Irish "Moral Force." "Ws Present Our Rea...
IRISH "MORAL FORCE . " "Ws present our readers with the following specimen of Irish " moral force" from thc pacific columns of the Nation ; and should much like to see our reviling friends of " Conciliation Hall" try to match it by any of the most " physical force" diatribes of thc "Moody-minded Chartists" in 1 S 3 S or ' 39 . From the following the Irish will see the hopelessness of any change forced from England by " moral forse . " We beg the reader not to mistake : what follows is not ours : it comes from our "pacific" "Conciliating " fiiend of thc "Nation : "—
Scotland has the respect of England , became it firmly and _sticcesifuUy _besistbd English oppression . Ireland has the scorn of England , because the Irish hare groaned , and murmured , and plotted against their niisrulsr 3 , but not overthrown them . Vfe won many battles from Eugland , _liataevtra _Unnnockbarn . Often th-. * axe and thespt-ar ofthe Irishman pressed tlic routed foe into a narrower Pale , but never _flnng him from our frontier , leaving a full Irish nation lo profit "by victory . A year of naiional liberty , ESTABLISHED BY AllSIS , and recojjnised by
fame , would have secured us the undying respect of England . Small as _tva-t the Scottish nation , it maintained no unequal wars nith England , avenging its _disasters and humiliating its foe . Iu the memory of every oue of these the Scot has a friend in England now . After ( by a promotion of its dyi—sty ) Scotland came under a _ rit _ li Crown , it preserved its own -ivill ; and whether Stuart or Ciomwell , Catholic , Episcopalian , or Independent crossed that will , TIIE _ KOADSWOKD AXD TIIE levee en mass WEIIE THE _I'BOTESTS OF SCOTLAND .
Another chauge came . Its rude and corrupt Parliament was merged iu a British legislature , and its old dynasty was banuhed , _ontt still its _resourc * was TIIE CLAYMOUE . Xo longer a nation , it was a terrible HESEL . Oullodeu could not obliterate _Prestoup—is . _ ngl _ li cruelty was transient—Sootland ' _sresolvcstubborn —and she has her distinet Church Establishment—a separata code of laws—auuulikeadministration—her dag recognised , her national literature fostwed—her share of Government excessive—her name spoken with houonr and caution .
Surely here are thoughts for us to ponder . Circumstances prohibit Ireland from enforcing its rights as the Scots did ; but without the Scottish virtues , thc moral contest n _ l be more ruinous than the phvsical one . It was not ready steel—it was iron purpose and frank , yet cautious , boldness which sustained the Scots . Were we so firm aud caracs : we would not need to complain of inequality to the Commons—we would terminate it of Ourselves . The deep contempt for Ireland , so quietly expressed by the Morning Post , is well nigh unircraal in England . A jnster knowledge of our history will mitigate this feeling ( but __; _uothui- * , save suicidal boasts , would acquit the Irish of iutemperauce and weakness ) , no chronicling 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 whicli enrich aud strengthen—were tliey to array themselves in silent masses uuder competent leaders , and , winning the gentry by unbounded conciliation , or awixc Tni _ bt _cosr-MSCATios , consort with England ' s _enuniies , DASH AT HElt GAlllUSOXS , ocei _* pM « r 7 „ * lieuf « ia » ils , and grimly fisan Orange-Green Flagovcr the capital—England , if we may trust the Morning Post , would " admire our determisation _, " aud even were we to league in another union _-oith her would not attempt oppression .
Or if self-rule wcre won in any other way , so as to remove from Ireland the infamy of constant failure—and if _ " 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 onr after connection with England , she would respect , and fear , and be just to us ; and neither we , " nor our sons , nor our sons" sons , woald have reason to complain of inequality . *"" 1 . Alas ! poor country ! Almost afraid to know itself 1
And yet , in thc midst of Orange murders , police butchery , nnd vice-regal coercion , we find column after column directed to the extraction of more caul more money from the pockets of the survivors , whose turn has not yet come : while a passing commentary suffices as atonement for Armagh and Ballmhassig ! These " moral force " batchers protokb collision , and fatten upon the spoils of victory , whoever is conquer or ! How the wretches beg , whilst their country bleeds at every pore I How they gather the sinews of war , and pipe peace with tlieir coward lips ! How they excite and succumb ! IIow they bully and crouch ! Sow they conic to Saxon land with fire and sword , and return like spaniels with their tails between their legs ! Out upon such , degenerate slaves ! They are only fit for the treatment their own subserviency provokes !

