MET= AT LONDON =IDOL TOO D.. 1 WNW put e: Altelmon, 11.1 aia. VON 0. T•44•Ar• Dom pm I ; L LONDON, THURSDAY, MAR. 22, Wren the exception of Sicily, where the mutual wrongs and aversion of prince and people preclude the hopes of any accommoiation without an appeal to arms, we entertain much incredulity respecting those immediate hostilities which are threatened. In Piedmont all the preliminaries of open war have been carefully gone through, and to all ontward pearance nothing can prevent the shook of hostile armies. There surely, however, must be some mistake, either as to the sincerity of CHARLES AusEar's war enthusiasm, or as to the slenderness of his hopes of victory. Though capable of bold resolve, CHARLES ALBERT has played bin game of prince and general with fair sagacity, Though willing and ready to take advantage of events. he has shown great persp , eac'ty in not running directly counter ti them. And we thatss sufficient faith in his prudence to feel titherhe is not seriousty bent oa opening the campaign, or that he has some hopes and elements of success, concealed as yet from our view by the caterers of news from North 'hey. If we doubt of war actually breaking out in these regions, hew mach more must we doubt its taking place in Elfzernany or even on the Eyder. The King of Paresis, it cannot fail to be remarked, has been placed very much in the same pos:tion with CHARLES ALBERT. Both aspire, with scarcely concealed ambi tion, to be the head of a new empire, under which the different provinces of their respective countries are to combine. Both seized the revolution as the ass umable :opportunity for placing eemselves at the head of the national movement. CHARLES ALBERT marched into L•imbardy, the King of PRUSSIA into Schleswig,with few scruples, either of them, and math precipitation, each thrusting his sword and sceptre through the cobweb arrangements of the treaty of Vienna, and thereby braving the old absolutist powers, pcinciph e, and e ingresses. Both did so amidst the acclamations of their people. A twelvemonth ago the King of PRUSSIA was hailed as the future sovereign of Germany, CHAIM Ammer es the King of Italy. Both have suffered severe reverse,. Both have with drawn from the attitude and aims of conquest. Both have with difficulty kept down their turbulent de and both have become suspected to the head long liberals. In Germny and in Italy there exists a repabl:cen party awaiting to take advantage of the faults , eff royalty, and proclaiming that moderation and monarchy can disappoint sat make darn et the IS aspirants after LA unity and erewnoss, and that democracy *One can attempt ant aceoniphsb the teak. Italian demos-racy has, however, had full seer for exertion, and bas made no sane use of its energies or opportunities. German democracy has, se yet, not been happier or wiser. And we must own that our beet hopes for m a nyabliment boll of unity and freedom in Geand in Italy, are based on a aatioeal monarch becoming the champion of these principles in both countries. ALB Tee war of CHARLES ERT'S territories and resources, ew ty er, rendered such a task too weighty for him. Greet eensisteuey, and parity , sa d stme g th of character, might have made up the &Limey, and commanded the salience of all Italians. But un fortunately thee are flaws in his toyed reputation. And the people of Italy have but too good reasons to be distracted in their propensities to hero-worship. The King of Pavane commands tar greater re sources, though he may have mire formidable obs'ac'es to contend with. He has a large and disciplined army ; he has all Germany, the population of which is ready to fellow him if be hoist the flag of German unity, freedom, and indepen dence. Austria will no coubt oppose, and Rillblft is ready to support its opposition. Bath menace even the extremity of war, should the King of Pitessie o opt the imperial crown. But would they execute each a menace ? We doubt it. For Austria would he broken as a potsherd in such a etrog4le—extin cuished as much by Russian aid, as annihilated by the determined hostilit of the entire German race. FREDERICK the GREAT would certainly not have hesitated in FREDERICK WILLIAM'S place. No; nor Would CHARLES ALBERT hesitate in the King of Paussis's place. The latter hu now before him the ealisation of the dream, not merely of his own youth and manhood, but of those of his dycasty since it C3Ol - its career. If he reject it, and should in con influence all the labours of Frankfort and of the popular party fail, that party will direct its energies into an altogether new channeL And if it be an auti-princely . and anti-monarchic one, the princely class and reigning families of Germany are algae to blame. They it is who have stood in the way of the reelimition of every idea of German unity, greatness, or freedom. And Germano, who are bent on all these, and are strong and determined enough to conquer them, will achieve that ceequat, in despite of these princes, nay, over these very princes, if they be found so selfish, and pueilluimous, and anti national, as to thwart the best ideas and strongest aspirations