erection of a Church at Mangere, and 121.
5s Id for one at Pukaki.

 The chief object of this meeting was to de-
cide whether that portion of the Ahiwaru
tribe now residing at Puketapapa should
return to Waikato from whence they origi-
nally came, or be permanently located on

the land they now occupy.

Koroniria Tokuwaha of the Ahiwaru
opened the subject thus:— Welcome, wel-
come, my parents, welcome, my brothers,
come and see the breaking up of my canoe.
After him several of his friends spoke, but
Paora Tuhaere, of the Ngatiwhatua, Ihaka
Takaanini, and Hohepa Otene, with the
latter of whom was the" Mana" of the land,
proved too strong for them . These advoca-
ted their slaying, and after occupying the
greater part of the second day of the meet-
ing in discussing the question the following
document was drawn up.

Puketapapa , March 2 6th, 1858.
Hohepa has consented to make over to Te
Ahiwaru the land called Puketapapa, to be
a permanent possession for themselves and
their children after them, for ever: it has
also been assented to by the Runanga of the
Ahiwaru, that this land shall be given as a
permanent possession.

AGRICULTURAL COMMERCIAL AND
MARITIME REPORT.

FROM THE 15TH TO THE 30TH APRIL

According to the latest advices from
Australia, the Produce Markets, if not us-
ing, were firm at former prices and with a
decided upward tendency. Flour. as before,
was quoted at 181. per ton for first quality, 
161. for second. Wheat was extremely
scarce. Some small lots had been parted
at 8s. 3d., but. for really prime sam-
ples, 8s 6d. per bushel could be readily
obtained. Oats fetched from 7s to 9s.
Barley 7s. to 8s. 6d., and Maize 8s. to 8s 6d .
per bushel. Potatoes were moderate in
price, selling, but by no means readily, at
from 7 1. 10s. to 81 per ton. The ship-
ments from Auckland, and the supplies from
other places sufficed to feed the market; and.
unfortunately for our New Zealand export-
ers, the Moa, the Bristol. and the Sybil, all
with considerable quantities, arrived to
Sydney within three days of each other.
This, it may be estimated, depreciated the
value of their several cargoes at least twenty
shillings per ton.

Teas! and Sugars have still a downward
tendency, and may again be expected to
resume their former and more natural
level.

As seed time is now rapidly approaching,
we think it is a duty which we owe to our
native readers and to all the inhabitants of
our common country. Maori or European,
to remind them of the importence of extend-
ing their cultivations to the utmost possible
limits. A very large accession is antici-
pated to the population of Australia in the
course of the next twelve months, and we
have reason. to believe that there will also be
a considerable influx into New Zealand
during the same term. In Australia, cal-
culations have been made in past times, and
with singular accuracy, with rexpect to the
seasons of drought, and, by consequence, of
the failure of crops. It has been said that
each seasons of drought may be looked for
during the current and. following years.
Should these predictions prove correct, the
Agriculturists of New Zealand would do well
to put themselves in a position to supply the
wants which will be so largely created.
Now is the time for preparation and we
heartily hope that every exertion will be
made to subdue our soil and replenish our
garners.
