PEACE AND GOOD WILL!
We read as follows in a paper printed in
London, whose pages are devoted to the
interests of Australia and New Zealand, and
which treats of the unhappy slate of this
country arising from the much to be regret-
ted and ruinous strife of the tribes.
"At the time of the discovery of New
Zealand, the native population was rapidly
decreasing, forfor their bloody feuds and end-
less system of retribution had at last so
multiplied, that every man's hand was
literally against every man.
The writer then goes on to congratulate
his reader that " those days have now
passed," and dwells with much satisfaction
on the many valuable points of the native
character, "a race," be says, " full of many
great and noble qualities, with an aptitude
for civilisation never before met with. Such

a race as this, independent of its real value,
commercially and socially , in New Zealand,
is worthy of being preserved and being
trained to those nobler purposes which it is
so well calculated to fulfil and which it will
yet be enabled to discharge."
These are the just, the kind, and con-
siderate sentiments of a writer situated at
the opposite end of the earth; and these
sentiments are precisely those of the English
government and people towards their native
brethren of New Zealand. It is the earnest
desire of all classes to behold the native race
advancing in arts and industry. and in the 
enjoyment of peace, plenty, and prosperity.
We wish that we could confirm the state-
ment of this friendly writer that the days of
strife have passed away. How happy should
we be that the eyes of all the tribes were
opened to their best interests here and here-
after and to the conviction that the musket
is the very worst instrument they can possi-
bly employ in the redress of grievances
which reason and humanity can only set at
rest.
• What can be more distressing than to re-
count the details of senseless mutual slaugh-
ter?—to listen to the wails of both parties
over their untimely slain. In these san-
guinary conflicts, which side becomes the
gainer? Who are to be the inheritors of
the disputed soil if the work of vengeance is
to have no end save with the extermination
of one or more contending tribes? If the
Government and the Europeans were not the
sincere friends of the native people, instead
of striving to inculcate mutual forbearance
and good will, they would be apt to fold their
hands and look quietly at contests which, by
weakening the native power, gives strength
and augmented superiority to their own.
The system of exasperating tribe against
tribe has been followed in other lands. We
will name ona or two instances, to show
bow, with nations less scrupulous than the
British, discord has been fomented amongst
the native born, in order that the intruders
might seize the lands and destroy the liber-
ties of the unwise combatants.
Such a system was pursued by the Spanish
warrior Cortez, who invaded Mexico, a
great and populous country, with a few
hundred soldiers; profitting by the mutual
jealousies and animosities of the native races,
be roused them to active and inveterate
hostility against each other, and, when
weakened by mutual slaughter, he took
possession of their capital city, and held
them in complete dependance to his will .
nga whakaaro o te Kawanatanga me nga
tangata o Ingarani ki o ratou teina Maori i
Niu Tirani.
Ko te hiahia tonu tenei o nga tangata
katoa, kia neke haere nga Maori i te mohio-
tanga i te ahuwhenua, a, kia noho tonu i
runga i te rangimarie, i te whai rawa, i te
pai. Ka pai me he mea e ahei ia matou te
whakapumau i nga kupu o tenei tangata
aroha, ara, te kupu nei: kua pahure nga
rangi o te whawhai. Ka hari matou me he
mea ka marama nga, kanohi o te Maori ki
te titiro ki nga mea e taka ai te pai ki a
ratou ki tenei ao ki tera atu hoki;  me he
mea ka mohio pu  ratou, ko te hanga kino
rawa nei be pu, hei whakaaora i nga mate,
hei rapu utu mo nga kino e pa ana kia ratou,
ka taea nei e te whakaaro, e te aroha te
whakamarie.
 Ko te aha koia i kino ake i tenei, ko te
whakahua i nga tikanga o te mahi patu
kuare tetahi i tetahi, te whakarongo ranei
ki nga aue ki nga tangi o tetahi o tetahi,
mo nga tupapaku? Ko tehea taka e whiwhi
ana i roto i enei parekura whakamaringi 
toto? Ka mahue koia ki a wai te oneone
me he mea ka mau tonu te mahi rapu utu
nei, a, no ka ngaro noa etahi o nga iwi, ko-
tahi ranei e hia ranei? Me he mea ehara te
Kawanatanga me te Pakeha i te tino hoa na
te Maori, ekore rawa e tahuri atu ki te
whakamarie i a ratou, ki te karanga atu kia
houhia te rongo, engari ka kotuia nga ringa
ka titiro marire atu ki nga Maori e Whawhai
ana e whakaruhiruhi ana i to ratou kaha. e
tukua ana i te mana me  te kaha kia riro i te
Pakeha. Kahore o te Pakeha whakaaro
penei, tana i pai ai kia noho mari re nga iwi
Maori katoa, tetahi ki tetahi.
Kua whaia ano tenei tikanga ki etahi
whenua i tawahi, ara, te mahi whakapatari-
tari riri, kia whawhai ai nga iwi, tetahi ki te-
tahi .
Ko etahi ka korerotia e matou, kia ki-
tea te mahi o etahi iwi kihai nei i rite ki to
te lngarihi, te tika o nga whakaaro, ara, te
mahi whakapataritari riri i roto i nga tan-
gata tupu o te whenua, kia riro ai i a ratou
te whenua, i te hunga i haere pokanoa atu,
kia whakataurekarekatia e ratou te hunga e
whawhai kuare ra. I penei te tikanga o to
te Paniora toa o te Koteoi, i haere atu
ki te whawhai ki Mehiko he whenua nui
rawa, he tini noa iho nga tangata; kihai i
maha nga rau hoia i te ope o Kotehi, roko-
hanga atu e tuahae ana, e noho ngakau kino
ananga iwi o taua whenua. Ka whakahaua e
Kotehi kia tino whawhai tetahi ki tetahi; a,
no ka kahakore noa ratou i te whawhaitanga

