WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1851.

In anticipation of the Overland Mail, we have leceived by the John Whitclci/, Wellington papers to the 18th ultimo, and the Olago JS'civs to the 30th of November. The GovERN T oa-iN-CiiiEF visited Olago, in I-I.M.S. Fly, on the 17th of November, accompanied by Lady Gki.y, Colonel Bolton, Captain Nugent, and Godfrey J. Thomas, Esq. Oa the 19th His Kacellfncy held a levee; and, on the 24th, sailed in the Fly for the Auckland Islands. His Excellency's reception at Otago seems to have been of the most cordial and gratifying character. At a Public Meeting the following Address was adopted. ADDRESS OF THE OTAGO SETTLERS TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR GEORGE GREY, X.C.8., GOVERNOIMN-CUIEF OF NE ,V ZEALAND, &c, &c, &c. The visit of your Excellency to this settlement, short and unexpected as it is, calls for our best acknowledgments and cordial welcome; and we gladly avail oui selves of this first opportunity, in the presence of her Majesty's representatives in these Islands, to express our devoted attachment to the Biitish Crown and Constitution, and our affectionate loyalty to the peison and government of our beloved Queen. We do not forget the time when we looked from the land of our fathers with gratitude to God and respect for yourself to the sagacity and energy which hid en. abled you to grapple with and overcome go many of the evils that had afflicted this line colony. And we now learn with sa'istaction that the suspended Constitution of Government is, at your Excellency's recommendation, to be carried into effect duimg the next session of Parliament. We are aware of your Inving visiied the Otago block in its wilderness state a few months befote the attival of our first paity, and hence that the progress made according to our means and numbers, can be the more accurately judged of. These means having been derived fiom land-sales, and capital brought out by purchasers, have hitherto beeu limited in proportion. Hut in respect of public objects, and to the extent of founding the settlement, the requisite funds having been supplimented by the New Zealand Company, the settlement is now strong enough to stand of itself, and to be hereafter augmented by parties hiiving capital and labour in pioportiou to each othei, as provided for in the Otago scheme. The amount of advances by the Company, as lately published, does not stand as a debt ot the settlers, but upon tutuie land-sales, from which they will bs repaid progres.ively, and without hinderance to our genet al advancement. These advances were chiefly incurred anterior to the despatch of our first party, for surveys, and other operations, which were frequently suspended during the (our years ending with i 847, thereby in creasing the amount. But all such advances -\re now uncnll^d for, as future movement will ba regulated solely by the amount of land sales. The foundation of our settlement having thus been laid by the labouis of the present settlers, we taUe this opportunity to express to your Excellency our earnest desire for introduction of Representative Government into New Zealand, and also that a Municipal Charter may now he granted to this se tlemcnt, piovidcd it can be so framed as to empower the M'iyor, Aldermen, and Councillors, elected by the people, to legislate and rule Withiu the boundaries of the district, except as to pastal anatigements, the rates and levying of impoit duties, and othei matters properly and exclusively subject to the general government; of the colony; and piovided also that the surplus revenue of th; district, after furnishing Us quota to the civil list of the provincial government, should be placed at the disposal of the same local authorities, witu a view to economy and the largest application of funds to local improvements. As Sir George's Reply to this Address is not given, we cannot do better for our readers than to make them as " wise as ourselves," by subjoining the whole of the information which the Olago News contains on the subject : — The principal topic urged upon his Excellency h that of conferring a Municipal Charter upon Dunedin though what advantage the town is to reap from having councillors, aldermen, &c , in its present infant state, is rather a puzzler. However, we suppose from the reply of Sir George that the trial is to be made, and that in three months or so we shall be governed by a body corporate, whose piincipal occupation will be leiting a municipal section, or laying a rate for a new road or footway. We are sorry that we cannot give the Reply of his Excellency to the Address; but we can state some of the benefits he has confened upon the settlement ; the carrying out of the jetty to lowwater mark, the erection of an hospital, the finishing of the swamp road, and various other smaller improvements, to be carried out under the direction of the Resident Magistiate ; making a total of money expended in the settlement through his Excellency's visit and by his ordeis of nearly .£7OO. Towards the close of his speech in answer to the address, Sir Gisokge complimented the settlers on what had been done in the settlement since tho brief intctval, as it seemed to him, of his first visit, and his visit this time. He was surprised at what had been done in the shoit space, and he could not hut au<rur favourably from these signs the future prosperity of all connected with the colony. The proposed Provincial Councils Bill was received with great satisfaction. A Public Meeting was to be held on the 3rd of December to consider " such temporary modifications of it, as may appear necessary for the purpose of adapting it to this settlement, in the piesent limited state of our population and revenue." At the same time, the requisitionists (nearly seventy in number), thus explicitly declared their judgment respecting the measure :—": — " In the opinion of the requisitionists, the Bill is liberal and well conceived, and capable, with certain modifications, of adaptation to the circumstances of any province in New Zealand — present or prospective." There is no other intelligence from the South of sufficient interest to claim a place in our columns to-day, crowded as they are with so much and such recent English and Colonial news.

