" Preparatory to the meeting I bad appointed a levee to be held at Mr. Basby's house at eleven o'clock, to which I invited all the principal European inhabitants, the members of the Church of Eit4arid and Catholic missions, and all the officers of thie r : It, and was highly gratified to find that nearly every oillA either here or in the neighbourhood, favoured me witblieir attendance. " Soon after twelve I proceeded : 4o the tent, sup ported by Captain Nias and hitt'ofrieers, Mr. Busby, the late resident, the members of the Church Missionary Society, the French Bishop, therotiers of the Govern ment, and all the principal EuropeasLinhabitants, &c., in procession, and took my seat nilit raised platform, surrounded by the gentlemen, iti,thOdme order as they had accompanied me. 'in theiitkisf the area, within the tents, the chiefs seated themselves upon the ground, leaving a space around them for the Europeans. The whole spectacle produced a roost imposing effect. " The business of the meeting then commenced by my announcing to the chiefs the objects of my mission, and the reasons that had induced her Majesty to ap point me. I explained to them in the fullest manner ,he effect that might be hoped to result from the watt ;ure, and I assured them in the most fervent manner _,hat they might rely implicitly on the good faith of her Majesty's Government in the transaction. I then read the treaty, a copy of which I have the honour to en close ; and in doing so I dwelt on each article, and offered a few remarks explanatory of such passages as they might be supposed not to understand. Mr. H. Wil liams, of the Church Missionary Society, did me the favour to interpret, and repeated in the native tongue, sentence by sentence, all I said. " When I had finished reading the treaty, I invited the chiefs to ask explanations on any point they did not comprehend, and to make any observations or remarks on it they pleased. Twenty or thirty chiefs addressed the meeting, five or six of whom opposed me with great violence, and at one period with such effect, and so cle verly, that I began to apprehend an unfavourable im pression would be produced. At this crisis the Ho kianga chiefs, under Neni and Patawoni, made their appearance, and nothing could have been more season ble. It was evident, from the nature of the opposition, that some underhand influence had been at work. The chiefs Revewah and Jakahra, who are followers of the Catholic Bishop, were the principal opposers, and the arguments were such as convinced me they had been prompted. Revewah, while addressing me, turned to the chiefs, and said,' Send the man away, do not sign the paper ; if you do, you will be reduced to the condi tion of slaves, and be obliged to break stones for the roads. Your land will be taken from you, and your dig nity as chiefs will be destroyed.' " At the first pause Neni came forward, and spoke with a degree of natural eloquence that surprised all the Europeans, and evidently turned aside the tem porary feeling that had been created. He first ad dressed himself to his own countrymen. desiring them to reflect on their own condition, to recollect how much the character of New Zealanders had been exalted by their intercourse with Europeans, and how impossible it was for them to govern them selves without frequent wars and bloodshed ; and he concluded his harangue by strenuously ad vising them to receive us, and to place confidence in our promises. He then turned to me, and said,' You must be our father—you must not allow us to become slaves—you must preserve our customs, and never per mit our lands to be wrested from us.' One or two other chiefs who were favourable followed him in the same strain, and one reproached a noisy fellow, named Ki tigi, of the adverse party, with having spoken rudely to me. Kitigi, stung by reo; Irk, sprang forward, and violently by the hand, and I received the sa lute apparently with equal ardour. This occasioned among the natives a general expression of applause, and a loud cheer from the Europeans, in which the natives joined, and thus the business of the meeting closed, fur ther consideration of the question being adjourned to Friday, at eleven o'clock, leaving, as I said, one clear day to reflect on my proposal. " Feb. 6, 1840. " At ten o'clock this morning it was announced to me that the chiefs, being impatient of further delay, and per fectly satisfied with the proposals I had made them, were desirous at once to sign the treaty, that they might return to their homes. The further consideration of the ques tion had been adjourned from the sth to the 7th ; but to have refused this request would probably have ren dered nugatory the whole proceeding, by the dispersion of the tribes before they had attested their consent by their signatures. I therefore assembled the officers of the Government, and with Mr. Busby and the gentlemen of the missionary body, 1 proceeded to the tents, where the treaty was signed in due form by 46 head chiefs, in presence of at least 500 of inferior degree. .6 As the acquiescence of the chiefs, 26 of whom had signed the declaration of independence, must be deemed a full and clear recognition of the sovereign rights of her Majesty over the northern parts of this i,land, it will be announced by a salute of 21 guns, which I have arranged with Captain Nias shall be fired from this ship to-morrow. " In the course of this proceeding I have courted the utmost publicity, and I have forborne to adopt even the customary measure of propitiating the consent of the chiefs by presents or promises ; and not until the treaty had been signed did I give them anything. To have sent them home without some ac knowledgment would have been a violation of their customs, and would have given offence ; I therefore distributed among them a few articles of tiifling value before they separated. " It is my intention next week to visit Hokianga, and I hope to obtain the adherence of such of the chiefs of that district as were not present at Waitangi. (Signed) W. HOBSON.