[London Times, July 7.] Intelligence more horrible than that which, has just reached us has never been received, even from New Zealand. A most atrocious murder has been deliberately committed upon one of the missionaries, and this, moreover, in cold blood, with every sign of deliberation, and with all the revolting circumstances of canniba'ism. It has been committed, more over, not by a rebellious tribe of savage na tives, who ha 9 never been brought under civilizing influences, but by the very flock of the missionary himself, among whom be bad resided for years, and within sight of his own house. The unfortunate gentleman was, at the beginning of last Marcu, returning to bis charge, in company with another clergyman, Mr. Grace. On his arrival, in a small schooner, the captain quickly discovered the disposition ot the natives, and urged him not to trust himself ashore. But the same blind confidence which lured so many British officers iDto the hands of the Sepoys prevented Mr. Volk ner from believing that he could be in any danger from his disciples. Before, however, he bad time to leave the schooner ot his own accord the natives came on board and seized both the crew and the two missionaries. Even then it is said Mr. Volkuer refused to believe in the murderous intentions which bis captors professed, and it was uot until he was compelled to strip himself of his upper garments, under a halter hung from a tree clusa to his own house, that he was undeceived. The natives hung him in savage haste, tore open his body, distributed his entrails to the Maori dogs, and his heart and other fragments to the still mote brutal cannibals around, drank his blood, and finally cut off his head, which they have preserved, and exhibit in churches and other places of meeting as a token of their triumph and an emblem of their superstition. Mr. Grace was warned that he would suffer a similar fate after he had served their purpose, which was to exhibit him with Europeans remaining to other na tive tribes, and thus excite them against us. Happily, however, the captain of the schooner had been released, and he contrived, with great inginuity and courage, at a rare moment when Mr. Grace was unguarded, to carry him off to her Majesty’s steamer Eclipse, which had been sent round from Auckland upon the news of this atrocity. So far, moreover, is this outbreak ot savagery and cannibalism from being local or excep tional, that nearly every missionary and set tler for the space of about two hundred miles along the east coast, including Bishop Williams and his family, have been com pelled to fly for their lives, and often to abandon their possessions, which in many cases, as in that of Mr. Volkner, have been distributed among the sagages. The Graaehopper Plague In Minnesota. The Minnesota papers give gloomy ac counts of the ravages of the grasshoppers in that State. Forsaking the prairies they have recently commenced flying and alight ing in the timber known as the ‘"Big Woods,” and there is every probability that they will pass through and beyond it, and sweep the southwestern part of the State. In the counties of Renville, Brown. Blue Earth, Nicollet, Le Sueur und Scott there will not be an average of more than one-half the crops left to harvest, and hardly be enough vegetables left for seed. Corn has been less Injured thus far than any other crop, and wheat has suffered most. In Henderson there is hardly a plant or weed left, and the naked lots tell a sorrowful tale of the desolation of the plague. Currant bushes and young fruit trees and shrubbery of every kind, have not only been stripped of foliage, but of bark also. In some fields of wheat they have entered they have sirar ly cut a straight swath of several rods width through clean to the ground, never deviating from a direct line, and leaving the remainder untouched. They deposit their eggs in small sacks in the warmest and loosest earth, dur ing August and through Autumn, and the number laid by a single grasshopper certain ly reaches into fifties or hundreds. As soon as the earth warms in the Spring they hatch out— maturing in about two months, when they strip themselves, body and legs, of their old skin, and come out schconer-rlgged and full sails. The wings at first are very tender, but forty-eight hours of exposure prepare* them for their journey. Collided with a Whale —The Yarmouth Herald says that the packet schooner Forest Oak, from Boston, when about thirty mile* from Yarmouth, the other day, ran against a whale with such force as to kaock the fore* foot nearly off. The schooner v?as at the time running at a speed of seven knots, and the whale was not seen till a moment before the collision. The schooner passed over the whale, which must have been killed by the shock, as a mass of oil immedia'ely appeared on the surface. Whilst the repairs rendered neoessary by the collision were being made, after the arrival oi the vessel in port, a strip of the akin of the whale was found attached to the fore-foot. For the information of Mrs. Partington, and others unfamiliar with nautical namei, we should state that the “fore-foot" here spoken of belonged to the ship not to the whale. On Thursday afternoon, on board the steamer Annie Johnson, between La Crosse and 9t. Paul, Mr. S. Roberts, of Syracuse, was shot and instantly killed by a lunatic named Stocking. The maniac also wounded a soldier by another shot before he was seized and disarmed. He was taken to St. Paul for examination. —Father O’fleiley, Catholic priest at New port, has denounced the Fenian Brotherhood in the severest terms, and assured his flock that any of them who joined it should not only be excommunicated, but denied the rite of Christian burial by the Catholic Church. —The notorious Billy Mulligan was shot dead in San Francisco by a policeman, after he bad killed two men in a fit of delirium tremens. —Applications for pensions are on the in crease. It is said that thirteen millions will he required to pay pensions this year.
