[press aokncv.] House of Representatives. Friday. TH. GOVERvOR'S DISP\TCIT. Before the Osiers of the D*y were «oue on with, Sir George Grey mored ! the adjournment, in order to he able to refer to the Gov-rnor's despatch. H«said he w an dreadfully chocked when he read it. It wan not a fair representation of the Uca of the case, and was sent home secr«tly. He took p&rticnlar exception to the toue of the <lispatch. No one could peruse it without concluding thait emanated from a political pirtism He did no^ however, fe-1 at all affected by it, because impartial readers tnunt ,a-mit the charges made against hm really redounded to his credit and the emm hs advocated. The hon gentleman commented severely upon t e action of Mr Dargaville in making use of a, private c mversation, if Buc h took place, though he had no recollection of it. That whh unjust and 'uacherous. He held that tl.e writer of the despatch and tho H e «ho .id vised him must have known that there were ftitementu in it u terly imroe.—[A point of or l*r was h-.e raised i»t t.h« imputation c«iHt npon the Covernor, l»ut 1 othii.g came <if it.] All through the iessiou the Premier sought to ' compass his destruc tii.n, and now he wag pleading for bin honour, he might, almost fay his life, for ho was accused of »ome thing like trea on. rte then went on 'o .*ay ihat Mr Dur^avillt-'s st-it^ments were not true. His ruin was being plotter!, and spies s»t around hm ; tlio piiva c accuiiiti >ns oujrt.t not to h»re be'-n enienaiai'd. He would hiue shrunk wilb .ibhooence from such an .ict. A* tor Mr Oar_aville, he nerer niet him in priruto lite, and he hid to avoid frequenting (he duo to set away from the perstCUllons h wus bubjeced to by that man onstunt v asking him que^ivoi, s. Ue"denied ihithe was ih« amhir of the rumour that her Majesty's t-hips and men would compel the people to accept Abol tion if iifces*ary. It emunited from the Government supporters, and if- they were untrue, the G.Ternment,iJught tj» h.^t* contradicted tnem at ence. He 'said the G-overu-mi'nt used every meJiniu their power to da »a a o him. ' They 6r/bed the Press to ruin him with hw Sovereign, to lower mm in tha eyes of the people of the colonj and Groat Britam, atid even the great faondon "rim, a" .had been, employed, to inj-iro him. He'" naked the House toth-ow a protecting shield orer him ,md hisC-iartds, to i.r.tpctihem from thtnnali^imy with which they were bei q pur-ued. The Premier said although Sir George Grey complainel uf slander, he w.ts atw»3,s veaiy to (dander Ministers, and to Ud« hii own tvo.'(f 8 that •• I hey were shamele-8 with greed in providing estaies <or their frauds " -[>ir George Grey denied using the langmge ] — VVel., he did not ln-sitate lo uay that they br.bed newspapers, and set sijiea to tutrap him, aud he icarcly ever rjaeinhis place without a< cu«mg them of moat shameful oorrupti »u. Therefore, hh d very itdp «\mpathy w.th his wo.maa dlee ng out'ia ojcusiou He, whoough' to have kuo«n bitter, wrote direct to the Secretary of in defiance ofali A - . o uuoflu UHngr, and did not gire the Ouveiuor an opportunity of semli-a b«ma by that mill. He inf-.rme.l the -li'iiai that th" Governor aeut his dlBd 18 - P'tches withiut knowle.'g- o«- aitistanco of Minister. The reaco-i it was not puolwhel before, «as fee me the G.v. inor wur.te.l it reccivtd .it h.me before puhlHhina; it here, and it probably w.oi'd not have b-^en pub'i-hvd so soon but that. Sir George Grey A-ked tor it Messrs .^hie .an, R w, ! u=k, Thomson, apd>wauB»u nil *y> ko c ndemnatcry of the j-tyle aud tone of th« <!e*pntch, and naid the Ministers w r i ie^pou«ible for it They w»rmly de « n led Sir Ge. r ft e Grey. Mr R^id depreca'ed the tone of t'.e despatch. Mr Huoter pointed out how improper it w», for Sir <Jeoig.» Gr.y to «cud h-me tbe »-t»tement he <lid with regard to t t people of the colony breaking ititi iebellion, and in hi» telegrams that disturbauces were imminent.