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which arc sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultinustely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Messrs. C O VENTRY and S HA DWELL held teir Courts on Saturday at Jack Straw's Castle, Hampstehad- heath. Mr. COVENTRY revised the Lists for Hornsey, High gate, and Willesden, and Mr. SHADWELL the Hamp stead and Fidchley Lists. (Before Mr. SHADWELL.) Mr. Alderman Harmer was objected to by the Tories on the ground of change of resider.ce, his place of abode being stated in the Register to be " H a tton-garden." Mr. Coppock admitted the A lderman had given up his business in Hatton-garden, but he still had his letters and papers sent there. Mr. SHADWELL expunged the name. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) A 6 ' GRAVE" CASE. Thos. Sadleir was objected to by the Reformers, He had given his place of residence in High-street, Wisbeach. Mr. braes observed that on a former occasion Mr. Sadleir's name was in the Hornsey List ; his residence was stated to be High-street, Highgate, and his qualifi cation a freehold. Upon inquiry, however, it turned out that the " freehold" was a freehold grave in the Highgate-church -yard, and as the occupying tenant could not be proved, the name _was expunged.— (Laughter.) The following year a new claim.was sent in by Mr. Sadleir, for a house in High-street, High gate, as the occupying tenant. The rental not having been proved to be 50/., the claim was again disallowed. H:gb,street, Wisbeach was now given as the address of Mr. Sadleir, which was shown to be a fictitious ad dress, by the letters sent there through the Post-office having been returned. Personal service on Thos. Sad leir, in High-street, Highgate, was then proved, and Mr. James called upon the overseer to produce the claim. The Overseer stated that he believed it to be in the handwriting of Mr. Sadleir, as described of High street, Highgate. Mr. COVENTRY said that the handwriting of the claim having been identified to be that of Mr. Saddler, of High-street, Highgate, and he having been personally served, the name must be expunged. Lewis Sneyd, of All Souls' College, Oxford, was ob. jeeted to by the Liberals. Mr. Burnard proved service of notice on Mr. Sneyd's servant, at his residence, in All Souls' College. No person appearing to support his claim the name was struck off. The following is the result of Saturday's proceedings : its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

C H RO NIC LE —The continued unfavourable state of the foreign exchanges begins to be seriously felt, and the Bank Directors have intimated to the brokers not to press their paper on them. Money is, in conse quence, tight to-day in Lombard-street, and the rates have been raised to 5 per cent., and commission on bills at three and four months. We hear that the paper of some of the leading ca pitalists was thrown out yesterday by the Directors. This is said to have been done in return for the ab straction to a considerable amount of gold from the coffers of the Bank for remittance on foreign account ; and, under the circumstances of the case, we cannot blame the Bank parlour for being cautious, and even stringent, in their course of business. A large amount has been drawn upon London from Russia against shipments of hemp and tallow, which adds to the unfavourable course of the foreign ex changes. The payment of the October dividends will soon af ford relief to the Money Market, but we believe they have been considerably anticipated during the shutting, and the feeling is, that a tight demand for money may be expected. Our exclusive policy has raised up a ri val school of manufactures on the Continent, and the markets of the United States are in consequence gene rally choked with our goods. The Government have been laudably employed in finding fresh vent for our products, by opening up the field of colonisation, and much may be done in that way ; but the sore remains deep-seated at home, and will press upon our native in dustry, until the proper remedy is applied to the root of the evil, by throwing open the ports of this country to the agricultural productions of Europe. At present, however, we see no good grounds fer expecting the early consummation of such an auspicious change in our commercial policy. But, notwithstanding the heavy obstacles which our manufacturers have to strug gle with, owing to the restrictive insulated policy which is maintained by our Legislature, it is gratif3ing to observe that the accounts from the manufacturing dis tricts are rather cheering, and speak of a revival of trade. Captain Reynolds entered the room first, when the Judge-Advocate said—" Inform the Earl of Cardigan the Court is formed," when the Earl came in and took his seat. The Judge-Advocate then called Major Jenkins, who, on being sworn, was examined. Are you a Major in the 11th Hussars ?