VOL. III] AUCKLAND, APRIL 30. 1857.—— AKARANA, APERIRA 50, 1857. [No. 4
His Excellency Governor Gore Brovvne, ac-
companied by the Hon. the Colonial Trea-
surer, the Native Secretary, and Lieut.
Shipley  of the 58th Regt., has recently re-
turned from a visit to the  Waikato and
Waipa Tribes.
The Governor and party left Auckland on
Monday the 13th of April, and reached the
banks or the Waikato the same evening:
where Te Wherowhero's son, Matutaura Te
Tapuke, was waiting with tents pitched,
canoe and crew ready, to convey His Excel-
lency up the Waikato.
On the 14th, encamped at a small place or
Te Tapuke's, two miles below Rangiriri.
On the 15th,called at Waitutu, where
Pene Te Wharepu, the chief of that place,
*
and Te Kereihi gave His Excellency and
parly a kind reception. In the evening,
No roto i nga ra nei ka hoki mai a Kawana 
 Koa  Paraone ma i te haere ki Waikato ki
Waipa  hia kite  i nga iwi tangata Maori o
reira. Ko nga hoa haere ko Te Retimona,
ko Te Makarini,  ko Te Hiperi rangatira
 whakahau hoia o te pa 58.
No te Mane, no te 13 o Aperira ka wha-
katika atu i Akarana. a taea ana te awa o
 Waikato i taua ra tahi; rokohanga atu ko
Matutaera  Te Tapuke, tama a Te Whero-
whero e tatari mai ana me   te tu nga teneti
me te waka ano me nga tangata hoki hei hoe
 i a Te Kawana ma ki te awa o Waikato. 
Ao ake te ra. i te 14, ka hoe, po the, ka

 maero i raro mai o Rangiriri, ka moe i reira.
No te 15, ka  ki Waitutu, whakamanu-
hiritia ana a Te Kawana ma e nga rangatira

reached Taupiri, Mr. Ashwell's station,
where the following coy was spent in ex-
amining the Native School, which  is so well
conducted by the zealous and indefatigable 
missionary at that place.
On the 17th, proceeded up the river;
calling at Takerei's settlement, the Waka-
paku. The Chief himself was absent on a
visit to the  Ngatimaniapoto Tribe. Taraha-
waiki and Paratene received Ins Excellency
with cordialily. These chiefs  expressed
their anxiety to have a simple code  of re-
gulations or laws for the better government
of their own people at the different villages
on the Waikato;—and a hope that his Ex-
cellency would  appoint an English Magis-  
trate to preside over and direct them in ad-
ministering justice in their local courts. 
They assured his Excellency of their wil-
lingness to aid such a functionary in carry-
ing out and enforcing' the judgments of such
courts; which should be hold periodically 
or as frequently as occasion might require.
The same desire  to have laws was ex-
pressed by the people of Whatawhata, where
his Excellency encamped on the evening of
the 17th. The Whatawhata village is sit- 
uated on the banks of the Waipa; the Na-
tives there appear very industrious; they
have large stacks of wheat, well secured
from cattle-trespass by good fences, and a
considerable breadth  of land under cultiva-
tion. Old Pohepohe, the Chief, a man of
grcal rank and inHn"ncc, liad H-moved fro;n
Whatawhata io iho Maiingalaui.ari disiritt.

