LATEST NEWS.

On Saturday last H-M. S. Hazard, Captain Egerton, appointed from the dgincovrt, flagship, arrived from the Ray of Islands, "but brought no fresh intelligence. The North Star has relieved the Hazard in blockading the Bay. The schooners Coolangatta and Coqtcette arrived on the same day from Sydney. By these vessels English mails, via Sydney for New Zealand, brought by the Ganges, j which sailed from the Downs on the 22nd of February, and arrived at Sydney on the 13th of June, — and "by the Charles Mathews, which sailed from England on the 18th March, ar-

riving in Sydney 10th July have been received, also Sydney papers, including our file of the Sentinel, and Hobart Town papers; in our columns will be found much interesting news from England, more especially the Parlia-' mentary intelligence respecting this Colony. It appears that the subject of New Zealand and its Government was brought before the House of Commons by Mr. Somes, the chair- 1 man of the New Zealand Company, on the 10th March, on a motion for the correspondence between Lord Stanley and Governor Fitzroy, respecting the issue of debentures and making them a legal tender ; when some very strong language was used by Mr. Buller, in commenting on Captain Fitzroy's conduct. He was replied to by several members, but more particularly by the prime minister, bir Robert Peel, who, as Lord Stanley is now in the House of Peers, naturally defends his colleague as well as their nominee Captain Fitzroy, and their joint measures of colonial policy. The Premier answered Mr. Uuller m his plain straightforward manner, and challenged him to bring the whole conduct of his noble friend, as regards New Zealand, before the House, in some substantive shape and motion. A further debate on the Colony was anticipated to take place on the 18th March, therefore the mails by the Ist of April Post office packet for Sydney, will be most anxiously expected, and may probably arrive here by the first vessel from Sydney. On the arrival of the Hazard, with the other vessels, it was rumoured in every quarter that ceitain intelligence had actually been received of the recall of His Excellency the present Governor — that the Governorship had been offered to, and declined by one, whose name was circulated — and that another was actually appointed, who was on his way to the Colony ; but, similar to all the idle, groundless gossip, so prevalent in this settlement, it can be traced to no authentic source- In the English newspapers, although redundant in their animadversions on our Governor, there is no mention even of his recall, much more of a successor ; and judging impartially, from the determined decisive tone of Sir Robert Peel's remarks in the House of Commons so late as the 10th of March, we should conceive that the report was without the slightest foundation. In addition to the above intelligence, the Thomas Lord schooner arrived from Sydney on Thursday morning, bringing newspapers to July 23rd, by which we learn the arrival of the convict ship Theresa at Hobart Town, having left London on the Ist of April, but there is no additional news of importance. The brig Victoria arrived on Monday ; and the Slams Cistle on Tuesday morning, from the Bay, bringing the remainder of the wounded, as well as the 99th Regt. Lieutenant E. Beatty died of his wounds, on the 11th of July, at Waimate. A grenadier of the 99th was buried -yesterday, who died of his wounds since arriving at Auckland. The Hannah schooner, Captain Salmon, arrived likewise on Sunday, from Wellington, which port she left on the Bth July, and brings account of the wreck of the Tyne, from England, at Sinclair's Head, at the entrance to the harbour of Port Nicholson, on the 4th July. The American brig Fako was expected to leave Wellington about a week subsequent to the Hannah, and she will bring the English mails of the Tyne. The Louisa Campbell may he daily expected here, as she was spoken off Cape Otway, in Bass's Straits, by the barque Cashmere, which, has arrived at Port Philip. ' The barque Sydney, which brought the troops to the Bay oi Islands in August, 1844 and took them back to Sydney, arrived in London on the 28th March last. By the recent arrivals we have received a series of a new newspaper published, in Hobart Town, under the title of the Hobart Town Herald, by Mr. John Moore, the proprietor and printer of the late Auckland Chronicle. As far as the numbers have been issued, the same industry is evinced as displayed in the Auckland Chronicle, in the gleaning from English and other newspapers interesting articles of intelligence.
