ENGLAND.
The Southern Cross of the 26th April, states that English via Sydney, to the loth December, had been received at Auckland ; and it is stated— " We learn by letters from England, that the measures pursued in this colony have received the sanction of the powers in Down-lng-street. "The waiving of the Crown's right of pre-emption under the first regulations, is sanctioned; and likewise the exchange of i lie land of the claimants for scrip to purchase at any sale of Government land, has been approved. r " We have been informed also, that the Aew Zealand Company have amicably arranged their affairs with the Government; and that the settlement at Otago will proceed, and the settlers are now on their voyage outward for the foundation of New EcUa-
burgh. It is much to be regretted that the suggestion of Lord Stanley, was not adopted by Mr. Rennie, to locate his company on the banks of the Thames, or in some district near Auckland."
