TIME, which never stands still, whether we
are industrious or indolent  has again brought
us to the close of the year. The " Karere"
goes forth for the last time in 1858 with its
message to the Maori public. What shall
its subject be? An old friend is about to leave
us; in what words shall our adieus be spo-
ken? A new friend is on the point of arrival;
what shall be the form of our welcome?
To the old year our farewell shall be,
" Go, and bear with thee the record of good
and of ill, of sorrow and of joy, of successes
and of failures, of wisdom and of folly, of
improvement and of declension, which thy
sun has witnessed. Many faces, Pakeha and
Maori, which were bright when thou  vast

me nga tau, te ai ona wa taringa; nana tatou
ka mangere ranei ka urupu ranei ki te mahi,
kahore ona mangere; hihiko tonu te rere o 
nga rangi, koia tenei ka taka nei ki te huri-
nga o te tau. Tenei hoki ka tukua ata te 
" Karere" whakamutunga o te tau nei ki te
kawe korero ki nga Iwi Maori. Me aha ra

pehea be poroporoaki ki a ia? He hoa hou
tenei meake ka tae mai; me pehea he wha-

tawhito ki te tau e whakapahure atu nei,
" Haere, mauria atu te rongo o te pai o te
kino, o te pouri o te hari, o te tika o te he,
o te matau o te kuware, o te tupu o teheke;

new to us are now bidden for ever. Go to
thy place, to be numbered among the years
that are past."
To some of us the past year has
brought prosperity, to others, loss and
disappointment, to all, experience and to
many, let us hope, wisdom for the future.
To most of us it has given opportunities of
improvement more than have been availed of.
 It has brought us genial seasons, sunshine
and showers, seed time and harvest, summer
and winter, and if these have been less bene-
ficially productive than they might have been,
the fault lies at our own door. Many of us
might now he much better off than we are
bad we made the most of the advantages
which Providence has placed within our reach
or received them with grateful hearts and
willing hands. On the whole, however,
we think our old friend 1858 can testify to
a fair proportion of good. Among other
things, to the growth of a friendly feel-
ing between the Maori and his Pakeha neigh-
bour as each becomes better acquainted with
and learns to understand the other. We
believe also that our Maori friends who have
recently bad the means afforded them of at-
taining some knowledge of the laws of Eng-
land evince a growing disposition to conform
to these just laws, a disposition which must
become universal before the truth can be
realised that the Maori and the Pakeha are
henceforth but one people. The year 1858
has done its full share 10 hasten this consum-
mation. The replacement of the flagstaff at
Kororareka by the Ngapuhi was a deliberate
and most unmistakable declaration to all New
Zealand as to what that tribe think will be
most to the advantage of the Maori people.
The Ngapuhi have been and will be followed
by other  tribes in the adoption of opinions
similar to their own. They have generally
taken the lead among the tribes. They were
the first to embrace Christianity. They were
katoa, a be tokomaha pea o tatou kua wha-
kawhiwhia ki te mohio. Kaati hoki ra hei
whakaaro noa ake, tena pea he tokomaha o
tatou kua whai matau 1 roto i te tau nei hei
matauranga mo nga ra e takoto ake nei. He
wa mahi ano a te tau nei i homai ai ki a ta-
tou, tona tini, hei pekenga ake mo tatou ki te
pai me i ata whai whakaaro tatou ki te mahi;
heoi, pahure noa ake, te whai pata ma te ri -
ngaringa,  Homai i ana hoki ko nga rangi
pai, ko nga ra paki ko nga ra ua, ko te wa 
whakato ko te wa hauhake, a me he mea ka-
hore i nui te whai hua, ehara i te tau te he;
na tatou ano. Me i ata tupato etahi o tatou
ki nga homaitanga a Te Atua ki a tatou i ro-
to i te tau nei, kua neke ake tenei he ahua
pai, kua whiwhi ke ake ki nga mea pai, a ra,
me i whai ngakau whakapai atu, me i whai
 ringaringa kakama hoki ki te mahi. Heoi ra,
e mea ana matou, he pai ano tetahi wahi o te
 rongo e mauria atu e to tatou hoa, e te tau
1858. Ko tetahi pai, ko te tupu tonu o te
aroha o te tangata Maori o tona hou Pakeha,
i te mea ano ka, taungatia raua ka mohio
tetahi ki tetahi. Tetahi pai hoki ko etahi o
o matou hou Maori kua kite i etahi wahi ti-
kanga o nga Ture o Ingarani, a kua tupu ake
te whakaaro kia waiho aua ture tika hei kai
arahi mo ratou. Ko te whakaaro tika tenei.
a kia tangohia ra ano e te tokomaha ka tahi
ka kitea te pono o te kupu e meatia nei, hei
Iwi kotahi te Pakeha te Maori. Na te tau
nei i whakatatatata tetahi wahi. Puta ana
ta Ngapuhi, kihai i awangawanga kihai i
ruarua; matakitaki ana mai nga Iwi katoa o
te motu nei ki tana whkaaranga i te kura
ki Kororareka hei tohu mo taua whakaaro.
Kua oti tana: kite ana nga Iwi i tana i wha-
kaaro ai hei pai mo nga Iwi o Niu Tirani.
Ko tana whakaaro ka tangohia hoki e etahi
atu Iwi; 00 mua the ano hoki tenei tikanga
whai a nga iwi i tana. Nana te Whakapono
i tango wawe, he muringa era atu iwi. Na-
na ano hoki i whakamatau wawe te kakari ki
te Pakeha; kitea ana te he, na koia tenei ka
whakina nuitia ka whakaaetia hoki, koia,
he ara he ano tera: tino puakina ana e ia,
te ai be rapurapunga o te ngakau ki te pono
o taua kupu.
Tetahi pai hoki kua kitea e te tau ka pa-
hemo nei, ho nga whawhai a etahi o nga Iwi
Maori kua mutu. Tenei te meinga ake e te
ngakau, tena pea kua iro nga kai hapai i
aua pakanga, kua whiwhi pea ki tetahi wahi
matauranga: a muri nei ekore pea e pera te
hohoro ki te hapai i te pu hei whakaoti i a
ratou wahi tautohetohe. Waiho ra me titi-
ro. Tera atu ano hoki etahi tohu pai kua
kitea i roto i te takiwa o to tatou hoa o te tau

