The news from the North Island oontinnes
favourable. On the east coast but few natives
remain in rebellion, and wherever they show them-
selves they are followed up. On the west coast,
General Chute has set himself actively to punish
the perpetrators of the late outrages. Once more
the imperial troops, the colonial forces, and the
native contingent have been brought to act toge-
ther. The combined forces stormed in the most
spirited manner the Putabi pah, and General
Chute, delighted with their conduct, eulogised it
in the following terms in "general orders :"
The major-general commandiog is at a loss to find words
sufficient to express his thanks to the field force egged
against the formidable pah of Putahi this morning, after a
harasting march of four hours through dense bush and
forest, and op and down statist porpendicular mines. The
major-general was proud to see the force advance against
the pal), noarly iniccsssibls to troops, with as much cool-
' ness sad precision as if on their private parade ; sod after-
wards ebarge it in the moot gallant and spirited manner,
when within about eighty yards of it. 8.011 conduct proves
that no troops can c ipe with those of Great Britain.
Further on follow thanks to the colonial and
friendly native forces engagtd. Meanwhile, the de-
parture of the troops is not being neglected. The
70th have gone, and arrangements for the depar-
ture of two more regiments are being hurried on.

Tun AII3BZ/ICZ Or SIR HINILT STORKS PROM
MALTA.—Altbough Sir Henry Storks has DOW been absent
from Halts three months, the council has met twice, sod
transacted such business es was urgently required for eon-
ducting the goveroment of these possessions, without meet-
Lag with say oppositioa or difficulties in passing the Dees-
pry estimates tad other matters, as may bo seen from the
reports of the sittings already published. His excellency
must be gratified to learn that the footing upon which he
established the oonduct of public business, by requiring
each official authority sad department to be responsible
for the direction of their own particular Wain, sod
by allowing a legitimate inflaenes to the elective
element in the council, has been so succeraftd.
It is an evidences:a of his excellency's experience
and tact to have effee'ed so great a reform in so short •
time, and thus, being suddenly called away, he was enabled
to leave the sentiment without any apprehension of
matters returning to their former vicious course. The
people rf Malta are indebted to the prompt Secretory of
,• State, Mr. Cardwell, fur the video of his choice in ap.
pointing for u a governor so able and so well suited to the
conjuncture of the moment of his nomination. We are
therefore no longer apprehensive that the temporary sb ,
manes of hie esteelleeey will be prejudicial to the interests
of the population. Letters from Sir Henry Storks, dated
Jamaica, the Bth Febniary. were received this morning,
containing expressions that his excellencyhopes mon to be
again amongst as, sod adding that the royal commission is
' working hard and progiaming well with the inquiry ma-