—I am. Arc you aware of a statement said to be written by you, and signed by Lieutenant Cunningham, addressed to Captain Reynolds ?—Yes. Under what circumstances did you obtain that state ment ?—Mr. Cunningham came to my room on the Ist of September and asked me to intercede with Lord Cardigan with regard to what be said to Captain Rey nolds, as he was afraid that he (Lord Cardigan) would be angry with him. How did you obtain that statement ?—I asked for the paper, that there might be no mistake, and he signed it, being previously acquainted with the circum stances of the case. Judge Advocate—Did you receive any application from Lieutenant Cunningham for a copy of-that state ment?—On the day of the opening of this court•martial I said Lord Cardigan had it, and that I would ask him for it ; he also wrote to me for it by his servant, and I enclosed a copy in an envelope and gave it to hint. I addressed it to him before the court-martial commenced. Who did you give the manuscript to ?—I gave it to his servant myself. It came to me on the Ist of Sep tember, but I do not exactly know when the statement was written, because he came to me more than once. Did you give any particular direction to the servant as to the delivery of the letter ?—No. Judge Advocate.—An explanation is all we want. The President addressed the Earl of Cardigan, and said that the prosecution and defence had both closed, Major Jenkins having been previously called in in ex planation. henry Bird was then called and sworn. Judge Advocate.—Are you a servant to Lieutenant Cunningham ?—Yes. Were you directed by Lieutenant Cunningham to go to Major Jenkins for him for an answer to a letter ?—Yes ; he told me to go on Tuesday last, but I will not be certain ; I think it was on that day. Did you go more than once 2—No, I did not. Did the court-martial sit on the day you went ?—Yes, it did. POST.—The money market has been in a state of increasing alarm and difficulty throughout the whole of the present day. In the early part of the morning the value of Consols was affected, but not extensively, by reports of the rapid efflux of the bullion of the Bank of England, and the probability of a violent contraction of the currency being very near at hand, the lower con tinental exchanges having compelled the Directors to refuse the bills of first.rate parties when offered for dis count yesterday afternoon. The market for Consols was, however, relieved from this cause of depression by the revelation from well-informed quarters of the erroneous tendency of these reports, the Di rectors of the Bank of England having refused no discounts to those who really required money for firm mercantile purposes, although it does appear that, notwithstanding the bullion is reasonably sufficient in the vaults of the Bank of England, it is not so supei abundant that the Directors should not exercise some discretion in taking in enormous masses of bills from parties whose waggons may be standing at the door of the institution, for the direct purpose of carrying away the boxes of bullion for shipment to the Continental ports. Excepting to one or two parties, whose business it is, in the words of the late Mr. Rothschild, •' to lend money to foreign nations without caring what they do with it"—as for the military chests of either the friends cr enemies of their country—we believe that no refusals whatever of discounts were yesterday experienced at the Bank. Consols were beginning to recover their cheerful appearance, when the arrival of a Second Edition of the Morning Journals, with the intelligence of the de struction of Beyrout, created a scene of the utmost confusion on the Stock Exchange. Without waiting for the slightest examination of the probabilities of the truth of this intelligence, some of the most emi nent of the jobbers rushed into the market in a panic-stricken condition of mind, and in the course „. ULCO 413, Itaii in consul. wus how 011 to 86, even at which quotation large amounts of stock were still offered for sale. No further pur chasers appearing, the jobbers had time to reflect upon the intelligence from France, and, as the bom bardment of Beyrout is described in the French telegraphic accounts to have, occupied a period of nine days, the wonder began to grow how so long a time should have been allowed to elapse before the despatch of any steam-vessel with intelligence so im portant to the French Government as the commence ment of active hostilities,in the East. This was, how ever, attempted to be reconciled by the supposition that nine days bad been erroneously telegraphed in stead of only nine hours, which may have been the duration of the bombardment of Beyrout. But even this version of the bombardment was not quite satis factory to the jobbers, who now commenced with equal avidity to buy back their stock, Consols consequently rising rapidly again. At what hour did you go to Major Jenkins, and when did you return ?—I Went to Mqjor Jenkins at half-past eleven o'clock, and returned to my master im mediately after with the letter, but I could not find him. When did you give it to Lieutenant Cunningham ? At half-past three o'clock, when I brought the cab to take Captain Reynolds away. What instructions had you from Lieutenant Cunning ham relative to the letter he sent you for to Major Jenkins ?