Thompson, Esq., Alderman, M.P., Sir Henry Webb, Bart., Arthur Willis, Esq., GeorgeFrederick Young, Esq. Secretary : John Ward, Esq. mHE main features of the system of coloniza- X tion adoptedby the Company, are,— lst, the sale of lands, at an uniform and sufficient price; and 2ndly, the employment of a large portionof the purchase-money, as anImmigra- tion Fund. In theserespects, the principles of South Australia have been followed as nearly as circumstances would, in the present case, permit. The grand object of the new, or improved, system of the disposal of colonial -lands, is to regulate the supply of new land, by the real wants of the Colonists, so that the land shall never be either superabundant, or deficient, either too cheap, or too dear. It has been shown that the due proportion between people andland may be constantly securedby abandon- ing the old system of grants, and requiringan uniform price per acre, for all new lands, with- out exception. If the price be not too low, it deters speculators from obtaining land, with a view to leaving their property in a desert state, and thus prevents injurious dispersion ; it also, by compelling every labourer. to work for wages, until he has saved the only means of obtaining land, insures a supply of labour for hire. If, on.the other hand, the price be not too high, it neither confines the settlers within a space in- conveniently narrow, nor does it prevent the thrifty labourer from becoming a land-owner, ;t*i"v wo''l<iih> «.«r>i<" > I'mni for , -wage.?. -— — -, — A sulficieiit, but not more than sufficient price for all new land, is the main feature of the new system of colonization. It obviates every species of bondage; by providing com- binable labour, it renders industry very produc- tive, and maintains bothhigh wages, and high profits;, it makes the colony as attractive as possible, both to capitalists and to labourers ; andnot merely to these, but also, by bestowing on the colony, the better attributes of an old society, to thosewhohave a distaste for what has heretofore been the primitive condition of new colonies. The great object of the price is to secure the most desirable proportionsbetween people and land; but the plan has the further result of pro- ducing a revenue, which will not only supply the requisite profit to the shareholders of the Company, but furnishes the means for an Immigration Fund, — afund constantly^ applica- ble to the purpose of bringing labour to the colony — that is, in causing the best sprt of colonization to proceed at the greatest possible rate. Andthis is the secondfeature of the new system. The employment of the purchase-money, or the principal part of it,in conveying settlers to the colony, has the following effects. It makes the purchasers of land see plainly, that their money will be returned in the shape of labour ' andpopulation. Ittends, in fact, to lower the necessary standai'd of price, because, with a constant influx of people to the colony, the due proportion between peopleandland maybe kept upby a lowerprice, than if therewere no such immigration . It thereforediminishes the period during which the labourer must work for hire, and by the rapid progress which it imparts to the best sort of colonization, it explains to the labouring class of immigrants, that every oneof them who is industrious and thrifty, may be sure to become not merely an owner of land, but also in his turn, an employer of hired labourers, a master of servants. From these considerations, the Company has adopted the same system of disposing of its waste lands, as has already proved highly fa- vourable to the productiveness of industry in South Australia. In a new colony,- planted in a fertile and extensive territory, it is obvious, that the establishment of such a system is a matter of the deepest moment to the future welfare of society. "From it the best effects may with confidencebe anticipated : a constant and regular supply of new land in due propor- tionto the wants of a population increasing by births andimmigration; all the advantages to which faci ties of transport and communication are essential ; certainty of limits, and security of title to property in land ; the greatest facili- ties on acquiring the due quantity ; the greatest enc uragement to immigration and settlement; and e the most rapid progress of the people in mat rial comfort and social improvement." The Land Office for Sales and Transfers is now open at Port Nicholson, and the land is soldinsections of 100acres each, at £1 per acre. The advantage of purchasing before the sur- veys arein a sufficiently forwardstate to allow of immediateselection, is, that the priority of choice is secured in the order in which the registration of the purchase is made.

and twenty able andactive persons, wouldbyunited efforts, be able to convey the vesselsover any such impedimentsas may reasonblybe expected tobe met with.

Saving's Bank.— We would suggest thepropriety of immediately forming a SavingsBank. It would be auxiliary to the policeforce bycompetingwith drunkenness for thespare means of the workingman;and gener-allybeneficial to the Colony by adding to our"hoarded-labour," as the economists callcapital.

Bya privateletterdated"Glasgow,Nov. 2,1839," we learn that J. Crawford, Esq., theindefatigable Secretary to theSociety institu-tedin Scotland, for thepurpose of promotingEmigration to NewZealand,has alreadyform-edthe nucleus for a secondexpedition,whichwas to sail fromthe Clyde in January. Wemay,consequently, expect the vessel in thecourse of thenext month.

