disturbed state of the colony, Unfortunately;

evidence is af hand. Theinhabliants of Port Nichol-
son have petitioned her MAJESTY to recal him, and
the Netv Zealand Gazette, published there, uses this
language ':—=

It appears, then,, that, large_ sums of money are col-
lected in Port Nicholson, and remitted to Auckland.
That these funds are Imperatively required for the im
provement of our port and for public buildings. That
there is not the smallest chance of any portion worth
mentioning of the Port Nicholson contribution ever
finding its way back from Auckland-here ;
Because—the Governor is our foe, and the majority of
the Legislative Council are his tools. As long, there-
fore, as the present men are in office, and the existing
system is upheld, we must be expected to be victimized.
Shall the wrong be quiety endured ? Has the spirit of
resistance to injury, cherished in England, become ex-
tinct in New Zealand ? There is that on the pages of
our journal which forbids the supposition. The consti-
tutional right of petition for redress of grievances has
been exercisek and the removal of a Governor viru-
lently prejudiced against this settlement, has been re-
quired from the Queen. Nothing has occurred to show
that the colonists acted unwisely or precipitately on the
occasion referred to. On the contrary, they took a just
measure of the man they had to deal with. We see the
necessity of again petitioning for the recal of Captain
Hobson, and for responsible Government.

LONDON TO THE NORTH.—We perceive that the
London and Birmingham, and Grand Junction Rail-
ways, are about to extend the facilities for travelling to
Liverpool and Manchester from London by altering the
present two o'clock afternoon. train to half-past one.
This will enable passengers to leave London two hours
and a half later (the last day train starting at eleven), and
arrive at Liverpool or Manchester by a quarter pat t
eleven at night. The only wonder is, that an improve-
ment so obvious had not occurred to the Directors long
ago. Possibly the new line of Railway from Manches-
ter to Crewe has quickened their praiseworthy appre-
hensions. Of course a corresponding train will leave
Manchester and Liverpool at the same time for London,
otherwise the advantage will be all one way. The
change takes place on Wednesday, the Ist of June.
The collection of Oriental literature, collected by Jas.
Bruce, of Kennard, extending to near one hundred vo-
lumes, and announced for sale by auction in our columns
of to-day, is probably the finest MS. that ever was pre;
sented to public competition.
A LETTER-CARRIER'S FUNERAL.—III Islington, yes-
terday, a letter-carrier, of the name of Greening, re-
cently deceased, was followed to the grave by a consi-
derable number of his brother letter-carriers, dressed in
their uniform. Such a mark of respect must be gratify.
ing to the deeeased's widow and family. It is a proof
that he was esteemed, and his loss regretted by his use-
ful brethren.

In these circumstances, and having a much less fa-
vourable opinion of New Zealand as a place for settlers
than is generally entertained, which makes us infer
that the colony may be filled with disappointed
and discontented persons, we see considerable
cause for alarm. The mischief has, to a great
extent, been caused by Government appointing a
Governor, and a whole host of officials, who seem to
have nothing else to do, than to harrass the settlers.
Lord STANLEY is not the man, we are afraid, toremedy
the evil ; he will be for interfering still more, when,
in truth, besides affording to the colonists the general
protection of sending a ship of war, now and then, to
look after them, they cannot be too much left to
themselves. At this vast distance from the spot, we
will not think of saying what ought to be done—we
will only express our fears, that more mischief is
likely to ensue from the rash interference of the
Colonial-office than from its forbearance.

LIVERPOOL, SENDAY MORNING.—We have Just re-
ceived a telegraphic communication reporting the Cale-
donia steamer to be off Point Lynas, at half-past six
o'clock this morning, in company with the Cambridge,
New York packet ship, of the lst instant. The steamer
was to take her departure from Halifax with the mails
on the 18th instant.