sight of the village, the  natives tired a volley
of musketry, which was continued until 
within a few yards of an archway at the!  en-
trance of the village, which was decorated
with green boughs, with the  English flag
flying in the centre.  On each side of this
entrance double files of vvell-dressed Natives,
with muskets in hand, were stationed, and
the Rev. Messrs. Garavel and Powell, accom-
panied by the good old Chief, Hoani Papita,
presented an address of welcome to his
Excellency, whose reply was read  by the 
Native  Secretary:  the address and reply 
will be found in another part of this
number.
In passing on to the Rev. Mr. Garavel's a
loud song of welcome, accompanied by a
waving of shawls and blankets was got up by
a group of natives, headed by the chief Hori
te Waru, whose part of the  settlement,—
(after calling at the  Rev. . Garavel's) His
Excellency  visited; and was received by the
Natives there with  three hearty English
cheers and afterwards conducted to a well
 finished Native house, belonging to Munu
where a plentiful repast of roast and boiled
fowls, roast pigs, fresh eels,  and vegetables,
well-baked bread , tea, and other food was
provided.
The chiefs requested Bis Excellency to
accompany them to see their young men
ploughing, as a proof of the  advantages they
were deriving from the aid afforded to them
by the Government to enable them to pro-
cure ploughs, cans and other agricultural
implements.
The cordial welcome which His Excellency
received at Rangiaohia, combined with  the
neat tidy well -dressed appearance of the in-
habitants,  and their evident advance, as dis-
tinguished from many other tribes, will not
fail to make a lasting impression on all Eu-
ropeans and natives who were present on
this occasion.
After spending a day in visiting Mr Bat-
tle's station, and other place's on the Waipa,
His  Excellency returned by way of Kirikiri-
roa, to Taupiri; and on the following morn-
ing, reached Waitutu; where Te Wherowhero
and other influential chiefs had a long and
interesting conference, at which they urgently
requested that the Governor would appoint
an English Magistrate for the Waikato Dis-
trict:— and cause a simple code of laws to
be framed for the better administration  of
justice amongst them.
Te Wherowhero,  notwithstanding his
age and declining strength, spoke   with great
vigor;   and exhorted the;  natives to look up
rangatira kaumatua pai, a Hoani Papita
homai ana ta ratou taki ki a Te Kawana
Whakahokia aua ta Te Kawana, na Te
Makarini i korero a Te Kawana. Kei era
wharangi o te Karere nei taua taki me ta

Haere atu ana ki o Te Karawera kainga
me te whakahuatia  mai te karanga ki te
"manuhiri tuarangi" me te powhiri mai ki
te hooro ki te paraikete, ko a te Maori ko
ana ritenga karanga manuhiri. Ko taua
rangatira ko Hori Te Waru ratou ko
tona iwi nana tenei powhiri. Ka lay ki
to Te Karawera, muri iho  ka haere ki
to Te Waru taha o te kainga, fast aua, tangi
ana te " hipi hipi hurei " a te iwi ra, me he
mea na te Pakeha ano. Na, arahina ana ki

EXAMINATION OF NATIVE SCHOLARS.
THE Annual Examination of Scholars from 
the various Native Schools in connection
with the Church of England Board of Edu-
cation, took place at St. Stephen's, Taura-
rua, on the 28th and tvvo following days of
the present month. Twenty-five pupils,
male and female, were carefully examined
by his Lordship the  Bishop of New Zealand,
assisted by an examiner appointed by the 
Managers of the Schools, in the various
branches of education taught in the Schools
where they had been instructed; and it is
but justice to say that they acquitted them-
selves most creditably. Some of the scholars
