NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That the Directors of this Company have this day Opened a BRANCH BANK at their temporary premises, No. 79, Shoreditch. By order. WM. M`KEWAN, General Manager. London, Oct. 31, 1860. with the pien-i-Bing-sz powers, in the Imperial decree which we never doubted they had received. Hang-ki then said that they had not received any other decreo than that already communicated to Lord Elgin, in Hang-Fuh's and Hang-ki's despatch, without date of the day (received 25th instant), and of this Tsung-han, the Commissioner of the Salt " Gabelle," who, partly as host and partly in satis faction of Chinese usage, was assisting at our con ference, went to procure a copy. He returned presently with one which he subsequently admitted had been made from a Pekin Gazette, which he also produced. The decree is identically the same with that recited in the above despatch. It does not state what the Commissioners are to discuss or dispose of nor does it state that they are invested with pien-i -hin- sz powers. It makes no allusion even to foreign affairs. • We continued to press Hang-ki regarding this decree, firmly persuaded that, as in 1858, the Em peror had issued one, declaratory of the nature of Kweiliang's mission, and his authority to deal with us. Hang-ki suggested that Kweiliang must have got his orders at his last audience of the Emperor but that such a decree as we spoke of might possi bly be in the possession of Hang-Fah, who was at his own residence, but as Tsung•haa continued to pass back and forward between Hang-ki and Kweiliang, it was deemed advisable to request an interview with the latter. This after a little delay was acceded to. Kweiliang informed us that he was very seriously indisposed. He looked so, and appeared at the same time rather to exaggerate his infirmity. Ho seemed at the same time fully con scious, as did the other two mandarins, that there was something wrong. It was explained to him that our commission had been simply to confer with Hang-ki, with a view to putting the convention, the terms of which he was already aware of, into shape, and that one of the first points to which we had naturally come was the exhibition of the powers referred to in the preamble, which would have to precede the signature of the convention itself; that under standing from Hang-ki that there was no decree on the subject, except that short one of the 24th ult., we had deemed it advisable to hear this from his Excellency Kweiliang's own lips, as we thought it useless to proceed with the further consideration of the draft we had brought, until we had informed Lord Elgin of the fact. Kweiliang, as Tsung-han had done previously, fell back upon his first inter view with Lord Elgin, in 1858. He said he had then produced a decree which was rejected as in sufficient, because he was not furnished with a Kwan-fang, and that he had now brought a Kwan fang without a special decree. He was reminded that the former decree was objected to as being in itself incomplete, even had he possessed a Kwan fang, but that that decree did at least declare that he was armed with the plenipotentiary powers he assumed in his title. arid he was again urged to say when, or by what decree, he was now invested with the same title, to his employment of which alone was to be attributed Lord Elgin's acceptance of him as a Minister qualified to treat of the matter in hand. Kweiliang endeavoured to impress upon us that he was sure to be regarded at Pekin as possessing the necessary powers, as in Lord Elgin's letters to him, which he had forwarded to the capital, he had always been addressed by Lord Elgin as Plenipo tentiary Minister. After some beating about the bush, however, he admitted that he had no decree save the one before us, but would immediately write to Pekin for the powers required. We then took our leave. (Signed) THOMAS WADE, HARRY S. PARKES, Joint Chinese Secretaries. nclosnre No. 2, in the Earl of Elgin's despatch of Sept. 8, 1860.) The undersigned, Earl of Elgin, &c,, has the honour t© acknowledge the note of their Excellencies the Imperial Commissioners, proposing an interview with him this day. The undersigned has since received the report of his secretaries, Mr. Wade and Mr. Parkes, who were yesterday sent to deliver officially to the Assistant-Commissioner Hangki, the draft of the Convention which, as stated by the undersigned in his despatch of the 29th August, it was necessary should be signed before he could apply to the com manders-in-chief to desist from offensive operations. Independently of the plain language used in the undersigned's despatch above referred to, the nature 1 of the stipulations to be entered into by this Con vention having been communicated in various con versations, dated so far back as the 3d instant, and a draft of almost the whole Convention placed in their hands on the sth instant, it is with no little surprise that the undersigned has learnt that their Excellencies declare that they have no authority to sign the Convention until it shall have been sub mitted to his Majesty the Emperor, and that they are unable to produce any decree investing them with the powers implied by certain words forming part of their official titles, and their assumption ofl which alone induced the undersigned to regard I their Excellencies as competent to the negotiations which their despatches of the 23d of August and 25th of August declared them qualified to under take. The undersigned will not dwell on the want of good faith indicated by this proceeding. It is enough for him to observe that the alleged neces 3ity of reference to Pekin, from a point so distant as this involves delays to which he will not submit. He has accordingly called upon his Excellency the General commanding her Britannic Majesty's army in China, to provide him with such a force as will enable him to proceed, without loss of time, to Tung Chan, and he has further to intimate to the Impe rial Commissioners that he can neither receive their visit nor enter into any Convention with them, for the re-establishment of peace, till he shall have reached that city.

