LITERAT URE. A GLANCE of BELGIUM and Me RHINE. Byl Thomas L'amsay, Esq. There perhaps. no part of the Continent about rhich . roore ha. bee(' written than that which is the sub ject ()I the work before us : yet, in justice to the author, we ruu-t completely acquit him ef having put forth what is either stale or superfluous. Mr. Ratnsay's " Glance" has presented many new points of beauty and interest, which could scarcely he observed by the aid of any mere guide-book. We shall best explain the dist inctive features of this work and guide-book by comparing thelatter to an ordinary map—the former to a bird's eye view—the one ' may be accurate and useful, but the other is, in addition, striking and picturesque. The guide-book, with tabular precision, fixes your route—tells you what, when, where, an] how you may s ee, and eat, or sleep , to t he best advantage ; but our author gives you truthful tableaux of himself and his party of friends at all the ever- varying positions into which such a group can he thrown ; and whether we have them in the "solemn temples" of religion, the rich galleries of art at Antwerp, the vagaries of the royal inauguration fete at Brussels, "on an empire's dust" at Waterloo, among the musty relics at Aix-la. Chapelle and Cologne, whirling by the Belgian railroad, or treading the deck of the Rhine steamer, climbing Ehrenbreitstein, or strolling on the margin of the " blue Moselle," we must say that they seem to have been a most enviable set of happy fellows, and our author the very pink of ciceroni, save and except, perhaps, when he runs away from them in order to reach the summit of Ehrenbreitstein, which he saw they would not attempt under a broiling sun. We ceri airily do not approve of all the writer's senti ments, particularly as respects religion and church matters. Mr. Ramsay does not conceal that he is a high churchman and something more. Anglo-Catholicism is the key-note upon which all the moral of his book seems to :urn, and he takes frequ2nt occasion to bring in well 'riled remarks upon the forms of the Anglican, as con asted with those of the Roman Church. He says of :visit to Lntwerp Cathedral on a week day : " Ear:y morn though it was, not only did we find the tloors of the cathedral open, but its aisles crowded with worshippers. Two or three priests were of in the chapels ; but it was far more solemn and impressive to behold the groups of people, of all ranks and condi tions. young and old, rich and poor, one with another,' all mingled together in acts of devotion. No pews, no fixed seats of any kind encumbered the vast expanse of aisle. Low chairs there were in countless piles, ready to be brought out when required ; and there is a useful contrivance upon them, by which they can conveniently be appropriated either to kneeling or sitting, though the :ormu r was the use to which we saw them mainly de voted. The place is holy to the breath Of awful harmonics, of whispered' prayers.' And with great prepriety the accommodations are strictly in accordance with it all. The people were neatly on their knees, in silent prayer; and many a d. ep•drawn sigh we heard, the emission, we would fain hare persuaded curselve, of a contrite heart. Some were standing, others seated here and there, apparently in serious meditation. All wore the appearance of deep so'emni . y, as though the sanctity of God's more imme diate pre ence did indeed • Brood with a voiceless influence on the air; Stern, yet serene ;—a reconciling spell. Each troubled billow of the soul to quell.' " So much for Remae.Catholieism at Antwerp. Of Anelu-Catholicism at Brussels, Mr. Ramsay says— " 1 here are two Ferglish P. otestant, or, we would rather Anglo-Catholic chapels, at Brussels ; one of them, si• timed near the Palace, is attended by King Leopold wh.n he is in his capital. There being a great many lieglish residents in Brussels, both these chapels, we learited, were well filed on Sundays; but they are closed e'd the week. er nearly so, whilst the Roman Catholic churehes are n t:ay by day. And cer asav, in this rest) ct, the contrast is anything but favourable, either in %%hat is real or appar , nt , to the English Protestant system. Uur Protestartism, in fact, wherever it shows it ell on the Continent, is by this very contrast made all the more cold and repulsive. That there is religious pcace in Brussels, if not religion , concord, we saw much to asinre 115. The great bulk of the people are of what is vet trtily the Established' Church—that is, the Church of Forme ; and everything we saw convinced us that they are d..votolly ethehed to their church." Taese extracts are sufficient to show the leaning of the work. Its principles cannot be readily adopted by the general r. ; but they are asserted with so much sinee rity, cansistency, and good taste, that even those who hold opposite views cannat take offence. When Mr. Ramsay gets into Germany, he seizes the opportunity of viewing the Anglican Church in another light—con trasted with Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Rationalism. He mikes the most of the la cent exhibition of the Holy Tunic at Troves, of the consequent secession of John Rouge, a priest in Silesia, from the Romish com munion, and his exertions in forming a German Catholic Church. But we cannot folLw this portion of the book fa: ther; nor would we wish, indeed, to convey the idea that its pages are surcharged with such grave and weighty matters; they form, as we have raid, the key-note of the work ; but many intermetliate passages run into the merriest ategro, while the general style is so unaffected and easy, that the author is soon claimed by the reader as an agreeable acquaintance, and carries him along with bon right heartily, wheth. r the places traversed inspire the meditative or the mirthful mood. Take, for instance, lire " sloriing at Cotdentz," than which, he tells us, "a lovelier never smiled upon the favoured Rhine, than that whieh revelled o'er its majestic stream and banks" upon that occasion. So, then, meihought, when rising to resume the march of life, here is moraing at Cohlentz ! I do, in deed. breathe the air wafted from the wedded waters of the Rhine and Moselle ! What magic has there ever ben to me its tl:e names of these rivers ! The one embodying all that is stic and grand—the other all that is g.. rata and lovely ! flow, when my school ac wintance with Caesar de bello Gallic°, told me of the Roman login on the banks of the Rhine, has the inspir ing hope arisen that I might one day behold the river which rolled b fore the mighty conqueror of the world Tins was my first association of the Rhine. The Rhine and 'man• e•er met in my mind. Later years have ad led the softer tints of legend, poetry, arid romance. German diablerie and Eneltsh poesy have each added ehirms to the picture. The confluence of the Rhine and he M , Nee has long been a fairy spot in my imagirra tien, and here am I about to realise the wish of years." Here, then, eee conclude our notice of a book, which we are sure will meet with many readers and admirers, especially allCl , teg those who are abi,ut to "order their wings" for a flight to Belcium and the Rhine during the; tempting weather. The traveller will find this volume both interes , ine and useful.

THE ART-U.\ lON. The Art- Union of this month contains the most elaborate, faithful, and graphic description that has yet appeared of the Anti-Corn-law Bazaar held at Covent-garden Theatre. The account is profusely illustrated with wood-cuts of the various stalls, and of the choice articles of manufacture displayed at that great national exposition. It is the authentic record of this great event in the commercial history of this great cornint , rcial nation, and as such should be in the hands of every orc who takes an interest in the history of the development of the industrial resources of this country. We have, in addition to this, several valuable papers on the fine arts, and wherever illus tration is needed there it is bestowed with no niggard hand. The present is an excellent Number of this valuable periodical. UNION BANK OF LONDON.—Yesterday the sixth annual meeting of the proprietors of this company was held at their premises, 9, Princes-street, Mansion-house, Alderman Sir Peter Laurie in tho chair. The report stated that the directors bad to con. gra ulate the proprit tors on the general prospects of the company. They had the satisfaction of declaring a dividend of five per cent. per annum, c'ear of Income-tax, on the paid-up capital of the com pany. Pitting the pa-t year the prosperity of the bank, and the in. Crease of its operations in every department, had amply realised the ant,cipations of the directors ; in confirmation of which it might be stated that since June 30, 1843, the current and deposit accounts had inert aced upwards of one million sterling, or more than 100 per cent. in the last two years. The accounts showed that, after payment of ail charges for the establishment and interest to Cus , oiners on their current ar,cl depisit accounts (amounting to :26,004/. 94. 6d.), the unappropriated profit of the past year on June 3il last, was 3 6, 4191 . 15s, 7d. ; so that after the pay meat of the (livid.ud, ant appropriating 5001. as usual, in rt due bon of preliminary expenses, the directors were enabled to add 'lOB5l I2s. 2d. tss the reserved fund, which, with the dividend tilt accrued, would make that fund 20,000/. The preliminary EX !Km,. hail then lurthcr reduced, by the sum of I,OOEI received for fittings at the premises in Moorgate street, which would leave the balance of that acc,nint 13 000/. only. On the motion of the Chairman, secdnited by Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq., d e puty gover ror, the report was adopted, and the dividend declared, Three Otrectors, viz., John Barnes, E-q., John William Sutherland, Esq., and William M •witford Ntbse, Esq., of the Polytechnic Institu tion, retired, in accordance with the deed of settlement, and were unanimcusly reelected.