came from the  Rev. Mr. Maunsell's  school at
Kohanga, Waikato; others from the Rev.
Mr Ashwell's at Taupiri, and the remainder
were pupils  of the Rev. Mr. Kissling, at St.
Stephen's School.
On the last day of examination many Eu- 
ropean friends of the Maori people were pre- 
sent, including his Excellency the Governor
and Mrs. Gore Browne, the Honorable the 
Colonial Treasurer, Colonel Wynyard, and
many others, and afforded an opportinity to
the scholars of shewing to the public that the
labour bestowed upon them by their teachers
had not been lost. Most of them were able
to spell and pronounce English words cor-
rectly, and many to translate  Maori sen-
tences into English, writing and reading the
translations. Nearly all showed themselves
familiar with the first four miles of Arith-
metic—Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication
and Division; while some of the more ad-
vanced had mastered the difficulties of sim-
ple and double Proportion. In Scripture
History and Geography they gave proof of
having had the benefit of careful instruction,
missing very few questions put to them
under these  heads. Most of them could
readily point out on the map, and name in
English, the  various countries of the world,
giving their products, principal rivers, etc.,
and indicating the different routes from
hoki taku korero ki a ia; "He iwi kotahi
to iwi e noho ana i Nui Tireni, e Te Kuini,
a, ko te noho, e noho ana i runga i te whai-
rawa i te ora, i runga ano hoki i te aroha
me te ata rongo ki o tikanga.
UIUINGA TAITAMARIKI MAORI NO NGA
KURA.
No te 28 o nga ra o te marama nei ka
whakaturia te karaihe taitamariki Maori mo
nga kura, na to te Hahi o Ingarangi Ru-
nanga tiro tiro Kura. Ia tau ia tau, ka
whakatakotoria tenei karaihe taitamariki kia
uiuia kia whaka matamatauria to ratou mo-
hiotanga ki nga mea i whakaakona ai ratou.
I tenei tau, whakaturia ia ana ki a Tipene, ara,
ki to te Kihiringi kura i Taurarua. Erua
tekau ma rima  nga akonga taitamariki, he
taane etahi, he kotiro etahi. Uiuia marietia
ana e Te Pihopa o Niu Tireni raua ko tetahi
kai uiui i whakaritea e nga kai whakahaere
kura. Whakamatauria ana to ratou mohio-
tanga i runga i nga mea i whakaakona ai
ratou i nga kura i noho ai ratou, a pai  ana,
kitea ana hoki kua ngoto ano te ako, kua
whai  mahi. Ko etahi o aua  taitamariki, no
i to Te Mahihera kura i Kohanga, Waikato;
ko etahi no to Te Ahiwera, i Taupiri; ko
etahi, he akonga ra Te Kihiringi, no reira
ano, no te Kura i a Tipene. Etoru nga ra e
uiuia ana. No te toru o nga ra ka huihui mai
etahi  hoa Pakeha ki reira, whakarongo ai, ma
takitaki ai. Ko te Kawana raua ko Mata
Koa Parnone, ko Te Retimona, ko Kanara
Winiata, kowai, kowai, i reira. Na, ka ai
he whakakitenga atu ki te tini mo te mohio
o aua akonga, mo te whai huatanga hoki i
runga i te mahi nui a o ratou kai-whakaako.
I taea e te nuinga te tatau-a-reta me te wha-
kahua tika nga kupu reo Pakeha; na etahi,
ko te korero reo Maori, whaka reo Pakeha
tia iho, tuhituhi  rawa, korero tonu atu.
Mohio rawa  te nuinga ki nga ture whika e
wha, ara. ki te Huihui, ki te Tango, ki Ie
 Whakatini, ki te Wehewehe. Ko etahi,
tango tonu atu ki nga mahi whika o ma
 rawa. Kei te uiuinga i runga i te Korero
Whakapapa o te Karaipiture, kei te korero
hoki i nga Whenua  o te ao noi, kitea nuitia 
ana kua ata whakaakona  mariretia ki enei,
 ina huki, torutoru nga panga i kore te mau,
kei te nuinga ka hopukia tonutia mai; tohu-
tohu marie ai ki runga ki te Mapi nga tini
vvhenua, whakahua rawa nga ingoa ki te reo
Pakeha; korerotia mai  ana nga mau o era
wahi, whakatakina haeretia ana hoki o te
kaipuke ara mai i Ingarangi ki Niu Tireni,

