NEW ZEALAND—THE ADJOURNED DEBATE.

Mr. ELLICE said he could not allow the present ques-
tion to pass over without offering a few remarks upon it.
He would consume very little of the time of the House by
going back into any details which had been discussed before.
With respect to the past, he thought he might state that, in
the course of a long experience—nearly 40 years—with the colo-
nies and colonial administration of this empire, he had never seen
such a want of foresight, system, and common sense as had
been exhibited by the Government since the commencement
of these New Zealand transactions. He had been
one of an association of gentlemen invited by his
111
lamented friend Lord Durham to consider the
expediency of opening a communication with the islands
of New Zealand. Application was made to the Crown for
protection to that undertaking. He subscribed his share of the
funds necessary for the undertaking, but having ascertained
that it was impossible to obtain protection from the Govern-
ment, and that even a charter was denied to the gentlemen
who had commenceA that undertaking, he withdrew imme-
diately
from it, not desiring to be responsible for carrying
into a remote wilderness, and without the protection
or the control of the law, settlers from this country.
Beyond this he had interfered no further. And here let him
say that he was indebted to the present Company for the re-
p iyment of the money he had advanced to the
former Company, one shilling of which he never
expected to receive ; but beyond this he knew nothing
whatever of the present Company.—( Hear, hear.) He
would say, then, that it would be impossible for him to approve
of the resolution appointing the present Company, for he con-
ceived it was a wrong act on the part of those who were instru-
mental in sending out to that savage island those emigrants,
and it was equally wrong in the Government to have permitted
it, without giving to them the protection and safeguard of the
law. But while he held that opinion he should also state that
he conceived the New Zealand Company had done a great deal
of good ; and the discussion that the affair had created in that
House was the result of the pressure from without, and the result
would be to compel the Government to act with caution
and circumspection in future. He did think it was the duty
of the authorities of this country to have taken care that the
settlement of strangers in that island should have been made as
little irksom- to the natives as possible. But instead of that, the
Government of this country had made conflicting parties of
the missionaries and the New Zealand Company, and all these
differences only tended to defeat the object it should have been

CAMMIXDGE AND LINCOLN rt AMWAY.

Major Hanley, of Boston, was the first witness called at the
sitting of the Committee this day--His opinion was, that the Cam-
bridge and Lincoln line would be much more convenient and use-
ful for all purposes to that part of the country than the London
and Yorkshire.

To Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKS—Was also in favour of the Cam-
bridge and Lincoln line, because it was a line capable of being
cheaply constructed.
Mr. Wm. Parker, J.P.--Resides near Bourne. Was in favour
of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, because it passed through the
centre of a country capable of great fertility, and would afford much
accommodation to a large population, which was annually increas-
ing. The line would pass through a district called the Black Sluice,
which was a continuous level of 100,000 acres. There is now a
Bill before Parliament for draining and improving the Black Sluice
navigation.

The entire day was taken up with the production of witnesses
whose testimony was of a character precisely similar to the fore-
going, and presented no new feature whatever, and varying only
as to the locality from whence the witnesses came, all of whom
concurred in the general opinion that the Cambridge and Lincoln
scheme would be productive of great benefits to the whole district
through which it was to pass, benefits which they contended could
not be the result of the formation of the London and York line.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The performances last evening were for the benefit of
Madame Grisi, and, as might have been expected, the
house was crowded to excess. The opera was Rossini's
Otello, the first time of its performance this season. The
cast was the same as last season, and a stronger no
lyrical theatre in Europe can furnish. Desdemona was
one of the earliest characters in which Grisi ap-
peared in England, and it still continues to be,
if not her very greatest dramatic impersonation, yet
among her very greatest characters. She never per-
formed the character better in her life than she did last
evening. Mario surprised the habitues of the opera last
season by his Otello. There was a prestige then exist-
ing that Rubini had made the character so completely
his own, that no one could venture, with any chance of
suci.;ess, to appear as Otello before the dilettanti
who remembered him in the part. Mario, how-
ever, has completely destroyed that prestige. His
Otello is a fine piece of lyrical acting, and in dressing
of the part he is perfectly classical, and infiaitely more
correct than his predecessor. Fornasari's lago was a fine
and vigorous piece of acting, and the Elmiro of Lablache
was superb. He gives a whole tragedy in two words.
Who that has ever seen and heard him give the Te male-
dice, can ever forget the sublimity which he throws into
that short sentence. The danseuses Viennoises, who have
been re-engaged, gave some of their most favourite
dances. Castellan, Brambilla, and Moriani appeared in
a scene of Linda di Chamouni, and, after that, we had
Carlotta Grisi in La Traand,aise, and Lucile Grahn and
Perrot in the Mazourha d'.E.ztase. Each succeeding
Thursday at the Opera eclipses its predecessor in at-
traction.

