The news by this mail is almost entirely concen-
trated in the Wanganui-Taranakicampaign, which,
so far as the forces under General Cameron arc con-
cerned, has dragged its slow length along without
anything very startling to record. Determined not
to attack the natives in the Wareroa pah, on the
banks of the Waitotara river, the General made a
stealthy night march on the sth of February, and,
of course, crossed it without opposition ; the natives
never dreaming that so large a force of men, whose
sole business was to fight, would decline their chal-
lenge. On the 16th of the same month the troops
made another night march, avoiding the inland
route as far as possible, and after toiling along the
soft sand on the sea coast arrived at Patea at nine
o'clock a.m. without seeing or hearing a native,
friendly or rebel. 'This night march to Patea, a
distance of 15 or 16 miles, is all there is to show for
the past month. Occasionally, a few natives are
seen, but they are in such small parties as only to
be able to fire a few defiant shots when safely out of
the range of our rifles. The Wareroa pah is still
occupied, and the fact that it is so is a constant
source of anxiety to the few posts along the line,
keeping the troops perpetually on the alert, and
necessitating the employment of strong escorts.
What to do next the General does not know. To
return to Wanganui
would be to neutralise any
good that may have been done, and his caution
prevents his going on. On the 3d inst. the Gover-
nor paid a flying
visit to the General quarters,
landing from the Esk in one of the Commissariat
tenders. Notwithstanding that reinforcements of
600 to 700 men have arrived from the north, it is
understood that the General considers the 4,000
men immediately under his orders insufficient for
the prosecution of the campaign, and has therefore
urged his Excellency to apply for 2,000 addi-
tional troops from England. Colonel Warre's
intended movement from Taranaki (with a
view to meeting the General at Patea) has been
countermanded, and his force diminished, and at
present the whole campaign is hung up, the General
either waiting for the weather, for further reinforce-
ments, or for something else that few know but him-
self. A corps of bushrangers and some cavalry are
being organized from among the settlers in Wan-
ganui and Taranaki for service at Patea, most of the
militia being still posted in redoubts far away from
their homes and avocations. The Governor, acting
on the advice of his Ministers no less than on his
own conviction, is reported to have peremptorily re-
fused to apply for the reinforcements requested, and
to have urged the General to accelerate his move-
ments and open up a chain of communication as far
as Taranaki without further delay. In two months
more the Assembly will be called together, and the
Governor is no less anxious than his Ministers to be
able to meet that body with a little better grace
than present circumstances seem to warrant, as
otherwise the colony will be so sick and tired of the
whole affair that the daily growing conviction that
a small force over whom the colony has control is
infinitely preferable to the large, costly, and inde-
pendent
assume force acting under ;Imperial instructions
shape.will er I
feel exceedingly
loath to pursue this subject. General Cameron has
an European reputation, but, however fitted for the
a prominent
style of warfare to which his long lifetime has been
devoted, the stern logic of experience proves that he
is not the man for such warfare as he is now en-
gaged in. His advanced age, if it does not dull the
power to conceive, prevents him from adopting
movements that require the energy of a younger
frame personally to carry out, and if this wretched
war is ever to be thoroughly crushed, if the British
power is speedily to regain its prestige, the task of
doing so will have to be intrusted to other guidance.
While the British force is inactive, and exhibiting
to the rebels a position that fills them alike with
wonder and contempt, our native allies have again
signalized themselves. I have on a previous occa-
sion expressed the fear lest the fanatic rebels should
turn their attention to the settled districts. The
Wanganui River has been and still is the great bar-
rier preventing it. For 70 miles beyond the town-
ship it has been long guarded by loyal nativearrby

