THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS
ROYAL.

On the 25th January. of this year» an event
look place in England, deeply interesting to
the whole nation. A Royal marriage was
celebrated. The Bridegroom, Prince Fred-
eric William, is nephew to the reigning
King of Prussia, and ia all probability, will
one day himself ascend the throne of that
kingdom. The youthful Bride is the
Princess Royal of England, Victoria Ade-
laide, eldest daughler of Queen Victoria
and the Prince Consort, better known to
the Maori people as Prince Albert. Her
Royal Highness was born in 1840 and is
therefore now in the 18th year of her age.

TE KARERE MAORI.

Her Majesty's subjects in New Zealand,

Maori as well as Pakeha, will not fail to
share in the universal joy manifested on

the occasion of this marriage of the eldest
daughter of England's Sovereign. The En-

glish newspapers are full of glowing ac-
counts of the proceedings in connection
with the ceremony. A very brief sketch of

these is all the " Karere" can offer to its
readers.

The ceremony  was performed at the
Chapel Royal at St. James' (one of the Royal

Palaces in London) by the Archbishop of

Canterbury, assisted by the Bishops of Lon-
don, Oxford and Chester, and the Dean of

Windsor, in the presence of a large number
of noble and illustrious visitors including the

parents of the Bridegroom the Prince and
Princess of Prussia. The Royal apartments
in the Palace were splendidly decorated.
In Abe throne room was an elegant table
covered with rich crimson velvet cloth with
blue cords  and tassels upon which the mar-
riage register was signed. The Chapel was
most beautifully decorated with flowers,
Though a cold winter's day, the space be-
, tween Buckingham Palace,  the residence of
the Royal family, and Sr. James' Palace,
where the ceremony was to be performed.
was crowded with eager spectators of all
classes . Every face wore a smile and the
whole city seemed to rejoice. There were
flags waving, bells ringing and guns  firing at
frequent intervals  throughout the day. The
streets were thronged with light-hearted pe-
destrians all bending their steps in one di-
rection and evidently resolved on entering
heartily into the joyous spirit of the day. In
the evening the whole city was illuminated.

Prince Frederic William had arrived in
England from his own country a short time
previous to the day fixed for the marriage
and was an inmate of Buckingham Palace on
the eventful morning. Shortly before noon
the carriages containing the bridegroom,
his parents the Prince and Princess of Prus-
sia and the principal guests from abroad left

Buckingham Palace to proceed to St. James.
These were soon followed by Her Majesty's
procession, in nine Royal carriages, the first
containing the Prince of Wales, Prince Al-
fred and other members of the Royal family,
followed by the great officers and ladies of
the Royal Household, The light carriage
contained  the Bride who was attended by
her sister, the Princess Alice and her great
Uncle the King of the Belgians. Then came
the carriage drawn by cream colored horses;

the cry was heard, " the Queen !" and the
loud cheers of the multitude rose into the
air.Her Majesty was accompanied by her
mother the Duchess of Kent.

At the entrance to St. James' Palace a
temporary colonnade covered with crimson
and yellow drapery bad been erected under
which the carriages drove and the Royal
party alighted before entering the Palace.
Within, in front, rose the grand staircase
covered with rich crimson carpet. At the
top on the right was. the bride's  boudoir,
sparkling in white and gold and its walls
furnished with costly mirrors. Beyond,
through a pair of folding doors, were seen
the state apartments beautifully decorated
with flowers, several of them through which
Ihe processions were to pass to the Chapel
lined with elegantly dressed spectators, prin-
cipally ladies, who had been admitted to the
Palace. One of. the galleries had been
devoted exclusively to young ladies and
looked very brilliant. The order of the
processions having been formed, the differ-
ent parties preceded by drums and trum-
pets, passed on through the state rooms and
the lines of splendidly dressed ladies and
gentlemen stationed in them, to the Chapel.
First came the Princess of Prussia, the
mother of the bridegroom, with her atten-
dants. The Queen's procession followed in
the centre of which walked Her Majesty
lending the Princes Leopold and Arthur and
followed by the Princesses Louisa, Alice,
and Helena. Next followed the procession
of the Bridegroom, Prince Frederic Wil-
liam, who was supported by his father the
Prince of Prussia. After a short interval
came the procession of the Bride who was
supported by her father the Prince Consort
and her great uncle the King of the Bel-
gians. The train of the bride was borne by
eight unmarried daughters of Dukes, Mar-
quisses, and Earls. We cannot attempt to
describe the deeply interesting ceremony in
the Chapel. The marriage service was read
by the Venerable Archbishop of Canterbury
in a most impressive manner and the Royal

pair exchanged their mutual vows of love
and fidelity.

