LATEST NEWS FROM THE FIJI ISLANDS.

ESTABLISHMENT OF A BANKING MONOPOLY AS A GOVERNMENT. The Sydney Morning Herald's Fiji correspondent states that the Albion, s. s., arrived there on the 22nd May. Messrs Brewer and Evans, as agents for the Melbourne company, have concluded arrangements with King Thakarnbau, who has agreed to grant them 20,000 acres, and the pre-emptive right over the entire territory. He ulso concedes to company the banking monopoly they required, and also the right to make laws and impose Customs duties over all the lands that may be acquired by charter. He first consented to give the right to impose the Customs duties over all the islands, but the white settlers protesting, through the British Consul, curtailed of the clause. The settlers also protested against the whole arrangement, as interfering with the rights they had already acquired through the purchase and settlement of differe nt portions of the islands. The agents for the company guarantee to assist King Thakambau in the defence of his territory, and pay the American debt at present held over it. They further agree to give the King an annuity of £2OO, and to continue the same to his son, who succeeds him. The King's other son is to be taken to Melbourne to be educated, at the company's expense. The company's agents have already selected 100,000 acres on the largest island, which is mentioned in Colonel Smyth's report as having a fine harbor, and being the best locality for a white settlement. The Sydney Morning Herald denounces the arrangement as dangerous and unconstitutional. It is stated that 4000 bales of cot! ton will be exported from Fiji this •season.

The war in the Fijis.—The West Coast Times of June 26th, publishes part of a private letter received from the Fijis, from which we extract the following : —" The war undertaken byKing Thakambau to punish the murderers of the native ministers, who were not only killed but eaten, still continues. The main body of the army is under the command of the Chief Judge, Rollu Sananaea, who is reckoned the best general in the island. The division has succeeded in taking nine towns, killing great numbers of the rebels, besides taking other prisoners ; but on the otherhand, Tui Koko, the second commander, has suffered a defeat. This state of things is not at all pleasant when you are living in the middle of the hostile armies, and have to keep right with both parties. Every now and then one party challenges another to fight, which is done by sending a cartel in the shape of a picked thigh bone,''
