New York Srapr THEATRE.—A large, select and highly discriminating house, composed, of course, mainly of our German population, filled this capa- cious theatre last evening to witness the opening of the summer season of German opera under direcuion of that popular maestro, Oarl Bergmann. The opera selected for the introductory performance was “Faust’’—that opera whose grandly exquisite musi- cal gems, whose plot, so full of strange beauty, and whose touching denouement have given it such high d firm hold of the sympathies of opera-goers. rely has the opera been better interpreted than last Srecing: ibs Frederici, a8 Margaretta, showed herself an artist o( rare merit. Wile her acting waa powerthiie ‘dramatic, her singing was impassioned and in the tenderer passages full of touching mfe- lody. Miss Johannsen, as Siebel, was most aruistic and her rendering of the charaeter exquisitely faithiul, Mr. Himmer, a8 Faust, was most lappy, and, if anything, surpassed the charming brilliancy of his previous performances in this 7d”, Mephis- topheles found a splendid and powerful delincator in Mr. Weinlich, As Valentin, Mr, Steinecke re- ceived @ due share of the general applause. Most of the artists had to submit to encores. The opera was ‘a tine success, and appreciated as its merits and the mertis of the arusts deserved. ‘his evening will be given “The Freischutz."’ During the season there will be opera four nights each week—on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Musical and Theatrical Notes. The thermometer and barometer exercise a greater influence on the treasury of a theatre than outsiders wotof, Heat, cold orrain have much to do with empty benches or standing room only. ‘The ap- proach of the dog days has consequently put man- agers at their wils’ end to devise attractions strong enough to induce sweating humanity to quit the stifling street for the still more stifling theatre. This is especially the case at summer matinées, Sol and Lirias are at their worst pnase in the afternoon about the time that the doors of our metropolitan show shops are thrown open, and the glare of red fire and the footlights convert each auditorium into a Tovhet. Still people feel it a duty to patronize places of amusement during the dog days, and for their benefit we ,append the following list of amusements for tis afternoon:— At Wood’s Museum they alter the days of the week and exhibit Friday for «he iast time. “Kobinson Crusoe” of course Will also be on band. “L'lrma Perickole” will warble at the Fifth Avenue theatre, The “Lady of Lyons’ will produce Claude Mel- notte at Booth’s. Charley White has the ominous words “At last ! at last!’ on his bills, and notwithstanding the temper- ature should be favorable to ‘Pluto,’ he withdraws that interesung individual from the Comique. ‘The weather is just the thing for the blondes at Niblo’s in their stage costumes, and “Sinbad” and the Clodoche dancers are threatened for this after- noon. Toe haw ye will be thrown open for the accom- modation of all who desire to study the Chaldean play of “Hiccory Diccory Dock,” with the misan- thropte Fox and the festive Kiraltles. A patriotic matinée will be given at the Grand Opera House, especially provided by Victorien Sar- don amd Delille. Romeo Clorinda LefMfingwell will make his per- spiring friends laugh in spite of themselves at the many. The clever little Willmores will set Ixion’s wheel in motion at the Waverley. ‘Tony Pastor threatens to Kill Desdemona at his Opera House. ‘The coolest and most attractive place i town at present is the Central Park Garden, where Lueodore Thomas waves care away with his baton. At Hooley’s, across the waver, the Gregory Family will do their best to break thoir necks on the trapeze. One of the most laugh: performances of the season will be given at tle Theatre Frangals on Mon- day night, when the charming Desclauzas takes her benefit. She will appear as Pitou, ihe gendarme, in “Genevieve,” with Rose-Bell as the Sergeant. For tudicrous effect this will surpass ler periori- ance of General Boum at Juignet’s beneilt.

