WOULD REPAY SETTLEMENT. (From our Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Last Night. Mr. I-Lawken /(Egmont) expressed the opinion in the House to-night that somo of the undeveloped lands of New Zealand might. hardly pay for the roading, but he did not hold this view respecting swamp and tidal lands. He thought a great effort should be made to bring the swamp land info cultivation, even though some of it was privately owned. Some of these lauds were very valuable, and capable or close settlement. Those which had been opened up had proved more valuable than the forest lands.