HOUSE OF LORDS Moxdat , _Jsxt 21 . The Duke of Ricn-o _ o presented a petition from a number of officers of the Peninsular army , praying that some decoration might be appropriated to that army in consideration of its serrices in Spain . The Duke of _IVeliisoto ! . said that a petition 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 ; the thanks of Parliament had been given to it no less than sixteen tunes , and various brevets had conferred upon it more substantial benefits . After some observations from the Marquis of _LosnoNDE 2 BT , mid die Duke of Richmond in reply , the petition was ordered to lie on the table .
_ICISH COLLEGES BILL , Lord St _&* si _ y moved the second reading of the Irish Colleges Bill , resorting to most of the arguments already adduced in th * House of Commons in support of the measure , although he freely admitted that the bill involved the _principle of the endowment of the Catholic religion . Thc Earl of Shrewsmi-v . opposed the bill , as laying thc foundation of a system of godless education ; he 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 the most important in its probable consequences that had ever been brought under the consideration of Parliament , and expressed his gratitude to the G ovcrnment for bringing it forward .
The Earl of _Cassabvon * opposed the bill , as not providing for tbe 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 tlte pupils should be separated from tlieir families . He moved tliat the bill be read a second time that day six mouths . The Marquis of Lassdowne cordially supported the measure , t ' y . ough he could wish to see it iu some respects improved . Lord Clifford also supported the bill , though he hoped that in committee the suggestions' thrown out by the Marquis of Lansdowne would be carried out . Lord Beaumont and thc Bishop of Xorivicb severally supported the bill . After a few words from Lord JLyttleton , The bill was read a second time without a division . Several bills were forwarded a stage , and the houso adjourned .
Tobsday , Jinx 23 . Lord Brougham complained of an attack reported in the Times newspaper to have been made upon him by Mr . _ . Freneli , in the course of the debate upon the cases of Mr . Bonham and Mr . Boldero , in the House of Commons . Sir . French was said to have charged him with having suppressed exculpatory evidence in the committee on the fraudulent transactions connected with thc Dublin and Galway Railway Bill , and with having held secret communications with hostile parties ; and thise charges were said to be accompanied by strong personal language directed at the nobleand learned lord . Those charges wcre , he contended , foul , libellous , slanderous , and a gross breach of the privileges of the _housa . Tho facta were
these . The standing orders committee of the House of Commons had reported against the Dublin and Galway RaUway BiU , but Mr . French had induced thc house to rescind thc resolution of the committee , and to permit thc bill to be proceeded with . It afterwards appeared , said thc noble lord , that Mr . French was one of the company , the hoard of directors of which werc realising considerable sums by trafficking in ** h . _* ires , aud no doubt gratifying their patriotic feelings at the same time . An inquiry was , however , instituted upon thc 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 been accompanied by references ; and inquiry having been made into 29 out of those 111 , no Jess than 14 were found to be fraudulent , upon which further seorch * _was abandoned , upon the principle , he supposed , that if they went further they would fare worse . The
exculpatory evidence which he was charged with suppressing was , that of Mr . Joseph Parkes , thc attorney , who , however , could only speak to thc general practices of railway companies ; while the secretary to the London and York line , a witness whose osamination he had suggested , proTed that the practices on the Dublin and Galway line werc nerfectly the reverse of the course adopted on his own . The noble lord condemned ns pLarasaicnl the severe _com-se pursued towards _Cantaiu Boldero and . Mr . . Bonham . while such practices wcre tolerated as those to winch he had adverted . Thc attack attributed to Mr . French hewas bound to believe to be a gro ss fabrication ; for that hon . gentleman was reported by the morning papers to havo been inaudible , and hc could not conceive that the llouse of Commons would have passed without notice so gross a violation of privilege had it _reallv occurred . The noble and learned lord concluded by leaving the matter altogether ut the hands of thehouse
. _ . „ _ , After some observations of thc Earl of _-csboroil **!) The Earl of Wicklow suggested that the printer and reporter of thc Times newspaper should be called to thc bar of the liouse . , , Thc Duke of Weixisc tos considered thc case a grave one , and moved that it s further consideration should be postponed unt ' ii Thur sday , wliic . i was agreed to . , " The Irish _Colle-res Bill was passed througu

HOUSE OF _COMMONS , Maxnir , July 21 . SCOTCH POOR IAW BILL . On the order of the day for the third reading of the Poor Law ( Scotland ) Bill , Ilr . Dkscas presented a petition from a place in Scotlaud , praying that the bill might be postponed till next session . Jlr . A . _Hastie complained of the haste with which the bill was being passed through the house . Thc bill had undergone many _alterations in committee , and no _opportunity had yet been afforded the people of Scotland of considering tliese alteration * , lie should feel it his iluty to more that the bill as amended be printed , aud read a third time that day week . The _Loun Advocate said the measure had already undergone very considerable discussion , and he saw no good ground for assenting to the proposition of tho lion _, member .
