TO THZ EDTTOB OF TIM ZIFILVIS.

But,—ln 1840, when the Srst settlers arrived in
New Zealand, the native popul►tion mei computed at about
90,000. Sines that date their numbers are known to have
oressiderably decreased ; it is, therefore, quite incorrect to
say they amount to 150,000, as was stated in the Homo of
CO[llolo6ll in the discussion on Friday. I have myself fre-
quently heard the natives themselves allude to this decrease
of their people : " Before the Pekin (white stranger) ammo,"
mar they. " the Maori never knew sickness—only the eery
old man. Now the young men are ill, and the elc.knees
does not go away ' —by and bye the Maori dies."
Having o during a residence of ten yean among
them, the smey fine points of character which the natives
of New Zealand ponces, I cannot help here expressing deep
regret (which all there who understand them will feel) that
any circumstance should have occurred to involve them in a
war, the effaces of which are sure to be felt most severely

THE DISTURBANCES IN SYRIA.

(nom on owl!

A gentleman, by last mail from Alexandria, who
appears well acquainted with Syria, states that eraisaariss
of both France and Ramis are very busy stirring up disputes
between the Maronites and Christians, in the hope that it
will give them an opportunity of interfering in the affairs of
Turkey on the plea of protecting Christians. He states
that the inhabitants quite look upon Russia as the future
master of Syria and France of Egypt.
He says also that at this moment M. Lumps hes 10,000
French soldiers in the very heart of Egypt, whom he has
introduced as labourers for the Suez canaL
He states that the Turkish soldiers sent to the assistance
of the Christians had turned against them. Notwithstand-
ing which the Christians bad, after a desperate struggle,
defeated their opponents ; that something like a thousand
lives had already been lost, and that the Christians in
Syria were in great danger. I give you his statement as I
received it, believing it to be substantially correct. Several
portions I have heard corroborated from other quarters
On the 10th, her Majesty's steamer Queen arrived from
England and would have proceeded on to Syria, but she
bad a large number of sick, and her Majesty's steamer Ex-
mouth proceeded instead, on the 11th, to Beyront for the
protection of British subjects during the present disturbed
date of Syria. The Mohawk has also been sent for the
same purpose.
Her Majesty' steamer Cesar is cruising off Naples with
lemon board. The Neptune is laying at Naples. Lieut.-
seat Hooper is appointed to her Majesty's steamer Ex -
namalk, it.. Eattray, gone as half-pay. Mr. Bateman,
paymaster al her Majesty's eteszeir Neptune, died shortly

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WIDNESDAY ElllOlll3lllO.

The Opinion Nationale and the Cowrie? de Paris
have both received warnings for having published
Victor Hugo's speech ; the Daily News was detained
for several hours'at the post-office on account of its
containing an English translation of that heart-
stirring denunciation of tyranny. It is worthy of
remark that the speech was carefully framed so as
to avoid any specific allusion to Franoe. Any
offence which the government may find in it can
only be deduced by way of logical consequence
from certain principles impossible not to be alluded
to in a eulogy of the hero Garibaldi. The warn-
ing describes the corpus delicto as consisting of a
" violent and general appeal to revolutionary pas-
sions apropos of the affairs of Naples." To be
consistent the Minister of the Interior should pro-
hibit the publication of any news from Neapolitan
states. For eloquent as Victor Hugo is, the most
fiery of his burning words are tame and spiritless
when compared with the trumpet-tongued tale of
the progress of the revolution, told by the bare re-
cital of the least of Garibaldi's deeds in Sicily.

The warning's this day inflicted by M. Billault
are both second ones, and consequently the two
young journals which have given the empire valu-
able support in its foreign and commercial policy,
and have repudiated in its favour liberty itself, if
only to be supported in connexion with Orleanism
or legitimacy, are now on the very brink of destruc-
tion.

At the Bourse there has been a further decline—
attributed to the state of the weather. Yesterday
there was a change in the moon, from which much
was hoped, but a great deal of rain fell last night and
this morning. Nevertheless flour was lfr. lower
in Paris to-day, and news of a fall is reported
from several markets. The Rente, after having
been as low as 68f r. 45c. and 68fr. 40c., closed at
Mfr. Mc., both for cash and account, being a fall
of 20c. and 15c. The price is now just what it
was on the day when the Emperor started for the
celebrated meeting at Baden. Mobilier rose lfr.
25c. All the railways were about 2fr. 50cc. lower.
The Pays, in addition to the contradiction of the
telegraphic news that England had supported the
application of the Sardinian Ambassador at
Naples for a restitution of Garilvddi's two cap-
tured .hips on the ground that they had papers
for Malta, says that the government of Turin has
repudiated the step taken by its representative as
being unjustifiable by the law of nations.
There is a rumour that the Emperor will make
a pacific speech ou the 26th, to the gainers of
prises at the cattle show.

