LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 184.

The Lords did not sit yesterday.
The Commons met at Twelve o'clock.
The Lunatic Asylums and Pauper Lunatics Bill passes
through Committee.
The standing order 123 relating to Railway Bills
was ordered to be suspended for the remainder of the
session.

On the motion that the Universities (Scotland) Bill be

read a second time,

Mr. MACAULAY, in a most eloquent speech, supported
the measure, and complained of the conduct of the
Government in now opposing it, when, by their conduct
they had hitherto led the supporters of the measure to
understand that they did not object to the Bill.

Sir J. GRAHAM defended the conduct of the Govern-
ment, and said that last year they had resisted a measure
exactly similar to the one now before the House.

Mr. J. S. WORTLEY commented in severe terms upon
the conduct of the free Church of Scotland. He thought
it necessary that the Church of Scotland should be
connected with the State, and was opposed to the pre-
sent measure. No new tests had been imposed, but he
thought they ought not to do away with the tests which
already existed.
The House was subsequently addressed by Sir G.
Grey, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Pringle, Mr. C. Buller, the
Lord Advocate, Mr. P. M. Stewart, Sir R. Peel, and
Lord J. Russell, when the House divided, and there ap-
peared for the Motion, 108 ; Against it, 116 ; Majority
against the motion, 8.
Mr. WATSON then moved that the House go into Com-
mittee on the Catholic Relief Bill, which was negatived
by a majority of 42.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One.

The last news of New Zealand will scarcely remove
the impression which so generally attaches to the his-
tory of that colony in the public mind—that it is the
victim of a singular fatality, or of egregious maladminis-
tration. By brief advices that have just reached Eng-
land, we learn that, in a conflict between the boat's
crew of one of her MAJESTY'S ships, in company with a
small party of troops, with the natives, more than a
hundred of the New Zealanders, and from eighteen to
twenty of our own people, had perished. If, after the
massacre of Wairau, we are little surprised at, we do not
the less deplore, this lamentable catastrophe. It would
have been strange indeed—an anomaly offered to the
experience of all European communications with
the barbarous, or even the semi-civilised, tribes of the
Southern and the South Pacific Ocean—if the moral
influence of such a cunningly-contrived and successfully.
accomplished movement as that which resulted in the
caption and murder of the " Nelson" party, including
Major WAKEFIELD and his unfortunate companions,
had not urged on the dusky compatriots of those who
triumphed at Wairau to slake once more their thirst for
the blood of the strangers. However land.jobbing
missionaries, or jobbing land companies, may qualify the
fact, the fact, we have no doubt, remains an absolute
one, that the New Zealander, though he be a
tall, a stalwart, and even an intelligent islander,
is yet a sanguinary savage. Ages have passed away
without witnessing any material mitigation of the
" ferocity" principle, that forms, after all, the fond of his
character. It seems the most unlikely thing in the
world, that more ages should not elapse before they can
be reclaimed from the indulgence of their sanguinary
tastes (to say nothing of their predatory tendencies)—
so long, that is, as they shall remain under the paternal
jurisdiction of the Colonial-office in Downing-street.
But let us speak more earnestly of the matter, meagre
as is the narrative we yet have of it, lest we should be
thought to speak with levity of another
catastrophe at this ill-fated settlement in which
so many valuable lives, English and native,
have been suddenly and violently sacrificed. We
do most earnestly direct the attention of the public to
the amount of human misery, bereavement of property,
blighting of hopes, and loss of life, which have mourn-
fully recorded the different stages of the colony's brief
existence. Assiduously excited and wickedly exagge-
rated expectations in the mother country—disappointed
hopes and ruined prospects—poverty, peril, and death,
in the fertile but inhospitable solitudes of the island—
these have been the sad alternations through which the
investment purchasers here, and the deluded emi-
grants there, have successively passed. With whom
rests all the tremendous responsibility, the ulti-
mate atonement, for these deplorable incidents ?
The question is more easily asked than answered, more
readily answered than satisfied. The Government de-
partment charged with the general supervision, economy,
and management of its state and fiscal administration,
may be prepared with specious grounds of accusation
against the " Monster" Land Company that had set in
motion a vast machinery of contracts for bargain, and
sale, and settlement, without having an ascertained title
of feasible proprietorship to ten acres out of every two
hundred comprehended within the enormous block they
called their own. The Monster Land Company treated
with and petted—favoured and doubted alternately—now
tampered with, and now discarded by the Government--
patronised to-day, and cold-shouldered to-morrow, by the
Downing-street functionaries, and especially by the great
" Lord" of (colonial) " misrule," might turn round with
at least as good a case upon the QUEEN'S Ministers, and
on their beads charge all the mischiefs and destruction,
the bankruptcies and the bloodshed, that have illustrated
in New Zealand the halting, timid, miserable counsels
of successive Governments, afraid to assert the clear and
undoubted title of prior possession and occupancy against
other States ; alarmed at the suggestion of at any rate
extending the shield of British Government protection
over a community of British subjects settled in that dis-
tant region ; and unequal to the laborious but honour-
able duty of upholding the inviolable rights of life and
property for free Britons in any and every part of
the habitable world. The present is not the opportunity
for going into the important inquiry how, and in what
proportions, the distressing responsibility we spew( of
should be divided between Downing-street and Broad-
street-buildings. We have already intimated our own
conviction that the defence set up on behalf of the New

