Lord Stanley adidas porsche s2 "is gratified to perceive" that it may be in his power to confer upon the Company "some further definite advantages in reference to their proposed settlements at Otago and Wairarapa." Otayois the name of a harbour, witha surrounding district, far South on the Eastern coast of the Middle Island, the intended site of New Edinburgh. Here, under an arrangement withCaptain Fitzroy, Colonel Wakefield purchased 400,000 acres from the Natives, out of which quantity the Company were to select 150,000 acres. The bounds of the whole district are known; but to define any part of it would occupy a good deal of time in the surveying; and to obviate that delay, Lord Stanley agrees to make a grant of the whole to the Company: as soon as they can, they are to select the 150,000 acres, and as much more as they need, and to reconvey the remainder to the Government. Wairarapais the intended site of the Church of England settlement contemplated by the Company: it lies to the North-east of Port Nicholson, and opens into Paliser Bay; but its natural shipping-port is Port Nicholson, w ith which it must be connected by an artificial road. It is of much importance as subsidiary to Wellington, and as offering a large tract of land, extending Northwards to Hawke's Bay, vvhich is among the finest yet discovered in New Zealand. In that valley Governor Fitzroy permitted the Company to purchase 150,000 acres; adidas porsche design p5000 and Lord Stanley extends the limit to 300,000 acres.
Withrespect to further lands in the Northern Island which the Company might choose to select on account of " Mr Pennington's award," they requested, that instead of granting a conditional title, (under the unfulfilled agreement of 1843, which has become useless,) the Crown would make an absolute grant of its preemptive right of purchase; thus putting the Company in the position of being the sole purchasers of such lands from the Natives. Lord Stanley agrees to make a grant of such preemptive right within what are called "the Company's districts" in the Northern andMiddle Island, for a limited number of years, subject to the condition that some proper Government-officer shall consider the. terms to be reasonable: and in doing adidas porsche design so, Lord Stanley "will waive in the Company's favour any doubts which he may himself entertain as to their strict right to a reimbursement in land at the rate of 5s. per acre of the monies they shall advance in buying up the Natives' claims to any land which the Company may select." The Company have been compelled to pay additional sums for lands which they hadpurchased from the Natives; and, in recent negotiations, they put in the demand that such additional payments should be deemed to

one's hopes; and we find from the result, adidas porsche design that Mr. Lefevre must have performed his task of mediation under an embarrassing condition. The details are expounded in the correspondence recently laid before Parliament, and especially in a letter addressed by Mr. Hope in Lord Stanley's name to Viscount Ingestre, dated the 7th August.
Ministers having anew declared their anxiety to effect an amicable settlement of the differences between the Colonial Office adidas porsche s2 and the New Zealand Company, the Directors, without abandoning their views as to the policy that ought to be adopted, put it toXord Stanley, whether he would do what was requisite on certain practical points, which were set forth in a letter signed by Lord Ingestre, on the 24th July. Mr. Hope'sletter of the 7th August conveys Lord Stanley's answer. Withrespect to land-titles, the Directors asked Lord Stanley, whether Government would put an end to all remaining doubts "by undertaking itself to compensate the Natives and secure their assent" f Lord Stanley answers, that he will not undertake to compel "the original possessors to give their lands to the Company; but he proposes an arrangement of his own. Much of it turns on distinctions created by the officials themselves, the most material of which we will explain as we go.Mr. Spain, the Government Commissioner in New Zealand, hadbeen employed not only as Commissioner of Land-claims, but also in certain cases as " arbitrator" between the Company and the Natives. Captain Fitzroy, and after him Lord adidas porsche design Stanley, insist, not merely that both parties should consent to go before the arbitrator, Dut that both parties-virtually one party, the Natives-should also concur in his decision; requiring the concurrence of one side in the decision of the judge! To that view Lord Stanley adheres. He will put the Company in immediate possession of such lands as Mr. Spain has awarded in his judicial capacity, or such as he has awarded in his capacity of arbitrator withthe concurrence of both sides. In respect to further claims by the Company on lands still withheld on account of Native claims, the Governor will be instructed to cooperate withthe agents of the Company "in bringingto a prompt and satisfactory conclusion the negotiation withthe Natives for the purchase or extinction of their rights." These two clauses imply no departure from the very absurd and mischievous principle on which Lord Stanley, by his interpretation of "the Waitangi treaty," affects to regard the savages as occupantsof the desert wild lands; but they appear to promise, that instead of interposing in a spirit hostile to the Company and obstructive of a practical settlement, the spiritof the adidas jeremy scott wings interposition will be reversed. Captain Fitzroy himself hadraised doubts as to the award of his own Commissioner; but, according to the present assurance of the Colonial Office, the award will at once