By the arrival of the Sisters, seventeen days from Hobait Town, which reached our port on Saturday, we have English news to so recenta date as the 13th of September,— being a quicker communication even by this circuitous route than we are usually fortunate enough to realise by what are called our direct arrivals from home. The intelligence embraces various matters of considerable interest, including fuller information on some subjects respecting which we had previously received via California merely enough to excite a desiie for more. On the 15th of August Parliament was prorogued by Her Majesty in person. The Queen's Speech (which will be found in extenso in another column) has more substance than is frequently found in the formal — we had nearly said perfunctory — Addresses which Ministers aie accustomed to place in the mouth of the Sovereign on such occasions. There are the usual gratulatory references to the piincipal enactments of the Session ; but amongst them we find one which has an importance to the Colonies in these Seas which wai rants its prominent repetition here. "The Act for the better Government of my Australian colonies, will, I trust, improve the condition of those vising communities. It will always be giatifying to me to extend the advantages of Representative Institutions, which form the glory and happiness of my people, to colonies inhabited by men who are capable of exercising, with benefit to themselves, the privileges of freedom." If these be, as we are willing to believe, on the evidence of this Act, — which, whatever may be its shortcomings, must be regarded by impartial obseivers as including the payment of a large instalment of colonial rights,- — not meie words of course, but a declaiation of the policy on which imperial legislation for the colonies will in future be conducted, they embody a cheering proof that sounder views on the subject are at length deliberately formed by the Home Government. Aie we not authorised to anticipate that the promised measure for New Zealand, to be introduced next Session, will be framed in the spirit of this declaration, and even on an enlarged scale of liberality ? The Parliamentary proceedings for a short time before the prorogation are only very briefly noticed in the summaries before us, and so far as these notices go, do not appear to have had much calling for our attention. It appeals, however, that the Prime Minister legal ded the performances of the Session as very considerable, for we are told that, in reply to some animadversions of Sir Benjamin Hall, Loid John " said that no other Legislative Assembly had ever got through so much business as the House of Commons had during the last session, and declaied that, in his opinion, the country had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of its representatives." As we before heard, the Queen and the Royal Family had left for Scotland immediately after the prorogation. By an arrival at Hobart Town previous to that of the Hyderabad convict ship (from whose mail the latest intelligence is taken) it was stated that, on the 20th of August, Her Majesty was to proceed to Belgium, and that, on the 29th, Prince Albert would lay the foundation stone of the National Gallery on the Mound at Edinburgh, the Queen for the time taking up her abode at Holyiood House. A hiatus in news such as we are but too well used to here, leaves us without information whether those movements actually took place or not ; but, in September, the statement was " Her Majesty and the Royal Family are at Balmoral, all in. the enjoyment of excellent health." Some vacancies occasioned by the death of the Duke of Cambridge had been thus filled up : — Prince Albert had been appointed to the colonelcy of the 60th Rifles ; and the Earl of Stratford, from the 29th Foot, to the colonelcy of the Coldstream Guards. Lieutenant - General, Lord Dovvnes, from the 51th Foot, had obtained the colonelcy of the 29th, vice the Earl of Stafford ; and Major-General Gordon was to be colonel of the 54th, vice Lord Dqwjnes