MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. A quiet tons still prevails in the discount market, where the terms for accommodation continue to range freely per cent. below the Bank of England mini mum quotation. The immediate inquiry for money is moderate, but a temporary impulse will no doubt be given to business by the preparations which will soon have to be made for the liquidation of commercial accounts on the 6th prox. An average amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were steadily maintained. The sales were about 8,000 bales. A further sum of about £90,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon, exhibited a slight decline in the rates on Antwerp, Brussels, Vienna, and Trieste. Gold is now about 4-10ths dearer here than in Paris, and 7-10ths higher than in Hamburgh. A call of £25 per share, amounting to £250,000, becomes due on Friday on the last East Indian 5 per Cent. Railway Debentures. The Stock Exchange Markets are very dull, and the City, as usual on Derby day, presents the appearance of a partial holiday. A small amount of business is reported in Consols, which are now quoted 911 for money, and 911 to 911 for the account, being heavy. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 89-4 I; Efchequer Bills at 6s. to 2s. dis.; Bank Stock is firm at 234; and India 5 per Cent. Loan remains at 1014 I. The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market have been of a moderate character, but prices, in some instances, have shown more firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711; ditto, 1868, 551 6t; Mexican remain at 221; Spanish have improved to 511 ; and Russian 41 per Cents. to 911; Greek Bonds are marked 8; and Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. 901. In the Railway Share Narket the dealings have been on an extremely limited scale, in consequence of the absence of most of the dealers at Epsom, and prices generally have not varied to any extent. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very dull, without material alteration in values. BRITISH FUNDS.--CLOSING PRICES, Bank Stock 8 per Cent. Reduced Annuities ' 3 per Cent.

BOAT ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON.—On Sunday afternoon a boat containing a young man and two young women, was capsized when near t h e s h ore, ow i ng mani festly to the incompete ncy of the party in charge of her, and to his not understanding the manoeuvring necessary to effect a safe landing. Fortunately the accident took place close in shore, and prompt assistance Leing rendered the parties were quickly rescued, though, the women being drawn under the boat, the lives were in evident danger. Considering how often the rowing boats at Brighton are let to persons incapable of managing them properly, it is surprising that serious and fatal a ccidents do not More frequently occur; and the authorities mi g ht fi t l y bestow a littl e timely care on the subject, by ma ki ng fin _ Perative the attendance of a qualified boatman. - - - SECESSION FROM DISSENT. —Mr. Thomas Cart wright, an eminent minister of the New Connection of Methodists in the town of Nottingham, has forwarded his r "ination to the Conference, with a view to becoming a candidate for holy orders in the Church of England. Mr. Cartwright is said to be a good preacher and scholar. A Vienna letter says Her Majesty the Era• Press is handsomer than ever, but she still looks delicate. The report that she will pass the summer at Ems is incor rect. If all goes well their Majesties will be crowned at Pragu e , in the month of August, and that with very great NEQP and cerenlony."

Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., was heard for the appellant in this appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls in taking accounts in a partnership business between the par ties. Mr. Bruce followed on the same side, and contended that in taking an account of the partnership assets, the covenants in the partnership articles were entirely over looked. Dlr. Selwyn, QC., appeared for the executors and trustees of the late John Blyth, and supported the decree appealed against, Mr. Bovill followed on tho same side. Mr. It. Palmer, Q.C., was heard for the defendants. The value of the property, as between an incoming and outgoing partner, is fairly represented at the sum of £23,209 ls. 6c1., but if sold by public auct'on, it might not realise more than half that amount. The learned counsel submitted that the decision of the Court below should be reversed. Mr. Wickens followed'on the same side. Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., was heard in reply. The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment, said— Having heard the case fully argued by counsel on both sides, I have come to the conclusion that it was for the benefit of the married woman and infant to accept of the offer made, and, therefore, the certificate of the Chief Clerk and decision of the Master of tho Rolls must be affirmed, and the appeal dismissed, but without costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) NORTH V. GURNEY.