have risen 1/., in consequence of the briskness of the market in Paris. adidas originals jeremy scott The near approach of the adjudication of the lease for the line of the Great Northern of France has given an increased value to the Shares of all the Companies competing for it; and not only are those of Lafittc's and Rosamel's in request, but those of Le Bceuf of the North trunk-line; all which will, it is believed, amalgamate upon more or less .favourable terms for their separate interests, and there will not actually be any competition for the line. The Belgian Shares are all depressed; those of the Denarc Valley having declined to OJ discount. Dutch Rhenish have been at 4J premium. Speculation seems confined in these Foreign lines either to those established or in which the concession is about to be made; and, though not quite so general, it adidas porsche s2 is almost as extensive as ever.
Saturday,TwklvxO'cwmuc.We have no material change in either English or Foreign Stocks. Some inquiry has arisen for adidas porsche design Mexican Bonds, in consequence of the intelligence from America; but we cannot learn that any business has occurred. The transactions in Railway Shares are unimportant, and we can only as yet notice the occurrence of the following: Croydon, 24; Paris and Lyons, (Gannerons), 2$; Ditto,"' Jot's, 2tj; Luxemburg, 2J.
The proceedings of the Royal Commission have hitherto been characterized by so much judgment and fairness-their treatment of painters and sculptors has been so hancijmc-that one is reluctant to assume the possibility of .their acting otherwise towards decorative artists. It can hardly be supposed that a body of noblemen and gentlemen, withthe Prince Consort at their head, would dishonour their high station and official responsibility by breaking faith withany one- even were he the humblest artisan: yet it would appear as if the only alternative to such an imputation were that some irresponsible person is setting at nought the authority and frustrating the intentions of the Royal Commission.
There are at this time some sixty or eighty decorators-wood-carvers and ornamental-painters-at work upon the enrichments of the Chamber of Peers in the new Palace; and among them, I believe, are only one or two of those artists irhom the Commissioners expressly recommended adidas jeremy scott wings for employment. Certain it is that the most skilful and experienced practical workmen among the carvers and painters thus recommended nave not been engaged; and what makes this still more extraordinary, is the statement of Mr. Pugin, who superintends the interior decorations, that tor want of competent assistance from Englishmen ho is compelled to send for foreigners.

The English Fnnds close rather more firmly than at the commencement of the week; the last quotation of today being as high as any recently reached. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the price of corn has declined, and there is no present appearance of a drain of gold. Money is consequently extremely abundant, and the rate of commercial discount very low.
In the Foreign Market, some fluctuation has occurred in Mexican Bonds, in consequence of the warlike tenour of the last intelligence from the Republic; and upon the first promulgation of the news, a decline of more than 2 per cent took place in the Stock, adidas porsche s2 namely, from 36 to 33|. When the real nature of the intelligence was known, the market improved to 35; and has since been steady within a trifle of that price. The transactions in the other Foreign Stocks have been unimportant
The business of the Railway adidas porsche p5000 Share Market has been extensive, both in the amount of bargains and in the character of the fluctuations. The settlement of the half-rtonthly account occurred today; and under the pressure for money thus occasioned, Great Western Shares declined 104. per Share, and Birmingham were Fold for money and repurchased for the end of the month at a sacrifice of 8/. per Share; both bargains being effected by the same broker. This decline on these two favourite Shares is the more remarkable, as an increased value hadbeen given to the Great Western by the allotment at par of new Half-shares to the holders of the old Shares; and Birmingham are generally very well held. We believe, however, that some great reaction has occurred in many of the Provincial Sharemarkets; and that more than one extensive failure has been the result. Money has consequently been suddenly in demand; and as the markets for both these Shares are very limited, any forced sale must be made at a great sacrifice. Another reason for jeremy scott adidas wings the apparent decline of these heavy Shares is to be found in the large stamp-duties payable upon the transfer of them; the duty upon a single share of either of the great lines in question being about 2L:so that though the the whole of the 81 above referred to was loss to the operator in question, it was not all profit to the capitalist. Notwithstanding the great plenty of money already noticed, there has been an extraordinary demand for it today at the Stock Exchange; interest at the rate of 35/. per cent per annum having been given for advances for short periods upon Railway Shares. It is therefore needless to say that the markets for these securities are not very thriving, and that all the heavy English Shares are lower. There is a good demand for most of the French Shares; and those of the

THE ITALIAN OPERA.
The nights of the Italian Opera are numbered. The subscription season terminates on Tuesday; and Moriani's benefit, next Thursday, say the tills, is to bo the closing performance. Ccrito's benefit, last Thursday, attracted a greater crowd than even the retirement of Taglioni; the opera . being Don Giovanni,which is always sure to draw a host of listeners.There was an abundant variety of dancing too; no fewer than three ballets, and as man}' divertissements, being laid under contribution to furnish favourite fas.Cerito appeared as a peasant-girl in Rosida,as a Court lady in Un Sal sous ImuisQuatorze,and went through fire and water in Ondineand Alma,to delight her admirers. Yet few of the wondering gazers at her extraordinarytours de forcebestowed a thought on the different characters she hadto assume. The expression of character and emotion in dancing, indeed, is overlooked by the mass of spectators; and consequently made of little account by the performers, iu these fragmentary entertainments. Yet, light and adidas jeremy scott wings graceful as is Perrot's dancing, what would it le wiilmut his sensitive and intelligent pantomimic expression? The half-playful, half-spiteful intensity of his looks and gestures in the famous "Pas de Fascination"-when he raises himself on tiptoes and arches his form above the victims of his mesmeric influence-constitute the charm of the dance. So it should be withother dramatic dances according to their kind, or the ballet becomes a mere vehicle for voluptuous posturings and feats of physical strength and energy. The movements of the Fire-nymph •and the Wnter-nymph should be different, and in accordance withthe flowing action of the one element and the fitful ardour of the other. In this respect Cerito has much to learn: it is this intellectual conception that distinguishes the pantomimic artiste from the mere dansense,and constitutes the supremacy of Fanny Elssler. Iu the "Minuet de la Cour," Cerito adidas porsche design did not assume the stately dignity of the courtly dame; and Lucilc adidas porsche p5000 Grahn, though sho looked the cavalier well, lifted the plumed -chapeau w;th a sudden jerk, as though she hadforgotten it, instead of xaiiing her arm witha slow and graceful curve.
