MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. _

Messengers from the House of Lords brought up several Bills.
COMMONS INCLOSURE AND DRAINAGE OF

LANDS BILLS.
The Earl of LINCOLN said that as the adjourned debate
would no doubt occupy the greater part of the night, he
would suggest that the second reading of then two Bills be now
taken without discussion, and that any of its principles might
be taken into consideration at the bringing up of the report.
The Bills were then severally read a second time, and
ordered to be committed on Thursday next.
COLLEGES (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN would ask a question of the Right
Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary for the Home Department: as
it was not likely that the House could go into Committee on
the Collegiate Education Bill that night, what other day he
could name?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM replied, that he would fix next
Monday for going into Committee on the Bill.
SCOTCH POOR-LAW.

In answer to a question from Mr. FOX RI AULE,
Sir J. GRAHAM said that, in the absence of the Lord Ad-
vocate, he could not say whether it would be possible to pro-
ceed with the Poor-law Bill for Scotland on Monday next.
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

of New Zealand. Application was made to the Crown for
protection to that undertaking. He subscribed

Beyond this he had interfered no further. And here let him
say that he was indebted to the present Company for the re-
payment 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.) Ile
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 irksome 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
