THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.

SURRENDER OF THE REBEL CHIEFS.
The last mail brought an account of the defeat of
the Maori rebels at Pa Te Range, the position taken
up by them after their evacuation of the Gate Pa.
This last event has proved more decisive than was
at first anticipated. The Maori combinations have
been completely broken up, and peace is probably
re-established. Several of the principal leaders
have given in their submission, and it was reported
that even William Thompson was about to meet the
governor and take the oath of allegiance. The

Melbourne Age of August 25 has the following nar-
rative of the recent movements:
After the fall of Te Range, the Maoris", to the number of
about 1,400, assembled at a pa, a few miles distant, which,
however, they very soon deserted. Another pa, at Kahl,
blame, and which wail considered to be impregnable, was
also found by an expeditionary force directed against it to
have been deserted, though a few days previously it was
reported to be occupied by several hundreds of the enemy,
who were busily employed in honeycombing the interior.
The pa was of course at once demolished, but no trace could
be obtained of the coarse the former occupant' had takes.
AII subsequent intelligence relates to the preepects of
peace. The Tannings natives have given in their
adhesion to the crown, as many as 150 men having
voluntarily eurrended, and signed the declaration of alle-
giance to the Queen on the 25th ult., before Colonel Greer,
of the 68th light Infantry, commanding. Two hundred
stand of rebel arms have also been given up. Amongst these
converted rebela are the principal chiefs of Tauracp ;
Hooka, nephew of Rudd ; Hari Ngati, of the Ngaete-
rangi tribe ; Pens Take, who distingnished himself at the
Gate Pa ; Pens Take, chief of Jades, and Honiara Tehore,
Hon Tueyee's son. The entire of the Waikato and
Waipa country is in the bands of the troops and c3loui.d
contingent. The natives have been expelled, broken, and
defeated ; and, although there are still about 300 rebels in
the Thames country, besides the small following still with
William Thompson between Matamata plain and Taarano,
the Thames district is likewise in their hands. So alio is
the lower Waikato, and the wooded ranges where the
enemy roamed in perfect security at the beginning of tLe
campaign. And lastly, the T►uranga district, so long
closed against law and the Queen's authority, and recently
so well fought for by the rebels, ia unquestionably in the
hands of the Queen's forces. His Excellency the Governor
with General Cameron and staff, proceeded on the 3rd
mat., to Tanzania, for the purpose of panting an interview
to the rebels who recently gave in their submission, and
signed a declaration of allegiance, in the premium of
Colonel Greer. During the visit to Tanning% his exoel-
leocy intends to grant an audience, as solicited, to William
Thompson.

With respect to the laud question as between the
government and the natives, the Southern Cross of
Auckland says :—" The purchase of half the native
block of land lying between the Manukau and
Waikato rivers, bounded on the east by the Waiuku
creek, has just been completed by Messrs. Turton
and Rogan for the government. The other half
has been confiscated, and only for the merciful
consideration of his Excellency and ministers the
entire block would have shared the same
fate. The natives who now reside on the
land get a high price, to be paid in five annual
instalments. They have also been allowed to select
3,000 acres of the beat laud in five separate blocks ;
and have access to the creek and sea secured to
them, together with lakes reserved for eel fishing.
The land will be settled by immigrants sent out by
Mr. Reader Wood. The block contains 47,000 serve."
The circumstance is accepted by the Southern Cross
as a proof that neither the colonists nor the ministry
have any desire to grasp unfairly the land of the
natives. The same journal of Aug. 8 inst. gives the
following as the latest information :
H.M.S. Harrier, which arrived yesterday from Taurasga,
has brought us intending news, aa it regards the progress of
the peace movement there. There were two meetings held
at the camp, Te Papa, on the sth and 6th but., in the pre-
mium of his Excellency the Governor, General Cameron and
his staff, Mr. Whittaker, and Mr. Fox, and the various
sanitary and naval caws. There were betweea 200 and
300 natives present, including women and children, most
of whom had, however, made submission at various
times previously, by giving up their arms. The
natives were addressed by the governor and the
general, who detailed to them the stipulations upon which
their submission would be received ; and Use natives ex-
pressed themselves well unified with the lenient manner
in which they were to be dealt with. A rumour was
current in the camp to the effect that a large body of
native', estimated to be 1,000 strong, acre located In the
esighbourbood of Maketu, awaiting information relative
to the rusetinp., in order that in the event of the sti-
pulations being each u met with their approval they might
at once take advantage of them. We are informed that
all the natives that cone into the camp are treated with
the greatest hospitality, marquees being erected for their
accommodation, and a plenitude of provisions served one
to all of those who may be willing to partake of them.
There are said to be a large number of women and children
already in the camp. There war to be another
meeting, it was said, held to-day. The Miranda was
to leave Tswana yesterday, with a portion of the
43rd Regiment, for Auckland, and it was said that
the Felon would follow with thedpmailider in a few days,
The Buddy left Turing% on Satualay morning for Maketu,
with about 120 men of No. 1 Company Waikato Militia.
Ice the relief eta like somber of No. 3 Company, who are
to return to Auckland. The Harrier brine up the follow-
ing perengers:—Mr. Belcher, Lieutenant Robley, 68th