of the German race. A few days, a few hours perhaps, will put us in possession of some more certain intelligence. The Frankfort Assembly will, nn doubt, elect the King of Penult - , as indeed the only mode of accomplishirg their great naional views. And our private intelli senor leads us to hope, that the King will accept, alihousth upon conditions. Should he not do so, there is an end of Frankfut. The assembly may pot' er on, discuss a directory, or acme new compromise in the shape of a form of govern ment, but in neith.r can it succeed. And in pity to the central parliament the German prind.s will infallibly strange it, and put it out of pain, ociroyiny some mock German c institution in its place, to be foul the people with the show of unity and freedom, whilst in realty it restores the old machinery and men of the Diet, the MATTERNICHS and MUNCH /3EL LINGHAUSENS, to pretocolise German patience, and place their old perukes by way of extinguisher on the flame of German libotalism. Neal we *ay to what catastrophe such counter-revolution loads? Some of our mornieg contemporaries seem to be frightened out of their propriety by the intelligence just received from Canads. It has been taken fur granted that the provincial ministry are bent, by a solemn legislative art, on putting treason at a pre mium and loyalty at a discount; and on this assump tion, hastily made, the most violent denunciations have been hurled against them. Questions have already been put in parliament, and more are likely to fellow on the subject; and we trust that Mr. HAWES will, this evening, be ready to give such an account cf the reel circumstances of the cue as will convince everybody that very monstrous conclusicns have been pi-civil ately formed in certain quarters on very slender foundation,. F. r hitherto the a hole matter teems to have teen greatly misunderstood or grouly misrepresented. Tue irre spons.ble statements of a reckless and disappointed faction have been taken as truths, and thy have formed the sole basis of the noisy ou'cry which has been raised. It shill be our endeavour to separate truth from falsehood, and to put such a statement of the on.. before our readers as will enable them to form for themselves a cilm and diapaasi, nate judg ment upon it. It will be recollected that the rebailion which broke out in Canada in the winter of 1837 extended to bath provinces. In Lower Canada the insurrec tionary movement looked very formidable for a t me. but the bravery of the troops and the loyalty of th e British section of the population succeeded, in the course of a few weeks, in effectually crushing it. In Upper Canada the case was different. The insurrec tion there was confined to a particular section of a particular county, and was suppressed, in the course of a few days, by the loyal inhabitants of the province, without the intervention of her Majesty'. troops, who were still in the lower province, engaged in repro sing the movement of the French Canadians. But although the rebellion was thus promptly stilled, tranquillity was not immediately restored. The hopes of the disaffected were, for some time longer, stimu lated, and the peace e f the province disturbed, by the piratical incursions of American sympathisers. These, in a short time, were diecontinued es hopeless, and loyalty triumphed over treason. But, in the mesietime ' Lower and Karsaws were executed as traitors in Toronto, and VON Sauvrz and others hanged as bandits in Kingston and Niagara. Several of the Queen's subjects, taken in arms, were also tried. con victed, and transported, some to Bermuda and others to Van Diemen's Land. In adaition to this, there was considerable loss of property in the districts to which the insurrectionary movement or its incidents had extended—such as the Niagara frontier, Toronto, Pronneff, fit. Beeteebe, and St. Denis.' It is eery evident that, in etpolitical excite ment, like that alluded to, the innooent suffer with the guilty. This is Issiticularly the ease in connexion with property ; and as in Canada th e mass of the people werethe destruction of property occa siemed by the rebellion fell mainly upon the well- Masted subjects of the crown. Their claim to compen- Mien for rebellion losses was obvious, and accordingly, seme years ago, a measure was pared, giving such wimps= Ides, so far as such losses incurred in Upper amok were concerned. The Lower Canadians simi leetis;tutted have an noel claim upon the justice of the islature, and it is for seeking to give effect to tbat maim, that the province has been thrown by the Sipplaition into a state of excitement; and an outcry V been raised against the provincial cabinet and pm.