FAREWELL ADDRESS TO MR. HALL,
R. M., BY THE CHIEFS OF CAN-
TERBURY.
WE have much pleasure in publishing the
following letter addressed by Kaiapohia
natives to Mr. Hall, R.M., of Canterbury, on
the occasion of his approaching departure
for England.
It is gratifyiiig to find a proper feeling
making, if not rapid, at least steady progress
between the Natives and those gentlemen
whose only care is to execute justice and
promote the peace and prosperity of the 
people. The names attached to this letter
fully represent the Natives of the Canterbury
Province, and the sentiments conveyed in it
are deserving of all commendation, and
must be in the highest degree gratifying to
Mr. Hall, as well as to every well wisher of
the Native people of these islands.
Christchurch, March 11th, 1860.
Our beloved friend Mr. Hall, we greet
you,
HE PUKAPUKA POROPOROAKI KIA
TE HORO, NA NGA RANGATIRA
MAORI O KATAPERE.
HE nui to matou pai ki te ta i te pukapuka
e mau i raro iho nei; he pukapuka na nga
Maori o Kaiapohia ki a Te Horo, te Kai-
whakawa Tuturu o Katapere, i te mea ka
tata tona haerenga ki Ingarani.
He mea whakahari ngakau tenei, ara te
ata tupu tonu o te whakaaro tika o nga
Maori, o nga Rangatira Pakeha e mahi tonu
nei ki te whakahaere i te ture tika, i te
rangimarie, i te pai ki nga iwi Maori. Ko
nga Rangatira enei o Kaiapohia e mau nei
nga ingoa  i te pukapuka nei; ko ratou hei
whakapuaki i nga whakaaro o te tokomaha.
E whakamoemiti ana matou ki nga korero o
tenei pukapuka, a he rawe noa iho hoki pea
ki a Te Horo, ki nga tangata katoa ano hoki
e aro pai ana ki nga iwi Maori o enei motu.
Karaitiana, Maehe, 11, 1860.
E to matou hoa aroha, e Te Horo: Tena
ra koe. Kua rongo matou e haere ana koe
ki tawahi, na konei hoki matou i rupeke mai
ai ki te poroporoaki ki a koe.
Ehoa, e Te Horo: kia rongo mai koe.
E pouri ana matou ki to haerenga atu i a