A whale hasbeen killedat Patterson's sta-tion by Evans' party. Ityielded10 tons ofoil. It is said this is full a month earlierthanwhalesareusuallytakeninCook'sStraits,and promises wellfor a propitious season.

Mr. Barrett proposes running the cutter"Harriet" betweenthis Beach and Lambtonbay,with freight, so long as he receives suffi-cient encouragement. Mr. Wright also in-tendsestablishing aferrybo&.t. Capt.Daniell'sboat runs daily across the bay, with pas-sengers and cargo. The headsman is Mr.Laurence.

Narrow Escape fromDrowning.— OnThursdayafternoon,aboutfour o'clock, awhaleboatput off fromthebeach, with Capt. Hayand two seamen, for the purpose of going toLamptonHarbour. A strong south-eastwindprevailingat the time, the boatby some acci-dent was overturned,andthe wholeparty im-mersedin the water. Toomuch praise can-notbe giventoMr. Pryce,the chief-officerofthe "Adelaide," for the promptitudewhichhedisplayedindispatchingMs boattotheirassist-ance, when Captain Hay and his men werespeedily rescued. .Captain Clayton, of theschooner "Ariel," alsoput off to their assist-ance.

MEETING OF THE COUNCIL.Saturday, April 18, 1840.

Dr. Evans askedifsome arrangementcouldbemade, for apublic building,to serve as aPolice Court, TownHall,&c.

The Presidentreplied, thathe wasintreatywith Mr.Moreingfor a building to be devo-ted to thosepurposes.

Dr.Evans statedthat he hadnot beenableyet to prepare a set of rules, to submit to theCouncil, for the future conduct of their busi-ness.

The President called the attentionof theCouncil to the expediency of affording com-pensationfor growing crops,andother oxitlaysto lease-holdersunder the New ZealandLandCompany, when the land shall be surveyedandopenfor selection, under the regulationsofthe Company.

clamationof thekindmay so be considered."We say this, because Proclamations (evenwhenissuedby the Queen) and law are notone andthe same, though it is not unusual todisregardor to be ignorant of thedistinction.

We insert to-day the early proceedings ofCaptainHobsonat the Bay of Islands, bywhichfurther proof is furnished thathe con-siders, as all the Proclamations declare, thatthe Queen is without sovereignty in theseIslands,untilactually obtained by voluntarycessionfrom the local chiefs. Had we ob-tained the sovereigntyof this portion of theIsland, of course it could only be for theQueen, as British subjects cannot acquiresovereigntybut for their country. We havenot doneso

—wehave not attemptedto do so;

but acting under the various Proclamationsissuedinrelation to these Islands, have ac-cepted a Constitution from the SovereignChiefs,placing a limit to theirdespotic power.

In the absence of tliis truly importantdocument, some designingpersonmighthaveinstigated the chiefs to thework of extortion,in imitation of European despotism. Ofcourse such an abuse of sovereignty wouldhavebeen resisted, and successfully, but thennot legally,without this Constitution. Self-protectionwould have made it necessary toassume andexercise all the powersof consti-tuted government;but we should have beensubject tofutureannoyancefromthemalicious,supported by the bad. With it we are notonly morally,but legally, strong against all;and willcompel obedienceto thelaws wemayadopt and enact, alike from the resident andthe visitor.

Since writing the forgoing, we learn thatCaptain Pearson has made his escape. Heought to beretaken, if possible. The ques-tion doesnot relateto his innocence or guilt,but to whether the power of this communityshall or shall not be defied. Ifwe are to bedefiedsuccessfully, everybadman ashoreandon boardwill act as he may see fit. Ratherthan allow Captain Pearson to remain atliberty or in safety on board his ship, wewouldcall out thepeople to pursue him andthose whoaided in his rescue. We are noadvocates for the violent exercise of power;but we feel if we consent to be defiedby anyindividual,behe whohe may, it will not be:longbefore it will be found we are withoutsafety for lives orproperty. This is a mostimportant matter, inwhich all Colonists arealikeinterested; and we bid them, therefore,if theydesire peace, law,and order, to lookto it.

Captain Pearson notifies us that he has|authorityfor stating that no escape warranthasbeen issuedagainst him. In answer, wehave only to reply, that our authority wassufficient to justify our statement. Thewarrant was issued, but we are informedwassuspended,under the prospect of an.amicablearrangement, whichwe hope may take place.

