a creation of wealth. The only difference is that
one sort of machinery has been nod instead of
another. For this reason, therefore, we do not
regard with apprehension the formation of the new
companies that have been recently established. As
a role, they have merely developed to an increased
extent an existing class of enterprise, or they have
entered upon new and hitherto neglected fields.
Some writers on financial enterprise appear
to have two weights and two measures.

An individual trader who strikes out • new path
receives the highest commendation ; but if • joint-
stock company is the agency employed, the whole
thing is in some quarters very coldly looked upon.
The idea, in fact, seems to be that progress is all
' very well so far as it goes, but to be of real benefit
should be limited to only one small class of the
community—the great capitalists.
Still, although we have no fears as to the recent
creation of new companies, it is satisfactory to ob-
serve that the movement is for a time
suspended. Time will be required to develop
fully all these modern institutions, however satis-
factory their prospects may appear to be. In all
matters of trade the great desideratum is the union
of caution with enterprise. Of enterprise we
have lately had enough, and the other quality is
now most to be considered. First and last,
there is always the danger of a mania to be
averted. Nothing can be more detrimental to
the interests of a nation than a rabid speculation
which preys upon the weaker classes, the stronger
being shrewd enough to take care of themselves.
There appear no signs of such a calamity
at present. Thus far the British public
have in the main invested their capital well,
but looking at the number of ephemeral pro-
jects which low class promoters are continually pre-
senting to them, they will do Wisely to restrict
their support, as in • great degree they have
already done. The temptation of fictitious pre-
Ball= might, however, over-ride all dictates of
prudence, and therefore we have the more reason
to be satisfied that the general process of
company-making is arrested at the precise point
where it ceases to do good, and might at no
distant period do considerable eviL

It is understood that the Conservatives intend
to bring forward immediately in the House of
Commons a vote of want of confidence in the
administration.

LATEST INTELLIGENCL

ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND
MAIL

By the Overland Mail we have received advioes
from Calcutta to the Bth of May, and from Madras
to the 14th, from China to the 29th of April, from
Melbourne to the 25th of April, and from New
Zealand to the 18th of April.
INDIA.
The Madras Athena.= says :

The most prominent event of the fortnight has been the
publication of a general order of his Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief, announcing a fresh redaction of the
Madras Native Army, which it had been rumoured for
some time put was about to take place ; the 42nd,
43rd, and 44th Regiments have been selected as
three of those to be broken up, and, the fourth
is the 18th Regiment, which has fallen into dis-
grace on amount of the robbery of the government
cash chest at Cannanore, with the guardianship of which a
small portion of the body was entrusted. The *Tidier*
brought forward against them, unhappily, leans no doubt
on the mind of his excellency as to the gain of the parties
in quietism, and Sir Hope Grant also tells u that "the in-
vestigation has further brought to light the existence of
three, if not four, gangs of thieves, in the 18th Regiment,"
who certainly were well deserving of punishment after trial
and conviction.

CHINA.

The 01'r/slid China Mail of April 29 states :

Colonel Gordon has recovered from his wound, end in
again in the field. On the 11th inst. be attacked
the rebels at • place called Witieoo, where they
were strongly entrenched and somewhat numerous.
The colonel began by shelling the position, and they began
to retreat. Gordon then gave orders to charge
them, which was done by the imperial troops,
who seem to be rather powerful M pursuing
an enemy. The reports state that the Teepings were
rather severely cat up, the line of retreat being literally
" strewed with dead." Previous to the action the Taepinp
mustered over 15,000 strong, while the imperialists were
not more than 10,000. The imperialist troops next made a
move upon Chang.chow.foo, which city they were basin.
lug. The seven oaken reported as missing were found
dead, and their bodies have been duly interred.
The China Mail also says :