ATTPMPTED MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Wednesday
morning, about twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Nottingham-
street, Bethnal green, were alarmed by the screams of a female, and
in a few seconds a woman rushed out of No. 5 deluged in blood,
from a frightful wound in the throat, inflicted by her husband
with a shoemaker's knife. She was immediately taken to the sur-
gery of Dr. Moore, and the wounds were dressed by his principal
assistant, Mr. Cooper. Durin., the interval, the man, whose name
is Warren, cut his own throat in so severe a manner that he was
supposed to be dead; but on examining him at the London Hos-
pital, to which lie was immediately taken, life was not extinct. He
now lies there in a hopeless state. Jealousy of his wife, who is
an interesting looking female, twenty years of age, is stated to be
the cause ; and from all that cars be ascertained, without founds
tion.

THE EXECUTION.

The last dreadful sentence of the law was carried into
effect on the top of Wilton gaol, near Taunton. The
time appointed for the execution was eleven o'clock, but
each was the anxiety to witness The death of this noto-
rious murderess, that long before that hour-thousands of
people were congregated in front of the prison.
The wretched culprit retired to rest at twelve o'clock
last night, up to which hour the chaplain was in attend-
ance upon her. She slept soundly till six this morning,
when she got up and ate a hearty breakfast. She was
visited early by the chaplain, the Under-Sheriff, and the
Governor, and again strongly protested her innocence,
saying that she bought the poison for herself, and that
her brother John took it from her bag and gave it to
her mother and brother. When entreated by the
Under-Sheriff, about ten o'clock this morning, to tell
the truth, she very snappishly told him not to press her
with any further questions on the subject. Shortly after
ten she attended the chapel, and partook of the Sacra-
ment. At the conclusion of the service she was con-
ducted to the press-room, where preparations were made
for her execution. Shortly before eleven she appeared
on the scaffold; she joined in the prayers, and again

LIVERPOOL DOCKS BILL.
On the order of the day being read for the third read-

Mr. ESCOTT moved the omission of the following
clause :—" And whereas doubts have been entertained
whether the powers and remedies given to the trust( es
for recovering and enforcing payment of the rates and '
duties payable to them under and by virtue of the said
recited Acts, are applicable to the recovery of the rates
and duties payable by vessels entering the said port and
not using the docks of the trustees ; and it is expedh nt
that such doubts should be removed ; be it enacted, that
if the master of any vessel entering the said pert, and
not using the docks of the said trustees, shall refuse or
neglect to pay to the said trustees the rates payable in
in respect of such vessels, it shall be lawful for any
justice of the peace of the counties of Lancaster or
Chester, as the ease may require, upon complaint in
writing made before him by the person authorised to de-
mand or receive the said rates, that he had demanded the
same from the said master, and that the same were due and
unpais , to issue his warrant to take and distrain such
• vessel, her tackle, apparel, and furniture, or any part
thereof, and to detain such distress until such rats shall
have been paid ; and in case any of the said rates shall
remain unpaid for the space of three days next after
any distress so made, it shall be lawful for such persan
to cause such distress to be appraised by two or more
1 sworn appraisers, and afterwards to sell the distress and
therewith to satisfy the rates so unpaid, and all the ex-
penses of keeping, appraising, and selling such dirt: ess,
rendering the overplus (if any) to the said mas-
ter upon demand ; and if any dispute shall arise
as to the amount of such rates, or of the
charges occasioned by such distress, it shall be lawful for
the person distraining to detain such distress until the
amount of such rates and the charges of such distress
shall be ascertained and determined by such justice upon
application made to him for that purpose. —lt was re-