At the conclusion  of the ceremony the
newly married pair left the Chapel together.
while the band of music played a wedding
march. A grand feu de joie was also fired
from the guns in the Park. The Royal party
returned to. Buckingham Palace at about
half-past one amid the most enthusiastic ex-
pressions of joyful congratulations from the
crowds of spectators through which they
passed. In the afternoon of the same day,
Prince Frederic William and his Bride pro-
ceeded to Windsor by the Great Western
Railway to take up their temporary abode
at Windsor Castle. At Windsor the Royal
party were received with joyful acclama-
tions. A ball was held in the evening in
the town hall which was brilliantly illumi-
nated. A large number of the poorer in-
habitants were regaled with substantial fare
in a large tent erected for the purpose and
on the following day 2000 poor children of
the town were entertained in a similar man-
ner. After a few days stay at Windsor
Castle the Prince and Princess returned to
Buckingham Palace and on the 2nd Febru-
ary left the shores of England for the land
which is henceforth to be the home of the
Princess Royal of England.

Manawatu,
November 26, 1857.

Friends, both European and Maori,
have seen io the  "Maori Messenger" com-
munications by certain Maories making
known their thoughts. I therefore consid-
ered that it would be right for me also to I
express my sentiments. Listen then. I do
not approve of selling up a Maori King, it
will not succeed; it is better now to submit
to be guided by the Government, as it was
that saved as from many evils. Let
the New-Zealand Chiefs be called Rangatiras,
but not assuredly by the title of King.
The King is a name suitable only to the
good and true, and who are able to guide 
and instruct their subjects. It will be
better for us to commit the management of
our own affairs to the pakeha who has
elevated us, and whose peculiar work this is.
to raise and elevate the people.

Had any Chief of former times discovered
the means of advancing the people, and
maintained bis position up to the present
lime, this talk about a Maori King might
appear more reasonable, as it is, let us

ka Wiremu me tona wahine marena hou ki

E nga tangata Maori. e nga Pakeha.
Kua kite ahau i te Karere Maori, etahi kupu
i tuhituhia e nga tangata Maori hei whaka-
atu i ta ratou whakaaro, no reira hoki ahau

engari, tukua ki te Kawanatanga te ritenga

whakaora mai i roto i nga mate kikino o
tenei ao. Engari ko te Maori, me whakahua
tona ingoa ko nga Rangatira Maori, kaua
e kiia ko te Kingi. He ingoa tapu

pono o te whakahaere i ona tangata ki te

acknowledge the sovereignty of the Queen
only. The English law removed two evils
from us,—evils which prevailed among our-
selves, and the danger of evil from other
countries. By the hoisting of the British
flag in New Zealand we are protected from
the coming among us of bad people from
other lands. For this reason my heart
greatly rejoices in this people, because of
the evils which they suppress and avert.
Hence, I say, what is the Maori King to us?
I have no sympathy for that Maori work.

With that I will have nought to do. 
My thoughts have another object.
1 will not embark in the Rahuru.
For that canoe is overladen.

Friends, I admire the Pakeha customs, and
their kindness to the Maories of New Zea-
land. My heart is full of admiration of the 
goodness and kindness of the people of 
England. They came to this country and
found us in ignorance, strife, and all kinds
of evil.

Had they not come to our island, we should
have become worse, for, even now, we have
not got rid of evil altogether. It is there-
fore my opinion that we should be satisfied
to live under the same government as the
Pakeha. That which keeps the Maories
in a state of ignorance is the want of energy
in adopting these Pakeha customs, which
have been so often recommended to us.
Wherefore I think, my Friends, that we
should adopt those good customs of the
Pakeha which tend to the preservation of
peace and the union of the two races as one
people Let the attainment of these be first
sought that each may be bound to the other

in the bonds of amity, that is, let the Maori
heart submit to be guided by the good
customs of the Pakeha that it may be seen
that we are a people advancing in good, in
wisdom, and in knowledge, and able to carry
some system. One good thing of the
Pakeha's is the practice of settling diffe-
rences amicably by submitting them to
arbitration, the Maori way is by quarrelling,
which is a very bad one. The superiority of
the customs of English people in many other
respects is plainly seen by the Maories.

For my part therefore I have determined
to follow the custom of these Europeans.
There is now no other hope for the Maori.
Where shall, we go to carry out anything in
opposition to the Pakeha and his system.
If we attempt it we shall fail; let us rather
give our support to the just: and - true laws
of our gracious Queen, in whom both

Pakehas and Maories may place confidence
for the yoke is now upon the neck of the
Maories of New Zealand. I mean by the
yoke, the system of the Pakehas which will
tame and civilize us.

FRIEND MR. SMITH,—

What I am about to say to you is not of
any great moment, but it deserves notice.
I am thinking of ihe practices which we
Maories still maintain and will not give up.
I refer to the tauas about women and
widows, the tauas for Maori curses, and a
variety of other evils which are gaining
strength under the new order of things, the
thoughts of the  people are still too much
turned to those unprofitable works of dark-
ness. For this reason I have wished that 
the system of the law should be upheld and
that these words of mine should be pub-
lished. Let that which is right be set forth
in the same way as the words of our friend
Mr. Chapman who is urging the Maori peo-
ple to become industrious. It is well that
advice should be given us and if it be re-
jected the fault is ours. If you approve of
these words, let them be published, if not,
reject them. This is all I have to say at
present.