England to New Zealand, overland and by
sea.
At the close of the examination, His Ex-
cellency requested the Bishop to tell the 
scholars that he was much pleased  to see
the progress they had made, and that he
hoped they would continue to advance, and
to make good use of the opportunities af-
forded them of acquiring the most valuable
of all possessions—knowledge.
We wish many of our Maori friends
could have witnessed this examination. We
think it would have led them to prize edu-
cation more highly than they now do, and to
he more anxious to procure it for their
children. Those who have the opportunity
within reach will, in future, we hope, show
themselves more careful to improve it, and
grateful both to those who are engaged in
the  work of instructing their children, and
also to the Government which contributes to
the support of these schools.
Once more we say to our Maori brethren
—See that your children be instructed.
Suffer them not to grow up in idleness and
ignorance. Where there are schools, send
your children to them. Where there are
no schools, rest not until you get them. The 
same kind of effort which is being daily put
forth to procure vessels, mills, horses, carts,
threshing machines and other things, at
present so eagerly sought after by the Mao-
lies, would procure the services of the 
Schoolmaster. The land which lies waste
and unproductive would, if cultivated, grow
food for both teacher and scholar. The
money now wasted in extravagance and
upon trifles would purchase those materials
required for building school-houses such as
windows, doors, nails, etc., which the  Maori
cannot provide for himself without the help
of the Pakeha The time how too often spent
in idleness, gossip, profitless discussion, and
works of no practical utility, would, if pro-
perly applied, be more than sufficient for
erecting the necessary buildings, fencing and
bringing under cultivation enough land to pro-
duce food for the support of a school. Were
a fair proportion of labour, land, money, and
time thus devoted, an application might be rea-
sonably made for assistance, it required, and
we believe it would not be refused. We
wish. however, to see the Maori people take
up the matter themselves, and show what
they are able and willing to do for them-
selves, remembering the old proverb —
Ka mutu te uiuinga. ka mea atu a Te
Kawana ki a Te Pihopa kia whaka puakina   
tana kupu whakapai, me te hari o tona  nga-
kau i te kitenga ai kua whai takiwha ake nga
tauira nei i runga i te ara ki te matauranga.
Taua pai hoki kia mau tonu ki taua huarahi,
me te neke tonu hoki. Me matapopore nui
ratou ki tenei taonga nui e whakawhiwhia  nei
ratou; ara, kite matamaranga; kei mangere,
kei ngakau kore, erangi, kia kaha tonu, kia
maia tonu.
E mea ana matou, e pai me i tokomaha
nga tangata Maori ki te matakitaki i tenei
uiuinga kura. Penei e matapopore nui ki
tenei mea ki te kura hei whakaako i o ra tou
tamariki. Ko te iwi kua whai kura ki o
ratou kainga tera pea e ata aronui marire ki
aua kura, i runga ano ia i te ngakau koa.
Tera pea e ngakau whakawhetai atu ki nga
tangata aroha nui e mahi tonu nei ki te
whakaako i o ratou tamariki, a, ki te Ka-
wanatanga ano hoki nana i whakaahuru.
Na, ka hokia ano la matou kupu ra ano,
ekore e mutu te tohe tonu ki tenei kupu;
ko nga tamariki, Ma whakaakona. Kaua e
waiho noa kia tupu ake i roto i te mangere 
i roto i te kuware. Kei nga wahi whai
kura me tuku nga tamariki ki te kura. Kei
nga wahi kore kura, me mahi nui e te wha-
kaaro kia taea tera taonga, te kura. Na te
whakaaro nui me te uaua to ano i taea ai nga
kaipuke, nga mira nga hoiho, nga kaata.
nga pana nga tini taonga a te Pakeha e
whaia nuitia nei e nga tangata Maori i tenei
ra; a ma taua uaua ano, ma tana whakaaro
nui ano, ka taea te kaiwhakaako mo  te kura.
Ko te whenua e takoto tuhea kau nei, ko-
raha nei, me i ngakia, mana e whakaputa
ake he kai hei oranga mo te kura mo te kui
whakaako hoki; ko te moni e whiu-whuia
whakaarokoretia nei hei hoko  whakatakohe
hanga hanga noa, mei tohungia. mana   e tiki
nga mea hei hanga i te whare, ara nga moa
kaore nei i a ia i te tangata Maori. Ka oti i
 aua moni, nga wini. nga tatau, nga titi, me
ena atu mea. Ko nga tini rangi e pau noa
iho nei i te mangere, i te kawe korero, inga
korero me nga mahi huhuakore, me i waiho
hei rangi mahi, tena e oti rawa nga whare te
hanga, tena .e oti rawa te whenua te taiepe,
te mahi hoki hei tupuranga kai mo te kura.
Me he mea e peneitia ana, e whakatapua
ana e nga tangata Maori tetahi wahi o te
uaua, tetahi wahi o te whenua, o te moni, o
te taima hoki, hei whakataenga mo tenei
taonga nui mo te kura, nui atu te pai. A

