TEE SUBMISSION OF MAORIES IN NEW ZEALAND.  The Gazette publishes despatches from Lieutenant General Sir D. Cameron, containing an account of the interview with the hostile natives at Tauranga, which resulted in their submitting unconditionally to the Queen's authority by placin,, all their lands at the disposal of Sir G. Grey, the Governor of New Zealand, Sir D. Cameron expressing a hope that the liberal terms conceded will induce othet tribes to make their • submission. ,  Sir G. Grey, in his address to the hostile natives said :—" I shall order that. settlements at once be assigned to you as far as possible in such localities as you may select, which shall be secured by Crown grants to yourselves and your children. As it is right in sore measure to mark our sense of the honourable manner in which you conducted hostilities, neither robbing nor murdering, but respecting the wounded, I promise you that in the ultimate settlement of your lands, the amount taken shall not exceed one-fourth of the whole land. And in order that you may without delay again be placed in a position which will enable you to maintain yourselves as soon as your future vocation has been decided, seed potatoes and the means of settling on your lands will be given you."  Addressing next the friendly natives, Sir G. Grey promised they should be rewarded for their fidelity.  The Unitci Italiana of Milan lvas been seized for publishing Mazzini's letter to the Italians. The ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany has entered a solemn protest against his capital becoming that of Victor Emmanuel. The protest is founded on the provisions of the Treaty of Zurich.  The Independante of Brussels states that the bank of the gaming house at Spa recently had an extraordinary vein of ill luck. One of the most successful players was the Hungarian General Klapka. He had announced his intention to play only an hour and a quarter, and at the expiration of that time he rose a winner of 57,000 f. The General left Spa the following day for France. A communication from Turin, of the 19th. in the Debats, mentions a rumour current relative to Prince Humbert. The report is that the hereditary prince is to be married to an Austrian princess, who would bring as her wedding portion neither more nor less than Venetia. This would certainly be a very unexpected solution of a question which for the last five years has kept Europe in alarm.  The Neu: York Times discussing the proposed Confederation says :--‘, It is not a matter of minor interest to call to mind what this great section of British America is to-day in its industrial aspect. It holds a community of 3,800,000 souls, of whom 700,000 are males between the ages of 20 and 60—more than half-a-million being of the ordinary military age. At its present rate of improvement; in five years it will outnumber in population Belgium and Bavaria, and in ten years Sweden and Norway. Of its lands over 45,000,000 acres are in private hands, and over 13,000,000 are cultivated. Four years ago the annual products of its fields and gardens were valued at 150,000,000 dols., and the assessed value of its farms was 560,000,000 dols. Eastern British America as a Maritime State, already holds high rank. Its sailors and fishermen number to.day over 70,000. In 1863 it built 628 vessels of an aggregate tonnage of 230,312 tons. It exported 15,000,000 dols, worth of timber, and 10,000,000 dols. worth of fish, and its total exports are over 65,000,000 dols. annually. Such is the community to which in its political organization it is proposed to apply the Federal system of Government under new conditions. The experiment must be watched with interest. That its logical result ultimately is separation from the parent State every one must see, and yet nine-tenths of those whe:ic votes will finally settle the question, cherish an indistinct notion that a Confederation on the plan proposed is not incompatible with the colonial relationship. The delusion is one which a few years' practical experience will effectually uproot. English statesmen see the matter in a more common-sense light. And it is this question of ultimately cutting loose from the monarchical system that will be found to be the great source of sectional division and strife. The purest monarchists in this hemisphere to-day arc the descendants of the French noblesse of Lower Canada. All their traditions go back bsyond the Imperial and revolutionary era. The edicts of the Kings of France are their law, the customs of the monarchical era are still their rule ; and from these it will be an almost hopeless task to undertake to weau thew by any specioue premien of iu. dependence."