LEATHER AND HlDE3.—The position of the leather
market continues unaltered ; a fair amount of business is
doing, but nothing like an active trade exists. The sup-
ply at Leadenhall this week was to an average amount, and
the article most in request was the light common un-
shaved dressing hider, which were in short supply. The
public sales of foreign raw last week were very dull ; and
the few sold were at a reduction of id. to id per lb. East
India kips, also, were id. lower. About 550 River Plate
hides h►ve also been sold by private contract at a reduction
of id. per lb.

settled with a low temperature. At our market this morn-
ing there was a fair 'apply of grain from the growers.
Wheat was held for a further advance of la. to 2s. per qr.,
which buyers resisted ; the market closed firm at the ex-
treme prices of last week. In the value of spring corn

In consequence of this grand ceremony being appointed

the Bishops of Oxford, I&na:nb lan New 'York ; Sir J.
C. Harding, Sir Alfred Chlef Justice of New
South Wales, /cc., he. The having opened the
proceedinge, the Bishop of Ripon in moving a resolution
to the effect that the efforts of the society to obtain an
additional body of able and well qualified niimionahes for
India, and the plan for the foundation of scholarships for
the universities for the maintenance of missionary students,
deserved the hearty co-operation of the meeting, said it was
the duty of this country to aim at the evangelisation of
India, and all those countries which come under its influ-
ence. If we wished to make the population of India obedi-
ent and devoted to British rule, it was our safest policy to
maintain openly the practice of spreading our religion. He
then dwelt on the inadequacy of the means which had
hitherto been employed to fulfil the desired object, and urged
the necessity of increased efforts. Mr. Stephen Cave, H.P.
seconded the motion, which was carried. The Bishop of
Oxford moved the next resolution, to the effect that the
combined enlargement of the society's missionary opera-
tions, both in British colonies and in heathen countries,
were entitlel to public support. This was seconded by the
Queen's Advocate, who stated that out of over 100,0001.
subscribed to the society, seemly 1,0001. bad been contri-
buted by the City of London. The resolution was carried,
as was the following, moved by the Chief Justice of New
South Wales, and seconded by Mr. Henry Hoare, "That
the principle on which the society has long acted, of making
grants in aid of local contributions, and encouraging local
endowments, is well calculated to promote the best interests
al the colonial church, by providing for its ultimate in-
chpendence." It was stated that the society desires to
provide this year from its general fund for the maintenance
of missionaries in Australia,Bengal, Bombay, Borneo, Bri-
tish Columbia, Canada, Cape of Good Hope, Ceylon, Con-
stantinople, Guinea, Labrador, Meares, Mauritius, Natal,

POLICY OF INSUKANCL.

This warn • special came involving the construction of *
policy, to the affect that if the enured should reoeive any
bodily injury from accident before agiven day, which should
cause his death within three months of its occurrence, the
office should pay 1,0001., but if the bodily injury without
causing death was such as to wholly disable the assured
from his usual avocations, the company should pay rif.
a week daring the continuance of such disability. There
was no contract to pay if the accident did not cause total
disability. The plaintiff, who warn a solicitor, had injured
his leg by riding on horseback, and for four months was c.o.
tined to his room. The Court of Exchequer held that,
though he was able to see his clerks, he was unable to see
his clients, and that it warn • disability within the con.
tract, and decided against the company.

lution, as it formerly was by Islamism. The cause
of the Pope is that of civilisation and liberty."
The General concludes by exhorting the soldiers to
have confidence in the success of the cause which
is entrusted to them.

SARDINIA.

(nom oaa srscuz. 001111161.0NDENT.)
TURIN, APRIL 9.