the Right Honourable Gentleman, though he supported
the Maynooth grant, spoke vehemently against those
who proposed it, and extracted all that party virulence

MAYNOOTH.

Lord BROUGHAM in presenting a petition agains,
the grant to Meynooth, took the opportunity of contra-
dicting aspositively as words could do, the statement which
had been made in the other House of Parliament, that
an attack which had appeared in one of the French
papers was written by one of the Ministers of France.
That statement had given great pain to the individuals
to whom it referred, and he was requested to give the
rumour the most unqualified contradiction.
The Earl of CLANCARTY complained that he had
asked the question, to which he had received no answer.
The object of that question was to ascertain how her
Majesty's Ministers could ;reconcile this grant to May-
nooth with the terms of the oath of supremacy.
Lord MONTEAGLE said, that he conceived that not-
withstanding what had been said of the oath of supre•
macy and the Act of Settlement, he thought that
he would he a person of extraordinary ingenuity
Ilho could discover within the four corners of the oath of
supremacy, anything which at all forbid the grant to
Maynooth, though perhaps the Noble Earl's ingenuity
was equal to the task.
The Earl of CLANCARTY complained that
the Noble Lord had attacked him ungener-
o. usly, and stated that the object of the Bill
in 1795 was to provide education for the Roman Catho-
lics of Ireland, and he conceived that this additonal grant
would only tend to increase the spirit of insubordination,
which had been encouraged, if it had not been altogther
elicited, by the proceedings at Maynooth.
Lord BEAUMONT said the Noble Earl had dis-
played the rnost deplorable ignorance of the Catholic
religion if he conceived that one tecet of that religion
had been altered. The object of the grant in 1795 had been
to furnish education for the noraan Catholics of
Ireland. The
people of lreland were dependent
upon their priests for their education, and the object
of this grant was to improve the education of the priests,
reasons which
and consequently of the people. The very
justified the Bill of 1795 justified also the grant of this
year, Bet if the Noble Earl wished to make any state-
ment, a Noble Duke would present a petition to. morrow,
and then, in accordance withthe custom of the House,
he might enter into a discussion of the principle.
RAILWAYS.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from seve-
ral persons in Manchester, Nottingham, and other
places, largely interested in railways, complaining that
their property had been most materially injured by
the alterations made in the mode of management
by the Directors, and he would take that opportunity of
stating that he entirely differed from the petitioners, for
he thought if they chose to risk their money in these

RAILWAY.

Mr. Coppock appeared for the opposing petitioner.
Mr. NIAS submitted three allegations, complaining of
certain fields and gardens within the limits of deviation.
The Committee were of opinion that the allegations could
not be sustained. Standing orders not complied with in some
instances. Bill referred to Select Committee on Standing
Orders.

