would in all probability work woes, in New Zinn then in
any other eidony, because nomination had Men mewed
odious in New Zeeland. When tbe egg bee. bonnet
stated the content, of his bill, he w delighted to boor that
he intended to Front the waste lands to the (general As-
eembly of New Zealand: oa reeding thesngh this bill he
was excessively disappointed at finding get this grant was
clogged with • con•tiosi which would feeder it nearly

was, that in respect of all sales of waste MEd, the sum of
Ss. for each acre should be paid to the New Zeeland Com-
pany, until the sum M 268,01.001., with interest at the yearly
rate of ai per cent., should be paid. If the clause contain.
ing this condition paned, a great injustice would be done
to the widen in New Zealand, and the New Zealand
Compasy would acquire a valuable property, to which he
did not consider them to be entitled. He would now proceed
to consider what ought to be the forme( government in New
Zealand. In giving a constitution to a colony, the wishes
of the colonists should be taken into consideration, though
not absolutely deferred to, especially when a colony bad not
had any experience in self-government. Now, what were
the wishes of the inhabitants of New Zealand ? They had
to a certain exteut expressed their opinion. TM house
would remember that is the year 1840 they gave sew tea-
stitutions to the Annie seen& During the debates
which thence arose the Mweity of milonial ommiemises
was discussed at length, leeportant elestioes woes proposed

In the three chief settlement of Mew gothei the tow
tion what ought to be the hornet that teams essistitatioa
was much discussed towards the elms of the year 1830; and
petitions and memorials evening the wishes of the set-
tlers were to be found in the gegen nig Mg bee me-
muted to parliament. First, Math Othettat, Mks seethes
at Auckland was very numemesly lige& otheideift the
number of the population of the esetienient, with however
is the largest one is New Zeinsd. The
_petitiomrs
stated that the meetitiatisa whin be (Sk W. Mules
worth) hail eshmielei le the been o weld not
oaly be smiling to the sionsities, bat would
prove the an grateful concession to • free and
loyal people." The petitioners, however, stated that, in their
opinion, New Zealand should be divided into two separate
and quite Ante colonies; and, if it was to be divided
at all, this was the division which he should propose. But
he agreed with the expressed opinious of the settlers of
Wellington and Nelson, that New Zealand should form only
one colony. Hee* sated at some length from the dif-
ferent reports and in which those opinions were
expressed, the hem member went on to say that from
these facts he was entitled to infer, first, that
the majority of the settlers in New Zeeland, including the
heutenant-govereer, were of opinion that New Zealand
should Ibres one esisay with one legislature, or at most
should bo divided lag,two distinct colonies, altogether
la-
depe •edent ▪ ormadly, that they condemned the system of
prowled"! higliseeres, and are of opinion that municipali-
ties should be established, with powen to elect their
corporate Mere and to make bye laws upon spe-
cific au*" and that more municipalities should
be sekWood, not by the imperial parliament,
but Its the colonial legislature. He must also re-
peat the the governor-in-chief of New Zealand was of
melee that the proemial commit should have the consti-
tutive Na hop meicipality, which had the power of
dieting Its era olepente neers and of detenninieg their
salaries. The whim of the itemise seemed to
him very remenable. Why should they not be
complied with ; they could be complied with, and
without dignity or departure hem precedent, whereas the
