This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur- Chasing and carrying on the important and well-known busi ness of Engineers, Ironfounders, and Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery and Implements, a hich having been established nearly half a century, has been conducted for the last thirty years by Messrs. Barrett, Exalt, and Andrewes. While these gentlemen will realise by this transaction the accumulated profits of many years, they will yet remain large nh ,reho der , and continue to give their active co-operation in conducting the future business of the company. The demand for machinery at home and abroad being so extensive, capital to any extent can be profitably employed in its production, end the recent transfer of so many of the first-class engineering firms in the country to companies formed under the Act of 1862, among whom may be named Messrs. Fairbairn and Co., and Messrs. Sharp, Stewart, and Co., of Manchester, Messrs. John Brown and Co.. and Messrs. Cam 'Zell and Co., of z-heffield, Messrs. Slaughter, Gruning, and Co., of Bristol, &c., is at once proof of the advantageous cha racter f the principle of association. A provsioal Agreement, euitable and stisfactory, the Company, ente i red n into w,th the Ve q ndors, which secures to the Company, at a valuation, the freehold known as " The Katesgrove Iron Works, Reading," together a ith other valuable freeholds and leaseholds, the goodwill, stock in trade, plant, machinery, patent rights, etc. The freeh dds consist of water-side premises, having a Iliver frontage of 440 feet, with a roadway on the other side, and an average depth found feet, on which are erected the large and commodious foundry, smy boiler eni neers', fitters', and erectors' shops, repletewith the necessary tools and machinery. The engine-hous with its e ho ont horizontal engine of 40-horse power, pair of boilers, baths, gas works, offices, etc., as well as the lofty and massive store rooms, pattern stores, &c A very large and cornmodious wood machine shop about 120 feet long by 30 feet wide, and a con verted timber yard occupies the site of another freeho'd. The leasehold property consists of 10 acres of meadow land, separated by the River Kennet from the Katesgrove freehold, and easily connected at any time by a bridge. The remaining works, on which are additional steam en gines of thirty-five horse power, are h Id on annual tenure, on which are the saw mills, stables, wood shops, store rooms, iron house, and warehouses, smithy, sherie, show rooms, offices, &c., the whole of which are conveniently arranged. The connections and Agencies established by the retiring Firm, both in this country and in the Colonies, as well as throughout Europe, combined with the signal success which their manufactures have attained, and the leading position Which they hold, their recognised standing at the Interna tional Exhibitions in England in 1851 and 1162, and in France in 1 855, manifested also in the numerous and distinguished Priz's they have taken throughout Europe, cannot fail to secure to this Company a r rosperous future. As a guarantee ef the soundness of the udertaking, the V(ndors have azreed that they will not recei n ve any interest on their nbares until a minimum dividend of 5 per cent. has b'en paid on the remainder of the subscribed cat ital. which a,reement le to ext end over a period of live yeArs—while Mr. Wiliam Exalt and Mr. Charles J. Andrewes,who have taken respentvely the Engineering and Co mmerc i a l Manageme t the business, will, as anon as the transfer is complete, take seats at the B oard, and bring to bear their extensive and valuable experience. Whilst the Directors attach much importance to this 'tree inent with the Vendors, they think it right to state that they have been advi.ed by those capable of forming a correct opi nion on the subject, that the shareholders may fully antici pate a safe and remunerative dividend, and will therefore only add, in conclusion, that of the many enterprises now bet, re the public, few can surpass it in this reasonable expec tation, inasmuch as its opr rations will; not be suspended for be gle day ; its connection is made, the profits will the re f ore be that im dmeerv ic iate, and the Directora have every reason to hope the services of the present executive staff, which has so to R. and faithfully served the retirin g fi rm, may be secured their successors. had Pr ospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be of the Bankers, rirokere, Solicitors, and Secretary, at the k-Hfices of the Company in London or Reading.

