Registered Paletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking
for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it
not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no
slitht recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in
the country ; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed,
viz., shooting, Is truly good. The Heather recommended, but many

NEW ZEALAND.
TO THE EDIT')!? OF THE SUN.

Six,—The news from New Zealand, bad as it is, is le•s
disastrous thso there was reason to expect. 1 left Auckland
towards 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 200 men would be wholly insufficient to keep the
natives in subjection, since military aid would be required in a
dozen or more places at once, and to divide a small force would
be but to invite its certain destruction.

A month was suffered to pass over without Sir George Gipps
sending the aid required ! When, urged by the recollection of
the many friends in New Zealand, who had charged me net to
forget their precarious position, 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 subsequently had with Major Robertson,
I understood that the reason a larger force than 200 men would
not be sent down to New Zealand was, that no snore men had
been " asked for" by Governor Fitzroy.
After a most unwarrantable delay, the troops were sent down
to New Zealand in the North S'ar, and the attention of your
readers is requested to the fact, that had 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 freight, and because the offers 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 improbable
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, 1845. ROBERT D'OYLY.
The following is the letter referred to :
" TO lIIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE GIPPS.

" 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 nee
the difficulties of the New Zealand Government, so long as it
remains incapable of suppressing and redressing the native out-
rage and plunder of Extropeans.

" Befzre 1 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 ear,
therefore, of their having made a rush at, and emptied the
stores, would excite no surprise in my mind. If in such tilun •
der they should be resi-ted and any blood be shed, there is no
calculating what amount or lives they migh' sac dice.
" Should such a stale of circumstances occur, afier the time
when troops might have got down to New Z:-taland, 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 tact,
that Captain Fitzroy is no Lieu enant-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 Fitzroy
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.
" 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„Excelleacy'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.

' - JEWS SYNAGi,GEE.—INSTALLATION OF THE CHIEF
RABlL—Wednesday was the day fixed for the installation of the
Rev. Dr. Nathan Marcus Adler, Chief Rabbi of the united con-
gregation of Jews of Great Britain. The Synagogue in Duke's_
place, was, from half-past four, completely besieged with the ar-
rival of persons of the Jewish persuasion wishing to see the
ceremony. The open space in front was completely crowded,
and inscriptions on canvas fixed on several of the neigh-
bouring houses, such as " Welcome, Dr. Adler," &c. Dr.
Adler was, till the death of the late English Chief Rabbi,
the Chief Rabbi in Hanover, where his talents and his
amiable character had caused him to be much respected.
His loss there will be much felt. The synagogue was
crowded to - excess, all the elite of the persuasion
being present, the Rothschilds, the Montefiores, and
many others being present. At half-past five Dr. Adler arrived,
and entered the Synagogue, when the service immediately began.
The greater part of it was sung, or rather chanted. There was a
choir of about forty or fifty singers present, whose voices gave great
effect to the chant, and a sermon was afterwards preached by
the Chief Rabbi. Though not understood by us, and therefore not
appreciated, those of his hearers more gifted than ourselves, seemed
fully to appreciate those powers of eloquence with which the Rev.
Gentleman is so fully and generously gifted. After the service
another psalm was chanted by the full choir, and the congregation
then dispersed. A strange sight to us was to see the whole of the
1114?.14 congregation, as usual, wearinf their hats (twin)/ the service.