- Bement in this country. How far this excitement is welt gionuded, or this outcry just, may be gathered from the following simple statement of facts. To render the facts more intelligible, it may be as well first to advert to the pos,tion of parties. Those ' now forniing the opposition were the men whose ins:- lent domination in Canada, until 1837, drove ene pro vince into rebellion_, and put the loyalty of the oth e r to theseverest tests. This party, until thee, had been the meetant pet of the colonial department, being treated by it as the sole connexionuit, whilst the liberals were systematically treated and kept at arm's length as a separatist faction •, the truth being, that ttere was quite as much loyalty in the tanks of the one as in those of the other, although such noisy profession was not made of it. Things thus continued until the rebellion in Lower Canada—which was in effect a war of races and a section, though small, of the Upper Canada rebels were driven in-o that course of which the whole body of the liberals had long been =deservedly suspected. The best commentary which can be afforded of the conduct of both parties is that Lord DURHAM'S first recommendation, on proceeding to Canada, was to emcee that responsible govern ment to the colony, the denial of which was the proximate cause of the rebellion in Upper Canada. This principle was established under Lord STREW maes government, when the tories or Family Oseepaet were prostrated, and a great party farmed, the materials of which were drawn trout both sides. This was known as the Govetnne- Clece:ars party, which afterwards absorbed the ultra-liberals within its mike. So that there are now, as formerly, but two parties in Canada, the liberals consisting, to a greatextent, of those who were adherents of the family compactparty,untilafterthere bsilion. Tnere were excluded from power until some time after Lord METCALFE'S snivel in the province, when they assumed the government and retained it, but without the confidence of the country, until 1848 when the general election went so completely against • fib. • Novi,,he Were complied to mtge. et I,.epese. .1813, whits the tones were in power. and after , tbis Rosser. lied been passed giving compensation for •r banes lasses in Upper Canada, an address was ! i nstal reeessmeadisg the payment of similar losses in the lower premise. In 1846, the taxies being still in pews-, a commission was aminted to ascertain the extent of these losses. Under this commission claims were registered to the extent of 240,0001. Of these, chaise to the extent of 60,0001. were classed as spe culative or anal." For the payment of the remain ing claims, amounting to 180,0001, the commission recommended the Immediate appropriation of 100,000 L All this was done by the tory government in order to muse, in their perhamentary extremity, Lower Cana dian support. Failing in this, the matter proceeded no furtlr r, and the report of the commission was emoted upon anti: theists government quitted office. M. LAFONTAINE, the Attorney-General for Lower Canada, has now introduced • bill to redeem the pledge then made by the governme. t to the Lower Canadians; in other words, to indemnify those who bad sufferd from the rebellion in Lower Canada, as those in Upper Canada had alteady been indemnified. Yet it is for this—that is to say, for seeking to carry est their own proposal—that the tory party has Baud the pruritus into its present state of exereme nt. The whole of the sufferers in Lower Canada have been indheelminately termed " French rebels,' and, as auk the prejudices of the Upper Canadians have been sedulously evoked against them. To pay the rebel., it has been alleged that the province was to be taxed to the extent of 180,0001., whereas all that LAFONTAINE'S bill contemplates is to raise 90,0001. for this paver instead of the 100,0001. proposed by the tory commission of 1846. In answer to the charge that they intend to compensate rebels, the ministry point to tie bill, which is not only framed upon the model of that giving oompeosatian to tie Upper Canada suffer ers, which nobody ever denounced as giving compen sation to rebels, but is actually drawn up in the very words of that bill. Thus the tory party have, in order to create an excitement, which might reinstate them in flower, raised an outcry against a measure not only framed in exact accordance with an unexceptionable measure already passed, but a measure which they themselves originated. It would be difficult, in the diversified annals of Farty recklessness, to find a more discreditable page than this. Notwithstanding the excitement thus wantonly raised out of doors, the lower house has signified its senae of the justice of the measure by passing into committee upon it by a large majority. The liberal ministry in Canada are quite competent to fight their own battle on the spot. But it is not difficult to excite a prejudice against them here; and our object in presenting these facts to our readers is to warn them against being can ied away by noisy clanr.ur and ill-grounded denunciation. The measure, so hastily condemned, is not a measure to remunerate rebels, but to compensate innocent sufferer. in Low or, as innocent sufferers in Upper Canada have already been compensated fir loans incurred during the rebellion. The agitation in the province is purely a party one, got up for patty pur poses of the most questionable kind. The cabinet never contemplated compensation t i those who bad been found guilty of treason, or who had confessed their guilt. An amendment