We have received files of the New Zealand and
Australian journals, which give detailed particulars of
events that have transpired in New Zealand since the
disastrous and sanguinary affair at Wairau, in June
last, in which, it will be remembered, no less than
five-and-twenty whites are supposed to have perished
on the field, or to have been wounded and since
died. From the interesting narrative given of
this melancholy affray by the police magis-
trate, Mr. M‘Dorrooff, and printed in the New
Zealand Colonist, it would seem that the outbreak
was really unpremeditated on the part of the natives,
who never fired a shot until after five of their number
had fallen from the fire of the whites, including the wife
of a chief named RANGIHAIATA, who held, at the mo-
ment of her death, one of the chief's infant sons in her
arms. The determined hostility of this chief to the
European settlers was well known. lie had sworn to
extirpate them, but has himself since died from mor-
tification of the foot, occasioned by its having been
transfixed by the stump of one of the thorny under-
woods of the country. The better disposition of the
native tribes, generally, towards us may be well in-
ferred from the fact, that the native population of a
considerable district refused to receive this man into
the protection of their territory, lest they should
thereby bring down on themselves the displeasure of
the English Government settlers. On the 24th June
Mr. M‘Dosfoou issued a proclamation, dated " Port
Nicholson," calling on the natives to keep quiet, and
not to fear that it was the intention of the English
authorities to take vengeance on them for the blood
spilled at Wairau ; it apprised them that diligent in-
quiry would be made in the first instance, and the
law left to take its course with' the offenders, whether
these proved to be native or English. Coinci-
dently with this was issued a proclamation
by three native chiefs of consideration, calling on the
tribes to respect and punctually obey the proclama-
tion of Mr. M‘Doriooll. The Maori Chiefs at Wan-
ganui, also, offered to place at the disposal of our
authorities in New Zealand, 2,000 of their warriors,
to assist them in taking vengeance for the slaughter
at Wairau. The magistrate, Mr. SPAIN, at the
request of his magisterial colleagues, proceeded
up the coast to make his personal inquiries
about this unfortunate event. He returned from his
mission in the first week in July, having found the
Chiefs determined to protect RAUPARAHA, at all
hazards. At the latest advices, a strong detach-
ment of the 96th Regiment had just arrived
in Port Nicholson, dispatched thither by the Lieute-
nant-Governor, and whose intention it was to remain
there, whilst their Commander, Major BENNETT,
would proceed in a brig to conduct some investiga-
tions in person at Wairau, and to visit Cloudy Bay,
and he would go to Nelson on his return.
We are glad to find that there is 'this spirit of fair
dealing and of wise, because humane, policy
afloat, which we discern in the proclamation ofthe Ma-
gistrate, Mr. M‘DoNoGu, to the native tribes. It
is now clear that the offences of the guilty—if (which
is very questionable at present) the savages were the
aggressors—will not be visited on the in-
nocent. We have no excuse or pretence to
occupy lands in New Zealand at all, or in
any other territory first opened to European com-
merce and enterprise by the discoveries of the earlier
Dutch and British navigators, if we do not carry
out the great mission with which Providence has so
evidently invested us. That mission is to be at once the
harbingers and the disseminators of the lights and bene-
fits of civilisation and commerce among the yet unre-
claimed societies of men in another hemisphere, who
are surrounded with abundant means of physical sup-
port and enjoyment—who are gifted with high
capacity for intellectual cultivation ; but who,
from ignorance of the first acts of social
life, and the first elements of human know-
ledge, have remained for ages in the degraded
condition of human animals, instead of attaining to
the dignity of sentient men. Generations after gene-
rations of them have starved, or at best derived but a
precarious subsistence, in the midst of nature's plenty;
and have lived and died in brutal and sordid igno-
rance of their higher powers and nobler destina-
tion. Distinguished as Britain is by the singular
advantages of her geographical position, and fortified
and improved as that position has been by all the
happy accidents which, in the course of ages, could
develope its own strength and multiply her own re-
sources, internal and foreign ; the irrepressible genius
of her people for mercantile occupations and maritime
adventure is the visible stamp and seal of her patent
to conduct all other nations in the noble work of
diffusing knowledge, morals, industry, physical and
intellectual cultivation, the blessings of civilization,
the love of peace, and, with this love, the means of pro-
tecting its objects when menaced by war or invasion,
among all the children of the wilderness, whether in
the islands or on the mainlands of the Great
Pacific—of the Southern Ocean, or of the New
World. Grieved should we be, indeed, to see her
abandoning this glorious prerogative, consecrated, as
it has been, by three centuries of unremitted and
signally successful exertion, to become the imitator
of other Powers in the bad and pitiful arts of whole-
sale extermination. But we are sure that the hu-

manity and manliness which are the inseparable con-

any English establishment, civil or military, from
chastising an accidental outbreak of the wild Indian's

reckless impetuosity, by the disproportionate ven-

vivacity be really so objectionable in the pious,
uplifted eyes of the Post and the Iterctid, we can
assure them for their comfort that the Rev. Gentle-
man is by no means so great an offender as they may
imagine; for the whole of his sarcastic allusions to
the numerous offices which Alderman GIBBS hold, is
a direct plagiarism from BURKE'S speech on Econo-
mical Reform, wherein he alludes to the various
snug, profitable births of which GEORGE the THIRD
was in possession,---viz., as Duke of CORNWALL,
Count Palatine of Lancaster, &c. &c. Let the
blame, therefore, rest on the right shoulders ; and let
not Doctor CROLY be sneered at as a reckless satirist,
for having merely made a dexterous application
of the brilliant sarcasm of BURKE. After all, the
only question worth considering, is are the
Doctor's wit and humour justly applied ? Are
they grounded on truth ? Has he simply
given a spirited and forcible version of ad-
mitted facts, or has he perverted the truth in
order to suit his own purposes as an orator ? This
is the right light in which to regard the matter ; and
if it be acknowledged—and few can doubt the fact—
that he has said nothing but what every pa-
rishioner knows to be the truth ; then we
insist that he was perfectly justified in putting
that truth in such a manner that it might
make the strongest and vividest impression on his au-
dience. Had he pursed over his charges, he would
simply have set the parish fast asleep; and though this
perhaps would have been more in keeping with the
habits of the cloth, yet we respectfully contend that
his attendance was not requested by his flock in order
that he might drug them with laudanum. As regards the
Doctor's passing remark, "I have been, like many others,
a victim to the ingratitude of Governments, who, in
conciliating their enemies, have neglected the zealous
friends whom they used as stepping-stones to their I
own advancement," we are decidedly of opinion that
the Rev. Gentleman does not complain without suffi-
cient cause. Heaven knows we have no great sympa-
thies with Tories, or with those who advocate Toryism;
but common justice demands that men like Dr.
CROLY and the late Dr. MAGINN, who spent the
best years of their lives in upholding the interests of
their party; who brought to the support of those interests
wit—learning—humour—vigour—skill, and perseve-
rance,—justice, we say, demands that men like these,
to whom their party owes so much, should not be over-
looked and neglected when the day of Tory triumph
comes. It is bad policy and gross ingratitude, whe-
ther in individuals or parties, to kick down the
ladder by the help of which they rose to power.