The Central Committee, in acknowledging the receipt of this sum of £566 12s 4d, making, with the preceding remit tances, a arm of £9,066 12s 4d as the amount of contribu tions forwarded by the committee of the Marquis of eland- Garde, has to request your excellency to express anew to his lordship, and all who have co-operated with him, the hearty thanks and the deep felt gratitude of all Dams. The Central Committee especially has had cause for re joicing over the lively sympathy thus practically manifested by the English people for Denmark during her present struggle for national honour, freedom, and independence, against the overwhelming power of Germany, for the large contributions sent from Great Britain have tended to miti gate the sufferings entailed by the war, and enabled the Central Committee to carry out promptly and efficiently the whole task it had undertaken, and even to extend its action beyond the limits originally thought of. The Central Com • mittee now indulge the hope that it will be able perma nently to assist the invalids from the war and the families of those who have been slain over and above what the State will do for them.

DEATH OF MR. BOWES, EDITOR OF " GALIG NANI'S MESSENGER."—It is with extreme regret we announce the death of a very old member of the newspaper prose, Mr. Bowes, editor of Galignani's Messenger. During the long period of 40 years Mr. Bowes discharged the edi • torial duties connected with that well-known paper, and the judgment with which those duties were performed is admitted by all who know anything of the matter to have been as nearly perfeot as the nature of such work can ad mit of. The deceased gentleman opened his literary career in connection with the press in the establishment of the Morning Herald, and under the pseudonym of Alfred Dubois, contributed a number of highly successful pieces to the London stage. The warm-hearted and genial nature of Mr. Bowes endeared him to a large circle of friends, who now lament his death. Mr. Bowes died at Paris on Tues day morning of disease of the heart. He had reached the ripe age of 75. e • •r•r ▪ • 'ls :▪ 77 • • ,t,•• ":' ( . 4 \ • ' I , . • • 7-041 . , 4 1 4 4N t ., . . THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1864. A Mail Steamer in a Cyclone. Mr. J. S. Castle, commander of the steamship Candia, has made the following report to the direc. tors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, as to the cyclone in which the steamer was caught on the 29th April : " THE DIRECTORS OF THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. "Aden, May 5. " I regret to have to advise you of my return to this port on the 3d inst., having been compelled to put back, owing to damage received on the 2913. of April, in a heavy cyclone, off Ras Ulloolah, i❑ latitude 12.48, longitude 511.2. " We left this port for Galle on the 27th, and experienced very fine weather, with smooth water, until the morning of the 29th, when it suddenly changed. At two a.m. I was called as usual. It was then beautifully clear and fine, with a light breeze from the northward, and we made all plain sail. At daylight we met with a heavy easterly swell ; the weather then had the appearance of rain ; the barometer remained steady. At nine a.m. the barometer suddenly fell two-tenths. I then gave orders to take is the topgallant sails and double reef the topsails; before that was completed the barome ter had fallen three-tenths more, and the breeze was rapidly increasing. The foretopsail was just reefed when it blew away; hauled the foresail and furled it and secured it with the studding sail gear, &c ; the main and mizen topsails were left on the cap double -reefed ; the carpenter and his mates employed securing tarpaulins, &c. By noon the barometer was down to 2910, and it was blowing furiously ; the main and mizen topsails were blown out of the bolt ropes. "At 6.30, finding that I was running into the centre of a cyclone, I bore the ship to, with her head to the N.N.E., keeping the engines working slowly. By one p.m. we had a most terrific gale, the ship was completely buried to leeward, and taking in tons of water, which washed the tar paulins of the skid gratings, and an immense quan tity of water found its way on to the main deck, and down the fore stoke-hole, &c.; the lee boats were washed away ; the weather quarter boat blew out of the tackles and was lost. The weather life boat was blown inboard altogether, bringing the davits with it. About 3 p.m. the mizenmast head carried away, the maintopmast and foretopgallant mast soon followed, the leeward cathead was washed away, and the anchor washed off the fore castle, but the shank painter held it. We were not able to send any hands forward to secure it, and the following morning we found it had knocked a hole in the bow, but well above the watermark. " At four p.m. the barometer commenced to rise; the ship