Sir—l have the honour to inform you that the forces have had a severe encounter with the natives this day, in which Acting Commander David Robertson was wounded in several places, I fear mortally, and Acting Lieutenant Edward Met'. gan was slightly wounded. Our party consisted of 150 individuals. The whole of the naval and marine forces belonging to the ship behaved in a manner that elicits my warmest approbation. The place could have been maintained had not the block-house, the key to our position, been surprised and taken in the morning. At about ore o'clock the magazine in the stockade was blown up, wounding several person., and the ammunition being com pletely expended, I deemed it advisable to order the inhabi tants and troops to embark. Alany of the land forces have been severely wounded, and some killed, the particulars of which I have not as yet been able to ascertain.

This short but important railway will be the means of placing these two populous and opulent towns in immediate connexion. The great accommodation such a line wi 1 afford, and the peculiar advan tages which its locality possesses, offer most unusual inducements for its formation. Besides affording a direct railway communication between these towns, it will accommodate a large and Increas ing local traffic, comprising the whole agricultural produce of this important district of the county of Kent ; and looking at the general traffic which this line will exclusively command, there is no question that it will afford an ample return on the capital invested. The entire length of the railway will be about 16 miles. Pre liminary surveys have already been made, and the line presents no engineering difficulties, nor are there any works involving great expense. Applications for Shares and Prospectuses to be addressed to S. P. Hook, Esq., Solicitor, 11, Tokenhouse-yard ; Messrs. Sankey and Sladden, Solicitors, Canterbury; or G. T. Thompson, Esq., Solicitor, Dover. NEW ZEALAND. We have just received , by the English whaler, Matilda, New Zealand papers to the 27th March. The following are extracts : I am of opinion that had the lower block.house, occupied by the military, not been erected, the stockade in which the women and ohildren had sought protection, must have been evacuated, as it was perfectly commanded by the bill 011 which the block house stood ; the houses to the !Eft would also have afforded protection to the natives in attacking , it. Great credit is due to Watson, Esq., J. P , who first suggested the erection of the lower block house, and superintended the execution of it. The body of natives who occupied the chain of hills on which the flag-staff and upper block-house stood, might have made a general rush, had they been so inclined, on the stockade, but were prevented from so doing, by our having possession of the block.house.

Sir—l have the honour to state, for your information, that on the morning of the 11th instant, at Kororarika, Bay of Islands, I proceeded about four o'clock in the morning with a party of five men from the block.house, where I was stationed, armed and car rying spades todig a trench on the heights over Oneroa beach. We had just commenced digging when we heard firing at Matavia Bay, we immediately returned, and I remained with eight or nine men on the hill, overlooking the town, about 200 yards' distance from the block.house at the Flag-staff; the remainder of them had got their arms, and were putting on their belts on the outside of the ditch facing the town when suddenly I heard an alarm, and some one called out that the natives were in the inaisades, and that there was no one in the block-house. ( I would here remark that the doorway is inclosed with palisades.) I immediately turned round and saw a number of natives rushing into the palisades and ditches and opening fire op us. I then immediately opened on them, and before a second round could be fired, another party of natives ad.. vanced by the Tapika road, with the intention of cutting us o 0 from the lower block-house. I then was obliged, seeing a large body of natives in front and another close to my rear, to retire to the lower blockhouse, which I immediately occtipied, and checked the further advance of the natives. Four of my men were kilted in the upper block-house, and one wounded in retiring. I remained at the lower block-house till Mr. Polack's house was blown up, and the general retreat to the shipping took place. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, J.