We hear that you are going to a distant
country, and on this account have we as-
sembled that we may offer you our words
of farewell.
Friend, Mr. Hall, hearken! We are
sorry to hear of your approaching departure,
but we would not wish to hold you back.
Go you and see your relations, and then
return to New Zealand, to this our common
home. But we must caution you that if
your friends intreat you to remain with
them, you do not consent. If their regard
for you is so great, then let them accompany
you back and seek a home in New Zealand.
You can tell them of the good things of this
land.
Friend, Mr. Hall, hearken thou to the
sentiments of the runanga of Canterbury
Chiefs.
We have a reason for meeting you on this
occasion. We are now reflecting on all
your past doings as Magistrate, and they
call forth our approval. This is the com-
mand of the Queen to her Governor in New
Zealand—"Take care of my children, both
Pakeha and Maori; let your concern for the
Maori be equal to your concern for the 
Pakeha."
In our opinion this command applies
equally to you, for by the  authority of the
Queen were you appointed Magistrate for
this place.
But our reason for thus expressing our
regard for you. is from a consideration of
your goodness during the years of your
Magistracy: we mean your kindness to the
Maori people.
And now that you are going to a distant
country think not that the Maori will forget
you, and think not that the heart of the
Maori is a cold one; nay, it is a heart that
remembers.
The forest fire continues to blaze till all
the wood is consumed, so with the heart of
the Maori when set on fire with love, death
alone may quench the turning. When you
are gone to the distant country we shall still
remember you, and your goodness to the
Maori,
matou; otira, ekore matou e mea kia pupuri
i a koe, engari me haere kia kite i o wha-
naunga ka hoki mai ai ki Niu Tirani ki to
tatou nei kainga; na kia ki atu matou ki a
koe, ki te tohea koe e o whanaunga kia noho
atu, kauaka ra koe e whakaae; engari ki te
aroha nui mai ratou ki a koe, me haere tahi
mai koutou ki Niu Tirani rapu kainga ai.
Mau ano nga painga o tenei whenua e korero
ki a ratou.
E hoa, e Te Horo: kia rongo mai koe ki
te whakaaro mou a te runanga o nga ranga-
tira Maori o Katapere. He whakaaro ano
to matou i whai tikanga atu ai ki a koe inai-
anei. Kei te mahara matou ki au tikanga
katoa i runga i to mahi whakawa, na e wha-
kapai atu ana matou. Ko ta Te Kuini tenei
ki tana Kawana i Niu Tirani. Kia pai te tiaki
i aku tamariki, Pakeha, Maori hoki, kia rite
pu te tikanga ki te Maori me te tikanga ki te
Pakeha, a tenei matou te mahara nei hei
whakahaunga hoki tenei mau; inahoki, na
te mana o Te Kuini koe i whakaritea ai hei
Kai-whakawa mo tenei wahi. Ta matou i
pai atu ai ki a koe inaianei, ko ta matou nei
mahara ki au mahi tika i roto i nga tau i
noho nei koe hei Kai-whakawa, ara ko te pai
o to tikanga ki a matou ki te taha Maori.
Ko tenei, ka haere koe ki tawahi, kei mea
koe e wareware matou ki a koe;—kei mea
koe he ngakau mataotao te ngakau o te
Maori. Kahore; he ngakau mahara ia.
Ka toro te ngaherehere te ahi, ekore e taea
te tinei, a pau rawa. He pena ano hoki te
ngakau o te Maori ana toro i te aroha, ekore
e taea te tinei, a male noa te tangata. Ka
haere nei koe ki tawahi, ka mahara tonu
matou ki a koe, ki o tikanga pai hoki ki a
matou. Kia pahure te raumati ka ngaro te
wharauroa, kia pahure ano te makariri ka
hoki mai ai. He pena hoki koe, e rite ana
to rere ki to taua manu, kua rere nei te
wharauroa ka rere hoki koe, kia kitea ano
te wharauroa a te raumati ra, hei reira ano
ka titiro matou ki a koe kia puta mai.
Haere ra e to matou hoa, e Te Horo,
haere e hoki ki te kainga o ou tupuna. Ki
atu ki nga rangatira o reira, e noho pai ana
te iwi Maori me te iwi Pakeha i Niu Tirani,
e whakahoahoa ana, ano he tuakana he teina.
Kua tukua e te Maori ona whenua hei noho-
anga mo te Pakeha; kua homai e te Pakeha
te Whakapono me ana tini taonga hei wha-
kanui i te Maori.
Haere e Te Horo, a ma Te Atua o Apera-
hama. o Ihaka, o Hakopa, Te Atua o te
Pakeha o te Maori, koe e atawhai i ou hae-
renga katoa. Haere ra,  haere ra- Heoiano

TE KARERE MAORI.
The Wharauroa (New Zealand Cuckoo)
takes its flight with departing summer; but
when the cold of winter has passsed away it
reappears; and so with you. Your flight
is like unto  that bird's. The Wharauroa has
just left us, and you are leaving us loo.
But when the warmth of returning summer
brings back the Wharauroa, then too shall
we be looking out for your return.
Farewell then, our friend Mr. Hall.
Visit thou the land of thy forefather. Tell
the chiefs of that land that the European and
Maori races in New Zealand are living
together in friendship like elder and younger
brothers; that the Maori has surrendered
his lands for the settlement of the Pakeha
and that the  Pakeha has in return enriched
the Maori with Christianity and many other
good things.
Farewell Mr. Hall, farewell! May the
God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, the
God of the Maori as well as the Pakeha,
protect you in all your journeyings! Fare-
well! Farewell!

LETTER FROM TAMIHANA TE RAU-
PARAHA.
Otaki, 6th April, 1860.
MY LOVING FRIEND, MR. McLEAN,
I will write, so that you may know what
was said at the meeting held  this month,
and you will convey the information to my
loving parent Governor Browne.
Lasting peace and quietness of the people
residing here was the result of a meeting of
the Ngatiraukawa Ngatitoa and Ngatiawa,
tribes held at Otaki on the 27th March l860.
I was in lime for the meeting for I had been
at Wellington sellling a law case with a
European. On Thursday the 29th towards
2 o'clock I left Wellington and arrived at
my own house at my sheep station at about
11 on Friday the 30th, I went to see that
meeting for they were wailing for me on
this side of the river of Otaki  where they
were staying at Katihiku.  The old chiefs
had talked on Thursday morning. I heard
this from Nepia, Taratoa and the old chief
of Ngatihuia, Te Ahi. The sentiments were
very good-peace and quietness.
On my arrival on Friday the talking was
concluded by us and the old chiefs. The
object of Ihe meeting was to consider how

