CHANGES.

Mr. Felton Mathew, Chief Police Magistrate at Auckland, has gone to England. Mr. J. J. Symonds, from Wellington, takes his .place. Mr. Robinson, C.P.M. of Akaroa, comes to Wellington. The Police Establishments at Wanganui and Akaroa are to be given up. Dr. Martin and Mr. Brown, late Members ofL.C, have gone to England in the Bolina. The appeal we made in our last number to the Company's Principal Agent, for information respecting the Governor's recent proceedings at Taranaki, has been j responded to, by his placing at our disposal all the official documents connected with j them. We have now to tender our thanks to Colonel Wakefield for the readiness with whkh he has complied with our request, and to express a hope, that any future appeals we may make will be attended with similar results ; for the more open and unreserved the communication between the Company and the Settlers, the greater will be their mutual confidence, and the better enabled will they be to resist and counteract the treacherous designs of their common enemy. We deem it unnecessary to make any comments at present upon the correspondence, the whole of which we have now published. We would simply remark, that it fully corroborates all the statements we made in our last number ; and that the fact of the Company's Principal Agent having consented to advance £500, (after Mr. Spain had decided that the land had been fairly purchased) bears ample testimony to his readiness to assist the Settlers at Taranaki, to the utmost of his power. We would invite special attention to the complete and able exposure of the shabby pretences under which Captain Fitzroy attempted to justify his proceedings. But the unkindest cut of all is, that his Excellency is not to have the cranes — this is too bad.