From your Friend,

MITA! PENE TAUI.

AGRICULTURAL COMMERCIAL AND
MARITIME REPORT.

FROM THE 15TH TO THE 31ST MAY.

There has been but one arrival from Aus-
tralia since our last report; the brig Missie
from Melbourne, which  is loading with
potatoes and kauri gum for that port.

From the commercial circulars published
at the date of the sailing of the Missie,
(April 26) we learn that the import market
continued very dull no semblance of specu-
lation existing, and purchases being confined
to the bare requirements of the hour. A
sale of about 200 tons of good brands of
flour bad taken place, the prices varying from
161. to 161. 5s, per ton. Sales of American
flour in barrel had been effected at 171. per
ton. Oats were in request. Blocks having
been much reduced, and no arrivals to any
extent having lately occurred. Colonial
grown oats were worth from 7s. to 7s. 6d.
per bushel.

A valuable discovery has recently been
made with respect to the planting of pota-
toes, by which it is affirmed that disease is
prevented and the quantity of the produce

THE MAORI MESSENGER

TE KARERE MAORI,

not only largely increased but the
quality of the potato much im-
proved. The plan, which has been
successfully tested in several places, and
which it might be well of our own native
growers to try, is as follows:  The potato
sets are cut in the usual way, but before
being put into the ground, a small hole is
cut in the heart of the set and a pea firmly
fixed therein. Wherever tried and rows
have been planted adjoining each other,
some with and some without the pea—the
result has, always been in favour of those
with the pea, no disease existing, and the
produce being much larger in quantity and
finer in fllavour; whilst on the other hand.
those rows which had been planted without
the pea were smaller in quantity and affected
by disease—nor is this the only advantage
said to be gained by this method,—for the
pea comes to maturity before the potato, and
 large and excellent crops of peas were
gathered. The experiment was tried with
perfect success both in England and in
Scotland at places some six or seven hun-
dred miles distant from each other, and
having been found so highly beneficial by
British farmers it is certainly well worthy
of a trial in New Zealand.

The arrivals have been the brig Missie,
197 tons, Captain Reynolds, with sundry
merchandise, and 1 passenger from Mel-
bourne; the barque Breadalbane, 224 tons,
Captain James, from Nova Scotia, with 160
passengers: this is an exceedingly fine and
beautiful vessel, and has been added to the
list of ships belonging to the port of Auck-
land, having been purchased by Messrs.
Henderson and Macfarlane; she has sailed
for the Bay of Islands for a cargo of cattle
in consequence of Captain Tautari's schooner
the St. Kilda being laid up at the Wahapu
to he repaired; the schooner Osprey, 47
tons, Captain Hunt, at Manukau, from
Nelson and New-Plymouth, with 148 sheep,
200 bushels grass seeds, 40 kegs butter, and
7 passengers.

The departures have been the schooner
Ann, 57 tons, Captain Martin, with 54 tons
firewood, 5 kegs butter, 5000 bricks; the
schooner Emily Allison, 99 tons, Captain
Ruxton, with 7500 bricks, 13, 000 feet sawn
timber, 91 tons firewood, and 5 passengers:

both for Port Napier The schooner Sybil,
108 tons, Captain Kelly, with 70 tons pota-
toes. 500 bushels bran, 600 Ibs. cheese,
10, 000 feet sawn timber, and 1 passenger;

the brigantine Bristol, 150 tons, Captain
Thompson, with 30 tons kauri gum, 90, 000

te mea ka ngakia peratia te riwai, ekore e
pa te mate, a, ka nui atu te huanga, ka tino
pai hoki nga riwai. He tini nga wahi i
whakamatauria ai, a, pa! tonu. Ka pai
pea kia whakamatauria e nga Maori ngaki
riwai. E peneitia ana. E wahi ana te
kopura kia rua ka poka ai i tetahi kowao ki
waenga pu, muri iho, ka kuhu i tetahi pi ki;

roto ki taua kowao. He maha nga rarangi riwai
kua whakatokia, hei whakamatauranga, ko
etahi i meatia ki Ie pi, ko etahi i whaka-
tokia maoritia, piri ana tetahi ki tetahi, a,
te hauhakenga, papai ana era i meatia ra ki
te pi, ko te hua, i hua, ko nga riwai i papai
tonu, a, kahore hoki i pangia e te maki
riwai: ko nga mea ia i whakatokia maori-
tia kahore nei i kuhua te pi, i pangia era e
te mate, a, kaore hoki i tino hua, tenei hoki
tetahi, pai o tenei tikanga; erua nga huanga
o te whenua kotahi, inahoki ko nga pi ka
hohoro te pakiri, tona tini, he pi papai, muri
iho ko nga riwai. Kua whakamatauria ki,
Ingarani ki Kotirani. ki tera wahi, ki tenei
wahi, a, pai tonu. Kua kitea nei te pai ki
Ingarani, a ka pai ano kia whakamatauria
taua tikanga whakato riwai ki Niu Tirani
nei.