We have been informedthat the mannerinwhich the words "Council

"and "Com-

mitte"

wereusedin thelast number of thisjournalhas ledtosomeconfusion. Onrefer-encei it willbe seen that the wordCommitteewas used in the "ProvisionalConstitution"and thatthe wordCouncilhasbeensubstitutedin the "Ratification andExtension," by theChiefs of Port Nicholson. Henceforward,the former will be dropped, and the latterwordused, as that whichis strictly correct.

It was with regret weheard of his Excel-lency, CaptainHobson, R.N.,havingexperi-enced a violentattack of paralysis, since hisarrivalat theBay ofIslands. We aregladtobe able toreport thathis Excellencywas in astateofconvalescence,whenthe"Ariel,"Capt.Clayton, left the Bay of Islands.

It has beenproposed to form an exploringparty to endeavour to visit the source of theriverHutt.

LAND SALES.

For the instruction of those who are notacquainted with the sales which tookplace inLondon, under the title of the "First andPrincipal Settlement of the New ZealandLand Company," it maybe wellto make thefollowingbriefstatement.

The Company opened a book for the names

[This articlewas written for our lastnum-ber, but we think it proper to insertit now,with slight alterations.]

Our constabularyforce, immediatelyon itsformation, was called into action; but Capt.Pearsonrefused to recognize the legality ofthe Court.

We are wellpleased that the first personsubjected to our assertion of law is of suffi-cient standing and intelligence to raise thequestionofour right toactunder the sovereignpowerofthe district. CaptainPearsonwillfindthat theconstitutedauthorities ofPortNicholsson havepower to compel obedience, whichthey will not hesitate to exercise,— though,we trust, leniently, raider the circumstances.Prudence, wehope, will teach Capt. Pearsonthepropriety of submission. This,we think,he cando,by ifnotwithoutprotesting,andpre-serve his legal recourse against this commu-nity,if therebe any, either inSydney or inEngland, should hel>e inclined to enter uponthe costly attempt of law proceedings insuchacase.

It is probable tlae authorities at Sydneymay think us daring and,presumptious, forusing the only legalmeans of self-protectionin ourpower. Shouldthey,they wouldpossi-bly like to

"catchus tripping;"

but we feelassured they understand the question ofsovereignty sufficiently wellto hesitate beforethey meddlein the matter. They would finditno slight difficulty to subject us to theirtribunals; and withour right of appeal fromtheir decision, not only to the Courts ofEngland,but to the Powers of Europe,— ofwhich we should of course avail ourselves tothe fullest,— wouldbe careful of the coursepursued. "We have not a doubt thateventheEnglishCourts wouldsustain the legalityiofour proceedings andposition.

Captain Pearsonassertedthat the Procla-mation issued by Sir George Gipps,— andthat of his Lieutenant, Captain Hobson,—claimed sovereignty over all New Zealand.CaptainHobson's Proclamation was insertedin our last paper; but for convenience, we'extract the passage immediately relating tothe subject.

this Bay. The northern extremityof theinnerharbour is a sandybeach of nearly three mileslong. Evans'andLambton Bays having theirmouths tothenorthandnorth-east, areshelteredagainst the south-eastern wind, which blowsabout one-thirdof the year,andfrequentlywithextreme violence;while the northern part ofthe harbourhaving its entrance to the south, isonly partially sheltered by Somes' Island. Itis often verydifficultto landgoods there, whilelanding takesplace atall times with ease, andsecurity against damage, inLambtonBay.

When abeacon isplaced on the reef, and alighthouse on the eastern headland, it willbeaseasy torunor beat intoPortNicholsonas intoanyharbourin the world,byday ornight. Thesafetyof the port is attested by the fact, thatthirty vessels haveentered, and about twenty-two have departed, since the arrival of the"Tory," without the assistance of any pilot,andunattendedby the slightest accidentof anykind. Nor have theyawaitedfavourablewinds,buthave workedin or outat their own conve-nience.It is -clear from this description, that Port

Nicholson is a harbourof exceedingly easy ac-cess, and it is therefore astonishingthat so fewvessels should have hitherto visited this port;andthemoreso, as its settlementsaffordalargersupply of theproduce of the Straits thaneitherCloudy Bay or Queen Charlotte's Sound. Thereef, or rather the report of their being a bar,has been so effective that with the exceptionof the Missionary schooner from the Bay ofIslands, novessels have visiteditfor two yearspreviously to thearrivalof theCompany's ship,the

"Tory," in September last;and this has

been the case, though the numerous whalingvessels resorting to this coast are frequentlygreatly inconvenienced for the want of freshprovisions.

