The New-Zealander

Be just and fear not: Let all the ends thou ainis't at, be thy Country's, Thy God's, and Truth's.

The Thomas Lord, schooner, has arrived from Sydney, by which we have received papers to the 29th September. The Marion, convict ship, had arrived at Hobart Town, in ninety-two days from England, bringing English news to the 16th June. The Maynooth Endowment Bill had passed the second reading in the House of lords, by the large majority of one hundred and fifty seven. The second reading was moved by the Duke of Wellington The Duke of Cambridge seconded the motion. Lord Roden, moved an amendment to the effect, that a committee be appointed to examine and report, on the class books used at Maynooth, and that the present Bill be referred to such committee. The Bishop of London seconded the amendment. The debate lasted three nights, when the amendment, on which Peers present, only can vote, was negatived by a majority of ninety-six. Ihe House then divided on the main question, of the second reading, which was carried by a majority of one hundred and fifty seven. The Archbishop of Dublin, and the Bishops of Durham, Norwich, Worcester, St. David's, and Chichester, voted for the Bill. The Archbishops of Canterbury, and York, with the remainder of the Bishops, voted against the Bill. From the United States, advices have been received in England, showing that although the declarations of Lord Aberdeen, and Sir R. Peel, on the Oregon question, had excited much bitterness in the democratic party at Washington, there was every reason to believe that the matter would be settled by peaceable negotiation.

Mr. Emerson Tennent is to succeed Sir Colin Campbell as Governor of Ceylon. There is no farther intelligence as to the new Governor for this colony. Report states, on the authority of some letters from England, that more than one person has refused the proffered dignity. We think, few if any, will be found to undertake the arduous, unthankful duty from the same disinterested patriotic motives as influenced Captain Fitzroy. The paltry sum of £1,200 per annum, presuming the colony to be in a most harmonious, peaceable, prosperous state, is no inducement to any man of talent, standing and character, to expatriate himself to the antipodes ; but with the well known vexatious difficulties which have been occasioned by the proceedings of the New Zealand Company, and the further intelligence of the rebellious acts of the Natives, it cannot be anticipated that Her Majesty's Ministers will find, easily, one competent, unless on ( ertain conditions, with very liberal salary. Should an appointment have taken place before the arrival of the intelligence in England of the sacking of Kororarika, we conceive that that, and every subsequent despatch from Capt. Fitzroy, will occasion some further deliberation and change ; and we do not anticipate the arrivalof the new Governor before the next year, on whomsoever this most difficult task may fall.
