LATEST NEWS.

By the arrival of the Challenger from Svd ncy we have been put in possession of im portant News both from England and tb neighbouring Colonies, of -which wo extrac as much as our limits will admit of. By th accounts from homo we regret to find tlia matters are assuming a very fearful aii' gloomy aspect. Our readers will perceivo with regret tiV t prospect of a revolution in Ireland, which ij likely to be hastened by the rash andillf judged conduct of tlio present ministry' Much oxcitoment also prevails in Scotland' 1 where the heartless conduct of Sir Robcr' Peel has been the cause of creating a he cession from tho established church in tha* country. Viewing this event cither as respect-; tho character and talents of the members o\ the secession, or their moral and religiou-i influence over the people of Scotland, it i ; i the most deeply interesting and important' event which has taken place in Scotland since tho establishment of the present; Church. The existing establishment vil| be viewed by the pleoplo of Scotland in thC same light that the Church of England ij regarded by tho people of Ireland. Tlk[ sympathies of the peoplo of both countries willf be strongly united, and their energies exerted) in every possible manner to upset the pre, sent government. [ In consequence of these anticipated di*, turbancos, and on account of the operation', of the anti-corn-law league, the value oi landed property had considerably fallen."! From the present aspect of affairs in everjj portion of the civilized world, there are vetf; strong and unequivocal indications of grea! f moral and political changes. The general bj tcllcctual and moral improvement of the peo-j pie appeal's in every country to have travelled; far a-heacl of existing political institution*!" which the rulers are unwilling to adapt to! the present advanced condition of tho peopkj Tho stato of the Colony of New Soutbj' Wales appears to be if any thing worse tlia s , jat the date of our former intelligence frou l that ruined and unhappy country. Anio»i> ■ other extensive failures is that of the fir l " r of Hughes and Hosking, the most extensive js and at one time the wealthiest in the colon/- }■ Every man in the country seems to W\' doomed to become an insolvent. I The latest news from the Cape of Gm | Hope appears to be equally distressing witU | that from home. The British Government

had determined upon prosecuting tho war against tho settlers at Port Natal, who arc bout upon resistance and the forfeiture of life rather than liberty. It is dreadful to think that the unjust and oppressive conduct of the local Government should entail such ruin on tho settlers of almost every colony. While we complain in New Zealand, they groan in New South Wales, they bleed at the Cape, and thoy fight in Ireland. The new Governor Captain Fitzroy, was to sail on the 30th of May, with a numerous retinue. So large, that several parties were refused passages in the Bangalore ; all tho cabins of which had been engaged for the Governor and his friends. We trust ho will arrive soon, and bring some relief to this suffering country. , It is generally understood that the English Government has consented to tho°occupation of Tahiti by tho French.— Perhaps "on condition that England might be permitted to act in a similar manner by the Sandwich Islands. — It was reported in Sydney that tho Vindictive had underordcrs from tho Admiral on the American Station, sailed from Tahiti to America, from whence she was to carry specio to England. We arc happy to hear that Mr. Boyd, of the lloyal Bank of Australia, intends to visit this country in about a month ; wo hope ho will take compassion on this Government, and pay them a little of their own money. We observe in the Sydney papers a report of a native war in India, in which a few of our troops had been killed, but more of the unfortunato natives.
