SPAIN.

- -
It is said that the changes proposed to be made in
the Spanish note by Lord Palmerston, and acceded
to by General Narvaezore es follows:—The original
sztd,'" There never existed on the part of the Spanish
Government the remotest intention of offering any
offence whatever to England, to the Queen of Eng-
land or to the English Government." Lord Palmer-
stun wade only the
,change of a single word in the
phrase, viz., " Any ofEence whatever to Great
13ritaht." Admitted.

'Tat the resolution adopted (respecting Sir Henry
Bulwer) was so adopted with much regret, and forced
by the grave circumstances of the moment. Lord
.Palmerston suggested the word "alarming" instead
of " grave." Admitted.
The English Government will add, and the Spanish
Government admits, beforehand, this (regret) with
respect to Sir Henry Bulwer.
The Government of her Britannic Majesty would
desire the return to Madrid of Sir Henry Bulwer,
whose services have not for a single instant ceased to
be agreeable and useful ; but, charged as he is with
an important mission elsewhere, the Government
of her Britannic Alajesty renounces re-accrediting
him' tkc,
General Narvaez declares that notwithstanding the
tintoward occurrence of 1848, his personal friendship
for Sir henry Bulwer continues unabated, and that
his only regret is not being able, 'at such a happy
moment of reconciliation, to grasp his former friend
by the hand. The' hole of the Spanish Ministry and
Court do justice to the spirit of frankness and goodwill
with which Lord Palmerston met the advances of the
Spanish Government.

NEW ZEALAND.

ILYMOVIIT, APRIL 6.—The merchant ship William
a
Hyde, 650 tons burden, John Lythcote Applewhaite,
Hon. Company's Service, commander, arrived in the
Sound this forenoon ; left Auckland, New Zealand,
D'ec. 28.
her Majestv's sloop Fly, 14, Commander H. A.
Oliver, with -Mr. Sheriff -Berrey passenger, left
Auckland December 20, for Wellington. . Her
Majesty's frigate Havannah, 19, Captain John E.
Erskine, was to sail from Sydney early in December,
for Port. Nicholson, where she was to meet the.. Fly.
A large IGoverninent steamer was expected daily at
Auckland.
Business at New Zealand required no special notice.
The weather for the week, ending Saturday, December
1 4 was most unseasonable, having been unusually dull,
cloudy, and windy, benefiting the potato an d
grain crops, and damaging the hay, the bar-
veoing of which had commenced. Pensioners
sent out by Government were not found to be
of much service in agriculf,ural pursuits. Servant
girls were extremely scarce, and
-„ ,*cly much wanted
in the colony. Large numbers of settlers were emi-
grating to the " diggins ;" and the barque Ayon, of
300 tons, the brig Fanny, and another vessel, were
laid on for goods and passengers for California. This
loss of labourers was greatly complained of by those
determined to remain at New Zealand. The natives
were peaceable and well disposed.
The William Hyde brings six passengers—viz.,
Dr. Frenkis, who went out superintendent of the
emigrant ship Spartan, to Adelaide ; Dr. Car and
lady, who went out in the Burrampoor to South
Australia ; Mrs. Boland and child, widow of a clergy-
man of the Established Church, who died at New
Zealand ; and Mr. Cunningham, a steerage passenger.
