plea, in justification, has been established, to r, move
from them the serious charge of having induced parties
;,ere to purchase lands of them in New Zealand—which
the Company cannot have believed themselves, surely,
pending their unsettled and uncompleted negotiations
with the Government, to have possessed so ab-
solutely as to be entitled to make them the
subject of bargain and sale with others. We do
not see that Mr. BULLER has purified the Broad street
Direction from permitting, soliciting, encouraging
British subjects to emigrate to a most remote and savage
country, upon their arrival in which they found
that the lands which they had travelled some twelve
thousand miles to settle upon, were not yet so far
within the possession—or even the jurisdiction of the
Company—as to enable the latter to locate a single
settler there with a valid or effectual title. But as the
New Zealand Company, for our present purpose, are not
upon their trial, and for the purposes of the debate re-
cently raised in Parliament, the Colonial Department
are ; we shall advert only to a few points that
possess an interest so intrinsic as to be inde-
pendent either of the one or the other of
these points of view. As to the excellencies which
the Learned Member claimed for a well-conducted sys-
tem of colonial emigration in general, we are as little
disposed to contest them as we are to give an unquali-
fied concurrence in the eulogies he so unsparingly pro-
nounced on the system adopted by the New Zealand
Company in particular. Equally sceptical are we as to
the " disinterestedness " of the latter body, notwith-
standing the warm eulogiums be passed upon it. But
we can fully enter into the warmth and earnestness with
which the Learned Member takes up the cause of the
British settlement in that noble country, in its present
condition, through whatever course of events it has been
attained. The total of land in the islands of New
Zealand, of a quality available fur settlement
and cultivation by British subjects, is not less,
it seems, than sixty millions of acres, the far greater
portion of it readily accessible from a line of coast ex-
tending nearly 3,000 miles—and its soil producing some
of the finest ship timber and other woods in the world,
and eminently prolific in its yield of all the principal
grains, pulse, and roots forming the staples of European
subsistence. Kr. BULLER developed, with a simplicity
and force every way worthy of his theme, the remark-
able natural advantages of geographical position, and
still more singular accidents of political importance, that
now combined to impart a character of growing conse-
quence to New Zealand. The recent occupations of
France in the Marquesas and the Society Islands—the
establishments of America among the Sandwich group—
the probable early accomplishment of a permanent com-
munication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by
the Isthmus of Panama, of Darien, or even of Tchuhan-
tepec;—the great dominions of the States of Mexico,
Chili, and Peru, and our important territory of the
Oregon along the western and north-western shores of
America; these points are well worthy of all the con-
sideration which the Learned Gentleman desires to draw
to them. We reserve our examination of the general
deportment of the Colonial Government to this colony
in its latter days—to its unaccountable coquettings with
the Crown rights of possession, and the chartered
reply of the New Zealand Company—its deplorable
slumbering in the first instance over the questions of title,
goverment, protection; or no title, no government, no
protection ; its backing up of Captain FITZROY, and Captain
FITZROY'S ogre-like patronage of the ruffian chief who
concocted the massacre which we have had so lately to
deplore. It is not our design at present to enter upon
any facts of which our present knowledge depends on
mere ex purse statements. Neither shall we attempt to
prove to Mr. BULLER that which we think we could
readily do, that he has much underrated the aboriginal
character of the New Zealander, both for its moral and
its intellectual qualities, in the parallel he has run be-
tween it, and that of the Nomadie savages of North
America, and the Red Carib. But we cannot close this
notice of thanks to the Learned Member for a very ad-
mirable speech, without expressing our respect for the
clearness and good sense of some of the opinions avowed
by him on the general rights of civilised men to settle
on unoccupied lands forming part of the country of
barbarians, the paucity of whose numbers bears no rela-
tion to the vast extent of their territory. The strongest
point he has established in favour of the New Zealand
Company is, that they have voluntarily secured to the
native proprietors of all lands which they have dealt
with there for a permanent property or freehold in one-
tenth of such lands. This will always form a redeeming
feature in contracts where the consideration paid by the
European purchaser to the barbarian seller appears to
be most inadequate. But here we reach a subject which,
more especially in connexion with the land.jobbing
activity of the Church missionaries, is too important not
to form matter fur a separate paper.

