CHINESE PIRATES ATTACKED BY THE BRITISH GUN-BOAT OPOSSUM, NEAR HONG-KONG, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Chinese pirates attacked by the British gun-boat Opossum, near Hong-Kong, 1865. 'The Opossum, commanded by Lieutenant H. C. St. John, has been employed for some months past in chastising the pirates who infest various parts of the coast...and who were inflicting cruel injury upon the peaceful traders - usually killing all the men on board every vessel which, they captured, and making slaves of the women...The affair represented in our Illustration (from a sketch by an officer present) took place on the 1st of March. "This was a hard chase. No less than forty-three pirates were on board the junk, and they had two big guns. They ran for it on the gun-boat's appearance, reached the shore, and got up the hills before us; but some of them were so foolish as to go away in a sampan, which we overtook close to the rocks, when the pirates jumped overboard, closely followed by a boat from the gun-boat. In their hurry, our men had taken no arms, and between one tall bluejacket and a pirate on the rocks there was a rare fight, the bluejacket ultimately knocking him down and, of course, securing him...Three of them we kept considering them young enough to change their mode of life; the other eighteen were all sent to Canton and executed".'

The murder of a missionary by the Maoris in New Zealand: scene of the murder of Rev. Volkner, 1865. 'The war of races which has been going on for two or three years past...does not seem likely to arrive at a speedy termination... The hideous superstition now prevailing, which takes the name of the "Pai Marire" from the Virgin Mary, of whom they [ie the Maori] have heard from a French Catholic missionary...is held to sanctify the commission of any crime or offence...the Maoris had all taken an oath the day before to kill every minister or soldier who came there...They then told [Mr Volkner the German missionary] that they were going to kill him. He stopped near the church and asked them to allow him five minutes for prayer, which they did...Whilst he was praying they sent and took a block and strop from the vessel, which they made fast to the topmost branches of a large willow-tree, about 200 yards from the church. There were now about 800 natives on the ground, who at once marched him under the tree...The poor fellow commenced shaking hands with many of them while they were tying his neckerchief over his eyes; and he even had hold of some of their hands whilst they were hauling him to the fatal branch'.

As soon as they did so, the Maoris seized Mr. Volkner and Mr. Grace, and began to tie them up...but desisted from this when Captain Levy interfered. The two reverend gentlemen, however, with four sailors, the crew of the schooner, were shut up in a...hut, guarded by twenty Maoris...Captain Levy and Mr. Samuel Levy were not personally molested, because, as the Maoris observed, they were Jews...In the morning Captain Levy and Mr. S. Levy were told that the two missionaries would be shot. Captain Levy in vain remonstrated and begged the Maoris to refrain from this bloody act. In order to purchase the lives of his two passengers, he gave up the vessel and its cargo...to be plundered by the Maoris'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

HARVEST-HOME AT THE PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY'S FARM-SCHOOL, REDHILL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864. 'This institution...is designed for the instruction and moral reformation chiefly of boys under fifteen years of age, who have been convicted of crime and sentenced to a few years' detention in a reformatory under the Juvenile Offenders' Act. The...[boys] are employed in field labour, garden and house work, brickmaking...[etc]. After their discharge a portion of them...are assisted to emigrate...The harvest home...attracted a number of visitors to see the games in a field near the farmyard...Here, though the wet grass and soft ground somewhat interfered with the exercises, the boys contended for prizes, in hurdle-racing, long and high jumping, flat-racing, jumping in sacks, trussed racing, balance riding, and climbing. A contest of a more irregular but not less agreeable character took place in the form of a very amusing scramble for a sackfull of apples, in the course of which no small amount of tumbling about was to be seen, and a few pretty hard knocks were received by the actors, who took all in good part and appeared each well satisfied with his share. Prizes for general conduct, progress in school, cleanliness and order, were given'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. Harvest-home at the Philanthropic Society's farm-school, Redhill, 1864.

Paris Demolitions - the Hôtel des Haricots, or prison of the National Guard of Paris, 1864. Engraving from a sketch by M. Felix Thorigny. View of '...the Hôtel des Haricots, as the prison is facetiously called by the members of the Garde themselves, by reason of the solemn item that figures in the tariff of condiments affixed to the wall of each cell - "Haricots blancs à la maitre d'hotel, 50 centimes."...The term of imprisonment extends from twelve hours to eight days...the prison being open at certain hours every day for the reception of "convicted visitors." The approaching extension of the station of the Orleans Railway will necessitate the demolition of the Hôtel des Haricots, and the consequent destruction of a large collection of drawings, paintings, and verses, drawn, painted, and inscribed on the walls of several of the cells, and signed by such names as Decamps, Gavarni, Gustave Doré, Daumier, Janet, Bertall, Théophile Gauthier, Henry Murger, Arsène Houssaye, Alfred de Musset, and a host of other celebrities who, even in their hours of punishment, contributed something towards the entertainment and instruction of future occupants'.