was then in a fearful plight, the water increasing fast in the stoke-hole and engine•room, ship labouring heavily, all the sails blown out of the gaskets, the deck gear either washed away or smashed, awning booms carried away by the force of wind alone, lee bulwarks gone in many places, lower booms, hencoop, and ladders washed over board. Mr Miller, the chief engineer, reported to me that he could not keep steam up any longer, owing to the quantity of water in the stock-hole. Stopped the engines. About this time Mr Turner, who was engaged in securing the tarpaulins, was washed to leeward, and had his leg broken in two places by a hencoop. Set all hands, passengers included, to pump and bale. "At six p.m. the gale was moderating, and the barometer rapidly rising ; the ship then appeared a complete wreck, the whole of the starboard cabins were full of water, the berths and washstands washed down, and the whole of the baggage de stroyed. From this time it gradually moderated, and the wind veered round to the S.E., and became fine; the pumping and baling was continued until 11 p.m. following day, although at the time we had great difficulty with the pumps, owing to their getting choked with the coal in the bilges. "At 11 p.m. on the 30th got up steam and pro ceeded towards Galls ; the following d at 5 a.m., the engineer reported that he could not keep up steam, owing to the quantity of water in the stoke. hole. I then considered prudent, as both passengers and crew were nearly exhausted, to return to Aden ; turned the ship round accordingly, and set all hands pumping and baling again. " On the morning of the 2d I passed a large num ber of bales floating about and one dead body. Pumping was continued until the 3d, when we arrived at this port about noon. I cannot speak in too high terms of the whole of the officers ; the manner in which they exerted themselves is beyond all praise ; also of the passengers and stewards ; they all worked with a will. Oa the morning of the Ist the passengers formed themselves into sanitary parties, and cleared the main deck of wet bedding and baggage, which was commencing to get offensive. lam sorry to say many of them are heavy losers, as, independent of the baggage in the cabins, a large quantity is damaged in the baggage room. The officers and crew have also lost the greater part of their effects. The cargo, as far as we can see, has escaped damage. " J. S. CASTLE, " Commander steamship Canada." PRICF .4d. STAMPED ....sd. THE DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI, At a general meeting of the Working Men's Garibaldi Committee, held last night at No. 10, Bolt-court, Fleet street, Mr. Weston, in the chair, the following later was read from Mr. Joseph Cowen, jun., of Newcastle, in reply to a request made to him by the secretery to furnish the committee with an exact report of what transpired at the private interview between that gentleman and Gen. GAti baldi, on the 19th April, relative to the departure of the latter from England : "Stella House, Blaydon-on-Tyne, May 18, 1861. "Dear Sir, —I have your letter asking me to report to the Woking Men's Committee the. conversation I had with Gen. Garibaldi on Tuesday evening, April 19th, about the cause of his sudden departure from this country. I fear it would be difficult to do this fully, as the interview on the occasion referred to extended over some time. But upon the only point on which there is any substantial difference be tween the two versions that have been given of the inter view I will report, as nearly as it is possible for me to do, the words that I understand passed between Mr. Gladstone and Garibaldi. Mr. Gladstone said—' If the same kind of demonstrations are repeated in the provinces that have taken place in London, they may damage the effect of your visit and lead to unpleasant complications.' Garibaldi said, ' Then I understand that you wish me to leave.' Mr. Glad stone said ' Yes.' The General said Then I give you my word and I will go.' I said there was a general impression that the request for him to leave came from the Government, and that it was the popular belief that the complications referred to were political. He said he knew that such was the belief that was generally entertained. He thought it was correct that the Government did wish him to leave, and that as they (the Government) had received and treated him with so much kindness he could not remain to be a source of inconvenience. If I have not reported the exact words that were used, I am quite certain I have re ported the sense. He smiled incredulously when I referred to his health as the cause of his unexpected departure, and said that, although fatigued with the fashionable life he had lately been leading, otherwise he was in excellent health— had indeed never been better in his life. Knowing Mr Gladstone to be a leading member of the Government he evidently thought