Manchester—Union Bank. Preston—Messrs. Clayton and Co. Richmond—Messrs. Stapleton and Co. Settle and Clitheroe—The Craven Bank. Newcastle-upon-Tyne—The Northumberland and Durham District Bank. The object of this railway is to forms direct line of communication from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the ports of Shields, Middlesborough, Tynemouth, and Sunderland, Seaham Harbour, the rising ports of Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, and the other ports on the north-east coast of England, to the important towns of Clitheroe, Preston, Black burn, Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Chorley, Manchester, and Liverpool, and the other great manufacturing and commercial towns of Lancashire. Commencing at Preston, it will proceed by the Valley of the Ribble to Clitheroe, where it meets with the proposed extension of the llackburn, Darwen, and Bolton line from Blackburn to Clitheroe ; it will thence proceed to Settle and Hawes by the most direct course, and by the Valley of the Ure and the Wensleydale, to the town of Askrigg and Richmond, near which latter place it will form a junc tion with the Great North of England and Newcastle and Darlington Railways, by means of the Richmond Branch of the former Railway. The population of the districts thus placed in direct communication with each other, inpependently of the intermediate population, may be safely considered to amount to 570,000 on the north-east—and, on the south-west, 1,670,000. This line, forming the most direct route from the northern and eastern districts of England, via Fleetwood, to Belfast and the north of Ireland, will greatly facilitate an interchange of commerce be tween the two countries. It effects a saving of upwards of forty miles over the shortest existing route between Newcastle and Liverpool. The immense population at its termini is a sufficient guarantee of the passenger traffic which may be anticipated. The line will also afford the greatest facility tor the transmission of coals from the mines of Durham and Lancashire to the towns and districts between the termini. In this article alone a very large traf fic may undoubtedly be anticipated, the price of coals at Settle and its neighbourhood now varying from 20s. to 225. per ton, while by means of the Railway coals of the best quality may be supplied to Settle and the northern district of the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire in any quantity at from 10s. to 12s. per ton. The want of direct means of communication between the ports in the north of England and the towns of Liverpool, Preston, Fleet wood, and Manchester, has been long felt ; the importance also of a system of easy railway communication around Manchester, extended to a much larger radius than at present is occupied by any lines to wards the north, has been fully explained by the Board of Trade, as affording a greater choice of sites fbr the erection of mills and factories. The important local elements of traffic in slate, lead, ironstone, freestone, and lime, which will be derived from the immediate vici nity of Wensleydale and Swaledale, and the tither great mineral rallies along the line, are sufficiently obvious to all who are acquainted with the district, independent of the traffic in cattle and agricultural produce from Durham, Darlington, Richmond, Settle, and ether grazing districts, which is now very considerable. It is believed that these sources of profit, together with the through traffic already alluded to, will yield a most ample return on the proposed capital. A preliminary survey has been taken of the line, and the sections are nearly completed. The length of the line between Preston and Richmond will be from seventy to seventy-five miles, and no peculiar engineering difficulties exist. The capital determined to be raised has been estimated to be more than sufficient for the comple tion of the works. The liability of each shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par• liament to the amount of his subscription, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Arrangements have been made vrith existing railway companies now in connexion with this undertaking, by which a portion of the capi tal will he required to be reserved for them. Further arrangements are pending with other companies ; the Provisional Committee, therefore, reserve to themselves the right of making such extensions of this project and of increasing the capital for carrying out any smelt extensions as they may consider advantageous, with the view of forming a comprehensive system of railway communication from the northern and eastern coast with Liverpool and Manchester, and the manufaCtnring districts generally. Appllcations for shares must be made to the solicitors, of whom, also, prospectuses may be had, and should be made in the annexed form, accompanied by a reference to some member of the Provisional Committee, one of the Solicitors, or a Banker. Applications from persons locally interested will have a preference. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The Directors of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway Company, having had surveys made of the country between Nuneaton, Bed worth, and Coventry, with the view of giving a direct communica tion between those important districts and Leicester and Birming ham, and having included the same in their Parliamentary Deeds, felt it their duty to oppose before Parliament the project for making a Railway from. Coventry to Bulkington, miscalled " The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Railway." This opposition was completely successful, and the Bill thrown out ; and the Directors of the Leices ter and Birmingham, observing that other parties are now taking up their project between Nuneaton and Coventry, give notice that it is their full inteation to carry out their Direct " Nuneaton, Bedworth, and Coventry Branch," in connexion with their Leicester and Bir mingham line, affording the best and most beneficial route for pas senger and mineral traffic.

LAURENCE, Secretary. 112, Bishopsgate-street, London, July, 1845. THE ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY. The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that they ha7e mccee led in obtaining from His Royal Highness the grand Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant fo.i sixty years, of a railway from Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly advantageous to the Company. This line presents no engineering difficulty, and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the railway already in operation between Leghorn and Pisa, by means of the line now forming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist of 8,000,000 of Tuscan livres, equal to about 265,0001. steriing, one third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected in Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement, by which a call was made of 21. per share, payable on the 21st July Instant. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants for the railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of railway in connexion with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy having found that they could, with great ad vantage to the Share holders, enter upon other" railway undertakings in the Italian arid Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter mined upon doing so, and upon giving to the Shareholders the option of joining these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, tendered for the valuable grant they have now obtained for the railway from Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other places In Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as they arise, he rateably apportioned to those Proprietors who shall pay such calls as shall be made from time to time by the Directors for carrying, ut fully the objects in contemplation. By order of the Board, G. H. 1). LAURENCE, Secretary. Ate-street, July 3, 1845. 112, Ftishoi ITALIAN AND AUSTRIAN RAILWAY COMPANY.