Mr . Vi ' AKLEr complained that the quantity of evidence taken before the Scotch Poor Law committee was so great , that it was _impossible to wade through it . lie 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 Ly ivhieh the able , bodied poor were denied relief when out of employment . Jlr . Loceuasx expressed his dissent from what ll _—been urged by hon . gentlemen opposite , aud believed it was the general opinion in Scotland that relief to the 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 wliich this clause ontaUed on Scotland was unknown in England . The Irishman who laboured there during tho whole length of his life gained uo settlement ; aud in his own _csuntry he had no absolute right to relief under any circumstances . Yet honourable members were combined to give him a settlement in Scotland after five years '' residence , so that what fifty years of industry did not obtain for hiin on one side of the Tweed , live years ofindoleuce might gain I ' or him on the other . The consequence must be that Irishmen who had exhausted their strength in other parts of thc kingdom would continue to Hock into Scotland for the mere purpose of gaining a settlement .
Mr . 15 . Escott had one very strong objection to the bill , that it gave the parish authorities power to exempt funded property from beiiij rated to the relief of the poor . That was the more objectionable , because thc learned Lord Advocate had declare J that it was not intended to make any alteration in the existing law . Mr . R . Yobec recommended tbat the bill should be postponed for a week . Mr . Henley would not only advocate a uniform law of settlement , but would be glad to see a uniform system of Poor Laws introduced throughout tho country . Thc liouse theu divided—For the third reading 33 Forth * amendment 7 Majority for the third reading —' 26 The bill was then read a third time , and passed :
KEW ZEALAND . On tho motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , that the house resolve itself iuto a committee of supply , Mr . C . Bolleb brought forward his motion that " the house regarded with regret and apprehension the state of affairs in New Zealand , and that those feelings wore greatly aggravated by the want of any sufficient evidence of a change in the policy which had led to such disastrous results . " He alluded to the petition which he had presented upon this _subject on the 21 st of Juno last , and said thathis object in addressing the house was to call its attention to the allegations of that petition , and to the events which had sine * been occurring in this country relative to the future destinies of Xew Zealand . The daily newspapers had placed the liouse in full knowledge of the melancholy events which had recently taken place in that
colony ; aud they had caused much regret for its past , aud 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 thc natives , for the purpose of getting rid of her Majesty ' s Government in New Zealand . That insurrection had been successful . The settler * had not been 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 forco had bean routed . The mischief would not end hero . The Chief Held had absolutely given notice that his next attack would be upon the scat of Government , at Auckland . The friendly tribes residing around Auckland had combined for its defence , but Captain Fitzroy was afraid even _of their assistance ; for
lie felt that if lie succeeded with their help , they would , to a certain degree , become his masters . Such was the state of things in the Government _settlement next to be attacked . It was stated that in Cook's Straits there wcre 12 , 000 white settler ? , who had earned out with them two millions of capital , and for whose benefit the New Zealand Company had also expended £ 000 , 000 of its own funds . Now , Governor fitzroy had carried almost all the force from Cook ' s Straits to protect Auckland , and there wero only SO soldiers left to protect thc settlers there from tho attacks of 8 , 000 natives , who could bring at any time into the field 1 , 500 armed men . He attributed all tbe circumstances to the policy ofthe Government . Lord Stanley attributed them to the engagements made by the Government with the settlers ou the one hand , aud to the treaty of _Waitangi for thc