Zealand Company by its directors against the charges
of dealing in and selling lands, which subsequent events
have proved that they held by no clear title, if by any, '
is by no means satisfactory—by no means such as wile
even procure them an acquittal at the bar of public
opinion upon the charges lousily pressed against them of
bad faith and worse management. The Colonial Go-
vernment, as it is more exposed to animadversion in a
case of this kind from its superior and original powers
and jurisdiction, so is it more open to charges reducible
into precise and specific form than even the malfeasance
of the New Zealand Company. In the infal.cy of that
concern they ought to have determined finally, and
boldly and distinct►y acted upon that determination,
whether they would occupy New Zealand in virtue of
the rights we have mentioned— whether they would
raise it to the rank of a Crown colony—or whether they
would retain it only in the humbler character of a naval
station? If the Government saw its way clearly as to
either of these conclusions, it ought, without hesitation,
to have dealt with the New Zealand Company on terms
and conditions clear and unambiguous—for privileges
and grants positive, limited, and ascertained. If it
did not, it had no right, it was conscious
of no title, it could plead no excuse, for making
any bargain, reserving any condit ions, or greeting
any charter, in respect of one part of the millions of
acres, told by the score, with which it is now, in some
sort, committed to deal at pleasure. But the Govern-
ment has compromised itself irretrievably, by the very
cequettieg to which it obviously resorted for the purpose
of avoiding the very extremes into which it has at last
fallen, instead of at first manfully assuming. The in-
stant they treated with the New Zealand Company on
the footing of a party who had something to grant, they,
in all legal construction, took upon themselves the inde-
fensible duties, as well as rights, of protectorship. That
protection they have not afforded to life or limb, property
or person, to our fellow-countrymen in New Zealand ;
and, if Lord STANLEY imagines that he has acquitted
himself, or his colleagues in the Government, of the
terrible responsibility that now attaches to them
for all the English blood that has been shed in New Zea-
land, by dexterously-strung official common-places in
half-a-dozen epistles from Downing-street, we venture
to state that he is most egregiously mistaken.
We shall really be curious to learn at what point
of hostile collision between English settlers and
native chiefs—at what point of national degradatioe
or unresented insults upon our national flag, and the
unpunished massacres by wholesale of our distant fellow-
countrymen by these half-naked savages, her MAJESTY'S
Government will feel themselves bound to interpose the
authority and the force with which the Constitution has
armed them. It will be seen, from communication`
published in another part of The Sun, that the autho
rities of New South Wales had received timely warning
of the coming danger, which, unfortunately, was not
heeded iu time.

