      saffin affirm that habits of prudence ,- economy , moral rei strai straint , and the wisdom of appreciating in what con' sisti gists a competency , and the disposition to lire within i one' one s income , are virtues indigenous to the soil of Gue Guernsey , and rooted in the native character . Aoratiai tion outrage is wthwmt ; titers is not oh record an install sta nce of machine-breaking , rick-lnmung , or hamstringinn ] nn of cattle : all are interested ' in the preservation of ml order jor all have a property .

      IMS !! "MORAL FORCE . " We present our readers with the following specimen of Irish " mo-rol force" from the pacific columns of the Nation ; aud should much like to see our reviling IHends of " Conciliation llall" try to match it by . any of the most "physical force" diatribes of the " bloody-minded Chartists" in 1 S-33 or ' 39 . From the following the Irish will see the hopelessness of any « hange forced from England by " moral force . " We beg tlie reader not to mistake : what follows is not ours : it comes from our " pacific" "Conciliating " friend of the " Nation . : "—

      Scotland has the respect of England , because it firmly and successful ly bksisted EngiUli oppression . Ireland has the scum of England , because the Irish have groaned , and murmured , and plotted against their misrulera , butnot OKrtJu-Offiii tfcem . We won many battles from England , but never nBannockbura . Often the axe aud tlie spear of the Irishman pressed the routed foe into a narrower Pale , but never flung him from our frontier , leaving a full Irish nation to profit by victory . A year of national liberty , ESTABLISHED BY ARMS , and recognised bv

      fame , would have secured us the undying respect of England . Small as was the Scottish nation , it maintained no unequal wars with England , avenging its disasters and humiliating its foe . Iu the memory of every one of these the Scot has a friend in England now . After ( by a promotion of its djnasty ) Scotland came under a British Grown , it preserved its own will ; and whether Stuart or Cromwell , Catholic , Episcopalian , or Independent crossed that will , THE BROADSWORD AXD THE levee en woaeWERE THE PROTESTS OF SCOTLAKD .

      Another change came . Its rude and corrupt Parliament was merged iu a British legislature , aud its old dynasty was banished , and still Us te & wa was THE CLAYMORE . So longer a nation , it was a terrwU BEBEL . CnUoden could not obliterate Prestonpans . En ^ shcrodtywastovnaraft ^ TOtiawu 'snsolvestnWioin —end she has her distinct Church Establishment—a separate code of laws—an unlike administration—herflag recognised , her national literature fostered—her share of Government excessive—her name spoken with honour and caution .

      Surely here are thoughts for us to ponder . Circumstances prohibit Ireland from enforcing its rights as the Scots did ; but without tlie Scottish virtues , the moral contest uill be more ruinous than the jthjsical one . It was not ready steel—it was iron purpose and frank , yet cauti .-us , boldness which sustained the Scots , Were wc SO firm and eanies : we would not need to complain of inequality to the Commons—we would terminate it ot -ourselves . The deep contempt for Ireland , so quietly expressed by the Morning Post , is well nigh universal iu Eugiaud . A justcr knowledge of our history will mitigate this feeling ( but as nothing , save suicidal boosts , would acquit the Irish of intemperance and weakness ) , no ehronielimj of

      the past will suffice to make us respected , and till then , we shall get neither power nor justice . Even now the best path to English esteem would be through her -columns . Were the Irish to cease talking , and apply themselves diligently to the cultivation of the arts which enrich aud strengthen—were they to array themselves in silent masses under competent leaders , and , winning the gentry by unbounded conciliation , or awisg this bt confiscation , consort with England ' s enemies , DASH AT HER GARUI 30 XS , overpower hit lieutenants , and grimly £ xauOraugc-Grccu Fiagoverthe capital—England , if we may trust the Morning Post , would " admire ourdetermi-Baiion , " and even were we to league in another union with her wuuld not attempt oppression .