The Madrid journals of the 11th contain no political
news. In one of them appears a letter from the Marquis
VILUMA, who has been charged with intriguing for the
restoration of absolute government, and aiding the
Camarilla in bringing about a marriage between the
QUEEN and the Prince of ASTURIAS. lie denies the
charges, and says he is not the head of a party desirous
to elevate the dignity of the QUEEN on the ruins of the
Constitution. Politics had been abandoned for a season
at Madrid, the inhabitants being fully occupied with the
bull-fights. The Tiempo of the 10th gives the following
account of one which had created much interest, from
the number of foreigners who entered the arena :

"Yesterday, between three and four o'clock, the bullfight, so
much talked of in this capital, took place in the Jesuits' garden be-
longing to M. Fagoaga. The bills had not ventured to state that
the bulls would be fought, nor should we venture to affirm it ; but
it is fact that the bulls made their appearance in the arena, and that
they weredispatched (to use a technical term) in the best style the said
amateurs could manage it. We believe we are not indiscreet when
we say that the combatants in this strange fight were the very flower
of diplomacy and of the society of Madrid. Among them figured
the Duke of Glucksberg (the Paris papers contradict this), M.
Mercier, of the French Embassy, MM. Beauvallon and
D'Epervilly, who have sought refuge in Spain in consequence
of a well.known occurrence at Paris, the Count de
Castella, Mr. Russell, Count de Caceres, the Duke d'Alba,
Mr. Moore, Senor Fagoaga, Den Jose Domingo, and Mr. Living-
stone. Four nations were, therefore, in presence, Spain, England,
France, and the United States. Senor Tolgiaria killed the first
young bull! M. Beauvallon killed the second, which was a rather
more formidable one, and dexterously wounded by Mr. Moore with
several darts ; the third died by the hand of Mr. Livingstone.
The fourth was spared at the request of a lady. M. Beauvallon
was to have slain the fifth, but that matador hurt his hand :with
his sword,r.nd the bull was killed by M. Mercier. The sixth was
truly a formidable bull, judging from the general desertion that took
place in the lists, and he was dispatched by a professional matador.
Two young bulls next appeared, and were spared. The combatants
proved themselves capable of eclipsing in due time the glory of the
Romeros and Illos, and the amusements would have been com-
plete had It not been for the accident that happened to M. Beau.
vallon, who, in addition to the wound already noticed, also received
some hern.thrusts. But let us not forget the Picadores and Ban.
derilleros, who behaved superbly. M. Rupel and the Count de
Castille displayed both courage and skill; a horn killed a horse
under the former. The Viscount D'Eperville) and the Duke de
Glucksberg rivalled their two companions by the intrepidity with
which they assailed the two most dreaded young bulls. The Vis.
count D'Epervilley received a blow which prevented his resuming
his lance, but it was fortunatelyattended with no serious conse-
quences. Among the Banderllleros and Capeadores were Mr.
Moore, the Marquis de Caceres, and Senor Fagoaga, who distin-
guished themselves. The Duke d'Alba received a horn wound." t
The Funds had risen, in consequence, it was said, of a
loan having been obtained at Paris for the purpose of
supporting Spanish Stock. On the 11th the Three per
Cents. closed at 31 13-16 for cash, and 321 at 60 days ;
the Five per Cents. at 21i for cash, and 21i at GO
days ; and the Debt without Interest at 6i for cash, and
7-1 at GO days.