the story about his health had been ori ginated to cover the other, and, in his estimation, stronger reasons for his being requested to leave. He regarded the explanations made in Parliament as diplomatic, and more than once said if he could be relieved from his pledge to go he would stop. I think the committee ought to receive Mr Gladstone's own version of the interview. He says distinctly that he did not speak in the name of the Government when he advised Garibaldi to leave. This declaration ought to be sufficient for allot us. I, at least, accept his word implicitly and without hesitation ; although, at the same time, I am quite sure that Garibaldi derived the impression either from the words or the spirit of the conversation that the request made to him to leave was made for political and not personal reasons,—l eon, dear sir, yours very truly, " JAB. COWEN, Jun. "Mr Robert Hartwell, Hon. Sec. to the Working m e n's Garibaldi Committee, London." Considerable discussion followed the reading of the letter, the general opinion being that it conclusively established the fact that the state of Garibaldi's health was not the cause o his departure. Ultimately the following resolution was adopted : Proposed by Mr CnEMER, seconded by Mr HARRIS— " That this committee, having heard the letter read from Mr Cowen, consider there is some discrepancy between its statements and the explanation of Mr Gladstone, and that in the meantime the secretary be instructed to acknowledge its receipt." An appeal was then ordered to be issued, calling upon the working classes to contribute to the free testimonial now raising for General Garibaldi by the City and Working Men's Committee; and after the transaction of some routine business the committee adjourned. MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT DAVIS, (From the Richmond Whig, Hay 4.) The Message of President Davis, as was to be supposed, considering the short time which has elapsed since the adjournment of the last Congress, is not a very large document. The President, speaking ex cathedra, tells us that he sees I no prospect of an early change in the course heretofore pur- ' sued by those (the European) Governments, In his words, I which are tine enough and forcible enough to commend them to every citizen of the Confederacy, "It is enough for us to know that every avenue of negotiation is closed agairst us; that our enemy is making renewed and strenuous e fforts for our destruction, and that the sole resource for us, as a people secure in the justice of our cause, and holding our liberties to be more precious than all other earthly posses • 1 sions, is to combine and apply every available clerrylit of , power for their defence and preservation." On the subj :et i of the currency, the President refers to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury. We infer that that uttic:.r will ask Congress to relieve him of the power which he supposes to be conferred by the existing law, of issuing currency to the full amount of all received into the Treasury, either by funding or exchange. It is very justly said that the cur rency in circulation, say 230,000,000 dols, on the Ist of July, is ample for the business requirements of the country, and that the addition of 200,000, 000 dols. would be attended by 1 disastrous effects, and would " produce a speedy recurrence I of the evils from which thefunding law has rescued the coun try." We are glad to know that the Secretary takes this view 1 of the subject, and we hope Congress will do something to re- 1 lieve the unfortunate gentleman of the w eight of power which 1 so sorely oppresses him. We are likewise glad to learn that the efficiency of our armies in the field is all that can be de sired—and " that the discipline and instruction of the troops have kept pace with their improvement in material and equipment.'' Various recommendations, contained in the report of the Secretary of War, are recapitulated by the President. Among the subjects referred to are an amend ment of the law depriving officers in the field of the privi lege of purchasing rations ; an increase in the allowance of officers travelling under orders ; provision for invalid officers resigned in consequence of wounds or sickness ; the tenure of office of general officers of the provisional army; the organisation of the general staff of the army, &c. The recapitulation of the recent successes of our army is suffi ciently encouraging, and we cannot, perhaps, do better than quote the paragraph in which it is contained :—" The recent events of the war are highly creditable to our troops, exhibiting energy and vigilance combined with the habitual gallantry which they have taught us to expect on all occa sions. We have been cheered by important and valuable successes in Florida, Northern Mississippi, Western Ten nessee, and Kentucky, Western Louisiana, and Eastern North