Some feeling has been, created here (writes our Melbourne correspondent) by the publication of the detail of a heartless case of wife desertion and bigamy, the principal parties to which are from New Zealand. The case came before the City Police Court on Friday, Mav 1. The accused was Joseph Erancis Kinggate. He was charged with deserting his wife and child, and with bigamy in having married a second wife recently at Footscray. Kinggate was married in Duuedin on January 10, 1882, to Norah Smith, a girl whose parents reside at Waitahuna, and who was then chambermaid in the Union Hotel j in Stafford street, kept by Mr C. C. Armstrong. Mr Armstrong, who was a witness in the case, was present at the marriagG ceremony, which was performed by Mr Ure, the Eegistrar. Kinggate, bis wife, and one cbdd, afterwards came to Melbourne, where they did not live happily together. In the suburb of Footscray Kinggate became acquainted with Jcbnanna Mebrtftn, who was also a servant at the hotel. Leaving his wife with ss, and asserting that he was going to Sydney, ho married Miss Mehrten, with whom he settled at Eichmond, another suburb. His first wife becoming destitute,inquiries were set on foot, and Kinggate was arrested. Much sympathy was felt in Court for the unfortunate woman whom he had deserted, as she was very ill and approaching confinement. The demeanour of the accused was extremely impudent, and he sought to damage, the character of Miss Mehrten, with whom his marriage was proved by the officiating clergyman and others. He was committed for trial on both charges. Mr Armstrong will remain to give evidence in the superior Conrt. It is hinted that a further charge hangs over Kinggate's head in New Zealand; for itis asserted that a first wife resides in Timaru. If this be true, he may we'll be called a"marrying man."

The spontaneous offers of the colonies to assist the Imperial Government ia the Soudan campaign have drawn forth considerable comment in the Americau Press. The San Francisco Bulletin in an article, the tone of which was also observable in those of other papers, wrote:—"The British Empire as such is only now beginning to harden into a potent fact. If nil its parts get into action, when one is menaced, there considerable stir all over the \ffffid. The roll of its drum will not only be heard in the small group of Islands off the coast of Europe, which constitute the head of the system, throughout Central Asia, in the Island Continent of the South Pacific, in the extremity of Africa, in British ]S T orth America, in the West Indies in the Mediterranean, in the Grulf of Georgia, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico.''