We learn from the Paris papers, that, in addition to
the Bills to be carried this session, mentioned in Tire
Sun of yesterday, the Chamber of Deputies, after some
discussion, had sanctioned the following:—Bills for
Trans-atlantic steam-boats, for improving the harbours
of Toulon and Port Vendres, repairing the Cathedral of
Notre Dame, rescinding the Bth clause of the Railroad
Act of 1842, and establishing a branch of the Bank of
France at Algiers, and for preventing the adulteration
of wine. The Chamber, on Tuesday, continued the dis-
cussion on the army estimates, in the course of which M.
DuPIN complained of the frequent changes made in the
uniform of the troops, which caused great expense to the
officers as well as the country. The Committee on the
Great Western Railway took into consideration a pro-
position made by a new Company, formed by the Rouen
and Versailles Companies, for the purpose of making
branch lines to Lisieux and Alencon, should the line pass
through Leo Mans. In that case the localities now
demanding the postponement of that Bill, would by this
arrangement be fully satisfied. The Committee and the
Minister of Public Works were understood to have ac-
cepted the offer. The Peers had appoiated Committees
to examine the Bills for the lines of railway between
Paris and Lyons, and Lyons and Avignon. All the
Members are in favour of the Bills. The KING held a
Cabinet Council on Tuesday at the Tuileries, and after-
wards proceeded to the Louvre, and laid the first stone
of a pedestal for the equestrian statue of the Duke of
ORLEANS.

day at 84f. 10c. ; the Five per
.Cents. at 122 f. 10c. ;

QUEEN'S BENCII-(THIS DAY.)
THE SPA.FIELDS BURIAL GROUND.
(Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.)

TrIE QUEEN, AT TM: PROSECUTION OF %%ILL/AM CHARLES BIRD, TON

SMITH, FRANCIS GREEN, AND OTIIERS.

The Solicitor-General appeared as counsel on behalf of the
Crown, and J. B. Wakeling, Esq., of St. John's-square, as solicitor;
Mr. Jarvis, Q C., appeared for the defendants.
The Court was crowded to excess, and the greatest interest was
felt In the proceedings.

The Spa-fields burial-ground is situated in the meat populous
part of the parish of Clerkenwell, abutting upon Exmouth-street,
Cold Bath-square. About four months ago complaints were made
to the Magistrate at Clerkenwell Police-ceurt by Mr. Watt, a
pawnbroker in Exmouth.street, and several moat respectable trades-
men, that certain horrible and disgusting practices were carried on
in the burial ground. It was stated that human bodies were ex-
humed and burnt, and that the alluvia arising from the putrid
Seth was most prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants. There-
upon Mr. Wakeling, ve,try-clerk to Clerkenwell parish, came for.
ward to sustain the complaint of the inhabitants, and determined
upon prosecuting the offending parties at his own expense, if the
parish did not do so. The proceedings at the Court appeared in
the newspapers, and the public mind was much excited by the re-
volting statements. The matter was brought under the cogni-
sance of the House of Commons, and the Government at length
came to the resolution of prosecuting the parties, and suppressing
the nuisance.

The jury having been sworn, the indictment, containing nume-
rous counts, was read
The defendants pleaded mot guilty.
The SOLICITOR.GENERAL stated that this prosecution was insti.
tuted by the Government for the purpose of putting down a sys-
tem, the existence of which in Spa-fields Burial•ground had been
much complained of; but he was happy to say that a proposal had
been made by his Learned Friend Mr. Jarvis, by which the Court
and jury would be saved trouble, and the nuisance effectually abated.
The prosecution was instituted on public grounds, to preserve the
health of the public. The defendants had agreed to plead guilty
to the sixth count of the declaration, which would, he thought,
answer every purpose, inasmuch as the matter would be referred
to the arbitration of a gentleman who would decide in what
manner the ground should be in future conducted. He con-
sented to their pleading guilty on these terms.
Mr. JARVIS, Q.C., said he acquiesced in the course mentioned
by the Solicitor-General, and he would plead guilty to the sixth
count, which was as follows. The owners of the burial-ground
had not been aware that any improper practices were carrried on
there, and were desirous of having it properly conducted. The sixth
count was as follows :

