yew, Or, Miller)? Ile was sure that no one would think that he b . a.ighe l e eward till- motion in any party spirit. He was ind , ed scrry that a melancholy event had deprived him of the - Its-i , t , nce of many who weithl have rendered him great service, mare erreielly his .1‘4 , -hle Friend ( Lord Howick) of whose presence a recent melancholy event had deprived them for ever. Li the recent division he had had the sueport of many Hon. Gentlemen on the opposite side, and he would have had more hut :hat assurances had been rested upon which were deemed satisfautory. He b lieved that in such a question as this there were, gentlemen opposite who would Lot allow party feeling to operate, and he called upon them not to sacrifice an important color y m-rely for the purpose of bolstering up the policy of any Minister vs hatever.—( Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gen tleman concluded by moving that this House regards with regret and apprehension the state of affairs in New Zealand ; and that those feelings are greatly aggravated by the want of any sufficieet evidence of a change in the policy which has led to such dis-serous results. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid s t Coto ineed cheering. Mr. WAR') se c onded the motiens Mr. G. . HOPE -al .he would first address himself, in rep'ying to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, to the personal matter contained in this question. He felt now, as on for mer occasions, that f ord Stanley had, from the beginning to the end ot this matter, been much aspersed. The first charge brought against his Noble Friend (Lord Stanley) by the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. C. Buller) was, that of nct submitting the instructions to the New Zealand Company which had been dispatched to the colony on the 7th of June. In reply to this he might say that the minutes on which the instructions to the colony were based had been submitted to a private in tog of gentlemen connectel with the Company, and they were ag - eed to by them. The dispatches were founded on se minue-s, and the charge ot bad faith in reference to this matter a , therefore entirely unfounded. Nothing was kept bark r h-ld private from the deputation of gentlemen who had applied to the Colonial-office for information on the subject. This explieation he deemed quite satistactory, and he should be step. iscei it any member of the deputation could be found wh-;tv..uid tit try the statement of what took plate. There was oiie Geetlemari present, who was a member of that deputa tion and who would much astenish him (Mr. Hope) if he denied the truth of this.—( Hear, hear.) He had now dia. posA ot this. one of the greatest charges against his Noble Friend. Arid what did these deputations, of which so much was said, advise? They advised that a kind and cordial spirit shiSuld be manifested in all transactions with the natives, con sistent witt the interests of the colony. The Hon. Member here read an extract from the instructions to Captain Fitzroy, to ih street the t there should be, as tar as practicable, an aniteahl settlement if all points pending between the natives and the New Z -eland Company, and that he (the Governor) should p, event anything like exorbitant demands, either on the ?art of the Company or the native chiefs. There had been no deceit. therefore, minia-sted here. Mr. C. BU' LEli—l did not say deceit. I said we had been keiit in the (tat k.

He could further point to th, instructkns given to the Company by the Government, showing that there had been a desire to meet the bona fide claims ot tha Company, as tar as it was consistent with the ebli pa' tars and honour of the country. The Hon. and Learned Member only read a l o-tion of the instructions to the House, to whicit he ..fijeeted. He did not read that which referred to what he (Mr. Hope) had just adduced. He ould, the , chore, read that portion of the instructions ta show the H. use that they bore out the construction he had put upon them. The Hon. Gentleman read a passage from the instructions recommending that it was necessary that effec tual saes„ saould be taken to settle amicably the claims of the Conant con-iftently with the rights of the natives.—( Hear.) Before chose instructions were dispatched to the colony a depu taton vs,-iteil upon his Noble Friend, and he (Lord Stanley) ma ,e no l , esltation its communicating the nature of the dis pa.ch. Yet he was charged with keeping back information—a charg-- wh , e,h he must say was most unjust.—( Hear, hear.) Complaint bad been made by the Company on an award being recommended that its acceptance would place them in a worse position :han otherwise, with regard to the natives. In 1843 this was the course resolved on. It was then iu instructions sent cut to Capt. Fi zroy, stated that he should co-operate with the ag , nrs rif the l ompany in arranging with the natives about the ,alt of lands. In accordance with those instructions Capt. Sta nes was appointed as Commissioner; and he would reat a ',moon of a dispatch of the 19th of July, on the result of this appointment. The extract read by the Hon. Member was to the eff-et that in every arrangement about the lands with th e natives, the Company in every case in which there was any &m i lt about title should have sufficient compensation for all improvements that had been effected.—( Hear, hear.) The Comm.ssioners acted in the spirit ot this instruc tion, ;tint prr,ce ederi to award fairly between the natives anti the Company. the Gee rnment considering that this was the course he-t calculited to settle these unfortunate differences. The 11m,. a i m Learned Member in describing the state of the colony, epee, al entirely from a letter of Mr. Cowley, but had not referr d to other imp rtant letters and communications that had reached this country. He had not referred to the )(eters of L'oyo's agents and others, who had at least equal means of iiiiorinttion. He had limited himself to the corn municat;ii. o one min, in order to thaw a frightful picture.— ( Hear, hear.) A. ri what he had read was more calculated to show the character ot the s.ttlers in the north and north-west ot the coloicy, than to prove that there was any great danger. Sailors and the you , hs that had been sent out from Parkhurst Pe nitent iary had been represented as exciting disorder in the colony, stateineets he believed there was no little exagge ra i i t• at has been said about the subordination of these employed to excite sympathy, and to spread alarm a , .:. ,;; tit. at tie colony. These youths from Park hu :if r titch cmapliint had been made. Lad been placed in the pen eent la y .n order to reclaim them from their bad habit's; and th , y were seat nut ther , , as it was not censidered safe to turn them out loose here, :n order to give them a chance of escaping bid habits. l'har very day his Noble Friend hail received dis p a role. inn Au..klAnd, dattd the 25th, and stating , hat disaf fec6 ti rily e a „ wird toa portion of the tribes, aid that there was =.t: (ig hope Olaf . all the d:fficuities would pass over without ar y :ruinotions. - A letter h i.t also been received which stated that. 'trice the las , instructions from the colony the North Star ha:i arrived with 1r O men. which arrival had done much to calm the min s of the settlers, and that the news from the disiu.b: d ttiori,ts represented matters as much quieter than they were. This dispatch was from no agent of the Govern- m. , nt, bit novo a gentlen.an who stated in a very independent ma-ner wi a he saw. But the Hon. and Learned Member sat ; nis I ,t• -te from New Zealand is of the 28th; now tc ( Mr. Hope) had ittf rmatinn a day later. In a news pale r, puiikhed there on the 29th, which he had received, it was •tated that the `Zie hoops had arrived in the North Star sty arelack t, at conlanie. , by six field pieces; that the forts had le on plaecd in a proper state of defence ; that block-houses had been erected, and every .tep taken to plate the settlement in a proper w ate of defence. —( Hear, hear.) It was further stated that there was an improved feeling of security in the eelony, and t'at the natives had made nu further opposition. He wonld sate this to the House, in opposi ion to Mr. Car snaek', , tatement; which had been adduced by the Hon. and Learned Member. But it was said that, in furthering and pro tee lig tit. itre ears of Auekland they had neglected Wellington. Tliii was not true, for assoon as the troops arrived from Sydney a portion we, e itn nediately .etit off to Wellnvon, in order to pro ret he interests of that settlement. It was not right, therefore, to chat - ge the Government with culpable neglect. The Hint. and Leo-fled GeAlems.n complained of the military fore • placed at the dapo-al of New Zealand. Why, when the Noble Lord the Member for the City of London was at the head of the Colonial Department, and application was made to him fur a mni'ary force for the colony, a hundred men was the total force allowed them; and when the colonists complained that the force was too little, they were told they could be sup plied wi h no more. Lord J. RUSSELL—At that time. Mr. HOPE The military force had since averaged from 150 to 2 0 men. The available force in the Australian colo nies nitoge.her had tormerly been 1,60. In 1843. it was 2,400 ; and now there would be an available force of 4,000 men ; that was. whenever the regiments on their progress from India and this country had arrived there. This, he believed, was a competent force t, maintain the authority of the Queen . _ in th.t coli:ny ; and to defend the settlers in the islinds from . • the at! aeks of the natives. Th tre was, however, no proof that any conteileration of the natives would take place—that they tvoutii uu e ag or st the settlers and require any great demo. stration of military power. The native tribes had never yet united, nor, in his opinion, would they do so, uniess steno thing, was done to give them strong cause to com bine their interests and sympathies in a co m bi ne d s y s t em . Thi s brought him to the point that the acts of the natives had re sulted from the policy of the Government; that the disaffec tion in the colony was to attributed to this al roe. The Hon. and Le ; rod Gentleman had quoted Mr. Busby in support of this opinit,n, and yet that g entleman. in another portion of this statement, attributed the difficulties which had arisen to the disp , sHon f the naitves to deny the stivere-Tnty of this country, and to overthrow the authority •of her Arajesty. It was said that Ca-tain Ft z , -oy had been nut-ported by his Noble Friend, nui-h ; i s no Go.rrilor -.ay ever supported. Now he wanted to know he au• hori v for such a statement. This was not the case. So far front its being so, he had been called into question on many material points. On his financial prone« dings, in the sale of lawfs, is tht raising of the 'militia, in the expenses of his Go vernment, and in forming laws by his mulled in a hurried and unta..kactory manner,—on all th,..e points he had been called in que!