The first one, determined to cut a great dash, In the West-end resided and laid out his cash. The highest•priced tailors alone he employ'd I Short tittle was his finery worn and enjoyed The cost was so high that it emptied his purse, And he soon was left shabby ; oh, what can be worse ? Now his cousin three suits to his one wore meanwhile, Made of far better cloth, and in far better. style ; For all three he was charged what the first paid for one, And he ended well clad in the way he'd begun. He had managed his matters with prudence and skill, Dealt with Samuel, Brothers, Twenty-nine, Ludgate-hill, Men whose System and Capital Cheapness command, And whose Honour and Judgment resound through the land. • ONE NTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLES.—TAILORING, WOOLLEN DRAPERY, and OUTFITTING ESTABLISHMENT, No. 29, Lud gate-hill, SAMUEL, BROTHERS, Proprietors.

SAMUEL, BROTHERS, explain to their patrons the quantity that is necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and charge sepa rately ,for the making and trimming. The peculiar advantages of the system may be practically exemplified as follows :—The average quantity of cloth for a coat is 111 yards: — Suppose the cloth selected to be 12s. per yard, the material would cost 215., our charge would he 20s. for making and trimmings, and thus a first-rate coat, made to measure, and comp'eted in the best style, will be obtained for 41s. ; few, if any, charge less than 50s. or 525. for the same article. The same saving will be effected in every description of clothing. SAMUEL, BROTHERS', charge tbr making and trimming coats for cloths under 10s. per yard is 18s., and for the higher price cloths 20s. Should any article (after it has been paid for) not pleas:, they will exchange it, or return the money without demur. Ladies' Riding Habits made in a very superior manner.

HYAM, Pantechnetheca, 36, Gracechnrch • street, Loudon or Out post fro to al part of the trutted Siugdom (From the Southern Cross ? ) In our last number we gave a brief outline of the insurrection of the natives at the Bay of Islands, of which intelligence had been brought here by the Government. brig Victoria, on Friday, the 14th instant. On Sunday morning her Majesty's ship Hazard, the United States corvette St. Louis, and the English whaler Matilda, arrived from the Bay of Islands, conveying hither all the inhabitants of the town of Kororarika. with such little property that some had been fortunate to save. The unfortunate result may be ascribed to the absence of a commander of the whole forces; one with sufficient martial authority over the naval and military, as well as possessing the confidence of the civiliar.s. It is quite clear that the natives took the inhabitants by surprise and evinced most determined bravery, as well as humanity towards the settlers. They are, it is said, as much astonished as the Europeans at the sequel, the numbers of the two attacking divisions being about 9no. The Europeans, inclusive of sailors and soldiers, lost about 12 killed and 20 wounded. Of the natives, more than 30 were killed in the action, and above 70 wounded, most of them dangerously. Great praise is due to many indi viduals for their bravery and exertions ; and to Mr. Polack in particular, for the surrender of his house and premises for the use and protection of the settlers, their families. and their property. We are happy to hear that Captain Robertson, of her Ma jesty's ship Hazard, is going on favourably; two balls have been extracted, and it is hoped that very soon another, lodged in a more dangerous part, may .undergo similar operation. He is in excellent spirits, and we fervently trust that this gallant young officer may soon be restored to the service, the honour and character of which he has so nobly maintained. On Saturday.last, at the meeting of the Legislative Council, the Governor postponed the regular business of the day, and then communicated the information he had received relative to the circumstances, of which we have given a report in our proceedings of the Legislative Council. - On Monday . the Magistrates held a meeting, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the most proper steps to be adopted in the present emergency. There were present, J. J. Symonds, Thomas Beckham, John Watson, E'qs., police magistrates ; Theophilus Heale, Jer. Nagle, P. D. Hogg, J. Scott, R. A. Fitzgerald, H. Thompson, F. Whitaker, and William Spain, Esqs. ' justices of the peace. The following resolutions were passed:— 1. That in consequence of the recent events at the Bay of Islands, and from information received, they consider it neces sary that all the inhabitants between the ages of eighteen and sixty years be sworn in as special constables, organised and drilled. 