Carolina, reflecting the highest honour on the skill and conduct of our commanders, and on the incomparable soldiers whom it is their privilege to lead. A naval attack on Mobile was so successfully repulsed at the outer works that the attempt was abandoned, and the nine months siege of Charleston has been practically suspended, leaving the noble city and its fortresses imperishable monuments to the skill and fortitude of its defenders. The armies in Northern Georgia and Northern Virginia pstill oppose with unshaken front a formidable barrier to the progress of the invader ; and our generals, armies, and people are animated by cheerful confidence. There is a passage in the message deserving more than casual notice. He calls attention to the fact that the Congress, under the Provisional Government, hold four sessions, and the first Congress of the permanent Govern ment also held four sessions, and now the second Congress under the permanent Government is assembled at the time an d place appointed by law :—" All these events have passed into history, notwithstanding the threat of our prompt subjugation made three years ago, by a people that presume to assert a title to govern States whose separate and independent sovereignty was recognised by treaty with France and Great Britain in the last century, and remained unquestioned for nearly three generations. Yet these very Governments, in disregard of duty and treaty obligations which bind them to recognise, as independent, Virginia and other Confederate States, persist in countenancing by moral influence, if not in aiding by unfair and partial action, the claim set up by the executive of a foreign Government to exercise despotic sway over the States thus recognised, and treat the invasion of them by their former limited and special agent as though it were the attempt of a sovereign to suppress a rebellion against lawful authority," THE STEAM RAMS.—It is understood that the Birkenhead steam rams intended for the Confede rates have been sold to the British Government. This transaction will extinguish the hopes of thoso who hoped that the approaching trial at bar before the full Court of Exchequer would have the effect of furnishing the ship • owners of this country with an authorative exposition of the Foreign Enlistment Act which might serve as a guide for the future, But, on the other hand, the law officers of the Crown may congratulate themselves that they have got rid of the difficulty and anxiety which seemed to attend their efforts to overcome the subtle devices of Messrs. Laird and other agents of the Confederates to elude the law. Thy purchase-money, we are informed, is £225,000. THE SOUTH WALES CoLuEus.--The m en con tinue to remain in a ver y unsettled state, and show every determinat ion to enforce their dema nd for another rise of wages. In two or threo of the Ab er d are co lli er i es the hauliers have left in a body, and in others the men have determined to strike unless their demand is complied with. The Masters' Association have resolved not to allow the de - wand, and have taken measures to prevent the men who have left their work getting employment in any of the asso ciation collieries. Steps have also been taken to support any master whose men may strike. Altogether at the present time there is a greater probability of a strike than has yet been the case. %~i PROSPECTUS. The object of this association is to promote the develop ment of the resources of Sweden and Norway, by facilitating the application of capital to safe and profitable enterprise, and it is after mature consideration and consultation in Eng land and abroad, with persons interested in the progress of the kingdom of Sweden and Norway, and thoroughly ac quainted with her resources and necessities, that the Di rectors with confidence submit this undertaking to the public as a sound and highly profitable one to its share holders. Such an institUtion as the present is required in no country more than in Sweden and Norway, whose vast forests, illex- Laustible mineral deposits, increasing agriculture and com merce, and rapidly rising manufactures, have for years past 'deraisnded financial facilities, obtainable only by means of dh'ect credit operations. In a letter received from a high authority in Stockholm it is stated that " the opening of the few railways now in use l as given a great impetus to re munera ti ve un d er t a ki ngs, f or hich the esuntry itself has not capital ; and it is not too Much to say that in the next three years many millions ;steel% ' can b readily invested." Six years ago, a Bank, Stotler the title of the "Enskilda (private) Bank," was formed fa Stockhol m , w hi c h i mmed i ately created a large business for itself, and has since continued it with great success ; the annual dividend, reserve included. being between 25 and 30 Per cent. on tne original amount of the shares. _The Directors have