DISS AND COLCHESTER RAILWAY.
Mr. VENABIXS appeared for the promoters of this ad.
journed case, and read over the several allegations which the
agents for and against had settled out of doors.
Mr. HUNT, for the opponents, called an engineer to prove
that the miles and furlongs were not correctly marked on the
plans and sections for a distance of twenty-five miles.
The room was cleared on the allegation, and upon our re-
admission,
The CHAIRMAN said the Committee were of opinion that
though the plans and sections did not exactly agree, yet the
inaccuracies were not such as could mislead the owners of
the property comprised in the allegation.
Bill referred to the Select Committee on Standing Orders.
LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE (WITII BRANCH)
RAILWAY.
This line of railway is to be thirty miles in length on the
main line, with a branch of seven miles. Estimated cost,
500,0001. Engineer, Mr Robert Stephenson ; agent for the
Bill, Mr. Ellicombe.
The formal notices having been gone into, a petition
against the scheme from Josiah Dimsdale, draughtsman, of
No. 3, West °s
-place, City-road, was put in.
Mr. BAKER appeared as agent for the opponent, and stated
that certain owners, occupiers, lessees, and joint lessees, had
not received notice of the intention of the promoters to take
certain property on the proposed line.
The first allegation was that Mr. Dimsdale, as one of the
undertakers of the Loughfoyle Reclamation Company,
had not received notice of the slab of Loughfoyle being re-
quired for the purpose of the railway.
Mr. ELLICOMBE maintained that the allegation could not be
sustained, inasmuch as it was not proved that Mr, Dimsdale
was an undertaker on the 30th of November tut.
Mr. BAKER was unable to adduce evidence to that effect.
Allegation not sustained,
Mr. BAKER submitted that no subscription contract had
been lodged in the Private Bill-office with reference to the
branch line, and that consequently the standing order•
not Veen complied With.

MAYNOOTH GRANT.

Mr. EMERSON TENNENT presented petitions from
several places in Ireland against the grant to Maynooth.
Mr. Hindley presented 12 petions against the grant
to Maynooth College, from the following p'aces:—ln •
habitants of Botsford, Suffolk; Wyke, York ; Flay( rang
Atte Bower, Essex; Protestant Dissenters, Kii;gst,n,
Surrey ; Penegroes Whitechurch, Pembroke ; Ashby-
de-la-Zouch, Loughborough ; Calvanistic Methodists,
Llanywniw, Denbigh ; Talynh, Brecon ; teachers of
Sunday Schools, Castle-yard, Holland-street, Surrey ;
and Frindsbury, Kent.
LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.

An HoN. MEMBER, whose name we could not hear,
presented a petition in favour of the London and York
Railway.
CLYDESDALE JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL.
Mr. HOPE JOIINSTONE presented petitions, nu-
merously signed, from Glasgow, Hamilton, Ruthergien,
Bothwell, and Blantyre, in favour of this measure.
MR. BURKE AND THE MIDLAND RAILWAYS.
The SPEAKER in reply to a question from Lord G.
SOMERSET, stated that since this matter had been
brought under his notice, be had taken an opportunity
of looking into the rules of the House bearing upon
the subject. He found that some years ago, Mr.
speaker Abercromby framed a number of rules fur re-
gulating the practice of Parliamentary agents,
but the only one of any inportance was
the second rule, which required that all Par-
liamentary agents before they were T-milted
to practice should make a declaration whereby they
agreed to observe ail the rules and standing orders of
the House. This rule, however, was not sufficiently
stringent, and he had, therefore, framed a rule making
every Parliamentary agent personally responsible to the
House fur the due observance of the standing and ses-
sional orders.
Lord G. SOMERSET said, under those circumstances
he was not inclined to persist in his motion respecting
an act of negligence lately committed by a Parlia
mentary agent.

MAGAZINES-(CONTINUED)
FI3IIER'S COLOMAL MAGAZINE.

In this number we have the commencement of " Sou-
venirs, a Voyage to India," by Capt. Doveton, which
promises to be very interesting. " Trinidad in the
Nineteenth Century," is concluded, and there is an
account of the " Character and Habits of the Guaranno
Indians," in which the writer observes that " to read of
the primitive habits of our fellow-creatures is not only
amusing, but is also highly instructive, as teaching us to
be thankful to an all-bountiful Providence for the
great benefits and advantages of civilization, which we
enjoy in this our highly-favoured country." There is an
article on the benefits of emigration, and there are
other papers of foreign and colonial interest.