      Or if self-rule were won in any other way , so as to remove from Ireland the infamy of constant failure—and if a " steady self-denying character" were formed ( which neither craft could delude , nor bigotry madden , nor vanity shake , nor violence terrify ) , then , too , no matter what our after connection with England , she would respect , and fear , and be just to us ; and neither we , " nor our sous , nor our sons' sons , would have reason to complain of inequality . " Alas I poor country I Almost afraid to know itself 1

      And yet , iu tlie midst of Orange murders , police butchery , and vice-regal coercion , we find column after column directed to the extraction of more and more money from tlic pockets of the survivors , whose turn has not yet come : while a passing commentary suffices as atonement for Armagh and Balliuliassig ; These '' uioral force " butchers provoke collision , and fatten upon the spoils of victory , whoever is conqueror ' Plow the wretches beg , whilst their country bleeds at every pore ! How they gather the sinews oi war , and pipe peace with their coward lips I How flieycxciteandsuccnmb ! How thoy bully and crouch How they come to Saxon land with fire and sword , -and return like sp . wiek with their tails between the ' . r legs ! Out upon such degenerate slaves ! They are -only fit for the treatment their own subserviency provokes !

      House Of Lords, Mosday, Jolt 21. The Duk...

      HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosday , Jolt 21 . The Duke " of Richmond presented a petition from a number of officers cf the Peninsular army , praying thai sonic decoration might be appropriated to that army in consideration ef its services in Spain . The Duke of Welm . vgto . y said that a petttioa of this nature should have been presented to her Majesty , and not to Parliament . He thought the Peninsular army had no reason to complain of having been neglected . There had been medals struck in commemoration of its services ; tlie thanks of Parliament had been given to it no less than sixteen times , and various brevets had conferred upon it more substantial benefits . After some observations from the Marquis of London-DEnnv , and tlie Duke of Uicumosd in repl y , the' petition was ordered to lie on the table .

      1 BISH COLLEGES BILL . Lord Staslev moved the second reading of the Irish Colleges Hill , resorting to most of the arguments alread y Adduced in the House of Commons in support of the measure , although he freely admitted that the bill involved the priuciplB of the endowment of the Catholic religion . The Earl of SimEWsncar . opposed the bill , as lajimt the foundation of a system of godless education ; ho hoped the Government would withdraw it , for if enforced it would become a fresh source of discord , instead of tending to the amelioration of religious dissensions in Ireland . Lord Brougham eulogised the measure as one of tlic most important in its probable consequences that had ever been brought under the consideration of Parliament , and expressed his gratitude to the Government for bringing it forward .

      The Earl of Ciksarvojj opposed the bill , as not providing for the religious education of the pupils . The state should stand in loco parentis , when it established a system of education , to profit by which it was necessary that the pupils should be separated from their families . He moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months . The Marquis of Laksdownb cordially supported the measure , though he could wish to sec it in some respects improved . lord Cmffobd also supported the bill , though he hoped that in committee tlic suggestions thrown out by the Marquis of Lansdowne would be carried out . lord Beaumont atd tlie Bishop of Norwich severally supported the bill . After a few words from Lord Lyttleton , The bill was read a second time without a division . Several bills were forwarded a stage , and the house adjourned .

      Tuesday , Jtrtr 22 . Lord BnoroiuM complained of an attack reported in the Times newspaper to have been made upon him by Mr . F . French , in the course of the debate upon the cases of Mr . Bonham and Mr . Boldcro , in the House of Commons . Mr . French was said to have charged him with having suppressed exculpatory evidence in the committee on the fraudulent transactions connected with the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill , and with having held secret communications with hostile parties ; and these charges were said to be accompanied by strong personal language directed at the noblcand learned lord . Those charges were , he contended , foul , libellous , slanderous , and a gross breach of the privileges of the house . The facts were

      these . 'I he standing orders committee of the House of Commons had reported against the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill , but Mr . French had-induced the house to rescind the resolution of the committee , and to permit tho bill to be proceeded with . It afterwards appeared , said the noble lord , that Mr . French was one of tlie comp * tiy , the board of directors of which were realising considerable sums by trafficking in shares , and no doubt gratifying their patriotic feelings at the same time . An inquiry was , however , instituted upon the petition of a Mr . Fym , by a committee of their lordships , and it then appeared that of 970 applications for shares in the company only 111 had becn accompanied by references ; and inquiry having been made into 29 out of those 111 , no less than 14 were found to be fraudulent , upon which further search was abandoned , upon tho principle , he supposed , that if they

