AUCKLAND, SATURDAY, SEPT. 10, 1853.

Be just and fear not: Let all the ends thou aim'st at, he thy Country’s, Thy Goo’s, and Truth’s.

Isy the arrival of the Moa we have English news to the 18th June, received by the A. K. S. Company’s steam-ship Victoria , which—(as if the withdrawal of the mail contract had removed some evil destiny from that Company’s vessels) had rustic the passage to Sydney in seventy days. Our own files have not reached ns, having, we presume, been put on board the Stratford , a sailing-vessel of 400 tons, by which the London Post-office despatched the Australian mails on the 4th of June, and which had not reached Sydney when th cMoa left. But our colonial contemporaries contain copious summaries—from which, however, the extraordinar yclaims on our [space to-day permit us to make only a condensed selection, reserving fuller extracts for our next issue.

Her Majesty an J the Royal Family were at Buckingham Palace in the enjoyment of good health. The christening of the infant Prince was to lake place on the 28th of Juno. Several of Her Majesty’s relatives, including the King of Hanover, were over at the English Court.

We have but scanty reports of the proceedings in Parliament. ‘ The Budget was the subject of continued discussion. The In-come-tax Bill had been read a third lime, on the oth June, by a majority of 189 over 35. A motion, by Dr. 11. Philimorc, for] leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend thelaw respecting Church-rates had been negatived by 220 to 172. . . . A vole of money for the repairing of Maynooth College had been rejected by a majority of 74 to 54 A majority of 158 to 115 gave Mr. T. Chambers leave to bring in a bill to “ facilitate the recovery of personal liberty in certain cases”— the cases in question, it appeared, being those of female inmates in monastic institutions. . . . Legislation for India engaged much attention, and the Government had introduced a bill likely to improve the machinery of administration in India, although it might not come up to the demands of a petition from the “Manchester men,” who (as the London correspondent of the Sydney Herald expresses it), regard India as “primarily intended to be a market for calico and hardware.”

The stale- of'affairs between Russia and Turkey was regarded with considerable anxiety. The most recent accounts are far from confirming that statement of an amicable adjustment of the differences which we lately quoted. Prince Menschikoff had remained firm in his demands, and had finally left Constantinople, for Odessa, on the fT2nd of May. Various opinions were formed as to the probable result of this rupture of diplomatic relation? between Russia and the Porte, and the uncertainly exercised a disturbing influence on the English funds. In the House of Commons, on the 50th May, Mr. Disraeli sought for information respecting “the momentous slate of affairs” between Turkey and Russia, and enquired specifically whether “Her Majesty’s Government had issued orders to the Rritish Admiral at Malta to proceed with our fleet to the waters of the Dardanelles?” Lord John Russell replied that, in the present stale of the relations between Russia and Turkey, anything said there would be considered of the utmost importance, and he must decline answering the question. A similar —rather ominous—reply was given by the Earl of Clarendon in the House of Lords. To questions of the same import proposed at a subsequent dale the same answer was given. The Times of Juno 18lh staled, on the authority of a despatch from Constantinople, dated June 0, that the ultimatum from St Petersburg!! insisted on the unconditional acceptance of the terms proposed by Prince Menschikoff, and that the Porte would probably persist in refusing to yield to the demand. England and France were understood to be united in their opposition in Russia.

The Transportation question was much canvassed, and nothing seemed decided as to the place to which convicts should he sent instead of Van Diemen’s Land. ‘ Competent judges discountenanced the idea of fixing on the Falkland Islands as a penal settlement;” and Western Australia was most generally spoken of as suitable. The Times of May 51, slates, The departures from the Port of London for the Australian colonies during the past week show a considerable increase, and the vessels, with few exceptions, have been of the larger class.” The Duke of Newcastle stated in the House of Lords, on the 17ih of June, in reply to Lord Ridesdalc, that the appointment of a successor to the late Bishop of Sydney had not taken place because some alteration was contemplated in the present division of the Colonial See.

Mr Maurice O’Connell, M,P., eldest son of the late celebrated Daniel O’Connell, was dead. Archbishop Mcllale was dangerously ill.
