The conciliatory policy of Sir (iLOR..E GRIT has failed, and we are now engaged iii a war against the natives. After the murder of several English officers it certainly would have been ditficult to avoid punishing the native perpetrators of the crime. But when the natives who were concerned in this outrage retired to a strongly fortified pals or redoubt on the spur of a range of hill, in the neighbourhood of our settlers, from which they began to sally forth in detached parties in order to cut off any settlers or soldiers whom they might meet, it became abso lutely necessary to attack them in their strong hold, and, if possible, to defeat them. Major- General CAMERON, who now commands in New Zealand, is an officer of well-known ability. The skill of his arrangements, and the promptitude with which they have been carried into effect on the present occasion, am, ly vindicate the high opinion entertained of his character. The scene of operations was in the Northern Island,within a few hours' march of New Plymouth. It appears that there is near this point a series of redoubts occupied by our soldiers. The pah or re doubt which was occupied by the natives was upon the left bunk of the Katikara River, which flows down in a right line frum the mountains—ita banks being precipitous and covered with dense vegetation. This pah was about a mile from the mouth of the liver, the apace of ground be tween it and the left bank being literally honeycombed with rifle pita, in which armed natives were ensconced. The object was to drive the natives from their stronghold. Under General PRATT the system had been to adopt the regular and scientific process of sapping, but after much time had been consumed in making regular approaches it was invariably found that when the post was stormed the natives had fled. General CAMIRON adopted different tactic He used every means to conceal his real intentions, and to induce the natives to believe that, instead of making au attack, he was about to withdraw his troops alt gether froui the series of redoubts we have mentioned. But cu the 3rd of JUDO, about nine o'clock, the British foram began their march from New Plymouth fur the pah. Just before the force left the rear of our redoubts, at four o'clock in the morning of the 4th, it consisted of about 650 men, drawn from the 57th, 70th, and 65th Regiments, their Arm strong gnus, and a small detachment of Engi neers. The pl in was that whilst ono party, under Colonel Loaa'e, ITMI to cross the river near the beach and as. end the road leading up the steep cliff towards the pah, the other party, under C•donel WARILY; VIM to march up the right bank of the stream, and, crossing higher up, storm the native redoubt. It was now a quarter to seven o'clock, &ad by this time her Maer.sry's ship Eclipse had arrived at the mouth of the Railcar", according to arrangenients. Whilst the party whi:h had crossed near the beach was staling the steep path, the Eclipse threw shells into the pal), compelling the natives to evacuate it, and at the same time Colonel WARR' crossed the stream higher up and carried everything before him. The enemy fled in confusion, leaving 22 dead in one part of the field. The loss on our side was one private killed, two privates mortally, and three severely, wounded. Having accomplished this the troops returned to New Ply mouth, as well as the Eclipse, and it is to be ob served that the battle baring taken place about eight, the ship arrived at one o'clock the same day. There seems to be no doubt that General CAME RON has displayed admirable skill and promptitude in these operation.. But the question is how is the war to end ? The scene of operations is within a few miles of New Plymouth, and there is no reason why the pah and the rifle pits which have just been carried should not be again occupied, and thus the natives may carry on for any length of time a desultory and haraesing war against the settlers and the British troops. The probability, therefore, is that the colonists will soon get tired of being beleaguered as they now seem to be by the natives, and will call for larger me sures. In short, it is not unlikely that they will insist upon a regular campaign against the natives. The danger is that the Goviutsuut GENERAL may be induced, under pre• sent cirjuinstances, to yield to this demand, and thus involve this c , ,untry not only in a considera ble expense, but in au impossible, or at all events an unnecessary, enterprise. It is