protection ofthe natives on tho other . Now , the unfortunate events in the Bay of Islands cauld not beattributed to any proceedings ofthe New Zcalamd Company . All those outrages had risen from the impunity extended by Captain Fitzroy to the perpetrators ofthe _muidei-s in the south of New Zealand . Hero they had before tliem the result of their cowardly policy . From fear of irritating the natives Captain Fitzroy had placed himself aud the coloBy completely at their mercy ; but Captain Fitzroy had recently stated to bis Council , that if thc colony was in a defenceless condition it was not his fault , for he had repeatedly placed the defenceless condition of it before her Majesty ' s Government at home . The house _hi ' d now before it the result of Captain Fitzroy's policy , and for that policy Lord Stanley was responsible . And what was it _«? 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 this lamentable state of things ? He could find no satisfaction iu the circumstance that Captain Fitzroy was to he made the scapegoat ofthe Government , unless he saw the Government actively _pursaing a dift ' orent course from that which he had pursued . But tliere was onc circumstance which for a time had given him some hopes , and that was thc promises of Sir lt . Peel , given during a late debate , that a batter policy should be forthwith adopted . He believed at the time that Sir 11 . Peel was sincere , and called upon the liouse to consider what had been the effect of tliem . He knew that there wcre gentlemen on the Ministerial benches who would have voted with him on the last debate if those promises had not been
given . A good Government was the only security for the safety of the interests of the New Zealand Company aud of those of tho colonists ; and on that subject nothing c _* uld be more satisfactory than the recent lauguage of Sir It . Peel . He said that " representative government was suited for the condition of New Zealand ;" that" the best plan for governing it would be to establish municipal governments , witli extensive powers of local taxation ; " and that " the germ of representative government must be municipal institutions , widening their extent by degrees . " Something of that kind the colony had a right to expect ; but what had it got from Lord Stanley ? A declaration that a representative government was unfit for it , and an invitation for them to establish municipal corporations , giving them tfie power to make by-laws , but leaving the power of legislation vested in thc
Council as at present , constituted . He then proceeded to another promise given by Sir lt . 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 in harmony with the local government , aud becoiuo a useful iustrument in promoting emigration . " Now , as to the _settlemet 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 vexata questio ot the construction to be put on the agreements made between the New Zealand Company and Lord John Russell 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 and loose a manner , was not fit to be intrusted with the management of great public interests . He commented at great length upon Lord
Stanlev ' s recent , speech in the House of Lords , which ho described as a regular answer to the spoechos of Sir It . Peel and Sir J . Graham iu that house . Ho charged the noble Lord with having made groundless imputatioas on the New Zealand Company , and then showed that it was not until they had exhausted every other means or redress for the _colonists , that that Company had again appealed to the house for protection . Ho asked the liouse whether it _wsuld leave Nov Zealand for the next six months without any promis _* . of altering that polic } , whieh had been found so prejudicial to it !_ whethcr tlio House would back Lord Stanley ' s speech and Lord Stanley ' s policy , or whether it would give some guarantee to Hie anxious relatives of those Eng lishmen who nail embarked tlieir lives and properties in New Zealand . ac did not _liring forward this motion to achieve any pai ij object . It was not a question of party , but of _^ a grca public body coming before the house and _demaiiuing justice . Tin fortunes of such a body ought not to be
sacrificed to bolster up tlw impolicy of any Minister . Mr . Wabd seconded the motion . Jlr . _lioi-E , the Under Secretary for the Colonics , replied at great _lem-tli to the arguments of Mr . I *'* " 101 > ' fending Lord Stanley fron . _« w charges of deceit or u . n . ' dealing in his correr-p-maei . ee with the directors of lilt Now Zealand Company .