-JUDGMENT. This was a competition between the judo' see of Bills of Exchange, Policy of Insurance, &c., and the bankrupt's assignee for the value of two cargoes of coals, £6,846 con signed to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, 27th November, 1858. The coals were shipped at Newcastle under contract,' and bills of exchange were transmitted to London, but before delivery and the price paid the owner became bankrupt, and the quest ion. raised was, whether the indorse° or assignee was preferable. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the two cargoes of coals wore in the order and disposition of the bankrupt at the time of his bankruptcy, and that his assignee was preferable to the indorse° for the price of the said coals, and ordered the money to be paid out of Court to the assignee, with costs, without prejudice to an equi table contribution of costs among the defendants. POLICE INT_BLLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SCANDALOUS CRUELTY. - William Henwood, cab driver, badge 11,638, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt at the instance of Mr. William Love, superintendent of the' Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with the following cruelty to a horse : From the evidence of Jabcz Heifer, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, Pall-mall, it appeared that this morning he saw the defendant at the bottom of Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, severely flogging his horse, which was drawing a four wheel cab. He told the defendant to desist and come down from his box, and on the defendant putting his hand under the horse's flanks, ho withdrew it full of blood. He had previously seen the defendant lash the horse six times with severity. Its flanks were cut to pieces, and there were several bad sores, one about a foot long, and the horse was in a very weak condition. The horse belonged to a man named Richardson, in Gray's-inn-lane. He had brought the horse to the court for his worship's inspection, as he never saw a horse that Elresented a more shocking spectacle. Prisoner said it was a, bad horse and he had had a bad night. Mr. Tyrwhitt having inspected the horse fined the defendant 40s. or a month, and said the next time it would be six months, and the officer should mention the ca pa at Clerkenwell, so that, as the owner of the horse lived in that district, he might, if he took the horse out again, be taken before Mr. Barker, who would know how to deal with him. 1109 111 148 202 CO (2 112 117 87 90 THE SUN, LONDOII, - WEDNEgDAV tVENING, MAY 29, 1861, lusineei done BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

" CLAPPINO."—The magistrate, Mr. Woolrych, was en gaged for two hours this morning in the investigation of a charge of fraud against two well-dressed fellows, named Thomas Graves and Edmund Doyle, who had cheated a Sussex grocer, named Eason, of £2, yesterday afternoon, by a trick called " Clapping." The prisoners met the prosecutor on London•bridge, and invited him to some target shooting. After - plying him with drink, an "old gentleman," a farmer, as he described himself, was introduced, who had lots of money, and wished to give it away, All the party adjourned to a public-house in Stepney, whero the prisoners and the old gentle man tossed and betted with each other. The prosecutor was more cute than the prisoners gave him credit for, and although he was advised by the " old gentleman" to stake his watch on a bet, he refused to do so. Ultimately b L'r ,, sovereigns on r, table, and they were picked up by the " old gentleman,' ' wLv vL opoeoo to Uri+. res to nIA. ait the game of "clapping," or "best t,c, or three.' The prosecutor was induced to back Graves, and the old gen tleman put down what purported to be a £5 note and a so vereign, and said, " I will bet you all round, but I won't bet unless you (prosecutor) join." Thero was a good deal of talk, tossing of coppers, and other nonsense, and the prosecutor was declared to have lost his money. The pri soners disappeared, but they were followed by the prosecu tor, who gave them into custody. Flash notes and imita tion sovereigns were found upon them, together with the two sovereigns of which they had defrauded the prosecutor. Committed for trial. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. Yesterday, to the surprise of both parties, after an expensive contest of some days, the committee, of which Mr. Cobbett is the chairman, threw out both the Mid-Devon and Cornwall and Devon Central Railway Bills, without assigning any spe cific reason beyond the intimation that the pre amble of neither bill had been proved to their satisfaction. The bill of the Great Western Rail way Company for a line from Lightmoor to Coal brookdale, with a branch to Wednesbury, and power to take additional lands at Wolverhamp ton, for the purchas e o f th e W e lli ng t on an d S e vern Junction, arrangements with the Wenlock and Severn Canal, and con fi rma ti on o f agree m en t s with the Val e o f Llangollen, was also passed in that committee.

