Carpenter returned at tli3 end of March. During hh ftbience two or throe letters had stmck him as being "cold. 1 * On bin return lie found Mrs Car] enter still Jiving at Mrs Jiuid <,t'->. J>iro r t!y »m opportunity presented itself he asked her for tn sxplmation of tbo coldness ho hnd noticed in the letters. j^lr Hebkt'th hero explained that previous to her marriage an intimacy had existed betwoen the respondtt.t and % gentleman t-i'ioe t rciiuned (the Itev L. Ogg). Whio petitioner was laving in Sydney he mw an announcement of ft wedding ceiebiU J by the Rev Ogg. The petitioner roiHmled Hint h* nfw the aame man, and spoke to his wife- about, him. Sue confessed to loving him, but said, So boipme God, I ha»-r dune nothing to disgrace *iy children. They still conversed on the- »üb,ejt, nnd Mrs Carpenter contrasted her present irant with the position she would hare hold had olio married her former lover. She tola petitioner that she had received tlio cheque- for £\O, and that Barber had cached it for her, hrbeinr; the onlj gentle* man in tho hou*o to whom she could apply. This was, so far as Mr Carpenter knew, M»e first time his wife had spoken to Barber. Two days nfter tUis she told petitioner that Mr Ogg liml -eturned to Sydney. Curpen tu* about this time, met JEJ.arber and thanked him for cashing tho ehique. An intimacy then commenced — ripened into Im-udship. Mrs Carpenter finding that her husband had not, made the Sydney trip pay, resolved to stait a boarding hoxwe herself. jSh.e hid already told hiro more th>m onco that shfl hated him, ami thai she ih.l not >vi&h to depend upon huuibr support. Acting upon this idea Iho boarding house at, IJoli^e fcJourt ws taken .md iittoil up JYtn ionu 1 , respoxjdent, and co revSpomli'ijt all wi-iit to In c there Subsequently tho petitioner w«nt to Whanganu to dig gum, when * fflc-sJ remarkable coi respondonce between him. ainl his wife took place ; the declaim* passionately her love for him who was far away, whom he believed to be Ogg, but which it is intended to endeavour to prove was Barber After his return from Whnngarei, hi* wife determinedly refused to live with him, uuu went to keep house for Barber, whom Carpenter still believod to be his friend. Suddenly tho respondent went; away to Sydney, on returning unexpectedly,she told her husband that ?hc h?d been co-habiting with » m»n named Clay, m Sydney, aIBO that she had had improper intercourse with Barber. Petitioner refused to have anything to do with her, and she returned to Barber, and subsequently had a child to him. The evidence so far proved the birth of tho child and the acknowledgment of the pate) uity by Barber . The defence is that the petitioner was awaie of las wife's j,niilt, ami condoned the offence. The following facts have come to our knowledge : — Mr R. W. Woon, R M , hm reeonpd a telegram from Mr Mac Andrew, Superintendent of Otngo, backed up by one from [ the Native M.nisUr, instructing him to induct as many shearers nnd laboiers »* he can to leave this district for Otago, and to promise them six months' work. The Luna hat been fenl up, nnd we suppose will shortly be in "Wanginui, for the purpose of convoying away thoso whom Mr Woon may lm\e succeeded in enticing to leare the distriot. The above facts we can touch for ; and we understand, moreover, that Vv Woon's handiwork has been slightly visible tins morning, lor one of our settleri, requiring labor, was ausweicii by «omn men thit tley «c"c thinking of lejiTtna for Qt»vo under l\«i indutvim-nt offeteil hx Mr Woon. Wtrihana and Ivjnip, w-> understand, haie rejected the proposal, and informed fho pcr«on selected to do the Government's dirty woik, that there was plenty of employment for the natives in their own rielnct. The fact is that the G-overnnicnL are largely indebted to Mr Macandrew, and are not particular about '»!iat thpy are called upon to do for