•tio.i. ith regard to Mr. Shoulbread, his secretary, to whom, ref,•reriee had been made, he had, no doubt, been charged with malver , ation in hi- .411ce ; but he was bound to state that u;.on air env s ,, gation .akii.g place there were no ground For the e:.arg... ‘lr. shoulhread resign4.d his office, is Captain Fitzro had (x ! ressed himsulf that he had no confidence in him, e he ( )must say he saw no reason whatever gentle m for 'Lis ur e. It was hard thit a's prospects in life a oin d he ruined upon a mere suspcion, which ras, not n truth. an.l he had recently been apPoiLed ou t r o the G vet ttor.bili in the West Indies. The able at L e aroed Member next complained of the place tie tat ha.' b.-en fixed. In answer to that he might refe, t., rut! ins .cut out by the Noble Lord the Member for of London (Lori John Ituvvell) to Captain Hob -500 fl wa., in trusted to fix the capital in the te(r:.,r nt-i: , g ire G v erntoent, and not in that of the Hon. Aleiober then re,d an extract train the ins, ocricos iu qeration to that effect. It was clear, therefore, that Captain Hobson win out with instructions to fix the cai.oitl in Government laud. Auckland was in consequence d. and he was bound to sail it was the best that could be selected fir the p tp soy of trade and commerce. To abandon that, as had been pr peed, would have been, in his opinion, a moat fatal and ru rc.us course. The municipal institutions had so been ri ferreil to, and complaints had been i m f a l d2 ,xlard itl . at were not assimilated to those was never intended. The municipal dis tricts were tra c t s , J t country mapped out for the purposes of colonial Gover nmen t and had no analogy to such institutions as those that went by 'he referred name in England. The Hon. Gentleman then, bri.V to the charge against the Government of =posh g tax whi&, had been the Company's settlers, analjti,!ified the e i ntaken is that matt er by re i ere nee to what had b• e n n done leyed had bee n f u lly Canada under similar eircurnsoances. Thi:‘, howeve r , h e co lot: met 11l the previous M bate, with ou t his going furth er i n t o t h e objection at present , It had been shown towards ththat the been no breach o f hon e st y and good by fs thethere had c olony or the ;few Ze.d and Company Government. There will one other tnoter, to which th e H on . and Learned Member referred, and on wl ich the Hon. Member for j Lam beth s.eeni to lay considerable emphasis on a previous e occa sion—ate meant the vote g iven b y himself (Mr. Hope) th; 4 :onitnittee of 1t340 The question, as it seemed to have some importaii ,„ att , e bed to it, he should be happy to refer to. It was. whether it was a wi,e cour.e to recognise the indepen. den e of New Zealand ? and he was of the same opinion now, f o r he thought it a most unwise course, But now the Hon. Gentleman turned round, and , aid, yin are inconsistent, you supported LA, indepet.dence of New Zealand then, and why turn round now, and advocate a different poiiey ? He could only repeat, that he was still of the same opinion, but that independence having been acknowledged, it would now bit•still snore unwise to adopt a different system. He now came to the conclosion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's address, and what the Hon. and Learned Member diitingui , hed as "ring dropping." Those words might be used in a very ext.oided rise—( Lat.ghter )—and he believed that the Hon. and Learned Mem :er meant as much by them, namely, to ob tain for the Company itself the land they wished to become en lee. to. That was the principle of the policy which alone THE SUN, LONDON pressed upon them, and yet the Hon. and Learned Member said, strangely enough, that no change of policy had occurred. He (Mr. Hope) would say this, that if the Government were in error in the policy they had adopted, they had to blame the po- Fcy of the Noble Lord the Member for London, w' o had pre. ceded them. ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL.—The instructions to the Governor were different. Mr. HOPE.—The Noble Lord said the instructions were different. He would not, then, go into the instructions given by the Noble Lord, but if it were necessary to do so, he should be enabled to show that his policy went to the very principle that the natives had a right in the land, and that the Crown had no right to dispossess them of it. If Hon. Members would take the trouble to examine the minutes of the reports on New South Wales of that period, they would find abundant evi dence of the results of the change of policy referred to by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The Noble Lord, the Member for Sunderland, had once referred with considerable force to a speech of Sir George Gipps, who was considered, by a majority of the Committee, a person whose opinion on this subject might be desirable. He was applied to by Capt. Fitzroy, and he (Mr. Hope) would read the evidence of Sir George Gipps. ( The Hon. Gentleman then read the extract.) It was stated that this (the sovereignty) was one of the causes that would unite the natives against the Government. It was certain that it now created great discontent, and if they adopted a different line of policy—a policy inconsistent with that i.re viously vursued—it would only bring ruin upon their interests in that country. Mr. ROEBUCK said that as he had had some share in drawing up the report of the Committee on this subject, he should wish, and he trusted to be pardoned if he addressed a few words to the House. It seemed to him, that when they considered the mode in which that unfortunate country was connected with this, a mode of connexion equally injurious to New Zealand and to Great Britain, the evils which oppressed it would be found to have hart their origin in the conduct pur sued by the Government in all time to that country. When Captain Cooke was sent out :to make discoveries', he took possession of this island in the name and on the part of Great Britain. He was an authorised person; because it might be laid down as an important doctrine, that no one, except a per son specialty instructed by Great Britain, could usurp such a right in the name of that country. He thought it necessary to put this on the broad principle before proceeding with his case. Well, Captain Cooke went and discovered New Zea land, and Great Britain then acquired what might be termed an imperfect right, which, however, by subsequent acts might have been perfected. Afterwards they lost possession of it, be cause no one, retaining authority from this country, was left in the island. It was true that certain runaways from New South Wales went and resided there from time to time. It was true that mariners called there, who attended the whale fisheries, and certain missionaries went them for the purpose of labouring in the vineyard, and there they also fixed their tem porary residence. None of these acquired a foot of ground, and New Zealand still remained unpossessed. And why ? Because the right of Great Britain to the country had not been per fected. But Great Britain, not only not contented with this virtual cession of the island, publicly declared it to be without her territories. Thus it was clear that if any for. ign nation had stepped in, as they had not perfected their right of dis covery, Great Britain would have been obliged to succumb, because she had made no declaration of her right. But she might -ay " we have recognised them as the independent people of an independent country, and we shall see that their rights are not invaded." They were acknowledged by Great Britain, and now he came to the New Zealand Company's connexion with the country, and before he had done, he thought he would put the case in such a position that the Hon. Gentleman would be puzzled to answer. The New Zealand Company said "We went out to a country which you have acknowledged to be an independent and sovereign one, and we bought land of the sovereigns of that country, paying a fair price for it, and, there fore, we consider we have a perfect title to the land, but when you come afterwards and take possession of it, you say you have had possession of the country, but we say we think this our private proper'y, bought according to the very forms on which you place so much weight—those forms which Lord Stanley so often refers to. We bought the land and we paid for it, and you have no right to look into the contract. We claim the land and deny your right to publish any proclamation that can be regarded over Europe as challenging our right to our pur chases in a free country." He should like to see the question brought into a court of law—say the Queen's Bench and its decision upon it.