ni Auckland b y the arrival of troops from Sydney , a pornon o which had bee ,, Se „ t to Wellington . He believed , iron , the intelligence recently received , tint there was no probabiity ofa combination of the native tribes against _tliDDettlm . _LordStaniej _wasdoinglittlebeyondiollow-¦ . goutthe policy of L 01 d JoIm KuiIeU _» mogllis _* , the title of the natives to tlieir lands , aiid taking cant without exliibiuuj . the slightest hostility towards the company , to maintain good faith with the natives , and from this course he would not be driven to adopt a policy which he viewed as one of confiscation and spoliation * ilr . llutsscK entered into an historical description of tbe maimer m wi , idl tuc „ _,, of ~ - _^ . _^ , cone into our possession . Wc had at first obtained a right to it Ly _discover * but > ve had afterwards lost that right by noii user . We then acknowledged it as an
independent country , and gave it an independent flag . The New Zealand Company then sent out settlers to _tl _» island , and purchased lands _fromniie chieftains of it , Tholiritish Government tlitn went tliere and purchased the sovereignty of the island from those chieftains , holding out to them that it would respect all the rights of private property theu existing within it . Then the New Zealand Company came forward , and according to the laws of Kew Zealand , which Lord Stanley said ought to be regarded , claimed of the British Government a grant of the lands wliich it had purchased of tlw native chieftains . Under such circumstances , he contended that the "British Government had no right to enter into the grounds of Hie contract whieh the New Zealand Coamanv had formed with the natives , but was bound to ratify it at once . He looked upon the treaty of Waitangi as a mere mockery . The treaty was a farce , and more than a farce , tor it was a fraud on the civilised world , perpetrated for the purpose of keeping New Zealand out of the grasp of * ranee . He then attacked the missionaries of New
Zealand , who , with all their piety , had always had an eye to their own interest . The influence which guided the _Coloniiil-oflice on this question was the missionary influ . ence . Lord Stanley was governed by Jlr . Stephen , and Mr . Stephen was governed by the missionaries . A year had not elapsed since wo had nearly gone to war with France for the sake of Tahiti—and wh y ? For the sake ofthe missionaries . Go where they would , they did no good for anybody but themselves . It was within thc _teiritories of the missionaries—those men of peace—that the first insurrection against the Queen ' s authority in 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 Zaaland , but he blamed the system of our Colonial Government . All the colonies should be placed under the direct control of the Administration at home , but with charters constituting popular government :- within their limits . If some such plan wcre not adopted , the time of the House would be perpetually taken up by tliese colonial turmoils .
After speeches from thc Attorney-General and Jlr . Laboueherc , Sir lt . _IngiJis defended the missionaries from the attack which had been made upou them by Mr . Koebuek . Thc animus of tho New Zealand Company , as exhibited that evening by Mr . Roebuck , and on a former evening by Mr . _Aglionby , was anything but favourable to that Company . Tlicy had 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 houso to reflect on thc 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 . Agliondy complained of the gross misrepresentations ofthe Attorney-General , and passed a severe censure on thc conduct of Mr . Haudeson Coates and the missionaries in New Zealand . He also read a letter from Mr . 6 . Young , contradicting a statement which Ilr . Hope had made on behalf of Lord Stanley in the course of his speech relative to thc exhibition of the instructions of Lord Stanley to Captain Grey to a deputation ofthe New Zealand Company , After a few words in explanation from Mr . nope , the debate was ' adjourned . The other orders of the day wcre then disposed of , and the house adjourned . Tubsday , July 22 . Mr . Ewart then moved i ' or the repeal ofthe duties on tho importation of butter and ciieese . The Ciiaxcellgr of tlio Exchequer opposed the motion as being inconsistent witli the financial arrangements for tho year .
After some observations from Mr . M . Gibson , Mr . Hume , and Mr . Cobden , Sir It . Peel objected to bringing forward such a motion at so late a period of thc session , when all thc financial arrangements , of thc year had been completed . After some discussion the motion was negatived by a majority of 136 to 38 . The other orders of tiie day wcre then disposed of , and the liouse adjourned . _Wedxesday , July 23 . Mr . French took an opportunity of adverting to thc question of privilege mooted in the llouse of Lords , and explained thc _citcumstanceswhicli caused
him to attack Lord Brougham ns hc had done respecting his conduct in the committee of the House of Lords upon thc Dublin and Galway Railway Bill . He admitted the correctness ot the speech attributed to him , and of which Lord Brougham complained ; and , retracting all the personal observations contained in it , regretted that any expressions of his should have given pain ' to the noble and learned lord . The CnA . vcELi . on of the Exchequer hoped that hon . members would be more cautious in attacking members of the other house of Parliament , acting either in their legislative or their judicial capacity . Contrary conduct would only lower the character ot the houso in the estimation of thc public .