certainly true that the colonist' of New Zealand cannot be held entirely responsible for the unhappy state of things which now exists in that colony. The COLONIAL Murisres and the people of this country Minded upon withdrawing native affairs from the management of the Colonies and retaining it in their own hands. Practically, indeed, tl.is attempt failed. But the dispute with the natives arose during the period when this theory prevailed, and the colonists not unfairly insist that as the Imperial Government raised the storm they must allay it. Even if the Imperial Government are willing to band over the natives to the local Government, still it is contended they must defray the expenses of the present war. It is clearly impossible for either party to insist upon its theoretical rights. Some arrangement must be adopted by which the colonists are to contribute a certain sum towards the military expenses. It must be admitted that there does appear to be a disposition to do so on the part of the colony, for it is said that almost all the local journals advocate the necessity of raising a volunteer force to co-operate with the military. It is the duty of the CoioNiat. Mumma to lose no time in finally settling the terms upon which the Imperial Government is to aid in the suppression of the present disturbances. But this is not enough. Difficulties such as now exist will be continually recurring. Until the general principle is proclaimed that the Colonies must provide for their own internal defence, and until that principle is acted upon, the people of this country a ill never cease to be called upon to supply armies to the Colonies. In cases such as Australia, New Zealand, and the Cape, the only use which can be made of soldiers is to maintain internal tranquillity or to repel attacks of the na tives. This is the proper business of the colonists themselves, and ought to be undertaken by them, and at their own expense. But it is a duty which experience shows will never be undertaken as long as a single soldier of the Imperial army is found in a colony. Mr. Lows, whose experience in such matters is very great, declared that every red-coat sent out to a colony put a stop to many hundred volunteers, and that the only mode of compelling the colonies to provide for their own defence was to withdraw every single soldier. In this opinion we cordially concur ; and until it be adopted it is tolerably clear that the wars with the natives in New Zealand will continue, and that the people of this country will be compelled to pay the larger proportion of the expenses incurred. DRAMA . STRAND. A new farce, entitled Turn Rim Out, produced last night at this theatre, under the double disadvantage of a dull dramatic smarm and a late hour of the night, proved to be one of the moat successful pieces of the kind which have been seen for some time. The incidents are by no meats new. The piece is lased, in fact, upon the old (ordeal idea of the French stage—the adventures of on mon sieur qui suit les dames; but the situations are so full of broad fun, and follow each other in such rapid succession, that the audience were kept i• perpetual laughter to the end. A men oaths. of the plot would give no idea of the abundant drolleries which arise out of the different situatioos, and the admirable acting of every one of the dramatis persona. Mr. Belford, as Mr. Eglantine Resoled, the pertinacious follower of Mrs. Mackintosh Mobs, gave a capital variation of his Duodreary performances by introducing • little more sang froid and leas' of " widdles" and anecdotes than belong to his renowned prototype. Mr. Nicodemos Nobbe (Mr. H. J. Turner). an itinerant vender of juvenile toys, whose mistake in maltreating and turning oat the muter of the house leeik to all the mischief, was esoelleot through out; and Mr. Vollaire, as the furious and jealous Moke, pined a further &tee in his growing popularity with Strand audiences. The parts of Mrs. Moke, and Susan, • maid of all. work, were well sustained by Miss Louisa Thome and Mis s Jenny White. The *pekoes at the fall of the curtain was vociferous. The faros, which may be assumed to be of French origio, is, in its English shape, the produc tion of Mr. T. J. Williams. Tae QUEEN IN GEEMAIY.—On the arrival at Cologne, on Friday evening, of the train conveying her Majesty, the princes and priaceeses. Earl Granville, and the suite in attendance on the royal party, so halt was made, and the journey to Roam= was cootinned.