their patron nnd friend. It it quite in Leepmg with the native policj to select n j. okdia ilnori to do the most opprobrious part of choir unprincipled work. Our farmers aro crying iut fir Mhor, which is alieadj scarce and dear beyond all precedent m ipiroer lears, and tho G-overnment steamer » emplojed, at the behest of an influential Superinj tendent, tocoine and pajtiy'ruin oue district fpr thepijrposp of benefitti'ng anothe?. We Lnow that a Natne Magistrate is» mere tool in tho hands of llie Native Minister, but if he were not, we should tell him to inform his superior of the true *fate of affliirs. J]ut this biiMneei n.ust be nipped in the. bud ; it ib dHgiaeoftil to nil paities concerned ; it is an i'lsult tn the district, and it is a fraudulent attempt to beguile away labor to quarters where it would not be bonefitted by higher wages or more comtmt work. The vcrkmg classe.- wiil knou how to meet thn, first Government swindle, got up for political purposes.— IVavganui Herald. The Agenl-Ceneritl for New Zealand has entered iuto an •wilh Hollow y, one of the representatives of the Agrtcuiluial Laborers' Union, to accompany from 200 to 800 eimgi nnts who take passape in tlie Mongol on Dec. 15. Mr Holloway will see to the settlement of the emigrants mid return to England for the purpose of reporting on tho advantages of New Zealand as a field for emigration. This w » Wop in the right direction, for a practical know- ledge of the nctual wants and circumstances of Australian settlement, i» chiefly conspicuous by its absence on tho part of those directly engsgtsJ in the work of emigration here. Dr Featherston hope* to bo able to charter for emigrants the second steamer intended to carry the mail between STew Scutli Wclcs, New Zealand, tndSan Francisco, leaving in January. The ship Cluno, tlitt tailed from London on tho 18th November, took out, for New Zealand several specimens of cattle and shoep of the purest strains in England. They remitted of 'British I'lag.' a first prize animal, lately the pioperty of the Messrs Duddiug, of Punton, * Wellinglonia,' a splendid half-bred by Mr Kirkhom, of Audley Caistor, and 'Cherry Gwynne,' from the herd of Mr Sharpley, of Actborpe. The ltyt hail* from a herd of which a cow and three debcen.lauts, two heifers bull, realisod lit a recent sale nfarly £1500. Tneso, as well as tw«. ty-fire,f)ure Lincolnshire ewed, »re heing shipped by Mr I. Larkworthy, of the Bank of New Zealand. Twenty Lincoln ewes and two rams from tin* flocks of Mr loom as Ktrlrham, of Biscathorpe, rod the Mew^s Uu'klinp, of Panton, have aJ*o been shipped by the Cluoa for Sir Cracroft WU*on, of Canterbury. We (Advertiser) «ro to learn from a telegram which apptars elfcewborc, tbat there ip vttll * piospecfc of the cojjfi«ld at Mi,.inrla heing opened up by an English company. It wai reported that tho whole affair had broken down, but it wouM seem that this is not no, as a mining engineer has arrived for the purpose of examining the place on behalf of the English shareholders. We can only say that we hope his report will h» satisfactory, and that the Govcrnnjent will give the company every furtherance and aid it can. It is purposed to hold the ful'.on inp religious services in the Waikato to-morrow .— Churai oi Jincland— Cambridge, 11 -.-.-. , Haiiiiiror. 6 U>j p m ; Ng*-t»4nuhiu, 11 a.m. ; Cuaupo, 3.30 pm.

A large number of fufc cattle have left the Waikato this week for the supply of the Auckland market. The day is evidently not far distant when our fellow colonists in the South will hare to introduce immigrants to consume tbtir beef, or seek a market elsewhere. The meeting at Nuarutwihia of the members of the Church of Engliind appointed for tnis evenm.? is adjourned till the 21»t February. The cost of taking the railway through the town of New Plymouth (Taranaki) for compensation alone io estimated at £16,000.