TE KARERE MAORI
" A man values more, and uses more, that
which his own hand has procured for him-
self, than that which has been given him by
another."
Let not what has been said bo thought 
unkind, or as implying undue censure. We
are aware that some of the Tribes are giving
attention to these matters, that they are both
alive to their wants, and preparing to pro-
vide for them in the proper way. This is |
well.
Let, then, what we have now said be re-
ceived as a word intended to stimulate,  and
encourage rather than to find fault. 
LETTER ON CATTLE AND SHEEP.
MY friends, all the people of the island of New
Zealand. These are my words to you, that
is, my sentiments respecting the actions  of
the Maori race.
The people of this portion of the island—
the north  are not diligent in good works;
they  do not follow the good example of
Europeans, and direct their attention to the
rearing of cattle, and sheep, and to cultivat-
ing their farms according to the  English 
system, which would prove the source of
much wealth. This country is well adapted
for the rearing of cattle, and when laid
down to pasture, for feeding sheep. You
know that the feeding of cattle is very simple,
for they feed upon all manner of herbage,
anil the young fern which springs sponta-
neously whereever the old has been burnt off.
If the money which you now literally  throw
away in the purchase of horses and baubles,
were taken care of, and multiplied until a
large sum were obtained,—cattle purchased,
and care and attention  bestowed upon them,
securing for them a good and extensive run,
they being great feeders,—if the Maories
were to do this, much good would result
therefrom. Think not that the Europeans
only would  profit thereby; no, its chief
benefit would be to them person who entered
upon this undertaking.  If only a small
number of cattle are kept, the returns will 
of course be small; if a large number, the
returns will be great, though you must not
anticipate any profits during the first year, it
may be three or even four years before they 
yield a return 
te te tahi Maori, ekore e whakatupua
te taha Pakeha. Erangi ia, ko ta
matou i pai ai, ko te wahi nei kia maranga i
a ia ake ano i te Maori, kia kitea tona toa me
tona ata tohunga ki te whakahaere i tenei
moa; i maharatia hoki ta mua whakatauki;
" He kai na te tangata, he kai titongitongi;
Mahia e tona ringa, tino kai, tino makona
noa."
Kei whakaaro mai nga hoa Maori ki enei
kupu a matou e hakuhaku ana, e whakahe
ana; kahore. E mohio ana ano matou, kei
te tango whakaaro mana inaianei etahi o nga
iwi Maori, kei te rapu i te wahi e korerotia
atu nei, kua kite i te papa, kua hanga ti-
kanga mo te whiwhi. Ka tika tenei. Heoi,
waiho nga kupu kua pahure nei hei kupu
whakahauhau, kei kupu whakakaha i nga
hoa.
HE PUKAPUKA MO TE KAU MO TE
HIPI.
Ehoa ma, enga tangata katoa o tenei motu
o Nui Tireni. Tenei aku kupu kia koutou,
ara, aku kupu nei na mo nga mahi a nga ta-
ngata Maori.
Kaore nga tangata Maori o enei wahi, ara
ki raro nei, e kaha  ki te mahi i nga mahi
papai—kaore e whai i nga mahi papai a te
Pakeha; e tahuri ki te mahi Kau ki te mahi
i te Hipi, ki te mahi pamu, ara, i ta te Pake-
ha tu pamu na te mea kanui te puta o te moni
mo enei mea. Kanui te pai o tenei whenua
mo te whangai Kau; ki te mahia, ka nui hoki
te pai mo te Hipi. E mohio ana koutou, he
hanga ngawari te Kau ki te whangai, ekai
ana i nga tarutaru katoa, i te rarauhe e tu-
pu pihi kau ana i nga wahi tahutahunga.
Me he mea nga moni e. pau noa iho ana ia
koutou te whiu noatu ki te hoko Hoiho, ki
te hoko mea noa iho nei, e rongoatia ana,
a, nui rawa, ka hoko ai i te Kau, ka tahuri
ai ia ki te mahi i aua Kau—ko te whenua hei
takanga mo te Kau kia nui, kia ahei ai he
takanga, na te mea he mea kai nui
te Kau. Ki te tahuri nga Maori ki te mahi
penei, ka nui te pai —ara, kei ki koutou, te
pai mo te Pakeha, kahore, tona pai mo nga
tangata  nana ano enei hanga. Ki te takita-
hi te mahi  Kau kaore e puta nui nga koha o
nga moni—ki te mahi a nuitia Ie Kau, kati-
hi ka puta nui mai nga koha, kei ki kou-
tou, i te tau tua tahi e puta he moni. Ka-
ore, e kore e ata puta he moni, i mua i nga
taua e toru, e wha ranei.
Tenei ano te tahi pai o te kau, he whaka-
pai i te whenua mo te Hipi.