2. Thal a Committee of the following Magistrates be formed for the purpose of taking the necessary steps for organising, forming companies, appointing stations for the civic guard ; vie.: Thomas Beckham, J. J. Symonds, J. Scott, F. Whit taker, T. Neale, and H. Thompson, Esqs. ; and that three shall form a quorum. His Excellency the Governor, having approved of these resolutions, the magistrates, on Tuesday, proceeded to swear in the inhabitants as special constables, and they have been divided into three companies; hut as it is con templated to pass a Bill for embodying militia, mere regular concerted operations in such respect will soon be put into practice. The Russell arrived from the Bay of Islands on Thursday, which place she left on Monday morning. By her it is re ported that nine more Europeans have been murdered by the natives since the conflict at Kortirarika, but there are some doubts of the authenticity of this rumour to the extent stated. The Lady Leigh, schooner, arrived from Sydney yesterday morning, and brings the gratifying intelligence that her Ma jesty's ship North Star was to leave Sydney about the 10th inst., with three hundred troops. W would earnestly impress on the minds of all the urgent prudence of being circumspect and forbearing towards the natives. The most trifling incident —and quite unintentional—may lead to most serious consequences. For other most important reasons, would we urge avoidance of the least tendency to affront, or injustice even in jest. How useful and auxiliary the natives are in the supply of food to the settlers here is well known, and now that the population of Auckland has received such increase from all quarters, they are still more dependent on them, and it cannot be denied that very much is in the power of the natives in this respect, exclu sive of any hostile intentions. Of all the evils of civil war, famine is the most appalling and most destructive. However, there is an important circumstance, to which we would call the attention of Government, which is, that on Thursday night there were tome - hundreds of natives, compa ratively strangers, in the town of Auckland and neighbour hood, some of whom had arms concealed. It is obvious the town might be fired in various places in the dead of night, as there are here many evil disposed Europeans as well as na tives. There should be a Wakarongo issued immediately, or dering all natives out of the town beyond a certain distance be fore sunset, end there should be night patroles or picquets on hills close around the town. Since the above was written, we have been favoured with the dispatches regarding the attack on Kororarika by the natives, which we publish as affording more detailed information on that disastrous affair : Her Majesty's ship Hazard, March 15,1845. Sir,—l hare the honour to report that between the hours of four and five o'clock on the morning of the 11 th instant, Capt. Roberta!' of her Majesty's ship Hazard, with about 45 seamen and marines, proceeded from. their quarters on shore. for the night, at Kororarika, Bay of Islands, to a hill on the right of the road leading to Natalia Bay, commanding the town, for the pur pose of throwing NC an' entrenchment; the morning was thick and hazy. On their departure I proceeded to the barracks to turn out the detachment, by way of precaution, not having at the same time any reason to suspect a movement on the part of the natives towards the town. Captain Robertson had arrived on the hill, when they were attacked by about 200 natives. The detachment, having slept armed and accoutred, arms loaded, formed immediately in front of the barracks, when Mr. Mowbroy and Mr. Spain, R.N., came to me, and begged of me not to fire on the party in front, which I was about to do, as they had cut off from their party, and then knew not which, the seamen or the natives, were nearest to us. I then immediately commenced firing in extended order on parties of natives who made their appearance, scattered on the hill to the left of the barracks towards Onoro beach, and checked their advance on the barracks; we were also fired upon from the rising ground behind the barracks. On looking round, I was first aware that the natives had possession of the block-house on Flag- staff hill. At the time I received a message from Lieutenant Morgan, R.N, informing me that a party of natives were at the church,. at the back of the town; I advanced in extended order to dislodge them, firing in our wa , y upon natives who appeared amongst the houses in our front. I then learnt, I forget from whom, that the seamen had nearly expended their ammunition, and turned back towards the beach to join them, when they appeared at some distance from the beach, as on their way to the stockade ( Mr. Polack's house), advancing towards us, having effec. tually driven back the natives, who I observed retiring down the road to Matavia Bay, I then moved on to the lower block-house, which commands the stockade, which the seamen soon took possa.don of, and in which were the town's people and women and children. z A...rid Ensign Campbell and his party in the block-house, checking the ao—nce of the body of natives who were in possession of Flagstaff.hill and "na gullies be tween the upper and lower block-houses. I did not enter the tnv...k. house then or afterwards. I remained outside on a platform In front, where the seamen from the Hazard were working two ship guns, assisted by Hector, Esq., and two of the town's people (old soldiers, I believe). My party commenced firing. There was room for no more on the platform. They fired from the sloping ground on each side of the block-house towards the rear of the building, also on the natives on the ad joining hill, behind Mr. Beckham's house; this hill is deeply co. vered with brushwood. A very sharp fire was kept up by the na. Lives, and was well and effectually returned by us ; this continued all the morning, two or three of the seamen joined us ; a party of my detachment also assisted Mr. Campbell in the block-house, as many as had room ; the remainder were in the stockade with the seamen and town's people, commanded by Lieut. Phillpotts. ft .N. After a considerable time I went down to the stockade to get some ammun'tion for the ship-guns, and . left Ensign Campbell in charge. 