SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—No great invention entirely overthrow-
ing pre-existing practice was, we suppose, even in-
troduced without occasioning some countervailing
disturbance and trouble, Possibly a more unmixed
good was never provided for mankind than the in-
vention of the electric telegraph. It has outdone
all that the wildest imagination could conceive of
the wonderful and supernatural, and armed us with
a übiquity of knowledge, the very best gift that the
most sanguine enthusiast would have expected from
the hand of science. It is rapidly creating for us
one of the most useful of all practical branches of
knowledge—the science of meteorology. It is draw-
ing our vast and scattered empire together into one
compact whole, and it is giving to friends or cor-
respondents in remote positions many of the ad-
vantages which result from inhabiting the same
metropolis. Yet even this great and marvellous
agency, the most beneficial as well as the most won-
derful that the world has ever seen, carries with it
some not inconsiderable drawbacks. The fault is
not in the machine itself, but in our experience and
inability to use it properly. It is a truism to say
that in order to judge properly of any subject
nothing is so valuable as the absence of prejudice—
of the iassumption of arbitrary and preconceived
opinions. It is one of the highest efforts of candour
and fairness to keep the mind unbiassed until a
story has been fairly told out froin beginning to
end. The natural tendency of the mind is to con-
vert particulars into generals, or exceptions into
rules, and when it has once done so to enlist all its
obstinacy and all its self-love in the task of uphold-
ing a conclusion rashly assumed from imperfect
data. The person who sends a telegraphic mes-
sage founded on long despatches must necessarily
give a mere summary, and because it is a summary
an imperfect appreciation of their contents. A great
part of the public, we apprehend, take their ideas
of remote events almost entirely from these sum-
maries, without giving themselves the trouble to
verify them by subsequent investigations of the
doctrines on ;which they are founded. It is thus
that the electric telegraph may, and often does, be-
come the means of promulgating inaccurate infor-
mation. No one is to blame for this, but the pos-
sibility is one against which people ought to be on
their guard. Thus we have recently laboured under
the agreeable mistake that the war in New Zealand
is at an:end, and now awake to the chilling con-
viction that out of the many tribes which have
taken up arms against it is only one section that has
laid down its arms. The Tauranga tribes, which
have just submitted to us, are of all others the most
likely to have taken such a step ; for, although they
have taken up arms against us, they have always
conducted the war in a chivalrous, humane, and even
Christian spirit, which shows that the instruction
we have communicated to them, however imperfect
it may have been, has not been without valuable
fruits in mitigating the horrors of savage warfare,
even if it has not been able to prevent the occurrence
of that warfare altogether. The tribes have been
.very mercifully dealt with. They made an absolute
submission, declaring that they placed their persons
and their property entirely at the disposal of the
Governor. In order probably to make the deeper
impression upon them, Sir G. Grey took a night to
consider his decision, and then announced to them
that their submission was accepted; that they were,
so far as their persons were concerned, fully par-
doned; that the prisoners of war of their tribe whom
we had taken should be released ; that all those
who had come in and given up their arms should be
immediately settled on locations on their own lands,
to be as far as practicable chosen by themselves ;
that as they were without food, and had lost every
thing by the war, seed potatoes should be given
them, as well as implements and other things neces-
sary to enable them to settle on their locations; that
the forfeiture of their lands should not extend to
more than one-fourth; that the precise quantity
within these limits should be afterwards settled.
The Tauranga tribes expressed themselves most
grateful, as well they might, for the clemency shown
them, for certainly fairer terms were never granted
to a vanquished enemy. It is besides agreeable to
know that these terms were granted to the natives
with the assent and in the presence of t wo members
of the Parliamentary Government of New Zealand ;
so that there is some reason to hope that a collision
between the Imperial and Colonial authorities,whieh
at one time seemed imminent, may now be entirely
avoided. This news is excellent, as far as it goes,
but no one can say that it amounts to anything like
the close of the war, or a pacification of the Northern
Waled. We must expect in the coming New Zealand
summer, which is now just commencing, that mili-
tary operations will be carried on at Taranaki, and
very possibly in other districts. Of the extent and
probable duration of these operations men will judge
according as their temper is sanguine or desponding.
It would be a great mistake of course to regard the
New Zealand tribe as a compact confederacy, ani-
mated by one spirit or actuated by one will. They
may be more aptly compared to those Highland clans
so formidable when they can be gathered together
in a single field with a single purpose, but so liable to
melt away like snow under the influence of jealousies
and motives entirely incomprehensible to a stranger.