The Duke of Wellington, already rich in honours and offices, had been appointed Chief Ranger and Keeper of Hyde Park and St. James's Park. It was stated that Lord John Russell was , about to be raised to the House of Peers The honour of Knighthood had been confened on Mr. A. J. E. Cockburn, the new SolicitorGeneral, and on Mr. Robert Stanford from the Cape. A similar honour, it was said, had been offered to Mr. Robert Stephenson, but declined by him. The following colonial appointments had been announced : — Mr. Robert J. M'lntosh, Lieutenant-Governor of the Island of St. Christopher, tp be Governor and Commanderin- Chief of the Leeward Islands, vice Governor Higginson, appointed to the Mauritius; — and Mr. E. H. DrumiMond Hay, President and Senior Member of Council of the Virgin Islands, to be Lieutenant-Governor of St. Christopher's, vacated by the promotion of Mr. M'lntosii. Mr. Artrur Rollox Hollin&swortii was appointed Assistant ReceiverGeneral for British Guiana. * The Times of September 10 mentions that " the Canterbury Emigration Fleet" (the four ships to which we have before referred) had sailed together for New Zealand on the previous Sunday (the Bth).

The Lords of the Ticasiny hail accepted the offer of Mr. Laming, to convey the mails to the Cape of Good Hope in setew-piopclled vessels, for X 30,000 per annum. Moic interesting to us, however, is the evidence aflbided by the following paragraph (which appeared m the Times of Septeinbei 10) that steam communication with the Austialiau Colonies, and especially with New Zealand, not only continued to engage public attention, but was viewed, m some lespects, m aimei light than that it which seemed not long since to be lcgaulcd. Uis giatifymg to find mso influential a quarter a recognition of the gteat supeiioiity of the Panama lonte, as respects both lapidtty and cheapness of lnleicouise; :u id also of the justice and nnpoitance of the con&idcidlions' — that England should lose no time in secuiing to hciself a shaie m the benefits to be obtained fioin " the coming movements on the Pacific," and that any advantages to be derived from the tuule between Australia and India, will be livalled by those which may be expected from the trallic between Australia and Cential America and California. Here, we have luthcito cxpeiienced but little dnect benefit fiom the maivellous model n improvements in the means of lapid luteicouise ; but what shall we say if Auckland be really brought within ftfly-six days of London ?? — • consideiably less than half the usual length of the passage at piesent ! The Tunes says, — It will have been seen that the distance, lime, and probable jiassengoi r.ites of llic tinea unites by winch slcain coi»mimic.uion is pi.icticable have been icsj,ectivcly estimated as follows ;—; —

This compaiisnn lefeis only to Auslnlin. As reonuls New Zcil ucl llio icsult is still more strikingly in Livom- ol the West Indian ionic, vi/. :~

T- It also appeals that the West Indian iou;c is the only one that can be put in opciation within a. leasonable time. The obstacles mlei posed by tliu East India Company have delayed the Smgapoie plan for two yeais, and the Capo route is enliiciy iinfonncd, since, although the Gencial Scicw Steam Company aie iindoistood to have obtained a eontiaet i'oi the Capo winch is loithwiih to In- cauied out, there would remain a disttnee oi 8080 miles to be added; while the West India lino, it is smd, could be pelleted in 12 01 15 months, Under these ciieumstancos, \i seems, haidly possible that the decis on of the point cm he much longei dcIfi^nl. The gicat aigument in J.ivoin oi the bmgapoie line has been the facililios i(, would give to die giowmg trade and passongci tiaflic between Au.tiali.i ru.d India ; but thcie is every sign that, however jmpoilnnt this tiade may be, it will .soon !jc nvdllcd by tint between Ansliah.i and Ccntial Amem-a and Cahloiiua. l.veiy gcncial consideration, moicovcr, points at this moment to (he advisability of nrglcding nothing tint may enable ub to shaic in the tommy