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") But what did Great Britain do under the government of the Noble Lord the Member for London ? What were the next stages in this farce ? and a curious farce it was. The Govern ment enlarged the commission of the Captain-General of New South Wales. They declared that his jurisdiction should ex tend to all territories in New Zealand, and then they further granted a commission to Captain Hobson to go out as a sort of deputy-captain-general. They gave him consular power, and not only that, but they furnished him with ambassadorial powers to treat with the native chiefs for their submission to the power of Great Britain. But the farce went on. Cap tain Hobson went out, and then began that other extraordi nary two-act farce commencing with the treaty of Waitangi. After this, they had Captain Hobson employing his various arts to induce the chiefs to cede the sovereignty of the country. Let them but think of the document obtained by Captain Wakefield from the chiefs around Wellington, and to urge with a grave and serious aspect such an instrument as ceding the sovereignty of a country. They (the Government) said the purchase of the land was a fraud and they would have nothing to do with it, but he maintained that the selling of the land was a fraud.—( Hear.) It was a fraud on the civilized world.—(Cheers.) They said that the purchase was dis honourable, but where was the sense of honour in their tran sactions with the New Zealand Company? But now he would remark tipon the part taken by the missionaries apart pe. culiarly marked, as they had used every means, by hands and wit to get these very documents signed. He repeated that their conduct was peculiarly marked in their intercourse with the Aborigines. But how did they get them ? Why in this way. There was at the time a great organization abroad for emancipating the negroes, and there was a mass of organization and other sentimental bubbles afloat, and so the missionaries got to New Zealand. He should be shut up to . the end of the session in Committee, and that would be the end of it. He had had sufficient ex perience of this. In the Aborigines Committee, what oc curred? When the report was made, Lord Normanby said, we cannot stand against this. In the result, General Hobson was sent out. To obviate the claims of France our prior claims to discovery was set up. This was the origin of the New Zealand Hobby—( Hear, hear)—from which no one had gained but the missionaries.—( Hear, and a laugh.) They had written an account of the Christian doctrine, and had translated it into the New Zealand language ; which, however did not contain a sufficient number of words to express the ideas, and these were written in a jargon which the New Zealanders could not understand, but be could because he knew English. ( Hear, and laughter.) But simple as the missiouaries were, they took care of themselves.—( Hear, and laughter.) One t-entleman of this body acknowledged that he had obtained a bit of land—which turned out to he 90,030 acres, Another had 1011,090 acres.—( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The missionaries were the real cause of all the misgovernment. The great evil at the root of all colonial government was, that when a Ministry came into power, they said, we must have a Colonial Secretary, and they immediately placed in office some man of Parliamentary influence, with•.ut regard to his know le .ge or capacity. But there was a power behind, and, in this case, the missionaries were that power.—( Hear, hear.) Such influence was sometimes overcome by a man of great strength of mind, great sagacity, great patience. But Lord Stanley was not such a person.—( Hear, hear.) The missionaries had been the cause o' the differences between this country and France in Tahiti.—( Hear, hear.) They went abroad under the pretence of spreading the religion of peace, and they spread only war and dissen-ion. He did not blame this Government for all that had occurred. Preceding Governments, from the s:ld of Geo. 111. down to Lord Normanby were equally to blame.—( Hear, hear.) He thought that the Government should take the territory into their own hands, and give the colonists a charter for self-government. such as was possessed by the colonists of Rhode Island. When the first settlers of the New Zealand Company were about to leave the Thames, they bad agreed upon a forth of Govern.nent amongst themselves which they undertook to obey. In this they followed the example of those pilgrim settlers who adopted a form of government which was now reverenced throughout America as much as %Jagna Charta was in England. He said thus much in justice to the New Zealand Company, although he did not approve of all their proceedings, and especially of their taking out emigrants without providing for their settlement. ( Hear, hear.) A land tax had been spoken of. But upon whom was the tax to be levied? Who owned the land ? Hear, hear.) It could not be alleged that individuals amongst he tribes owned it, nor that the tribes themselves were the owners. Each tribe occupied, from time to time, certain spots, which they cultivated as long as they would bear culti vation, when they moved off to another spot more fertile. But they did not po.sess the land as the savages of North America formerly possessed theirs ; for tho latter used the land as hunting grounds, and lived upon it. But it was absurd to say that the New Zealanders possessed the land from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain, as the people of this island possessed Britain, or the Hon. Gentleman opposite possessed his paternal estates. He thought the course which the Government ought to pursue was to take the land on the part of the Crown—to give to the natives a liberal pro tection, and such reserves of land as would be amply adequate to their comfortable subsistence amonst the civilized settlers. This was the only thing which could be done to soften that fate, to which the New Zealanders, like all savage races coming in contact with civilised men—that'Of Certain extinc- lion. But if the proposed land. tax w , re imposed ;he result would be. that the land would become that of the Crown by forfeiture within twelve months. __ (Hear.) That was a fiction which he would not say was undignified—the term was in•ufcient to express its character. It was rather worthy of that term to which the Noble Lord himself ( Lord Stanley) had given authority—that of "thimble rig."—(Hear ar.d laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, who was very imperfectly heard throughout, concluded by entreating the Government to adopt the policy he had recommended. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it was not his intention to enter now into a lengthened discussion of this ques. tMn, which had ben already, in the course of this session, suffi. ciently considered by the House. Now he was quite prepared to admit with the Member for Ltskeard, that there were many of the persons who undertook the scheme with the most disin terested motives, and yet it appeared from the book on the table, that there were persons who realised 6 per cent. on their outlay. He men, ioned this because there was a great deal in the conduct of the Company which was deemed culpable by the Government. In 1839, when under the conduct of Captain Wakefield, the New Zealand Company had made purchases unwise in their character of the natives. The Hon. and Learned Member for Bath had distinctly chal lenged tim on the ground that the New Zealand Company had not been guaranteed by the Government. In 1839 the New Zealand Company had applied to the Government for a recog nition of their authority. On this application the Government had expressly stated that they would not recognise their pro ceedings, yet in spite of these proceedings the New Zealand Company had made purchases of the natives of lanes to which they were alone entitled, and on the 2d of May the New Zealand Company had issued a lands were t o i n which possession y ° li f e d e n e o r ; t p a r i o:p l e a c n t d u s s , w st h a i t e i h ng sv t e h r a e t tr t u he ly y the slightest title i They h h u a t d L ap o p r l d ied N t o o rin th a e nh G y o , v u e n rn de m r en th t e fo a r d a_ recognition of this title, vice of Capt. Hobson, had replied, that that the t he t G re o a v t3 er o n f m l4ata e , nt i c n c. g ul , d not do otherwise than acknowledger was a valid treaty. Yet in spite of a c ll a th t tswthak,tied the New to w Zealand Company had instructed their agent, make purchases sovereignty lands of o f their the own natives, estates.who weP. r i e h i e w y rfectly entitled to the had made these ' fully recognised by the government of this Company.purchases at a time when the sovereignty of these lands L w or a d s Normanby had ex, ressly recognised the sovereignty over the wastes of New Zealand, and it was quite incompetent fur the agents of the New Zealand Company to enter into any arrange ments which disregarded the rights of the natives. This treaty was made in 1840, with the full cognizance of the New Zealand Company, and he used the expression advisedly ; he yet asserted that the country was fully bound to observe the terms of that treaty. In the terms of that treaty the Noble Lord the Mem ber for London entirely agreed, and had expressed his approval of the treaty, and had further stated that this treaty was one which ought to be observed, that there were no members of the common community who were so much entitled to protection as the inhabitants of New Zealand, Their rights had been recognised by the Government. On the 18th November the New Zealand Company's agent had entered into an arrange- • merit with the natives, in the full knowledge of the terms of the treaty cf Waitangai. In that treaty it is expressly stipu lated that the Company should not be entitled to any lands which were not granted by the Crown. Yet, when any dis pttte arose, they endeavoured to establish it as a sort of condi tion that the lands they sought to obtain were to be allowed by the express consent of the natives. That this was the case was expressly apparent from the consent ef the Noble Lord himself, and a letter of Mr. Vernon Smith, which expressly stated the terms of the agreement to the Company. To this the chairman of the New Zealand Company replied, fully stating that the Company took the land under the supposition that the Crown had to give its approbation to the purchase. The Commissioner of Land Claims had to ascertain on what grounds the Company had to make their claims to the lands entered upon by tie ar rangement of Col. Wakefield. By an inspection of the agree• ment with the natives it was evident that no agreement had been entered into by the Company. But a Commission on the part of the Crown lands had authorised such steps to be taken as would validate the purchase of the lands. He would not fatigue the House by reading letters which showed that the New Zealand Company had agreed to make their purchases of lands for a considerable sum—not 5064.