      went further they would fare worse . Ihe exculpatory evidence which be was charged with suppressing was , that of Mr . Joseph Parkes , the attorney , who , however , could only speak to the general practices of railway companies ; while the secretory to the London and York line , a witness whose examination he had sugecsted , proved that the practices on the Dublin and Galway line were perfectly the reverse of the course adopted on his own . The noble lord condemned as pliarasaical the severe course pursued towards Captain Boldero and Mr . Bonham , white such practices were tolerated as those to which he had adverted . The attack attributed to Mr . French he was bound to believe to be a gross fabrication ; for that hon . gentleman wafreported by the morning papers to haw been inaudible , and he could not conceive that the House of Commons would have passed without notice so gross a violation of privilege had it reallr occurred . The noble and learned lord coneluded by leaving the matter altogether in the hands of the house i

      . _ . _ , .-r ....-After some ohserrations of the Earl of Besbo-TO The Earl of Wicmow suggested that the printer and reporter of the Tim e * newspaper should be called to the bar ef the house . The Duke of Wellkgtos considered the case a « rare one . and moved that its further considera tion should be postponed until Thursday , which was agreed to . The Irish Colleges Bill was passed through committee . ¦ ' . i „ , i „ The remaining bills on the table were forwauied a stage , and the house adjourned .

      Thuksdav , July . 24 . Lord BBOnonASl accepted the apologies tendered him by the French , and the question of «• PrivLW' thus dropped . The Pauper Lunatics Bill occasioned some discussion , and was forwarded a stage . Several other bills were advanced , and their lordshi ps abjourned .

      House Of Commons, Mo.Vdav, Jutr 21. Scot...

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Mo . vdav , Jutr 21 . SCOTCH POOB LAW BilL . On the order of the day for the third reading of the Voor Law ( Scotland ) Bill , Mr . Duncan presented a petition from a place in Seatland , praying that the bill might be postponed till next session . Mr . A . Hastie complained of the haste with which the bill was being passed through the house . The bill had undergone many alterations in committee , and no opportunity had yet becn afforded the people of Scotland of considering these alterations . He should feel it hu duty to move that the bill as amended be printed , aud read » third time that day week . The Loan Advocate mid the measure luid already undergone very considerable discussion , and he saw no good gtound for assenting to the proposition of the hon . member .

      Mr . w aklev complained that the quantity of evidence taken before the Scotch Poor Law committee was so great , that it was impossible to wade through it . He was satisfied that the bill , as it at present stood , would never work satisfactorily for the poor in Scotland . He particularly objected to the clause by which the able-bodied poor were denied relief when out of employment . Mr . Loceuart expressed his dissent from what had becn urged by hon . gentlemen opposite , and believed it was the general opinion in Scotland that relief to tho able-bodied would degrade the character of the Scottish peasant . He could not , however , allow the bill to pass without again entering his protest against the settlement clause , which he believed would materially interfere with

      the cordial working of a measure in other respects unexceptionable . The grievance which this clause entailed on Scotland was unknown in England . The Irishman who laboured there during the whole length of his life gained no settlement ; aud in his own ceuntry he had no absolute right to relief under any circumstance ! . Yet honourable membors were combined to give him a settlement in Scotland aftir five years' residence , so that what fifty years of industry did not obtain for him on one side of the Tweed , five years of indolence might gain for him on the other . The consequence must be that Irishmen who had exhausted their strength in otlur parts of the kingdom would continue to ttock into Scotland for the mere purpose of gaining a settlement .

      Mr . 11 . Escort had one very strong objection to the bill , that it gave the parish authorities power to exempt funded property from being rated to the relief of tlie pour . That was the more olijectionable , because the learned Lord Advocate had declare Itliat it was not intended to make any alteration in the existing law . Mr . R . Yokke recommended that the bill should be postponed for a week . Mr . Henlet would not only advocate a uniform law of settlement , but would be glad to see a uniform system of Poor Laws introduced throughout the country . The Louse then divided—For the third reading ... ... 33 for tlni amendment 7 Majority for the third reading —2 C The bill was then read a third time , and passed :