II minutes after 5 Evening .. 28 minutes after 5 Zealand Company by its directors against the charges of dealing in and selling lands, which subsequent events have proved that they held by no clear title, if by any, is by no means satisfactory—by no means such as will even procure them an acquittal at the bar of public opinion upon the charges loudly pressed against them of bad faith and worse management. The Colonial Go vernment, as it is more exposed to animadversion in a case of this kind from its superior and original powers and jurisdiction, so is it more open to charges reducible into precise and specific form than even the malfeasance of the New Zealand Company. In the infarcy of that concern they ought to have determined finally, and boldly and distinctly acted upon that determination, whether they would occupy New Zealand in virtue of the rights we have mentioned— whether they would raise it to the rank of a Crown colony—or whether they would retain it only in the humbler character of a naval station? If the Government saw its way clearly as to either of these conclusions, it ought, without hesitation, to have dealt with the New Zealand Company on terms and conditions clear and unambiguous—for privileges and grants positive, limited, and ascertained. if it did not, it bad no right, it was conscious of no title, it could plead no excuse, for snaking any bargain, reserving any conditions, or granting any charter, in respect of one part of the millions of acres, told by the score, with which it is now, in some sort, committed to deal at pleasure. But the Govern ment has compromised itself irretrievably, by the very coquetting to which it obviously resorted for the purpose of avoiding the very extremes into which it has at last fallen, instead of at first manfully assuming. The in stant they treated with the New Zealand Company on the footing of a party who had something to grant, they, in all legal construction, took upon themselves the inde fensible duties, as well as rights, of protectorship. That protection they have not afforded to life or limb, property or person, to our fellow-countrymen in New Zealand ; and, if Lord STANLEY imagines that he has acquitted himself, or his colleagues in the Government, of the terrible responsibility that now attaches to them for all the English blood that has been shed in New Zea land, by dexterously-strung official common-places in half-a-dozen epistles from Downing-street, we venture to state that he is most egregiously mistaken. We shall really be curious to learn at what point of hostile collision between English settlers and native chiefs—at what point of national degradation or unresented insults upon our national flag, and the unpunished massacres by wholesale of our distant fellow countrymen by these half-naked savages, her MAJESTY'S Government will feel themselves bound to interpose the authority and the force with which the Constitution has armed them. It will be seen, from communications published in another part of The Sun, that the autho rities of New South Wales had received timely warning of the coming danger, which, unfortunately, was not heeded in time. We are glad to learn that the plan for establishing an asylum for the insane of the middle classes has met with great support, and is likely to be attended with complete success. Its objects have been already well and succinctly stated in an ably-drawn prospectus, de voted to their exposition. After adverting to the gene- ral ameliorations which have been of late years intro. iluced into the treatm e nt, both physical and moral, o that suffering class of our fellow-creatures, who are the victims of the most distressing malady that can afflict sentient beings, this paper very clearly shows that— looking, on the one hand, to the attentions and comforts which the means of rich patients can always command at the hands of the most intelli gent and experienced practitioners ; and, on the other, at the professional skill and the superior internal ar rangements that are provided for the absolutely poor and destitute lunatic or insane in large and well regu lated public establishments, supported by contributions from the public and from individuals ; it is, perhaps, the intermediate class of moderate competencies, or rather of incomes approaching to moderate competencies, who suffer most from the want of asylums, the treatment and accommodation of which could be brought within the reach of their means. " Those who are most conversant with the wants of society," it is remarked, in - the docu ment before us, " are, it is believed, unanimously of opinion that some asylum is urgently needed in the neighbourhood of the metropolis for the reception of per sons of the middle classes only, offering for moderate payments all the comforts suitable to per sons of their habits of life and combining all the advantages and resources enjo3 ed in the best institutions for the classes already provided for, in cluding many improvements in the method of treatment, yet but very partially adopted in private asylums, and quite unknown, perhaps impracticable, in the domestic management of single cases in private residences." We perceive that the provisional committee of management are of opinion, that while the extensive scale on which such an asylum is organised is, per se, a great good (in asmuch as it supplies for the patients a variety of objects capable of attracting attention, exciting interest, and stimulating to exertion and imitation) the principle, carried beyond certain limits, becomes a practical evil. They consider that such an asylum as they now propose to establish should be confined within a capacity for containing from 200 to 400 beds. " The cost of about twenty-five acres of freehold land, with sufficient buildings and every possible provision for contin gencies, is calculated at 30,0001." The subscrip tions and donations proposed for qualifications of governors, members of the Committee of Management, &c., appear to be proposed on a well-considered and easy scale. We have no doubt, now that the Institution has heensoini objectspressiyely ushered int o p u bli c no ti c e, that the benevolent of its promoters will be rapidly and fully accomplished. The public, itself, must feel that they have every guarantee for the bond fide charac ter of an undertaking, for which such a man as Earl SPENCER has given, with his own honoured name, a cer tificate of genuineness and honesty that