"That the said Robert Vinal and the said William Langford, on
the said Ist day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1841, afore.
said, were and from thence hitherto have been, and still are, pos-
sessed of a certain close, situate and being in the parish aforesaid,
in the county aforesaid ; and which said close, during the time
aforesaid, had been and was kept and used for the interment and
burial of deceased persons, for the lucre and gain of the said
Robert Vinal and William Langford, in that behalf, and divers, to
wit one thousand deceased persons had,: during the time
aforesaid, had been and were interred and buried therein. That
the said Francis Green, Charles Bird, William Green, Tom Smith,
and Stephen Bishop, were, on the said Ist day of January, in
the year of our Lord, 1841, and on divers other days and times,
between that day and the day of the taking of this inquisition,
hired and employed in and about the interment and burial of de-
ceased persons, in the said close, for certain hire and reward to
them, paid in that behalf, whereupon it then and there became
and was the duty of the said Robert Vinal, &c., &c., not to inter
and bury in the said close a greater number of deceased persons
than could be decently interred and buried therein, so that the
bodies and remains of deceased persons theretofore interred and
buried might not be thereby disturbed. That the said Robert
Vinal, William Longford, &c., &c., not regarding their duty
in that behalf, nor the religion, laws, and customs of this realm,
but contriving and intending to obtain lucre and gain, by interring
and burying in the said close a greater number of deceased persons
than could be decently interred and burled therein, on the Ist day
of January, in the year of the reign aforesaid, and on divers other days
and times, between that day and the day of the taking of this inquisi-
tion, with force and arms, &c., at the parish aforesaid, in the
county aforesaid, unlawfully, wickedly, and indecently, did dig up
and disinter divers, to wit, 1,000 bodies, and 1,000 remains of
bodies of persons deceased, lately before then respectively interred
and buried in graves, in the said close, in order and for the purpose
of interring and burying in the said last-mentioned graves, for
lucre and gain to them in that behalf, divers other bodies of de-
ceased persons, to the great indecency of Christian burial, to the
evil example of all others in the like case offending, and against
the peace of our said lady the Queen, her Crown and dignity."
After some further discussion, the following decision was agreed
upon •

" That the defendants should plead gu►lty to the 6th count--
that the residue of the indictment should be referred to the deci-
sion of Mr. Brannell, who Is to direct in what manner the burial_
ground is to be in future conducted. Judgment of the Court to
be respited for one year, and if the directions of Mr. Brannell
are complied with, no further proceedings to be taken--no costs
on either side—no arrest of judgment or writ of error. The costs
of arbitration to be paid by the prosecutors and defendants, each a
moiety.

SHERIFFS, COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Under. Sheriff BURCHELL.)
CLARKE V. WILDIORE.

The plaintiff in this action is a hair.dresser in Ironmonger-row,
St. Luke's, and the defendant is a medical gentleman in Kensing-
ton-terrace, Bayswater. The action was brought to recover the
sum of 71. 10s., the balance of an account for rent, work, and labour,
and money laid out for defendant.
The facts of the case were these :—ln August 184 i, the
defendant called on plaintiff and asked if he could accommodate
a lady with a room, who was near her confinement, and was
answered in the affirmitive, and defendant then agreed
that the rent should be 2s. a week till occupied, and 4s. when the
lady took possession. Plaintiff was also desired to hire a nurse,
which he did. The lady, however, did not arrive as expected, and
all was prepared. The defendant, however, called several times,
and one night In December a messenger arrived for Mrs. Clarke, to
whom, on going to Kensington, defendant gave an infant, a day old,
into her charge, amid she took it to the nurse at two o'clock in the
Morning of the 7th. Plaintiff and his wife acted as sponsors at the
christening and mourners at the funeral, the infant dying in June.
Defendant and a Mrs. Wells, the mother, occasionally called, but
plaintiff was left to pay the expense of the funeral.
On the faith of some notes which had passed it was now con-
tended fur the defendant that he had merely acted as the agent of
Mrs. Wells, and the father of the child, who was a man of family,
named Hudson, residing in Kensington Gravel.pits. One letter hail
been drawn out by defendant fur plaintiff to copy and direct to defend-
ant, abusing both Mrs. Wells and Mr. Hudson, and threatening ex-
posure; but this letter, however, was made to appear as though he
did not hold defendant personally liable, but to frighten Hudson.
There had been another letter containing the terms of agreement,
which had been partially destroyed at the suggestion of defendant.
Mrs. Webb was called with an endeavour to show that she had
agreed with Mrs. Clarke after defendant had called, and had paid
some money. She said she was a widow, and had been so for
twelve months when she bore the child.