But this very disunion and disorganisation, which
has glade them less formidable ill war, will also re-
tard the conclusion of peace. Still there can be no
doubt that the merciful treatment extended to the
first tribes which have made their submission will
have the very best effect upon native opinion
throughout New Zealand. There is no excuse now
for what may he called the argument of desperation
—for the feeling that all is lost by surrender, and
therefore nothing is endangered by continuing the
war. The best argument is thus taken out of the
mouths of the native agitators. But how speedily
this consideration may work we cannot pretend to
guess. It is only just to the Secretary of State for
the Colonies to observe that this favourable turn in
the e.ffairs of New Zealand is in a great measure to
be attributed to the despatches which were sent
from this country during the spring of the present
year. It is a signal instance of the wisdom—nay,
of the necessity—of interposing the due and para-
mount authority of the Imperial Government iu all
cases where Imperial interests are directly con.
cerned. Under the excuse of self-government the
Australian Colonies claim to exclude from all com-
munication another colony which had fallen under
their displeasure, and there was some reason to ap-
prehend that under a similar claim the Assembly of
New Zealand might employ her Majesty's forces,
supported out of Imperial funds, for the extermi-
nation of her Majesty's subjects, the aboriginal na-
tives of New Zealand. The attitude taken by the
Colonial-office has, we are happy to believe, put are
end to this danger. The New Zealanders will be far
readier to consider the terms of pacification now that
they feel they have to deal, not with the local Mi-
nistry representing an interest directly contrary to
their own, but with the Imperial Parliament, which
can have no other interest than to act impartially
between the two races. They feel they are not
going to be handed over to the mercy of irritated
and victorious enemies, but that they stand before
the tribunal of a Power which can and will do them
justice. We doubt not that we owe to these con-
siderations the pacification of the Tauranga tribes,
and we entertain the strongest hopes that this is
only the commencement of a movement destined
shortly to restore peace to New Zealand. The same
policy has also, we believe, very favourably influ-
enced the deliberations of the responsible Ministry
of New Zealand. The announcement that after the
close of the present year the burden of the war ex-
penditure will fall in a great measure on the colony
has, we have reason to believe, operated a most bene-
ficial change, if not in the opinions, at any rate in
the projects of the Colonial Government. They are
disposed to be moderate, because it has been made
quite clear to them that the cost of a violent and
aggressive policy will have to be borne by them-
selves. No amount of confiscated land, the only
property of which it is possible to deprive the na.
Lives, would compensate the colonists for a few
months of that expenditure which has hitherto been
borne by the home Government. It is their interest
to conclude the war just as they conceived it to be
before their interest to continue it, and we doubt
not that they will govern themselves accordingly.

POST.—The announcement that a motion for the
annexation of Lauenburg to Prussia has been agreed
to by the Landtag of that Duchy will probably abr.-
prise those who have not forgotten that at the com-
mencement of the late war, when Schleswigers and
Holsteiners were rejoicing in the prospect of a speedy
severance from Denmark, the population of Lauen-
burg declared their willingness to link their fate
with that of the Scandinavian monarchy. But in
the present instance it would scarcely be fair to
ascribe the change in the popular sentiment to mere
fickleness. If .Lauenburg does in truth desire to be
annexed to Prussia, the idea did not in all probia
bility originate with herself. Straws indicate the
current of the wind, and the motion to which the
Upper Chamber of the little Lauenburg Parliament
has given its assent may possibly denote the policy
which, if it be possible, Prussia intends to pursue,
not only in that Duchy but in those of Schleswig
and Holstein. Lauenburg always stood on a dif.
ferent footing in its relations with Denmark to either
-of the other Duchies--.:for, although, like Holstein,
forming-a-portion of the Germanic ConfearratiOn,
it was not like it interested, in that much vexed
question whose solution was finally to be effected
by the dismemberment of Denmark. 'The loyalty
evinced by Lauenburg to the Crown to which she
has been so long attached furnishes, perhaps, the
most conclusive answer to the charge so frequently
advanced against the Danish Government of having
drawn a distinction between German and Danish
subjects to the prejudice of the former. The
population of Lauenburg is almost exclusively
German) and tho attachment they have evinced to