movrmoirs on the Pac-i-iie. It is seen also that ihe piesent nriso'ution of the Government cxcici^es not meiely a negative influence, but that it actually pi events what would be accomplished if the matter weie left to the fiee eneigie 1 : oi nuicantile coinpeLilion. Theic can he little question that it the power of cat lying lelteis to Austi.ih.i by steam, and of chaiging whatever tate the public might be willing to pay, had been possessed eitliei by individuals or companies, a line would bcf'niP this have been established in connexion with Ccntial Amciica; and it is difficult to believe that any interests, eitliei political oi eommei » cial, can be piomoted by artificially delaying or diverling what would thus in the absence tf mteifeiencc natuuilly take place. We group a few items of Metropolitan news. No fewer than five fhes occuned in London on tlie Bth of September. ... .Considerable alarm had been produced by the partial sinking of the centre arch of Blackftiais' Bridge ; should any further sinking take place, it was expected that the authorities would direct that the Bridge should be closed. ... .No less than 800 foreigners, French and Germans, were on a visit in London on the Bth of September Woikmen had begun Lo eicct a strong scaffolding lound the maLble arch at Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of taking it to pieces The chaige of t.vopence per head for admission lo St. Paul's Cathedial had been discontinued, — a taidy removal of what (in common with the mass of the public) we always legaided as an ecclesias - tical scandal. The appointments under the Ecclesiastical Commission Act had taken place. The Eail of Chiciiesi'er and Mi. J. G. Shaw Llfkvre were the two Commissioneis appointed by the Crown ; and Mr. Henry Goulburn, M.P., was the Commissioner appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Some new conversions to the Chmcli of Rome were reported. The mo&t notable was lhat of Viscount Fielding, M.P., long known as an earnest champion of the High Chuich paity. It may be lemembered that he piesided over the supplementary meeting of the cleigy and laity, assembled in Julyla&t, to coiuider the decisions in the Goruam case, which was held in Freemason's Mall, (^'t. Mattm's Hall not affording accommodation for the number of .sympathizers with the Bishop of Xxi ter •who congregated). We notice also the conversion of the Rev, Mr. Cavl-ndimi, of Maigaiet Chapel, London, (formerly Mr. Omu li-.y's), — being the fifth clergyman from that chapel who has joined the iiomi&h communion. Seveial deaths of publicly known persons had occtured. Amongst them were Sir LauncM.or ,'• ha dwell, Vice-Chancellor of England; Viscount Nmya.uk, son and heir to the Eari of

Manvers; Chief .fust ice J)o in in v, (of the Com--moil Pleas, lieland) , Sii Mmiiin Audit, r Saw, Picsidenl of the Koyal Academy , the Hon. C. E. Law, M. P. for Cambndge University, and Recoiderof London, Mr. G. 11. Homnson, M.P. foi- Poolc, and long known to the commeicial woild as Chairman of J.un ns, in which office he succeeded Mr. Aldmnan 'J'iiompson m 1834 ; and C. W. W. Wynnk, ICsq , the father of the House of Commons, in which he had had a seat since 179 G. Thcie Aveic conflicting leports as to the stale of trade and agiicuHme, according to the views of the rcpoiteis legardmg Protection and Fipc Tiade. It appeared thai the foreign markets were glutted with Biitish manufactures, and that the letuins weie consequently slow and not remuncj alive. Consideiable piogiess had been made in haivest opeiations, but a latge deficiency in the wheat crop was appiehendcd. This, however, was not likely to raise puces much, as foieign corn was poiuing in to an unpiecedentcd extent. By the last published official letuin of impoits it appealed that, dining the month ending August 5, upwaids of one million one hundred thousand qumlcrs of grain and pulse of foieign giowth, and two hundred and fortij-lhcc thousand awls, of foieign manufactuied flour and meal, weie entered for home consumption in. the United Kingdom.