was moved in committee depriving of such compensation all those who were convicted or sent is Bermuda by Lord Dunnam, and of these Dr. /inmost, on whose case much stress is laid, was one. This amendment was seconded by Dr. NErsote. It was not needed to deprive rebels of tbe compensation it tended for innocent sufferers, the ob ject of its formal submission to the committee being to remove effectually from the public mind any apple- hees;on as to the real scope et the bill to which reck less misrepresentation might have given rise. These being the maize fac's cf the case, we con- Mealy leave our readers to judge of them. We regret exceedingly the tone taken in reference to the subject by the limes of yesterday : After properly counselling its readers not to prejudge the matter until the facts were before them, it launches cut into a series of grave charges against the whole body of the liberal party, calculated to produce in Canada the worst possible effects. Bo it remembned that in dulging in such sweeping charges is but reverting to the fatal polic of a former time, when the provincial libera ls were treated as organised traitor", when treason was as far from their thoughts as it was from those of their opponents. And when the Times now speaks of the majosity of the Canaelisa penile as traitors and rebel., does it forget that a great proportion of the liberal party corstituting that majority is composed of the tones of former days ? Thus to charge the whole liberal party as rebels is the grossest injustice, whilst to denounce as a traitor a mm like Mr. BLAKE is to elevate treason to the dignity of a virtue. COLONIAL. EARTHQUAKES IN NEW ZEALAND. The middle and northern islands of the New Zealand group—both sides of Cook's Strait— have, as we stated yesterday, be-n visited with a series of violent shocks of earthquake, ex tending over • wide range of country and through a considerable number of days. Though devastating to house and other property, they have providentially been restrained from much destruction of life. Only one family—Barrack.Sergeant Level and his son and daughter, both children—arc reported as sufferers. The intelligence was brought to Sioespore by the Clara, which arrived there with letters from New Zealand, and papers to the 16th of November, before the mail was despatched. We subjoin such extracts from papers and informa tion gleaned flow other sources as our Singapore correspondent has forwarded to us, deeming it best en each occasions is present tte news to our readers in the form it has reached us. It may, however, facilitate the formation of an accurate estimate of the range of the casualty and its efft ea, to give by way of preface a general summary of the principal points. At Wellington the first shock, and it appears to have been a very severe one, was experienced about 11 a.m. on the morning of Monday, the 16th of Oct. Three or four slight quiverings were subsequently Mt in the course of the day. Two alight shocks were bit at 4 and 71 a.m. on Tuesday. At Si p.m. • slight shook was perceived; this was immediately followed by a second, also slight; and then came a third if anything more severe than the filet, of Mon day. Wednesday passed over with two or three slight shocks. A few minutes before 6 cm. on Thursday the 19th, a third severe shock occurred, which lasted almost a minute. On Friday shocks. bat not revere onei, were ft It at intervals. The slight shocks still continued en Saturday. On Sunday shocks continued to take place at intervals of three or four hours. On Monday a few slight vibrations were felt. On Tuesday, the 24th, a slight tremble was perceived at 10 minutes to 2 p.m., and in the spice of seven minutes and a half there were three vibrations. Shocks continued to be felt throughout the evening. Oa the west of Welling ton, all the shocks felt previous to the 23rd were experierced at Wanganui, but with leas violence. They had occurred at all the intervening places, be coming more violent as they approached Wellington. The schooner Sarah Ann felt the first shock of the eatthqoake, when off Taranaki, on the morning of the 16th ; she also experienced the 'becks of the 23rd, off Kapiti. At Nelson all the shocks appear to have been felt, but with lea violence than at Wellington; the severest at Nelson was that of the 22nd. The earthquake did much damage in Queen Charlotte's Sound and at Cloudy Bay, but we have no particulars, nor any note of the times at which the shocks cccurred. On the east of Wellington. the shocks were felt severely in the valley of the Wairarapa, but there is no note of the times of their occurrence. The Clarcon her passage (coin Auckland to Wellington expefenced a chock whoa 60 milt a from the shore; and a second when ' working in at the heads of Pott Nicholson, on the 18th. The first shock (on the morning of Monday, the 10th) was felt with great violence at Akaroa, and lasted 3 or 4 minutes; brat, what is remarkable, it is said not to have been felt at Purt Cooper, a few Wise to the westward. The brig Bee, which arrived at Wellington from Twofold Bay (N. S. Wales), on the 23rd, does not