Couclusion of the Coroner’s Inquest—A Vere dict of Justifable Homicide, The inquest over the body of Jeremiah Strickland, who was shot and Killed on Tuesday last by his brother-in-law, Isaac 8. Waters, was concluded last evening before Coroner Whitehill and a jury at the Foufth district court room, Williamsburg. The only evidence of importance taken yesterday afternoon was the deposition of Rev. Mr, Johuson, City Mis- slonary. That gentleman testified to his visiting Strickland while he was lying wounded at No. 41 South Fifth street. Strickland used many profane expressions before he died, but he repeatedly told Mr. Johnson that he did not blame Waters for shoot- m. we ‘ne entire testimony was submitted to the jury, and aitera brief absence the foreman, Alderman Armfieia, handed in the followmg verdict:—“We find that Jeremiah StrickjJand came to his death by pistol shots, at the hands of Isaac 8. Waters, and that the said Isaac 5. Waters was acting th sell- defence, and we therefore exonerate hun from all responsibility, believing that he was justifiabiec i so doing, he fearing that ius own life was in jeopardy atche time, on the ist of June, i869, at 41 South Fifth street, Brooklyn." The Coroner took bail for the prisoner's appear- ance beiore the District Attorney in case that oili- cial should want him, and Mr. 8, 5. Harding became his surety in the sum of $500.

The war fmgate Kay-Yoo-Mar (lightbringer), built by these pS men for the Japanese government through the terceasion of the Dutch government and the Netherland Trading Soctéty (a company formed on the same principles as the formeriy renowned East India Company and acting as agents for the government in all shipments to and from the colonies) is one of the finest wai vessels of the different navies, Just now they are building another frigate on the same pian as the Kay-Yoo-Mar, under the supervision of oficers of the Dutch Naval Department.

(From the Mobile Register, May 23.) THE DEMOCRATIO PARTY IN ALADAMA.

Te Kooti, the leader of the Hauhaus, on the west coast, is not dead, as reported, and ts again gather- ing together his followers for a vigorous renewal of ‘the conflict. He was certainly severely wounded at the taking of Ngatepa, but nas since recovered com- pletely. There 18 still, however, some doubt as to whether the present leader of the Eastern rebels is really Te Kooti, or only his successor to the chief- tainship. isut whoever he may be he seems likely to give a great deal of trouble and anxiety to the colo- nial government. He is reported to have already mustered between 250 and 300 men, and is therefore quite strong enough to do a great deal of mischief. General alarm is felt all along the coast lest there should be a repetition of the horrors of Poverty Bay. The last report is that Te Kootl 1s constructing a redoubt at Mairaiti, that he has been reinforced by a large number of the Uriveras, and that the women and children have been sent away to the care of some friendly tribes in the interior. On the West Coast aifairs are yet more gloomy and discouraging. Another horrible massa- cre of settlers has taken place, as cowardly, brutal and revolting as that which occurred a few months ago on the East Coast, though, fortunately, the vic- tims are fewer in number, The scene of the present tragedy is White Clits, a small settlement in the ‘Taranaki district, only some twelve or fourteen miles from the town of Taranaki. Through the friendly natives full particulars of the manner in which the murders were committed have been received. A party of the Maoris, headed vy a chief named Te Weteri, who has hitherto been regarded as neutral in the war, came to the clits in broad daylight. Only two of the Europeans were at the blockhouse, and a’ they suspected no unfriendly design on the part of tueir visitors they were easily induced to go down to the beach and look at some pigs which the Maoris stated they had brought forsale, Both of the unfortunate men were toma- hawked and Killed. Shortly afterwards Lieutenant Gascoigne, his wife and children, who had been working in their field of corn and potatoes, came up to the redoubt. The Maoris met the lieutenant with great cordiality, and they ali shook hands with him, but as he was raising his hand to open his door he was struck from behind with a tomahawk and Killed. Mrs. Gascoigne and her three children were de- spatched in the same manner. The remaining vic- tim, the Rev. J. Whiteley, a Wesieyan missionary, was met as he was approaching the settlement and was ordered to return forthwith to Taranaki. On refusing to do this he was shot dead, five bullets having been sursequenily found in his pody. The work of murder having been accomplished Wetert and his followers burned the blockhouse and the redoubt and retired w the intertor, The follow- ing day a settler named McDonaid passed the scene of the massacre and rode into Taranaki and gave information to the authorities. A party was at once seat out to coliect the bodies, the usual mquest was held and the usual verdict returned. On the day of the funeral al! the banks and stores of Tara- nakl were closed and the settlers turned out en masse as mourners. A monument is to be erected, by subscription, 1 memory of the unfortunate set- tlers. The Rev. Jolin Whiteley was by far the most promi- nent of the victiins, and the apperent reluct- ance of the rebels vo Kill him 1s ‘easily accounted for, This gentioman has laborea as a missiouary in New Zealand ever siuce the year 1833, long before the first settlement of Whites was establish: His name stands out very conspicuously in the early history of the Maori mis- sion, and apart irom ‘his efforts to convert the natives he did a great deal of good in endeavors to teach them the arts of peace. was sixteen years at Kawhia, and while there acquired such in- fluence among the Watkato tribes as enabled him on one occasion to induce them to liberate the Tarana- kis, whom they had captured in War and retained as slaves.