We are glad to learn that the plan for establishing an
asylum for the insane of the middle classes has met
with great support, and is likely to be attended with
complete success. Its objects have been already well
and succinctly stated in an ably-drawn prospectus, de-
voted to their exposition. After adverting to the gene-
ral ameliorations which have been of late years intro-
duced into the treatra+-nt, both physical and moral, of
that suffering class of our fellow-creatures, who ar, the
victims of the most distressing ma:ady that can affiiel
sentient beings, this paper very clearly shows that—
looking, on the one hand, to the attentions and
comforts which the means of rich patients can
always command at the hands of the most intelli-
gent and experienced practitioners ; and, on the other,
at the professional skill and the superior internal ar-
rangements that are provided for the absolutely pool
and destitute lunatic or insane in large and well regu-
lated public establishments, supported by contributions
from the public and from individuals ; it is, perhaps, the
intermediate class of moderate competencies, or rather
of incomes approaching to moderate competencies, who
suffer most from the want of asylums, the treatment and
accommodation of which could be brought within the
reach of their means. " Those who are most conversant
with the wants of society," it is remarked, in the docu-
ment before us, " are, it is believed, unanimously of
opinion that some asylum is urgently needed in the
neighbourhood of the metropolis for the reception of per-
sons of the middle classes only, offering for moderate
payments all the comforts suitable to per-
sons of their habits of life and combining all
the advantages and resources enjo3ed in the
best institutions fir the classes already provided fur, in-
cluding many improvements in the method of treatment,
yet but very partially adopted in private asylums, and
quite unknown, perhaps impracticable, in the domestic
management of single cases in private residences." We
perceive that the provisional committee of management
are of opinion, that while the extensive scale on which
such an asylum is organised is, per se, a great good (in-
asmuch as it supplies for the patients a variety of objects
capable of attracting attention, exciting interest, and
stimulating to exertion and imitation) the principle,
carried beyond certain limits, becomes a practical evil.
They consider that such an asylum as they now propose
to establish should be confined within a capacity for
containing from 200 to 400 beds. " The cost of about
twenty-five acres of freehold land, with sufficient
buildings and every possible provision for contin-
gencies, is calculated at 30,0001." The subscrip-
tions and donations proposed for qualifications of
governors, members of the Committee of Management,
&c., appear to be proposed on a well-considered and
easy scale. We have no doubt, now that the Institution
has been so impressively ushered into public notice, that
the benevolent objects of its promoters will be rapidly
and fully accomplished. The public, itself, must feel
that they have every guarantee for the bond fide charac-
ter of an undertaking, for which such a man as Earl
SpENcEN. has given, with his own honoured name, a cer-
tificate of genuineness and honesty that will pass cur-
rent among all classes of his countrymen throughout the
length and breadth of the land ; to which Lord Aseux
records the sanction of his own active and sagacious
benevolence, honoured and respected as that is tar be-
yond the stormy circles of political and party warfare ;
and among whose " Provisional Committee of Manage-
ment " we. find that illustrious physician (tor no
humbler designation will represent his merits),
whose persevering, high-principled, disinterested zeal,
and enlightened energy in developing and acting upon
the results of his profound study of mental disease, have
led to the introduction of a reformed and curative treat-
ment of insanity in all its phases, which have earned for
him an European reputation in the first ranks of con-
temporary science, and will secure for his memory the
gratitude and affectionate respect of posterity. For our
parts, we accept the name of Dr. CONOLLY, the g. eat
mover of that new system of treatment which has
brought, at last, the maladies of mind under the sana-
tive application of humanity and sympathy, in the place
of brute force and brutalising coercion, as an assurance
of all that success and prosperity to the new " Asylum
for the Insane " which the prayers of every good man,
in the full possession of his mental faculties, will
assuredly implore for it.