also the first to try opposition to the Govern-
ment which was found to be a great mistake
and has been acknowledged by them as such
in a manner which can leave no doubt of
their sincerity. The past year has also wit-
nessed the termination of several Maori feuds.
We may hope that those who were engaged
in them have gained wisdom by experience
and will be less disposed in future to attempt
the settlement of their differences by an ap-
peal to the musket. Other signs of improve- 
ment have appeared during the stay of our
friend. In several places the Maori people
have made considerable efforts towards the
support of their teachers. This is well, and 
shows that some of our Maori friends appre-
ciate the advantages of instruction, and are
willing to give their labour and money to se-
cure them.  We can also congratulate the
Maori people on the decrease of drunkenness,
among them during the past year. This evil,
however, is far from eradicated, but
we believe it to be growing less, and that
many of the chiefs and leading men are sel-
ling their faces against it with a determination
to put  a stop to it. These efforts will, we doubt
not, meet with encouragement from the Gov-
ernment which has done its best to place in 
the hands of the Maories means of protection 
against this and other evils introduced into
this country by the Pakeha. The past year
has furnished many instances lending to shew
that our Maori friends in observing the con-
duct and practices of their Pakeha neighbours,
are learning to distinguish between that
which is, and that which is not worthy of
imitation; also that, in seeking to acquire the
property of the European, they are learning
to choose the useful rather than those things,
the possession of which was sought more to
gratify vanity than to serve any beneficial
purpose. Upon the whole we think the year
1858 has seen an improvement in the cir-
cumstances of the Maori people generally
which if not so marked as might be wished
yet affords to their friends ground for hoping
that they will continue to advance, and that
each succeeding year may see them taking a
higher and still higher position in the scale
of civilization. The past year has been char-
acterised by considerable activity in the 
Maori mind. Many of the thoughtful and
intelligent have been looking for a straighter
path than that which their fathers travelled.
In several places attempts have been made
to construct a new social system to supply
the place of the old Maori one which every
year is more fully seen to be a wrong one,
and numbers fewer advocates. In the search
ka taka atu nei. Kei etahi wahi kua w h
ringaringa nga tangata Maori ki te mahi i
etahi mea ma o ratou kai-whakaako. He pai
tenei. Na tenei hoki i kitea ai kei te mahara
ano etahi o o matou hoa Maori ki nga pai o
te whakaako, a kei te whakaae ano kia ma
hi, kia hoatu hoki i te moni, hei whakawhi-
whi i a ia ki taua mea pai. Tetahi atu pai e
kitea ana hei take haringa ngakau, ma tatou
ko te kai-waipiro a nga tangata Maori kua
iti haere i rota i tenei tau. Ekore e meinga
kua pehia  rawatia tenei kino,- kahore; en-
gari ki ta matou whakaaro e iti haere ana, a
be tokomaha hoki o nga rangatira me nga
kai-whakahaere tikanga kua aronui te wha-
kaaro ki te pehi. Tena hoki e whakapai-
ngia ta ratou mahie te Kawanatanga, ko tana
ano hoki tenei, he whakawhiwhi i a ratou ki
nga tikanga hei arai atu i tenei nanakia me
era atu kino hoki i tae mai ki tenei whenua i
te Pakeha. Kua kitea ano hoki i roto i te tau
ka pahure nei e nekeneke ake ana tetahi wahi
nga tikanga whakaaro a etahi tangata Maori
i runga i ta ratou ata titiro mai ki nga mahi
a nga Pakeha; kua tupu ake he mohio mana
ki te ata kohikohi i a te Pakeha mea pai hei
tauiratanga mana, ki te whakarere i ana mea
kikino; kei te whainga hoki ki a te Pakeha
taonga kua mohiohio ake tenei ki te kowhiti
i nga mea e kitea ona hua, ka waiho nga
mea huhua-kore heoi nei ona tikanga nei
whakapehapeha kau noa the. Heoi, mahara
ana matou kua neke ake ano tetahi wahi te
ahua o nga tangata Maori i roto i te tau, 1858;
nana ka iti te nekenga ake, heoi, meinga
iho hei putake whakaaro ma o ratou hoa, tena
pea e neke tonu, taka he tau, me te taea ano
tetahi wahi ake i runga i te huarahi o te pai
o te matauranga. Tetahi mea hoki i kitea i
roto i te tau nei he hiringa ngakau no nga
Iwi Maori ki te kimi tikanga mana. Kimi
ana i tetahi huarahi tika, he konukenuke no
te ara i haerea e ngu tupuna. I te whaka-
matamatau etahi ki te hanga tikanga hou
mana hei whakakapi i te wahi o te tikanga
Maori o mua, Kitea ana, i tenei tau i tenei
tau, he he rawa taua ritenga tawhito, me te
torutoru haere ona kai hapai. Kimi ana i
te huarahi tika; kotiu ke ake etahi, me pehea
hoki u ana i te whenua tauhou kaore nei kia
takahia e te waewae. Wawata noa etahi o
nga hoa ki Waikato kia pokaia he ara mana,
te kitea hoki tona mutunga, kuhu noa ki ro-
to ki te ururua. Kei te mahara matou tena
ia e kite, tena ia e whakaae, heoi ano te
huarahi tika mana ma te Maori, ko tenei e