Tbal English resident, on the Lower Rhino intended to assemble, and to offer a demonstration of loyalty to the Queen, but this idea was reluctantly abandoned. as it was Necertaibed that admire had been expressed that nothing of ;be kid should take place. The Crown Priooe of Prussia returned to Pots dam on Saturday from Gastrin, to be present at the cele bration of the birthday of Lis yo - angst son, Prince Henry. Next week his royal highness will proceed to Rosman with the Crown Princess. It is affirmed that the Crown Prince was summoned to Oaatein, as the King, before he proceeded to Bailee Wee, wished to discuss the present condition of the affair, of the kingdom with his eon, and it is expected that the result of this deliberation will appear in a few days io the shape of a matifesto.

For more than a you the quarry has hero worked with a view to obtaining a block of sufficient dimension; but only quilt. recently was it sees that the object could be obtained. It has sow, however, been so most satisfactorily. The stone, which is of • bluish shade, is a very beautiful specimen of Cairegall granite, and quite complete and sound. The atone Is to be polished on each side, and when finished will have ■ eery maast•e cod elegant appearance. The difficulty of transporting this immense block was very great. Having been planed on a substantial low waggon, sixteen powerful borers were required to drag it from Celt ngall to Peterhead, and besides between thirty and forty men were employed to assist.

Five offions who considered themselves insulted by an article which appeared in the Caprere, demanded satisfac tion.

It is reported from New Orleans that • French steamer bad arrived on the Bth at Vera Cruz with an English schooner in tow. The schooner was captured at Rio Grande with a cargo of arms. She had cleared from Liverpool for Matamoras. NEW YORK, AUGUST 7. Ever's°. The siege of Charleston was progressing on the 4th inst. The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Herald says, that by the middle of August General Lee's army will be reinforced to number 160,000 men, with 300 pieces of artillery, and if by that time Meade baa not advanced Lee will assume the offensive, and move from Fredericksburg direct on A lexandria, by way of Banks' Ford, Dumfries,and Occoquan, or else by way of Manassas Junction, Centreville, and Fairfax, to Harlington Heights. The Richmond papers state that General Meade has been reinforced by 15,000 men from Grant's army. . . . . President Davis has appealed to absent officers and soldiers to return immediately to camp. Johnston's army is at Enterprise, ►nd Brandon, Mississippi. General Johnston has visited and in spected the Mobile defences. There is said to be much suffering among the people of Middle Tennessee. . . The Maine Democratic State Convention has passed strong resolutions denouncing the course of the Lincoln Adminstration. NEW YORK, Aucuer 8, Mown. Gilmore's heavy batteries are expected to open fire from Morris Island on Fort Sumter in a few days. The steamer Ironsides is within 500 yards of Fort Sumter. General Meiule's pickets extend two miles and a hslf beyond the south bank of the Rappahannock. The railroad bridge across the river at Rappahan nock station has bean rebuilt. In consequence of guerillas the sutlers' waggons from Washington to General Meade's army are ac companied by armed escorts. News has been received from New Orleans to the 31st ult. The Union Association had passed a resolution opposing the organisation of a State Government under the constitution in force prior to secession, and opposing any new constitution recognising slavery. The Neis York Herald says that the Association is formed principally of office seekers. Yazoo city has been stripped in corsequence of the hostile attitude of the people. Quantities of merchandise and furniture, and numbers of negroes have been carried away. No cotton has arrived at New Orleans since the fall of Port Hudson. It is semiofficially announced that the article published lately in the Washington Republican re presenting. war with England as imminent, was not authorised by the government nor made up with any knowledge of its views. President Davis has issued an address to the Confederate army, in which he says :—" After two years of warfare the enemy continues a struggle in which our final triumph must be inevitable. Unduly elated with recent success he imagines that temporary reverses can quell your spirit or shake your determination, and now gathers heavy masses together for a general iuvasion, vaiuly hoping that by desperate efforts success may be reached. You know what the enemy means by success. His m dignant rage aims at nothing less than the extermination of yourselves, your wires and children, to destroy what he cannot plunder, to partition our homes as the spoils of victory, to ineite servile insurrection, and to de bauch an inferior race, hitherto contented, by pro mising the indulgence of the vilest intuitions as the price of treachery. Conscious of their inability to prevail by legitimate means, and not bearing to make peace lest they should be hurled from power, the men now ruling in Washington refuse even to confer on the subject of ending outrages disgracing the age, or listen to any suggestion for conduct ing the war according to civilised usages. No alternative is left you but victory or subjugation, and the utter ruin of yourselves, your families, and your country. Victory is within your grasp you need but stretch forth your hands to grasp it. All that is necessary is that all should promptly repair to military duty, awl I now grant a general pardon and amnesty to all officers and men withiu the Confederacy who may be absent without leave, and who shall without delay return to their duty ; but no excuse will be received for any delay beyond twenty days after this proclama tion." President Davis finally conjures all the women of the Confederacy to use their influence in aiding this call, and to take cure that none who owe duty iu the field shall be sheltered at home. - The Confederate Secretary of tho Treasury has written a letter stating that, as the fall of Port Hudson and Vicksburg exposes to the enemy the government cotton purchase in Mississippi and Lousiana, many planters will probably leave their plantations. The military authorities will, there fore, he says, destroy all cotton they cannot pre serve from the enemy. The cotton will be destroyed only when there is imminent danger of the enemy capturing it.