Somes'Islandisofconsiderablesize,andcom-manding as it does the entrances to the innerharbour, and the wholeextentof thehills to theeast and west, which encircle Port Nicholson,has been considered well adapted for a fort.There are now four large guns anda powdermagazineuponit.

On thenorthern extremitya valuable streamof water, uniting with three smaller streams,falls into the harbour. This river has beennamed the Hutt, and at high water there areabout seven feet water in it. Three mile?from the mouth, there is a rise of tide of twofeet andahalf. Theriver has been examined-about 12 miles, and was found to be of equalsize, and tohaveas great adepthofwaterasnearthe harbour. It is supposed that theHuttwillbe found toaffordgoodboat communication fora distancebetweenforty and fifty miles. After aperiodofheavyrain itdischargesa largequanti-ty of waterat a rapidity of four miles an hour.Itis veryserpentineinits course, andatpresentis very much choked at its numerous bendswith treesandsand, formingdamsinsomeplacesofseveral feet lu'gh; the removalof which caneaselybe accomplished, andwillbe, ashasbeenprovedby theremovalof twoor three, attendedwithchecking theoverflowingofthebankswhichhas occured since our arrival. Unfortunatelythereis a sandbarat themouthof these streams,which cannot be overcome, in the opinion ofmany resident here, without an outlay whichconnot be provided thus earlyby the colonists.Inmust notbe inferredfromthis that theriveris unavailable now, for even at present, boatscarrying many tons, are constantly ascending "

and descending theHutt, but are obliged tore-gard the timeof tide to pass in or out of theriver. Itis supposedthatnearly all thesurveysof country lands willbe in the valley throughwhichthe Hutt runs.

The mouthsof these streams, backedas theyare witha large valley, andhavinga finebeach,whichit was intendedtopreservei'ov publicuse,suggestedthemas theproper site for the prin-cipal city. The goodnessofthe foundation forbuilding uponinallparts of the site was doubt-ful;it was feared fromcertain indications, thatthe spot was subjected to periodical inunda-tion;and that the expence of drainage andkeeping out the water wouldgreatly surpass themeans possessed by an infant City. Aftermuchcareful and prolonged examination andanxious consideration, the justifiable characterof thesefears anddoubtssuggested theprudenceof making Lambton Harbour the site of thetown. It is abeautiful spot, andis said to re-semble inits form, theland onwhichNaples isbuilt. The zeal, activity and perseverance, ofthe Surveyor-Generalandhis staff .lead us to,hope, that in twomonths the townach,;willbe.open toselection. V{'*>-

We gather the substance of the followingdescription from a journal which has kindlybeen placed at our disposal. As we purposeweeklygiving someaccount of theNew ZealandLand Company's territories, andotherportionsof New Zealand, our fellowColonists wouldbeserving the common good by affording us alltheinformationthey nowpossess, andmayfromtime to time acquire.

PortNicholson is situated on theeastern endof theNorthIsland,in Cook's Straits. On both,sides, at theentrance, there are headlands;buton the westernside, there is apoint from whicha reef runsoff: allthe rocks,however,of whichitis formed, including the outermost, are farabovehigh water mark. The eastern side ofthe entranceis a very bold headland. In oneof the charts, the harbour is represented ashaving abar atthe entrance. Itis evidentthisportion of thechart was suggested by the ap-pearance, andnot derived from a survey. Atsome distancefromthe harbour, the reef doesappear toextendacross theentrance, but uponbeing approached, is found to be as alreadydescribed.

Theharbour,since itcameinto thepossessionof theNew ZealandLandCompany, has beenverycarefully soundedandsurveyedby CaptainChaffers, while in command of the

"Tory."

The shallowestsoundings foundfrom theeasternheadland, and reef on the west side, to theanchorage, withinonemile and a half of thenorthern extremityof the harbour, is eight andahalf fathoms.