The Madrid Gazette of the 2d inst. publishes the new
contract for 60,000,000 reels per month, entered into by the
Government with the bank of San Fernando. Either of the
parties is at liberty to annul the agreement at the end of
three months on giving due notice. Gibraltar papers an-
nounce the arrival of General DELARUE in the Titan steamer
before Tangiers, accompanied by the Veloce steamer and the
brig of war Cygne. The object of the visit was the final
arrangement of the treaty between France and Morocco.
The Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 301/2 at
60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 211/5 at 60 days.

In the French Chamber of Peers the discussion on the Bil
fur granting.4oo,ooof. towards the emancipation of colonial
slaves gave rise to some remarkable speeches. The grant,
it will be admitted by all parties, is very small, only 16,0001,
a remarkable contrast to the magificent sum of 20,000,000 f.,
voted by the British Parliament for a similar purpose; but
even that small sum was resisted by the son of the unfortu-
nate NEY, and by Baron CHARLES DUPIN, who professes
liberal and enlightened principles. The Prince DE MOSKOWA
maintained that if the slaves were to procure their freedom
otherwise than by their own exertions, they would not value
it so highly, and the colony would not possess the same gua-
rantee for their good conduct—sentiments unworthy a Peer
of France. Baron DUPIN concurred in the view taken by
the Prince, considered the admixture of European workmen
would prove a disadvantage to the colonies, and declared his
intention to vote against the Bill. The generous speech of
the Duke DE BROGLIE ought to have overwhelmed with
shame these advocates of slavery. The Noble Duke said.
" having been president of the Committee which had for a
length of time paid particular attention to the slave ques-
tion, he might be permitted to state that that body
had never set forth the privilege of the slave to possess
property, and so purchase his freedom, as sufficient to
bring about negro emancipation. On the contrary,
the report declared in the most formal manner that
every system of emancipation that was reduced to such a
means would be absolutely illasory. The gradual system,
as the Committee understood it, estimated at very nearly
nothing the purchase of freedom by the slaves themselves ;
it was founded principally on the purchase of slaves
at the moment of their birth with the money of
the State. But even that gradual system was not by
any means the one recommended by the Committee, who
strongly advised that of simultaneous emancipation at the
cost of the State. Now, he would ask, had the Chamber,
in voting the Colonial Administration Bill, deprived itself
of the power of authorising the Government to have
recourse to the public money to complete the measures

previously voted? He certainly thought not. If that Bill
containk:d the maximum of what was to be done to prepare
emancipation, he should not he,itate to declare that the
Chambers in voting it had done nothing else than establish
slavery for ever. The purchase of their own freedom by
slaves must be limited. A similar system had been esta-
blished in the Spanish colonies nearly two hundred years ago,
and as yet its effects were scarcely perceptible ; and with-
out going to the colonies for an example, he would ask
the noble Peers around him to look at France, and
estimate the value of a privilege of any kind which
required a poor day labourer to accumulate a sum of 3,000 f.
or 4,000 f. in order to enjoy it. In the colonies the number
of those persons who would be able to purchase their
own freedom would be exceedingly small, and, for his part,
he did not suppose that in twenty years they would exceed
' 150. He did not make these remarks to depreciate the Bill
that had been voted, for he thought it a wise and useful
measure in the way of preparation for ultimate emancipa-
tion, but to prove to the Chamber that the credit of 400,0001.
was absolutely required by the Government to carry out
their plans in favour of the negro population. The Govern-
ment would no doubt use the credit with discretion ; and
he had, in conclusion, to pray the Chamber not to suppose
that in passing the mere general measure already alluded to
nothing else remained to be effected." The cheers which
followed these remarks showed that the Chamber took the
more humane view of the question. The vote was then put
and adopted. The journals are still occupied with the affair
of the Jesuits, but their remarks now possess no interest. The
question is settled, and it matters little whether it was done
by the POPE or the General of this intriguing body.
The Funds on Tuesday continued firm. The Three per

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths
luring the week, ending July 5, was 803, less by 27 than
that of the preceding week, and 101 less than the average of
live summers. The deaths from diseases of the organs of
respiration and violence are, however, considerably above the
average. Under the former head they are 240—average,
229 ; and under the latter 38—average, 24. Those caused
oy small-pox are unusually small, only 7—one person died
if the disease at the age of 21, and the remaining six under
10 years. There are 3 suicides, 4 deaths from burns and
;calds, and the remaining 31 from accidents. The rain in
inches was 0.28.

