nor the sentiments of those.; in whose. presence it was

POTTINGEIL on , a fact ao,,honouralale to the conduct
which has acquired —fore-him . a reputation thus.de-
servedlyhigh in the metropolis of commerce and of
civilisaticin. " The Right Tlon. Baronet's eminent ser-
vices were handsornely noticed by the two gentlemen
whose speeches we have just recurred. to ; and in no
,passages' Of them do we more fully-concur than iri
those which. dwelt upon the extensive markets opened'
to our commerce by the treaty of Nankin, and the
liberal spirit in' which Sir HENRI- bael arranged the
fiscal terms on Which the trade lietween thnports of
_China and this country will be in future conduCted..

There were other features, however, in the pro-
ceedings at this banquet, which imparted to it an un-
usual and most gratifying interest. To do honour to
that much-respected guest who had opened to his coun-
trymen thethigh road of peaceful and honourable in•
tercourse with a
_nation --numbering three hundred
Millions of inhabitants—:nen of all parties, animated
by every variety of political opinions, had'assembled
in festal harmony: With perfect good taste and good
feeling political dismission was excluded from the

in the most decided manner on many paramount
questions of foreign and domestic policy, but now
combining in a graceful homage to the illustriens
merits of Sir H. POTTINGER. This circumstance
elicited one-of those interehanges of generous' and
disinterested commendation, too rare among the
statesmen of-other oenntries on such public occasions.
The Earl of ABERDEEN, in returning thanks for him-
self and his colleagues in office, said—
" I rely venture, on this occasion, to rejoice in meet-
ing one who, though he differs from me in many points,
concurs with >me in congratulating the distinguished
officer on the success of his negotiations, and the expe-
dition which preceded them. I allude to my Noble Friend
(Viscount Palmerston) who preceded me in the office
I now hue the honour to hold, and who has been the
means of obtaining for this-country the eminent services
of Sir Henry Pottinger ; and although my Noble
Friend was not so fortunate as to receive those commu-
nications from Sir Henry Pottinger which came into my
hands after he .had relinquished the office which I now
hold, yet he.,must have watched the whole .course of that
officer's public conduct In China with the most lively
interest' --(Cheers.) .

be pushed. The instruction to the Select Cuminiteee
was in these ternaa:=" To inquire into, the state of;
the colony of- New Zealand, and the proceedings 'of
the New Zealand Company." They appear, although
profoundly sensible to the: " extraordinary" difficulty'
and delicacy of the task imposed upon them, to have
addressed themselies to it boldly, but dispassionately.
They have- not shirked the duty because it was an
invidieui

opinions on the. policy and deportment of the British
Government with regardlothe occupation of, or the'

. .
Possessory title to, New. Zealand, And.the.pretensions
of the New Zealand Company. - -Our readers will
remember, probably, that
.we have contended, in
former articles on the affairs of New" Zealand, that
the normal error Of, a former Colonial Goverwnent
consisted in not availing itself, in the-first instance—
if New Zealand' coloni.ation by British. Subjects 'was
to be 'encouraged 'at all=c: the sound and.undoubteo,
title of priority of di.' rPr.,.. We denied the right
which that Compar < aostuned in it's outset of settling
the lands of the. islands composing this now recog-
• nixed colony before they themselves had derivedany
'title. under grant from the Crown to the allotments
which they underfOok to di-,pose of to intending end-
gr.
ants ; and we. expressed air ,attows-ntnent at the
vacillating demeanoui of her., MAJESTY Ministers,
• who, after denying their responsibility-for the acts of
the Company to• the :settlers' who had purchased. or
located on the faith of their Validity,., and in 'so
invalidating such transactions, or rather the contracts
under which they had occurred; as to have declared
that the islandrwere independent, and presented'thetn
with a national flag, subsequently erected New: Zee,
-land into a British colony... .We •might have added,
that they subsequently submitted their conflicting'
cliims to all the unoccupied lands of the colony, with
those of the New Zealand Company, to the arbitra.-

on of a third party, a private gentleman, under
.whose award the Company is entitled to an immense
extent of territory which, in their turn, they are now
complainants at being &bailed from. We;perceive
that . the-se: our --views are fully borne out by the' Re.
pOrt. of:the Select Committee, and especially by the
appended to it, to the declarations.
embodied in which we shall very speedily recur.: ••It-
is our painful duty, too,, to, repeat...tile conviction,

,ilth consideration and ministerial' energy`in having,
confined, 'in the first instance, his restraining inter-

effect to the?r unwarrantable assumptions by acts of

rights of the Crown been :mote; •distinhtly asserted,'
the unauthorised operations of the Company more 0

vigorously,put 'down, there is muchierobability that
the fatal. Massacre' at WV airau would not have after-
wards'occurred ; for the unfortunate misunderstand-
ings and prepossessions of, the natives as to thcright
of property, on their aide, to unreclairned or unoccu-
pied lands, could: not, in- that case, -have been pre-
cipitated. The instructions' to Governor I-lonsort,i
hOvvever, were, founded on an admission of!thesopre-
possessions, in the 'native mind, the same which per 7.
vaded the native mind on the conclusion of the treaty
of Waitangi. But if We' are compelled to impute
error of judgment.in these matters to the late Minis-
ter for the Colonies, we cannot exempt Lord
STANDBY, his *successor -in the :presentAdministra-
tion, from a degree of passive apathy or indiffarence
in dealing .with the *bele. of this momentous ques-
tion, This torpidity seems at -other times to haye
.been replaced by an irritable testiness—an impatience,
as it were, of a distasteful subject, which augUred
far • more unfavourably for 'the future interests and
permanent welfare of the young colony, than his
predecessor's' lack Of deeision, accompanied, as that
was, by declarations of -a sincere and cordial interest