It is really astonishing what an amount of ignorance,
as respects bribery and corruption at elections, prevails
among those whom the world slanderously presumes to
be specially conversant with such matters. Few are the
Candidates who have the slightest knowledge of corrupt,
electioneering practices; still fewer the Constituencies
who are not as pure as unsunned snow. When it is ob-
jected either to the electors or the elected that they are
by no means paragons of innocence, the objection comes
upon them like a thunderclap ! They are bewildered—
electrified—stunned. - They never heard of such a
calumnious reproach in . the whole course of their
lives, and are shocked at the moral depravity that
could have originated it ! Assess a Parliamentary
candidate or representative at his own valuation
and never was there a more spotless, incorruptible'
being. He is a diamond without a flaw—a pearl above
all price. Even though he may represent an Ipswich or a
Beverley, he thanks GOD he is not a WARBURTON,
whose naive confessions of bribery strike a chill
through all his veins ! From the speech which he de-
livered last Thursday at Nottingham, we gather that
Mr. WALTER is a representative of this pure and spot-
less character. He knows nothing not he ! of
illegal electioneering practices ; no lamb new-dropped on
Sherwood Forest was. ever more innocent than himself ;
and if he object to have the question of his innocence
discussed on trial, it is only because he objects to those
who are to try him. Messrs. RoEnucx and HAWES have
such an odd, perverse way of looking at matters ; they
are, besides, so notoriously his personal enemies, that
they might actually confound innocence with guilt,
and deliver a verdict against him, when the verdict
should be strongly in hiS favour. In these days of
wholesale electioneering corruption,it is refreshing to know
that we possess such a sturdy patriot as Mr. WALTER,
who, with his hand on his heart, and his eyes piously
uplifted to that Providence who knows and will reward
his virtue, can thus address the Nottingham electors :
" With respect to Mr. ROEBUCK'S charge of a sale of
this town, I can only say, that much money as I have
spent in honourable contest, here, none has gone out of
my pocket, nor shall go, for such a purchase !" Exem-
plary man ! How black does a WARBURTON show
beside a WALTER ! But not only is the latter gen-
tleman a model of :political purity, but the whole
Conservative party at Nottingham is equally immaculate.,
"We know nothing," says one of Mr. WALTER'S
staunchest supporters, " of the flagitious practices alleged
against this town—we know nothing of them—we re-
pudiate them." We can imagine the face with which
this virtuous Tory declaration was made, and are no
longer at a loss to understand what lloitacE means,
when he talks of a certain individual's countenance being
cased in " triple brass ! "

The effects of Lord Lichfield,• in St. James's-square'
are to be sold in a fortnight, and will Occupy a whole
week. The service of gold and silver plate is said to
be magnificent ; and, in August, Mr. George Robins
announces a sale, extending over eighteen days, at Shug-
borough Hall, of the same Right Hon. Peer, which will
create a sensation little short of Strawberry-hill. The
gallery of pictures and the statues are accounted of the
first order. The furniture is throughout splendid, and
within the cellars ure 20,000 bottleS of wine of a quality
most recherche.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Another lengthened debate
took place on Tuesday, respecting what the Non-Intru-
sions call the encroachments of the civil power. A de-
claration signed by 160 members and elders was pre-
sented, in which they prayed the General Assembly to
adopt resolutions setting forth the rights and privileges
of the Churel, as secured by the statutes of the realm,
and the manner in which they had been assailed by the
Court of Session, in the cases of Strathbogie, Aucht,r-
arder, Dario:, and many others. Dr. Chalmers accord-
ingly moved resolutions to that elfcct, and in a
long rambling speech, adverted to the ignorance
of Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and the Engiish
generally, respecting the condition and pi ivileges of the
Scotch Church; attacked the landed proprietors of East
Lothian and other counties, for excluding the wandering
Non-Intrusionist preachers from the pulpits of the parish
churches; expressed his determination to maintain to the
last the supremacy of the Church, in spite of the deci-
sions of the Court of Session and the House, of Lords ;
and foretold in forcible language that unless the Govern-
ment and the law yielded to the clairns of the Church,
the -.:ountry would be thrown into confusion and anarchy.
Dr. Cook moved various resolutions as an amendment,
and contended that the Church, being the first aggressor,
should show signs of repentance, by repealing the Veto
Act, which infringes on civil and patrimonial rights,
annul the depositions of the Strathbogie ministers, and
continue, as she had hitherto done, to listen to the objec-
tions of the parish to a candidate, w ith a view to reject
him if the objections were well-founded. A division took
place at two in the morning, when 241 members voted
for the motion of Dr. Chalmers, and 110 for the amend-
ment of Dr. Cook, giving a majority of 131 for Non-In-
trusion. This, therefore, settles the question as far as
the Assembly is concerned. Sir J. Graham stated on
Friday. evening, that, as the subject was before the As-
sembly it would be premature to maka any decla-
ration as to the proceedings, or say whether her
Majesty's Government would make, themselves re-
sponsible for a .measure to heal the divisions in the
Church of Scotland. The Assembly. has now spoken
out, and the Rig!st Hon. Baronet therefore may try his
hand at healing measures. Should lie succeed in satisly-
ing both ministers and people, his name would be im-
mortalised in Scotland.