taken power to issue the Company's Debentures at: ainst the mortgag s held by the Company, "etlY confining the amount of the Debentures to the am ount invested in mortgages, and a system of registration Will be adopted for the protection of the Debentur, holders. Co nsiderable profit is anticip a t e d f rom thi s b ra , c h o f ope rations, as he funds of the Company c a n th u s b e t urne d over fr equently. From the above sources of profit, the Directors, therefore, confidently anticipate at least as great a success for this Com pany as has invariably attended similar institutions on the Continent, while, in addition to the profit derived from a Merely local business, the English, Swedish, and Continental Financial Company (Limited will add grea ly to its income through the large agency business which takes place between the North of Enrope, England. and various continental cities, of which it will, to a considerable extent, be made the Medium. It cannot be doubted that the influential support given to the Company, both in England and abroad, will secure, immediately, an ample field for safe and lucrative business. The Swedish Loan, lately so successfully negotiated in Lon don, pledged to be devoted entirely to advancing the con struction of railways. will greatly contribute to the profitable enlargement of that field. Several important operations are in course of negotiation In Sweden and elsewhere and awaiting the sstablishment of this Company, the business of which will be conducted by the Directors on the basis adopted by the principal crt dit corn • panics. Besides the arrangements, nearly completed, for the management of the Company's business in Sweden, negotia tions are pending for establishing influential agencies in the principal commercial cities of the Continent, the Mediterra nean, and tne Black Sea. Applications for 'hares must be accompanied by the deposit of xi per share, to be paid o the company's banke , s. Shou d ho allotment be made, the deposit will be returned in full; and if a less number of shares is allotted than is apelied for, the overp us will be used towards the payment on allotment. Prospectuses and forms of applicatisn for shares may be obtained from the bankers, brokers, solicitors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, and the articles of associa tion may be seen at the solicitors of the Company.

He go t p ossession of some oakum, e m f ' t a t s h e e n p g l a a and, being a sailor, soon made a sufficiently good rope for his purpose. With this aid he scaled a wall 24ft. high, and surmounted with chevaux de frise ; besides which he had to leap an outer wall, which was a feat of some danger. Although wearing the prison dress he succeeded in getting off. Telegrams describing the prisoner were at once sent to all the neighbouring stations, and every means adopted for his captttre. The International Dog Show. Yesterday was the first day for the reception of animals entered for competition at the international dog show, to commence to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, at the Agricul tural Hall, Islington, and during the day a considerable number of sporting dogs arrived from various parts of the kingdom, and were placed in the compartments assigned to the respective breeds to which they belong, under the direc tion of Mr Douglas, to whom the general superintendence of the show has been entrusted. The judges will commence their inspection for making their awards at a very early hour on Friday morning, and their judgments will be formed solely upon the merits of the animals, as they will have no other information than the number and class of the speci mens to guide them. An intimation, however, has been made as to the advisability, in order to secure amongst sporting dogs an improvement in condition, that the judges should look to condition as well as point of symmetry, dogs not being fat stock. Amongst the more striking and novel features of the show there will be a perfect pack of black St. Hubert's bloodhounds of the old New Forest breed, of much finer colour and size than those exhibited last year. There is also a remarkable kennel of 16 fox terriers, kept for the pur pose of unearthing:the fox. Some of these possess such ex traordinary courage and perseverance that after being in earth three hours, and the holes half full of water, they have ultimately hauled out the fox. There has also arrived a Rus • sian bloodhound used to secure the boar and wounded deer, a number of kangaroo hounds from Australia, and for the first time a good show of Irish water spaniels, which do duty for our English retrievers, and are becoming very popular in sporting circles. One of these animals, it is stated, would not hesitate at the word of his master to jump from London-bridge into the water. The arrangements are new completed, the kennels for harriers being ranged round the grand