e meinga ranei kia utu e te Kooti mo tetahi
hara e ahei nei te whakawa e te Runanga
Huuri i runga i nga tikanga o tenei Ture,

MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 15TH TO rae 30m SEPTEMBBB.

For Ihe last month, there have been no
arri va!s troni any of the Australian ports,
with tbe exception of ihe brig Veniure, and
as she brought neilher lellers or newspapers
we are unable to furnish our rcaders with
any. intelligence respecting the Auslralian
markets.

The most cbeeriof circumstance, at the
present moment, is the successful develop-
ment of tbe coal discovery of which we
made mention in onr last number—a dis-
covery which cannot fail lo exercise the
most beneficial influence over (he immediate
inleresis of New Zealand. The coal has
been tried oh bpard tbe Wliiie Swan steam
ship, where fires were lit quite as readily as
with English or New ?ontb Wales coal, and
without any of tbe sulphurous and nnhealiby
odours emitted-by ihe coal of Massacre Bay.
One buodr«id tons have been ordered tor the
purpose Ofworking tbe While Swan on ber
next voyage from the Manukan, and, as
soon as. these coal mines are fairly opened
and it becomes geoerally known that steam
coals can be obtained in Auckland, we may
expect 10 find not only steam ships eutering
our harbours to supply themselves with
fuel, but coal ships putting io tor ihe ear-
goes of fuel which at preseot are almost
exclusively to be had in New South Wales.
A country rich in coals cannot Tail ia become
a great and wealthy one. .Coals are ihe
insirumenis which impart life« light, beat«
action to countless brancbes of frade, which
are yet altogether unknown to NewZealanl.
By coals, nonr mills, saw mills, flax mills,
engines tor freeing cop?er, coal, and olher
mines trorn vater, will be driven at a much
less cost and with tar more powerful effect,
and when they can be obtained in the
country, instead of impoverisbing it by
being purchased from abroad^ they will
quickly a!ler the whole face of affairs, giving
an enwgy and activity to the reople in the
