The Marquis of RARTINGTON said it would be more
nenvesient if the bon. and gallant gentleman would defer
his observation until be bad made his statement, on the
understanding that he should then have an opportunity of
machining the house.
AFFAIRS IN NEW ZEALAND.

Una the motion for going into supply,
Mr. A. MILLS called attestors to the state of affairs in
New Zealand, and stated that ea, daft he bad given his ;
antics, latelligeoes had arrived which showed that the
pehey which he had propowd to lay down bad been adopted,
be Mould not go at length into the question ; but be argued
that the difficulties of the colony were not by any moms
over, and prophesied that five years would hardly see the
end of the war. He contended that the only course to be
permed was to carry out fully the policy which the local
gevernmeat had recognised, and leave to the oniony the re-
spressibilities of self-government and self-defence.
Mr. ROEBUCK argued in favour of the policy of war
with the natives of New Zealand, urging that it was the
mission of the colonists to introduce English civilisation
leto that land by driving mails wild animals, the wildest
and fiercest of which were the aboriginal men, and sub-
stituting for a state of savage war end repine a con-
dition of peace sad beriseas. The government Dever
meld see ibis, but too the middle course of attempt-
leg. to promote English colonisation and to conciliate the
settees simultaneously, the await of which was inevitable
failure. What the government had to do now wen to allow
the °sionista to govern themselves and do as they like.
Mr. BUXTON sdvoested the advisability of withdrawing
the British troops from New Zealand, se in that rase the
welaelate would treat the natives as powerful belligerents,
end would conclude an honourable peace with them. He
nosidered that the natives had conducted the war with
earpridee humanity, while it was impossible not to admire
their heroism in contending spinet greatly superior numbers.
Mr. ADDEItLEY believed this country might rely upon I
their repaying their debt to them as soon en theycould ; and
he believed they were willing to contribute to their own de-II
haw, sad to the expenses of any body of troops that might i
be net out from this country. Well, if that were tree, he
wee is hone they sew Masud of this troubled state of ,
Siam. If the rebellion were at an end—and he hoped he
might ray it was—if the rebellion in the north were
suppressed, end if when it threatened to break out— I
namely, at New Plymouth—the settlers were making • very
powerful colonist with a deterministic,n to control I
the rebellion ; • if, as he gathered, the further intention I
Den to remove the seat of government from the north to a
antral point in the two islands. at Wellington, he thought •
they might look for a cessatias of the preemie mischievous
Mate of thaw in the two islands, and that there was
a proepect of their being before long left in full
njerment of the rights of self-government. He hoped the '

would find this great wester, colony anuming • spirit of
eell-reliance, worthy of England ; and to see Esgland gra-
dually ceasing to regard her salmis' as mere depeadmita

He thought there had been too great • dedre on the path

opinion of the natives was very well expressed to Colossi
Gore Brows, when they said the governor wanted to keep

Lord STANLEY said there might be a few people in
New Zealand desirous for the continuation of the war, but
he believed the motion that there was a wish to continue
the war for the sake of the imperial expenditure was not
well toothed. One thing he hoped weld sot be dope, and
that was, to give to the governor say power Independently
of the ustrol of his reepessible admen.

Mr. W. E. FORSTER said that whatever the noble lord
gated had so mush weight with the house sod the coneta
that he almost wished the noble lord would reccasider the

Zealand He understood the agile lord to my that sob=

Lord STANLEY said that be did not lay down any go. I
sera principle. He spoke of the preset war. They oeght
w tell the colonials Dal to expeet militery suleteoco from
them *fetus wars, but having been porkiest* getting them
into this trouble they could not fairly desert them altogether
in the middle of it, and were therefore bound for the pre-
med to see that assistance was reedered, but also that it
was reduced to the narrowest Waite.
Mr. W. E. FORSTER was glad to bear the noble lord's
explaaation, as nothing would have been so mesa as to have
left the colonists entirely to shift for themselves. He
thought that whatever force we sent out ought not to be at
the dieposal of the colonial government. It appeared to
him the right hoc. 'Guthman the Colociel Secretary de-
served the thanks of the house and the mute, for having
informed the colonist' that so long as this large number of
troops was employed by them, the oolosial (oversew should
have some voice in the matter. He agreed with the rural
expreinioo of opinion that even in the interest of the
natives it would be well to leave the mea-
t of affairs in the hands et the

Mond to make a lengthened statement oca that ocession.
One object of the bill was to inset a state of things
which had created among bar Majesq's subjects
very great fear and very great danger with respect
to the theatres of thin country. Is many theatres
there was no mode of epos in the event of ;
and one of the objects of this bill was to correct that state
of things, and to place the buildings which wen need as
theatres, and other pieces of public amusement, on • proper
footing in that respect. Another object of the bill wee to
settle a gowning' which had arisen between theatres and
manic-balls. He believed there was no objection to the Is-
e:educator of the bilL
Mr. T. G. BAIf.LNG said he did not rise to object
to the introduction of the bill, but he thought
there was no reason for supposing that in the public,

so far ss he was acquainted with the theatres of this
metropolis, the Lord Chamberlain, with whom the
licensing of those buildings rested, bad tiekera every precau-
tion on behalf of the public for providing adequate means
of egress, and that there was no ironed whatever for com-
plaint on that subject. When the bill was printed the
house would be better able to judge as to the proposal
made in the other part of the bill for the settlement of the
question between theatres and mueichalls. He hoped the
hon. gentleman would not fix an early day for the second