Francisco Pizarro, another remarkable
and unscrupulous Spanish leader, accom-
plished the conquest and occupation of Peru,
in precisely the same manner. He invaded
that country, teeming with gold and silver,
with a mere handful of determined, despe-
rate, men. The country was torn by native
wars. These the Spaniards promoted and
encouraged, and in the long run the natives
were stript of their lives, their lands, their
liberty, and their gold, and became the
slaves and the prey of their wily  conquerors.
How very different from this is the wish
of the people and Government of New
Zealand. Here, the constant and strenuons
endeavour is to reroncile the contending
tribes to each other;  to demonstrate to
them the wisdom of law, the insanity of war;
and to urge them to peaceful co-operation in
working out the best interests of all castes
and classes. It is because of this christian 
desire, that we deplore the melancholy state
of affairs so ruinously existing in Taranaki
—which has spread so much misery and
desolation around Whakatane—and which
has filled Ahuriri with lamentations  and woe.
Why should these things continue? Where-
fore should the Maori persist in the work of
extermination, forgetful of the heavenly
command— to increase and multiply  Why
should their brother's blood cry from the
ground against them? Even on its grand-
est, and what is called its most glorious
scale, war is the curse and scourge of the
nations . But these Maori contests are not
wars. They are but remorseless butcheries
which lower the character and ruin the
prospects of all concerned in them. Oh,
that the tribes would ponder these truths;
that the head men would take counsel with
each other, and mediate between the
opponents. Let the kindred tribes
unite for the maintenance of
peace. So will the warriors of
New  Zealand  prove their title to be con-
sidered great as well as good men; and so
will they elevate their  country  to a point of
opulence and prosperity such as it is hope-
less to expect it to attain whilst its dearest
interests are recklessly sacrificed in indul-
gence of wicked and worthless revenge.
katahi ka whakatika a Kotehi, riro ana i a
ia to ra tou pa nui me te mana koki o te
whenua, riro katoa ia ia .
Ko Paranahiko Piharo tetahi o nga Ranga-
tira maia o te Paniora, he mea pera ano nana i
mate ai te whenua, nei a Peru, a nohoia ana
e ia hei whenua moni. He ope iti rawa to-
na ope i tana haerenga kite whawhai ki ta-
ua whenua, ki tonu na i te koura i te hiriwa,
he maia kau ano ia aua Paniora.
Rokohanga atu e ia e noho whawhai ana
nga iwi o taua whenua tetahi ki tetahi. Ka
mahi nga Paniora ki te whakapataritari kia
nui haere ai nga riri, a roa noa ka poto po-
to te nuinga o taua iwi ki te mate, riro ana
to ratou whenua, to ratou rangatiratanga,
me to ratou koura, a -waiho ana ratou hei
pononga mo te hunga whakawai i mate ai
ratou.—Tera ke te hiahia o te Kawanatanga
me nga Pakeha o Niu Tirani. Ka tino ma-
hi tonu rato u ki te wawao i te hunga wha-
whai, ki te hohou i te rongo, he whakaatu ki
a ratou i nga painga o te Ture, i te kino o te
whawhai, a, he mea tonu kia ratou kia uru
tahi ki te whakahaere i nga tikanga e tau ai
te pai ki nga tangata katoa. Na tenei hiahia
i runga i te whakapono i pouri ai matou ki
te mahi whakakino tangata, whakapouri nga-
kau e mahia mai nei ki Taranaki; te mahi i
kino ai, i tokato kau ai a Whakataane; i aue ai,
i tangi ai a Ahuriri. Mo te aha koia i mau
tonu. ai enei mea? Heaha koia i lobe tonu
ai te Maori ki tenei mahi huna i te tangata «
wareware noa ki te kupu o te Atua, kia nui
haere, kia tini haere nga tangata? Mo te
aha koia kia tangi mai te reo o te toto o ora-
tou teina i roto i te whenua? He mea kino
tonu te whawhai, ahakoa nunui, ahakoa whai
kororia, e tau ana te kino ki nga iwi katoa.
Tena ko nga parekura Maori Rei, ehara i te
tino whawhai, hua atu, he kohuru kino i te
tangata, ko te mahi tenei e hoki ai te ingoa
o te tangata, e utaina ai be kino ki nga tan -
gata e uru ana ki roto. Aue! te hurihuri
ra te Maori i enei kupu pono, te huihui nga
tino rangatira ki te wawao i te hunga wha-
whai. E nga ri me tuhonohono nga
-iwi o Niu Tirani, kia whakapumautia te
houhanga rongo; hei reira ka kiia nga toa
o Niu Tirani,  he ingoa nui he tangata pai,: a
ma reira ka kake ai, ka rangatiratia ai to ra-
tou nei whenua; e kore rawa tenei e taea
me he mea ka whakarerea tonutia nga tika-
nga pai, ka whai tonu i te mahi  huhua  kore
 nei, te mahi rapunga  utu.

AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 15TH TO THE 31ST MARCH.
It is no very easy matter, at the present
moment, to form anything like a true
conjecture respecting the price at which
agricultural produce is likely to rule during
the approaching winter. The latest advices
from Australia are puzzling on this subject;
for, whilst they represent the stocks of flour
and grain imported from abroad as rapidly
diminishing, whilst they acquaint us that
their own home grown wheat is arriving
very slowly in the market. and whilst they
furnish us with fresh accounts of failure of
the harvests in many of the most productive
parts of South Australia, the Melbourne

papers assert that the inclination to a rise
in that market will not be maintained and
that prices during the season will fall below
what they now are. For our own part we
cannot discover why this fall is likely to
occur. In Melbourne, they admit that
importations must take place; but, if the
crops in South Australia, Tasmania, and
New South Wales have partially failed,
we should imagine that a rise and not a
decline ia price must inevitably ensue.
Flour was more io demand and firm at 171.
for fine quality, and wheat ranged from
6s. to 6s. 9d. per bushel. Potatoes are
said to be scarce, and the prices quoted,
both in the Sydney and Hobart Town mar-
kets, are from 101. to I11. per ton.
The December Mail from Europe has
arrived, and the advices received are of a
more satisfactory character. The violence
of the great commercial storm was subsi-
ding, and trade returning to its usual
channels. There seems to be a more
cheerful tone in the  Australian colonies, and
with renovated energy on their parts, there
will be a renewed activity on our own
Vast  numbers of the labouring classes
had been thrown out of work in Great
Britain, and an extensive  emigration to
Australia and New Zealand was likely to be
the consequence.
In the provision trade, there are we
think, discernible symptoms of a reaction.
Teas and sugars are still high, but it is 
thought that they must ere long return to a
more legitimate level.
We have had various arrivals since our
last, and among these are the schooner
Sybil, 108 tons, Captain T. G. Kelly, with
goods and 13 passengers from Sydney; the
fine ship Joseph Fletcher, 672 tons, Captain
Pook, with a general cargo of merchandise
and 150 passengers from London;  the
schooner Emily Allison, 99 tons, Captain
Collins, with sundry goods and 19 passengers
from Melbourne; the schooner Esther, 54
tons, Capiain BIair, from Wellington and
Port Napier, with sundries, and 16 passen-
gers; the brigantine Leveret 147 tons, Captain
Benedict,from San Francisco and Honolulu.

It is reported that the steam ship William
Denny which was stranded near the North
Cape in March 1837 is so far advanced in
her repairs that she is expected to be got
afloat again in a few weeks, and then proceed
to Sydney to refit. Mr. Scott who has con-
ducted those repairs  has, we are informed,
been greatly assisted by the Chief Noble and
his people, and is therefore much obliged to
them.
We subjoin the Market prices current,
corrected to date.
