is determined to support his ~despotism by a war with {
England, ut no distant day. He says this opinion i. {
gaining ground in both countries, and every minor !
indication, from day to day, points to this conclusion.
He says
"The first signal of the struggle may come at apv !
moment, since nothing could be palmer than that :
pretext is now all that is waited fer. The refugee !

After she has passed through the hands of two or

so long, the man who buys her for old iron will pro-

about her for weeks past, in the hope that somebody

NEW ZEALAND-With fifteen whalers in port, We
have been, for some weeks. without a RESIDENT
Magistrate. The crew of these ships are sent ashore &

by drunken natives, who on such occasions flock in

OF a corporal, one Of the best in the corps, and two j
privates. The corporal does wonders by moral sus
sion, but he is not possessed of ubiquity. Then our
lookup, a building on an unenc1osed place, about II
feet by 10 feet, has had to contain, day after day, IS
many as eighteen men waiting trial. Some woaA
wait no longer, and therefore cut a hole through the =
floor and departed in peace, and remain at lans
But we do not understand this-yiz that the corpe &
raj says he has orders not to arrest these men, t6g
being Americans, without q written order from the
U. 5. Consul These orders are from our Resider
Magistrate. Thus it would seem that Americans. il
New Zealand, are beyond the pale of British hE. =
The prisoners, having learnt this, have cut open The .
door, and marched of, clearing the place of poultry -
and such other eatables as they could lay hands On ]
Thus we have nothing here but what is in commn r'
with American sailors. All this arises from want q ia
moral force in our Resident Magistrate who, neyg
having had the confidence of the people, has always -
been looked upon as one who rules his conduct b. =.
fear or favor. We want some one here who is not
entering his second childhood. Then again in our
Customs, we have a clerk, who is fully occupied. bot
no collector or anything else. Thus Free TfGh