after the right path it is not to be wondered
at if some mistakes are made, as the ground
is new and untrodden. Some of our Wai-
kato friends have talked about striking out
a path for themselves, the end of which no
one can see, and in a direction quite imprac-
ticable. We doubt not they will yet become
convinced that the right path is the one upon
which they are invited to walk side by side
with the Pakeha, and that safety will be best
found by sitting down quietly with him under
the shadow of the British flag and British law.
Meanwhile we believe that most of them are
earnestly in search of good and not of evil,
and 60 far they are deserving  of praise.The
man who opens his eyes and looks about him
is more: likely to find the truth than be whose
eyelids are closed by indolence and sloth.
We turn from the past to the future, from
toe parting to the coming guest, from the old
to the new year. In Maori style we welcome
the new year 1859, "Welcome. unknown
stranger, with thy store of months and days
and hours, bringing us fresh opportunities
of doing and of seeking good, of opposing
and of vanquishing evil.We know not what
thou bringest us, what good or ill our eyes
shall look on during thy stay with us, or who
among us may see thy close. Yet, Welcome."
In Pakeha style, the " Karere Maori"
wishes all its readers,. "A happy new year."
INDIA.
In the June and July numbers of the Ka-
rere, our readers were furnished with a brief
sketch or India, and the war which England
has been carrying on there against the rebel
Sepoys. They will be interested to learn
that this war, though not yet terminated, has
been carried on with continued success to
the British arms. The rebels have been
driven from place to place; wherever
they have met our troops, they have
been defeated and driven back, with
heavy loss both of men and guns. In
one day, the 8th of October, they were
defeated at three different places. On the
other hand the successes of our troops have
been attended with losses so comparatively
slight, that the heathen Sepoys themselves
are astonished, and ascribe it to Divine inter-
position in our favour. They say to each
other. " Great is the  Christian's God." The
te whakamarumaru o to Ingarani kara, o to
Ingarani Ture hoki. Hoei, e mea ana
matou, ko ta te tokomaha, he rapu pono, a
he pai ano te kimihia ana e ia ehara i te kino,
no konei ka tika kia puta te whakapai mona.
E pai ana kia manana ake nga mata kia tiro-
tiro nga karu, penei e kite te tangata i teta-
hi wahi o te pono, tena ko te tangata ka moe
ona kanohi i te mangere noa the, ekore tena
e kite mea mana.
 Ka tahuri atu tenei te tuara ki te wa ka
mahue atu ki muri, ka hangai te titiro ki nga
wa e takoto mai ki te aroaro. Ka oti ki te
tangata haere atu, ki te tau tawhito, ka anga
te kanohi ki te tangata haere mai ki te tau
hou. Waiho me whakatau atu te manuhiri:
karangatia te tau e haere mai nei, a 1859.
"Haere mai, te manuhiri mata hou, mauria
mai o marama,o ra, o haora, hei wa kimi-
hanga hei wa mahinga ma matou i te pai, hei
wa whawhaitanga hei wa taminga ma matou
i te kino. E kore e kitea tau mauranga mai;
e kore e mohiotia nga pai nga kino e kitea e
te kanohi i roto  i ou ra, e kore e matauria
kowai e kite i tou mutunga. Ko tenei, heoi
ra, haere mai!"
Ta te Pakeha, ko te "Karere Maori"
owha atu nei ki ona hoa, te mea atu nei
"Kia nui te pai me te ora ki nga hoa i roto
i tenei Tau Hou."
INIA.
Kei nga " Karere" mo nga marama o Hu-
ne o Hurae e mau ana nga korero mo tera
whenua mo Inia, me nga korero mo te wha-
whai a te Ingarihi ki te iwi tutu ra, ki nga
Hipoi; tena pea e manakohia enei rongo e o
matou hoa tangata Maori. E kiia ana, aha-
koa kahore ano i ata mutu noa te whawhai,
e riro tonu ana te papa i nga hoia o Ingarani.
E whatiwhati tonu ana hoki aua Hipoi nana-
kia ki tera wahi ki tera wahi, i te mea ka
tutataki ki o matou hoia, hinga tonu te pare-

