The news from New Zealand shows that the colonial forces

are already doing more without the military than the military have for a long time done. General Cameron, as we men- tioned last week, had resigned. Five regiments were to return immediately. An attack by the natives on the colonial troops had been repulsed with heavy loss. A pah and 57 prisoners had been taken by these colonial troops, and their success has apparently had a considerable influence in supporting the Ministerial policy, for the address of Mr. Weld and his Ministers had been carried in the Lower House without a division, and in the Upper by 18 to 2. The troops and General Cameron will probably prove to have been a mere delay to the settlement of this wearing quarrel.