appear to have felt any of the shock,. Si far as our information goes the earthquakes lasted nine-daya r and were felt at various places, from the 73rd to the 73.. t. degree d eed ,o„,ri liscle, and from ens 39th to t 44th degree of south latitude. The heaviest an most continuous shocks were experienced at Wellington, Queen Charlotte's beady Eay, the centre r which they ,rite. , Thoeertbqt the krs Was y aid by stoney weether, with .heavy gates (yeti .._ south and east, which lasted the greater part of the nine day,. The volcano of Tongariro was not hiatitlvity, nor were any others known to be so. Oa the &mem of Tuesday, the 17th, a bright dame was seen totem:lt op in the north-rut at Wellington, and on board the Sarah Arm, then off Kapiti. At Nelson the atmosphere is said to have been surcharged with electricity. These are the important general facts of this tee =sedate convulsion of nature which can be regarded as ascertained. In the majority of eases the periods, of the shocks are vaguely stated; and no great reli ancecan be placed on what is said of their compara tive violence. Bat Lieut.-Governor Eyre and several gentlemen both at Wellington and Nelson are able and intelligentobservers ; to we have reason to expect accounts of the pheromone of scientifia value. It is gratifying to learn that there has been so little loss of life, and that the settlers are noway. disheartened. The conflict of Mr. Eyre appears to have been must praiseworthy. We subjoin the details as we have received them. (From the PireUing fon Independent, of Oct. 18.) It is our painful duty to record a serious and afflicting visits' ion Sine* our Last, the whole district of Port Nichol son (end in all probability the entire colony, if not the other Wanda of the Pacific), so far as we have reesived intelligence from, has been moved hither and thither by • terrible, though grandly magnificent. operation of nature. On Friday last the day was remarkably tine, though rather close and sultry, bat towards night the weather changed, and early on Saturday morning the wind came up from the southward and eastward, blowing half a gale of wind, accompanied by heavy rain. No change was perceptible during Sa turday and Buaday, but few anticipated the approach of so fearful a storm (if we may be so allowed to term lit) of earthquake. About half-put ens o'clock, •.oe , of Monday, a distant hollow rosy wee heard, the sound I travelling . at a most rapid rate, and almost instants neously, in the course of a few seconds of time, the whole town was labouring from the most severe shock of an earth quake ever experienced by the white residents, or remem ' bared by the Manries. The cone can never be described. The crashing of houses, the fall of bricks, the hurrying to and fro of women and children, and the incessant wave-like motion of the earth, producing • chill at the heart and dread ful feeling of sickness, were more than sufficient to appal the stoutest-minded in the place. The shocks continued, at in tervals, until half post seven o'clock, a.m. When daylight broke the place presented a melancholy appearance. Most of the large brick stores and dwellings, together with many of the solid clay buildings, had received a severe shaking, and chimneys were levelled to the roof in about twc-fifths of the houses in town. The Wesleyan chapel, the gaol, and other public buildings were seriously damaged, and the smash of gleseware and other prop. rty was very great. Mane men, women, and children had narrow and provi dential escapes, but up to this time we had to thank God for preserving life and limb. During Monday, three or four slight quiverings were ex pnienced, and owing to the threatening appearance of the weather, fe ra were entertained of a recurrence of more din unmet shocks. The weather cleared off in the evening, and the stars made their appearance. But few slept during the night, and at four o'clock and at half past seven o'clock in the morning two light shocks took place. Yesterday, business was at stand still. Though the chops cpensd as usual, run felt anxious and concerned, and this was increased when the wind once more set in from the south-east. At half-put three o'elock a slight shock passed through the earth, with a second followed by one, if anything, more severe than that felt on the previous morning. Every house in the town rocked and quivered like • ship in • gale of wiud at sea, and seve ral buildings either fell in, or were so shook as to endanger the inmates or those who paned beneath. Shocking to re late, Berraek-sergeant Lovel and two of his children, one a girl of about four yeses of age, and the second a b-g of eight, were buried beneath the falling bricks and rubbish which fell from the wall surrounding Mr. Fitzkerbert's stores. They were immediately dug out, but we grieve to state that the little girl was quite dead, and the boy so injured that he expired at 11 o'clock last night. The unfortunate father received Never, injuries, large pieces of flesh being torn from his thighs, bat, considering the awful nature of ' his affliction, he is doing better than could have been ex