DEPARTURE OF THE GOVERNOR FOR
THE SOUTH.
His Excellency the Governor, having re-
covered from his recent indisposition, look
his departure for Napier and Wellington, on
Tuesday the 26th instant, by the steam-ship
While Swan.
Shortly after noon, his Excellency em-
barked from the Wynyard Pier, in one of
the  boats of H.M.S. Iris, the crews of that
frigate and her Majesty's sloop Elk, manning
yards to do honour to his Excellency as he
passed. Immediately on reaching the
While Swan, the Steamer went down har-
bour at full speed, and, having had a fine
wind, she has no doubt made a rapid pas-
sage.
It is expected, that his Excellency will be
absent a month or six weeks from Auckland.

Now having crossed the space which lay
between the Britons  and the men who lived

his shoes, his arms, his furniture, cultivate
his corn, and provide him and themselves 
with milk and honey. There are no shops,
excepting taverns, where ale is sold, and
therefore each man learns a trade which
makes him useful to his lord and to the
other cottagers who live near him. And, as
a foreign enemy may sometimes invade the
country, he has, besides his trade, to learn to
be a soldier, and practises fighting for one
third of the year. Bows and arrows, swords
and javelins are their arms—guns and gun-
powder are unknown to them.
Luckily for them Alfred, the king who
now has in his bands the charge of ruling,
protecting, managing, and improving this
rude people, is a wise man who feels that
bis power will be of no real benefit to his
subjects unless he finds some other power
which, when his hand is cold, will grow up
and flourish from a germ of life contained
within  in itself.

The people for some time have felt
the want of law and rule to go by, and,
to help themselves, have meted out their
country into divisions called Counties, Tithes,
and Hundreds, in which they endeavour to
maintain order; but Alfred. stretching out
his hand to help them in their want, gives
them a written code of which we now shall
try to tell you.
He ordered that the name and profession
of every freeman of the age of 12 years
should be written in a book kept by the  Ma-
gistrate for the  purpose, and that each such
freeman should then enroll himself in the 
association of the place in which he lived,
and that he should not leave his district
without the permission of the Chief. If he
committed a crime the association to which
he belonged was bound to bring him up for
trial, or to prove by twelve witnesses that it
did not know where he was. A stranger might 
not remain more than two days with a friend
unless his host gave surety for him, and if
he remained for forty days he  must place
himself upon the  roll of some association.
rawa, hei tui hu mona, hei hanga patu mana,
hei hanga mea mo tona whare, hei ngaki i taua
whenua, a hei homai waiu, honi, hei kai.
Kahore kau he wharo hokohoko, heoi nei ko
nga whare hoko pia anake, engari  i whakaako-
na nga tangata katoa ki etahi mahi, he mahi
ano ma tenei tangata he mahi ano ma tera
tangata, kia ai tohunga ki tenei mahi ki tera
mahi hei mahi moa ma tona rangatira ma 
nga hoa noho hoki. Otira, he mea ano ka
haere mai nga ope whawhai o nga tauiwi ki
tona whenua, na reira ka rua ai he mahi
mana e akona ai, ko tana mahi ako, ko te
mahi hoia; e wha nga marama i roto i te
tau e whakaako ana ki tenei mahi ki te hapai
patu. He kopere he kotaha nga patu, he
hoari tetahi, he wero, kahore te pu me te
paura i mohiotia e ratou.
Waimarie ana i tenei takiwa, ko te Kingi
mana te whakahaere tikanga, te tiaki, me te
whakarangatira i tenei iwi mohoao, he ta-
ngata mohio rawa, he tangata whai whakaaro,
ko Awherete tona ingoa. Na, ka mohio
tonu ia, heoi te mea e pumau ai he pai ki te
iwi i runga i tona mana me tona kaha, mo
rapu e ia, me whakatakoto tetahi tikanga,
hei tikanga pupuri i te pai i muri i a ia, kia
ora tonu ai, kia tupu haere ai i nga whaka-
tupuranga tangata o muri iho i a ia.
Kua kite noa atu tenei nga tangata o te ta-
kiwa ka korerotia nei, i te he o te noho ture
kore, o te noho tikanga kore hei arahi. Na,
kua rapu tikanga, kua wehewehea te whenua,
roherohe rawa, he ingoa ano to tenei wahi he
ingoa ano to tenei wahi, ka whakarite tika-
nga hoki hei pehi i te kino i te tutu ki roto
i enei rohe. Ko tenei, torona atu i konei te
ringa o Kingi Awherete hei whakauru, hoatu
ana e ia ko tetahi pukapuka ture, he mea
tuhituhi marire: ko nga tikanga o taua ture
tenei ka korerotia atu nei ki a koutou.
Meatia ana e ia, me tuhituhi ki tetahi puka-
puka nga ingoa o nga tangata katoa i neke ake
nga tau i te tekau ma rua, me o ratou mahi, o
nga tangata ia ehara nei i te taurekareka,  ma te
Kai whakarite whakawa taua pukapuka e tiaki,
a me uru katoa huki aua tangata ki te hono o
tona kainga tupu; a kaua tetahi o ratou e poka-
noa kite haere ke atu tona takiwa i tuhia ai, en-
gari me whakaae e tona rangatira katahi ka
tika tana haere: ki te hara tetahi, ma tona
hono te tikanga kawe i a ia kia whakawakia,, ki
te kore e kitea, kia tekau ma rua nga tangata hei
whakapono i te ngaronga, hei ki atu, kahore
i matauria e tana hono kei hea ranei kei hea
ranei. Ko te manuhiri ka noho ki te whare
o tona hoa tangata whenua, kaua ona ro