The latest intelligence from the seat of war in New Zealand leaves matters nearly where they were a month ago. General Pratt, on his arrival, did not immediately assume the command of the troops. He found that the commanding officer was fettered in his operations by striet instructions from the Go vernor, Colonel Gore Browne—so much so as to justify the General in expressing an opinion that Colonel Gold could not have acted otherwise than he did. The forces of all arms at the commanding officer's disposal amount to 2,600 electives, and the insurgent natives are supposed not to reach that number. It is further stated that General Pratt intimated that unless the Governor would give him carte blancie as to the conduct of the war,he should decline the responsibility of the command and re turn to Melbourne, and that the Governor had yielded to this condition. The General was quite right in having his position clearly defined. In order to explain this, it will be necessary to say a few words on the relative positions of the Governor-in-Chief and Captain-General of a colony and the commander of the troops. There are cer tain " Rules and Regulations for her Majesty's Co lonial Service" made in Downing-street, in which the state of things in New Zealand has evidently not been contemplated, and therefore it is not pro vided for. Where the Governor is of the rank of (full) colonel in the army, he is usually, though not invariably, appointed Commander-in-Chief; but where he is below that rank, or is a naval officer, or not a military man, he is appointed and styled " Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief," and the military command is intrusted to a military officer of equal or superior rank. This is the case in New Zealand, the Governor being,l belive, a Lieutenant- Colonel in the East Indian Army. In this case the Governor, as Captain-General, has the distribution and detachment of the troops intrusted to him, the commander of. the troops being responsible for " military details," which are, however, not de fined. It is only in case of " actual hostilities" from a "foreign enemy" that the commander of the troops is authorised to " assume the entire com mand." In all other cases he is bound to " con form to the instructions issued to him by the Go vernor." Now the natives of New Zealand, having become subjects of the Queen by the treaty of Waitangi, are not a " foreign enemy," although the character of the war is precisely such as would arise front the presence of a " foreign enemy," and therefore equally demanding that the commander of the troops should not be crippled by his instruc tions, but should have the entire command. This, it is said, has been conceded to General Pratt in a conference which he had with the Governor at Auckland, and he had returned to New Plymouth with full powers. Up to the latest advices Gen. Pratt had been acting on the defensive, but it was thought only as a necessary preliminary to active aggressive opera- tions. He had sent the women and children to Nelson, and was occupied in completing the fortifi cation by intrenchment of the town of New Ply mouth. The natives were equally active in strength ening their position. They were also harassing the troops and settlers by sending out marauding par ties, burning houses, driving off cattle, and shooting or tomahawking any stray soldiers or settlers who happened to fall in their way. In many instances they had been successful, though kept in check by 1 parties of troops or volunteers, and occasionally by shot, shell, and rocket. While all this has been going on at Taranaki the General Assembly has been called together at Auck- land, and we are indebted to that circumstance for some very important disclosures, and for a general expression of opinion which we should otherwise have remained without. These disclosures impart to the war a character different from that which I communicated in former letters. A belief is gain ing ground among a large number of the settlers that the war is unjust; that Governor Browne has committed a great error ; that he has wantonly departed from principles which he himself had laid down for conducting the purchase of land ; that Teira, from whom he purchased the disputed block, had no title to it ; and, lastly, that by mistransla tion or unskilful use of the native language, what he intended as a proclamation of martial law (it self wholly illegal and beyond his powers) was really a declaration of war, and would be so under stood by the natives and by every