—To bring the letter back to him immediately. Can you recollect whether it was the day before yes terday ? Here the Court was ordered to be cleared. Upon the public being re-admitted into court, the Lieutenant Cunninghan's servant was re-called, and asked the following questions : Did you hold any conversation with any other per son before you gave it to your master ?—No. Did you ask any person about the Court where Lieu•. tenant Cunningham was ?—I asked se►eral persons. 'rile inquiry having terminated, and the defence con• eluded, the Earl of Cardigan said he should be prepared with his reply on Monday morning. The Judge-Advocate then closed the Court, and said it would be opened on that morning at nine o'clock when the Earl would make his reply. CAPTAIN REYNOLDS'S CASE. We have. not yet before us the cnneba. At ttr rout-1.-maids - , tine uui upprehenston is that the Court, in refusing to listen to evidence not directly bearing on the charge, will, in effect, exclude the circumstances of provocation, excusing or palliating the offence of Cap tain Reynolds' letter to his commanding officer. The question was put by Captain Reynolds to Major Cooper— Have you ever known me to try to allay the irritable feelings of other officers in the regiment, and persuade them from acts which would be regarded as insubordinate ?—Yes, I know two ; in two remarkable instances, one of which was when a lie had been given by one officer to the other. " Here the witness was stopped, and the Court con sulted together, when the President observed that the Court had already decided that they could not enter upon any extraneous matter, and they should not travel out of the immediate charge before them." In all cases—in the classes of crimes the most seri ous—circumstances of provocation are admitted in evi dence to explain the character of the act. Even in offences of blood, the irritation of the homicide and its causes are taken into account, and they are considered in determining the shade of guilt. For example, if Lord Cardigan had killed Captain Tuckett with the pistol which he supposed and deposed not to be rifled nor hair-triggered, but which appears on the evidence of a gunsmith to have been both, would the court trying him confine itself to the point whether he aimed the ball at the body of Captain Tuckett, refusing to admit any evidence as to the causes that led to the hostile encounter ? The second letter of Captain Reynolds to Lord Car digan we cannot approve, but we do not believe that such a letter could have been written by any gentleman (hearing such a character as Captain Reynolds does bear,) who had not been goaded to desperation by a series of ill-usage. The defence of Captain Reynolds was most effective, excellent in reasoning and spirit. It has won general sympathy and general admiration, but yet we cannot pretend to be confident about the issue. Should the result of the court-martial be adverse to Captain Reynolds, the pleasing duty will devolve on Lord Hill of disposing of a commission, and he will of ' course look out for some officer reprimanded for tyran nical conduct, on whom to bestow it. Fault may be found with Lord Hill's administration —we ourselves have presumed to impugn it—but we must in candour admit that it is marked with a strict consistency, and especially in all relating to the 11th Hussars and Lord Cardigan. Having restored Lord Cardigan to a command after having strongly censured him, the Commander in-Chief appoints to the district in which Lord Car digan serves en luspccaug-General who bas also been severely reprimanded for misconduct to an in ferior officer. In this there is a concord. As a fellow. feeling proverbially makes reen kind, there was every cause for the finest harmony between General Sleigh and Lord Cardigan. The first Captain had not the good fortune to have been reprimanded, but the very first opportunity of placing: his commission in jeopardy has been seized. For Lord Hill's consistency some member of a noble family who has undergone censure should be found to fill Captain Reynolds' place. The other Captain Reynolds is already in the suitable con dition of a reprimanded officer. Mr. Forrest is reported to be so also ; and when all the officers of the 11th have in due course suffered the same lot, Lord Cardigan will be at case, as there will then be a uniformity ex tending beyond the mere dress and accoutrements of the corps. When George IV. threw a glass of wine into the face of a 'gentleman who sat nex flue t d at table, the courtier c oolly tilled his o wn glass ang it into the face of his neighbour on the other side, saying, " Isauspsep7anidt is to go round . " In the 11th we suppose the reprimand is to go round , the Colonel's mark is to be p supp assed, woe to him who holds out against taking it. Happy arc those officers who fall by some uncon scious transgression under the lash. Had the senior Captain Reynolds a moath or two ago drank Moselle from a black bottle, his case would have been much better—he wo uld have been re p ri manded for some reply, like that of his namesake, and there an end. There is an assumption of the most impertinent kind in an officer's piquing himself on fifteen years of uninter rupted meritorious service, when the Colonel in com ,ehnerimcoaunrdtitevrisll orfeatdheaswwreyl-ln)ecan not d boast (the a s Colonel m uc i n rih r mrnarch knew better than to carry their heads straight.

