ROADS.
Our present number contains the sub-
stance of a letter addressed to His Excellency
the Governor by one of the Rotorua tribes,
on the subject of opening the country by
means of roads. It is published in the
'Karere Maori' that our readers may see
that there are, even among the tribes living
in the interior, men who take an intelligent
view of this question.
Those who live near the European
settlements are well aware of the advantage
of having good roads upon which their
produce can be conveyed to the market.
The Kaipara Natives have readily given the
land required for the formation of a road to
connect their district with Auckland. 
The Ngapuhi, with some assistance from
the  Government, have completed a good dray
road between the Bay of Islands and the
Hokianga liver.
The  Tarawera people have applied for and
obtained assistance from the Government, to
enable them to form a road practicable for
NGA HUARAHI.
Kei tenei Karere ka taia nga tikanga ko-
rero o tetahi pukapuka 5 tuhituhia kia Te
Kawana e tetahi o nga iwi o Rotorua. Ko
nga korero, he korero whakapuare huarahi,
hei haerenga i nga whenua. Te take i taia
ai ki te Karere Maori, he mea kia kite ai 6
matou hoa Maori, era ano he tangata kei roto
i nga iwi o te tuawhenua, e ata whakaaro
mohio ana i tenei mea.
Ko nga tangata e noho taia ana ki nga
kainga Pakeha e kite ana i te pai o tenei mea,
o te huarahi pai, hei ara mo o ratou kai ki te
makete. Ko nga tangata o Kaipara i tuku
tonu i te whenua mo te huarahi, hei tuhono
mai i to ratou wahi ki Akarana.
Kua oti i a Ngapuhi te huarahi i Peowhai-
rangi ki Hokianga, he huarahi pai tenei, be
huarahi kaata; na te Kawanatanga ia tetahi
wahi.
Kua tonoa mai e nga tangata o Tarawera,
a whakaaetia ano e te Kawanatanga, etahi
mea mahi rori, he mea kia ahei ai i a ratou
te mahi to ratou huarahi, tona timatanga kei
te tahatika o to ratou roto, a tutuki noa ki
Te Ahi-inanga, ki tetahi o nga manga hoenga
waka o te Awa o Te Atua.

drays, between the shore of their lake and
a navigable branch of the Awa a te Atua
river.
In other places our "Maori friends have
shown themselves alive to the advantages
which must result to them from the opening
of roads, by applying to the Government to
undertake their construction, in some cases
offering the land which might be required,
in others promising to furnish labour for
carry ing on the work.
There are some who say, Do not let us
have roads, lest they become the means of
bringing evil among us. This is like a man
saying, I will not have a door to my house
lest a thief enter by it and steal my goods,
or like a man saying, No fire shall be
kindled in my ' kainga,' lest the houses be
burnt: 1 will rather always eat uncooked
food.
There are some also who say, Let not roads
be opened through the country, lest our land
be taken by Ihe Pakehas. But what tribe
is now so uninformed as not to know that
the Queen's law does not permit Europeans
to take, or even to occupy, native land, and
that such land can pass out of the  possession
of the  tribes owning it only when they are
willing to cede it to the Queen, and that
even after having so alienated it, it is still
open to the "Maori as to the Pakeha; both
alike may become purchasers; no difference 
is made whether the applicant be a Pakeha
or a Maori, the price is the same to both,
the Queen's grant is the same to both.
Kei etahi atu wahi hoki kua oho ano o
matou hoa Maori, kua titiro ki nga pai e tau
ki a ratou i runga i tenei mea i te whakapuare
huarahi, inahoki kua tonoa ki te Kawanata-
nga kia mahia; he mea ano, kua mea ki te
homai i te whenua mo nga rori; ko etahi
kua mea, keia ratou he tangata hei mahi.
Ko etahi ia e mea ana, kana he huarahi
mo tatou, kei na reira mai he kino mo tatou.
Ka rite tenei kupu ki ta te tangata ina penei
atu:—Ekore au e pai kia whai tatau taku
whare, kei ma reira mai te tapokoranga   o
te tahae, ki te tahae i aku taonga; me he
meatanga ranei na te tangata. Ekore au e
pai kia ka he ahi ki toku kainga, kei wera aku
whare, engari me ota tonu taku kai.
Tena ano hoki etahi e mea ana, kaua nga
huarahi e tukua kia whakapuaretia, kei riro
o tatou whenua i te Pakeha.—Oti ra, kei hea
ra tena iwi inaianei i pera tona koremohiota-
nga, te matau noa e, ekore te ture o Te Kui-
ni e tuku i te Pakeha kia tango kau, kia noho
kau ranei ki te whenua o nga tangata Maori?
Kia whakaae ra ano te iwi nona te whenua
kia tukua ki Te Kuini, katahi ra; mo ka riro;
a muri iho ano i te rironga i Te Kuini, ka
puare tahi ano ki te Maori, ki te Pakeha; e
ahei ano te hoko e raua tahi, e tetahi e tetahi.
Kotahi ano tikanga ki te Pakeha ki te Maori,
kotahi ano mu, me te Karaati o Te Kuini ki
tetahi ki tetahi rite tonu.
Otira ho korero ano te korero whakapuare
huarahi i te motu nei, a he mea ke ano te
korero tuku whenua ki te Kawanatanga, a
me takoto wehewehe ano era kupu e rua.
Ko matou e mea ana, he mea pai ano te
whakapuare huarahi, ka rangona tahitia tona
pai e te Pakeha e te tangata Maori. Na, e
mea ana matou, ko te hunga anake e noho
I ana i roto i te pouritanga e whakahe  i tenei
kupu.