person acquainted with the Maori language. The unhappy conse quence is that the most friendly of the natives, those ' who have for years done everything in their power to support the Queen's Government, are indignant at the gross injustice done to Wirimu Kingi ; and this destruction of confidence in the justice of the Governor (for they know that over native af fairs the Governor is without control) has been fol lowed, in consequence of all that has occurred at Taranaki, by contempt for our power. This is a state of opinion as disastrous to the native as to the settlers, and both parties are now so committed to the war that the Government cannot, and the na tives will not, recede. Even admitting that the taking of the disputed block of land was an act of gross spoliation, it cannot be acknowledged as a valid ground for open rebellion. Thus the Governor has reduced the Crown to this false position—that it is compelled to make its power manifest at the expense of its character for justice. I must here remind your readers that when, by the New Zealand Constitution Act, the control of their local affairs was handed over to the local Legis lature, the management and regulation of all that concerned the natives was reserved to the Governor alone, subject, of course, to Royal instructions and Secretary of State's despatches. The Governor, therefore, is alone responsible for his policy in rela tion to the native population, except, of course, where he is relieved from responsibility by specific instructions. I will not stop hero to discuss the wisdom of his policy. It was founded on the hypo thesis that the settlers and their representatives were predisposed to act unjustlytowards the natives, and that the Governor's exclusive power and autho rity were necessary for the protection of the infe rior race. There have undoubtedly always been great diffi culties in dealing with the lands of the natives so as to avoid getting the Government implicated in old disputed claims, which are often extremelyeowmhpelrie eated ; and there is no part of Now Zealand these difficulties have been so great as at Taranaki, because the tide of conquest and occupation fpatoirvoNanbryds atthe conqu erors has rolled backwards least three several timeswithihnadtlaiedhmereemdotroythoef Europeans. If the Government rule, which native custom sanctioned, of dealing with the occupying conquerors and ignoring the conquered, who, in most cases, were occupying con querors elsewhere, the difficulties would have been p RICE 4D .

Th e presen t war , occupy and td however, does not turn on the old di spu t e se ttl e d , ioner Spain's award, and reopene d by Mr. Commiss roy in 1844, or at l eas t on l y in by Governor Fitz. directly directly and. remo.telY• It arose out of the pur chase of a block of .600 acres, on the left ba n k o f a chief named Teira, to which the Waitara River, o.: P' ; superior chief of the Hapu, Wirimu Kingi, as the or sub-tribe, to which he belongs—a branch of the Nffa-ti-awa—bas what we should call a paramount title. This species ot title, whether wisely or nn wisely is of little or ncr consequenee here, has been recognised by the Governor in many ,dealings with the natives for their lands. It was laid down, as the rule by which the Government would be bound, " that the tribal rights should ho recognised, and that individual claims to occupy should be diere garded." On the whole, I am inclined to think this rule was a just one. The title to the land it self is in the tribe, i.e., tribal, as the rule calls it— quasi national, as we may explain it. The indi viduals of the tribe have only a right to occupy for cultivation, and when they have taken what the land will yield, their right ceases to be of any value. But the tribal right remains. Now, in dealing with Teira the Governor has departed from his own rule, and this not without the fullest warning, not only from Wirimu Kingi him self, but from a great namber of disinte rested and friendly chiefs of the Nga-ti-awa, in cluding our noble old friend E. Funi, who is in capable of any misstatement, and RI whai Te Ahu, who is an ordained deacon of the Church of England. Teira's right, if any, is simply a right tcr ,occupy a small portion, I believe about 1-60th part, .of the rock which in the native language is named ." To Porepore," of which the tribal title is in W. Kingi, while the individual claims of himself and family' , are far larger than Teira's. Riwhai Te Ahu has written a long letter to the Superintendent of Wel lington, Dr. Featherston, asserting