carpenter, but refused his addrese, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another man not in
custody in feloniously breaking into and entering the house
No. 100, Parketreet, Grosvenor-square, with intent to com-
mit a robbery.
Mr. John Hughes, a gentleman residing at No. 35,
Park-street, Grcevenorequare, said—While at my sitting-
room window yesterday morning about half-pest 8 I ob-
served a man fumbling at the locks of the opposite house,
No. 100. The man having unlocked the door, walked away,
and the prisoner then walked up, pushed open the door,
and walked in, and theo turned kis face round, and eseiag
that he was observed by persons at my window and
that I was coming to my door he ran away. I ran
after him, and he took me through several mews.
I then put the police on his track and they caught him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Waa the prisoner ever bodily in the home!
Mr. Hughes—He was.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did both the men stand at the dos!
Mr. Hughes—Only one at • time.
Prisoner—When I went into the house, why did you not
come over and take roe!

Mr. Hughes—Became you did not wait long enough for
me to do ea.
Police-constable Watkins, 154 C, said—Yesterday morning

WESTMINSTER.
CASC OF XL 811WLT.

Oa Mr. Self. taking hie seat this morning, Mr. Smyth,
solicitor, said he begged to call his attention to • case which
had occurred before his colleague last Wednesday, which
appeared in the evening papers of that day. Mr. John
Charles Sweeney, representing himself as captain in the
91st Highlaixtere though his name was not to
be found in the Army List—war charged at this
court on Wednesday with wilfully breaking • pane
of plate glass in a wardrobe in a lady's house,
at 16, Cumberland-square. Miss Stuart, the lady
in question, had attended at this court to prosecute,
but through the intercession of the accused's friends was
prevailed upon not to appear spinet him, it being impreased
upon her that if committed to prison for the offence it
would be his ruin. Coder these circumstances she kindly
consisted to forego the charge, and it was much to be
regretted that after her departure from the court
a most =justifiable misrepresentation war made of the facts
of the case. It had bete represented that he bad been
inveigled into the house. 16, Cumberland-street, and that it
wee • house kept for ladies. He (Mr. Smyth) sow begged
with Miss Stuart, who was present, most positively to con-
indict this. Miss Stuart, who bad occupied the house
three years, and who was the only lady that resided there,
was sitting with her brother and sister at supper, when
then was a violent ring at the street door bell, and upon the
door being opened, Mr. Sweeney rushed into the house, stared
wildly around him, =seed upstairs with • stick in his hand,
and entering one of the rooms, demolished the glass in a
wardrobe with • thick stick, and was then given into cus-
tody. He was • stranger to Miss Stuart, and the supposi-
tion was that he had mistakes her house for one of the
class described, which was, unfortunately, ,very near her's.
He hoped that in justice to Mies Stout Otis statement of
the facts might be promulgated through the Name medium
by which the misrepresentation had gone forth to the public,
Mr. Self. said be had no doubt that the pr sent applica-
tion would receive proper attention. Mr. Sweeney's name
did not appear in the Army List, and he thought lie might
venture to my be did not live at the address given, which
was only two doe= from his (Mr. Stiffes) hour.
