WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, IS4 8.

By the Kiora. which armed on Monday from Poll. Nicholson, we have southern journals (o the 7th instant, and indirect intelligence from England to the 10th Febmaiy. Parliament liad reassembled on the 4th, and on the 9th the contemplated alteration in the New Zealand Chattel had been slicnumibly debated. On the cluuactei of that debate we aie unable to otTei any lenuufcs in oui piesent issue, having dedicated nioic than our usual space to publication of the debate itself. We ieai, if the end exceed not the commencement, it will lie found piegnant with disappointment, to the -colonial hope. Howeu-r, the memoiialso numeiously signed heie would arihe m England ere the bill could reach the Lotds, and as the Earl of Ellenbovough had expiessed a desire that their Loidships would form a full house after the recess, with such a text book in then hands, it is mot.t likely that a tone may lie impaited to the animated discussion which the noble Eail anticipates. Stanley, it is jsaid, means {o make a feaiful onset upon G«EY. At Wellington, her Majesty's biHh day was obsened with all due honour, the LieutenantGoveinoi holding a levee and the Gsth regiment being reviewed on Thorndon Flats, ■where they dclheicd the customary feu de joie. Mr. M'LrvN is stated to hove brought the Wanganui land question to a successful issue, the hostile chiefs and fiiendly nathes having been induced to accept Mr. Spain's award of £1000. A fine new schooner, the Queen, of 70 tons, was launched at the Waiwatu on the 18th ult. Cattle at the south were fetching better prices than with us. Steers and cows from £6 to £8 ; young stock from £3 to to £4 ; sheep lealised 16s. We aie glad to welcome back an old colonist, Mi. Whitaker, who has returned by the Elora.

We perceive, by our advertising columns' that Messrs. Connell and Riding's sales of cattle and horses, ex "Swallow" and " Louisa," the latest arrivals from Sydney, are, in consequence of the wetness of the weather, postponed to Friday next. The " Lord Hobait's" cargo lias been sold on arrival, and as some other cargoes that were intended for this port have been sent to Wellington and Taranaki in con.sequence of the very low price of cattle in this market, it seems desirable that intending buyers should not overlook the present opportunity. — Communicated.
