known, that Mnlietoa Laupepa would prove more acceptable to (he Old Party than his deceased uncle, but the present position of affairs would seem to belie this statement. Mamktoa and Captain Oeoroe! BROWN, U.S.N.—We have received for imbh'catiou a eopv of the replv made by Malietoato the sjiooeh delivered by Captain George Brown, of the T'.S.S. Alaska, akMuiinuu in September last' but owing to pressure on our space, we have been compelled to hold it over.
