Gernor."

The Auckland correspondent of the Sydney Morn-
ing Herald says, in reference to the above :—"The
tract of land thus confiscated to the crown contains
about three and a half to four millions of scree—
about two and shelf millions of which are really valu-
able for settlement. It takes in all the navigable
watersof the Waikato, Waipoe, and Horatio Rivers ;
and will afford room for many thousands of settlers."
The same correspondent, writing on the Slat
December' says : In the meantime there are
arriving, almost weekly, a great many settlers,
brought here for the very purpose of occupying
these lands under the general government's offer of
free passage and a small freehold, on condition of a
three years' residence on the land. This has
developed a new phase in the matter which may
turn out an important one."

Tea Panes ne Fluxes—The Debuts of yester-
day sap that there is a periodical published in Paris called
the Rune des Court Publics, the readers of which think
but little of politic', and still less of seditioo. These readers
recently requested the conductors of the publication just
named to give reports of the lectures on political isoonorny
delivered by M. Henri Bandrillart, at the Collage of Frame.
The gentlemen appealed to were obliged to decline, on the
ground that the authorities might at any time consider such
reports political, red take proceedings accordingly. „Thus
the Revue des Court Publics, in the present state of our
legislation and jurisprudent's," says the Debuts, "could not
prudently publish any of the lectures of N. Baudrillart, a
professor intituled by the State. What legislation and what
Angular jurisprudence! How many similar examples will
it require to induce the government to mime the law of the
17th February, 1852, upon the press? "
Kumar; PROGRESS IN Tea Eases.—We have
already bristly alluded to the projects of Russia in the
North. The Armor territory and the island of Saghalien
have fallen into her heads, and it is impossible to doubt that
these acquisitions, however important, have net by any
means satisfied the court of St. Petersburg with regard to
the extension of Russian territory in the Ead. The Rap
oleos, so ler as they have at present advanced, have proved
themselves the bewilders of the country over which their
lines extend. They have subjected wild and uninhabited
deserts to European civilisation, sod have on the
edges of a howling wilderness °died into being many
stately cities. By their indomitable exertions thriv-
ing European colonies have taken the piece of strag-
gling hate occupied from time to time by wandsriag and
semi.-birberovs tribes. They have introduced the customs
of the West into a district hitherto considered without the
pale of refinement, and have thus raked little beacon lights
amidst the darkness, which subsequent labourers will no
doubt multiply and enlarge. Thus whatever selfish motives
may incite Russia to push her boundaries to the eastward
and southward, the influence she exerts on the destinies d
the natives is one of unmixed good. Western politicians
may, however, see in her saaroachments jut ground for
fear lest her influence in Asia eventually bourne so over-
whelming as to threaten the contionanos of English, Preach.
