answer as to the nature of the charge put (
into the pistols. In his first declaration he said
that they were loaded with slugs, which he had
made himself, but he refused to say of what metal
they were made, adding, that, in all probability, they
would be found, when if shown to him he could rea-
dily recognise them, but until then it would be use-
less to enter into any further details. The prisoner
continues perfectly calm and composed. He enters
into conversation with his keepers, and appears to
look with impatience to the hour for his meals, which
he takes with a good appetite, and he sleeps well.
The heat had become almost intolerable in Paris.
On Tuesday the thermometer (Farenheit) marked
87i degrees; on Wednesday 951.
" We have received from Pontanion," says the
Con stitutionnel—

- -
" Some information of rather a strange nature. We have
been told that three Englishmen, sentenced last year by the
first Council of War, sitting at Papieti (Otaheite), to ten years'
bard labour, and confined during six weeks in the Layne of
Brest, had been hastily removed from it on the 25th of July,
and conveyed to Pontanion. It was stated that they were
released in consequence of a letter written by one of them
to his ambassador in Paris, who had been instructed by his
Government to expostulate upon the condemnation of his
countrymen by a French court-martial, sitting in a country
which England did nut consider placed under the authority
of France. We are the more inclined to credit this suppos►-
tion, as an order was lately received to take off the chains
and the convict dress which these men had brought with
them to Pontanion. This looks very like another Pritchard
affair."

NE W ZEALAND.
(From the Times.)
We have received New Zealand papers to the 15th
March inclusive. It appears from these that Governor
Grey had returned from the Bay of Islands, where he
had effectually subdued and brought to submission
lleke and Kawiti. The two rebel chiefs throw them
selves wholly on the mercy of his Excellency, resigning
all their lands, leaving it entirely to him to dictate the
terms on which peace and order are to be re-established
at the northern part of the Island. It is said that
Governor Grey does not intend to deprive neke and
Kawiti of their lands, or to make them an appendage to
the British Crown. The chief Nene, who had been
received as a mediator in the matter returns forthwith
to the Bay of islands, and the blockade is to be at once
removed, and the ports opened, and the customs re-
established.

The following extracts show the state of affitirs in the
other parts of the colony :
(From the New Zealand Spectator cf Feb. 23.)
On Monday Mr. St. Hill, the police magistrate, went
over to the Hutt district, in obedience to the instruc-
tions of his Excellency, to put the settlers in possession
of the land, but they were immediately driven back by
the natives, and it was evident that an armed demon-
stration, and perhaps the employment of force, would
be absolutely necessary to compel these natives to sub-
mission. Accordingly a body of troops, amounting to
340 men,under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Hulme, left Wellington at five o'clock on Tuesday
morning, and arrived at the Hutt bridge at eight o'clock,
where they remained while a message was sent to
Kaparetehau, the chief who has been acting under
the directions of Rangihaeata, intimating the Go-
vernor's desire to see him. His Excellency find-
ing any attempt to procure an interview with this chief
fruitless, the troops were ordered to advance to the dis-
puted ground, and they crossed the Hutt by the ford
near Mr. Boulcott's barn, and encamped in a large
Maori potato-field, a short distance above Mr. Boulcott's
section. The Ai aories immediately retired before the
troops, and their numbers were rapidly thinned by the
desertion of Taringa Kuri, and others who had no inten-
tion of offering any serious opposition, but who desired
to try if the Government were in earnest. Towards the
evening the natives retired to the hills, and left the troops
in possession of the Valley of the Ilutt, so that it was
considered unnecessary to keep so large a force there,
and on Thursday morning a part of the troops re-
turned to Wellington, leaving about two hundred
men in possession of the disputed land. The na-
tives expelled from the Valley of the Hutt were a small
branch of the Ngatiawa tribe, called the Ngatitama,
headed by Taringa Kuri, one of the parties to the deed
of sale to the New Zealand Company, a large party of
vagrants from Wanganui, under E. Maka, who had left
that place in consequence of adultery with another
chief's wife, and the Ngatirangatahi. These last came
originally rom the upper part of the Wanganui river to
Porirua. The head men amongst them were Kaparetehau,
commonly called E Pare, E Horo, Te Kohera, Te Arihi,
Papa Ahuapa, Kore, Te Atuta, and Kakaherea. They
were all present at, and took part in, the sale of this
district to the New Zealand Company in 1839. They
were also at the Wairau massacre, where the two
first were amongst the most active and ferocious,
and where Atuta was killed. Kakaherea died at
Porirua in 1844, and the rest, immediately after
the Wairau massacre, usurped land on the banks
of the Hutt, under Rangihaeta's sanction, and
have conticued ever since to molest and despoil the
settlers with impunity up to the time of their expulsion
by the troops on Wednesday last. That they had no
title to the land is confessed by Taringa Kull, who, in
his evidence before Mr. Spain's court, expressly admits
that these chiefs were all present at the original sale of
the land to Colonel Wakefield, that this was part of the
land, and that they sold it for fear of Rauparaha and
Watanui. The land has since been bought again by
Captain Fitzroy, with the Company's money, but it re-
mained for our present Governor to do justice to the
settlers by.putting them in possession of the land, and
driving away the horde of robbers and murderers to
whose exactions they have been so long exposed. It
was left for Captain Grey to assure to the " distressed
settlers in Cook's Straits" protection to life and pro-
perty.
(From the New Zealand Spectat6r of the 21st February.)