Whatever language may be held in the House of Com-
mons relative to bribery, it is evident to us that there
does not exist the slightest wish, on thepart of the majo-
rity of its Members, to put an end to an abuse
which reflects discredit ,upon the character of this
country. On the contrary, we are persuaded that
there is not a privilege of Parliament which Hon. Mem•-
hers prize more highly than that of screening those who
are guilty of such mal-practices. As we said a few days
ago, bribery is the means by which honest men, of small
fortunes, are kept out of the House of Commons. This
endears the practice to the aristocracy, and hence we
find Whigs as eager to support it as Tories.

To put an end to bribery, we must educate the people,
and extend the suffrage ; to punish it wo must establish
a tribunal to inquire into it, quite distinct from either
House of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill would
not diminish the evil one , jot. A jury of five Lords and
seven Commoners would return a verdict as little de-
serving of respect as an Election Committee.

We find the following statement in the Irish corres-
pondence of the Morning Herald

" The town of Bally:Clanton presented the appearance ofa
fair during the past week, from the number of families passingto
Donegal and Derry for emigration. They chiefly came from
the county Fermanagh, where, it is said, whole tow nlands are
deserted by the industrious and peaceable teliants, who have
resided there from their infancy. They had a respectable ap-
pearance, and seemed to be well supplied with every necessary
requisite."

The people of Fermanagh are among the most peace-
able and industrious in Ireland. Their pursuits are
agricultural, and they are much attached to their coun-
try. Yet they desert in scores to people the wilds of
Canada, or locate in the great valley of the Mississippi.
Even life in the wilderness has fewer terrors fur them
than a longer residence in their own beautiful country.
This fact speaks volumes for Irish misgovernment.
Great must be the wretchedness, and hopeless the lot
of an Irish cotter, who deserts his cabin to cross the
Atlantic in search of the means of subsistence.

The Right of Search question is again discussed
in the French Journals. The Constitutionnel says
that France was slow to discover the dangers and
abuses to which the Right of Search would lead,
but now that she has taken alarm she will for ever
persist in opposing the recognition of such a right. The
Constitutionnel praises .the 4'nglish nation and Govern-
ment, but contends that they are insincere in their en-
deavours to have it believed they are wholly influenced
upon tblA question by a religious detestation of slavery.
We are charged with the ambition of seeing our flag
float over every part of the ocean, and the wish to ex-
t2ud our trade in whatever .we do to abolish slavery. If
the indirect advantages of suppressing this horrible
traffic . are so obvious, it is rather surprising that
France should not be eager to participate in
them. But there is no longer any use in the
discussion of the question. It is enough to know that
France will not ratify the treaty. There is, therefore,
an end to the business.

