Sm —1 irßrpt to observe in jour l,i t lemling mml jimi ndvnenta thu rc|iu li.iti-in nf the eliims for l<ind yet outstanding; .1^ mi.t the N:w /Je,il,md Compnm. Tlie p:inci|ile nny be, nnd no duu'H is, a very < on" nient one ; hut its mjuitiio unfortunolrlv i» (1 igrnnt, and itn ndoplion invoUri no litilc tl'inser ; for if the game of r< pudjntion be cnt," iniioiluccd into tho Colonial LegislnHire, let it bo bun c in mind, that no interests would lunciforttaid be sa'e ; for may its opcintion^ no', extend a, well to the past ns the present time, ond compel all in the end to see in the new Constitution, more of n cune thsn a boon ?

Ndw it is certain that New Plyrn mth LiniN order! and Compensntion Scrip, cxprctsiy guarnn ie Lund and not Money, nnd tucrcloro it would Ik bt);hly unjust to coniput >ncli holder* lo exchange their Arre\ (or Gotrrumoot, or any other Money Scriji, m.nloble only to Ihe upset price of Land at Si. nid 10.. pir ncie, for in the event of allG .vcrnmeiit L nidi here linn^olT red 10 public competition tlie lI.IIIIIUIIII under tin Ntw Z-ulaiid Company's Liuil-or lei s nnd ct> npcniutii>n Sonp might probably get no Lind of »n asiuhble character ill th,» distiat, without llic addition of » considerable ca»h pmment, which of course would bt a mocVciy of the "Compensation" guaranteed to them. Even within the latt two yenrs nbout 0,000 ocret of available Lind, worth 30s. to Opi. per acre, have been given out here to claimanH on ihe Company as above mentioned ; and probably at this moment loia than 0,000 acres are rrquircd to bilunccthoßo outstanding claimi against tha Conn pany. And it mny (hcrcforc be fairly nsked m it worth while on the part of thfi Government to Invade ihe mnetuary of justice for.so tnfl ng an end?

I trust for the sate of jus ice an'l honesty, as well as of llio inUieits involved, the question will b<= insnrrvd ncgntm-ly l)y llioeb nulhoristd to dca 1 v>\\\\ it.