pected. But few brick or clay houses misted the shock. The Colonial Hospital was severely injured, so much so, that it was deemed advisable to remove the patients to Government House. The patients were removed from the military hospital to the wooden barracks at Mount Cook, and the pris men were taken from the gaol and placed in custoly of the soldiery. On all aides, and fa all directions, ruined stores and dwelling-homes prevented themselves to the ep —and the earthquake has clearly demonstrated that wooden buildings are shunt the only class of habitations which ran be deemed sane spinet such dreadful shocks. Tuesday night passed over, and daylight at length dawned on Wellington. Two or three ahoeka occurred, but not severe ones. Many walked about and did not trust them selves in any place of shelter, whilst numbers formed tents and covering in the open air. The weather has now changed, and the wind appears to be setting in from the north. Prom the appearances in the , it ie imagined that Tongarill, or some other volcano, is in active operation ; if so, we may deem the great danger passed. Throughout the whole of the dreadful sew we have to be thankful to the Supreme Being that so few of we fellow-natures have been numbered with the dud t mei whilat on this subject we would notify that the Scotch shah will be opened this evening for the purpsee of divine woesbip, and in miler to offer up our gratitude for the preservation of the community from destruction. . 4a on '911.! pereAdet Lire seuty (From the Independent of 25th Oct.) Wednesday, Oct. 18.—The independent was issued from the press about 12 o'clock a.m. In the afternoon the wind ones more at in from the southeast, and during the after noon and evening slight shocks were felt. Thursday, Oct. 19. -During the night the wind blew fresh and the clouds betokened heavy weather from the southward. A few minutes after 5, a.m., a third severe shock was experienced, which lasted about a minute, com pletely destroying the bui!diogs previously shakes. Megan. W. B. Rhodes & Co.'s brick bonded store, the Wesleyan church, and numerous dwellings of bad( and clay were levelled with tit. ground, and many dwellings built of these materials apparently lot previously injured were now seri ously damaged. Several families took refuge in the New Episcop-I Church, and the wooden buildinks were flown to as places of safety by those who had been driven from their usual plats of abode. A proclamation was issue! by his ex cellency, the liene•governor, ordering Friday, Oct. 29, to be observed as a general fast by the inhabitants of Port Nichol son. A company of soldiers and numerous civilians were employed during the day removing the property from Capt. Rhodes's bonded store, and it is with great pleasure we state the military conducts() themselves exceedingly well, working cheerfully and together, and that nearly the whole of the buried property was removed and placed in safety. Friday, Oct. 20.—The wind still continued from the same quarter, though the day was clearer than the preceding one. Prayers were offered up in the several churches by the mi nisters of the different denomination.. Shocks were felt at intervals, but not severe ones. Mr. Lovel, after lingering to this time, expired in the morning, bowed down by the weight of his afflictions. Saturday, Oct. 21—Was a remarkably fine day, but slight shocks still continued. The remains of Barrack-Sergeant Loved were consigned to the tomb_, hie two little ones having been buried the day previous. Deoeased was buried with military honours, the band of the 65th preceding the cor to the tomb, and a large number of civi li an. paid their last tribute of respect by attending the remains to the grave. Sunday, Oet . 22.—Fine dear day, with wind from the north. Shocks took place at intervals of three or four hours. Monday, Oct. 23.—Weather fine, with vend from the same quarter. But few shocks were felt, end hopes were entertained that the subsidence of the earthquake might be considered as certain. Tuesday, Oct, 24.—Monday night passed over quietly, with only a few slight quivers being felt. The morning was fine end beautiful, end business wu carried on as anal. Men were employed taking down the shattered dwellings, and activity prevailed in every direction. So far the inhabit ants were inclined to believe that the shocks were at an end; but at 10 minutes to 2 &slight tremble took place, and at 5 minutes to 2 s second and third, the three, with the moil la•ion, occupying seven and a half minutes of time. Up to this evening the shocks have continued with little interrup tion. Proclamation.—Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to visit this settlement with a great and grievous calamity, and it is fitting that a public acknowledgment be made of the Divine power, on whom all the operations of nature and the security of his creatures depend, and that prayers and supplications be offered up to Almighty God to avert the recurrence of any similar visitati ons now, therefore, I, Edward John Eyre, lieutenant-go vernor of the p rovince of New Munster, by and with On advice of my executive council, do hereby proclaim and de clare that to-morrow, the 20th of October, shall be held as a day of public fast, prey(r, and humiliation.