PROPOSED ABOLITION OF SUNDAY FUNERALS. — Yesterday a deputation from the cl ergy an d m i n i sters o f various denominations, resident in the parish of St. Pan cras, waited upon the burial board of that parish, for the purpose of presenting a memorial, numerously signed, praying the board to take measures for the abolition of Sunday funerals at the St. Pancras Cemetery, at Finchley. Mr. R. F. Brettingham presided, an d th e d epu t a ti on con sisted of the Rev. Dr. Hamilton, minister of the Scotch Presbyterian church, Regent-square ; the Rev. C. H. Andrews, incumbent of St. Luke's: &c. The memorial, which bore the signature of the Rev. Canon Champnoys, the vicar, and nearly the whale of the district clergy and dissenting ministers of the parish, set forth that in March, 1860, a memorial was presented by the un d er t a k ers o f th e St. Pancras Cemetery at fa motion to accede to the prayer p F a in r c s h il i e o p y f r on a s y Sundays , such enhg petitionf orthe but t closing was ha lostot n a show of hands. The memorialists prayed a reconsiderati on of the subject, upon the following grounds :-Ist, That between 2,000 and 3,000 men engaged in the burial of the dead on Sundays, are ex cluded from religious worship; 2d, That the closing of the cemetery on Sundays would considerably recommend it to the patronage of the parishioners; and thirdly, That the expenses of funerals on Sundays are very much augmented by the extra refreshments of acquaintances, and that the decision of the board would tend to influence neighbouring parishes in their decision. After some questions as to whether the authorities of the City of London and other Cemeteries would also close them on Sundays, the board was ordered to be specially summoned to consider the subject.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL BATHING ACCIDENT. —A case of drowning occurred on Monday about noon, on the beach opposite Cannon-place, Brighton, to a young man named James Henry Barber. What renders the occurrence more sad is the fact that the deceased was married as lately as Thursday last, and had come down to Brighton on Saturday with his wife, and taken lodgings at 4b, Grenville Tlace. Having engaged one of Campbell's machines, he went into the water, and as he said he could not swim, the attendant directed his attention to a rope to take hold of, which he did not, it appears, avail himself of. After being in the water about a quarter of E n hour, he was seen by a young man, whose acquaintance he had made on the beach, when about up to his breast in the water, to turn over as if attempting in play a sort of summersault, and to disappear. As he did not come up again the alarm was given, and Campbell's son went in and tried to find him, but could not, and, as the water was thick, did not attempt to dive for him. A boat and nets were then procured, and search was made for the body, which was recovered in a lifeless state at the second cast of the net, and was conveyed to Hobden's baths and placed immediately in a hot bath. Mr. Pocock, surgeon, who arrived in a few minutes, used every means for a considerable time to restore animation, but in vain, as the body had been immersed in the water from 20 minutes to half an hour, thus rendering recovery perfectly hopeless, A thin piece of seaweed, about four inches long, was found to have been drawn into the wind pipe of deceased, and this was supposed by Mr. Pocock to have helped to produce suffocation. The greatest possible praise is due to the proprietors of Hobden's baths for the attention and kindness bestowed by them, not only on this, but on former similar occasions. An inquest was held in the evening, at the Lamb and Flag Inn, Cranbourn-street, when a verdict of Accidentally Prowned was returned.— Brighton Examiner. _ _ _ MORMON EMIGRATION.

The annual general meeting of the share and policy holders in this .ccie.ty was held yesterday at the offices, No. 2, Watei 10 0 -place, Pall-Mall, for the purpose of re ceiving the . directors' report of the past year, and for the re-election of the directors who retire according to the deed of settlement. Esq., P., occupi e d th e c h a i r . 11 The W.

