NEW ZEALAND.
Lord LVTTELTON asked what the intentions of the

native otir "- He regretted to be obliged

Mosty's dOleaint ins. The great want of
kiw of order that some sort of
igst the natives, who,

well ; and he hoped he
to go on in the manner in which he had
began, He thought it absolutely necessary that the ex-
penses of the war should be thrown upon the colony,
because as long as they would make war at other
people's expense there was no knowing how long it
would continue. Many of the people in Auckland actually
derived the greatest benefit by the continuance of the hos-
tilities, and, under such circumstances, it was absolutely
necessary that those who had been the cause of the outbreak
should be made responsible for expenses that had thereby
been incurred.

The Dresent S

B lir

Lord GRANVILLE described some of the difficulties
with which the Government of New Zealand had had to
contend, and in defence of the present policy, urged the
necessity of convincing the native population of the power
of England.
Lord LYVEDEN said the natives had been alienated
from the Europeans, and did not believe their promises.
The question was how the confidence that once existed could
be restored. He believed the colony would never be at
peace so long as the settlers could draw on the purse of
Great Britain for cost of ware of which the local expendi-
ture was so profitable.
Lord CLANCARTY advised a policy more equitable
towards the natives, who had never been fairly treated.
Lord GREY traced most of the difficulties of the colony
to its political constitution, that had thrown all the govern-
ing power into the hands of the white settlers.
The subject then dropped.

The order of the day for going into committee on the
County Courts Act Amendment Bill was postponed till
Friday.
Their lordships then adjourned.