JQ!s belief was largely based on the supposed capture of Tito Kowari. jut it now turns ouc that the Tito Kowaru tn the hands of the cglopjal govergment is a spurious Unjisation of that ib 5 ble rebel, Who is still at the head of a considerable body of men, although of course his losses at Nguta-o-te-Manu and Nukumaru have seriously Weakened his power for mischicl. The supposition that the enemy had at any rate gone far beyond the Waitoiara river soon eo to be unfounded. A party of Gleven méh, lulled by the general rumor of the wight of the Maoris, ventured to cross the river to a peach orchard belonging to a refugee settler for some fruit. They had searcely moored their canoe when they were fired upon by a Maori ambuscade, aad ouly three of them escaped by swhuming back to the Karaka side of the river. Polonel Whitmore, having completed his prepara- tidhs, at length left Wereroa, where he had encamped after the taking of Nukumaru and made a road through the bush to Wairoa, His advance w necessarily extremely slow, and for some days was unable to learn the # rection which the rebel had taken, Ou the of March, however, an escort of flity men, conveying stores and rations from Patea to Wairoa, were attacked by a party of 100 to 190 rebeis on she Patea side of the Whenuakura river. The drays were crossing the river when they were fired upou by an ambuscade, The escort drew up the rematuing Wagons aud took shelter behind them, Here ty mained in a stute of siege for a couple of days, When they were relieved by another force under Colonel St. John coming to the rescue. as I believed wrote that island to the vou, ft natives had dispersed way in stmuall parties The position of the enemy Was now of course known, and to the general surprise of the forces it was found that Tito Kowaru, instead of retreating into the interior, had taken up his position at the pa of Otoia, situated between the colonial forces and the coast. ‘The pa was found to have been for- tifed with the usual engineoring skill of the Maor ouch as to storm on itmore organized his hitaself moved on with he sent Colon st.

Both on the east and west coast, therefore, there is an organized army of rebels, led by trusted and desperate leaders, and capable of any atroci This wouid be @ state of things bad enough to us anxtous and despondent; but the latest 1 ‘y e tenor than this. In a former letter [gave an account of te aims and policy of King Tawhiao, who, although he ts powerless to stop w few of the tribes from making War, could with ease by ® few words raise the present rebellion to the importance of a great strugmie. The terms upon which he ta willing to remain a3 at present—neutral—have been already announced, and they are nothing short of a recognition by the Pakena (European) government of his absolute sovereignty in the interior, and a complete isolation of his subjects from the whites. If these are granted he will use his influence to quell the rebellion, and wili refuse an asyiam in iis domtn- tons to the leaders of the rebel tribes. But, unless they are forthwith granted, it is pretty clearly hinted to be his ye to jotn the Hauhaus. The last ye beard of the King was that he attended a large meet- log of natives at Kawhia on the 9th inst., and that, aftet refusing to accept the proposal of some of his chiefs to attack Waikato, he gave notice of a large ug to ve held in April at Hangatiki, when, it ositively promised, the question of war or y should be finally settled. The invitations ecting in je all the tribes, and a number of whites have been asked to attend. Upon the decision made by the King at this meet- ing everything depends. If tt be peace, it 1s pretty certain that the rebeis now in the fleld can be effectu- ally put down; but it is not likely at present that it will be peace, unless the terms which I have stated above, and which it is said the King has privately tranamitted to the government, are openly re- cognized by the whites, If, on the other hand, the decision arrived at be war, the present contest will last for years, and the homo government will be m honor bound to come to the resene of the colonists, It is true that the King can never meet the whites near the coast in open battle, but he can drive them out of the island by constantly harassing them by gue- rilla massacres, such as those of Poverty Bay and White Citits, In the Waikato the home government tained a force of 10,000 men in the field, and even then had hard work in forcing the natives to be quiet. The natives are cer- tainly now Very mach fewer in numbers than in 1860, -portatioe,.one “that may at no ‘distant time lead to ie alienation of New and from the British em- plre—the great discontent now existing on the part of the colonists at the persistent neglect of the home government of the wae heipless condition of the colony. When the Waikato war closed and the col- ony becam: seif-governing community it is true the British @vernment warned the colonists that they would have for the future to get