—but for a considerable sum ; and if this deposit was to be made, how was this claim to be satisfied ? and he thought that it was quite contrary to the principle of this agreement that the New Zealand Com pany should take this land first under their original right, and secondly on the principle of national law. Now, what did the Noble Lord the Member for London say to this subject ? Why, he said that he would guarantee any grant to which a superior title was not shown. It was, therefore, rather too much to say that the New Zealand Company's views had not been carried out to the extent which they themselves had laid down. It has been suggested that the Noble Lord has not kept. faith with the Company, because he had not fulfilled good faith in the award of the 18th May. Now, what was the fact ? The Noble Lord had determined that the title to these lands should be shown by the possession of the 'latices. A Commissioner had accordingly been appointed to investigate the titles of the natives to the several districts, for which he was responsible. When, therefore, the Commissioner had in vestigated this award, there was to be a subsequent agreement, on which the title of the New Zealand Company was to be based. He would venture on no further explanation, because he thought that it was unnecessary. He had shown the nature of the treaty of Watangi, he had shown the nature of the de gree of civilisation to which the natives had advanced, and he had shown that it was a treaty into which the agent of the New Zealand Company had solemnly entered, which had been gua ranteed by the Government, and for which the previous Go vernment was responsible. Mr. LABOUCHERE denied that this was a question be tween the Government and the New Zealand Company. It was the duty of this House to inquire what was the policy of the Government with which, as Secretary of the colonies, he was connected. He did remember the anxious desire of Lord Nor manby—an anxiety in which he had most deeply participated— that the inferior race should not be crushed by the su e erior rare, and he was prepared to s• .y that nothing had been more opposed to the policy of the Government of which Lord Nor manby was a member, than to violate the terms of the treaty of Wanangai. He would contend that if was owing to the documents which the Government had put upon the table that had cawed all the confusion and misfortunes of New Z eland. He found by the dispatches of Lord Stanley, that the instructions of Lord Stanley were contrary to the instructions of that House. If it was the wish of the House to conciliate in that country they would have adopted a very different course of policy. He did think the same course of justice and fairness should be adopted towards the people of New Zealand as had been exis•ing between this country and France or in America. He did not mean that nice points upon any sub ject should be allowed to form d:ffieulties in the way of leAslating for a h alf savage people. ( Hear, hear.) But he did think that substantial justice should be done as between the natives and the settlers, and this could be very easily done without injury to the prosperity of this coun try, or without the necessity of sending out a larger body of armed men. He did think it would be absurd to regard the aborigines of New Zealand as if they were the inha bitants of a state as civilized as that of England; lint the mode by which the Government proposed to fine those people was an absurd mistake. ( Hear, hear, and cheers. ) The levy of a tax was proposed, but the absurdity of such a measure must be apparent to any person who considered the present state of the aborigines of that country.—(Hear, hear.) He would not detain the House further on the present occa sion. He would give his vote in favour of his Hon. Friend near him, for he did think, that if the House was so taken up by party conflicts, he feared it would go far to shaks the confi dence of the public in that House. Sir R. INGLIS contended that the labour of the missionaries in New Zealand had produced great results, and he was sorry to hear the Hon. and Learned Member for Liskeard permit him self to speak slightingly of those missionaries. Believing that the question raised by the New Zealand Company was raised to support the interest of the Company as such, and for no ()ther m object, he should give his support to her Majesty's Gore ment. Mr. AGLIONBY regretted being obliged to obtrude him self upon the House upon this subject, because his feelings were very strong upon the matter. He thought that a Committee would be a much better tribunal for the investigation of the subjects which had been brought under the considera tion of the House by the Attorney-General, than that House was. The Hon. ann Learned Gentleman had dealt in gross exaggeration. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had said, that tne purchases of land by the New Zealand Company had been unfairly made. This was entirely without proof. The Company had paid every farthing which had been awarded by the Commissioner of claims. In one ease, after the title to the land had been conveyed, the Cempany paid 7,1;00/. for what was called good-will. 1 he Company had desired peace, and had made every concession to the Government short of a concession of their honour. They had never concealed anything from the Government. He believed that no one would dare to say in the presence of the Noble Lord the Member for London, that the New Zealand Company had misled him. They had done n o such thing. Everything was open to him, and the Noble Lord knew this. The Noble Lord, when he was in office, might have had every document connected with the Company merely for the asking for them. The safety of the colony had been and should be the first object of the Company. They coupled the condition with the monopoly. If the House wished for in formation nothing would be refused. With regard to the Hon. Member for Oxford, I e would assert that no aggravation was conceded. But until he had evidence to the contrary he should believe that the; motives and actions to carry on their designs were rendered abortive by the proceedings of the Church Missionary Society ; arid tire opposition of that Gen tleman had been a prevailing opposition. The Hon. Gentle man then read a memorial from that society. Sir R. IN GLIS asked whether this was according to the custom of the Church Missionary Society. This remark would justify any imputation on their character? Mr. A GLION BY would say that in the absence of the reli gious inducements of the popular safety there was something to consider beside the religious prejudices of the people. By the decision of the Government they had settled 200,000 acres of land on these persons, and between the several parties it had come to this whether they would or could not colonize New Zealand. But he was obliged to yield in order to rebut the feelings of those whose judgment he very highly respected. He had listened to the observations of the Hon. and Learned Member of the Board of Trade, he was quite conscious that the adhesion of the 'rtie Company would be quite sufficient but in the event of aggrieved should be granted. On the 21st December last it was agreed that the advantages should be divided, and assured to those who felt a very conscious sup pusition that a division would settle the question. Mr. HOPE said that be had supplied a full report of the proceedings of the Government, and he thought that when he had supplied the whole document, extracts w ere unnecessary. FEES (CRIMINAL COURTS) BILL. Mr. B. ESCOTT moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. CHIPPS seconded the motion. The ATI': , RNEY-GENRAL opposed it. Mr. HUME supported it. Mr. B. ESCOTT explained, and Sir J. GRA HAM expostulated. Mr. DARBY remonstrated with the promoters of the Bill, which was eventually postponed. TURNPIKES ROAD (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this Bill, Air. PRINGLE wished to reserve the second reading, as a great number of Scottish Members were out of town. Mr. P. M. STEWART trusted that the Hon. Member, as he did not object to the Bill, would allow it to be read a second time, and take the discussion in Committee. The Unions (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Jurors Book (Ireland) Bill was read a third time. The report on the Va:ualion (Ire and) Bill was brought up, and ordered to be committed. The report of the Committee of Supply was received. SLAVE TRADE (BRAZIL) BILL. On the order of the day for going into Committee en this Bill, Mr. MILNER GIBSON said that as this was a very im portant measure, he trusted before the House would proceed further in it, that any correspondence yet unproduced would be laid before the House, and he should therefore move that the House do not resolve itself into Committee on the Bill this day in order to give Government an opportunity of laying any other correspondence relative to the question before the H o use. Sir R. PEEL hoped that the Hon. Member would allow the Bill to go into Committee, and if any papers connected with theslave-trade, not already laid on the table could be found, they would be produced before the third reading. Mr. HAWES hoped that if any other correspondence ex i.ted, it would be laid on the table, and he thought those Hon. Members belonging to the mercantile community ought to en tertain similar views. Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had stated he would Le ready to acquiesce in the postponement of the third reading of the Bill in order to producing co. respondence that had taken place between the Government of the Brazils and her Majesty's Gavernment. 11Ir. HUTT thought that the correspondence was of very great importance, and he trusted that the papers would be laid before the Hou,e, as it was really a matter of moment that the House should be informed on the subject. Capt. PECHELL said that if the Admiralty Court were made paramount it would be the most effectual means of put ting down the slave trade. Mr. HUME objected to the matter going further without additional in ormation being furnished. Si R. PEEL said the lovernment could not bring forward the Bill at an earlier period of the session, from the press of ether business. Colonel SIBTHORP bad been eighteen years in the House, and never saw the Hon. Member for Salford asleep at his pest before. They were now mile(' upon, at half-past one, to force measures of the greatest importaece through a thinly attended House. Why did not the don. Member move the adjourn ment ? Alr. MILNER GIBSON thought he should not be discharg ing his duty if be allowed the bill to proceed without the pro duction of the correspondence he had cailed for. He would therefore muve the appointment of the Committee on Thursday next. The motion having been seconded, Sir R. PEEL expressed his willingness to postpone going into Committee on the Bill till Thursday next. Mr. M. GIBSON called for the production of Mr. Ellice's correspondence relative to the right of search. Sir R. PEEL said, as these negotiations had been unsuc• cessful, he thought it would be inconsistent in him to pro duce it. HIJAIE said the country was anxious to know upon what grounds the trade between Brazil and this country had been suspended, and he therefore hoped the correspondence would be laid on ,he table of the House. Sir H. PEEL said he had no objection to the production of all pacers which would not be injurious to the public service. The Stamp Duties Bill then passed through Committee, and the report was brought up. JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. On the reading of the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill, Sir R. IN GUS objected to the passing of the Bill at this late hour, being now two o'clock, and he would divide the House.--( Hear, hear. ) Colonel SI BTHORP had for many years looked upon the Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Government as a sin cere Christian and Protestant. But he had been compelled not to regard him any longer in that light—( A laugh)—and he should never again be surprised at any Bill which that Right Han. Gentleman might bring in, if it were even to destroy the Protestant Church, and to bring in infidelity in its place. ( Laugh ter; ) He would support Ina Hon. Friend the Mem ber for Oxford, who was really a Christian and a Prote s t an t ) Ther. ) itnrecording his vote against the Bill.—( Hear, h — ea (L r, aute a g n h dla r u Tho House then divided, when the numbers were— For the third reading . 44 Agai.ist it Majority .... —33 The Bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. " Heytesbury, ss Whereas by an Act passed in the sixth year of the reign of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, entitled ' An Act to Consolidate the Laws relating to the Constabulary Force in Ireland.' it is amongst other things enacted, that it shall and may be lawful to and for the Lord Lieutenant, or other chief governor or governors of Ireland, by the advice of the Privy Council in Ireland, to declare by proclamation, that any county, county of a city, or county of a town in Ireland, or any barony or baronies, half barony or half baronies in any county at large, or any district of less extent than any barony or half barony to be therein specified, is or are in a state of disturbance, and re quires or require an additional establishment of police:— " And whereas it hath sufficiently appeared to us that the county of Cavan is in a state of disturbance, and requires an additional establishment of police. "Now we, the Lord Lieutenant, by and with the advice of her 11aje-ty's Privy Council, by virtue of the said Act, and the powers thereby vested in us, do, by this our proclamation, declare that the said county of Cavan is in estate of disturbance, and requires an additional establishment of police. " Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin, this 18th day of July, 1845. "RD. DUBLIN. DoNoUGHMORE. EDWD. MEATH. " CHARLES KILDARE. F. BLACKBURNE. "E. BLAKENEY. FRED. SHAW. "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN." There is in the same Gazette another proclamation, direst ing thi,t additional police shall be placed in three or four ba ronies of the county. This proceeding the Lord Lieutenant is enabled to adopt by the ex:sting law ; which, if impartially and vigorously enforced, as it had been by the Whigs, will speedily restore tranquillity in the district. The Tory magistrates of Cavan, in their memorial, intimated to the Lord Lieutenant that they would not be satisfied with the mere " proclaiming of the county;" they require martial law. But it is we l t k nown t h at hi s Excellency is opposed to such extreme meaures, and Mr. Justice Jackson, in his recent charge to the Leitrim grand jury, stated it as his conviction, that the ordinary law is quite sufficient. If the magistrates of Cavan cordially co-operate with the Government, their county would soon be treed from the violence and excitement produced by the Orangemen as well as the " Molly Maguires. " Th ere is now a strong military force in Cavan and the other disturbed counties, and troops are regularly encamped at Drum shambo in the county of Leitrim. VER:DIC.F AGAINST THE POLICE IN CAVAN. The inquest on the body of Thomas Tierney, shot by the police at Lavey, county of Cavan, on the night of the 12th of July, terminated on Wednesday evening. The deceased, a young man, aged 20, was the only son and sole support of a widowed mother. The evidence went to show that no provo cation whatever had been given for the firing ; and the jury, composed of Prot' stants and Roman Catholics, unanimously delivered the follewing verdict, which is virtually one for mur der ;—" That deceased, Thomas Tierney, came by his death on the night of Saturday, the 12th of July instant, in the townland of Lavey, in the parish of Lavey, and county of Cavan, in consequence of a gun-shot wound inflicted by Wm. Farmer, constable in the constabulary, and it does not appear there was a provocation given." The correspondent of the Dublin Evening Post says— " The event gave very great satisfa c ti on t o th e f r i en d s o f t h e deceased, and also to a large concourse of country people who were present, and will tend more to restore peace to this part of the country than additional police or threatened coeicion. " The Coroner immediately issued his warrant for the arrest of constable Farmer for murder. It is rumoured here to-day that. Farmer, instead of being sent to gaol like any other per son, is to be kept in the police barrack until the Government order him co be bailed. " It behoves the Government not to give the people anv cause to think that a constable, aceu'ed of a serious crime, will he treated differently from one of themselves under similar cir cumstances." ORANGE PROCESSIONS—INQUEST AT ARMAGH. THURSDAY, JULY 17.