and establishing W. Kingi's claim, and consequently the invalidity of the Governor's purchase and the injustice of the war. This is confirmed by another letter, signed by four other chiefs well known to the settlers of Wellington. These matters have been brought be fore the Assembly by Dr. Featherston in a speech which seems to me unanswerable, and his views are entertained by many of the more influential settlers. This does not bear out the Downing-street hypothesis to which I have already alluded. I now come to the question which is really one of paramount importance in tracing this miserable war to its source. The cause of quarrel is, no doubt, the block of laud known by the natives as "Te Porepore." But who converted this quarrel into a war ? I say, without hesitation, Col. Gore Browne, and I proceed to the proof. There can be no doubt that, upon learning the Government had taken possession of the disputed block, Wirimu Kingi assumed a hostile aspect. He entered upon the land, which he asserted was his. I venture to say that no black-letter lawyer could have tortured this into a " forcible entry" with " strong hand" under the statutes of Richard 11. and Henry VI. He found the door open and he walked in. When quietly in he fortified his pah and evinced a warlike intention ; but it was an intention only. Ido not doubt that Kingi meant fighting, and nothing else; but he had not gone beyond showing that he in• tended to keep possession. There was not oven the black-letter man's " forcible detainer" after a " peaceable, but illegal entry." At this point the matter was clearly open to adjustment. There were plenty of " mutual friends" who at that time would have stepped in to prevent collision—E. Puni, Te Ahu, E. Take, Archdeacon Hadfield, Featherston, the Superintendent, and Whitely, the Wesleyan missionary. Suddenly, the very door to negotia tion was closed with a bang, by what was in tended as a declaration of martial law, but which was really a declaration of war. Here let me ob serve, by way of preface, that the Governor has been ill advised as to his own power to proclaim martial law. The Governor has no powers but such as are imparted to him by his commission and power to proclaim and exercise martial law is not among them. The Queen herself has no such power, and therefore could not impart it to her Governor. Yet in the face of the Petition of Right, the Annual Mutiny Act, and other statutes—in the face, also, of numerous decisions, one of which cost a Governor £lO,OOO and costs, and another cost another Go vernor (Wale) his life—this Governor Browne has been guilty of a double usurpation by proclaiming, or intending to proclaim, martial law. But now let us read its terms. The proclamation was, of course, published in the Maori language, and the literal translation of the Maori version is as follows : " By the Governor, &e. " Because soon will be commenced the work of the sol diers of the Queen against the natives of Taranaki, who are haughty (rebellious), fighting against the authority of to Queen. Now I, the Governor, do openly proclaim and publish this word, that the flohting law will extend at this time to Taranaki as a fixed law, until the Vme when it shall be revoked by proclamation. " Given by my hand under the Great Seal, &c., " Tnoxs.S GORE BROWNE." Now, this proclamation is not directed solely against Kingi's party in arms at Waitara, but is ex- tended to all the natives at Taranaki who are alleged to be fighting against the Queen, although at the time (Jan. 27, 1860) not only had no fighting taken place, but no open act of rebellion had been committed. As the natives would read it—as any one might read it, the proclamation was against the Ngatiruanui and the Taranaki tribes who had not joined Kingi, as against Kingi's Ngatiawa. It can not be wondered at that the tribes who were de nounced as rebels fighting against the Queen (an undoubted falsehood) should at once make common cause with Wirimu Kingi. Denounced as rebels they had nothing to lose and much to gain by be coming rebels. Having thus wantonly provoked this wretched war the Governor seems to have appeased his con science by declining to carry it on with vigour. General Pratt is reported to have declared that Colonel Gold, so loudly condemned for inactivity, was justified by the Governor's instructions, and could not have acted otherwise than he did. Well might Mr. Superintendent Featherston say : that the " While honestly and conscientiously war is an unjust and unholy war, I cannot