The French Government is determined to push on
the various projects for making railways, and to shrink
from no expense in the early completion of these gigantic
undertakings. France cannot incur debt more usefully
than in works so beneficial to all classes of her people.
We find the following article in the Gazette du Dauphine :
" Jean Boudrier, of Pont de Beauvoiser, was tried on an ac-
cusation of parricide, accompanied' svith horrible circumstances,
by the Court of Assize of the Isere, the sittings of which closed
on Sunday last.
" According to the public prosecutor, Jean Boudrier had set
fire to a barn, in which his father, a paralytic old man, eighty
sears of age, slept. On the following morning a few calcined
human bones could scarcely be 'distinguished amongst the ruins.
" The circumstances of this drama, which terminated with
so terrible a scene, are spread over a period of 15 years, for it
is so long since Boudrier, flying from his father's house, had
taken leave with these atrocious words, ' I should like to sce
my father ro:sted like a toad in a frying-pan.'
" The Jury found Boudrier guilty of the crime of which he was
accused, but with MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES (CIACUM.
STANCES ATTENDANT'S.) In consequence, the parricide,
Jean Boudrier, has been sentenced to hard labour for life. We
say, without hesitation, that such a verdict is a public scandal,
and proves in the Jury mho delivered it a shameful weakness
and incapacity, unworthy of the high, office confided to it by
ociety.
"In this cue only two verdicts were possible ; a verdict of
acquittal, or one of unqualified culpability.
" But to allow mitigating circumstances in favour of an act of
rarricide committed after fifteen years' infamous meditation is
more than a fault, it is a crime against public morality, against
society, since the protection t.f virtue, daily becomes weaker in
pGttroapzoertieodrie to the
trhaee_ indulgence so fatally given to crime."—La

On Saturday Lord Denman gave judgment in the
long-disputed case whether bliss I3urdett Coutts should be
rated to the relief of the poor in respect of a -box which she
held in Drury-lane 'theatre, and the Court decked that the
box in question was a tenement, within the meaning of the Act
of Parliament, and that, therefore, Miss Coutts was liable to
be rated.

Scarcely a bargain has been made in Foreign Securities.

The intelligence from Mexico by the Solway, which appears
in another place, has had a favourable effect on the quota-
tions of the Bonds, which are 374 for Money, and 374
for the Account. The absence of the ex-President
from the country will doubtless do much towards
restoring tranquillity; but the report that Banta Anna
is about to attempt to raise a fresh loan, argues
badly for the bondholders, since he has not, in previous eats
fp ricks, scrupled to use the money set apart for them exclu-
sively. It must, however, be allowed that the present Go-
vernment have shown the greatest disposition to keep faith
with the foreign creditors, and from all appearances will not
fail to do so as long as it is not hardly pressed. No reason
exists for legitimate holders parting with their bonds, but every
circumstance forbids time bargains.

on the contrary, the accounts were of the worst character, and
the planters it would seem are fast reaching ruin, owing to the
greatly depreciated value of their property if offered for sale,
and the h:gh cost of the produce if cultivateff. Considerable
anxiety existed for the meeting of the " Combined Court,"
which was to take place on the 30th April, and it was hoped
that the investigation which would then be entered into as to
the cause of the distress, might lead to the adoption of some
measure of relief.
No alteration for the better had been mach in the method of
managing these steam-vessels, and the intercolonial communi-

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 26.—A fair amount

THE SOUTH-EASTERN COUN-
TIES' RAILWAY.