if having roads, though all may not at pre-
sent agree about the advantage  of making
their lands available by handing them over
to the Government. Let then that vvhich is
seen to be good by all be availed of and
let that about which there is a difference of
opinion rest until all shall be agreed as to
what is best.
LETTER FROM THE NGATIUENUKUKO-
PAKO TO THE GOVERNOR.
To GOVERNOR BROWNE,—
Salutations in the Grace of God and of
the Queen.
Sir, on former occasions our tribe has
expressed sentiments of respect and love for
the Queen and her laws. These were
during the administrations of Governor
Fizroy and of Governor Grey. We wrote a
letter in which we made known our desire
to place ourselves under the Queen's
protection, and that her laws should protect
our people from violence, whether by Maori
or Pakeha, our lands from being wrong-
fully taken, and our property also. We
further declared our willingness to submit
our disputes and differences to be decided
according to her laws.
We now address your Excellency on a
new subject. We wish to express the
respect we entertain for your office, and
our admiration or your measures for
governing the unenlightened people of this
island, also our desire that your commands
may be obeyed and your authority respected
throughout the island on Maori territory, as
well on that of Ihe Pakeha. These tribes
will never thwart your wishes but will
always acquiesce in them. Opposition will
appear only when it is not understood what
is required.
We have heard that some of the Taupo
and Rotorua people say, Let no road be
opened, meaning the road between Auck-
land and Ahuriri and that from Auckland to
Port Nicholson. Old proverbs and songs
are still in the  mouths of many, and threats
of shutting up these lines of roads are still
extant.
These circumstances have induced the
descendants or our great ancestor Uenuku-
kopako to address your Excellency, and to
let you know that we are not so blind as to
talk of obstructing or shutting up roads.
This is our proverb, spoken of man: "The
mouth and the nose are the inlets to the
body by which the air passes which is
kore pea te whakaae katoa ki te pai o te tuku
 whenua ki te Kawanatanga, kia mahia. He-
I oi ra, ko te mea kua kitea e nga tangata ka-
toa te pai me tango; ko tera, ko te mea e
tua raruraru ana, e pai ana ki waiho marire
huri huri ai, kia rite ra ano te whakaaro o
 nga tangata katoa kei tehea tikanga ranei te
 pai, kei tehea tikanga ranei.
PUKAPUKA NA NGA IWI O UENUKU-
KOPAKO KI A TE KAWANA.
E koro, e Kawana Paraone,
Tena ko koe, i runga i te atawhai o Te Atua,
o Te Kuini hoki. E koro, kua tae atu a ma-
tou nei kupu whakamoemiti mo Te Kuini me
ana Ture i nga ra o Kawana Pitiroi, o Ka-
wana Kerei. I penei nga kupu o a matou
pukapuka; ma Te Kuini matou e tiaki, o
matou tangata i kohurutia e te Maori e te
Pakeha o matou oneone ina tangohia poka-
noatia nga rohe, o matou taonga tahaetia,
whenua riro, me a matou raruraru e kawea
atu ana ki runga i nga whakawa o ana Ture.
No mua enei kupu. Waihoki ko enei kupu
hou, he kupu manaaki  atu ki a koe i runga i
tou honore. He manaaki atu ki au whaka-
haunga i nga ritenga mo tenei motu kuare,
no te mea, ko au e hiahia ai koe kia mahia,
kia whakaritea i runga i tenei motu, ahakoa
 runga i o te Pakeha oneone, i o te "Maori
ranei, ekore nga hapu nei e pehi i au whaka-
mene, ka whakaaetia atu e enei hapu. E-
ngari ko nga ritenga au ka ngaro, a ka pe-
hia. Inahoki, kua rongo matou i te kupu a
etahi o nga rangatira o Taupo, o Rotorua,
kaua te huarahi e tukua kia puare. Te ku-
pu a etahi rangatira o Rotorua e mea ana
kanaka e whakapuaretia tau huarahi, ara, te
huarahi no Akarana ki Ahuriri, no Akarana
ki Poneke, me tutaki. Me a ratou whaka-
tauki e mau nei, nga tau e mau nei, me nga
kupu tutaki e mau nei nga tohu.
Koia te runanga o to matou tupuna o
Uenukukopako i mohio ai ki te korero atu ki
a koe, ekore matou e whakaaro kuare ki te
tutaki i te huarahi. Ina hoki Ia matou wha-
katauki mo te tangata, ko te mangai me te
ihu te putanga o te hau i ora ai te tangata.
Ko nga Wahapu o te tinana enei, ko nga
matapihi, waihoki ko nga huarahi nga mata-
pihi nga kuaha e rere ai te hau e ora ai tenei
motu a waenganui i nga takutai.