      NEW ZEALAND . On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , that the house resolve itself into a committee of suppl y , Mr . C . UoLLEit brought forward his motion that " the house regarded with regret and apprehension the state of affairs in Sew Zealand , aud that those feelings were greatly aggravated by the want of any sufficient evidence of a change iu the policy which had led to such disastrous results . " He alluded to the petition which he hud presented upon this subject on the 2 ht of June last , and said that his object in addressing the house was to call its attention to the allegations of that petition , and to the events which had sines been occurring in tills country relative to the future destinies of Xew Zealand . The dailynewspapers had placed the house in full knowledge of the melancholy events which had recently taken place In that

      colony ; and they had caused much regret for its past , and still greater apprehension for its future , condition . It was impossible for hon . members to disguise from themselves that a formidable insurrection had broken out among the natives , for the purpose of getting rid of her Majesty ' s Government in New Zealand . That insurrection had been successful . The settler * had not becn taken by surprise . Due notice of the attack to be made upon them had been given . The local Government had taken every precaution to meet it , and yet all its disposable force had besn routed . The mischief would not end here . The Chief Held had absolutely given notice that his next attack would be upon the seat . if Government , at Auckland . The friendly tribes residing around Auckland had combined for its defence , but Captain Fitzroy was afraid even ' of their assistance ; for

      he felt that If he succeeded with their help , they would , to a certain degree , become his masters . Such was the state of things iu the Government settlement next to be attacked . It was stated that in Cook ' s Straits there were 12 , 000 white settlers , who had carried out with them two millions of capital , and for whose benefit the New Zealand Company had also expended £ 000 , 000 of its own funds . Kow , Ooveruor i'itzroy had carried almost all the force from Cook ' s Straits to protect Auckland , and there were only 50 soldiers left to protect the settlers there from the attacks of 8 , 000 natives , who could bring at any time iuto the field 1 , 500 armed men . He attributed all the circumstances to the policy of the Government . Lord Stanley attributed them to the engagements made by the Government wish the settlers on the one hand , aud to the treaty of V / attaugi tor the

      protection of the natives on the other . Xow , the unfortunate events in the Bay of Islands could not be attributed to any proceedings of the New Zeahund Company . All those outrages had risen from the impunity extended by Captain Fitzroy to the perpetrators of the murders in the south of New Zealand . Hero they had before them the result of their cowardly policy . From tear of irritating the natives Captain Fitzroy had placed himself and the colony completely at their mercy ; but Captain Fitzroy had recently stated to his Council , that if the colony was in a defenceless condition it was not his fault , for lie had repeatedly placed the defenceless condition of it before her Majesty ' s Government at home . The house h"d HOW before it the result of Captain Fltzroy ' s policy , and for that policy Lord Stanley was responsible . Aud what was it i A regular war had been brought on between the

      two races . All these dreadful results might have been avoided by greater firmness on the part of the Government . Now , what was the remedy proposed to be applied to thislameiitabiestate ol things ? Hecould ' liudno satisfaction in the circumstance that Captain Fitzroy was to be made the scapegoat of the Government , unless he saw the Government actively pursuing a dilierent course from that which he had pursued . But there was one tircumstance which for a time hud given hint some hopes , aud that was the proniisi-s of Sir II . Peel , given during a late debate , that a better policy should bo forthwith adopted . He believed at the time that Sir II . Peel was sincere , aud called upon the house to consider what had been tlie effect of them . He knew that there were gentlemen on the Ministerial benches who would have voted with him on the last debate if those promises had not beca

      given . A good Government was the only security for tin safety of the interests of the New Zealand Company , and of those of the colonists ; and on that subject nothing c » uld be more satisfactory than the recent language of Sir B . Peel . Ho sa ' . d that " representative government was suited for the condition of New Zealand ;" that" the best plan for governing it would be to establish municipal governments , with extensive powers of local taxation ; " and that " tho germ of representative govern , nient must be municipal institutions , widening their extent by degrees . " Something of that kind thu colony had a right to expect ; but what had it got from Lord Stanley I A declaration that a representative government was unfit for it , and an invitation for them to establish municipal corporations , giving them t ' . ie power to make by-laws , but leaving the pewcr of legislation vested in the