It would be a pity to spoil the simplicity, modesty,
and brevity of this unique despatch. It contains no
list of names deserving of honourable mention to
her Majesty for the part they took on the occasion,
an omission which, it is to be hoped, others more
accustomed to that character of despatch writing
will be found ready to supply. Fifteen of the rebels
were killed, and it was at first supposed that there
were 80 taken prisoners. General Mete Kingi saved
us, however, all chance of another imbroglio such
as that which occurred in the north. The same
feeling of chivalry which induced him to plead
with Dr. Featherston for the release of the pri-
soners taken at Montoa, although ovens had been
built to cook himself and followers had they been
vanquished, led him to resolve in this instance to
avoid inflicting the degradation of captivity, and
on Pehi and his people agreeing to give up their
arms and swear allegiance they were treated as
having capitulated on those terms, and allowed to
remain without further molestation. These loyal
natives were anxious last May to sweep the coast
as far as Taranaki, but it was not allowed because
of its interference with the General's plans, and they
are again anxious to do so, naively proposing that
the duties of the troops should be confined to guard-
ing the town. The effect of this victory cannot be
overrated. It sets the minds of the settlers in the
rear of the river at rest, as it is by no means likely
that any second attempt will be made to force it yet
awhile. John Williams was buried on the 27th of
February with military honours. On the 3d of
March the ceremony of delivering up the captured
guns to the Hon. Mr. Mantel, the Native Minister,
took place ; and, on the day following, the presen-
tation of a colour to the victors was attended with
much parade, Mrs. Colonel Logan reading the fol-
lowing address :-
1 " Chiefs and Men of Wanganui,--When the Queen's'
soldiers have behaved with greatbravery she presents them
with colours as a sign of her approbation, and also that in
future battles they may feel that she is present with thsm,
when they look upon her flag. When the brave chiefs and
men.of Wanganui fought at Montoa to save the lives of
European women and children from the hands of fanatics
who were maddened by the teaching of a false prophet, we,
the ladies of Wanganui, Rangitikei, and Manawatu, deter-
mined to give them this flag as a proof of our admiration of
their noble conduct in our cause, also in memory of those
who were killed in that battle. Since then they have fought
again for us at Ohoutahi, and a brave chief has fallen, over
whose body we .were proud to see our flag wave for the first
time ; and we believe that, coming from its grave, it will
be to you, Maori chiefs, doubly sacred ; and you will hand
down to your children's children the flag of our Queen,
which was laid over the body of John Williams.--God save
the Queen !"

Sir George Grey, beingfortunately in Wellington,
went up to Wanganui on the sth inst., and on send-
ing up the river for Pehi, that chief came and deli-
vered Maori tokens of submission, having in the
meantime given practical proof of his present sin-
cerity by turning back a contingent from Taupo
sent to his assistance.

This is not the only act for which we are indebted
to the friendly natives, those near Tauranga having
captured a party of about 30 fanatics. Nothing of
any moment has occurred in the neighbourhood of
Waikato, but the telegram of Thompson's submis
sion, to which I so guardedly alluded last month,
turns out to be premature. In consequence of the
absolute quiet northwards the Governor has visited
Wellington, where his ministry have been waiting
for several weeks. His Excellency is at present in
Wanganui, but after returning to Auckland for two
or three weeks to set going the machinery for inves-
tigating the titles of friendly natives to portions of
the confiscated blocks in Waikato, he intends re-
turning to Wellington to take up his permanent
official abode. I am happy to say that the most
perfect understanding prevails between the Gover-
nor and his ministry on all points.
And here I may very briefly allude to a rumour
which is said to have been current in London when
the last (December) mail left—that General
Cameron was to be appointed Governor Grey's suc-
cessor. The colony would be very glad to see a
change of governors, and it seems to be admitted on
all hands that Governor Grey's work here is done ;
but the change to General Cameron would be a
change for the worse. If the experience of a
colonist who has lived under every governor New
Zealand has had is of any worth, it is decidedly
opposed to making either a naval or military com-
mander our governor at this crisis. Neither the
quarterdeck nor the camp is a fit school for
governors who are required to combine the dele-
gated authority of the Imperial Government with
the desire to work responsible institutions. A
rough-and-ready commander is wanted for the field,
but a civilian of honourable tact is wanted for the
iceregal representative. Sir Harry Smith's boot-
kissing and tearing of treaties are not the model to
be copied in reference to conquered rebels in New
Zealand, but it would be the model which a Governor
of the quarter-deck rough-and-ready school would
be most likely to adopt.
I regret to state that the attempts which have
been made in Australia and New Zealand to raise
money by Exchequer-bills has so far proved a
failure, the amounts tendered for at par being small,
notwithstanding that the interest is 8 per cent.,
capitalists pleading, as their reason for having so
little to do with these securities, the.prolongatio.n of
hostilities which the slow movements of the General
I lead them to anticipate. The finances of the

Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Pernall, metro-
politan poor-law inspector, opened an inquiry as to certain
allegations which had been made by a pauper named
George Grant, in a letter addressed by him to the sitting
magistrate at Clerkenwell Police-court, in which he charged
the authorities of St. Pancras with having incarcerated him
in the separation ward for several weeks to the great detri-
ment of his health.

A special board of directors of the poor had been sum-
moned to meet at the Vestry-hall, in which the inquiry
took place, Mr. Churchwarden Robson in the chair, and
which was very fully attended. Mr. W. D. Cooper, solicitor
to the parish, and Mr. Plaw, clerk to the board, were also
present.

- Mr. Farnall, having taken his seat by the side of the
chairman, said he was instructed by the Poor-Law Board
to make this inquiry, in consequence of their having re-
ceived a letter from Mr.D'Eyncourt, the sitting magistrate
at Clerkenwell Police-court, and he was most anxious to
have the assistance of the board in this inquiry.
George Grant, who had made the complaint, as also an
inmate named Henry James, who had written a similar
letter to the Poor-Law Board, were both present, and, hav-
ing been sworn, had their letters read over to them
by the inspector. The charge was that, between the 29th
March and the Ist May, the date of the letters, they had
been incarcerated in the separation ward, and that for 33
consecutive days Grant had not been allowed to approach
within some distance of the door of his place of confine-
ment. Being but a few yards from the dead-house, they
described the stench as frightful, and they had also to suffer
from the stench of a closet and urinal, &c.l
Mr. Morrison, master of St. Pancras workhouse, was first
examined, and said—l have been four years master of the
workhouse. I have heard the letters read over which have
been written by James and Grant. They have alwaysbeen
in the workhouse, or nearly so, since I have been there—
Grant continually. Grant had lost his right hand by some
machinery before I came there. Had never had to confine
Grant for any misconduct. James's conduct in the house
had been unexceptionable. He has short sight and weak
eyes. I recollect receiving an order of the board directing
that the inmates Grey, Grant, and James should be only
employed in the separation ward. That was dated 28th
March last. I carried that order out as soon as I could, and
they were placed in the separation ward. I understand the
separation ward to be the refractory ward, where refrac-

inasmuch as he was in company with Grant when this
alleged robbery took place. More than six weeks previously
it became known that an inmate named Samuel Chosold
was in possession of some £5 or £6 of money, and Grant
undertook to take care of it, and on he and James going
out one Sunday to the services at St. Paul's Cathedral,
Grant alleged that his coat-pocket, in which he had kept
the money, had been cut away, and he lost it. I felt my-
self bound, when I received it under the circumstances,
that I was compelled to carry out this order. Since I have
been master of the workhouse I have never been supplied
with any regulations of the Poor-law Board. Ido not
know of their existence in the parish. I do not know of
any orders issued from the Poor-law Board to this parish
in the year 1856, which, as to punishment of paupers,
directed that inmates may be punished by the directors or
by the master. Amongst others they can be punished,
Mr. Farnall stated, for robbery, or suspicion of robbery.
The Inspector here read the list of things which are con.-
sidered disorderly or refractory under the regulations of the
Poor-law Board, and the mode of punishment to which they
may be subjected.