The Independent of Oct 28 very prop erly calls the arAsetion of agents, of abloom, and resident owners of land, to the necessity of lowering the price of land, and reckon the value of their property less. The Inhabitant. have been so much distressed by the late catastrophe as to be no longer able to pay 12s. per foot per annum, or to recover 1 their lases, unless leases are extended to 21 or 28 yeas., in stead of 7 and 14 as at present. Throughout the trying ea latnity it is gratifying to observe the Wellington papers speak in terms of the highest admiration of Lieutenant- Governer Eyre, who, during **shocks, visited the shattered dwellings. eueered the inmates, advised them to seek refuge I in houses constructed of wood, and otherwise eadeavoured to console them under their serious affliction. The barque Salmon, of London Capt Mills, left Welling ton on the 26th of October, for Sney, with upwards of 60 ' passengers, struck on a reef off the mouth of the Heads at Wellington, and became • total wreck. The pilot (eines Weltiered) ww is sharp of the venal, through whew nerli genes and want of energy in the hour of danger the vessel was loot. The passengers were happily taken oat of the vessel, and after some difficulty and danger landed in safety In a small bay, a mile distant from the pilot station, bat with few articles of clothing. The Wellington Government Gazette, Nov. 7th, ate down the quarterly revenue ending Sept. 30, at 18,666 L, and the total expenditure at 13,3071., showing an increase in the re wire on the previous quarter. The Independent, Nov. 15, notices the arrival at Nelson, Nov. 6, of the ship Bernicis from England, with 140 emigrants for the different southern settlement,. Among the passengers were the commissioners appointed by the Church of England Association to deter mine the site of the new settlement of Canterbury. The Otakou settlement Is stated by the New Zealand Spectator, Nov. 11, to number 1,000 Inhabitants, the greater part of whom had arrived there within the previous seven months In lug' vessels chartered by the company the last of which lauded 270 emigrants. The independent, October 28, in its advertising columns, announces that a new-paper was on the eve of publiesti^n at Drinedier, Otakou, to be Issued semimonthly. The Welling ton Government Gazette, Nov. 9 h, contains Mr. McLean's report on the adjustment of the Wanganui lend question. Mr. McLeau's endeavours had been attended with the most complete success; some 3f the chiefs exhibited a little dis like, bat ultimately they nearly all signed the relinquish ment, and took the sums of mosey allotted by government. The district thus acquired comprises 14 miles of coast by 10 miles of inland, or 89,600 acres, of which 44,000 are esti mated to be productive. This latter is thus divided : chosen by secti mists, 2.5,000 acres : allotted to natives, 2,700 acres ; unsl!otted to natives,l,7oo acres; unappropriated by the New Zealand Company, 15,000 acres. The natives throughout the Wanganui district generally evinced a desire for the settle ment of more Europe ans , as a means of securing the peace and prosperity of their country. From Auckland our accounts are down to the middle of October las:. On September 19 the members of the church of England had a meeting relative to the Christian warts of the populatioe ' when the chair wee taken by the Lord Bishop of New ZsAancl. The bishop read a pastoral letter, having for its object the collection of materials for the adjwitment ef a systematic form of church government for the diocese of New Zeeland. An institution called the " Advancement ' Society" had been established at Auckland, the objects of which were to develop the resources and capabilities of the colony. At the Oct her meeting samples were produced of the orchilla weed of the country, manufactured flax, 4.e. Bee . Mr. Nathan's new scoria house has been taken at a rental of 1001. per annum as a residence for his Escellency the Govemor•in Chief. Working parties of her Majesty's 68th Li giment were employed in constructing some public roads—a somewhat unusual service for troops of the line. News fa m the Bay of Islands was satisfactory. Some of the tribes in the interior were disturbed by intsstice roils and petty quarrels, and a revival of the old custom of " seeking payment" for former offences, which is much regretted by the friends of the aborigines, as receding from civilisation. Government agitation was still being culled on. Large tracts of land were under crops of wheat, and the , prospects were encouraging. The Auckland Southern Cross, Oct. 23, states that the re :oubtnble Heki had sent a peremp tory order to Mr. White, the police.inspector of Monganui, to quit that station as collector of customs. The settlers generally do not apprehend any danger from Heki, but incline to the opinion that the wily chief has need the thrett • in order to draw forth some demonstration on the part of government . THE RXPRWS, -Titin9VAT EVRIIAG. MARCH 29 1809. NEW BRUNSWICK. We have intelligence from St. John's of a disastrous character: Sr. Josue (N. B.), Fan. 27.