but n fe g el that we are placed in a most while, p a inful position ; for on the ono on the war hand, any retreat or any vacillation in carrying uile' might be most disastrous to both races,itis, on the other hand, most shocking to urg e that w shed ding blood in a cause which we e shoul d go on believe to be unjust. I cannot but express an earnest hope that we may be able to devise some means of bringingthtehecocwnriloictntoorathcleossafe wietytho-f out compromising the dignity of both races. I would remind you that, c as the natives have not in this house any representatives oftettheir m their interests —to For race, we are bound by a sense of justice to p mete out equal ju stice. hi g her duty that c an possibly y o pro tect part, I know of no devolve upon this house than to prove to the natives that it is a tribunal to which a n t ap peal for redress will never be made in vain. I can conceive no means more calculated to restore the confidence of the natives in the justice of the Government, which has been so entirely destroyed by these transactions, as a determina tion evinced by this house to protect them from acts of in justice, no matter how high the power by which they are perpetrated. Such, I repeat, is the most sacred duty which can devolve on this house." There are petitions for the Governor's recall— one from friendly natives at and near Olaki and Waikanae. The Governor has charged Archdeacon Hadfield with originating this petition. This Mr. Hadfield has denied, and I think a man of his high character might have stopped there ; but he has thought fit to go further. He has sifted the whole evidence, and has shown upon what scanty sur mises the Governor has thought fit to make a grave charge against a dignified clergyman of the church. In fact, Bishop Selwyn, Sir William Martin (late Chief Justice), and Archdeacon Hadfield have done no more than protest to the Governor himself against an act of spoliation which is the sole muse of this unhappy war. The innocent victims are the peaceful sett THE WAR IN CHINA. (From the Gazette of last Evening.) FOREIGN OFFICE, Nov. 13. A despatch, dated Tientsin, September 8, 1860, of which the following is att extract, has, with its enclosures, been this day received at the Foreign Office from the Earl of Elgin, her Majesty's High Commissioner and Plenipotentiary in China : In pursuance of an arrangement previously made, Messrs. Wade and Parkes waited, by my desire, on the Imperial Commissioners on the 6th inst., with a draft of the Convention which, it was under stood, was to have been signed on the Bth. The Commissioners, who had already been unofficially apprised of its terms, made little objection to any portion of it, except the clause providing that of the total indemnity of eight million taels declared to be due by China to Great Britain, one million should be paid before Tien-tsin was evacuated by the British troops. After some conversation, how ever, in which they betrayed manifest signs of un easiness, they announced to my secretaries that they could not stipulate that the Convention should take effect without previous ratification, and that so far from being ready to sign it on the Bth inst., they could not do so at all until it had been sub mitted to the Emperor for his approval. This intimation led to a discussion respecting the extent of the powers held by Kweiliang and his colleagues. It is not very easy to apprehend the precise import of the phraseology employed in Imperial decrees on subjects of this nature. It was very obvious, however, from what passed during the course of this discussion, that Kweiliang either had not, or did not, at this particular moment wish it to be supposed that he had powers equal to those which he held. when he made a treaty with me in 1858 ; although in the first communication which I received from him announcing his appointment, the title which he assumed, and the language which he employed, were calculated to convey the opposite impression. It was impossible to attribute this departure from a precedent so recently established, and esta blished in the person of Kweiliang himself, to any thing but a deliberate design to create delay which might throw us into the winter, and thereby ex tricate the Pekin Government from its present em barrassments. To check this policy by an act of vigour was manifestly indispensable, unless we in tended to forfeit all the advantages secured by our advance to this point; and I accordingly resolved, with Baron Gros' concurrence, to intimate to the