The following letter has been received by the Doke of Wellington from the celebrated lion-hinter M.

The King of Dahomey, despite his cognomen, which signifies the • Eternal' or the ' Infinite,' fully justifies that rule to which he is no exception. Physically he is similar to the other blacks of his country, tall, well built, a he'd like a ball dog. The most usual expromion of his countenance is that of cunning and cruelty. His moral qualities are in perfect keeping with his phy►ical conformation ; he is more gracious than the kings who have preceded him, fanatical for old traditions and customs.

On the day of my presentation I wee conducted across the marketplace, where twelve corpses were exposed to view on sepante sites. Six were bung up by the feet, the six others were upright lake men about to walk. Those whom 1 saw close were boil ibly mutilated, and not beheeded. An enormous pool of blood covered the ground beneath the acafold, giving unmistakable evidence of previous aacrifices and ..1 the tortures which accompanied them. Our recea nun by the King wee brilliant, very cordial fur myself ea well.* for the French consul ; but we were woo able to ainvinue "meshes that this was but a comedy always per formed oy this poor Paladin to get the presents brought by the whites.

A most in. fermil minim, which nearly deafened us, delighted the King, who seemed to be in • state of sestacy ; and this, Si. le Duo, lasted for six hours. On the following day his Majesty invited us to witness a procession of the King's riches. Ou reaching the square of the Palace (reed huts) an agreeable surprise had Leen prep•real fur us. The entrance gate was flooded by • tool of blood two yards in width, and on each ode a column of recruit; decapitated heads formed two immense chaplets. It is true that on this day the Kiug wore the emblem of Christ on his breast. It moat be presumed that it was the cross of execution that be meant to im ply by this ornament.

The young man, George Wright, 21 years of age, charged with the wilful mustier of Emanuel Bates, at Old ham, oo the 2ixl ofJ tate. committed suicide in Kirkdale Gaol yesterday morning. About six o'clor.k one of the gaolers found the deceased suspended to a gas bracket in his °all by • hammock strop. Lau was extinct, thrugh the body was still warm. The crime for which Wright was awaiting hie trial was this : —On the 'right before the murder a lay named Bates, residing in a locality called the Vitieyard, got upon the wall of Wright, a mason spinner, sod Wright boxed the lad's ears. Emanuel Bates, the father of the buy, saw Wright striking his son, and said, •• What are you doing' If my boy bay done wrong I will correct Lim myself, not you." To this Wright replied, " You old -- I will serve you the same." Upon this Bates got bold of Wright by the collar, shook him, and struck him on the side of the bead with his open hand. and Wright then said, " Yon old -- , you have not done with this yet." The parties then menstrated, and the quarret was apparently at an nod. Next morning, however. Bates was going to Masers. Collinge and Lancashire's mill. where be was employed, and pasatog the prisoner's entiy, when the prisoner came out and struck him a violent hoer over the head, which so eeriously injured him that he died the mete day. The prisoner abricoudrd to Metal bridge, when he was apprehended about a fortnight after the occurrence. The learned judge in his charge to the grand jury, the other day, alluded to Wright's offence in thaw :—" There is acme (Geo. Wright) in which the prisoner, haring received morn. provocation one day, seems out of revenge to have laid in wait for the dammed on the next day. sod struck ban a violent blow from behind with a stock, which killed hint. The previous provocation would soon to show ill will against the man whom he k riled, and so far that ie against him, he haying s day to mot. The only question is, whether you believe, from the weapon used, the prisoner intended to inflictgrievous bodily balm upro the deceased. If so, then the offence would amount to the crime of murder. But if the evidence falls short of proving that, then the crime would only be manslaughter." The pri soner seemed to anticipate that thr re visa no chance of his life being spared, thong), he aid nut do or nay anything which would have induced the officials to keep s very strict watch upon his MOVIIIIMSDIII. Couirequeutly the suicide took everyone ley surprise.
