VOL. V.] AUCKLAND. APRIL I5, 1858.   AKARANA, APERIRA 15. 1858. [No. 8
WE have frequently spoken to our Maori
readers about the advantages of holding land
under a Crown title in the same way as the
Pakehas do, and have tried to impress upon
them that the extinguishment of the native
title over large blocks of unoccupied land is
not sought by the Government as a means of
depriving the Maories of their land in order
that it may become the property of the
Pakeha. As we have before stated, the
native title is extinguished in order that the
land may be cleared  of the complications
and uncertainty which attach to all lands
held under the Maori system. After being
acquired by the Government, it is properly
divided into convenient portions for the pur-
pose of being sold to all who may be desi-
rous of buying, both Pakehas and Maories.
In order that our Maori friends may know
what Government lands are open for sale,
we have promised to publish in the Karere
the notifications issued from time to time on
this subject. We accordingly publish the
KUA tini noa iho o matou kupu ki nga kai
korero o te Karere, mo nga painga o te
pupuri whenua i runga i te Pukapuka Ka-
raati a Te Kuini, pera me ta te Pakeha
pupuru whenua. Kua mea tonu ano hoki
matou e hara ta te Kawanatanga e hoko nei
i nga whenua nui takoto kau nei, ehara i
te mea kia riro ai i te Pakeha te whenua a
nga Maori. Kahore; hua atu, ko te take
i hokona ai te whenua, he mea kia whaka-
korea atu te raruraru te aha, e piri nei ki
nga whenua e mau nei to te Maori tikanga i
runga. Ka riro te whenua ki te Kawana-
tanga te hoko, ka tahi ka koti kotia hei
paamu hei pihi boko atu ki nga tangata
katoa e hiahia ana ki te hoko, ahakoa Pa-
keha, ahakoa Maori.
Na, he mea na matou, kia mohio ai o
matou hoa Maori ki nga whenua o te Kawa-
natanga e whakapuaretia ana hei hoko, na
reira, meinga ana e matou kia taia ki te
Karere Maori nga panuitanga whenua e
peratia ana, i tenei wa, i tenei wa. Na,
koia tenei, ka taia nei te pukapuka panui
a te Hupiritene e mau i raro nei, mo etahi
whenua ki Whaingaroa, ki Maungatapere,

following, by his Honor the Superintendent,
referring to lands situated at Whaingaroa,
Maungatapere, Maungakaramea, Karanga-
hape, Waiau and Waiuku; which will be
open for sale after the 8th of June next.
The figures in the left band columns indi-
cate the numbers on the plan, by which the
precise situation of each allotment may be
ascertained. The. figures on the right hand
shew the number of acres, and parts of acres,
contained in each allotment. The maps of
the land may be seen at the Waste Land
Office, but any Maori not understanding
English, who may wish to purchase land,
should apply to the Native Secretary's Office,
where he will obtain such further informa-
tion and assistance as he may require.
Those of our Maori friends who have money
lying unemployed in their hands, cannot do
better than invest it in the purchase of land
from Government, which is sure to increase
in value every year.

HAURAKI.
We have not heard much of late of the
people of Hauraki and their doings. These
have not always been such as we could
approve of, on the contrary they have rather
deserved condemnation, and have gained for
the people an evil notoriety. But we trust
that they are now turning their attention to
things more pleasing to God and profitable
to themselves. Steady industry is calculated
to promote peace, prevent quarrelling, and
the entertaining of evil designs.
We are glad therefore to learn that the
people of Hauraki have during the past
season been busily occupied In cultivating
their lands, and that though hitherto behind
their neighbours in this respect, they have
commenced using the plough . We speak
especially of Kauaeranga and Wai-o-tahi
who have obtained an excellent breed of
horses, well fitted for the purpose. As a
much greater breadth of land can be culti-
vated by the aid of the horse than without it,
we recommend our friends of Hauraki to
persevere in their efforts and also to attend
carefully to the breeding of their horses in
order to secure a stock strong and useful for
draught. Of what use are a number of
small and worthless animals on which our
Maori friends are so fond of riding about, to
no profitable purpose that we can discover,
whereas a larger and stronger race might
not only be ridden occasionally, but also
would be the means of raising abundance of
 food for their owners.
A word to the wise is sufficient. We will
not therefore say more on this subject at
present.