orchestra, and the decorations give the whole of the stages and kennels a very light and cheerful appearance. The arcade is now nearly finished, and will be very neatly decorated with plants and flowers, provided by Mr. Williams, of Hornsey. Mr. Rudkin, of the Salutation Tavern, Newgate-street, has been entrusted with the refreshment department for the dog show as well as the horse show in July, and promises to do his duty by the public. It has been determined to throw open the dog show on Saturday evening after 6 o'clock, in order to accommodate the volunteers and persons from the country attending the Hyde Park review. Mr. Joseph Leather, of Liverpool, has presented to the Nstional. Lifeboat Institution £351 3s. to pay the coat of an additional lifeboat for New Brighton, at the mouth of the Mersey. Mr Leather has also decided to replace the institution's boat at Holyhead by a larger and more powerful lifeboat. COMING FROM THE DERBY.—Last evening a pleasure van, belonging to Mr. Howlett, of the Edgware road, was crossing Wandsworth-common from Epsom with a party who had been to witness the race for the Derby. One of the party let fall the lighted end of a cigar among the loose straw at the bottom of the vehicle, which speedily blazed up, set the canvas curtains and awn ng on fire, and for a few minutes filled the van witb flames and smoke. Great difficulty was experienced in getting the women out, as some of their clothes had taken fire. Mrs Howlett and the Misses Liddiard, of Nutford-place, were so severely injured that it is feared they will not survive. /' / /A t , ' 41r .„ ,=';,l (.'J NEW ZEALANA Further papers relating to New Zealand affairs have been printed. The aeries includes despatches .from the Governor of New Zealand ei s to the Con fiscation and Loan Act, with accornpan ying memo randa, and concludes with a long despa,sch from the Secretery of State for the Colonies to S A 'r G. Grey,' dated 26th April, explaining the policy cf Govern ment in reference to these acts. The Colonial Secretary,in doing this, states that the preliminary question of the power of the Colonial Legislature in passing the Act for establishing settlements' in New Zealand is under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown. He then notices numeroree objections, especially to the Confiscation and Settlement Act, as of too sweeping a nature, liable to abase, calcu lated to irritate the natives into further resistance, and prolong, instead of terminate, the war, unless restreinrd by a strong and xc solute band. Her Niejesty'e Government might, for these reasons, have disallowed them, but wee° urea weaken the G)Verrier ' S hands. a cc:n.%!usi o n t o which they had also been led by obeerving that no step in confiecation could be taken sithout his persona concurrence, and by reliance en his sagacity, firm. ness, and experience, and long recognised regard for colonists end natives. They had therefore decided on the following instruc'ione " It is in their opinion very much to be desired that the proposed appropriation of the laud should take the form of a cession imposed by yourself and General Cameron upon the conquered tribes, and made by them to the representatives of the Queen, as a condition on which her Majesty's clemency is extended to them.

" A measure should be at once submitted to the Legislature to limit the duration of the act to a definite period, not exceeding, I think, two years from its original enactment—a period long enough to allow for the necessary inquiries respecting the extent, situation, and justice of the forfeiture, yet short enough to relieve the conquered party from any protracted suspense, end to assure those who have adhered to us that there is no intention of sus pending in their case the ordinary principles of law. " The aggregate extent of the forfeiture should be at once made known, and their exact position as soon as possible. " A commission should be constituted for the special purpose of inquiring what lands may pro perly be forfeited. The members of this commission should not be removable with the Minslry, and should be so chosen as to guarantee a fair and care ful consideration of the matters brought before them. " It should be clearly understood that your own concurrence in any forfeiture is not to be comidered as a mere ministerial act, but that it will be with held unless you are personally satisfied that the confiscation is just and moderate. "And here I must observe, that if in the settle ment of the forfeited districts all the land which is capable of remunerative cultivation should be a ssigned to colonists, and the original owner,, the Maori, be driven back to the forest and morasei, the scene of injustice, combined with the pressu re of want, would coavert the native population info a desperate banditti, taking refuge in the solitudes of of the interior from the pursuit of the police , or military, and