NEIV ZEALAND.

The statement that a detachment was to leave India for
New Zealand was made in ignorance of the successes which
have followed the dismal tragedy at Poverty Bay. As
the Queen's Speech hinted that the colonists must rely
upon themselves, and as the colonists are now shewing that
they can do so, it is not probable that any assistance will
be sent. The colony is retrieving its disasters and its dia.
grace, and if the lesson has been dreadfully costly it may
Also be a inOulte value.

THE CHINLSE-IIIISS1V:

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
It is rich to hear from China the same ell,
about Mr. Burlingame's enthusiastic after dineel,
speeches in America as comes from the Utnte,
States about Mr. Reverdy Johnson's after dinner
speeches in England. A missionary eontradle 5
this assertion of the Ambassador. " China invite
the unfurling of the glorious banner of the cress o
every hill-top and in every valley of the empirc
which leaves the impression that the Chinese t'
vernment favours Christian missions and uPl3°his
that
those engaged in them. The missionary says t'n/
so far is this from being true, that the Goverunle,
officers take every opportunity to persecute Christ
tians, and he gives three recent instances of Wantort

outrages upon missionaries and their converts.
et
Formosa violent persecution of Christians has bees
going on for three years, in disregard of all tre.3 t
engagements, and no remonstrances on the sabieot
obtain notice. The missionary adds--" We dollof
believe that China is calling for Christianity,
bill
does she welcome the erection of the cross on herb
tops, or in her valleys ; at least we have yet to le',
it. We would be glad to have a healthy and into,is
gent interest created in America in regard to the die
sionary work in China. But we deprecate an is
terest founded on sensational, after-dinner spee3betilt
which, in fact, have no real foundation to rest oPst°o
as far as the acts of the Chinese Government lea
concerned. It is to be hoped that the unfounuao,
impression as to the intention of the Chinese 684
vernment in regard to Christian missions, 015,„
by these sensational reports, will not react to the
jury of the cause, when the facts become know°. le
America, but will be overruled for good." If tilkiso
all the missionary has to complain of he might °to

little or nothing. There is a good article in Blaet

come to those of Great Britain and Fr3neeot,
Mr. Burlingame is a gentleman of Scottish degetes,
and proud of his ancestry, as most American sts
rsi
men are. Eleven years ago he sat in the Fedeof
House of Representatives as one of the members
Boston. He was an earnest and eloquent member
of the Anti-Slavery party, at a time when it re•
quired considerable courage to avow such unlibe
lar opinions. Next to Mr. Sumner, he was tici
most noted Abolitionist in Congress ; and see.