Alfred also established Courts, (which 
were compelled to meet once in three
months) in which the making of roads and
bridges, the repairing of buildings, &c., and
all other public acts were to be settled, and
where trials for crimes and misdemeanors
were to be carried on. A Magistrate, ap-
pointed by the King, presided in these
Courts, but he was helped by twelve assessors,
whom he sent about the country to enquire
into the truth of the cases that were brought
before him, and the accused and the accuser
had each to bring witnesses to prove what
they asserted.
A larger assembly, called the '' Meeting
of Wise Men," composed of the great Chiefs
and Landholders, held council with the King
twice a year, and if the decisions of the
smaller Courts were proved wrong they al-
tered them. All this written plan of order
agreed well with the requirements of the
people, so there was no difficulty in esta-
blishing it as law, although the freemen who
were busy with  their fields and crops some-
times murmured at having to attend to the
Courts.
Time, which changes  all things, wore on,
and at another clay you shall hear what
change it made in the  manners and customs
of the English,  but amidst all these changes
the laws which King Alfred gave his people
have left their mark upon the character and
institutions of the English of the present
day, and make men still talk of him as the 
good King Alfred.

quired by Government.

pahi, kia ai hoki ko taua tangata whenua
hei whakakapi mo taua tangata ke, ina kitea
te he; a ki te tae ki te wha tekau ona ra i noho
ai, me tuhituhi tona ingoa ki te pukapuka o
tetahi hono.
Whakaturia ana hoki e Kingi Awherete
he Kooti whakawa, whakaritea ana kia toru
marama i te takiwa o unahi nohoanga o te-
tahi nohoanga o taua Kooti. Ko nga tikanga
mo nga mahi rori, mahi waapu, hanga whare,
me nga mahi nunui katoa o te iwi, he mea
whakarite i reira i te nohoanga o aua Kooti,
ko nga whakawa hara me nga he katoa ka
whakaritea e ana Kooti. Ko te kai-whaka-
rite tumuaki o enei Kooti, he mea whakatu na
te Kingi; tokau ma rua hoki nga hoa kai-
whakarite; na tonoa ana enei e te Kai-whaka-
rite tumuaki ki tenei wahi ki tenei wahi, hei
rapu i te tika i te he o nga korero e kawea
mai ana ki a ia mana e whakarite, a meinga
ana hoki me kawe mai e te tangata whakapae,
e te tangata hoki i whakapaea, te hunga i kite
i te meatanga hei whakarongo i a raua korero.
Kotahi hoki te Runanga nui rawa, ' Ko te
runanga o nga tangata mohio.' Ko nga
tino rangatira me nga tangata whai whenua
anake i uru ki tenei; e rua nga nohoanga o
te Kingi ratou ko taua runanga i roto i te
tau kotahi whakaaro tikanga ai; ki te kitea u
ratou i he te whakaritenga a tetahi o nga ru-
nanga iti, ara, a aua Kooti ra, na, ka whaka-
ritea ketia e ratou, ka whakatikaia. Ko enei
 tikanga katoa i tuhituhia nei, pai tonu ki ta