Id. ; 1860, £119,526 Bs. 6d. , The diminution of revenue arising from lapsed or sur rendered policies, or policies under which claims have arisen within the year, amounted to £8,765 Os. 11d. The life and guarantee claims paid during the year amounted to £72,382 10s. Ild., which is not in excess of your actuary's expectations. The working expenditure (exclusive of commission and medical fees)'lor the past year amounted to £9,753, and the balance at the credit of the guarantee branch, after payment of losses, was £8,275. The balance of the year of income over expenditure was £30,200 18s. 4d. The sum at the credit of the guarantee, branch, after the tlayment 'of "liiaigae, dining each of the undermentioned years, has been as follows-1856, £4,314 83. lld ' • 1857, 4658 18s. 3d. ; 1858, £5,536 19 s . Ild . ; 1859, £6,212 Is. 5d.; 1860, £8,275 10s. 3d. Your directors have the satisfaction to announce that during the past year policies of guarantee have been issued to the Treasury (County Courts), Admiralty, Board of Trade, Goneral Pock--.lEns. Plaw Boardsi The Customs, H ome, C oor-olonial, India, andd - 001er Departments of State have approved the society's guarantee policies, and your directors therefore feel confident that the steady increase which has been observable in this branch of business since the beginning of the current year will be maintained. A more satisfactory class of guarantee business has lately been obtained from the agencies in Edinburgh and Glasgow, in consequence of the banks and other public bodies availing themselves of the society's guarantee poli cies, and an increase of this class of business may therefore be looked for; and your directors have made such arrange ments in connection with the Scottish bi anch as may be expected still further to extend the society's business in Scotland. In conformity with the deed of settlement of this society, Charles Forster, M.P., Richard Francis George, James Edward McConnell, and Charles William Reynolds, Esqs., directors, and John Parker, Esq., auditor, will retire from office, but, being eligible., offer themselves for re election. In conformity also with the deed of settlement, which provides for a valuation of the assets and liabilities of the society as existing on the 31st December, 1860, your actuary has been and still is engaged in that investigation, the result of which he expects to be able to report early in the month of August. A special meeting of the share holders will then be called to receive his report. By order of the board. W. CLELAND, Secretary. 2, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London, May 27. The CHAIRMAN said he had very great pleasure in meet• ing the share and policy holders on that occasion, because he had the satisfactory duty of informing them that the society was in a prosperous and sound state. (Hear, hear.) The diirectors, he could assure them, looked very carefully at every assurance before it was fully completed ; and although they might have done more than they had in the way of extending the business, had such not been the case, the great object of the board was to do a business that would yield a profit to the shaieholders and secure them from loss. The revenue of the society had for the last five years been increasing, and that fact was an unerring test that all things were going on prosperously. The persons interested in the society amounted to the large number of 16,000, and the success of their operations would be almost unlimited if each of those would only do a little to enlarge the business of the society. (Hear.) While their in come had been increasing the directors had made the greatest efforts to reduce their expenditure—(hear)—and the manner in which they had succeeded would be satis• factory to every one present. Their expenses in the year 1856 had been 13 1-3 d per cent. of their income ; in 1857 it fell to 8 3.4ths per cent, ; in 1858 it was 9 1-sth per cent. ; in 1859 it stood at 4 2-sths ; and in 1860 it was only 14 per sent. (Cheers.) Another very satisfactory announcement he had to make was, that in a year or two it was fully ex pected that the profits of the guarantee branch would en tirely pay the expenses of the life assurance department, so that their prospects were as good as their best friends ea culating th l e f f3ont7but T i nratilVel;"o " n l its completion the policyholders would have it laid before them, and the directors anticipated that it would be highly satisfac tory. (Hear, hear.) He would not detain them further, but, if he had omitted to mention anything on which any gentleman required information, he should be most happy to give an answer to any question that might be put to him. He begged to move that the report just read be received and adopted. (Cheers.) Mr. HILL said he had very great pleasure in seconding the motion of the Chairman for the reception of the report, The fact of a decreasing expenditure and an increasing business showed most clearly that they possessed a wise and prudent board of directors. Tho resolution was put to the meeting and carried una nimously. -The CHAIRMAN informed the meeting that the next duty was to elect directors for the ensuing year. According to the deed of settlement, the gentlemen retiring from office, viz., Charles Forster, M,P. , Richard Francis George, James Edward M'Connell, and Charles William Reynolds, Esqrs., were eligible for re-election, and offered themselves accordingly. Resolutions re-electing the whole of the retiring direc tors were carried unanimously. The retiring auditor, Charles Parker, Esq., was also unanimously re-elected. Mr. REYNOLDS said, alter the very satisfactory report which had been submitted to them, he felt it a privilege to move the following resolution :—" That the cordial and unanimous thanks of