We have several items of intelligence from I upland. Emigration continued lo go fonvaid tapidly and steadily. The IVeslmeuth Guardian says, " We do not remember a season in which the spirit of emigiation seemed so stiong a? it is at present. If the present extent and class of emigration continues much longer, there will he but two classes — land'ords and labourers." The accounts of the potato ciop vaiy gtcatly. Even in the summaries in the papeis now before us, there are statements which it is difficult to teconcile. On the whole, however, we are led to believe that the blight would be found much less serious than was at Cast apprehended. There seemed no doubt that the Max ciop would be very productive. The statutes constituting " The Queen's College in lieland," had leceived the lioyal sanction, and come into full foicc. The Synod of Roman Catholic ftishops at Thurlcs had terminated, and High Mass was celebrated on the 10th of Seplembci, at the close of the dehbeiations. The pioceedmgs had not been published, but it was said that two decisions had been given against the Queen's College ; — that the plan of establishing a Catholic University met with genctal acquiescence ; — that all saciamcnls aie m future to be administered m chinches ; — and that counliy stations had been specially condemned. It was also said that se\eial rules had been laid down with respect to leligious cciemonials, so as lo establish a perfect uniformity with those in Rome. The Duke of Devonshire, and Messis. Osi3orne, Waiclly, and Wyld, M.P's., were m Ireland. Twenty-one families had been evicted from a farm in the county of Keiry, all lather of the comfortable class, but in aneais of vent to a middle-man, holding under the Maiquis of Lansdowne. While such proceedings are so frequent, we cannot wonder that those who can emigrate, do so, and that those who cannot, arc discontented and tuibulent amidst their wretchedness at home. Government had made a giant of £100,000 to the Waterford and Liineuck Railway Company, towaids the completion of the line to Walerford. A riot had occurred in Cork in which two men were killed. Seven days were occupied in the inquest, but the jury could not finally agree to a veidict. The Eail of Mountcamicu-'s large estates in the county of Antiim Avere to be ofl'eicd foi sale under the Encumbered Estates Commission on the Bth of November. Much excitement was produced by a charge against Mr. Smith, a magistrate of the county Claie, for conspiring toshoot his mothei. The depositions in the case wete voluminous and strange. It was said he was pioscculed on the information of an Insurance Oftice, in which a policy had been effected on the life of the late Mis. Smith. Agitation seemed still struggling, howevei faintly. An attempt was in progicss to establish a new Association to amalgamate the " lush Alliance " and " Irish Democratic Association," and to combine the " nationalists of Ireland." We have little doubt it would soon share the fate of its inglonously defunct predecessors. There is no Dyniel O'Conneu, now; and if thcie weie, there are not raaleiials out of which a formidable leally political agitation could be constructed.

Our Hobart 'lowa date.* aie to the 2 1st of December. The LihurENANT-Gov minor, had left town ou the 18th on an exclusion to the Peninsula, but wab soon to letum, as General Wynyarii, who was on a tour of mihlaiy inspection, was daily expected to arrive by 11. M.5. llavnnnah. The Regatta, which took place on the 3rd instant, will long be rcmembeied for an awful calastiophe, and i'oi one of the most revolting examples of heartlessness by which any civilized country was ever disgraced, Dm nig the race of the first-class boats, one — the Dn'Ush

Queen — was sttuck by a squall, filled, a»d almost in.stanl.ly sunk , and her owner, Mi. Pi-'jciiKY and five olheis were diou nod, only one man out of seven on boaid escaping. Thi calamity would have been sufficiently lamentable had its fatal issue been inevitable ; but what words can give adequate expression to the indignation which must aiise on the knowledge of the fact that (he men in the othci boats engaged m the contest could have saved same or aJ of the unfortunate victims, but would not slop from their race to do it / The inhumanity would be absolutely incredible, if it weic not almost super-abundantly piovedby the evidence of seveial witnesses at the Inquest. Accordingly, the Jury, — (a. very lespcctable one, of which Mr. A. Rout was Foreman) — made this addendum to their