Imperial Commissioners, that, in consequence of the want of good faith exhibited by them in as suming the title of Plenipotentiaries, when they could not exercise the authority which it implied, and of the delays which the alleged necessity of constant reference to Pekin would occasion, I had determined to proceed at once to Tangchou, and to enter into no further communications with them until I should have reached that place. Inclosure No. 2 in this despatch is a copy of the letter in which I conveyed to them this determina tion, and inclosure No. 1 is a copy of the report, in which Messrs. Wade and Parkes narrates what passed at the interview to which I have been re ferring. My letter to the Imperial Commissioners pro duced a reply, of which inclosure No. 3 is a copy. But although civilly worded and abounding in promise, their reply was, in fact, an admission of the charge that'they had been hitherto negotiating under false pretences. Inclosuxe No. 4is a copy of my answer, and simply states that I adhere to the resolution communicated to them in my former despatch. With the infelicity which so often characterises the proceedings of Chinese negotiators in such cases, the Imperial Commissioners betrayed their want of candour in this matter, on the day suc ceeding that on which Major-General Sir R. Napier reached this place with the 2d division of the force under Sir Hope Grant's comma - ad. The army was, therefore, in the best possible condition for a movement in advance, and I officially apprised the Commander-in-Chief, who has been throughout fully cognisant of the course of the negotiations in which I have been engaged, of the cause of my desire to proceed to Tangchou, in a letter of which the copy forms inclosure No. 5 of this despatch. (Inclosure No. 1, in the Earl of .Elgin's despatch of the Bth of September, 1860.) Memorandum of an interview between the As sistant Imperial Commissioners, Hangki, and Messrs. Wade and Parkes. TIENTSIN, Sept. 7, 1860. Under instructions from his Excellency the Earl of Elgin, who had communicated his wishes to that effect to the Commissioners in a despatch of the same date, we proceeded about half-past four on the afternoon of the 6th instant to the yamun of the salt commissioner, in which the Imperial Com missioner Kweiliang is staying, and at which it had been arranged we should meet the Assistant Commissioner Hangki, to deliver to the latter the draft of a convention, on signature of which Lord Elgin promised in his earlier despatch of the 29th of August, to call on the Commanders-in-Chief to desist from further hostilities. The substance of this convention had been made fully known to the Commissioners so early as the 3d instant, and a draft of the whole convention, with the exception of one article, was non-officially handed to Hang-ki on the evening of the sth inst. ; and it was then distinctly understood, after he had read it over, that the preliminary interview with the Ambassador should take place on the 7th, and the convention be signed on the Bth instant. The single article to be added, as we then told Hangki, concerned the troops, the distribution of which, in the south, was not yet absolutely decided ; but we repeated what he already knew, that the mo ment the one million taels, stipulated for in the convention, was paid, the force would be with drawn from Tien-tsin. The article, as it now stands, was of course added to the draft officially handed to him last evening. The condition affecting this movements of the troops, however, seemed corn paratively of little interest. His grand difficulty, to all appearance, was the payment of the money demanded. He had suggested some verbal changes and omissions in the despatch already in his hands, but nothing that would not have admitted of modification without compromising any principle. When now reading over the preamble, however, he was reminded that before signature the powers of the Plenipotentiaries would have to be pro duced, that is to say, on the part of the Chinese.

This induced us to remark that the two Com missioners, Kweiliang and Hang-Fuh, have each of them in their titles the words pier-i-hing-sz, implying power to act as the occasion shall demand, and we went on to inquire what words describing the question they were charged to dispose of had accompanied such other wordy .as ingested them .ole AoMes, 1...... . .uous labour, t 0,.« i-buildings hay . 4 V;'.. i f by p*Audin::=:,, ,"` celte44,ins: .. ~ j i Vxkli! ... , e1...•'•; - iou - - 0 113 ` 111 p, plicit ,-r '-.,..

