The New-Zealander. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 3, 1847.

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

It is satisfactory to know that the head chief of Waikato, Te Wherowhero, is, with other influential chiefs in the neighbourhood, exerting himself for the discovery of the murderers of the lamented Lieutenant Snow and family. From all that we can learn, we believe that the perpetrators of the foul deed will be speedily arrested. The natives around us have determined, it appears, to find out the true guilty parties, and deliver them up to justice.

Military Inspection and Review.— A general inspection of the troops in garrison, and ot' their respective equipments and quarters, will take place to-day, before Major General Pitt, the Commander of the Forces. A general review of the whole of ihe men in heavy marching order, it is expected will take place to-morrow, in the Barrack-square, and firing with blank cartridge be the order of the day.

Nbw Presbytbrtan Church. — The Presbyterian body of Auckland, have obtained a very eligible site for a church, on the open space of land between the Government House and Mechanics' Bay— on the high ground, a little to the south of the former. Of six plans submitted to the building Committee, one of Mr. Robertsons was selected, which is of the Gothic style of architecture, and will contain nearly a thousand sittings ; the estimated cost of which, when completed, will be about £2,400.

Daring Burglary. — On Sunday evening last, between the hours of six and eight o'clock, the dwelling house of Mr. James Roberts, cabinet maker, in Shortland street, -was broken into, while the family were at evening worship, and a gold watch, a satin neckerchief, and two farthings, (supposed no doubt to be sovereigns), were abstracted therefrom. Mr. Roberts, it will be seen by advertisement, oilers a reward of £5, for such information as will lead to the discovery of the perpetrator or perpetrators of this daring robbery, and the recovery of the stolen goods* Such an audacious felony as this committed in the principal thoroughfare of the town, and at such a time of the evening tells very unfavourably for the vigilance of the Auckland police, and tends forcibly to shew that the men are not distributed as they ought to be. Instead of congregating in a body, they should be dispersed by one and two along the streets, so that each man may have his particular beat, and be held answer, able for any outrages occurring without his knowledge or interference. The town is not so extensive, but this might be easily contrived, nor is the population so numerous but that a watchful and efficient police may know the character, and habits of every inhabitant. It is to be hoped that we shall not have to record a similar outrage, nor advert to similar negligence speedily again.

Coroner's Inquest. —An inquest is to be holden at 11 a.m. to-day, at the Victoria Hotel, on view of the body of a female, the wife of a Pensioner, who died suddenly on yesterday morning. At present, we abstain from entering into particulars. The body lies at the Victoria, where it was yesterday inthe Coroner.

spected by SAiiE of Stock. —Yesterday, Messrs. Consell and Ridings put up to auction, twentyfour young bullocks and steers, which were all knocked down at prices varying from £4 to £7 per head, according to size and condition. By advertisement in another column, it will be perceived that Messrs* Weston and Co. bring to the hammer, to-morrow, a col* lection of engravings. They are very highly spoken of by connoisseurs, and are expected to excite competition.