Evidence continued—The dietary is wholly under the
supervision of the medical officer where he thinks any alter-
ation necessary. The dietary of the separation Ward is less

By Directors of the Poor—l don't say the separation
wards were re-created for the purpose of incarcerating
James and Grant. Received no order from the house com-
mittee to employ these men in carrying coals. Grant could
not do so. Received an order on the 14th February that
Grant was no longer to be employed as a messenger, or be
allowed about the house ; and I therefore sent him to the
Able men's ward, and told him not to leave it. This al-
leged robbery came out while Grant was :an inmate of the
able-bodied men's ward. It was found that the amount lost
was between £5 and £6, and when the directors investigated
it, it was found the offence had been condoned, and that
Grant had agreed to pay Clissold so much a week, and that
6d. or ls. had actually been paid. I believe it was the
knowledge of the offence being condoned by the parties
which induced the directors to abstain from prosecuting
Grant. The directors remonstrated with me about the
matron employing Grant about the house. It was the con-
tinuance of such employment, I believe, that induced the
directors to adopt the stringent order that both Grant and
James should be placed in the separation ward.
Mr. Farnall read an extract from a letter which James
had sent to the Poor-law Board, in which ho charged Mr.
J. It. Collins, a director, with calling him a miscreant, to
which Mr. Collins replied that he had no recollection of
using such an expression, although he fully believed that
James and Grant were guilty of the robbery, as they were
seen spending money, and Grant came home drunk that
night.

Mr. John Roberts examined—l am surgeon of the St
Pancras Workhouse. I know George Grant, and also the

to me by you in the form prescribed by the regulations of
the Poor-law Board. Grant was not under my hands for
medical treatment before he went to the separation ward.
I treated him after he went there for bronchitis. I sawno
reason, from either the character of that ward or the state
of his malady, for a medical man to interfere. He never
complained to me of the ward in any way. I was aware
of the amount of diet he required. I considered it sufficient,
but I ordered him tea instead of gruel. The dietary of the
separate ward is 6oz. of meat every Sunday. They have
eight slices of bread and a pint of milk porridge daily. On
Monday, for dinner a pint of pea-soup, and Boz. of bread for
supper. On Tuesday, for dinner 12oz. suet pudding. I
consider the dietary sufficient as laid down by the dietary

h I under
table, as it is for those who are in that ward for punish-
ment. It is a lower diet.
Mr. Farnall—There is no right in workhouses to put
people on a lower diet for punishment except beyond a cer-

but I said to one on April 28 that I thought it would be well
to remove Grant, as I thought his health would suffer. I
meant that he should have open air and exercise, as I noticed
he looked paler that day. I told Grant I had recommended
that he might be allowed to go out. On May 1 Grant came
to me, but did not look so pallid, but the next day an order
was given by the directors that he should have open air and
exercise if I thought he required it. I knew he had then
written to the magistrate, and next day I gave instructions
that Grant was to go out for exercise morning and evening,
most convenient to the master. I did not then think him to
be any worse, but I thought it better to let him out as a.
precautionary measure. I consider I have the fullest power
to order in such cases on my own authority. James was
not included in that order. As a medical man Ido not
think such confinement is right. Neither of them complained.
to me nor to the superintendent of the ward.
By Henry James—l have examined the separation ward,
but did not test the atmosphere. I have been so frequently
in that ward that lam a judge of the condition of it. Igo
oftener if any ono wants me. Windows in the walls of a.
room would improve the ventilation.
By a Member of the Board—My attention was directed
to Grant on account of his being unwell. I did not attend
anyone else in the ward. I have power to order any amount
or description of diet I consider necessary for inmates at
any time, and I have never on any occasion been called to
account or complained of for doing so.
The inquiry was then adjourned till Thursday next.