last news from India is to the effect that ac- 
tive preparations are being made for a cam-
paign in Oude, which seems to be the only
place where the rebels now dare to face our
troops. The rainy season, which in India
puts a stop for a time to all out-door opera-
tions, was over and the troops were about to
proceed to that Province. The result of this
campaign will probably be the complete de-
struction and final dispersion of the rebel
force. Lord Clyde is the name of the Com-
mander-in-Chief. 1858
THE VISIT OF THE AUSTRIAN FRIGATE
NOVARA.
For the first time since its discovery. New
Zealand has been visited by a ship of war
belonging to the Austrian nation. Those of
our Maori readers who have acquired any
knowledge of English history, will know
that this nation is oue of England's friendly
neighbours. The Austrian Frigate " Nova-
ra " entered Auckland harbour on the even-
ing of the 32nd. Although a ship of war
her errand is one of peace. She has on
board a number of gentlemen who have
been sent out by the Government of their
country to visit and examine the various
islands and countries of the earth whose in-
habitants and productions are but imperfect-
Iy known to science. The particular object
of the Novara's visit to New Zealand is the
examination of the recently discovered coal
fields at Papakura and other places, but
while here, the scientific gentlemen we have
spoken of, are industriously employing them-
selves in collecting and examining every thing
which is curious new to them. Very
many things both curious and new are to be
found in New Zealand. The " Novara" has
on board 540 men. The expedition is com-
manded by Conmodore  Wullerstorf, and has
been out since April of last year, since which
time it has visited many places, among others,
the Cape of Good Hope, India, China, and
Sydney. From the Cape, where Sir George
Grey is Governor, the " Novara" has brought
some of the aboriginal inhabitants or Kaffirs,
who have been shipped as sailors. Our
readers will remember a short account of
this people and their country, which ap-
peared in the" Karere" of February and
March 1857. The Commodore is anxious
that some Natives from New Zealand also
should accompany the expedition on its on-
hihiri ana te mahi a o matou Hoia kia wawe

ingoa o te tino Rangatira  o nga Hoia.