be encouraged, as they must l;enent boih
Pakclias and Maoris, Chiefs and people,

also afTord the means of conveying ihe
produce of Maori industry to Ihe Pakeha
towns to be sold.
For these reasons we should rejoice to see
these roads opened, for the road is on the
land what the s!lip is on Ihe sea, and it is
ihe ship which brings to our shores the
mimerous lemporal goods which we nee'I.
Friend, Hie Govcrnor, if all the tribes in
New Zraland held views simiiar to oilrs;
.were they as traciable. and did they
examine as carefnlly and perceive as clearly
as we do ihe advantages ofsubruillmg to be
guided by the laws, ihe comilry would
prosper, all would go well with us, and we
should dwell in happy securily.
The rcsult of onr carefnl examination i.s
this: we are in favonr of opening roads. If
ihe land through whio!i rouds are \\v;iiueu
belonged lo us we should propose as fo;iows.
These are ihe lines of roads vvu should
rrecommend:
'1. From Auckland to Waikato, ilieiiw to
Ma;.ingakawa,(.hence lo Hoi'iihoco,Roio-

and the Chiefs of the various tribes in this
island thought, as we do, our plan might be
carried out.
However, though we may be few who
hold these views, we shall continue steadfast,
and for our part will never join in any
opposition to Ihe opening of roads.
RULES RELATING TO TRESPASS.
THE following rules adopted by a meeting of
the Natives at Taupuri, Waikato, are pub-
lished at the request of the Native Assessor,
Waata Kukutai.
1st. That horses should be tied up or
taken to places where there are no cultiva-
tions.
2nd. That cattle must be kept within a
fence and not be permitted to trespass on
and destroy the cultivations.
3rd. Pigs are to bo lied up or taken to
places where there are no cultivations lest
they destroy the  cultivations.
4th. Mischievous dogs are to be killed;
good dogs may be kept, but a dog may be
killed if known to do mischief.
5th Trespass on cultivations by ani-
mals: If wheat which has not •pi; i.'iled is
eaten by c;;llle, horses, or pigs, it, is noi to
be paiil Cor, but if ihe ear lias formcd and il
is eal.en, llicn il is lo be paid for if the animal
is caught,.
6ih. If growing crops, such as potatoes,
maixe, &c., are eaten by horses, cai,lle, pigs,
sheep or goals, they do not recover, llicy
ure wholly destroyed, and t,horefore it is
righl that payment, sliou!d be made tor
damage done lo ihcm. This refers to crops
not fenced in. Fences are made, butllic rule
is that ihe cultivations are supposed to be
outside. The fences are tor the horse?,
cattle, pigs, sheep and goats; (,lie; cultiva-
tions are to be outside, because fences can-
not be made tor ihe crops, and if the crops
a;'e desiroye'l by lliese animals paymcn HUIKI
be made. If ihe c'ainage clone be small, l!ie
payment is to be small; if the clamagn done
be great, the paymoni. is lo be !argo.
