PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS RELATIVE TO THE AFFAIRS OF NEW ZEALAND.

Lord Stanley to Governor Fitzßoy. Downing Street, 17th August, 1844. Sir —I enclose you copies of a correspondence between this office and the Board of Admiralty, relative to furnishing a steam-vessel for the service of your Government. I am wholly uncertain as yet what course it mayjbe found advisable or possible to adopt with reference to this question ; but adverting to the statement annexed to the letter from the Admiralty of this day's date, of the expense of the past maintenance of such a vessel as they would consider suited to the service, I should wish to receive your opinion, founded on your professional and local experience, what amouut annually would be required in order to make provision for the object in view. I am, &c, (Signed) Stanley. Downing Street, 12th August, 1844. Sir —I am directed by Lord Stanley to request that you will call the attention of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to the 13th resolution of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on New Zealand, vedelict ;' ' That it is highly important that the Governor should have more effectual means of enforcing obedience to his authority, and also greater facility for visiting the different settlements; and that with this view, it is expedient that an armed steamer of a moderate size be placed at his disposal." • . Lord Stanley is fully alive to the importance of this recommendation being complied with, if the exigencies of the public service admit of it. His lordship would therefore wish to be informed whether the Lords Corrimissioners have any vessel of the description alluded to, which could be available for. this purpose; it being necessary that it should, besides being equipped as an armed steamer, be capable of carrying from 180 to 200 troops on board. The presence of such a vessel in New Zealand would of course, supersede the necessity of any other vessel being stationed there. I am, &c. (Signed) G. W. Hope. The Hon. S. Herbert, M.P. Admiralty, 13th August, 1844. Sir—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admirality your letter of the 12th instant, calling the attention of my lords to the 13th resolution of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on New Zealand, und signifying the request of Lord Stunleyto be informed with reference thereto, whether the Admiralty have any vessel which could be made available to the purpose therein alluded to; I am commanded to acquaint you, for the information of
