Two Maori chiefs, delegated by the natives of New Zealand to present a petition to. Her Majesty pointing out the injustice done the Maori race by the dealing of successive Governments with , the lands of the colony, have arrived in London. Great excitement prevails in the metropolis to»day about the state of affairs in Ireland. A number of wild rumors were current, indicating that some fresh outrages of a horrible nature had been perpetrated. Several high state officials were reported to have been assassinated, and Earl Clanricade was also said to be one of the victims. These rumors gained ready credence after the late horrible murders in Phoenix Park. When reliable information was received it was. ascertained that no fresh cases had been made by assassins upon State . representatives, but by details several murders came to hand. Lohdon, July 2.

Arabi Pasha is in possession of plans which were concocted some time ago by the Russian Government with a view to blocking the Suez Canal in case of war breaking out between Russia and England. v It is his intention in case England should forcibly interfere in Egypt, to avail himself of the Russian scheme, and in the meantime he is actively fortifying Alex^ andria, and preparing for a desperate defence by proposing a levy en messe on all the male population of Egypt. The Spanish Government are strongly in favor of a British occupation of Egypt. They don't consider it desirable for other Powers to interfere.