NEW ZEALAND.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZY.

- -
Sia,—The news from New Zealand, bad as it is, is less
,disastrous than there was reason to expect. I left Auckland
to wards the end of January, in company with Major Robertson,
who. conveyed dispatches . from Captain Fitzroy to Sir George
Gipps, requesting a force of 200 soldiers. Sir George Gipps
did me the honour to inquire my opinion of the state of affairs
in New 'Zealand, when I assured him they were most pressing,
and that 2C) men would be wholly insufficient to keep the
natives in subjection, since military aid would be required in a
dozen or more pla.ces at once, and to divide a small force would
be but to invite its- zertain destruction.
A month was suffs-red to pass over without Sir George Gipps
sending the aid requited ! When, urged by the recollection of
the many friends in Now Zealand, who had charged me not to
forget their precarious po,sition, I remonstrated with Sir George
in a letter published in the /Sydney Herald, a copy of which
paper I send you.
In a conversation I subsequenay had with Major Robertson,
I understood that the reason a laiger force than 200 men would
not be sent down to New Zealand was, that no more men had
been " asked for" by Governor Fitzoys
After a most unwarrantable delay, Ms, troops were sent down
to New Zealand in the North Star, and the attention of your
readers is requested to the fact, that bajt ordinary dispatch
only been used, those troops might have reaChed New Zealand
a month earlier than they did. Sir George ,Gipps advertised
for tenders for their freikht, and because the offe:w he received
were not so low as he wished them to be, British_ life and pro-
perty in New Zealand were left for a month to the insprobahle
abstinence of large bodies of gloating savages, insolent in their
strength, and the comparative weakness of those they were
evidently longing to make a "tower" (foray*) upon.
I again repeat, the heavy expenditure necessary to bring- the
natives into continued subjection will exceed the sum required
to compensate the settlers for removing to some other of the
adjoining colonies. New Zealand is lost as a colony, unless a
pestilence carry off nine-tenths of the natives, and so render
the remainder controllable at a reasonable expense to this
country.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
London, July 9, 184.5. ROBERT D'OYLY.
The following is the letter referred to :
" TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE GIYI":4.
" Sir,—At the risk of being even thought impertinent, I
cannot resist the inclination of addressing you again on the
subject of New Zealand.
" I know that your administration of the affairs of this colony
is approved of by the leading men in Englard, both Ministerial
and Opposition ' - but it appears to me, most distinctly, that you
are incurring a heavy responsibility by delaying to furnish the
military assistance called for by Governor Fitzroy.
" At the time Major Robertson left New Zealand, bearing
dispatches to your Excellency respecting troops, the position
of the European population was becoming daily more precarious.
" I am credibly informed that within a few days after these
dispatches left Auckland, Captain Fitzroy found it expedient
to temporise with a native chief and his followers in their threat
of plunder, by giving them a horse and other coveted things.
Each succeeding day, therefore, must, in my opinion, enh ,nce
the difficulties of the New Zealand Government, so long as it
remains incapable of suppressing and redressing the native out-
rage and plunder of Europeans.
" Bet*: re I left the colony, now some six weeks ago, the na-
tives had been collecting in and about Auckland for several
weeks, in large numbers, without any more ostensible object
than that of flies hovering around a butcher's stall. To hear,
therefore, of their having made a rush at, and emptied the
stores, would excite no surprise in my mind. If in such plun.
der they should be resisted and any blood be shed, there is no
calculating what amount of lives they might sacrifice.
" Should such a state of circumstances occur, after the time
when troops might have got down to New Zealand, had your
Excellency used dispatch, the whole blame will be thrown on
you ; and you will find it difficult to exonerate yourself, it is
conceived, before either her Majesty's present or late advisers.
" Assuming it probable that you were so, it is no wonder
that you should have been disgusted by the hasty return of the
troops you sent, some time ago, to the Bay of Islands, or that
you should be annoyed and inconvenienced by the ports being
thrown open in New Zealand, the sale of lands at a penny an
acre, &c. But your Excellency must not lose sight of the fact,
that Captain Fitzroy is no Lieutenant-Governor ! If he send
to you for military aid, the Home Government must defray the
expenses of such aid. It is not competent for you to say, I
disapprove of Captain Fitzroy's doings, and will curb or ob-
struct his unnecessary extravagance.'
" To her Majesty's Government alone is Captain Fitzscy
amenable for his expenditure. On this point lam most clear,
that whether troops are necessary in New Zealand or not,
your Excellency cannot justify delay in acceding to the call for
military aid on any ground or argument of expenditure. In-
ability to forward the troops, if it can be shown, will prove your
sole justification.
4, I trust your Excellency will excuse this expression of my
sentiments, in assurance of the perfect respect entertained for
your able government of the colony, by your Excellency's most
obedient and very humble servant,
" Sydney, March 3." " ROBERT D'OYLY.
• " Tower" is the New Zealand word for foray, that is, to
rush upon and plunder.

