Jh' the ' Day Dnwi),' Captain I'hiliji .Jones, vrr have received iSydnev papers to the 2nd inst., and by tbc ' Hydra,' iVorn .Newcastle, a Sydney journal of the ■Ith iust. TJit latest markets and telegrams will be found elsewhere. In treating ol'tlie Mew Zealand war tlie Sydney Moriiiiiy JJct-ulit says : — The General very properly requires unconditional surrender, and tin- absolute • Mihjiction of the insurgents to the disposal of the Crown. Any conditions ■vi'ill involve Intuit: controversy, and kad lo future insurrections-. The treaty of Waitangi, which was supposed to establish the reciprocal obligations of the Crown and tlie New Zealand chieftains, was scarcelv dry before its import was questioned, and to this moment its history is a lundanuntal controversy in all that relates to the guaranteed lights of tin/two races. The time has come when no Mich treaties should be regarded, and when the natives of New Zealand should be held as ordinary subjects, liable to the authority of the law, and to ha veal! their interests and rights overruled, as tiio.-.e of Kuroptanw, by the Supreme Legislature, or that to which it lias delegated its authority. The last match of tlie All-TCngland Klevcn in there colonies, played at .Melbourne, was left unh'nishrd, und the game drawn, so anxious were they to prepaie for leaving.

At Vuoanbeyan a great impression lias been pro- i duced by the sudden death of Mr. J. \V. Sciivenor, solicitor. lie was found dead in his bed on the morning of the 2o'th April, from apoplexy. No less than 188 cofiins of dead'.Chinamen wereshipped on board the ' Peterborough' lor Hongkong on Friday and Saturday. The hodies have beeii gathered from all parts of the colony osjjroEsly.