We understand that his Excellency proceeds on Tues-
day next in her Majesty's steamer Driver to Wanganui,
for the purpose of settling with the natives of that
district all ;questions and disputes connected with the
land claims, and of putting the settlers in possession of
their land. The natives will have their reserves pointed
out to them, and after the necessary arrangements are
all completed, the compensation money will be for-
warded to Wanganui, for distribution among them.
His Excellency will then visit Nelson and New Ply-
mouth to settle all questions connected with the land
claims in those districts, and will afterwards return to
VUllington. It is supposed his Excellency's visit to the
other settlements in Cook's Straits will occupy about
three weeks. We believe Mrs. Grey will not accom-
pany his Excellency.
(From the New Zealand Spectator of March 15.)

RANGIHAEATA.—Some persons who have just arrived
from the coast state that 200 armed natives, from Taupo,
have joined Rangihaeata, and the settlers at Manawatu
are very apprehensive that, in the event of an engage-
ment between the•troops and the natives, this chief will
make reprisals, and endeavour to cut off the outsettlers.
On Thursday (three days only after the Governor's visit
to Porirua) news arrived that Rangihaeata threatened
to stop Mr. Skipwith's sheep, and to kill them if the
persons in charge of them attempted to drive them be-
yond Porirua. It is plain that very little reliance can be
placed in Rangihaeata's professions of peace ; he is
evidently temporizing and watching the course of events,
and waiting for some favourable opportunity of which he
may take advantage ; as long as he is permitted to re-
main at large, he will always be a source of annoyance
and trouble to the settlers.