'I !hr natives soon after ceased firing, nor was it after wards renewed, it had i..tpd for some hours. Immediately after the first attack on Captain Robertson's party, in the morning, the natives on that aide of the town retired in a body from the town towards Matavia Bay, carrying off their dead and wounded. The body of naives who had surprised and taken the block-house en Flag-staff hill, were the assailants of the lower blockhouse, held by the military; the stockade (Mr. Polack's house) was at no time attacked or threatened, the lower block house commanded it, and prevented such an attempt. A party of seven or eight of the town's people from the stockade skirmished with the natives on the hill to the left of the block.house; with the exception of this, the force in the stockade WAS not engaged during the day since the attack in which Captain Robertson was wounded at day.break. •'' _ . Immediately on my arrival at the stockade to obtain ammunition, I suggested to Captain Robertson the urgent necessity of sending the women and children on board the ships in the harbour, seeing Mr. Polack's house and cellars were crowded with them : shortly after they got on board, the magazine, which was in the same house, blew up; the building was completely destroyed; none of the soldiers or seamen were injured; Lieut. Morgan, R.N., received a slight wound in the face from a splinter. Whether the explosion occurred by accident or was the work of an incendiary remains unknown. A council was held on board her Majesty's ship Hazard, when it was agreed to evacuate the town, which was done, the town's people embarking first; the party of military in the block-house were the last to embark. During the embarkation the natives sur rounded the heights commanding the town, but without making any movement ; occasionally a random shot was fired ; during the evening a few of the town's-people who were, I believe, most popu lar with the natives, were employed in bringing off portions of their property. In the afternoon of the following day the natives burnt the town, with the exception of the churches and the houses of the intb.tunaries ; information was received that they intended attacking H. M. S. Hazard doting the night r ovary preparation was Ite. cordingly made by Lieut. Philpotts, commanding ; the attack was not made. Next day the Hazard sailed for Auckland, in company with the United States corvette St. Louis, the whale ship Matilda, and the Dolphin schooner, having on board the inhabitants of the town. • ' _ . Killed of the 96th Regt., at the block-house, Flag-staff-hill, four privates, viz.—Miller, Giddens, Jackson, and Juson. Wounded—Private Durop, at the lower block-house, dan gerously; private Welton, in the town, severely; private Gut ludge, severely; private Scott, severely; private Morris, severely. The conduct of the soldiers of the regiment throughout the affair was in every respect praiseworthy and honourable to them selves and the regiment. It is with feelings of deep regret I have to report tliat the Gal lant Commander of: her Majesty's ship Hazard fell in the first at tack, severely wounded. The sergeant of Marines, a private, and four seamen, were killed. Mr. Tapper, the signal man, severely wounded, fig y. I would here notice the very gallant conduct of— Its tor, Esq., and the two old soldiers before mentioned, in assisting in working the guns in front of the lower hlock.house, yet but little execution was done by them, in consequence of the natives being so scattered, and lying concealed in the brushwood. Dlr. Hector' s two boys UNITED STATES CORVETTE ST. LOUIS. On the arrival of the United States Corvette St. Lou's, at the Bay of Islands, a rumour prevailed that Captain M'Keever, her commander, had offered the services of 150 of her men, in assisting the British force to defend the tewn of Kororarika and its inhabitants. When the attack commenced by the natives. and application was made to him for aid, he declined rendering it. The circumstance gave rise to many unfounded rumours and statements, affecting the conduct of the Americans ; but the following excellent letter, addressed to Captain M'Keever by Lieutenant Phillpotts, acting in com mand of H.M. S. Hazard, states the real facts, and we doubt not that it will remove any unfavourable, unjust impression that may have been hastily and erroneously formed, while at the same time it must excite universal admiration for the generous sympathy that was evinced, and kind prompt asistance rendered, by Captain M'Keever on that disastrously memorable day. H.M.S. Hazard, Auckland, March 17, 1845. Sir,—l cannot allow the St. Louis to quit this harbour without returning you the most sincere thanks of our officers and ship's company for the assistance you rendered us in taking off the sick and wounded from the beach at Russell ( Korora rika), on the 11th inst., whilst expo.ed to a heavy fire from the Maories, and also for the general attention you have evinced towards us. I must further offer you my personal thanks for having relieved me of the responsibility of bringing here one hun dred and fifty inhabitants of Kororarika. Before concluding this letter I feel bound to allude to a statement which has gone abroad. of your having declined rendering me as4stance when requested to do so. At the time I applied to you for aid, I was under the impression that you had promised to land one hundred and fifty men, should we be hard pressed. That im pression was formed mere) from what I had casually heard in the stockade and on the beach.; had I had time to weigh the matter maturely, I should have perceived the impossibility of your acceding to my solicitation, as it was clearly contrary to the principles of international law.