te iwi whakaaro, na kona waiho tonu iho hei
ture, kahore he raruraru, kahore he aha.
engari ka komemememe nga tangata ngaki
whenua, ka mea, he whakararu i a ratou i
meatia nei kia haere mai ki nga kooti ki te
mahi wkakarite, mahue noa iho nga mahi.
Heoi, taka haere ana nga tau me te puta
ke ano te ahua o tenei mea o tenei mea,
kahore hoki he hanga i tuturu tonu tona ahua,
waihoki ko tenei, tuku iho etahi tau kua
whai ahua ke ano i tenei i korerotia ake nei.
Hei tetahi atu rangi ka korerotia ki a kotou
te whai ahua ketanga o nga tikanga o to Inga-
rani iwi. Otira, ahakoa rereke te ahua o nga
tini mea, e mau ana ano nga tohu o ta Kingi
Awherete mahi whakatakoto tikanga kei nga
ture o Ingarani inaianei, na, whakahuatia
tonutia ana tona ingoa inaianei, ko Awherete,
ko te Kingi pai.

AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 15TH TO THE 30TH APRIL.
The latest intelligence from Australia,
dating to the 19th of the month, gives any-
thing but an encouraging report of the
Commercial prospects there. At Sydney,
business was slack; at Melbourne, it was no
better; and, at Adelaide, it was duller in
every department than ever. In the Mar-
kets there was no alteration, wheat, flour,
potatoes, and other produce remaining at
Ihe prices stated in our last.
At Sydney, on the 9th of April, it was re-
ported that there was a tendency towards a
rise in the prices of flour and wheat, but up
to the 19th no such advance had taken
place; and the Melbourne dealers insist that
this endeavour to force a rise proceeds en-
tirely from a desire of the  Adelaide growers
to keep back their produce for higher prices
—an attempt,  in which the Melbourne buy-
ers affirm they will fail, as there are large
supplies of corn, according to their asser-
tions not only in South Australia,  but in
Tasmania and Victoria likewise. These as-
sertions, however, are at variancce with the 
estimates formed in Sydney; but in the
meanwhile, the prices of wheat and flour are
as high at Adelaide, as at Melbourne, a cir-
cumstance of very unusual occurrence.
We are glad to observe that wheat from
our own coast is coming much more freely
to market, although it is to be regretted that
a considerable quantity has been greatly in-
jured whilst being harvested.
Of native-grown maize, however, there is
scarcely a sample to be met with, and if we
be correctly informed, instead of looking

forward to this grain, as we have been long
accustomed to do, as a prolific and import-
ant means of export, we are likely to have
to import that as well as our wheat from a
foreign shore, This is a very disheartening
state of affairs, and unless promptly reme-
died cannot fail to entail disastrous results.
But let us hope, now that seed time is at
band, that the most strenuous exertions
will be made to compensate at next harvest
for the unfortunate deficiencies of the 
present.