Some interest will be given to-morrow to the
hitherto monotonous and tiresome proceedings of
the Chamber of Deputies by the election of the
president, vice-presidents, and secretaries. The
ministers have decided on supporting Signor Lanza,
who, however, does not seem to enjoy the full
sympathy of his honourable colleagues. The majo-
rity of the Chamber, and especially the
members of 'Emilia and Tuscany, are more
inclined to support Commendatore Buonoompagni,
whose services to the national cause have been so
numerous and so great. By his gentlemanly and
courteous manner the former Governor-General of
Central Italy won golden opinions, and had he
been supported by the government, his election to
the presidential chair would not be doubtful.
Although the necessity of not dividing the minis-
terial majority on the one hand, and the wish of
showing their deference to Count Cavour on the
other, will induce the Chamber to accept
the ministerial candidate, I have heard a
great many deputies complaining of the step
taken by the government. They feel, and per-
haps not without reason, that the ministers
would have done better to exercise no pressure on
the house in this matter. The consequence of this
little official intrigue is, that the opposition will
support Buonoompagni's election, so that the honest
Conunendatore will be turned to-morrow—much to
his disgust—into a protege of a party with whom he
has no sympathy. General Quaglia, whose state of
health seemed to have improved, died on Saturday.
His funeral, which took place yesterday, at 6 o'clock,
gave the Turinese an opportunity of offering a
great ovation to Garibaldi. The gallant general,
having accompanied his colleague to the
grave, was recognised by the crowd, and
on his way back to the Palazzo Carignano he was
enthusiastically cheered by a dense crowd of people
which thronged the adjoining streets to suffocation.
Garibaldi was therefore obliged to thank them, and
he did so in a few hearty words. He said that the
cheerings of the people showed him that if the Nioe
question were to be decided by a popular vote the
fair city would not be lost to Italy. Although no-
body will be disposed to censure the population of
this city for having so warmly cheered the member
for Nice, it strikes me that this mode of express-
ing political opinions to open-air assemblies
is hardly compatible with the dignity or the
interests of a countrl which enjoys the benefit
of a free parliament. Public demcmitrikliun'.
fall to rouse popular passion, and passion is not the
best element in polities.

Victor Emmanuel will start for Central Italy on
Sunday next. Count Cavour, Mamiani Jacini,
and Corti, will accompany him. This last named
gentleman, a distinguished Florentine, has been ap-
pointed Minister of Commerce to-day. Fariui
and General Fanti will join the king at Bologna, on

his way back from Florence. The Prussian
Wildenbruch arrived here yesterday evening from
Tuscany, and from what I hear his Excellency lia
been pleased with the state in which he found th.f
newly-annexed provinces.

TANGIER.

The following is from the Gibraltar Chronicle of the
sth inst. : . . _ . .. .

AniMperial order had been received at Tangier for the
public execution of the two men implicated in the late
murderous attack on Mr. James Drtunniond Hay athl
the crew of the torque Znleika ; and Sunday last was tix..l
fur carrying the order into effect. Early in the after...,
three colonels of the Sultan's Bokhary horse arrived
Tangier for the purpose of seeing their royal
ter's order duly executed. Escorted by a nunier
military guard, and heavily fettered, the unhappy cried.
nail were soon afterwards led from prison to the prin-
cipal market-place, Rol 1 a space having been cleared in the
DMA of the dense crowd which bad assembled tie,.,
a party of soldiers with loaded muskets were drawn up
within it, and prepared to discharge their terrible duty.
These preliminaries had scarcely been completed when
further proceedings were arrested by the arrival on the
ground of Mr. Reade, her Majesty's consul, ioa,annoo• I
by Messrs. James Drummond Hay and Green. Mr.
had been instructed by her Majesty's charge d'arfain, u,
state that, although the prisoner, had been found guilty ..f
participating in the murderous attacks which had led to the
death of the unfortunate mariner John Stymy, it wasdoulaful
whether either of them was the actual perpetrator of the
murder ; and therefore, at his interceation, her Majesty
the Queen of England had been graciously pleavvl
to direct that his Majesty the Sultan should be
moved to commute the punishment of death for that of
imprisonment fora lengthened term. He requested, there•
fore, that the authorities would abstain from giving imme.
dist; execution to the Sultan's order until a reference had
been made to his Majesty. After some demur on the part
of the authorities this request was acceded to. The natives
who had locked in peat numbers to the market-place, se
long as they were under the impression that the execution
was about to take place, showed,by their silence, their ap•
predation of the justice of the sentence. They, however,
greeted with loud shouts of satisfaction the announcement
that the lives of the unfortunates had been spared. and
poured blessings on the English for their merciful inter-
cession."

MINES-7HIB DAY.

Two o'Cr.ocr.