      . Council as at present constituted . He then proceeded to another promise given by Sir II . Peel , with regard to the settlement of the titles of land . "The Company , " he said , " was to be placed in a situation , in which it could act iu harmony with the local governmout , and become a useful instrument in promoting emigration . " San ; as to the settlcmut of the titles of land , the New Zealand Company was almost in the same position in which it was before the last debate , except that it was in a position something worse . He then entered at great length into the vexa !> i questio of the construction to be put on the agreements made between the New Zealand Company and Lord John llussell and Lord Stanley , aud contended that the New Zealand Company had been most shamefully treated by Lord Stanley , who , having conducted public business in so vague aud loose a manner , was not fit to be intrusted with the management of grout public interests . He commented at great length upon Lord Stun , ley ' s receiu speech in the House of Lords , which ho dethe of Sir 11

      scribed as a regular answer to speeches . Peel and Sir J . Graham in that house . He charged the noble Lord with having made groundless imputations on the New Zealand Company , and then showed that it was not until they had exhausted every other means of redress for the colonists , that that Company had again appealed to the house for protection . Ho asked the house whether it wraU leave New Zealand for the next six mouths without any promise of altering that policy , which had been found so prejudicial to it ? -whether die House wculd back Lord Stanley ' s speech and Lord Stanley's policy , or whether it would give some guarantee to tlie anxious relatives of those Eng lishmen who had embarked their lives and properties in New Zealand , iio did not bring forward this motion to achieve any party object . It was not a question of party , but « f a great public body coming before the house and demanding justice . TIu fortunes of such a body ought not to bo sacrificed to bolster up th « impolicy of any Mimstor . Mr . Vaiid seconded the motion . . .

      Mr . Hope , the Under Secretary for » he Colonics , « - plied » t great length to the arguments of Mr . IJuller , u - fending Lord Stanley from the charges of deceit or uiuair dealing in his correspondence with the directors ot tnt New Zealand Company . He also read extracts tro . letters , showing that public confidence had been revneu in Auckland by the arrival of troops from Sydney , a portion of which had been sent to Vellms to ...

      the title of the natives to their lauds , an ' - taking care , without exhibiting the slightest hostility towards the company , to maintain good faith with the' natives , ami from this course he would not be driven to no ' <> Pt a policy which he viewed as one of confiscation and spo . 'iation . Mr . Roebuck entered into an historical desc . ''ption of the maimer iu which the colony of New Zeal »'"• had come into our possession . We had at first obt « neu a right to it by discovery ; but w » had afterwards lo . « that right by noa user . We then acknowledged it as a n independent country , and gave it an independent a « g . The New Zealand Company then sent out settlers to the island , mid purchased lands from the chieftains of it . The -British Government then went ' thero and purchai cd I the soverei gnty of the island from ttiose chieftains , hohlingout to them that it would rcBpcct all the rights o .

      private property then existing within it . Then the New Zealand Company came forward , and according to the laws of New Zealand , which Lord Stanley said ought to be regarded , claimed of the British Government a grant of the lands which it had purchased of the native chieftains . Under such circumstances , he contended that the British Government lind no right to enter into the grounds of the contract which the New Zealand Company had formed with the natives , but was bound to ratify it at once . He looked upon the treaty of . Waitangi as a mere mockeryv The treaty was a farce , aud more than a farce , for it was a ' fraud on the civilised world , perpetrated for the purpose of keeping New Zealand out of the grasp of France . He then attacked the missionaries of New Zea . land , who , with all their piety , had always had an eye to their own interest . The influence which guided the

      Colonial-office on this question was the missionary innuenco . Lord Stanley was governed by Mr . Stephen , and Mr . Stephen was governed by the missionaries . A year had not elapsed since ' we had nearly gone to war with France for the sake of Tahiti—and why ? For the sake of the missionaries . Go where they would , thev did no good for anybody but themselves . It was within the territories of the missionaries—those men of peace—that the first insurrection against tlie Queen ' s authority ill New Zealand broke out . He did not blame either the present Government or the late Government for the calamities which had recently occurred in New Zealand , but ho blamed the system of our Colonial Government . All tho colonies should be placed under the direct control of the Administration at home , but with charters constituting popular governments within their limits . If some such

      plan were not adopted , the time of the House would be perpetually taken up by these ' colonial turmoils . After speeches from the Attorney-General and Mr . Labouchcre , Sir It . Isfitis defended the missionaries from the attack which had been made upon them by Mr . Roebuck . The animus of the New Zealand Company , as exhibited that evening by Mr . Roebuck , and on a former evening by Mr . Aglionby , was anything but favourable to thnt Company . They hud told the house , though not in express words , that the late occurrences in New Zealand had taken place cither by tho direction or by the neglect of those reverend personages . He called on the house to reflect on the condition of New Zealand before the missionaries entered it , and contrasted the conduct of John Heki after tho late battle with our settlers with that of Colonel Pelissier in Africa ,