Thc adjourned debate oil Kew ' Zealand was resumed by Captain Rous , who recommended that a middle course sliould be pursued , not only with respect to past differences , out also as to the future government of thc colony . Mr . Ward had no wish whatever to treat the question as a party ono . In fact , hc regarded the question rather as a colonial than ns a national onc . He pressed on Sir 11 . Peel the necessity of following out his own expressed convictions , and , disregarding the obstinacy and pctulaueo of Lord Stanley , bestow ou a colony comprising no less than ten thousand British settlers and onc hundred thousand brave and active ooorigincS _j _. 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 _Ingestic , and Mr . Ilawcstookpart . Sir it . Pkei , said hc believed that Lord Stanley was anxious to act in the best spirit towards the New Zealand Company , so far as he could do so consistently with his duty tothe 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 mos l liberal interpretation possible to their ngrcement : but tliey were also determined'not to assure to tlic company the possession of a given amount of land iu certain localities witliout instituting a previous inquiry into the validity of their titles , and without due consideration of the claims ofthe _nalives . Itwas 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 thc
natives . But having done so , however , we were bound to maintain our obligations . He conceived that this cession gave an absolute right to thc Crown over all lands to which the natives could not lay claim . This , however , was wholly different from the course which the New Zealand Company called upon them to puraue—at the point of the sword if necessary . Our future policy , he contended , should be the protection and the conciliation of the natives . Tlicy should beware of iniit-nting in New Zealand the conduct ol the French in Algeria . Between Lord Stan-Icy and himself there was tho most perfect identity of opinion ; they were both equally desirous of promoting the future prosperity of the colony ; and he could not sanction thc idea that there was any difference between himself and the noble lord , who , with so much industry and unexampled ability , filled the office of Colonial Secretary . After some observations from Mr . Roebuck ,
Lord J . IIusseu . said there was nothing to induce them to suppose that there would he any change in the policy wliich liad already produced such melancholy results , and from which move disastrous results still were impending . Lord Stanley appeared * to think that nothing could be right , unless it were directly opposed to the company , with which he appeared to think hc was bound ' to have a lasting controversy . The Government had done nothing since 1841 to promote tlio prosperity of this important colony . While indulging in glowing panegyric on
the advantages of 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 tit state to receive the blessing . In fact , the state of things 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 Lerd Stanley , calculated to endanger the prosperity , if not the security , of the colony .
Ihe house divided on Mr . C . Buller ' s motion , whieh was defeated by a majority oi 155 to S 9 . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , ami the house adjourned . Thursday , July 24 . Tha Coal Trade ( Port of London ) Hill was read a third time . Tiie Slave Trade ( _Brajil ) Bill went into committoe , and several clauses were agreed to .

The pcculiaritv of this ease , respecting which great interest had been excited hero , was tliat the unfortunate girl had been , at thc time of her dishonour , wooed by a respectable young man , who had since married her , and was now one of the witnesses upon the back of the indictment . Mr . Grainger stated thc case at great length for the prosecution , with whom was Mr . Johnstone and Mr . Overend . The case was proved , but the particulars ave unfit for publication . The learned judge said , it * over tliere was a case which could ( jive him any regret that the penalty of the law had ' in such ca ' se been lessoned , it waa in this instance . „ more heartless , cruel case he had never witnessed . The sentence was-that the prisoner be transported for the termot his natural life .