SYDNEY, SEPT. 21, The insurrection io New Zealand shows no signs at present of approachh its termination, though the war may be said to have entered on a new phase. It is reported that 05 General Pratt's first arrival he found himself somewhat hampered by the restrictio ns pl ace d on m ilitary vovements by the Governor. But he paid a visit to Auckland, and had a conf erence w ith hi s E xce llency, and all diffi culties, if th ere h a d b een any, were re: 110 "d. He returned to Tara na ki a t f u ll liberty to , et on his discretion. Hi s fi rst act was to acce l era t e the de parture of the women and children to Nelson ( so as reduce the town to a mere military post. An att4.ek on the town has always been threatened by the' natives, and the necessity for leaving adequate pro tect,on for it, besides manning the stockades to the nor ti : and south of the town, distant several miles from e"11 other, was Colonel Gold's excuse for not concentrating all his force to drive the natives from their pahs. It is said that General Pratt quite jus tifies him in the general policy of caution which he has pursued. The force now in hand being, how ever, sufficiently srtrong And quite disposable, it w as determined that the na ti T es should no longer de fiantly occupy the pahs they had construct e d. Accordingly, on the 10th c r ,September, the Com_ mander-in-Chief set out, 1,443 0 st ron g , to attack Wirimu Kingi on the Waitara. They left town in the afternoon, and camped about four miles from the scene of anticipated hostilitia% morning an advance was made, a few shots were fired at the pah, which was then rushed, and found empty. It was soon demolished and burnt, though the strength and skill displayed in its construction elicited the admiration of its captors. The enemy, however, though they had deserted their artificial (I,9fences, were not far off, and had taken refuge in their natural defence—the bush. This was soon found out, for a party being thrown forward to ex aminelan.other pah close to the edge of the forest was receive:l with a sharp fire, in which one man was killed and two wounded, The fire was returned, and the party fell back, but they did not bring their fallen comrade with them. His body, together with his rifle and ammunition, fell as a trophy to the natives, as well as an officer's sword which was dropped. The fire being kept up briski? from the bush, shot and shell were thrown in vigorvusly on the spot whence smoke was seen to issue, but . with what result it is not known, for the General would not allow his men to be drawn into the bush, where they would be much more likely to get damage thav to do it. The tangled undergrowth of the forest' makes it particularly impenetrable by an ordinary soldier with his accoutrements, while the fern pros trated in many places by the prevalent high winds, and matted together, forms an excellent cover for a crouching rifleman. If the natives were not noto riously shocking bad marksmen, they n.lust have done much more execution, as they allowed the men to come pretty close to the edge of the bush before: opening fire. The troops kept up their return fire till noon, when they retired to camp, returning to town the next day. How many natives there were in hiding in the skirts of the bush it is impossible to say, but it is probable that there were not many. Some of Kingi's followers have returned to their cultivations to plant their crops r for they cannot afford to let the season pass over, or they would be hereafter in want of food and the party of the Waikatos have returned. for the present to their own country. A mili tary promenade to the south has been also under taken, and with similary nugatory results, The enemy had everywhere disappeared, and the de serted pahs were destroyed. This is the position which matters stand At present. A military force is assembled quite equal in numbers to the whole of Wirimu Kingi's following, and far superior in equipment. But the enemy will not come out. "While the limited and scattered force was unable to take the field and punish aggression, the natives were bold. Tbey built their palls . on Crown lands or settlers' farms, and carried their Inaraudings to within a mile of the town. But now that they are overmatched in force they retire behind The margin of the bush, ready to appear at any moment when they can do so with impunity,and safe in their shel ter against any regular military attack. At this rate the war may last for an indefinite time. It is satisfactory, however, to find that, in spite of the inducements afforded by an indecisive war, the insurrection does not spread. The Walkatos, as a tribe, have not joined Kingi, and it is confidently affirmed that they will not. At the same time, they are showing their attachment to the Maori idea by electing the son of Potatan, their late chief, to the office of King, vacant by his death. This is done, too, in opposition to the remonstrance of the Gover nor. The king movement was tolerated in the first instance as a harmless fancy, but recent events have shown that it is capable of a dangerous application. The Government would like to see it die II natural death, but compliance with this view cannot be en forced under present circumstances. The native conference near Auckland closed in the middle of August, the results of which are thus described by the New Zealander : " The assembly of the native chiefs was closed by his Excellency the Governor, with the following speech (a Maori translation of w hich was afterwards read to the meeting by Mr. M'Lean, the native secretary):— "' My friends, chiefs of New Zealand,—At this conference chiefs from all parts of New Zealand have, for the first time, met together.

Various m atters upon which yo u were im p erfectl y or incorrectly informed have been explained to you. your atten tion has been directed to the necessity of some better administration of justice in native districts, and a code of rules prepared by Dr. Martin (the late Chief Justice of New Zealand) has been sub mitted to you.