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, GEORGE PHILLPOTTS, Lieutenant in Command during Commander's illness. To Captain M'Keever, U. S.S. " St. Louis," Auckland. (From the Auckland Chronicle.) By the Aurora, from Sydney, Feb. 25, we have received papers three days later than those already announced. We see nothing of importance to call for our especial notice this week. The troops had not embarked at the tim e the Aurora sailed,'as stated by the Times of Tuesday last. We have little doubt, however, that before our next publication the troops will have arrived. The Autos a touched at the Bay, but the Captain had to set sail immediately as the natives manifested an intention to attack the vessel. SERIOUS AFFRAY AT THE BAY OF ISLANDS. We deeply regret to say that the long expected collision be tween the Europeans and the natives took place on Tuesday, the 11th instant, at the Bay of Islands; in another column we give full particulars. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Robertson, of her Majesty's sloop of war the Hazard, his officers and men, for their most gallant conduct; with un feigned sorrow we add that Captain Robertson was severely wounded while defending with undaunted bravery a dan gerous pass, having only 25 sailors and five marines to oppwe a force of 300 natives (whom he kept in check suffi ciently long to enable the inhabitants of the Bay to reach the ships in safety.) The Block-house which Mr. Philpot's de scribed in his dispatch as the key of the position of the Euro peans, was, by a most extraordinary species of conduct deserted by Mr. Campbell of the 96th Regiment, the officer having the charge of it, who, together with seventeen out of the twenty men left to protect this mo.t important point, proceeded to some other part of the place. It is scarcely possible to reprehend with sufficient severity misconduct so unmilitary ; all the la mentable disasters at the Bay may be said to have arisen from this c gr ir o a s t s im d s e t r a e n l l a c r t a i o n sh o o f u d l d u duty. He h l e o u l e g f h t t h t i o have s post. knownlti ssaidthat u t h n a de rno tsir. Campbell hearing firing considered it his duty to proceed in the direction of it. hut as an officer he might readily perceive the extreme danger of such a course. We dare say Mr. Campbell is a bravo man, but it was unpardonable to give so young an officer so important a trust. Of Lieut. Barclay we say nothing ; it is, however, reported, but we trust without any foundation, that both he and Mr. Campbell were in civilians' clothing, we however do not believe this possible. One block-house hiving been taken by the natives, and the other blown up, the position occupied by the marines and sailors being no longer tenable, they returned to the Hazard. We cannot avoid feeling that if the bmvery of the Hazard's officers and people had had the assistance of the gallant Maier Bunbury and his officers, a diffe rent result would have ensued. . The melancholy destruction of the town of Kororarika, the oldest settlement in New Zealand. by the natives, fully bears out our predictions as to the result of the policy which has been practised towards the natives ever since the British Gov srn ment took possession of these islands. We must, however, acknowledge the Governor has been placed in a very awkward situation, without any power to uphold the dignity and su premacy of British law, he has been compelled to resort to the mischievous temporising expedients of protectors, backed up with divers threats and promises, mingled with a few compli ment. and presents. But while we make every allowance for the weakness or she Government, we do certaitly think the Go vernor was wrong Jer the partiality he has ever shown to the one-sided and biassed opinions of the missionaries and protec tors.; while the old settlers ( who,, commercial intercourse with the natives must necessarily have given them a more correct idea of their real character) have never been consulted, or at least their opinions have been treated with contempt. His Ex cellency's speech at the opening of the Council this session, be trayed his profound ignorance of the native character ; subsequent events have in some degree no doubt tended to change his views on the subject, but prejudices are not easily removed, and if his Excellency returns to the corrupted source of information with, which he has hitherto been supplied, good bye to New Zea land ;if we escape with our lives it will be a wonder. The opinions of the arch-traitor Williams, served up in the garb of sanctity. and echoed by the sycophantic multitude of sub-pro tectors, have constituted the only source of information con sidered worthy of notice by the Governer—but we trust there