will pass cur rent among all classes of his countrymen throughout the length and breadth of the land ; to which Lord ASHLEY records the sanction of his own active and sagacious benevolence, honoured and respected as that is far be yond the stormy circles of political and party warfare ; and among whose " Provisional Committee of Manage ment " we find that illustrious physician (for no humbler designation will represent his merits), whose persevering, high-principled, disinterested zeal, and enlightened energy in developing and acting upon the results of his profound study of mental disease, have led to the introduction of a reformed and curative treat ment of insanity in all its phases, which have earned for him an European reputation in the first ranks of con temporary science, and will secure for his memory the gratitude and affectionate respect of posterity. For our parts, we accept the name of Dr. CONOLLY, the peat mover of that new system of treatment which has brought, at last, the maladies of mind under the sana tive application of humanity and sympathy, in the place of brute force and brutalising coercion, as an assurance of all that success and prosperity to the new " Asylum for the Insane " which the prayers of every good man, in the full possessien of his mental faculties, will assuredly implore for it. The Madrid Gazette of the 2d inst. publishes the new contract for 60,000,000 reals per month, entered into by the Government with the bank of San Fernando. Either of the parties is at liberty to annul the agreement at the end of three months on giving due notice. Gibraltar papers an nounce the arrival of General DELARUE in the Titan steamer before Tangiers, accompanied by the Veloce steamer and the brig of war Cygne. The object of the visit was the final arrangement of the treaty between France and Morocco. The Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 30 1 / 2 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents.. at 21 1 / 2 at 60 days. In the Freneh Chamber of Peers the discussion on the Bil for granting 400,000 f. towards the emancipation of colonial slaves gave rise to some remarkable speeches. The grant► it will be admitted by all parties, is very small, only 16,0001., a remarkable contrast to the magificent sum of 20,000,000 f., voted by the British Parliament for a similar purpose; but even that small sum was resisted by the son of the unfortu nate NEY, and by Baron CIIARLES Dun N, who professes liberal and enlightened principles. The Prince DE MosKowA maintained that if the slaves were to procure their freedom otherwise than by their own exertions, they would not value it so highly, and the colony would not possess the same gua rantee for their good conduct—sentiments unworthy a Peer of France. Baron Durnre concurred in the view taken by the Prince, considered the admixture of European workmen would prove a disadvantage to the colonies, and declared his intention to vote against the Bill. The generous speech of the Duke DE BROGLIE ought to have overwhelmed with shame these advocates of slavery. The Noble Duke said " having been president of the Committee which had for a length of time paid particular attention to the slave ques tion, he might be permitted to state that that body had never set forth the privilege of the slave to possess property, and so purchase his freedom, as sufficient to bring about negro emancipation. On the contrary, the report declared in the most formal manner that every system of emancipation that was reduced to such a means would be absolutely illusory. The gradual system, as the Committee understood it, estimated at very nearly nothing the purchase of freedom by the slaves themselves; it was founded principally on the purchase of slaves at the moment of their birth with the money of the State. But even that gradual system was not by any means the one recommended by the Committee, who strongly advised that of simultaneous emancipation at the cost of the State. Now, he would ask, had the Chamber, in voting the Colonial Administration Bill, deprived itself of the power of authorising the Government to have recourse to the public money to complete the measures previously Voted He certainly thought not. If that Bill contained the maximum of what was to bs done to prepare emancipation, he should not hesitate to declare that the Chambers in voting it had done nothing else than establish slavery for ever. The purchase of their own freedom by slaves must be lithited. A similar system had been esta blished in the Spanish colonies nearly two hundred years 1 , 04 and as yet its effects were scarcely perceptible; and with out going to the colonies for an example, he would ask the noble Peers around him to look at France, and estimate the value of a privilege of eny kind Which required a poor day labourer to accumulate a sum of 3,000 f. or 4,000 f. in order to enjoy it. In the colonies the number of those persons who would be able to purchase their own freedom would be exceedingly small, and, for his part, he did not suppose that in twenty years they would exceed 150. He did not make these remarks to depreciate the Bill that had been voted, for he thought it a wise and useful measure in the way of preparation for ultimate emancipa tion, but to prove to the Chamber that the credit of 400,000 f. was absolutely required by the Government to carry out their plans in favour of the negro population. The Govern ment would no doubt use the credit with discretion ; and he had, in conclusion, to pray the Chamber not to suppose that in passing the mere general measure already alluded to nothing else remained to be effected." The cheers which followed these remarks showed that the Chamber took the more humane view of the question. The vote was then put • and adopted. The journals are still occupied with the affair of the Jesuits, but their remarks now possess no interest. The question is settled, and it matters little whether it was done by the POPE or the General of this intriguing body. The Funds on Tuesday continued firm. The Three per Cents. closed on that day at 83f. 40c. ; the New Loan at 83f. 65c. ; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 50c.; Orleans Rail road Shares, 1,147 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,033 f. 75c. ; Vierzon, 752 f. 10c. ; Havre, 847 f. 10c. ; Avignon, 970 f.; Basle, 250 f. ; Spanish Actives, 37%; Diito Three per Cents., 38 ; Ditto Passives, 7 ; Old Deferred Stock, 15 1 / 6 .