Otaki, Aperira 6th, I860.
E taku hoa aroha, E te Makarini. Me
tuhi atu e au kia rongo koe i nga korero o
te huihuinga i roto i tenei marama; mau e
korero atu ki te matua aroha, ki a Kawana
Paraone.
He rongo mau, he pai no enei iwi e noho
nei, i te huihuinga o Ngatiraukawa, o
Ngatitoa, o Ngatiawa ki Otaki, no te 27 o
nga ra o Maehe, i te tau 1860; I mau ano i
a au taua hui nei, i Poneke hoki au i te
whakaoti i taku whakawa ki te Pakeha.
No te 29 o nga ra o te Taitei, i te pahi ki
te rua, ka whakatika mai au i Poneke, ka
tae ki te 41 o nga haora, ka tae mai au ki
taku whare i taku kainga tiaki hipi. No te
50 o nga ra, i te Paraere, ka haere atu au
kia kite i taua hui, e tatari ake ana hoki
taua hui ki a au i tenei taha o te awa o
Otaki, te nohoanga o taua hui i Katihiku.
Kua korero ake hoki nga kaumatua o taua
hui, i te ata o te Taetei i rongo au ki a Nepia
Taratoa raua ko te kaumatua o Ngatihuia, ko
te Ahi, he pai anake nga korero he ata noho
marire. No taku taenga nei i te ata o te
Paraire, ka whakaotia katoatia nga korero

these people should remain quietly under
the shadow of our Queen Victoria, Queen of
England and also of New Zealand. The
thoughts of the Ngatiawa at Taranaki, are
to be left to themselves. The chiefs who
supported these good words were:-
Au Te Ahi,
Te Ahu Karamu,
Nepia Taratoa,
Te Matenga te Matia,
Te Ahi,
Karanama Te Kapukai and
Ihakara Tahurangi,
besides a great many others of the Maori
people but, there were however; some in-
considerate expressions from some of the
inferior people. They were rebuked and so
it ended. There were (about) 500 people at
the Otaki meeting.
After the talking was concluded, on the
evening of Friday, I dismissed the meeting
saying, let each "Hapu" return to its own
place, and occupy itself with the good works
which God has appointed, cultivating wheat,
and other produce.
On Saturday, the 31st ult.. the meeting,
dispersed and they returned to their different
homes.
On the  3rd of April Mr. Turton arrived,
be came to see me, my house and sheep
station. We talked for half an hour about
bis coming from Taranaki, I was glad that
he came to see me. He went on to Waika-
nae where he slept, being in haste to reach
Wellington.
My friend this was all that was done at
the meeting held at Otaki, the settlement of
Te Rauparaha.
Do not listen to or believe the falsehoods
of bad Maories, or bad Europeans who may
say that these people are disposed to evil.
It is not so, no not one.

Tamihana te Rauparaha.
MY FRIEND MR. McLEAN.
The heart is glad. Matene arrived  on
the night of the 5th instant—Thursday even-
ing at Otaki. I have heard from Matene of
the clearness of the Governor's views. On
Friday evening next, Matene will arrive and
tell us all the news. I shall soon write
again.

LETTER FROM THE WAIRARAPA
NATIVES.
Masterton, Wairarapa,
29th March, 1860.
To GOVERNOR BROWNE,—
Friend: Salutations to you, either
at Taranaki or at Auckland.
Friend, we have heard of your quarrel
(fight) with Wiremu Kingi, and the pretext
of the quarrel, viz,, the land you bought at
Waitara from Te Teira, and we see that
Wiremu Kingi has no right to this land.
Friend, the Governor—Salutations to you,
although you are troubled by Wiremu Kingi
Te Rangitake.
We sympathise with you on account of
the past," that is, from the time that religion
(whakapono) first came to us—in consequence
of which we have lived in harmony with
you (Europeans) during the time that is past.
our bodies and minds have been filled with
those good things which have been brought
to this island, New Zealand—unites with
God—that is, with the Church of Christ
this is the unity— whether Maori or Pakeha,
we are one ia body— whether black or white;
that is why we have no desire to join in the
quarrel of Wiremu Kingi; there is a world
there (Taranaki) and a world here (Waira-
rapa). Our desire is, to live peaceably with
our Pakehas at Wairarapa, and all the
places adjacent. These were our thoughts
expressed to Mr. Searancke, the Govern-
ment Officer—that he might know the
thoughts of the Maories at Wairarapa.
There is something else we wish to say to
you. The people of Wairarapa have heard
that you wish to place a company of soldiers
at Wairarapa, that is why we, the people of
Wairarapa, expressed our thought to Mr.
Searancke. We do not wish to have any
soldiers at Wairarapa  leave them at Tara-
naki, at Whanganui, at Wellington, at
Auckland, and also at Ahuriri, because we
are peaceable, and also our friends the Pa-
kehas; let bad Natives stay at their own
places with their quarrels, and let the