The Ford Abbey estate, which our readers will
remember was sold by George Robins a few weeks since to
the Rev. Mr. Lawrence Gwynne, of Teignmouth, for 52,000
guineas, is, we perceive, most unexpectedly again in the
market. The advertisement explains the why and the
wherefore; at all events, it will afford an opportunity to the
Catholic body, who delayed arriving at a favourable conclu-
sion in time for the last auction, to repair the mischief they
then encountered. It is beyond all doubt the finest
monastery throughout England, and, with its splendid
demesne, was estimated the other day at 70,000 guineas, so
that the possiblity is, that at the approaching sale (which
must be a peremptory one) it will sell higher than to Mr.
Gwynne; but we say "nous verrons."
ALARMING FIRE AT Poman —On Thursday night,
about eight o'clock, some alarm was created at Poplar,
through the outbreak of a fire upon the premises belonging
to Sir Charles Price and Co., seed-crushers and oil mer-
chants, situate at Millwall. It commenced in the boiling
house, a detached building, but near the tar stores. The
boiling over of a copper of oil, it is presumed, was the cause.
The intelligence was promptly forwarded to the engine sta-
tions, and very speedily the several engines of the London
essablishment and the West of England Company arrived.
Previous to their arrival near 150 gallons of oil and several
puncheons, together with some other articles of stock, were
in a blaze. By ten o'clock the firemen and workmen hap-
pily succeeded in extinguishing the fire, but not before a
considerable quantity of the stock was destroyed. We un-
derstand that the property was insured in the Imperial and
West of England Insurance Companies.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 60,000 to
70,000 bales. American sorts ranged from 4d. to 5%d. per
lb.—Shares were not so lively.
We have been favoured with a file of the New Zealand
Spectator, which bears date as late as the 14th March last.
They notice several events which, as far as the colony is
concerned, are of interest. From a statement made of the
assets and liabilities of the Colonial Treasury of New Zealand,
it appears that the liabilities amounted on the 15th
November to 53,9391. 13s. 2d., and the assets to 499/. 9s. Id.
The amount of specie in the Treasury chest was but
227/. 9s. Id., and taking bad and doubtful debts off,
there was the considerable amount of 4401. 4s. ld., to be
provided for. In the three quarters ending September, 1845,
the sale of Crown Lands had only produced 2271. 7s. 2d. It
must be admitted that, notwithstanding the Parliamen-
tary grant, the revenue accounts of the colony are ilea very
indifferent position. The contenCon with respect to the Govern-
ment grants ofland were still kept up, and it is affirmed that they
have to a very considerable extent crippled the power of the
Government. Indeed, it is asserted that the confirmation by
Lord Stanley of the purchases under Captain Fitzroy's
penny-an-acre proclamation would., as far as Auckland is
concerned, tend to prevent immigration in that district.
We cannot, however, believe the assertion hazarded that the
Government had become powerless in that district. A pro-
clamation had been issued by the Governor putting an end
to martial law. It would appear that a very fair amount of
business is doing in the markets of New Zealand. Lamb's-
wool was freely taken at ls. 4d. per good price for the
produce of the colony. In imports a considerable amount
of business was done. Freights were In detnand at from 41.
to Gl. per ton.
From another source we learn that more than thirty fami-
lies, settled in the valley of the Huth, had been driven from
their houses by armed natives, that their crops had been in-
jured, and much property plundered. There was, however,
but little personal violence. The military had punished the
offenders, but not much of the property had been restored.
In the Censol Market there have been but a very few pur-
chases made this morning. For the Account the only prices
have been 96; and for Money, 953/4 %. The premium upon
Exchequer-bills is lower-7s. being now the only price. A
purchase has been made in Bank Stock at 20914 ; and In-
dia Stock is firm, at a rise from 260% to 262. The New
Five per Cent. Annuities are at 121.
In the Foreign Stock Market the principal feature has
been a fall of from 3 to 4 per cent. in the Portuguese Bonds,
in consequence of some very heavy sales, said to amount to
about 25,000/. or 30,000/. of the Four per Cents. The present
price is from 38 to 40. Spanish Consols for the Account re-
mains at about 26 ; the Three per Cents. at 361/4 • Mexicans
have rallied to 25; but the Brazilian Bonds are heavy at 88.
The Railway Share Market is firm this morning. There
is a very good demand for East India Scrip, of which consi-
derable amounts have been taken within the last few days.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our market since Monday have
been on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples of that
article to-day was small ; still, however, owing to the prevailing fine
weather, the demand was exceedingly keavy, at almost nominal
currencies. Nearly 12,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to
hand. All descriptions were a mere drug, but not cheaper. We had
a limited quantity of Barley on offer, yet the sale for it, as well as
Malt, was excessively dull, at barely late rates, and a clearance was
not effected. Very large quantities of foreign Oats, viz., 23,410
quarters, have reached us. Thisleausecl: the Oat trade to rule dull,
and prices to have a downward tendency. Beans, Peas, and Flour,
as last quoted.

Our market was seinewlmt heavily supplied witlaleasts, both as
respects number and quality. The demand for that description of
stock was, therefore, in a very inactive state, at barely, but at no-
thing quotable beneath, last week's prices. There were on offer 240
Beasts, 430 Sheep and Lambs, and 34 Calves from Holland. The
numbers of Sheep were not to say extensive ; while the Mutton
trade was tolerably firm, at full currencies. In Lambs—the supply
of which was good—a fair amount of business was doing, at late
rates. With Calves, owing to the large supply offering, the trade
was very dull, and the quotations had a downward tendeicy. The
sale for Pigs was heavy, at late rates. Mitch Cows moved off hea-
vily, at from 161 to 191 each, including their Small Calf '4:Suckling
Calves, 18s to 29s ; and quarter-old Store Pigs, 16s to 19s each.
