TURANGA.
Recent accounts from Turanga seem to
indicate that the Natives there from an ex-
ception among the tribes of New Zealand
who have sold their land to Europeans.
In almost all cases where land has been
purchased in a fair and open manner, the
Native sellers have adhered faithfully to
their bargains. The Turanga Natives, how-
ever, though industrious and thriving, ap-
pear disposed to repudiate their contracts
years after they have been made, and after
the Europeans occupying the land with their
own free will and consent, have expended.
time and money in its improvement.
The. Natives of Turanga should remember
that their present wealth and prosperity has
arisen principally from the assistance they
received io past years from the early Eng-
lish settlers who introduced cattle, grain,
and other valuable importations into their
district, and by those means the parties ac-
quired whatever knowledge of agriculture
and management of stock they now possess.

ratou whenua i te Pakeha, maha noa nga
tau i a ia e mahia ana, pau ake ana moni i te

ratou whenua tetahi wahi i whai rawa ai ra-
tou, i ahua rangatira ai; na aua Pakeha hoki

FROM THE 15TH TO THE 30TH OCTOBER.
The latest intelligence from Sydney dates
to the 12th of the present month. There is
little of importance in the news thus brought.
Commercial affairs were in a perplexed con-
dition, neither the English Mail for July or
August having then arrived, although both
were overdue. 
In the produce markets, there was no al-
teration, fine flour being still quoted at £22
and second quality at £20—wheat 8s, 6d.

£15 to £18 per ton.
The intelligence from the new gold dig-
gings, at the Fitzroy River, were not so fa-
vourable as bad been anticipated. This is
by no means surprising when we come to
consider the extraordinary and the enor-
mous rush of people which took place, even
before there were any well authenticated ac-
counts of the extent or productiveness of
the new territory. It is now reported to be
of very limited extent, capable of affording
profitable occupation to a few hundreds only
whilst, at the beginning of October, it was
calculated that there would have been not
less than 10, 000 persons congregated on the
spot. Many had returned to Sydney with-
out ever having gone as far as the diggings;
and the Sydney newspapers were full of the
most doleful letters from diggers to their
friends in Sydney, deploring their rash  folly
in having undertaken such risks without
being better informed of the character of the
country on which they had so blindly pre-
cipitated themselves. But, although most
of the accounts were of a very discouraging
kind, there are other accounts of a more
hopeful tendency, and ships were still sail
ing with full cargoes of passengers from
Sydney, Melbourne, and other Australian-
ports. Much misery and privation is sure
to lake place; for numbers who parted with
their all to reach the Fitzroy Diggings, are
left without the means  to return They
must, therefore, if they  can withstand the
climate, do something to enable themselves
to live on Ihe land on which they have
thrown themselves. 
In our last number,we dwelt on the great
benefit that would result to New. Zealand
from the colonisation of North Eastern Aus-
tralia. Should the  gold fields prove to be a
total failure, of which we have yet no posi-
tive evidence, colonisation will proceed
much more slowly than it otherwise would
do; but, failure of the gold field or no failure,
we feel convinced that a step towards the
colonization of North Eastern Australia has
been made, and we again urge our native
growers to plant— plant   plant—for they
may rest assured of finding a good and ready
market for all their surplus produce.
The arrivals since our last consist of the
schooner Henry, 42 tons, Captain Wallace,
from Napier, with 1 Officer and 18 soldiers
of the 65th regt., and 5 passengers;  the
schooner Emily AIIison, 99 tons, Captain
Ellis, from Wellington, with 2 officers, 24
soldiers, 5 women and 5 children of the
221. mo te tana, mo te tuarua, 201. mo te
witi, 8 hereni me te hikipene, tae noa ki te 9
hereni mo te puhera; mo te papapa, 2 here-
ni, mo te riwai 151., tae noa ki te 181., mo te
tana. Kaore i rite ki ta te tokomaha i wha-
kaaro ai te korero o nga keri nga koura, mea
kite hou ra. Koia ano hoki kia peheatia
hoki i te tini whakaharahara o nga Pakeha
kua rere rukaruka ki reira i te orokokite-
nga o taua koura, kahore i tatari kia ata ra-
ngona te pono o nga korero, te nui o te
whenua me te hua o te koura. Na, katahi
ka mohiotia he wahi iti taua wahi kia hia
nei nga rau tangata hei mahi i taua wahi, ko
tenei e whakaarohia ana, kiu tae ki nga ra
timatanga o Oketopa kua. 10, 000 ka rupe-
ke ki taua wahi. He tokomaha nga tangata
kua hoki ki Poihakena, kaore i tino tae ki
nga keringa: kapikapi ana nga nupepa o
Poihakena i nga pukapuka a nga tangata i 
haere atu ki reira, pouri noa iho te ahua o
a ratou korero. He mea tuhituhi ki o ratou
hoa i Poihakena aua pukapuka, a he kete-
kete te hanga ki to ratou pohehe i haere ku-
are atu ai ki taua whenua i te mea kahore
ano kia ata mohiotia tona pai tona aha ranei.
Ko etahi korero ia i pai a e hono tonu ana
nga kaipuke o Poihakena, o Meripone, o era
atu wahapu hoki o Atareiria, te rere atu ki
reira, tomo tonu i te tangata. Akuanei ka
tokomaha e kite i te mate kai i te he noa
iho, inahoki i pau katoa nga rawa o etahi
hei utu mo te ekenga atu, heoiano kahore
kau he moni hei whakahoki mai, na, ki. te
ora ratou i nga kino o taua whenua, me ma-
hi tonu ki reira tetahi o ranga mo ratou.
Korerotia ana e tera Karere nga pai e tau
ki Niu Tirani me he mea ka nohoia e te Pa-
keha a Atareiria ki te marangai tu a raki.
Kahore ano kia Hao mohiotia te korenga o
te koura, ki te mea ia ka kore, na, ekore e
nohoia wawetia taua wahi, engari ka hua te
koura, ekore e roa. Otira, ahakoa hua te
koura, kore ranei e hua, kua timata te noho
e te Pakeha te tana ki te Marangai tu a raki
o Atareiria, a ka whakahaua ano e matou
nga Maori mahi paamu kia ngaki tonu, kia