descending, when opportunity might occur, into the cultivated plain to destroy the peace ful fruits of industry. I rely on your wisdom. and justice to avert a danger so serious in its bearin g on the interests of the European not less than of the native race. "Turning to that part of the law which authorises the dispossession of persons who have not been in volved in the recent rcht.:llion, I have to observe that although her I\ltiksty's Government aamit with regret that the tribal nature of the native tenure will sometimes render it unavoiC4tble that itn)cout persons should be deprived of their lands, they consider that land sh ould not ho appropriated against the will of owners merely becauee it is in the ;me district with rebel property, and may enaveniently bo usEd for purposes of settle ment, but only in cases where loyd or neutral ncives are unfortunate enough to be joint owners with persons concerned in the rebellion, or because it is absolutely required for some purpose of defence or communication, or on some similar grou&id of necessity. But every such case of supposed neees• city should be examined with the greatest care and admitted with the greatest caution and reserve. " The compensation to be given to persons thus dispossessed is properly by the Act itself made the subject of inquiry in an open court ; but the sth section of the Act ought to be so modified that , dle powers of the court may not be limited in any manner which would prevent its doing complete justice to the claims of every innocent person, or extending reasonable consideration to those whose guilt was of a less heinous character, a class which, in the varying temper of the New Zealand tribes, is probably large. I trust that, in accepting any cession, or authorising confirmation of any forfeiture of land, you will retain in your hands ample power of doing substantial justice to every class of claimant for restitution or compensation. Finally, when you have taken all the powers, and received all the cessions which you think neces sary for the satisfactory pacification of the islands, you will do well to accompany these measures of justice and severity by the announcement of a general amnesty, from which those only should be excepted who have been concerned in the murders of unoffending settlers, or other like offences of a heinous and strictly exceptional character. In order to mark asi much as possible the discriminating character of British justice, the exception from the amnesty should not be couched in general terms, but should recite one by one the specific outrages which remain unpardoned. " Subject to these cautions and conditions, and in full confidence that you will act on the general principles which I have before laid down (and is which I anticipate your cordial concurrence), her Majesty's Government are prepared to leave in your hands the power with which you have been entrusted by the Legislature of the colony." Regarding the loan, the Colonial Secretary ob serves, that of the £3,000,000, £1,0 00 , 000 is alloted to the expenses of the war, £200,000 to repay an. Imperial debt, £200,000 to compensate Taranaki t settlers, and the remainder — the bulk of the loan— in the main to the settlement of the country. Go vernment recognise the colonial w ar expenses as exceptional, and are w illin g to propose to Parlia ment as to cover th e f arther increased colony to the i mper i al Exchequer, and debt promised, of o tl: o extend the guarantee of £ 500,000 already properly payable oat of current revenue. They consider, however, that an I mper i a l guarantee i s not property applicable to the purpose of settling th e colony, and they do not consider the la n d t o b e acquired of such value as materially to add to the security on Which the guarantee of Parliament could be given. The omission of this sum would reduce the loan within narrower limits, and he promises to consider and weiic on a future occasion how fur the New Zatland revenue, pledged by the Act, may justify Government in increasing the proposal they have promis , ..d to make to Parliae went. Ia conclusion, the Colonial Secretary inti mates that at the close of the year, when the pre sent arrangement fur pay meat or a merely numie nal contribution by the colony for war expenses terminates, herMajesty'sGovernment, in guarantee ing a large loan, will require a much more adequate contribution from the colony to the Imperial Exchequer. EXTENSIVE JEWEL ROBBERY.—Yesterday infor mation was received by the police that the house of Mr John Fleming, 15, Upper Hyde Park-gardens, Bays. water, had been plundered of gold watches, diamond rings, brooches, gold chains, and a cabinet of American and Mexi can gold and silver coins. The thieves escaped with their booty, valued at £l,OOO, and though a reward of £l5O is offered for their capture at present they remain at large. "11-4 ;~~ ,u r)i . , ;47 7 R