-1 he Coroner took his seat this morning at nine o'clock. William Kelly examined-1 am sub-inspector of nice. Early on the morning of the 12th July, about eleven o clock, I think, being informed that some Orangemen had come into Armagh, I employed Coulson, a policeman, to watch them, in order to tell me when any number should assem ble. Coulson was a sort of running orderly. Having been informed by him that a party were assembling at Barrack , hill, sod were preparing for a movement, I went over, being at that time in the Court-house, to Mr. Paton, the magistrate for the c-unty Armagh. He was sitting in a grand jury-room. I said to him, " Sir, the Orangemen are assembling, and I thiiik it would be well if you would turn out the troops." He shook his head, saying, " Oh, there is no occasion," or words to that direct effect. Sir George Molyneux was sitting in the window near him. I can't say which I heard. I stepped bark and said, " Oh, very well, Sir." I said this with marked emphasis and gesture, intend ing that be should mark the consequences. I had stepped backwards a pace or two in the act of returning, when he turned round and said, " Mr. Kelly, are there many of them ? are they moving 7 " I think these were the words he used. " Why," I replied, "they are actually moving." " Oh, then," said he, " go into the secretary's office, and get me a sheet of paper." I asked Mr. Anderson (county inspector) to get a sheet of paper for me, as I must fly off immediately and get Hit my men, telling him at the time the object of it. Seeing that Mr. Anderson did not know the direction of the secre tary's office, I went to get the paper and two pens myself, fearing the consequences of delay. I got the paper and pens from Mr. Davison. I think. Mr. Paton was at the door of the jury -room, into which he walked leisurely. I saw him head the paper with the date, and the words " City of Armagh." I said I could not wait for it, and added, " Sit, I must be off to my men, and I'll leave one of my men to wait for it." I went down stairs. I left one of my men (Daly) to wait for the document ; I ran down stairs to College-street, and up to English-street, and saw an Orange procession pass, with banners and music. I had not at that time made any calculation of the number; seeing Head-con stable Lodge at the corner, I took him with me to watch the movements of the procession. I took him with me to Ban.. brook-hill, being in the direction of Loughgall. Mr. Anderson and a party of police were immediately in the rear of the whole parts' ; having seen them almost out of sight unmolested, clear of that part of the town, so far as I could see the banners waving, Mr. Anderson gave orders to countermarch to the barracks. I saw two of the party, at that early hour of the day, very drunk. One of them was Mr. Sling—he is very seldom sober. I don't know the second one. Sling had an Orange sash. Perhaps Head-constable Lodge does, as I pointed him out to him, and I said, " I should not wonder if something happens, bye-and-by, from that fellow's being drunk." Head constable Lodge remarked that he feared something might happen when tho-e pe, sons returned in the evening, to which I replied, that all we had to do with our small party was closely to watch their mmvements ; there were not more than eight dis posable men at the time, the rest being employed at the Crown solicitor's office, as witnesses, to be examined, preparatory to the assizes. I stationed a man at the same office to give me word whenever he heard a drum in the distance ; in the course of the day, I asked Mr. Robinson, J.P. if anything •happened in the course of the evening with regard to the Orange pro cession, where and when I could have his services. He " Oh, you shall have my services—you'll most likely find me at soy house." At the same time he deprecated or found fault with it. " 1 have made it a matter of neck or , nothing with some of my tenants, if they come in to join this 1 1 enjoyment," and -hese were the words Mr. Robinson used, I think. It was before I saw Ur. Paton that I spoke to Mr. Robinson. The witness went on to say that having then heard drums in the direction of Banbrook, he proceeded in that direction. Saw the Orangemen defiling at the head of Mill-street. Did all in his power to induce the Orangemen to go back. Saw one of the Orange party with a long pistol, firing and resting the pistol on his knee. He took deliberate and murderous aim. Thinks there were sixty shots fired. Witness here expressed a wish that Mr. Barnes had renderd him the assistance he said he did. He caught hold of Mr. Barnes by the breast and implored him, for God's sake, three or four times, to go for a magistrate, but he did not go. On his (witness's) sacred oath, he believed such harm would not have been done if he had gone. Mr. Anderson, county inspector, was the next witness; but his evl'ence was not material. Dr. Colvan deposed that he examined the deceased, and found that he had received a gun-shot wound in the right groin, from the effects of which he died. A woman, named Al'Kenn, deposed that she saw an Orange man, named Rice, fire the fatal shot. At half -past seven e'clock the public were excluded from the room. The jury remained closeted until about ten minutes to twelve &clock, when they unanimously agreed to the foilowing verdict :—" That on the 12th of July last, at Thomas street. in the city of Armagh, a party of Orangemen, to the number of 150, were matching in procession with banners and music, and armed with pistols and swords, and that divers persons com prising that procession (that is to say, 31 Orangemen. whose ames are set forth on the face o' the verdict), aided and as sisted by a man unknown to the jury, made an assault on the person of John Boyle, since deceased ; and that the aforesaid person did, then and there, in Thomas-street, as aforesaid, inflict on him, John Hoyle, a gun-shot wound, which caused his death, and of which he died. • DUBLIN STOCK EXCHANGE.—JULY 19.

Sir ROBERT FERGUSON hoped that this Bill would not be pressed on at this late period of the session, con sidering the magnitude and importance of the measure. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland hoped the Hon. Baronet would nut oppose the Bill, as a taxing officer for that Court in Ireland was very much wanted. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE said he had to complain of the very late period of the session at which this measure was introduced. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said he should also protest against Bills of this sort being introduced at so late a period of the session, and, therefore, he would support his Hon. Friend in his opposition to the Bill. The question was then put, and the House agreed to go into Committee on the Bill, which it did, and the Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be committed on that day (Tuesday) after which the Huuse resumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. IR ELAND. THE COUNTY OF CAVAN PR"CLAIMED. DUILIN, JULY 19.—The Dublin Gazette last night con tained the following proclamation, extending the provisions of the Peace PreServation Act to the county of Cavan, which is declared to be in a state of disturbance, and requiring an in creased establishment of police:— " By the Lord Lieutenant and Council of Ireland. " A Proclamation. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CI RC U Worcester, July 17. Lord Denman opened the Commission for this county on the 16th, with the usual formalities ; and Mr. Justice Patteson arrived from Oxford late in the afternoon. There are only three causes entered on the list, and none of them to be tried by a special jury. The calendar con tains the names of forty-four prisoners, of whom six are for housebreaking, to o for burglary, eleven for larceny, three for unnatural off-nces, one for rape, two for man slaughter, one for embezzlement, one for forgery, four for cutting and wounding, one for horsestealing, one for sheepstealing, and three for robbery with violence. Tnis morning their Lordships attended Divine service at the cathedral, when the assize sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Claughton. After leaving the cathedral the judges proceeded to the County Hall, where, this being by ancient custom the first county in the Oxford circuit, Lord Denman. as the senior, presided in the Crown Court, and Mr. Justice Patteson took his seat on the Nisi Prins side. Nothing occurred in either Court which is worthy of being reported. BURGLARY AT ABBERLEY.—John Harris, 50, shoe maker, James Wood. 28, nailor, and Joseph Bingham, 35, nailor, were indicted for having broken into the houie of Sarah Couudley, at Abberley, on the 4th of December, and stolen fourteen sovereigns, eight crown pieces, eighty shillings, and forty sixpences, her pro perty. Mrs. Coundley deposed—l live at Abberley, and am a widow ; I occupy a cottage which is my own pro perty. en the night of the 4th of December I went to bed between eight and nine, having locked the door and made the windows safe. In the night, about midnight, I heard some one in the house, and I called out " John," thinking I should frighten them. Two persons then came to my room ; Wood and Bingham are the men. One of them said, " You called me ; I am John, sad I am come." I said, " Well, my dear, what brings you here, and what be ya come after." "We be come after yar body," said be. " Well, what do ya want with my body." " Oh, the doctor wants yar body, and we must take you to him." I said " Well, give me time to pray for my soul." They said " Pray away." They then asked me if I had any money, and then began plunder ing a box by my bedside, which I had pointed out to them ; there was some money in a linen bag, and one of them asked me if there was any more, and I said there was, and he took that away also. They then said " The place is your own," and I told him we had paid for it by our own hard labour. The tall one then went down ; I conld see their facts well enough by the candle they had. What they meant about her body was, as they said, the doctor of Wolverhampton h a d o ff ere d 501. for her body, and if they could not find that amount there they must take my body to him. They also spoke of a rope in the house, and threatened to hang me. When they were gone, I missed my purse-bay and 8/. in silver and 14/. in gold. I found a cap in the kitchen next morning, and a small iron bar in the scullery. The window had been taken out, and the door unlocked from inside. My boxes were broken open, and the things were about ; the wicket Has thrown off ,the hinges. I keep a cow. Cross-examined by Mr. YARDLEY--I cannot say exactly when I went to bed. I had a clock in the house. I had been asleep before I was disturbed, but can't tell how much time had elap.ed. I had never seen the men before ; and when I saw them afterwards they were in the hands of the police. Harris was then brought to me, but I did not know him, as I had never seen him. I was not frightened when the men came in my room. I was never alarmed in my life. I was ready to die. My protector was above. They were there a considerable time. " three months" for it, or have to pay MI. or SL, which he did not mind. • The jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Nothing of present interest occurred in the Nisi Prius Court, where Mr. Justice Patteson presided to-day, and assisted in trying prisoners. The business of the flattest assize known at Worcester for 25 years terminated at two o'clock this afternoon. Stafford, July 19. The Learned Judges have arrived here, and the com mission having been opened, busint - -ss will commence at nine o'clock on Monday morning. From the number of venire returned, it seems probable that there will be a tolerable amount of civil business ; and the calendar is decidedly heavy, there 13,ing already seventy-four pri soners for trial. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—Cumin idye, July 19. The commission for this county was opened yesterday. by Mr. Sergeant Bytes, in the absence of the Learned Judges, who did not reach Cambridge till a late hour of the night. Their Lordships havii g attended Divine service in St. Mary's Church, opened their respective courts at eleven. The cause list is a very sorry affair indeed, containing only four common jury cases, which may truly be said to be of no possible interest to any one save the parties therein concerned, and were speedily disposed of. The calendar is also very insignificant both in the number of prisoners and the character of the offences imputed to them. (Before Mr. Justices WILLIAMS.) Joseph Mills and James Filly, both aged 21, were in dicted for having burglariously entered the dwelling ho'sse of Thomas Wells, and stolen therefrom a number of articles, on the night of the 10th of June last. Mr. Burcham was counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Naylor defended the prisoners. The prosecutor is a a tradesman dealing in " sundries,' at a village about three miles from Haverill, and it ap peared that the inmates of his residence were roused in the middle of the night with the alarm of " thieves." On looking out of his window the prosecutor espied three men making off across his garden into the fields with large bundles, evidently containing plui,der. Shouting out for help, he immediately gave chase, but could not come up with the burglars, though he trac , d them for several fields by the dropping of cigars, caps, candles, and other articles, some of which he was enabled to identify as his property. At break of day the constables when set on the track discovered several cigars on the road to Haverill, one of which was lying just against the abode of one Betty Banks, an ancient dame, who ac commodates lodgers and travellers at very small charges for a night's rest. Without hesitation, the back yard of this abode was entered, and in a detached room were found the two prisoners half dressed, and sound asleep. On being roused to a state of consciousness, Mills said to Filby, " My eyes, if we ha'nt made a tine job of this at any rate ;" and well he might, for underneath the bed on which they laid were discovered a box of cigars cor responding with those lost by the prosecutor, and other property, which was recognised by him as his property. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case to the jury, both the prisoners were found Guilty of the charge imputed to them. Joseph Mills having been previously . convicted of fe lony, was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, and Filby to twelve months' imprisimment. VIOLATION OF A CHILD.—John Hall, aged 20, a com plete " clodhopper," was charged with a felonious assault onLetty Meade. MARKET N vi-:„4-(YlilTERDAY.) CORN EXCH.A.NGZ. The past week's arrivals of English Grain and Flour Irr,r e e on a very moderate s ca l e , w hil e th ose f rom S co tland Is: es t , extremely limited.

Owing to the supply of Oats, the Oat trade was heavy, at a decline off.; per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour went off at very prices.

At Hull 190 Oxen and Cows, and at SouthaMP to ~, 12 Oxen have come to hand—the former from Rotterdil, the latter from Spain. In to-day's market we had on I f 130 Oxen and Cows from the above quarters. Gener al) speaking, the supply was of full average quality; scarcely any of the Cows were in any way out of condit : ',' es , Nearly the whole were disposed of at somewhat drooping P ri A t is. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our various grazin,"" r e tricts, were, on the whole, moderately good. Although here were many most useful animals amongst them, their gene7e. quality was not to say first rate.

I knew their voices, when before the policeman, as well as their features when I had time to recoil* et. I am be tween 65 and 66. Ibe a conscientious person, and I can swear to them ; and I give to God the glory that they were ever brought before me, likewise to my earthly friends. There was nothing over their faces at the time of the robbery. Mrs. Cartwright, landlady of a beer-shop at Oldswin ford, remembered the prisoners being at her house on Sunday, three weeks and three drys bAire Christmas ; they were in the parlour, and had some drink. Harris went for John Jones, and they all then remained in the parlour, and had three jugs of sie. They then went away, leaving Jones behind. O❑ the following Friday I saw Harris at the same house ; prisoner's wife asked if witness would sell him a ton of iron. _Harris was a very poor man, and witne.ss recommended him to a person who could sell him some. John Jones, a 'Jailor, corroborated the last witness as to being in company with the three prisoners on the day in qu,stion, when Harris proposed to go and "do a rob bery." I told him at last I would go with him. He said he had some matches, a eandle, and eight yards of rope. They said it was to go to an old lady's house at the back of the Hundred House. They were all to gether at the time of this proposal. They said the old lady kept a cow. I did not go with them. We were to meet at the Cl:ack Star, Stourport, that night, and start from there when we thought proper, to go by the way of the " Dog," at Dunley. Wood and I were to take some nails with us, and the others had suite other articles. Some days after, Bingham asked me the rea son I deceived them, and I sail I woul , l not go with them. At the time of the conversation Harris told me he had a mask mad, out of an old hat. Policeman Thornton, who apprehended Wood and Bineiarn, near Bridgporth, deposed that thu , y both came from a field as he was passing by, and when they saw him they ran away, but he secured them, on which Bing ham said he meant to give himself up at the assizes, but did not wish to be in prison bc7orc that time. Witness had been nearly two hundred miles alter them. Samuel Poole, a labourer, at Tipton, met Wood at his sister's house, a beer shop, at the Lye Waste, Stour bridge, just after Christmas, and in talking about money, Wood said he and Harris and Bingham had ronbed a house mar the Hundred Houe, and had got some money. They then had some wore drink. Two or three weeks after wit.nes saw Harris and Bingham, who owned to the robbery after a little hesitation. Bingham showed him a purse, saying he had got a good bit of money in it. Other witwesses having been examined, whose evi dence tended to connect the prisoners with the burglary, the jury found a verdict of Guilty against an, the pri soners. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, remarked on the extraordinary - nerve and presence of mind of the old woman, the prosecutrix, and then said the law should take its full force. Ile sentenced them all to fifteen years' transportation. July 18. The first cause terminated this morning, and the other two engaged the attention of the Court for a short time only, the one terminating in a nonsuit and the other being referred to arbitration. Soon after eleven o'clock Mr. Justice Patteson began t., try prisoners. James Welsh, who, though described in the calendar as a labourer, in point of fact was a chemist and seedsman at Stourbridge, was indicted for the manslaughter of Jane Genevan Mr. Whitmore appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Yardley for the prisoner. It appeared that the deceased, who was only about five years old, had been suffering from ringworm, and that in consequence of this her mother took her, on the 11th of April last, to the prisoner' s s h o p. Th e p r i soner gave a box of ointment of a dark co l our , t o b e ru bb e d into the child's bead every morning and evening, and some powders to be taken every night. The treatment he recommended was adopted, and with apparent suc cess. On the 18th the child was again taken to the pri soner's shop, when he said the disease was killed, bat to make all safe a little more medicine was requisite, and he put into a phial, which he had directed the child's mother to take with her, two colourless liquids, and added to them a substance resembling saltpetre, which he had ground to powder in a mortar. lie said it was a poison, but that if his directions were followed, there was no danger. The directions were to rub a third part of the contents of the phial into the scurf, until it was quite absorbed, and then ta comb it out. The mother that afternoon, about half-past three, rubbed a small portion of the fluid on the child's head, but it produced anything but a sanative effect, for great pain and un easiness seemed to be the result. Jane, the deceased, became very sick, and all night was very ill, and con tinued to complain of her head and bowels until the Monday following. On the Monday small blisters ap peared on her forehead, and after great anguish the poor child died on the Saturday following. Mr. Cooper, surgeon to the Stourbridge Dispensary, stated that he was called in to see the deceased, and that her head was inflamed and blistered all over the fore head ; that there was fever, and that all the symptoms