The distance from the headlands to thenorthern extremity of the beach is 12 miles.Thege isgoodshelter,and the holding groundisalpce excellentonallpartsof PortNicholson.For convenience, we will speak of the port ashaving aninner andan outer harbour. Thereis anisland, now calledSomes' Island,whichissituatedabouthalf way between the headlandand reef and the northern extremity of theharbour; this island separates the harbours.The outer harbour, which extends from theentrance to theoutsideof Somes'Island,is longand narrow, of a channel shape. On theeasternside, thereis a smallislandcalledWard'sIsland. The entrance to the inner harbourgenerally selectedby sailors,is betweenWard'sand Somes'Island. TheharbourwithinSomes'Islandis rather more than double the breadthof theouterharbour, the wholeof theincreasebeing on the westernside. Onthe westernsidethe land to the southis indentedwith two bays,The first called Evans' Bay, is of a channe.shape,andresemblestheouter harbour, but isless thanhalfits width,and the shoresofEvans'Bay have a greater declivity. The sea inCook's Straits can easily be approachedfromitsextremity, which is nearly due south. " Here-after itwill doubtless be much resorted to byships having to repair orrefit. Immediatelyadjoining Evans' Bay, but to the west of itsand only separatedby a very narrow ridge ofloftyland,is abeautifulbay,nowcalledLambtonHarbour; its extremity is also to the south.Communication fromit with the endof Evans'Bay isperfectly easy. Itis aboutonemile andahalf broad. The side towardsEvans' Bay isdeep,and wharves can be erected here at anexpence somoderate, as tobe quite within themeans of the earliest Colonists. On this sidethereis only space for a road, and the shore isrocky. The southerly and westerly sides of thebay areshallow;wharvesmay also be erectedboreata moderatecost,but not for a largeclassojff vessels. The shoreon these sides is a finesmiftgle beach. The soundings are about sevenfjpitorns within 400 yards of the extremity of

The greatinterest whichnowattaches to theunionofNew Zealandwith theBritishEmpire,induces us tobelieve that thefollowingdetailswill, be acceptable to our readers. In onepointof view

—namely, as a recordof the first

formationof theunion betweenacivilizedanda savage state by treaty, it deserves tobe pre-served. Whatever may be the issue of theproposed confederation, after ages willderiveinstruction fromperusing the account of theinitiativemeasure towardstheaccomplishmentof anobject altogethernovel..

On the30th January,Captain Hobsonpub-lished two proclamations,which were readinthe Church ofKororarika. The firstof thesedocuments announces that theQueen of GreatBritain, &c, havingdirectedmeasures tobetakenfor the establishment.of a-settledform-ofCivilGovernmentover those ofher Majesty'ssubjects, who now are, or heareafter maybesettled in New Zealand, has issued LettersPatent, under theGreat Seal of the UnitedKingdom, bearingdate 15th June, 1839, ex-tendingtheboundariesof the Colony of NewSouthWales, so as to comprehend any partof New Zealand which maybe acquired insovereignty by the Crown of England; andthat by Commission, under the Royal SignManual, Captain Hobson, R.N., was ap-pointedLieutenantGovernorofany so acquir-ed New Zealandterritory.

The second proclamation states" that her

Majesty, taking intoconsiderationthepresent,as wellas the future intrests of her Majesty'ssubjects in New Zealand, and also the rightsand interestsof the Chiefs and Native Tribes,does not deem it expedient to recognize asvalidanytitles to landinNew Zealand, whichare not derived from, or confirmed by herMajesty;" "but inorder to dispelanyappre-hension that it is intended to dispossess theowners of land acquired on equitable terms,and not in anywise prejudicial to the presentor prospective interestsof the community, herMajestyhasbeenpleasedtodirectthe appoint-ment ofa Commission, with certainpowers tobederivedfromthe LegislatureofNew SouthWales, before whichallpersonshavingclaimswill

4be required to prove them." After the

dateof theproclamation,"allpurchaseof landin any part of New Zealand, which maybemadefrom the Chiefs or Native Tribes, willbe considered absolutely null and void, andwillnot be confirmed,or inany wayrecognizedbyher Majesty." The dateoftheProclama-tion is January14. 1840. What follows wecopy from the Sydney Herald :—:

—Monday,Feb. 3.— HisExcellency land-

ed to receive an addresspresentedbyCaptainClayton andthe inhabitants ofKororarika.

Wednesday, Feb. 5.— This being theday appointedby his Excellency to meet theChiefs of, and about the Bay of Islands, tohold a conference and offer a treaty for theiracceptance, a great number of Natives andEuropeans assembledon the groundsattachedto Mr.Busby's residence, wherea large tenthad been erectedfor the occasion, under thesuperintendance of the first lieutenant ofH.M.S. "Herald",measuringabout 100 feetby30

—at one endof which a platform with a

table andseats was arranged. At noon,hisExcellency took his seat at the table, the gen-tlemen of the Church Mission beingon hisright, the French Bishop and apriest, withthe gentlemen attached to his Excellency on

his left,the Rev. W. WilliamsandMr.Busbyon either side assistingas interpreters. About200natives with the chiefs infront, andabout100 Europeanshaving assembled within thetent, the Europeans forming behind thenatives.