The carriages on the Dever line do great credit to the
judgment and taste of the Directors, both in mechuoism
and finish. For the first time on an Lnglish line whole
trains composed of carriages on Air. Adams's Low-
springs, and fitted with his elastic. buffer arrangement,
are in daijy use. Hitherto these carriages have been
mixed up with others on the common plan, marring their
perfect action, but now. that they constitute entire trains,
the result is uniform motion. It is only needful to ride
in both kinds of trains—the bow-spring and one on the
common plan—to be satisfied of the immense superiority
of the former. Not merely a blind man, but a paralytic
man, or one with nerves like cart•rope6, would find out
the difference. In the et tiannai carriages there is a con-
stant hard a iiiration, accompattied by uoisc to.d mcessalit
lateral shocks, from the action of the flange on the rails.
These effects disappear in the bow-spring carriages, the
motion of which is soft and easy, analogous to that of a
sailing-boat, while the starting and stopping is free from
all startling movement. One carriage that we tried was
even still superior, being fitted with wood wheels,
appeared to absorb the sound generated between the
N% heel tyres and the rails. This wheel, we were given
to understand, is also a plan of Mr. Adams's.
The colour of the carriages is navel on railways, and
will well distinguish them from those of the Brighton,
Croydon, and tirecnwieh. It is a rich brown, known
as the Wellington brown ;
in fact, it is the famil
colour of the Duke of 'Wellington,
'
with whose peculiar
carriage, on four. equal-sized wheels and how-sprint-s
most carrage. connoisseurs are familiar. With the ex;
eeption of. the lurg. Dover arms en tl:e panel, the., gene-
ral painting of the Dover carriages resembles that of Iii:;
Grace on a large scale. We hope that all these circum-
stances combined will have the effect of induche;. the
Duke to become a patron of railways in general, r at
least of this line, of whose seaward terminus he is the
Warden. It would be a novel sight, to see his equal-
wheeled bow-spring iroad-carriage on an equal-wheeled
bow-spying railway truck, which we have heard a rail-
way engineer remark, "is the perfection of all travel-
ling."
We trust his .Grace will try it, if only as au ex-
periment calculated to give edit to a line over whose
terminus he claims jurisdiction.—Railway Times.

Pt/MLIC OPMION.
The Times has an article on the subject of the Queen's
letter, in which after stating that "the conduct ut the Go-
vernment in throwing the reiief of the pour upon the voluntary
charity of individuals, is censurable in the ex, reale," our Con-
temporary goes on to say he whole proceeding of issuing
the letter appears to have been peculiarly that of this Minister;
for lour Members of the Cabinet the House of Lords, in-
cluding the Duke of Wellington and the President of the
Board of Trade, knew nothing about it when the subject was
first mooted by Lord Kinnaird. % hat signifieancy dues this
give to the whole affair ! 'Has Sir J. Graham introduced any
Bill to give a bona fide Pour-law to t-cotland? No. Has he
made any proposition for mitigating the restrictions which in-
tercept legal relief from the poor in England ? No. But Sir
J. Graham was among the most active of those who, in 1b:34,
took away the rights which the poor till then possessed in the
property of the country ;' Sir J, Graham has ever since been a
dogged supporter of that measure of spoliation ; and the same
Sir J. Graham has now a Bill before the house of Commons
for carrying out- with increased stiineeticy all its oppressive
principles. This is the Nfinister who would tax the pious and
the charitable to enable him to be generous to the hardhearted
and the rich."
The Herald says:—..." The House of Commons was most
industriously occupied on Thursday evening iu degrading itself
in eublic estimation. The popular breech of the Legislature
refused to prosecute the bribed or the bribers at the last Ips-
wich elecnou, voided on the greund of cerruytion ; it retused
to institute further inquiry into the state a the constituency of
that venal borough; but it did not refuse that constituency an;
ether typos tunity of again indulging in its habitual impurity.
We say habitual impurity, tor ti' lee within the last six years
have Ipswich electioas been vended iii consequence of proven
corruption. True it may be that there is tin ',soot that the
usajoilty of Ipswich voters are litirchasit able ; but the result oi
Parriamentary investigations establishes that there is on either
side of politics in that notorious borough swim a number of
votes to be bought as will at any election enable candidates to
purchase their return. Away then with the miserable fallacy
that the majority 01 Ipswich electors being pure, ought net to
remain unrepresented. They are nut represented; venality
turns the scales of Ipswich elections; and vencity alone is
therefore represented."
'1 he Post expresses its displeasure at the recent conduct of
Ministers in the following terms :—" We are far front wishing
to be alarmists, or from desiring to ere& e apprehension w.th-
out abundant and pressing cause for the same; bin this cause
we think we see in some of the language lately used by those
whose influence we acknowledge, and whose talents we re.
spect. We shall explain ourselves by quoting part Of the ob-
servations of Mr. Labouchere upon the statements lately made
by the Prime Minister and the Vice-President of the Board of
'1 rade. 'f he inconsistency of hem Majesty's Ministers,' said
Mr. Labouchere, • lies in this : that in blinging forward their
measures with regard to Wile- they adopted the language of
those who advocated free trade on the broadest piniciples.
1 hey insisted on the necessity of buying in the cheapest mar-
kets, and that the eeople should obtain provisions wherever
they were able to be procured.' We have not observed
that either Sir R. Peel or Mi. Glatistoue, who, it after-
wards appeared, were the Ministers specially referred to
by Mr. Labouchere, took any opportunity trecorrect that bight
lion. Gentleman,. or to deny that they had adopted the lan-
guage of those who advocate free trade on ttse broadest prin-
ciples. Now, we should be very sorry to exaggerate, or to do
any njustice respecting_ what May fairly be supposed to be the
views of the present ens to regard to Suit called free
traee. We certainty tin net think rest they would at preselit

