New ZIALANta—By the Duke of NEWCASTLE, from
New Ulster, ie New Zeeland, eomplaining of the iseponey
sad iejustiee of settling ass the colonists the burden of the
debt said to be due from the New Zealand Comesay.
The Earl of DEs.ticr wished to remove an implosion
that the present goverment had anything to do with the
legislation of which the petitioners complained. The only
Wag which had fallen on the hands of the present 'oven-
meet as to New Zealand was that which was contained in
tie imperial act of last session giving a new essetitutioe to
New Zealand. They could not then eater es the various
stoofticing claims of associations and aimates, but they
were obliged to take all these interests as they found them.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE must remind the noble can
that not only in the lest session of parliament is that and in
the other house, bat upon the hustings, the government had
taken credit to themselves for this measure, and the there-
tary of State for the Colonies had claimed the greatest
credit for his legislation as to New Zealand; and he could
not admit of the government congratulating themselves
epos one part of the measure which gave the constitution,
end repudiating another which imposed a claim on the
colony for which they were net liable. Let them either
wash their hands of the measure altogether, or take upon
themselves the respoesibility of it as • what. (Hear,
bear.) When the noble earl said that they MINI serteie
eoefficting interests, and they could not esessifow whether
this company or that association was righter +meg, he
would beg to remind him that both I. that avol the other

they were not liable to pry omen thelliel bead their re-
mosstrsaces, and had had sa spoormsdig of kesengeting
the grave charges which the esiiiids mein selmotthe New
Zealand Company. He was perfectly reedy to admit that
the present government were not entirely responsible fur
the measure; but it was a novel doctrine that a govern-
ment should introduce a measure .to that house upon
which they prided themselves, and when they found that
it contained an obnoxious proposition against which simians
remosstrancts were coming in that they should then some
forward sad say they were not responsible for that porgies
of the measure. (Hear. hear.)
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON THE
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
Lord LYNDHURST hogged to call the 'mastitis of their
lordships to a report of the commissioner' appointed to in-
quire into the state of the University of Cambridge, and
which report kad recently been laid on the table of their
lordships hoes'. Their lordships were no doubt aware of
the charges which had bees made of late years against the
univenity--charges of anal-administretios, of negligence,
indifference to improvement, sad so forth. It was with
referrer', to such charges that he wished to read the follow-
ing passages from the report of the emonissionen ." Beton
we conclude this report, it is with unfeigned pleasure that
we attempt another wk; that we endeavour in a few
weeds to iii lie .to the points wherein the university (Cam-
bridge) has in modern times shown is the *kit of her ad-
asistatra•ion her willingness to eulogy tibe cycle giber

severity of her laws permitted. We have siamisat posh
supplied by our evidence that the saimesity Ims hem
liberal in the general admisistratios of her fuse, ad hes-
basdiag them parsissoeiously, but bestowing them, to
Ike very limits of her power, upon objects of great aca-
demical importance. .or should we fail to notice the
vets cola committee to revise the statutes of the university
with a view to petitioning your Majesty for Tour royal
esscties to as amended code of university laws. 'This com-