HER ALD.—It seems highly probable that the dispo sition so lately prevalent of competition for precedence of news from the East Indies by the overland mail through private sources, will receive a check, as yesterday's ac counts from Paris state that the Government had issued an order interdicting the running of couriers from Mar seilles except on official business. This will do much for the commercial c ommunity, who have hitherto been kept in a state of suspense by the announcement of vague information 36 hours prior to the receipt of their regular despatches through the ordinary channel. With reference to Spanish Treasury Bonds, it appears, upon a careful perusal of the conditions under which they were issued, and the decrees con firming them, that the Ambassadors, as the represen tatives of their Government, are personally liable. It is singular that not one of the bondholders has ever tried the question, and the omission can only be accounted for by the supposition, that having lost so touch by them already, they are unwilling to risk any more. A verdict, no doubt, would be obtained, but whether the damages could, is very problematical. This is the first instance of any Treasury Bills, (even Spanish), whether made payable at Cuba, Porto Rico, or Madrid, being left overdue, and unredeemed, but as poor John Bull is the holder, this is considered to be a sufficient excuse for non-pnyment. The amount due upon these bills is but trifling in comparison with the remainder of the debt. Taking this into conside ration, with the solemnity of the promises under which they issued, if Spain ever wish to regain her former honour, or to take the rank again which she once held among the nations of Europe, let her immediately fulfil her engagements with respect to these bills. Some hope may then be entertained that honesty is not Quite extinct. TIMES.—The expectation of some stringent mea• sures on the part of the Bank still prevails, and to-day it is again reported, more currently than before, that discount has been refused to some bills of the very first class. The Directors, in addition to other causes of disquiet which various circumstances have combined to produce, are said to have this constantly before them — that they cannot expect any further assistance from the Bank of France under the aspect which the relations with that country have assumed. Whether the present state of things shall terminate in war or not, they are certain, too, that the preparations made for that con tingency, especially by France, must lead to an instant demand for money and increase of its value all over Europe. Why the Bank should entertain so great a dread of this, is not very apparent, but it is certain that of late the very mention of a foreign loan has been enough to bring on a cold fit in a Bank Director. This ought not to be, if they conducted their business properly, for the few years following the passage of Peel's Bill were the period in which the greatest number ever known here of foreign loans was made ; yet no inconvenience followed from them at the time, and some of them turned out most profitable transactions, having been repaid at an advance of from 20 to 30 per cent. on the contract price. When the Bank went astray from the prudent and regular course, then loans of a different kind were concocted, and the taint thence inflicted is still perceived. As to a resort to the Bank of France, it is a matter of congratulation that the Directors cannot, if they would, adopt that course ; and if it be true, as alleged, that they are endeavouring to act on the circulation by contracting their discounts, it is by far the more legiti mate mode, as at present situated , for them to pursue. Thought it may save therm from the more pressing diffi culty, it will not set them right with the public. A Government Bank, with a monopoly, should always have as large funds at the disposal of commerce as mthier s chants in really credit can call for ; Le er od? they should *tie encumbered with no su ch securities as t h e .6 dead weight" and other inconvertible assets. .Th e y would probably now like to dispose ef it , if the y cif preachers, but siTe E hU e n r ev e e n r ce a could ; but such has been their course with respect to the dead weight, that when they-•+-L'ERIEN t want to sell they can't, and when there is a market they turn away the largest Mirror. li:rgtheecmonozatulealotiqoune.l (From the Hampshire 'Telegraph.) co l n ' i o n it la T I.slckieloru Shepherd,Ti- r, OcT a 3 rrTv: r d ili' on Sl N" ) % a r r e r Ze l s 'a d w av k : fro l6 ;r . .

The following letter, dated the 9.6 th ult., has been addressed by Madame Laffarge to M. Paillet : lam unwilling to mingle one tear with the enjoy meuts of your reunion with your family ; but the un fortunate Mark cannot resist sending to her noble de fender a token of her remembrance —her benediction. Oh ! think, I entreat you, of the good you have done me, an do not regret your failure in that which you eloquenceouglit to H h a a s v hav e tailed c ff, If w .. crank and sublime In fr d d estroying the malignant and in veterate prejudices of some, it has found responsive echoes in exalted minds, in pure and simple hearts ; and, althotigh I may be ultimately condemned, shall I not owe to you the consolation of being loved and mourned by these ? I will not represent to you all I have suffered—the despair of my mind, the doubts of my soul—l had no hope of escaping from future mi sery, no prayers fur my present grief —man overwhelmed me, and God seemed to have forgotten me. lam not, however, dead, and since I must resume my cross I am resolved to bear it worthily—to be strong in my friends and in my own innocence—to carry my bead erect, and my heart firm, although under the yoke of iniquity. While I was sinking, they recovered rue by talking of our appeal. Ido not ask you to assist me in obtaining it, but I request that you will direct the measures to be taken herr. M. Raspail has had long conkrences with the chemists of Limoges, and his con vietien has been rendered an hundred times stronger by the expresion of theirs.