Mr. Hudson was also called, and admitted he was father of the
child, and had refused payment.
The jury, without waiting for Counsel's reply, or the Under-
Sheriff's summing up, gave a verdict for the full amount.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice P►rresov and Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Maas, a.—Daniel Johncock, 21, a respectable looking young
man, described in the calendar as a waiter, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Hannah Moore.

Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended
the prisoner. _ _

. -
From the statement of the Learned Counsel, and from
the evidence adduced, it appeared :--That the prisoner and the
deceased lived together in service; they had been discharged
from that situation, and being unhappy in their minds they deter.
mined to commit suicide. The prisoner bought some oxalic acid,
which he administered to the young woman and also to himself.
That portion which was given to Hannah Moore caused her death,
but the prisoner recovered from the effects of the poison he had
taken ; this being the case, and the prisoner being present at the
time the poison was taken by the deceased, in the eye of the law
he was considered guilty of murder, and hence the present charge.
The clerk of the Lambeth.street Police.court proved the deposi-
tions and statements made by the prisoner.

The landlady of the Coach and Horses beer.shop, Cross. street,
Hatton-garden, proved that the prisoner and the deceased came to
her house on the 26th of May, and wanted a bed, which she ulti.
mately let them have. On the next morning they asked if they
could have the same bed the next night, to which she replied that
they could, and they went away. In the middle of the day the
young woman came home accompanied by the prisoner. She said
she was very ill, and must go to bed. She did so, and on witness
going up the next morning, she saw her lying on the bed dead, and
the prisoner had been taken off to the station-house.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The young man at the bar
seensed extremely atsisiched to the deceased, and she appeared to
have great control over him.
Charlotte Davis, a lodger at the Ccach and Horses, corroborated
the evidence of the last witness. When slie went into the room
the next day she saw the deceased lying with her face on the
pillow, and on lifting her up she found she was nearly dead. On
lifting her up, she heard a noise in her throat. Witness then
fetched some water and bathed her face, and she breathed several
times. The prisoner fetched a doctor, and appeared most dejected
in his spirits. On the doctor's arriving he said she was dead.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The prisoner went down upon
his knees on finding the deceased had expired, and cried bitterly.
He appeared almost frantic.
Wm. Everley lodged at the Coach and Horses. Recollected the
night in question. Saw the prisoner take up a pot of hot water to
the room where the deceased was. Witness heard him ask for the
nearest doctor, and he was directed to Leather lane. Witness
went with him ; he ran all the way, and when they got there, they
were told to go to Mr. Pollock, of Hatton.garden ;
the prisoner went there by himself, and witness
went home, and went up into the room in which
deceased was. She was then nearly dead. She died in a minute
or two. When the prisoner returned with Dr. Pollock lie asked
if she was dead, and upon being told she was, he threw himself
on the bed in a most frantic manner. He said they had both
taken poison. He then handed several papers to the doctor,
among which was a letter, and two papers marked " Poison."
The landlord then gave the prisoner in charge of the police, and he
was taken away.
Daniel Humphries,
a police constable, G. 74—Took the prisoner
into custody, who appeared at that time to be in great distress of
mind and very ill in body. When witness told the prisoner he
must go along with him,
.
he replied he would go anywhere with
him. As they were going along, the prisoner, when they came to
Exmouth-street, said, pointing to, a chemist's shop," I bought one
lot there." He then asked witness what he thought they
would do with MM. Would they hang him ? To which
witness replied he did know what would be done, when
the prisoner said, "Oh, dear, what a foolish young man I have
been." While at the station-house he appeared wretched. Wit-
ness received a letter from Mr. Pollock while at the station-house,
which he produced. Durin the time the prisoner was at the
station-house the stomach-pump was applied, and he was after.
wards removed to the Free Hospital, where be vomited very much.
Upon witness searching him at the station-house, he found two
g
pieces of paper in his waistcoat pocket marked " poison," two so-
vereigns, t half-crowns, two shillings, a sixpence, a fourpenny.
piece, and threepence-halfpenny in copper, a knife, a key, two silk
handkerchiefs, a hand towel, and a collar.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The prisoner was so distressed
that he hardly knew what lie was talking about.
George Wilkinson, another policeman, after corroborating the
evidence of the last witness stated that he heard the prisoner say
to Mr. Taylor, the surgeon who attended at the station.house, that
he and the young woman had taken poison ; that she mixed it,
and they both took portions alike. After this Mr. Taylor applied
the stomach-pump.
Inspector Perry said that the prisoner told him that he should
not have known what to have asked for had not the young woman
told him, and her father being a boot-maker, she said if any ques-
tions were asked he was to say it was for cleaning boot-tops.
Mr. Pollock, the surgeon of Hatton-garden, then gave his evi-
dence as to being called in by the prisoner to see the deceased. The
prisoner, among other things, told him that he and the deceased had
been walking about in a most melancholy state for some time. That
they had been on Waterloo-bridge, where lie had great difficulty in
preventing the deceased from throwing herself over the bridge.
That they then agreed to take poison together, which they did, but
that he had been very sick and brought his up. He said that the
reason they had taken poison was from distress, at being discharged
from their situations at a moment's notice. He said the reason of
their discharge was because he had been seen coming out of her
bed.roorn. Witness made a post mortem examination of the de-
ceased, and attributed her death to inflammation of the Intestines,
particularly the smaller ones, occasioned by poison.
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—The prisoner appeared in great
distress at the death of the young woman, and said he only re-
gretted that he had not died too.