this meeting be and are hereby given to the directors for their able and judicious management of the society's business during the past year." The resolution having been seconded was carried unani mously. Mr. WESTHEAD, M.P., acknowledged the compliment on the part of the Board of Directors. Mr. FORSTER, M.P., said, as his name stood foremost amongst those gentlemen who had been re-elected direc tors, he rose to thank the meeting for the confidence ro • posed in them. He assured them they would grudge neither time nor trouble to promote the interests of the so ciety. (Cheers.) Mr. HILL moved a resolution to the effect that the divi dend on shares hitherto paid annually should for the future be paid half-yearly. Mr. GROSVENOR thought it would be advisable to adopt the resolution, and that being his opinion, he begged to second it. Thero being no opposition on the part of the directors, the resolution was agreed to unanimously. Mr. FIELD said before the meeting terminated he thought the best thanks were duo to their energetic and untiring manager and secretary, Mr. Cleland. (Cheers.) To his exertions much of their prosperity was due, and that be ing the case, he had very great pleasure in moving that the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to him for his exertions. Mr. SPOONER, 1‘.1.P., said ho was delighted to second such a resolution. (Cheers.) Everything depended on management, and their present sucoess showed that they had got the management in good hands. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. CLELAND said ho felt grateful for the mark of con fidence and respect passed upon him. It was his pride and pleasure to see the society progressing so successfully, and no exertion of his should be wanting to further extend its popularity. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack' at 5 o'clOck. Lord LYI TELTON presented a petition in favour of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition praying that the sale of spirituous liquors might be prohibited on Sun days. . _ PRIVATE BUSINESS. Sir John Simeon's (leasing) Estate, Westminster Im provement, Tyne Improvement, and Kingston-upon-Hull Docks Bills were read a second time.

THE GROWTH OF COTTON. Lord BROUGHAM begged to call the attention of the noble duke opposite to the important subject of the growth of cotton. He trusted the Government would pro mote b y every means in their power, and the Colonial -office would also encourage the same object. He had rec.eived several specimens of cotton raised in Ja maica, and having submitted them to the best authorities, they had fixed the value at very high prices. Even at 6d. per lb. a great profit could be made, growing cotton in Jamaica, for it had been calculated that an acre of ground there would yield 6001 b., which would be worth £l5, and the cost of raising the article would only • amount to £B. The Duke of NEW CASTLE said the noble and learned lord had not given notice of his question, but ho was in a position to give him an answer. alio Government had no neglected the consideration of the important subject, but the real difficulty was not the country in which it might be grown but the amount and the p ri c e of labour. If the noble lord meant by encouraging the growth -of cotton that the Government way tO ' offer a bounty then he must inform him that there was no such intention. If the profit on cotton grown in Jamaica was as large as the nobly lord said, it did seem to him totally unneces sary for the Government to interfere, as many individuals would only be too ready to engage in its produce. The Government, however, would give every encouragement man in communication withthe Indian Government to withdraw the restrictions upon the introduction of coolie labour. THE ATLANTIC MAIL CONTRACT. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that on Thursday neat he should move for the production of the correspondence between the Government and the Lord- Lieutenant relating to the Atlantic Royal Mail Contract. NEW PROVINCES (NEW ZEALAND) BILL. - - - - -- On the order for the second reading of this bill, The Duke of NE WCASTLE said thatin the Constitution Act passed some years ago for the colony of New Zealand there were certain provisions by which provinces—Canter bury and others—were established, and there was a provi sion to the effect that the general assembly should be the representative body for the whole colony, and that the as sembly might divide the provinces into separate province with the approbation of the Queen. In 1857 an act was passed by which many of the restrictions which had been imposed upon the general assembly were removed, and it was intended thereby to remove those restrictions which prevented the constitution of new provinces in the manner then provided; and giving the legislature permission to do it by an act of the ordinary character. In making those alterations the imperial parliament made this mistake, that it repealed the 62. th clause of the constitution act, which it obviously had intended should be done. Since that period the general assembly of New Zealand had separated one of toe provinces into two, by an act of the colonial legislature, and that act was in the usual way confirmed at home, no doubt existing that the course pursued was regular and the act valid. Subsequently doubts arose and the matter was referred to the law officers of the Crown, and they were of opinion that it was not competent to the colonial legislature to separate the province in the manner which he had stated. This bill was merely for the purpose of correcting the mistake, and to render valid the act of the colonial legislature. He begged, therefore, to move the second reading of the bill. Earl GREY said this bill was one to which there could be no possible objection. But