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week, ending July .5, was 803, less by 27 than that of the preceding week, and 101 less than the average of five summers. The deaths from diseases of the organs of respiration and violence are, however, considerably above the average. Under the former head they are 240—average, 229 ; and under the latter 38—average, 24. Those caused by small-pox are unusually small, only 7—one person died of the disease at the age of 21, and the remaining six under 10 years. There are 3 suicides, 4 deaths from burns and scalds, and the remaining 31 from accidents. The rain in inches was 0.28. NEW ZEALAND. TO THE EDITO le OF THE SUIT, SlR,—The news from New Zealand, bad as it is, is less disastrous than there was reason to expect. I lett Auckland towards the end of January, in company , with Major Robertson, who conveyed dispatches from Captain Fitzroy to Sir George Gipps, requesting a force of 200 soldiers. Sir George Gipps did me the honour to inquire my opinion of the state of affairs in New Zealand, when I assured him they were most pressing, and that 200 men would be wholly insufficient to keep the natives in subjection, since military aid would be required in a dozen or more places at once, and to divide a small force would be but to invite its certain destruction. A month was suffered to pass over without Sir George Gipps sending the aid required ! When, urged by the recollection of the many friends in New Zealand, who had charged me not to forget their precarious position, I remonstrated with Sir George in a letter published in the Sydney Herald, a copy of which paper I send you. In a conversation I subsequently had with Major Robertson, I understood that the reason a larger force than 200 men would not be sent down to New Zealand was, that no more men had been " asked for" by Governor Fitzroy. After a most unwarrantable delay, the troops were sent down to New Zealand in the North Star, and the attention of your readers is requested to the fact, that had ordinary dispatch only been used, those troops might have reached New Zealand a month earlier than they did. Sir George Gipps advertised for tenders for their freight, and because the offers he received were not so low as he wished them to be, British life and pro perty ie New Zealand were left for a month to the improbable abstinence of large bodies of gloating savages, insolent in their strength, and the comparative weakness of those they were evidently longing to make a " tower" (foray*) upon. 1 again repeat, the heavy expenditure necessary to bring the natives into continued subjection will exceed the sum required to compensate the settlers for removing to some other of the adjoining colonies. New Zealand is lost as a colony, unless a pestilence carry off nine-tenths of the natives, and so render the remainder controllable at a reasonable expense to this country.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, July 9, 1845. ROBERT D'OYLY The following is the letter referred to :-- "TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE GIPPS. " Sir,—At the risk of being even thought impertinent, I cannot resist the inclination of addressing you again on the subject of New Zealand. " I know that your administration of the affairs of this colony is approved of by the leading men in Englard, both Ministerial and Opposition ; but it appears to me, most distinctly, that you are incurring a heavy responsibility by delaying to furnish the military assistance called for by Governor Fitzroy. " At the time Major Robertson left New Zealand, bearing dispatches to your Excellency respecting troops, the position of the European population was becoming daily more precarious. " I am credible informed that within a few days after these dispatches left Auckland, Captain Fitzroy found it expedient to temporise with a native chief and his followers in their threat of plunder, by giving them a horse and other coveted things. Each succeeding day, therefore, must, in my opinion, enh 'nce the difficulties of the New Zealand Government, so long as it remains incapable of suppressing and redressing the native out rage and plunder of Europeans. " Befcre I left the colony, now some six weeks ago, the na tives had been collecting in and about Auckland for several weeks, in large numbers, without any more ostensible object than that of flies hovering around a butcher's stall. To hear, therefore, of their having made a rush at, and emptied the stores, would excite no surprise in my mind. If in such plun • der they should be resisted and any blood be shed, there is no calculating what amount of lives they might sacrifice. " Should such a state of circumstances occur, after the time when troops might have got down to New Zealand, had your Excellency used dispatch, the whole blame will be thrown on you ; arid you will find it difficult to exonerate yourself, it is conceived, before either her Majesty's present or late advisers. " Assuming it probable that you were so, it is