After several other witnesses had been examined, and the state-
ment made by the prisoner at Worship-street read, the case for
the prosecution closed.

During the time several of the witnesses were giving their evi-
dence the prisoner was repeatedly in tears, and appeared deeply
affected.

Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up at considerable length, and

The jury retired at two o'clock ; and, after an absenee of half an
hour, they returned into Court, and after their names had been
called over, and they had answered to them,
The Cletk of the Arraigns said—Gentlemen, are you agreed on
your verdict I, The Foreman—We are..

Clerk of the Arraigns—Do you find the prisoner at the bar
Guilty or Not Guilty? The Foreman (in a firm voice)—Not
Guilty.
The prisoner then bowed most respectfully, and left the dock.

We have accounts from Sydney as late as March 15.
Wool had been lower during the previous month, on account
of the decline here last October, upon second qualities. For
advances upon the staple, 5 per cent. discount was readily
given. The commercial markets were not active.
According to the latest accounts from New Zealand that
we can find in the Sydney journals, a collision between our
troops and the natives was considered inevitable.
By another arrival there are dates of the Bth and 11th,
from Van Diemen's Land. The colonial press was grumbling
at the prospect of increased taxation to meet the deficient
revenue, at a time when they were so little able to afford it.
The East India letters have been delivered, and describe
the state of the markets for European imports as being still
rather satisfactory, compared to what it was a month or two
back. There was likely to be a good crop of indigo, and
many other important articles promised well.
From Ceylon it is stated that—" The weather since our
last has been of the most favourable character for the coffee
estates, and we imagine it is seldom that planters have a
prospect of a heavier crop than is this year promised; the
blossoming has been abundant arid healthy, and the season-
able showers seem to have turned every flower to account.
Two full blossomings have already taken place, and the buds
of a third are in an advanced state. The earliest forward
berries look healthy, and are rapidly swelling, and as the
monsoon now appears to be changing, and we may expect
moist weather, an abundant and early crop must be the
result."

The Funds have been very steady to-day, but Consols have
not risen above 99%. The premium on Exchequer-bills also
continues depressed at 57s to 555. New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 1021/8 to 14, and the Three per
Cents. 991 to %. Bank Stock is at 211.
Spanish Stock is very heavy still, the Five per Cents.
being 281 , and the Passive 71/s to %. There is scarcely
anything doing in the Foreign Bonds. Dutch Two-and-a-
lf per Cents. are 63%, and Mexican Deferred, 21%.
There is rather more doing in Shares, principally in South-
Eastern, which have advanced. Cambridge and Lincoln
have been flat.