katahi tonu nei ka kitea tetahi Manuwao
o A taria ki Niu Tirani, no te orokokitenga

katahi tonu. Tena e maharatia e nga tanga-
ta Maori kua mohio ki te korero whakapapa
o Ingarani, ko tetahi tenei o nga iwi e whaka -
hoa ana ki te Ingarihi. No te 22 o nga ra
o tenei marama i tapoko ai te Manuwao o
Ataria ki te wahapu o Akarana. Ko te
" Nowara" tona ingoa. Ahakoa he kaipuke
whawhai tenei, no te rangimarie anake tana

nua hei tirotiro i nga motu i nga whenua ka -

Ko te tino take i rere mai ai a te " No-

ports on the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and
finally return to Europe, completing her tour
of circumnavigation in about a year from
this time.
RETURN OF WILLIAM MARTIN, ESQ,
TO NEW ZEALAND.
There are few of our readers who nave
not become acquainted, either personally or
by report, with Mr. Martin, formerly Chief
Justice in New Zealand, and one of the tru-
est friends and well wishers to the Maori peo-
ple. Many will remember that  serious  illness
caused him to visit England some three years
since. His return to this country in compar-
atively restored health will be welcomed by
all his friends, Pakeha and Maori. Mr. and
Mrs. Martin were passengers  by the ship
"  Kingston" from London, which arrived
here on the 28th of this month.
AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 15TH TO THE 31 ST DECEMBER. 
Our last advices are from Sydney to the
18th, and from Melbourne to the 14th inst;
The Flour and Grain Markets  remained in
an inactive state, with a tendency towards a
farther decline in prices.  The harvest was
at band, and though some districts are said
to have suffered a good deal from drought,
Ihe prospects of the incoming crops, as a
whole, are considered to be by no means
unfavourable. The latest Adelaide prices
are, flour, 161. 10s. to 171 10s.; new wheat
6s. 9d. At Melbourne flour ranges from
181 to 201.; wheat 8s. 3d. to 8s. 6d. At
Sydney, flour was 181. to 201.; wheat 7s. to
7s. 9d.; bran 2s.
The  arrivals during the past fortnight have
been numerous and important. And fore-
most among them, we may mention that of
an Austrian frigate. the Novara of 44 guns,
and 1200 tons. This is the first ship of the
great nation to which she belongs that has
ever been seen in the South Pacific Ocean.
She is not, at present, a fighting ship, but
engaged in a voyage of scientific discovery
undertaken for the information and improve-
ment of all mankind. Several of our Native
readers have had the pleasure of being in-
troduced to Commodore Wullerstorf-Urbair,
rere atu te "Nowara" i Niu Tirani, ka-
ahu te rere ko Tahiti, ko Hawaii, ko etahi o 
nga wahapu o te taha ki te Marangai, o te
taha ki te Auru o te pito whakarunga o Me-
rika, muri iho ka hoki ki Oropi. Heoiano
ka whakaotia tana kopikopiko ki nga wahi o
te ao, i roto i te tau kotahi e haere ake nei.
HOKINGA MAI O TE MATENGA KI NIU
TIRANI,
Ko te tokomaha o o matou hoa korero
nei i tenei Niupepa kua mohio ki a Te Mate-
nga, ko te tino Kai-whakarite whakawa hoki

nga Iwi Maori, he nui tonu whakaaro pai ki
a tatou. Kei te mahara pea etahi ki te ha-
erenga o Te Matenga ki Ingarani  ka toru
nei nga tau o tona haerenga  ka hoki mai nei.
He mate nui te take i haere ai, kua oraora
ake tenei. Tena e hari ona hoa Pakeha,
Maori hoki, ki a ia ka hoki mui nei ki Niu
Tirani. Eke mai ana raua ko Mihi Matenga
i runga i te kaipuke i a te "Kingitana",  i
rere mai i Ranana, no te 28 o te marama
ka u mai ki konei.