is now an end of this nonsense. We hope a strict inquiry will be made into the conduct of the Rev. H. Williams, the false Prophet who cried Peace, peace, when there was no peace." It is not a little remarkable that this reverend impos• for publicly declared upon Kororarika lyach that there was no danger only the night before the attack, and derided the in habitants for packing up and shipping their goods; this wily deceiver having at that time taken care to ship all his own goods off, which are now safely landed, with Mr. Kemp's, the Protector's, at Mr. Grahame's stare; while the deluded in habitants, misled by his perfidious advice, have lost every article they possessed. Does not this speak volumes? THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL The Council Chamber was crowdedon gatitciiy last by a great number of the inhabitants of Auckland and the settlers in its vicinity, to hear what his Excellency might say upon the very disastrous occurrences at the flay of Islands. After postponing the order of the day for the further con sideration of the estimates, his Excellency proceeded to detail the unfortdnate results of the engagement of the Hazard's people with the natives. In the course of which he dwelt with great truth and feeling upon our present defenceless position. His Excellency also read several portions of his dispatches to Lord Stanley, repeatedly urging in the strongest manner the absolute necessity of at least a regiment of troops and two war steamers being at once sent out by the Home Govern ment for the protection of the European interests here, and further impressing upon his Lordship's attention the dan gerous consequences which the delay in sending them out would in all probability occasion in the colony. We feel assured that our fellow-colonists are thankful to his Ex cellency for his energetic and prompt representation to theilome Government of our perilous, and unprotected con dition. The Governors' long silence upon this miost im portant matter, has often led us, and the public, to believe that be was not fully alive to the danger of our position. We are, however, most happy to find we were mistaken on that point ; we only now sincerely trust that his Excellency does not place too much confidence in the statement of the /w i ves, as to their pacific intentions, for he may depend upon it they are not to be trusted. CONFLICT WITH THE NATIVES AT THE BAY OF ISLANDS—SEVERAL LIVES LOST. We have endeavoured, but iu vain, to collect a correct re port of the late outbreak at the Bay of Island s ; but, each party ice have applied to gives us a different version on sime impor tant point; we shall consent ourselves this publication by giving the official report of the proceedings. The number of Europeans killed was 13 and IS wounded; on the part of the natives there were from 40 to 50 killed and a large number wounded. Russell, Marcb 11, 1845. On board her Majesty's ship Hazard, 5 P.M. Sir,—T have the honour to inform your Excellency, that about font -o'clock this morning the town was attacked on all sides, by a party of about armed natives. The smell-aim men and twines of her MaJeetn ship Ruud, MILITARY FLOGGING. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT. Witinsou, SUNDAY.—TWO privates in the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, stationed at Windsor, were flogged yester• day afternoon, in the Barrack-square, for a breach of military discipline, in having refused to be taken to the black-hole, ac cording to the orders of the officer in command of the regiment, Colonel Brinckman, in the absence of Colonel C. Bentinck, who is now on leave. The names of the private , , who are both stated to be exceedingly steady, and generally well conducted men, are Henry Seyman and William Lawrin. The circumstances connected with the punishment of these two men (which has caused the greatest excitement throughout the regiment) are as follow —On Friday last a whole com pany, consisting of between sixty and seventy men, were ordered into their room for the purpose of being in speeted by Dr. Greatorex, the surgeon of the bat, talion, similar inspections of two other companies having respectively taken place on the 25th of June and the 3d of this month. The men were all ordered to strip them selves and to appear in a state of perfect nudity, for the purpose of being examined by the surgeon. Seyman and Lawrin both objected to undergoing such an exposure publicly amongst sixty or seventy other men, and took the liberty of remonstrating with Dr..Greatoreic on the great indelicacy of such a proceed. ing, a plan which had never been resorted to before, as we have been informed, by a person who has been in the regiment for upwards of twenty years. The two men positively refusing to strip in the mariner directed by the surgeon, they were imme diately ordered to be placed under arrest, and to be taken before the commanding officer the next (yesterday) morning, when upon the facts being stated to Colonel Brinckman, they were ordered to be taken to the black-hole, there to remain for twenty-four hours. The men refused to obey the order of their commanding officer, alleging that they had no right to he called upon by the surgeon to strip themselves naked along with 60 or 70 of their comrades, and thus indecently expose themselves; and that they did not consider , f or this refusal, the y ha committed