      Mr . agmomiy complained of the gross misrepresentations of the Attorney-General , and passed a severe cen . sure on the conduct of Mr . Dandeson Coates and the missionaries in New Zealand . He also read a letter from Mr . G . Young , contradicting a statement which Mr . Hope had made on behalf of Lord Stanley in tho course of his speech relative to the exhibition of the instructions of Lord Stanley to Captain Grey to a deputation of the New Zealand Company , After a few words in explanation from Mr . Hope , the debate was adjourned . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned . Tuesday , July 22 . Mr . Ew . uw then moved for tlic repeal of the duties on the importation of butter and choose . The Cimxcku . g r of the Exchequer opposed the motion as ' being inconsistent with the financial arrangements for the year .

      Alter some observations from Mr . M . Gibson , Mr . Hume , and Mr . Cobden , Sir It . Pjskl objected to bringing forward such a motion at so late a period of the session , when all the financial arrangements ' of the year had been completed . After some discussion the motion was negatived by a majority of 130 to 38 . The other orders of tho day were then dispostd of , and the house adjourned . Wkdnesday , July 23 . Mr . Fbesch took an opportunity of adverting to the question of privilege mooted in the House of Lords , and explained the circumstances which caused

      him to attack Lord ljroughnill < 1 S JlC had ( lone respecting his conduct in the committee of the House of Lords upon the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill , lie admitted the correctness of the speech attributed to him , and of which Lord Brougham complained ; and , retracting all the personal observations contained iu it , regretted that any expressions of his should have given pain to the noble and learned lord . The CiiAXCKUon of the Exchkqukr hoped that hon . members would be more cautions in attacking members of the other house of PiirliilluCnt , acting cither in their legislative or their judicial capacity . Contrary conduct would only lower Ihe character oi the house in the estimation of the public .

      The adjourned debate on New Zealand was resumed by Captain Rous , who recommended that a middle course should bo pursued , not only with respect to past differences , but also as to the future government of tho colony . t Mr . Waiid had no wish whatever to treat the question as a party one . In fact , he regarded the question rather as a colonial than as a national one . lie pressed on Sir K . l'ool the necessity of following out his own expressed convictions , and , disregarding tho obstinacy and petulance of ' Lord Stanley , bestow on a colony comprising no less than toil thousand British settlers and one hundred thousand brave and active oborigines , tlic benefits of a government by which all questions in dispute would be satisfactorily settled . A discussion ensued , in which Mr . G , Palmer , Sir C . Napier , Lord Ingestrc , and Mr . llawcs took part .

      Sir It . Pkkl said he believed that Lord Stanley was anxious to act in the best spirit towards the New Zealand Company , so far as ho could do so consistently with his duty to the Crown and with good faith towards the natives ; and the Government were ' willing , and , indeed , determined to afford the company all the assistance in their power , giving the most liberal interpretation possible to their agreement : but they were ' also determined not to assure to the company the possession of a g . ven amount of land in certain localities without instituting a previous inquiry into the validity of their titles , and without due consideration of the claims of the naiivcs . It was rather unfortunate that' this country had abandoned its right of sovereignty by discovery , and that it had been content to obtain it by cession from the natives . But having done so , hOTTGYOr , ive were bound to maintain our obligations . He conceived that this cession gave an absolute right to the Crown over all lands to which the natives could not lav

      chum . This , m > wcvw , was wioHy dmc-rent from the course which tlic New Zealand Company called upon them to pursue—at the point of the sword if necessary . Our future policy , he contended , shauld be tlie protection and the conciliation of the natives . They should beware of imitating in New Zealand the conduct ol the French in Algeria . Between Lord Stan-Icy ami himself there was the most perfect identity of opinion ; they were both equally desirous of promoting the future prosperity of the colony ; and lie could not sanction the idea that there was ativ difference between himself and tlie noble lord , who , ' with so much industry and unexampled ability , filled the office of Colonial Secretary . After some observations from Mr . Rokduck