Pohepohe was an old Chief of high rank

E takitahi ana nga rongo e puta mai ana
i Hauraki mo te mahi a o reira tangata; a,
ko nga mahi e rangona ana, ehara i te pai
anake, e whakahengia ana hoki  etahi; a , na
reira ka panui te ingoa kino o taua iwi.
Engari ia tenei kua tahuri pea ratou ki te
mahi i nga mea e manakohia ana e Te Atua,
e tau ai hoki te pai kia ratou. He ahuwhe-
nua, he pin ki te mahi, te mea e noho marire
ai te tangata, ma reira ka kore ai he nga-
ngare, he pakanga; a, ma te ahuwhenua e
arai atu nga whakaaro kino i te ngakau o te
tangata. E hari ana matou no te mea ka
rongo nei matou kua tino tahuri nga tanga-
ta o Hauraki ki te ngaki i o ra tou whenua i
te wa kua pahure nei. I mua, kihai i rite ki
era atu iwi to ratou mahi parau, inaianei, kua
timataria e ratou tenei mahi. Ko nga tanga-
ta ia o Kauaeranga o Wai-o-tahi i tino uru,
ko ratou hoki kua whiwhi ki nga hoiho papai
mo tera tu mahi. Ma te mahi o te hoiho e
nui ai te ngakinga o te tangata. Koia matou
ka mea ki o matou hoa i Hauraki kia tohe
tonu ratou ki te whakatupu hoiho; ara, i
nga hoiho papai, i nga mea e kaha ana ki te
to i te parau i te kaata. Hei aha koia nga
hoiho ririki, kaha kore, e whakaekeina tonu-
tia nei e o matou hoa maori, e whiwhi koia
te tangata ki te aha ki ena tu hoiho? Engari
te mea kaha e whakaekeina ana ano ki te
hiahia te tangata ki te whakaeke, a, ka waiho
ano hoki hei mahi kai kia maha ma te tanga-
ta nona. Kaati ano i te kupu kotahi ki te

tenei mea i tenei takiwa .

of opinion among commercial men. Some
point to the fires and droughts  that have
burnt up and destroyed much of the harvest-
ings. Others contend that this will be com-
pensated by the larger quantities of land that
have been put under cultivation; and are
therefore persuaded that prices will go even
 lower than before. For ourselves, judging
from the  information before us, we incline
to think that there will be neither  great
rise or fall to the price of wheat; no remark-
able fall for the reason that the stocks of im-
ported Hour are rapidly diminishing, that in
South Australia and Tasmania wheat was
coming slowly into market, and reports of de-
fective harvests continued to prevail, and
because, at the prices going for flour, it
would not pay to import from the Chilian
growers.

We are anxious to direct the attention of
our native readers to the large and valuable
cargo shipped  for London by  the William
Watson; more especially to the considerable
quantity of wool,—an invaluable article of ex-
port which we rejoice to perceive is steadily
on the increase, and which cannot be too
carefully or perseveringly cultivated. It is
to wool that Australia and Tasmania owe all
their prosperity. And it is wool which is
advancing the middle island of New Zealand
 with gigantic strides, enriching the settlers,
and drawing the largest and finest of the
English ships, into the Southern ports to
carry it away. In the Northern part of New
Zealand, sheep are only just beginning to
increase. The natives are unfortunately
more attached to the breeding of miserable.
profitless, horses than to the feeding of
valuable sheep, and the  culture of gold pro-

E hiahia ana matou kia tahuri atu te
whakaaro o nga Maori e korero ana i te
Karere nei, ki te maha o nga hanga utu
nui kua utaina ki runga ki te kaipuke nei, te

ki te nui o nga huru hipi kua maina kei
runga, katahi te mea pai hei uta atu ki
tawahi ko tenei; a, e hari ana matou no te

besides, ships that flock to load with wool
require and consume large quantities of the
farmers stocks, enriching the country in
every way. Sheep cannot, therefore, be too
generally propagated, or grass too exten-
sively sown; and some idea may be formed
of the rapidily with which wool may be
grown from the simple lact that only 300
Ibs weight of wool went from Auckland to
London io 1856— the quantity had increased
to nearly 80, 000 Ibs in 1857  whereas by
the single ship William Watson, in the first
quarter of the year 1858, the wool shipped
amounts to 96, 940 Ibs, whilst at least as
much more has been shipped to England by
way of Sydney. Wool is the gold mine to
'which the natives ia the North should direct
their attention, if they desire to insure their
own wealth and the prosperity of  the
country.