The mining market to-day ix rather quiet. The
transactions have been principally confined to
shares in Wheal Mary Ann, Lady Bertha, Pendeen
Consols, Treloweth, and Great Rataßack mines.
In the Stock Exchange Wheal Mary Ann shares
are officially marked 194.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are likewise
dull. St. John del Rey have been dealt in at 224,
and United Mexican at 14.
The Wendron Consols Yining Oompany have declared •
dividend of 10s. per share.
At a quarterly general meeting of the adventurers in

last account (2971. 4s. fl.) the sum in favour of the mine is
raised to 8151. la. 3d. The usual dividend of Is. per share
was declared.

THE VICTORIA LOAN.

It has been decided that another public bidding
is to take place for the unallotted balance-
-1,078,000d.—0f the Victoria Six per Cent. lien.
The committee of the Associated Australian
Banks issued a notification that they will re.
ceive tenders at the London and Westminster
Bank, at 2 o'clock on Tuesday next, "at a price
not below the minimum of 106/. per cent., as fixed
by the Australian government." The conditions
are, in other respects, the same as before, and the
entire amount must be paid up at the date origi-
nally fixed, viz., the 30th mgt. It is mentioned that
" in cases of equality of tenders beyond the amount
to be issued, they will be subject to a pro rata dimi-
nution." The purchasers will be "declared to be
those who have offered the highest price not wider
the said minimum." Several points in this supple-
mental notification are objected to. The manifest
attempt of the committee to obtain an advance of
or per cent, over the reserved price is regarded
as close dealing. Objection is principally taken,
however, by the persons whose tenders were ac.
oepted yesterday to the attempt to deprive them of
that prior claim to a further allotment which they
have virtually purchased by tendering in ignorance
of the minimum price, and in strict accordance
with the conditions originally put forward. In the
approaching distribution of the balance they have
undoubtedly a claim beyond that of the general
public ; and if their claim be ignored, many persons
will hold back upon any future occasion. An
address to the chairman of the committee
is in course of signature in the Stock Exchange,
setting forth the manifest injustice which this course
inflicts on those who subscribed on Wednesday.
It urges with reason that the precedent should be
adhered to which was established by the committee
themselves upon a former occasion, when, under
similar circumstances, the claims f the previous
successful bidders were entertained preferentially.
The letter has already been signed by Messrs. P.
Cazenove and Co., Sheppard', Pelly and Co.,
Robins and Barber, LOUIS Cohen, Haggard, Hale
and Pixley, Joseph &beg, and other respectable
firms.

QUEBEC, Mum 30.
Preparation. are already making for the recep-
tion of the Ynnce of Wales, whoa expected here
by the tint week of June. For the past few days
reports have been afloat respecting the domicils to
he placed at the duiptiaal of his Royal Highness
&wing his oat' in Quebec. By last mail despatches
Armed from England, which may ere lung give us
mate no.re reliable intelligence as to the real ar-
i townie:its made for the reception 01 the heir ari-
l...rent to the throne. At present all is specula-
tion. Had not the house at Spencer Wood beim
iiiil-rtuliately burnt down a month since, it is not
improbable that the Prince would have been the
gue.t the Governor-General at that ancient do-
main, but the house at present 1111111 ed for his Excel-
leoev aiir Istmend Head is too small to admit of
kr. beieg properly accommodated at it. The Old
Chateau, or Castle of St. Lewis, at present occupied
by the Crown Lands Department, is spoken of
atuoug other buildings as likely to be selected for
the Prince's residence. It commands a charming
view id the St Lawrence, sad overlooks the greater
part of the city. Certain it is that no trouble or
expellee will be spared by the authorities to do all
bosom to his royal highness. There is but one
opinion on the subject, and that is, that throughout
the royal progress every elms at the population
will exert itself to the utmost to show the loyal
feeling that exists in the breasts of Canadians. •
There i. every prospect of the present session
helms an unusually abort one, and judging by the
large amount .4 buainees already despatched in the
"me of four weeks, one would fain believe that
the measure of last session introduced by the
Attonie, •General (East) has had a moot wholesome
effect Moon members of both the Upper and Lower
House. In t'amola members have hitherto received
an "indemnity" of six dollars a day from govern-
ment, whatever might be the length of the session.
This too often induced worthy gentlemen to prolong
debates to a useless extent, and it was not uncom-
thou for the house to sit for six months over work
which might well have been compressed into three.
The bill now in vogue limit the amount of each
member's receipts to 1501., provided the maim last
for cue month, beyond which space no indemnity
will be granted. There appears a pretty general
desire to get through with as little delay as possible.
Ire fact, should the house not adjourn in the second
week of April, to await the arrival of the Prince—
and there is a rumour to that effect--there is more
than a possibility of the house being prorogued by
the mitiale of May.