      , Lord J . Russei . i , said there was nothing to induce them to suppose that there would be any change in the policy which had already produced such melancholy results , and from which more disastrous results still were impending . Lord Stanley appeared ; to think chat nothing could be right , miloss it were directly opposed to the company , with which he appeared to think he was bound to have a lasting controversy . The Government- had done nothing since 1 S 11 to promote the prosperity of this important Colour . Wll ' lll" inillllirimr in irlmi-innr nnnur . ! . nn - £ iiu i uii

      . . .. .. ........ ... ... „ ... „ . „ ' ...-g , n , the advantages ot representative Government , the letters of Lord Stanley were equivalent to a declaration that for a century to come New Zealand would net be in a fit state to receive the blessing . In fact , the state of tilings in New Zealand was calculated to destroy all confidence in the minds of the emigrants who would direct their enterprise and capital in Australia . They were pursuing a course , in order to gratify the pride and obstinacy of Lord Stanlcv , calculated to endanger the prosperity , if not the " security , ot the colony .

      Ihe house uivided on Mr . C . Buller ' s motion , which was defeated by a majority of 155 to SO . The other orders of the day were than disposed of , and tlie house adjourned .

      NORTHERN CIRCUIT . York , July IS . —Infamous Chime . —Jonas Brown was charged with , on the J Oth of'AIareli , at Wilsden , in the West Riding , of having feloniously assaulted Susannah Nicholson . The peculiarity of this ease , respecting which great interest had been excited here , was that the unfortunate girl liad been , at the time of her dishonour , wooed by a respectable young man , who had since married her , and was now one of tiie witnesses upon the back of the indictment . Mr . Grainger stated the caso at great length for the prosecation , with whom was Mr . Johnstone and Mr . Ovewnd . The case was proved , but the particulars are unfit for publication . The learned judaic said , if ever taerer was a caso which could give him an v regret that the- penalty of the law had ' in such ease been lesseiiediit was in this instance . A more heartless , cruel eaae- Jle had never witnessed . The sentence was that aie prisoner be transported for ti >* term oi his naturalilile .

      OXFOffi © CIRCUIT . Worcester J ! hi . y I »& . —Bo » iAnv . —John Harris , 50 , James Weod ,. 2 S ; audi JosejJi Bingham , Sv > , were indicted for having , on the nigh * of the 4 th Ifccember last , at the- parish of Abterley , burglanbusly broken and entered the- dwelling-house of Sarah Poundley , and stolen altsgother JE 22 from it . The prosecutrix , a respectable T » oman between CO an * 7 , 0 years of age , and Jiving »] ene a * a cottage near the Hundied-house at the parish ; ok' AMicrlcy , bad according to her custom , retired' to feed about eight p . m . on the evening of the -jith , of December lasfJ r having previously bolted the enter door and securest the windows . Between eleven ami twelve the sain * night she heard some men in her houseand cried

      , out " John , " in order , as she said , to frighten them . Two men canto in , to whom she positively swore as being the prisoners nt the bar , Bingham and Wood , and Bingham said , " I am John , and I am come . " the prosecutrix , who during all this scene , and a trying one it would have been to roanv men , never once displayed fear , said to Bingham , " "Well , my dear , what do you want here ? " " Your bodv , " was the startling reply . " What do you wantofmv ' bodv ?" naturally inquired the prosecutrix . "The doctor wants you . " " What does he want of mc ? " "You are a notorious bad woman , " said Bingham , " and the b ' g doctor « f Wolverhampton has offered £ 50 for your body ; if money wc can't have , then vonr bodv wemust . " The prosecutrix onlv answered . "Give

      mc time to pray to Heaven for my soul and for you , too . " " Pray away , " replied Bingham ; and then he asked whether she had any money ; receiving an affirmative answer , he inquired where it was , and when the prosecutrix told him , Wood plundered her of all he could find , that is , £ 8 in silver and £ Vi in gold . All the while they were in the prosecutrix ' s bed-room they had a lighted candle with them . . They also took a purse from her house . The prosecutrix was positive as to the identity of the prisoners . The learned Judge asked her whether she was not at all alarmed even when ( as they actually did ) thev threatened to strangle her with a rope thev had with them ? Prosecutrix replied , with great simplicity and feeling , "No , I was not