no wonder that you should have been disgusted by the hasty return of the troops you sent, some time ago, to the Bay of Islands, or that you should be annoyed and inconvenienced by the ports being thrown open in New Zealand, the sale cf lands at a penny an acre, &c. But your . Excellency must not lose sight of the tact, that Captain Fitzroy is no Lieu enant-Governor I If he send to you for military aid, the Home Government must defray the expenses of such aid. It is not competent for you to say, ' I disapprove of Ca l tam Fitzroy's doings, and will curb or ob struct his unnecessary extravagance.' "To her Majesty's Government alone is Captain Fitzroy amenable for his expenditure. On this point lam most clear, that whether troops are necessary in New Zealand or not, your Excellency cannot justify delay in acceding to the call for military aid on any ground or argument of expenditure. In ability to forward the troops, if it can be shown, wilt prove your sole justification. " I trust your Excellency will excuse this expression of my sentiments, in assurance of the perfect respect entertained for your able government of the colony, by your Excellency's most obedient and very humble servant, " Sydney, March 3."

The Lords did not sit yesterday. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. The Lunatic Asylums and Pauper Lunatics Bill passed through Committee. The standing order 123 relating to Railway Bills was ordered to be suspended for the remainder of the session. On the motion that the Universities (Scotland) Bill be read a second time, Mr. MACAULAY, in a most eloquent speech, supported the measure, and complained of the conduct of the Government in now opposing it, when, by their conduct they had hitherto led the supporters of the measure to understand that they did not object to the Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM defended the conduct of the Govern ment, and said that last year they had resisted a measure exactly similar to the one now before the House. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY commented in severe terms upon the conduct of the free Church of Scotland. He thought it necessary that the Church of Scotland should be connected with the State, and was opposed to the pre sent measure. No new tests had been imposed, but he thought they ought not to do away with the tests which already existed. The House was subsequently addressed by Sir G. Grey, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Pringle, Mr. C. Buller, the Lord Advocate, Mr. P. M. Stewart, Sir R. Peel, and Lord J. Russell, when the House divided, and there ap peared for the Motion, 108 ; Against it, 116 ; Majority against the motion, S. Mr. WATSON then moved that the House go into Com mittee on the Catholic Relief Bill, which was negatived by a majority of 42. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One. The last news of New Zealand will scarcely remove the impression which so generally attaches to the his tory of that colony in the public mind—that it is the victim of a singular fatality, or of egregious mal-adminis tration. By brief advices that have just reached Eng land, we learn that, in a conflict between the boat's crew of one of her MAJESTY'S ships, in company with a small party of troops, with the natives, more than a hundred of the New Zealanders, and from eighteen to twenty of our own people, had perished. If, after the massacre of Wairau, we are little surprised at, we do not the less deplore, this lamentable catastrophe. It would have been strange indeed—an anomaly offered to the experience of all European communications with the barbarous, or even the semi-civilised, tribes of the Southern and the South Pacific Ocean—if the moral influence of such a cunningly-contrived and successfully. accomplished movement as that which resulted in the caption and murder of the `• Nelson" party, including Major WAKEFIELD and his unfortunate companions, had not urged on the dusky compatriots of those who triumphed at Wairau to slake once more their thirst for the blood of the strangers. However land-jobbing missionaries, or jobbing land companies, may qualify the fact, the fact, we have no doubt, remains an absolute one, that the New Zealander, though he be a tall, a stalwart, and even an intelligent islander, is yet a sanguinary savage. Ages have passed away without witnessing any material mitigation of the " ferocity" principle, that forms, after all, the fond of his character. It seems the most unlikely thing in the world, that more ages should not elapse before they can be reclaimed from the indulgence of their sanguinary tastes (to say nothing of their predatory tendencies)— . _ so long, that is, as they shall remain under the paternal jurisdiction of the Colonial-office in Downing -street. But let us speak more earnestly of the matter, meagre as is the narrative we yet have of it, lest we should be thought to speak with levity of another catastrophe at this ill-fated settlement in which sa many valuable lives, English