7th. If fenced crops are eale;i by these
an!rnals, payment is lo be made. Pnuiagp
<ione at any lime, when the corn is coming
up, vvhen in ear, when fit to cut, or wheo
stacked, inusl be pairl tor.

AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 1ST TO THE 15TH APRIL.
The latest intelligence from Sydney is to
the 31st of March. Business still continued
to be dull; and flour remained stationary,
but firm, at the quotations so long given,
namely £19 per ton for fine, £l7, for second
quality. Wheat was selling at from 6s 6d
to 7s 3d per bushel. Potatoes were very
low,—£2 10s to £3 10s per ton. Onions
from £6 to £9 per ton. At Melbourne,
Adelaide flour was fetching £l9; Wheat 8s
2d; but there was a strong belief entertained
of a movement having been made in Ade-
laide to create a rise in the flour market,
which movement, however, it was thought
would prove a failure.
At Adelaide, the movement was tolerably
rapid in its operations, for on Monday
Wheat which sold at 7s had risen by Friday
to 8s 2d per bushel. Flour £19.
In Auckland we had a fall of 40s per ton
in flour at the beginning of Ihe mouth but,

in consequence, no doubt, of this intelli-
gence from Australia, it has returned to its
former price, that is to say £20 for fine,
£15 to £17 for second quality.
The Millers still complain of short sup-
plies of wheat from the Coast, and the  re-
sult is that importations from Australia are
still taking place, the last vessel, .1 brig of
200 tons, having brought a full cargo. This
is a matter of deep regret to all who desire
to see New Zealand a rich and prosperous
country; and we cannot too frequently or too
urgently draw the attention of growers to
Ihe great injury they are sustaining by their
present want of industrious exertion.
The arrivals, since our last, have been the
schooner Henry, 45 tons, Captain Wallace,
from Lyttelton, with 900 bushels wheat; the
barque Lochnagar, 579 tons, Captain Jen-
kins, from London, with a large cargo of
merchandise, and 4 passengers; the brig
Moa 257 tons, Captain Bowden, from Sydney
with goods and 9 passengers; H. M. sloop
Elk, 12 guns, 484 tons, Captain Campion,
from Melbourne; the brig Arminius, 203
tons, Captain Nordenholz, from Adelaide,
with 1327 bags wheat, 200 bags rice, 8
passengers; the schooner Gazelle, 212 tons,
Captain Cunningham,  from Sydney with
goods, 4 passengers; the brigantine Spray,
106 tons, Captain Anderson, from Sydney,
with goods, 5 passengers; and the Tyne, 94
tons, Captain Aked, from Hobart Town,
with sundry Tasmanian lumber.
The departures were the brig Gil Blas,
175 tons, Captain Westwood. for Melbourne,
with 29 spars, 101, 217 feet sawn timber,
HI 5 Ibs. cheese, 15 tons potatoes, 522 gal-
lons sperm oil, 10 passengers; the schooner
Zephyr, 56 tons, Captain Kensett, for Mel-