So far as ire can Imam the dispersed Tamp lags have
begun to disappear entirely from the districts of country
upon which they have hitherto been preying, and very
'Allele now left f"r the imperialists to achieve. At pre-
sent they are besieging Chang-chow-foo, a city of consider-
able strength, and believed to be packed with •
strong body of the original Taepieg rebel,. Besides
this city there are only other two in posses-
sion of the itsurgente, and these are so widely apart from
each other that their surrender may moan be expected. The
cities referred to are Nanking and Hoo-chow-foo, the former
beteg the Taeping headquarter, and the latter situated on
the south of the Tae-boo Lake. To all appearance the
origin of the Taeping rebellion is simply • work of time,
sad it has been affirmed that four months more will put
an end to it.

far, and twenty-six prisoners, many of them
wounded,were in our hands. Out of these, only 14
dead were found in the p► By one of the prisoners
It was stated that Bawl was shot in the thigh be-
fore leaving the pa, and on crossing over the Punio
river he was again shot in the abdomen. His body
was said to be lying in the swamp, and the Bri-
gadier-General offered a reward of ,10/. to any
soldier who might bring it in. Our casualties
during the engagement were 16 killed and 52
wounded.

From the Taranaki district, the news received
during the month shows that our troops have had
two encounters with the natives in that quarter.
In the first they were obliged to retire, and in the
second were completely defeated.
The more serious affair took place on Wednesday,
the 2nd of March. The accounts respecting it are
vague, and in some instances oonflicting ; but the
following is substantially correct, so far as it goes :
Captain Lloyd received orders to take a hundred
men, and proceed on the following morning to
reconnoitre in the neighbourhood of Ahuahu.
When they turned to come back, the natives and-'
denly appeared about 100 yards off, and opened a
heavy fire on them, advancing at the same time.
Captain Lloyd, when the first shot was fired, was
with the rear guard a little way up the ridge ; he
immediately ran down, and did what he could to rally
the men, but he soon fell, wounded in two or three
places ; other( fell with him, and the natives, having
possession of the plateau, cut our force in two, and i t
became completely scattered. When it was known in
town that some disaster had befallen Capt. Lloyd's
party, Colonel Werra immediately despatched •
force. When they reached the little plateau, a
fearful scene presented itself. Six bodies were
found lying stripped nearly naked, and from five
the beads had been cut off and taken away. The
natives kept up a very sharp fire from their
double-barrel led guns, and fired about three times to
once of our men. After the retreat of the troops, the
natives then returned to Ahuahu, and set up a
general howling (tangi), which is pretty certain
proof that their victory was not a bloodless one.
The decapitation of the bodies is a new feature in
the war, and we have yet to learn the motive
which induced the Maories to resort to a practice
which can only find its parallel in the deeds com-
mitted by them in their cannibal state. Captain
Lloyd, besides being decapitated, had seven gun-
shot wounds, and a tomahawk wound on the right
leg. Mrs. Lloyd became insane on hearing the news.
The Melbourne Argus says :—" The Waikato
campaign being now virtually closed, General
Cameron is expected to proceed to Taranaki, where
his presence seems to be much needed. The rebels
have shown in force at Tauranga, on the east coast,
the first time they have ventured to put in an ap-
pearance in this direction. We have a strong force
at Tauranga, under Lieut.-Colonel (hoer, of the
68th. The hopes of a peace being concluded during
the winter months now depend upon the rebels
being pressed for food. If they have cultivations
of any extent to fall back upon, it is hard to say
to what length the struggle may not be protracted.'

DENMARK.

ADDRESS OF THE NOTABLES TO THZ
KING.

COPENHAGEN, Jon 12, 11.20 rat.
A number of notables of Copenhagen have pro-
poeed the following address to the King :
"An intimate constitutional union of Sleswig
with the kingdom is the essential condition for the
independence of Denmark and the development of
her nationality. A personal union of Sleswig-
Holstein with the kingdom would entail the loss
of Sleswig and the fall of Denmark. It is there-
fore impossible that the government should con-
sent to such a solution. A continued prolongation
of the armistice is impossible unless the basis of a
satisfactory peace be proposed."
