NEW ZEALAND.

We have been favoured with the following copy
of a telegram which Mr. Morrison, London agent
for the New Zealand Government, has received this

morning :

" The war is ended. The Governor is making a
tour through the interior of the Northern Island,
and is everywhere well received by the natives.
" The yield of gold is still increasing. Last
month over 100,000 ounces were produced."
*** This telegram bears no date, but doubtless refers to
intelligence to arrive by the next Australian mail, which
left Melbourne March 26.

FRANCE.

PARIS, APRIL 21.

The Constitutionnel of to-day publishes an article
signed by M. Paulin Simagrae, in which it remarks
upon the impatience of those journals who desire to
have explanations from the French Government on
the state of affairs in Germany. The article re-
minds those journals that France is not mixed up
either directly or indirectly with the questions at
issue between the two Great German Powers, and
continues thus :

" The Government of the Emperor has no right
to interfere. It regards the conflict as a spectator
only, following, however, its different phases with
the same viligance and
,solicitude which it bestows
upon all important questions of foreign policy.
The Imperial Government cannot pronounce its
opinion upon a conflict which assumes so many
different forms and undergoes almost every day
fresh modifications. Moreover, the French Govern-
ment could not express its opinion publicly 'without
sharing in the discussion upon the question at issue."

The Constitutionnel, in conclusion, demonstrates
by the despatches of Austria and Prussia, by the
manifestations of the popular wishes, and the atti-
tude of the secondary States, that the present posi-
tion of affairs present at least as many reasons for
expecting peace as war.

wills and Bequests.

The will of the Right Hon. William Henry Ten-
Earl of Limerick, was administered
ntoofBEhPl
erelAiajesty's Court of Probate, on the 2nd
arch, by the Right Hon. William Hale John
Charles, Earl of Limerick, heretofore Viscount
Glent-svorth, the son and residuary legatee, the
executors appointed—namely, the Very Rev. Bra-
bazon William Disney, Dean of Armagh, Sir
Charles E. Bayly Kennedy, Bart., and Mr. George
Rooper—having renounced the grant of probate.
His lordship succeeded to the title as second earl, in
1864, on the death of his grandfather, the first
peer, who was speaker of the Irish House of Com-
mons. His lordship executed his will on August
1, 1864, and died January 5, 1866, at the age of
54. He has bequeathed to his son, the present earl,
who was his only child by his first marriage, all
the manors, land, and other property over which
he had a power of disposition ; and appoints his
lordship residuary legatee, first charging his estates
with the payment of legacies of £l,OOO to each of
his seven younger children by his second marriage.
He also bequeathed to his son the present earl the
watch, seals, and jewellery usually worn by him ;
also his guns and pistols, and his coronation and
parliamentary robes and coronet. The will of Sir
William Gore Ouseley, K.C.J3., D.C.L., was proved
in the London court, on the 21st of March, by
Marcia Lady Ouseley, the relict and sole executrix.
The personalty was sworn under £14,000. Sir Wil-
liam had held from early life several diplomatic ap-
pointments, and latterly, in 1857, was appointed her
Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Central States of America ; and
died at his residence, Albemarle-street, on March
6, 1866, at the age of 69, having executed his will
on April 23, 1860, as he therein states, whilst at
New York, on his return to England from his mis-
sion to Central America ; whereby he bequeaths all
his estate, real and personal, whatsoever, and where-
soever, which he may have, own, or be entitled to at
the time of his decease, to his beloved wife, Marcia,
the daughter of Governor Van Ness, of the State of
Vermont, for her own absolute use. The attesting
witnesses are. James I. Rosswell and Charles W.
Van Ness, both of the Broadway, New York.—

match has been commenced in a pit at Brancopeth, near
Newcastle, for £3O a side. Large wagers are bet on the
two competitors, and quite an excitement is created in
the neighbourhood.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLocK.
There has been steady demand for discount ae-
nou'lmodation at the quotations current during the
last few days.
The movements of the precious metals during the
past week have been on a moderate scale. The
Imports have amounted to about £218,418, chiefly
f r°l.ll New York and Australia, while the exports
have been to the extent of £320,153, a large
Proportion of which has been despatched to the
Continent.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank of
England yesterday afternoon.

t According to Reuter's telegram, this morning,
he 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 55c. Flat.
„ ers °wing to sales in realisation of profits, and ad-
n
t,e rumours with regard to Austria and Prussia,
ere has been a decline of about 4. per cent. in the
value of
the British Funds. It may also be added
that
agitation produced by the Reform Bill, objec-
tionable to many vested interests, contributes to the
Prevailing depression.
Consols are, therefore, much under their legiti-
-late value, and there is a strong impression that
ialportant fluctuation will ensue. Among city
people the Conservative speeches have been exten-
sively discussed, and the views expressed are justly
kakitagonistic to the programme set out by the so-
called Liberal party. Consols are 'B7 4. for money,
and 87i 4. for the account.
Transactions have taken place in the New Threes
at rather lower quotations, and a full average Satur-
day, business has been negotiated. Bank of Eng-
land stock has been dealt in at prices ranging from
'l2 to 244, and Indian Five per Cents. are marked
104 to 106
stinrhe suspension of Barned's Banking Company
th—„ engages much attention, but it is understood
jo every endeavour is being made to protect the
terests of all concerned.
prep the Railway Share Market a heavy tone has
ailed, and

wards' Great Eastern and South Eastern have