      afraid to die , as God is my protector . " Just after thcy left , the prosecutrix heard the clock strike twelve . The next morning she went down stairs ami found all in confusion , the window taken clean out , and the door unbolted from the inside . She also found on the floor of the kitchen a cap , and a short iron bar in the scullery . She afterwards had the two prisoners taken to her after their apprehension , that she might say if she knew them , which she at once did , recognising them both by their features and their voices , and , as she expressed it , " Igave God the glory when lhey were brought before me . " Though the manner in which the prosecutrix gave her evidence created a general feeling in Iter favour , yet the extreme simplicity with which she detailed her

      conversation with the prisoners on the night of the burglary was irresistibly amusing , and was the cause of great laughter in court . The principal and most eonelusive evidence against the prisoners , for the prose Clltrix could say nothing against John Harris , was given by a man named Jones , who certainly did not bear the best of characters himself , having been twice tried , once indeed , acquitted , but on the second occasion sentenced to transportation . This man stated that on Sunday , the 1 st of December , Harris fetched him to the bcershop of Mrs . Maria Cartwright , where he found the other two prisoners . They sat together and had some beer . Harris proposed to him to go and do a robbery with them , to which lie asscntcd ; thoy showed him a box of matches , a candle , a rope about three yards long , and a razor . Harris said that it was the house of an old lady they intended robbing , which was at the back of the

      Hundredhouse . It was agreed , that proceeding two together , but by different routes , they were all four to meet at six on the following Tuesday evening in a publichouse called the Black Star , at Stourport ; that Harris and the witness were to take nails with them , and the other two a shovel . Tho witness , however , afterwards , cither through fear or repentance , refused to go with them , and tr-ld Bingham so when lie saw him on the morning of the proposed bnnrlary . The witness never heard of the robbery until the March following , when he was sent for by the police , not to be taken into custod y , but to give an account of conversation with the prisoners . In many points the evidence of Jones was corroborated . The jury found the prisoners guilty . Witnesses were called " , who gave the prisoners a good character . Lord Denman sentenced the prisoners to transportation for fifteen years .

      HOME CIRCUIT . Maidstonk , Jew 22 . —Cutting . ind Woundino .-Jamcs Austin , 25 , a marine , was indicted for feloniously cnttim ? and wounding Edward Cflrtwrfclif Mitldleton , with intent to maim and disable him ; and in another count of the indictment his intent was said to bo to prevent his lawful apprehension for the offence of burglary . It appeared' from the evidence that on the morning of the 30 th " May , between one and two o ' clock , a person named Staples , who keeps an oil-shop in the High-street , Chatham , wtb alarmed by a noise in the street , and he awoke hi * shopman , the prosecutor Mitldleton , and told him to go down and sec what was the matter . He did so and on opening the street door carefully , he observed the prisoner standing outside tlie shop of Mr . llaylcr ,

      a watchmaker , opposite , and apparently working with some tool at the shutter . Having watched him long enough to be perfectly satisfied of his object , he went over and laid hold of the prisoner , who made a violent resistance , and , finding he could not getaway , he at length struck Mitldleton several blows on the head with a chisel , and wounded him in several places . He , however , kept him until a constable came up , and the prisoner was then lodged in the station-house . Upon the premises of Mr . llaylcr being afterwards examined it was found that a piece of wood . had been completel y cut out of oncof the shutters , making a hole large enough to admit a hand , near the part of the shop front where a tray of gold

      watches wis generally kept , and a chisel , which , no doubt , was the tool that had becn made use of , and with which the prosecutor had also becn wounded , was found lying upon the pavement close to the spot . A surgeon who examined the prosecutor described the injuries he received as being very severe , and said th-it he considered one cut , behind the car , at first , of a dangerous character . The jury found the prisoner Guilty of wounding the prosecutor , with intent to prevent his lawful apprehension . An o'ticer was then called , who proved that he had been before convicted of felony . Mr . Justice Coleridge having commented in appropriate terms upon the aggravated character of the offence , sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen years .