Maehe 29, 1860.
E HOA,—Tena ra koe, te noho mai na i
Taranaki ranei, i Akarana ranei.
E hoa, tenei kua tae mai to korua rongo
whawhai ko Wiremu Kingi, a kua rongo
matou i te take i whawhai ai korua, mo te
whenua i hokoa e koe ki Waitara ki a Te
Teira: a kua kite iho matou, e he ana te
take i eke ai a Wiremu Kingi ki runga ki
taua pihi i hokoa e koe ki a Te Teira. E
hoa, e Te Kawana. Tena ra koe, te noho mai
na, te whakararua mai na e Wiremu Kingi
Te Rangitake.
E hoa, e Te Kawana; Tena ra koe. He
mihi atu tenei na matou ki a koe mo nga
takiwa kua pahemo ake nei, a ra i te oro ko
taenga mai o te Whakapono ki a matou; no
reira ka takoto pai te ao. Ko te pai, ko te
rangimarietanga o matou o koutou, i enei
tau ka pahemo ake nei; ta te mea kua whi-
whi o matou tinana, me o matou hinengaro
ki nga painga i tukua mai nei ki tenei motu
ki Niu Tirani nei; koia tenei ko te kotahi-
tanga o Te Atua, ko te kotahi hoki o te
tinana, ara o te Hahi a Te Karaiti. Koia
tenei te tinana, ahakoa Maori, ahakoa
Pakeha, kotahi tonu ano tinana, ahakoa
mangumangu, ahakoa iwi ke atu, kotahi
ano tinana. No konei matou i mea atu ai
ki a koe, mo te rongo o te whawhai a Wiremu
Kingi ki a koe. E kore matou e minamina
ki te whawhai a Wiremu Kingi, no te mea
hoki, he ao kai kona, he ao kai konei. Ko
ta matou i mea ai, kia noho pai matou ko o
matou Pakeha e noho nei i Wairarapa nei,
puta noa i ona wahi katoa. Ko to matou
whakaaro tenei i whakapuaki ake ai ki te
tangata o te Kawanatanga, ki a Herangi, kia
rongo ia i te whakaaro o nga Maori o Wai-
rarapa nei, koia tenei i runga ake nei. Ko
tetahi kupu hoki, mo te kupa i rongo ai
hoki nga tangata o Wairarapa nei. E mea
ana koe ki tetahi hapu hoia mo Wairarapa.
Koia matou nga Maori i whakapuaki ake ai
kia Te Herangi i tenei, kia kaua tetahi hapu
hoia e tukua mai ki Wairarapa nei, me
waiho atu i Taranaki, i Whanganui, i Poneke
nga hoia; me waiho atu i Akarana, i Ahu-
riri hoki. No te mea, e noho pai aua matou
me o matou boa aroha Pakeha, me etahi
tangata tutu Maori nei hoki kia noho atu i
tona wahi ano tutu atu ai, kia waiho ma nga
Maori, ma nga Pakeha o konei e rapu he he
mo matou nei. Ki te kore e rapu he nga
Maori me nga Pakeha, e pai ana. A ki te

AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, AND
MARITIME REPORT.
FROM THE 1ST TO THE 15TH APRIL.
There have been no arrivals from abroad
since we last wrote, and we are therefore
unable to report any alteration in the mar-
ket prices.
It is satisfactory to be able to state that
wheat and other agricultural produce is
now arriving freely; for it is only by in-
creased production and a constantly and
largely increasing export that we can hope
to pay for the large importation of goods
that is now taking place. By every English
ship, there are immense supplies of every
description of new and improved agricuitural
implements received in Auckland. These,
together with the vast shipments of woollen,
cotton, and other clothing, as well as of teas,
sugars, tobaccos, rice, coffee, and other
articles of general consumption, demand the
unrelaxing efforts of every farmer and land-
owner to produce a marketable export in
exchange.
The following have been the  arrivals—all