and native, have been suddenly and violently sacrificed. We do most earnestly direct the attention of the public to the amount of human misery, bereavement of property, blighting of hopes, and loss of life, which have mourn fully recorded the different stages of the colony's brief existence. Assiduously excited and wickedly exagge rated expectations in the mother country—disappointed hopes and ruined prospects—poverty, peril, and death, in the fertile but inhospitable solitudes of the island— these have been the sad alternations through which the investment purchasers here, and the deluded emi grants there, have successively passed. With whom rests all the tremendous responsibility, the ulti mate atonement, for these deplorable incidents ? The question is more easily asked than answered, more readily answered than satisfied. The Government de partment charged with the general supervision, economy, and management of its state and fiscal administration, may be prepared with specious grounds of accusation against the " Monster" Land Company that had set in motion a vast machinery of contracts for bargain, and sale, and settlement, without having an ascertained title of feasible proprietorship to ten acres out of every two hundred comprehended within the enormous block they called their own. The Monster Land Company treated with and petted—favoured and doubted alternately—now tampered with, and now discarded by the Government— patronised to-day, and cold-shouldered to-morrow, by the Downing-street functionaries, and especially by the great `• Lord" of (colonial) " misrule," might turn round with at least as good a case upon the QUEEN'S Ministers, and on their beads charge all the mischiefs and destruction, the bankruptcies and the bloodshed, that have illustrated in New Zealand the halting, timid, miserable counsels of successive Governments, afraid to assert the clear and undoubted title of prior possession and occupancy against other States ; alarmed at the suggestion of at any rate extending the shield of British Government protection over a community of British subjects settled in that dis tant region ; and unequal to the laborious but honour able duty of upholding the inviolable rights of life and property for free Britons in any and every part of the habitable world. The present is not the opportunity for going into the important inquiry how, and in what proportions, the distressing responsibility we speak of should be divided between Downing-street and Broad street-buildings.

There are no arrivals to-day with later news, although we have Ship letters from Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, the Mauritius, &c. The second sale of tea by Keeling and Hunt, on the new plan of putting up single chest lots, to suit the retail dealers, brought, a fuller attendance of the latter, a sign it is presumed of the eventual success of the at tempt, which is identified in some measure with the exten• sion of free-trade principles. We are informed that, in order to give the plan a full trial, several parcels of tea are being forwarded from London in bond to different parts of the coast, as well as by railway conveyance, to be sold on the same principle, in those towns where the market is not likely to be influenced by the peculiar position of the London trade. The teas offered at the sale now referred to, were of a supe rior dais to those at the former auction, and comprised the most useful and choice kinds. The sales of Money Stock have been continued again to day to a sufficient extent to keep down the value of Consuls, which for Money are 99 to 1,4, and for Time 99%. The market, however, is by no means flat ; and, after the first arrangements usual upon the re-opening of the transfer books are over, there is expected to be a rally. The fact that above 40 , 0001 . of stock will be weekly cancelled through the operation of the Sinking Fund, which is very different from a mere transfer from one party to another, is in favour of the market at the present time, when money is more abandant than stock, and it is fortu nate that railway investments offer so many safe outlets. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 102% %, and the Three per Cents. 99% %. Exchequer-bills have been 565. to 575. premium. There is very little doing in the Foreign investments. Spanish Five per Cents. are steady at. 27%, and the Three per Cents. 38 1 4 %; Portuguese Converted are firm at 65 3 / 4 ; Mexican have been lower, viz. 37 to 36% ; Brazilian are up to 91 ; Dutch Two-anal- a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 62. The Share Market is not very brisk, but still we have to notice a good general business. Cambridge and Lincoln have touched 5 ; London and York have declined to 314 ; Bristol and Exeter, Birmingham and Brighton, tend upwards. Midland have been as high as 190; North Kent are down 1 4 I disc:)unt. The Foreign lines are heavy. FOREIGN RAILWAYS. Bordeaux,Toulouse, and ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.