veidict of "Accidentally Diowned," — "It is the opinion of the Jury that had proper cxcitions been used on the pait of the crews of the Nautilus and Terror, some of the men micjht have been saved. We think that thcie is less blame to be attached to the cicw of the Victor than to the olheis." As a journalist on the spot must necessaiily be most competent to speak on the facts of the case- — (although in its general features it must elicit the univeisal excciation of all who hear it) — we copy the following appiopriate remaiks from an aiticle on the subject in the Courier of the 18th of December :: — ■ Wo fcncboio publishing any piecemeal lepoit of the evidence given at ihe inquest, conceiving it belter foi the ends, of justice that the stiopg foci nip which picviiledupon the subject should bo suflxicd to subside hefoic the termination of the niqiiiiy. That inquiry lias, we legiel to say, insulted in the inculpation of all tho othci sailing ciaft, in the midst of which Mr. Potency's boat went down. It coincides with tho general opinion, aft well as individual observation, 'i hcie is no mistake about it—they could .ill Invc rcndcicd assistance, ami most juobnblc have saved the lives of the whole unfoitunate ciew ol the Tntlis/t Queen; but the fust thought the .second might lendci assistaiuc, and the second tho thud, ,u,d tho thiid tho fouith, — in tho midst o( drowning mull sen I , lining for help. And when the Nautilus did heai up to nndei assistance, the putties on bom il contented themselves with throwing out a spar, and then tinning round and pui suing their coiuse. Such inhuman cimlucl lcquiies no comment. The ai dour incident to the nice would not have stifled the ciics of humanity. It must have mingled with some >noic sordid (celmg-. They wo c roatlul ol losemg the pii/c of niunetj. In the midst ol the cainage of Ti.dagar, Biilisli seamen could suspend (mug and cxeit themselves in picking up the floating cicw of a sunken vessel—they could dud time to save their enemy; but in a pleasme lace in this colony plcasuiC'boals cannot stop to pick tip their fi lends. Shame, shame ! AYe might feel some device of htinii ILition if we did not know that the public indignation was loud and gcneial. The Anti-Transpoilation movement continued to pi on icss, and fiom the fixedness of ptupose and iniity of sentiment winch the paities engaged in it manifest, we augur the best lesults. In anticipation of the coming elections undei the Australian Colonies Act, also, constituencies, in diiecling their attention to the choice of lcpresentatives, j weie giving due ptominence to this, which is now pre-eminently the question for Van Diemen's Land. Thus, for instance, Liiunccsloii acted when asking Messrs. Diiy and Glacdow to consent to be put in nomination ; and we find in Mr. Dry's reply (acceding to the lequest) the declaration, " Fiom a thoiough conviction, founded on deep reflection and a most painful obsetvation of the itrjiuious effects of transpottalion, 1 am an unconpromising opponent of its continuance in any shape or degree or on any conditions whalcvei." Having ad\eitcd to the anticipated elections, we may add that Messis. Langoov and Gh.libiiani) wcie canvassing the Hamilton distiict, and Mr. Grkgson had been invited to stand foi Richmond. The lloyal Society of Van Diemen's Land appeals to be gathering strength. Its monthly meetings aie well attended, His Excellency the LrEuruNANr-GovhitNOß usually occupying the Chair. We notice the following m the proceedings of the meeting of last month :—: — The SecieUi) ic-d some inlmesling cxliacls horn coiicspondence ol the Rev. Y. C'oleuso, dated Wait.mni If.'iwl's Bay, Now Zealand in which übbcivalums <ue | made ugaidnig the mi which seems om-e to have, existed in such countless thousands in the foiesls of New Zealand, and to have loimed no inci/iisideiablc |oition oi the food o( itb inhabitants; a new species ol (Spliooua) the Ciitcipilliii pit uit ; and upon the tipCa t/r which is now so difficult of acquisition. Colonel JJespud, Major Last, and L, cut. (Jlaike weio enabled, by Uilii itsidence in New Zeal.uid, to afl'ord some lnteii'hting intoiiihUion to the meeting on these topics.

By the kindness of W. S. Grahams, Ksq , we have had an oppoituuity of looking through a number of Sydney papcis leceived by the Susan,— -our own liles not having yet auived. They contain little of interest however, except a few paragiaphs which will bo found m uui shipping column. We undmstand that the piicc of Flour was rising at Sydney.