The twenty-seventh annual contest for a purse of sove-
reigns, given by the nobility and gentry of Putney and Roe-
hampton, took place on Tuesday amongst the watermen ply-
ing at the first-named place. -The race was in three heats,
with ten pair of sculls, two pair in each boat, and the condi-
tions of the wager allowed the third men in the first heat
to take their chance with those in the second heat. when in
the event of arriving at a more enviable position, they would
be entitled to start in the final heat. The distance rowed
was, in the two first heats from Putney-bridge up the south
shore, round a boat off the College of Civil Engineers, and
up through the centre arch
RST of Putney-bridge.

There are no arrivals to-day with later news, although we

Mauritius, &c.
The second sale of tea by Keeling and Hunt, on the new
plan of putting up single chest lots, to suit the retail dealers,
brought a fuller attendance of the latter, a sign it
is presumed of the eventual success of the at-
tempt. which is identified in some measure with the exten-
sion of free-trade principles. We are informed that, in order
to give the plan a full trial, several parcels of tea are being
forwarded from London in bond to different parts of the
coast, as well as by railway conveyance, to be sold on the
same principle, ii' those towns where the market is not likely
to be influenced by the peculiar position of the London trade.
The teas offered at the sale now referred to, were of a supe-
rior class to those at the former auction, and comprised the
most useful and choice kinds.
The sales of Money Stock have been continued again to-
day to a sufficient extent to keep down the value of Consols,
which for Money are 99 to %, and for Time 99%. The
market, however, is by no means flat ; and, after
the first arrangements usual upon the re-opening
of the transfer books are over, there is expected
to be a rally. The fact that above 40,0001. of stock will be
weekly cancelled through the operation of the Sinking Fund,
which is very different from a mere transfer from one party
to another, is in favour of the market at the present time,
whey money is more abandant than stock, and it is fortu-
Pate that railway investments offer so many safe outlets.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 102% %, and
the Three per Cents. 991,4 %. Exchequer-bills have been
565. to 575. premium.
There is very little doing in the Foreign investments.
Spanish Five per Cents. are steady at 271/x, and the Three
per Cents. 3314 %; Portuguese Converted are firm at 653/4 ;
Mexican have been lower, viz. 37 to 36% ; Brazilian are up
to 91 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 82.
The Share Market is not very brisk, but still we have to
notice a good general business. Cambridge and Lincoln
have touched 5 ; London and York have declined to 34 ;
Bristol and Exeter, Birmingham and Brighton, tend upwards.
Midland have been as high as 190 ; North Kent are down
to 1/4 ~1„c discsunt. The Foreign lines are heavy.