he could not allow the second reading to pass without stating that. in the present critical and distracted state of New Zealand he was sur prised this should be the only measure submitted by tb. Government to Parliament in reference to tliat colon They knew from the papers on the table and more recent accounts that for more than two years had been raging in New Zealand; and that in that unhappy war 50 officers and men of the European force therei;dbeen killed and 140 men wounded, a vast amount of property destroyed, and one settlement laid waste. He thought the enormous expense incurred would greatly dis arrange the calculations of the Chancellor of the Exche quer as to his surplus at the end of the financial year. He felt persuaded that this unhappy contest would not be ' A . IL -- vat,. - minate the race of Maories ; but that would be an end of the war to which he could not look forward without feelings of horror, and which he felt sure would be shared by all right-thinking persons in this country, and such a course of proceeding would not only be a calamity but a disgrace to this country. When they considered all the circuni- stances of the war, they must see that, if the Maories were driven to desperation, they would, before they would yield, inflict a large amount of suffering upon the Europeans. It would not be enough to send out additional troops, but the Government ought to make some attempt to bring about peace by conciliatory measures, and thus endeavour to gain tho confidence of the /geodes. (Hear.) If under the circum- stances which had arisen the assistance of Parliament was necessary, that assistance ought already to have been asked for. The war had been produced by errors on the part of the Government of New Zealand—errors which it might not be too late to correct. Their lordships were aware that this war began by an attempt on the part of the Government of New Zealand to take forcible possession of a piece of land acquired by purchase, which was disputed by one of the native chiefs. Much had-been said whether that purchase was valid, and he should abstain from entering into that part of the subject. It would be sufficient for him to say that some high authorities were against the validity of the pur chase, which showed at least that it was of doubtful validity. In the first place there was the authority of the Bishop of New Zealand, and a great number of the missionaries. (Hear, hear.) He knew that an attempt had been made to lower their authority because they were sup posed to have sympathy with the natives. The validity of the purchase was also denied by Mr. Clark, protector of the aborigines undor Sir G. Grey ; by Mr. Swainson, for merly attorney-general; and above all, by Sir W. Martin, who had been formerly chief justice of New Zealand, and had attained the highest reputation in that position. These were some of the quoted authorities ; and if a shadow of doubt could rest upon this transaction both justice and ho nesty required that the Government of New Zealand should _ -- have abstained from making th a t purchase. Considering the extreme jealousy and sensitiveness of the natives on questions relating to land, this was a subject on which great care out to exercised. It ought to have been understood that no advantage likely to be derived from the possession of an insignificant plot of land could be compared with the danger likely to result from the excitement which might be supposed to follow such a transaction. Of course that po licy was adopted in forgetfulness of the wise advice of Sir G. Grey a few years ago, when great excitement existed among the Maories. When an act was passed for esta blishing a constitution, Sir G. Grey pointed out that war at that time was scarcely over, and that by the proposed fon stitution the entire power of the revenue would be vested in the represensatives . of the settlers to the exclusion of the natives, and that in his opinion an attempt to enforce that constitution would lead to armed resistance. It was his (Earl Grey's) duty as Colonial Secretary at that time to ask their lordships to suspend that constitution, result, he believed, showed that that was sound advice. Sir G. Grey adopted the principle of repression witthhereapect to anything like violence or disturbance; but at a tion to same time his policy was one of kindness and d cons and the a d men were not well.disposed.

Grey ; but unfortunately that bill contained one provision which led to great misfortunes. It was de cided by that measure that a chief executive officer should be elected, instead of being appointed by the Crown. That was In accordance with the advice of Sir G. Grey ; but though he was a most able man, on whom general reliance could be placed, he could net claim to be infallible, and in this matter he (Earl Grey) thought, it was clear then and still clearer now that Sir G. Grey was wrong. He (Earl Grey) had given that clause his most earnest opposition in that house, but he had not succeeded in securing its omis sion. The clause was passed in the shape in which it was proposed, and the result had been the fulfilment of his worst anticipations. With respect to party government, he had always thought it little suited to a colony, and that the evils resulting from it were considerable. In Australia the evils of this system were insignificant compared with those of New Zealand. It was impossible that a few thousand Bri tish settlers could be placed in juxta-position with a larger number of natives, sensitive of their rights and jealous of their liberties, and who could not see all power placed in the hands of a European minority without creating in th minds of the native majority deep discontent. It was clear from the papers which had been placed upon the table that such was the result.