learned many good things, and had gained
experience. Now let us all, Maori, young
men, and Europeans, take this lesson, that
the means of safely is on them canoe, paddling
at them same time with the hands- If the 
canoe is quitted the  result will be death.
This advice refers to the preservation of life
in them body. But the protector of that boy
was God; and the laker of the spirit of man
is God.
One word more. Let us ever be mindful
of that canoe by which we may be preserved
from them waves of this wicked world
that is, let us hold fast upon Christ.

THE PITCAIRN ISLANDERS.
CHAPTER I.
In them year 1767, when Captain Carteret was
cruising in these seas, a young midshipman
of the name of Pitcairn was them first to dis-
cover what seemed in the distance to be a
tall rock. On drawing nearer, however, it
was discovered to be a small island; but the
tempestuous  state of them waters forbade all
landing upon it. It was named after the
young discoverer, who died shortly after-
wards; the vessel passed on her way, and
nothing was heard of them island for many
years.
The British Government being anxious to
introduce them bread fruit into the West
Indies, despatched a vessel named the Bounty
to Tahiti for plants, of which an abundant sup-
ply was obtained. Calmly the ship sailed on
her homeward  voyage, apparently all peace
and tranquility; but within was smoulder-
ing fire of passion  wailing but an opportunity
to break into  a blaze. Captain Bligh, the
officer command of the  ship, was a man
of harsh and exacting disposition, and kept
his crew in a state of exasperation. At
length, on the 28th of April, 1789, a mutiny
broke out on board, headed by one of the
officers  named Fletcher Christian, a young
man of good family and abilities, but of a
passionate and revengeful spirit. Captain
Bligh and them few men who remained faith-
ful to him  were placed in a boat, with
a small allowance of provisions, and
set adrift on the boundless sea. The un-
happy commander  made a farewell appeal
to the conscience of Christian on the  subject
of his undutiful conduct. His reply ex-
pressed them storm of feeling that raged
mahara tatou nga tangata Maori, nga tama-
riki, me nga Pakeha, ko te wahi hei whaka-
 manawatanga kia man ki te waka, me te hoe
ano ki te ringa. Ki te mea ka whakama-
huetia te waka, ko te tukunga the he mate.
 He kupu tenei mo o tatou tinana kia ora.
Otira ko te kai-atawhai o taua tamaiti  ko te
Atua; ko te kai tango o te wairua o te
tangata ko te Atua.
I Tenei ano te tahi atu kupu. Kia mahara
ki to tatou waka, e ora ai tatou i nga ngaru
o tenei ao kino; ara kia pupuri tatou kia te
 Karaiti.

 I te tau 1767, i te mea e rerere ana a

within, " I am in hell,—I am in bell, Cap
tain Bligh."
Having seen Ihe last of the boat, the 
mutineers turned them head of them vessel back
towards Tahiiti longing for them revelry and
ease they hoped to enjoy. Ere long they
reached the shores, but a new difficultly arose.
How could they account to the  natives for
their unexpected return, and the absence of
their commander and part of the crew?
They followed the  crime they had commuted
with a lie, and told the Tahitians they had
met their old friend Captain Cook, who had
been joined by Bligh and a portion of their
comrades. The unsuspecting islanders  be-
lieved their talc, and warmly welcomed them
to their homes. It was not long, however,
that  they were permitted to enjoy them sen-
sual pleasures they had so fondly anticipated.
Reflection would at times paint them horrors
endured by their late commander and his
suffering comrades on the trackless ocean;
or represent them as safely guided to some
friendly shore,—their tale of vvrong stirring
up the Government to despatch the avenger
of blood to punish them offenders.
The mutineers concluded that it was ne-
cessary to seek a safer shelter than what
Tahiti afforded; so taking on board six
Tahitian men, and twelve women, they again
set sail, leaving some of their comrades be-
hind them. Cain, them first murderer, found
no rest for the solo of his foot, and so it
seemed with this little company. Disputes
arose, mutual recriminations ensued, and
Christian's temper became moody and fitful.
He again landed at Tubonai, and as the fra-
tricide Cain built a city to relieve, by occu-
pation, his mental agony, be caused a fort
to be constructed; but them work prospered
not, and he once more set sail to seek a
spot where he might hope to evade the hand
of justice. Sailing thus hither and thither,
the little island of Pitcairn was reached.
Situated at a great distance from any other
land, and inaccessible, except at certain
stales of them weather, it seemed to promise
seclusion and protection; while its sunny
clime and rich fruits rendered it a most
charming residence. The party landed, and
unshipping their effects, carried them ashore;
all having been removed, and the vessel
stripped of everything they could make any
use of, they set her ou fire and burnt her.

from Melbonrne and Sydney, wliere ihe
crops liovn been found to lie much shoner than
was anlicipaicd. This deficiency Tasmania
lias been unable to supply ; because, dis-
couraged by the ruinons resulls of the over
profluciion of 18.'>o, there has been so lillle
planted there in 1856, that instead of being
able to supply olhers there is not even a
sufficiency tor thcir owii consumption.

no doubt, follow to the great advantage of
our long drooping lrade, unles.s it should be

sible priccs on the parl of llie growers.
Wheat and nour are still low in price in
the Australian markels; ihe lormer, accorcl-
ing to quality, fetches from Cs. to 6s. 9 1. per

!arge stocks of Chilian and Culifornian fioiir
on hand, arid these liave the effect of dc-
pressing the market.
For Barlcy, Oats, Maize, Bran, and all
descriptions of Horse feed there is a slcadv
and increasing demand in the Mclbonrne
markets. and at verv rcm u ne'-a ti ve prices.

can be more favourable tor l!ie growth of

to be a matter of ihe mast scrions considera-
