The West of England Conservative ;;iWednesday contains
the following extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship
North Star, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home, Bart., dated from
the river " Kni Kui, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, Oct. 6,
1845 :
"We have not lifted our anchor for ten weeks. Thank
goodness we are still as happy and comfortable as a ship
can possibly be made, and to remain so. We are on
the eve of a bad peace; the Governor is negotiating with
the disaffected jus at a moment that strong reinforcements
t
have arrived, and now that we are in a position to give them
a sound drubbing our hands are tied behind our backs. It
puzzles me how they will convince the people of England
that such a humiliating alternative was wise. I don't know
who takes the merit of planning the terms, but here they
are. I have them privately; they are not yet promulgated.
464 CONLITIONS ON WHICH TIIE GOVERNOR WILL CONc4:NT TO
A GENERAL PEACE.
" 1. The treaty of Waitangi to be binding.
2. The British colours to be sacred.
" 3. All plunder now in possession of natives to be forth-
with restored.

• ' 4. The following places to be given up to the Queen, a►nd
to remain unoccupied by any one until the decision of her
Majesty be signified :—Ports of Blave, Ohaiwar, Taiaonia,
Wangai, Kofow, Kaipatitu, and Waikau.
"' 5. Hostilities to cease entirely between all chiefs and
tribes now in arms with or against the Government.
(Signed) "R. FITZROY, Governor.' "

PUGILISM IN THE NORTH. —FATAL FIGHT.—NEW•
easmE-ox-Tyst, MARCH 11.—A light took place yesterday, at Blyth,
a neighbouring place, between two men, named Reilly and Cleghorn,
which terminated in the death of the former. The prize was 10/.
aside, and the occurrence being rare in this locality, attracted a
large crowd of spectators, including the Newcastle " Fancy," and
many who occupy higher pottitiens in society. Reilly was a young
man of ft., and weighing about Ilst.; Cleghorn, 3 ft. 8 in., and 10;t.
During the early rounds Cleghorn hail the advantage, but Reilly af-
terwards turned the tables upon his antagonist, and punished him
severely. However, in the 49th round, after fighting far not less
than two hours and a half, Cleghorn planted a crushing blow on
Reilly's lower jaw and neck, which brought hint to the ground as if
killed. He never rose again. Ills friends carried him to the Ridley
Anne, where, after lingering in great agony until this morning, he
died. A coroner's jury was summoned this afternoon, but the In-
quest stands over. Nrhat makes the matter worse, as against Ow
born is, that an ill-feeling has lung subsisted between him and the
unfortunate deceased.

The supply of horned cattle was unusually large. Good beef realised
MU 6d. per lb. ; barren cows, heifers, stinks, tee., were in great de-
mand. The quantity of sheep penned was not so large, in copse•
quenve of the abundance of food; the demand was much greater
than the supply. Mutton, in wool, realised from ss. 4d. to 6s. • out
of wool, from 4s. Ga. to ss. per stone ; store sheep fetched enormously
high prices, In some cases nearly after the rate of Is. per lb. The
pig-market was a large one, but in consequence of such high prices
being asked fur stores, very little business was done. English fat
hogs fetched from 9s. to 9s. 61 per score ; 'porkers, from 9s. 9d. tat