The Chronicle, peaking on the subjt et of Ireland, ob-
senes alie a man ircni this country., no matter what his
p.rty in political opinions may be, tutu e.anu, and he sour.
art Ives at the conclusioi. that the disi rdei s are attributable to
the misconduct of the gentry. The lett Sir Walter Scutt, fur
instance, as Mr. Lockhart informs us, had not been long In
Leland when he became convinced that justice hau nut been
dune Its the people. Lord_ %harm:l4e last night, w hen- a
question was put to him on the subject of the outrages in the
county of Tipperary, said that he had ob-er%etl the prevalence
of a better feeling among the tallied gentry of Ireland towards
their tenants. • There, however,' said his Lur. ship,. ' still
remained evil dispositions productive 01 crime, that were the
growth of former bad feelings and wicked inisleatangs, and
which nothing but .e continuance of generous treatment and
conciliatory conduct on ti e past of those who possessed in-
fluence, could electut,by remove.' And, added his Lords:tip
significantly, while admitting that a very beneficial change
had taken place generally in the feelings of the lantiloitis, yet
he was compelled to confess that there were some who exer-
cised the rights of property in that country in a manner
which could not be justified Those parties were nut con-
fined to anyone class of i.olitical opinions ; there were ametigst
them not only Tories, but Liberals, at least Liberals in speech,
whatever they might be in practice. The system generally,
however, has much mitigated.' • Propel ts/ has its duties as well
as its rights. When its duties are attended to, such outrages
as are committed in 'lip; era, y never take } lace."
We take the following from the Advertiser.—" One wise
and liberal measure regarding cern wood have been worth
all the peddling reiluctions upon the innumerable at tides Loin-
prised under the twill's twill-) heaps; but the peolle ale nut
so silty as to be idiposed upon by the otter el many trifling ad-
vantages, while the one substantial biessaig of cheap bread is
cruelly withheld front them. It, sir Robert Peel aumits that
rpulativn has outstripped sul•sistence,' it is his duty, as a
Ithuister, to do his utmost tto,aids advancing the latter in a
sufficient proportion to meet the wants of the former; and this
is not to be done by dimini.hing the duties on culoniai asses,
or reducing the price of quassia and other commodities which
the pour probably never heard or,, and have nu occasion for.
If corn were rendered cheap, meat would experience a reduc-
tion of price, and if the Premier were only to take the holiest
and obvious means of increasing subsistence to meet the
demands of a growing population, he %vomit buldiy purpose a
law for making bread accessible to every industrious member
of the community."