over their native difficulties = ag best they could, An offer was made, however, to maintain an English regiment in New Zealand to be used in this special service if the colony would consent to vote for its support the sum of £40,000 yearly. This offer was rejected, and the imperial troops now in New Zealand are stationed there simply for the purpose of warding off foreign ag- gression, and not to be used as a defensive force aguipst the natives. The colonists certainly le a very imprudent bargain in this matter, but they hoped that by adroit diplomacy they could in time convince the Maoris that they were actuated by no spirit of oppression such as the old home government had shown towards them. They, however, now dis- cover that they are identified in the Maori mind in- separably with the wrongs and cruelties inflicted by the home government in the earty days of the colony; and they think the home government is bound in equity to afford them some aid in repressing the disturbances which imperial misgov- ernment Las bequeathed to them. And this notion 18 certainly strongly supported by the principles of natural justice when it is remembered that the money received from the settlers for the lands now desolated by rebel natives was paid into the trea- sury of the imperial government and applied to ends wholly unconnected with the prosperity of the colony. Whether they are right or wrong in the opinion, however, is of little moment; the fact re- mains unchanged that the colonists of New Zealand think they are shamefully aggrieved by the home government, which, while it spends millions to res- cue a few diplomatic officiais in Abyssinia, pas- sively looks on and witnesses the wholesale murder of struggling colonists by savage cannibals. The position of the New Zealand colonists has been al- ready endorsed by the Australian press; and simul- taneously with the reception of Prince Altred ar- tucles nave been published condemning the empire he represents for its inhuman inactivity. The most curious development of the present re- bellion, however, ts its supposed connection with Fenianism—a connection which, after being ridt culed as too absurd for belief, seems to be supported by very probable evidence.’ The Fenians are not supposed vo have brought about the war in the first instance, but aiter it began it seems that Fenian agents assured the Maoris that the whites were di- vided among themselves, and that the Irish and Scowch resented the domination of the English as deeply as the Maoris. On the northern gola felas some miners known to be Fentans have been warned to leave the district. The following 13 the notice issued by the Gola Commissioner ejecting them: Notick.—Miners and other persons who are at present en- camped at Baimont and other places in the neighborhood of Ohinemuri, and who are not actual settlers in that district, are hereby informed that in consequence of treasonable over: tures made by certain Europeaus to Haubau natives and others, the Queen's enemies, it has become neces- sary the safety and’ peace of the _ colony that such miners and other persons should at once rémove from the Ohinemuri district. I bereby request all such miners and others to leave the Ohinemuri district on or berore the evening of Tuoaday, the Uih day of February, 1869. It the Ciyde arrives at Obinemuri to-day abe will’make two trips from Belmont to Shortland, and convey the persons herein alluded to to the latter place, free of charge. All miners and other persons found encamped or mining within the Ohinemurt district on and after Wednesday, the 10th day of February, 1669, will be ejected therefrom, ‘for MACKAY, Jr., __ Civil Commissioner, Resident Magistrate. It has been discovered that a man named Michael Murphy had been tampering with the natives who perpetrated the White Cl massacre, and he has been arrested on a charge of complicity in that crime, At present, however, the necessary evidence could not be collected against him, and so he tas been committed for three months under the vagrant act as arogue and vagabond, He appeared to have sufficient means to support himself, but could give no proper account of the way in which he gained his liveli- hood, He 1s, therefore, detained a8 a vagrant until — { his counection with Weteri 1s ob- tained. By the way, we have just received additional in- forination about Te Weterl, the chief who committed the While Clit’y massacre. He was generally known to the neutral, but it seems that those who knew him best thought him the last man capable of such barbarous conduct. Some time ago three Europeans who started overland from White Clitts to Waikato were taken prisoners, and would have been Killed but for the interposition of Te Weter!, who pro- tected them. Two of these whites were with hun for a long time, and the third Wetert himself took to the hospital at Alexandria, a3 he was ill with fever. Weteri is al unusually mtelligent fellow, and only recently owned and sailed a trading vessel at Kawhia. ST. THOMAS.