—A most destructive fire occurred in this city last night. It broke out at half-past eleven o'clock, in the rear of the three-story wooden build ing near the head of King-street, owned and occupied by Messrs. J. and G. Lawrence, 85 a cabinet ware-room. and tenanted by Messrs. B O'Brien, u n book store, W. Car ville, as a saddler's shop, and by the Order of Sons of Tem perance, as a division room. The fire spread with great rapidity, and in a short time enveloped the adjoining build ings in 111371:1, and swept everything before it until it reached the country market-house on King's-square, where its further progress was fortunately stayed in that direc tion. Every building on the west side of King-street, as far down as the brick building of Moses Vernon, was consumed; and here also the eonfiegration was happily arrested. A strong north wind prevailed at the time of the fi-e, carrying the cinders and burning embers to a consider able distance. All the houses on the southern side of King street were at one time in imminent danger. The cuaola of Trinity church, as well as several buildings in that vicinity, caught fire. At one time we were fearful that Old Trinity was destined to become a prey to the flames; but the strenu ous exertions of our citizens, aided by the military, sired this edifice from destruction, al•hough the cupola, and the pillars which supported it were burned off. We reget to state that three persons were seriously injured by the falling of the timbers end pieces of the cupola of Trinity church, but all of them will probably recover. LABUAN. From this settlement—colony it cannot be called, since no one will resort to it—we have received communications to the 15th of Jun try. The plus) was perhaps somewhat more healthy, for the efficials having removed to the higher ground, away from the site originally selected for the town, and such u were sick being absent ;n the Meander, there wee more apparent healthfulness prevailing. The Madras troops were comparatively free from ei knees ; there were several cues of fever amongst them, but nut of a severe type. On rrrival of the last overland mail from the East ern Archipelago, it was mentioned in the Erpress that the health of Sir James Brooke was such as to cause the utmost anxiety to his friends. Sir James quitted Labium in her Majesty's ship Meander, ostensibly on a visit to Seale°, but in fact to try the benefit of a sea trip. The Mundt r left on Dec. 10, followed by the Jolly Bachelor, cutter, belonging to Sir James. The cutter, in charge of Lieut Old field, R.N., was to keep company with the Meander for two or three days, and then return with accounts of Sir James Brooke's health and the mails, Sir James's indisposit;on not permitting him to finish his let ters before leaving Lunen. Since the departure of the frigate and cutter nothing had been seen or heard of them, although nearly forty days had expired. Various conjectures are formed relative to the cause of detention, as that the frigate may probably have proceeded to Celebes, and extended her intended cruise; but no certain information could be obtained, nor had the Meander been seen by any of the native prows cruising along the coast of Borneo. As the Meander was provisioned only for 40 days, her return would be immediate, unless something has happened. The arrival of the next mail from China and the Straits will set the question at rest. Since writing the above, other communications are to hind, which announce the ate arrival of the Meander, at Singapore, on the 4th February. It would appear that the health of Sir James Brooke continued so completely broken, that for three weeks his excellency's life was despaired of. Sir James, we learn, is perfectly restored, and was to leave Labuan in February, on a visit to Sarawak. The Meander, during her criese, visited Sooloo, but the Sultan ex pressed himself ea are at the treatment he received from the Dutch some months previous that he felt loth to enter into any treaty engagements. The ob bect of the mission thus failed, but will, we learn, renewed in the course of the year. The Meander also visited Mandel Bay, where all was found to be qu'et. Tne adviors received by this op portunity extended to January 30. The colony was more favourably reported of inconsequence of the Eu ropeans having removed to the higher lands. Lieut. Hoskins, RN., the Master-attendant of Labuan, was abut to relinquish his office owing to sickness and some misunderstanding with the Lieutenant-Gover nor, the latter functionary having, it would appear, managed to make himself uncordial to all the officials. Public roads were in course of construction. The coal mine was in full operation. In addition to 1,000 tons being stocked, the mine yielded from 200 to 300 monthly. Ine Court. HER MAJESTY'S LEVEE. The Queen held a levee yesterday afternoon in St. James's Mace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived from Saddest's= Palace,sseerted by a party of Life Guards.