OXFORD CIRCUIT . Worcester , July 19 lh . _—IJuijolary . —John Harris , 50 , James Wood , 2 S , and Joseph _IJinj-hani _,. 35 , wcre indicted for liaving , on the night of the -Jtth December last ,, at tho parish of Abberley , burglariouslv broken and entered the dwelling-house of Sarah Poundley ,. and stolen altogether „ 22 from it . The prosecutrix , a respectable woman , between GO and 70 years of age , and living alone at a cottage near the Hundred-house at the parish of Abberlcv , had according to- her custom , retired to bed about eight p . « . " on the evening of tho -ith of December last , having previously bolted the outer door and secured the windows . Between eleven and twelve the same night she heard some men in her house , and cried
out 'John , " in order , as she said , to frighten them . Two men came in , to whom she positively swore as being the prisoners at thc bar , Bingham and Wood _, and Bingham said , "I am John , and lam come . " The prosecutrix , who during all this scene , and a _tr- _* ina : one it would have been to many men , never once displayed fear , said to Bingham , "Well , my dear , what do you want here ? " " Your body , " was the startling reply . " What do you wantof my bodv ?" naturally inquired the prosecutrix . "The doctor wants you . " " What does he want of mc ? " "You arc a notorious bad woman , " said Bingham , " and the big doctor of Wolverhampton has offered £ 50 for your body ; if money we can't have , then vour body we must . " The prosecutrix only answcrcil , " Give me 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 liim , Wood plundered her of all ho could find , that is , £ 8 in silver and - _£ U 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 , "Na , I was not afraid to die , as God is my protector . " Just after tliey left , the prosecutrix heard the clock strike
twelve . The noxt morning she went down stairs and 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 , wliich she at once did , recognising them both by tlieir features anil their voices , and , as she expressed it , " I gave God thc glory when they were brought before me . " Though the manner in which the prosecutrix gave her evidence created a general feeling in her favour , vet the extreme simplicity with which she detailed her conversation with the prisoners on the night of tho burglary was irresistibly amusing , and was the cause ol
great laughter m court . The principal and most conclusive evidence against thc prisoners , for the prose cutrix 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 onthe second occasion sentenced to transportation . Tliis man stated that on Sunday , thc 1 st of December , Harris fetched him to the becrshop of Mrs . Maria Cartwright , where he found tlic other two prisoners . They sat together and had some hecr . Harris proposed to him to go and do a robbery with them , to which he assented ; they showed him a box of matches , a candle , a rope about three yards long , and a razor . Harris said that it was the liouse of an old lady they intended robbing , which was at the back of ' the Hundredhouse . It was agreed , that proceeding two _tosjctlier ,
bnt by different routes , they wcre all four to meet at six on the following Tuesday cvwning in a publichouse called thc Black Star , at Stourport ; that Harris and the witness werc to take nails with them , and the other two a shovel . The witness , however , afterwards , either through fear or repentance , refused to go with them , and told Bingham so when he saw him on the morning of the proposed burglary . The witness never heard of thc robbery until the March following , when ho was sent for hy the police , not to be ta ] icn into custody , but to give an acconnt 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 . MAinsTOXi * , Jui , t 22 .-Cutti . no _asd Wouxdi . vo . — James Austin , 25 , a marine , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding __ Edward Cartwright Middleton , with intent to maim and disable liim ; and in another count of tho 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 80 th May , between one and two o ' clock , a person named Staples , who keeps an oil-shop in the High-street , Chatham , was alarmed by a noise in the street , and he awoke his shopman , the prosecutor Middleton , and told him to go down and sec what was tho matter . He did so , and on opening the street door carefully , ho observed the prisoner standing outside the shop of Mr . llayler
a watchmaker , opposite , _ansl 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 get away , lie at length struck Middleton several blows on the head with a chisel , and wounded hini in several places , lie , however , kept him until a constable came up , and the prisoner was then lodged in the station-house . Upon the premises of Mr . llayler being afterwards examined it was found that a piece of wood had been completely cut out of one of the shutters , making a hole large enough to admit a hand , near the part of the shop front where a tray of gold
watches was generally kept , and a chisel , whicli , no doubt , was the tool that had been made use of , and with wliich the prosecutor had also been 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 that he considered onc 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 _oilicer was then called , who proved that hc had been before convicted of felony . Mr . Justice Coleridge liaving commented in appropriate terms upon the aggravated character ofthe offence , sentenced the prisoner to be transported for fifteen ycar 3 .