any offence. A court-martial was instantly con ' vend, before which Seyman and Lawrin were charged with a breach of military discipline, in having refused to go to the black-hole when ordered. They were found guilty, and each sentenced to receive one hundred lashes. The " triangles " were immediately brought into the Barrack-square, and placed in front of the guard-room ; the few who were in the barracks at the time being drawn up on the parade to witness the in fliction of the punishment, and the barrack-gates closed to pre vent the admission of the public. Several of their comrades, who were outside the gates, mere refused admission by the ser geant of the guard, until the flogging was over. The men received their punishment with great fortitude, notwithstanding their sufferings were most severe, ,the blood trickling down their backs in streams, after the first 15 or '2O lashes. The comrades, who were drawn up in the square, looked on in sullen silence. The moment they were dismissed they gave vent to one loud simultaneous hiss. A hackney . fly, which had been sent for, in the meantime, and which was in waiting out side, then entered the Barrack-alnare ; and the two men, with their costs loosely thrown over their backs, were driven to the Infantry hospital at Spital, followed by Dr. Greaterex, where the usual medical treatment for their recovery was resorted to. It is stated that Dr. Monro, the assistant-surgeon to the bat talion, declined to undertake the duty of inspecting the men in their barrack-room, in the , manner described, and that there fore it was performed by Dr. Greatorex. Great excitement and discontent prevails throughout the whole of the men corn vising the second battalion, who do not hesitate to declare that they consider the sentence, under all the circumstances connected with the case, especially with reference to the haste in which it was carried into execution immediately upon the breaking up ofs the court-martial, to be excessively severe, if not unjefit. The' men were tried;' sentenced„ punishedot:tid taken to the hospital, all within two hours and a half. MURDER OF MR. PALMER AND EIGHT SEAMEN OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP WASP. On the prisoners being committed on Friday, they appeared no way surprised at the result of the investigation,,but rather fprroempagrerdeaftordeitb.ilityS,eravnad, wasthe o c b a l p ig ta e i of dn to be ehacEcoomhoo,loidsastueing ed ff w r itb a bed in court. He is labouring under a dreadful skin disease, the result of bad air and confinement. He exhibits a reckless. ness and abandonment of manner, as though expectant of the consequence of his diabolical crime. The cowardly Spaniard Majarval, who stabbed the unfortunate young officer Mr. Palmer, is less desperate in appearance than some of the others. He is understood to be a native of Barcelona, and, to use the words of a Spanish captain to whom he is known, is " of a good house.' Serva kept a large establishment at Rio de Janeiro. The prisoners have been removed to Exeter, where the assizes commence on Saturday. It is not probable that the case will be traversed. The evidence against the prisoners, as regards the actual committal of the horrid crime alleged against them, is most conclusive, the severest cross-examina tion of the approvers (who cannot in any way be considered accomplices) was unable in the least to shake their testi mony givedin the examination in chief, aa.d each afforded the strongest corroboration of the truth of the oti:er's statements• Under these circumstances the main line of defence, it is underood, will be very different from that first attempted. The question of the illegality of the capture by the British, and the justification of the act of the prisoners, as under the protection of the Brazilian power, will be raised. It is said the arguments of counsel for the defence upon this point will, under all the circumstances of the case, be . 'pore strongly grounded than might at first be imagined, and ihe ability of the gentleman who has been employed by the Spanish and Portuguese Consuls at this port is a guarantee that he will make the most of the position he has advisedly taken. Even apart from the atrocity of the dreadful murders, the nationality of the point which will be raised and decided will invest the trial with unusual interest.. During the latter part of the examination of the prisoners before the justices an episode occurred of rather an interesting cha racter. One of the men who was on the raft with Lieut. Wil son, named George Steer, in answer to several questions put by the bench and Mr. Eastlake, the Crown solicitor, stated that he caught the shark upon which they had subsisted during the twenty days they were on the raft. He held his hand in the water with a piece of salted pork until he saw a shark approach. A Krooman most dexterously cut his tail off immediately it ap. proached the surface to prevent its sweeping the men off the raft, which it no doubt would otherwise have done, and then ropes were fastened round it instantly, and they made a hearty meal off its sides, the " best slices" being speedily in requisition. The shark must have weighed from two to three cwt. Five of the men died from exhaustion and thirst, and the preservation of the others was most miraculous, momen tarily threatened as they were with the breaking asunder of the raft.