of salivation were present. He also performed the post modem examination, and in his opinion, which was cor roborated by Dr. Fox and another medical gentleman, Mr. Giles, who were present at it, death was attributable to sloughing in the mouth, produced by an excessive dose of a powerful mercurial preparation, called corro sive sublimate, which had been externally applied and een taken into the system by absorption. The medical witnesses declared that no application of strength suffi cient to produce such results as were apparent here ought to have been made in the case of the deceased. They also, however, admitted that occasionally very minute portions of mercury would, - under peculiar cir cumstances, produce the most violent and unexpected effects. Mr. YARDLEY addressed the jury for the prisnner. After a complete summing up by Lord DENMAN, the jury Acquitted the prisoner. July 19. ' - Thomas Nutley, carpenter, was charged with having, on the 2d of May last, violated the person of Elizabeth Welch, a girl of between 14 and 15 years of age. Mr. Lutwyche appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. lluddlestone for the defence. It seemed that about nine o'clock on the evening in question the prisoner, who worked for Mr. Wilkes, a carpenter, living at Bredon, called at his master's house, and asked Mrs. Wilkes to give him some cider. Although he had apparently drunk too much already, Mrs. Wilkes gave him two pints of cider, which he drank off. Soon after he had left the house, the prosecutrix was desired by Mrs. Wilkes to go with a message to a neighbour named Mason, and upon her way to execute her com mission, the girl was seized by the prisoner, a powerful young man, and carried into a hovel, where, as she swore, he perpetrated the offence described in the indict ment. It appeared that, although this occurrence took place on the Friday night, she made no complaint of ill usage from the prisoner until the afternoon of the Tues day following, and that in the interim she had repeatedly denied that anything improper had taken place between them. She said that she had not told the truth about the matter before, because she was afraid of her father, who was a very passionate man, and she certainly seemed to be not quite so quick-witted as children of her age usually are. The prisoner, upon being taken into cus tody, and acquainted with the nature of the charge made against him, observed that he supposed he should get Mr. Sletcalre conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Pryme defended the prisoner. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, a girl not yet 12 years of age, it appeared that on the day named in the indictment she was sent into the fi, Ids with her brother's dinner. On her way she pasard a field in which were the prisoner and another young man at woik, and again on her way home. On the latter occasion the pri soner, despite the intreaiies of his companion, followed the poor thing, and, according to the very confused ac count which she could give of the affair, accomplished the offence with which he stood charged, having, in the first instance, deliberately tied her hands bilind her back. On her arrival at home she wept bitterly, and complained to her mother that . " Jack flail had been meddling with her," but her t ,arent did not seem to have entered very warmly into the cause of her injured child, for she contented herself with being " quite taken aback," and omitted to send for a medical man. ttis LORDSHIP having summed up the case to the jury, left it to them to say whether they thought it had been clearly made out. The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted the pri soner of the felony, • but found him guilty of a common a,sault ; whereupon he was sentenced to 12 months' im prisonment. As might have been expected, the business of these assizes was brought to a close in the course of the day, so ti.at the bench and the bar may di..p.irt themselves on Sunday and Monday in the walls of Alma Mater, or on the banks of the sedgy Cam, as the commission fur Nor folk is not " due" till Tuesday. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, July is. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE ) THOMPSON v. DnDGSON. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Baines and Mr. Rew appeared for the plaintiff. The action was undefended. Mr. BAINES stated the case. The plaintiff, who was then 26 years of age, was the daughter of John Thomp son, who formerly kept an inn at Gisburn, and was now a masher carrier at the same place. The defendant was a person of about the same age as the plaintiff; and he rented a farm of 150 L a year, at Newsome, under Lord Ribblesdale. The intimacy between the parties com menced as far back as 1838, when he was received as a suitor, and he stated that it was his intention to marry the plaintiff. In 1840 she gave .birth to a chill, and in 1842, in consequence of her father being unfortunate in business, she went to reside at Manchester as a house keeper. The defendant had written a number of letters to the plaintiff down to the middle of last summer, which left no doubt that the defendant had promised to marry her, although he had neglected to fulfil his engagement. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read a number of letters, in which the defendant stated that the plain tiff was " His nightly thought, • His morning care, His evening song, His morning prayer.' —(Laughter.) He also stceit his desire" to lodge where she lodged, to eat where she ate, and to rest where she rested." In another letter he s.iid : " Your hand and heart I wish to claim, Oh, make me happy with the same, In pity yield to my requ,st, And in your smiles let me be blest I" —(Loud laughter:) Mr. Baines observtd, that it was quite clear promises of marriage had been made by the defendant and broken, and he therefore submitted that the plaintiff had a right to recover considerable damages. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Da mages, 501. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) The Court was occupied the greater part of the day in trying cases of rape, the details of which aro not fit for pub!ication. In the first case, Henry Blond was ac quitted ; in the other Jonas Bower was found guilty, and transported for life. Mr. Granger, Mr. Overend, and Mr. Johnstone were for the prosecution ; and qr. Bliss for the defence. SOUTH WALES CIR CUlT.—Carrnartheq July 18. David Jones, Esq., b an k er , of Llandovery, High , She riff of the county o f C arm arthen. proceeded last evening ' with his retinue °javelin men. &c., to escort Mr. Jus tice Coltman into this town, where he arrived between eight and nine o'clock, and shortly afterwards his L• rd ship proceeded to the Guildhall, attended by the Sheriff, &c., and the corporation o fficials, when he opened the commission of assize for this county. The calendar of prisoners for trial is unusually light, there being only about half a dozen on the list ; this, no doubt, arises from the circumstance of the Quarter Sessions having recently taken place; yet a general impression prevails that of late there has been a considerable diminution of crime in most of the Welsh counties. It was very doubtful whether his Lordship would reach Carmarthen in time to open the commission, on account of the mass of evi dence adduced in the heavy case of Lord Dunraven v. Matins, in which Sir T. Wilde and Mr. Cockburn ware specially retained. The subject-matter of this action, which terminated in a verdict for the plaintiff, was in respect of certain mines, which have already been the subject of much litigation, and in which a second action of Matins v. Price stands adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOh'OUGH-STREET. John M'Carthy was brought up in custody on a warrant for feloniously receiving one gold bracelet, of the value of 501., the property of the Hon. Colonel Pepys. The prisoner was ap prehended this morning, on his being discharged from the new Westminster Bridewell, where he had been imprisoned for fourteen days for drunken and disorderly conduct. It will be recollected that about three weeks ago a quantity of plate and the bracelet in question were discovered to have been stolen from Lord Cottenhasn's residence, No. 16, Park lane, and on the Bth i ns t ant a man offered for sale the bracelet, broken into pieces, at the shop of Mr. Louis Keyzor, of Tot tenham-court-road, dealer in gold and at I ver,Ni ho, suspecting that it had not honestly been come by, told the man to wait in the shop, and went for a constable to give him into custody. The man, however, during his absence, decamped. In the course of the day a female, who has since given the name of Mary M'Carthy, and proves to be the prisoner's wife, went to Mr. Keynes shop, and asked for the money for the bracelet, on which she was given in charge, and being brought to this court has since stood remanded. The police tracing out that the male prisoner was in Westminster Bridewell, Mr. Keysor went there, and imme diately identified him as the person who had offered the bracelet for sale. The prislners have for some considerable time past kept a petty marine store and rag shop in Peter-street, Soho. The police having obtained some clue to the parties who actually committed the robbery, there will, as a matter of course, be a further remand. IMPROVED SCAFFOLDING.—There are .tome houses building at Kensington Gore which have a contrivance worthy of being imitated by b uilders, where space will admit of its being us•d it is a series of inclined planes, to enable the la bourers to reach with more ease to themselves the different stories of the building with bricks and mortar. A labourer is more fatigued going up one day by the ladder than he is three on the inclined plane.— The Builder.