His Excellency commencedtheproceedingsby anaddress to thenative chiefs, which wasinterpretedsentence by sentence. His Ex-cellencybeganby stating that England was,thank God,afreecountry. Englishmen couldgo to any partof the worldthey chose;manyof themhadcome to settlehere. HerMajes-ty alwaysready to protect,had also the pow-er to restrainher subjects; and her Majestywished the chiefs ofNew Zealandto give herthe power to protect as well as to restrainthem

—lie was sentbyher Majesty to request

thatobject publicly; theythemselveshadoftenrequestedher Majesty to extendher protec-tion to them. Whathedidwasopenandaboveboard;he. didnot go to onechiefinpreferenceto another;he came to treat with all openly.He wouldgive them time to consider thepro-posals hehad come to offer; thatwhathe wassent to do was expressly for their own good—and her Majesty now offers them her pro-tectionby this treaty; it was unnecessary tosay more, but he w.ould readit to them.

Thetreaty was then readbyhisExcellency,and a translationof it by the Rev. Mr. Wil-liams, the substance ofwhichwas to the sameeffect as the address; after which severalofthe chiefs addressed his Excellency. TheRev. Mr. Williams interpreting rather in anunder tone, someoftheresidentsofKororarikarequestedthattheinterpretationmight begivenmore publicly, throwing some.doubts uponthe translation as given by the Rev. Mr.Williams, and proposing one of their partyas a goodlinguist, whobeingcalledupon byhis Excellency, was unwilling to act. HisExcellency then stated that if any one presentthought thathecouldinterpretbetterthanMr.Williams, he wouldbe glad to hear -him, asitwas agreatobject to ascertain thesentimentsof thechiefs asnearlyas possible. The causeof this discussion aroseinconsequence ofoneof the chiefs alluding tosome landswhichhad"been disposedof to Mr. Williams, the gentle-men ofthe Mission,andMr. Busby, which itwasthought wasnot exactlyinterpreted. Mr.Williams, explained, and at thesame timeex-pressedhisfeelings as to the oppositionwhichhadbeen so longmanifested against the Mis-sion generally, and himself personally. Itwas quite true that hedid hold landsinNewZealand, -but it was also true that he hadbrought up a family of eleven children, allborn on the island, whichhe thought a goodtitle tohold land. He hopedhis claimswouldbe the first to be investigated, and he wasready to give every information to any onerespecting his lands, and to point them out.He wassorry that the Missionhadbeen madea bridge to walk upon by individuals who hadso much opposed them, and who had, uponinnumerableoccasions, applied to the Missionfor advice and interference. Mr. Busby, inreference to what had been applied to him,stated the footinghe had beenplacedupon asBritish Consul, the income of which wasscarcely adequate to provide for his family.He hadalways been solicitedby theChiefs topurchase lands, and he had expendedmuchtime, and experiencedmuchdifficultyinbring-ing his purchases to a conclusion, in con-sequence of the number of claimants, and hemade a specific clause inall his agreements,that 30 acres were to be allotted to every in-dividual of the families from whom he hadpurchasedland, andthebestproofof thegood-willof the natives towards himself and Mr.Williams, was expressed by the very chiefwho had caused the discussion, who was ofopinion that the country should remain as itwas, and he would besatisfied to be guided,as heretofore, by the advice and counsel ofMr. Williams andhimself(Mr.Busby).

The business then proceededbythe variousChiefs addressing his Excellency, but thefigurativelanguageof the Chiefs rendereditvery difficult to translate, and thejsubstanceofthe speeches could onlybe given. Thereap-peared tobe considerableoppositionat firsttothe idea of havinga governor over them, butthat a governormight comeandexercise auth-ority over the Europeans. They had beentold thatif they signed the Treatythey wouldbecome slaves, hewers ofwoodauddrawersofwater, andbe driven to break stones on theroad. Tarika, theoldestchief ofKororarika,was desperately opposedto themeasure, andworked himself up to a frenzy against it.The discussionwascarriedonwithmuch anima-tion, some in favour and some against, thespeakers walkingup and down, according totheircustom. Theirgreatestapprehensionwasthat they wouldbemade slaves, and thatsol-!diers wouldbe sent among them. At fouro'clock the conference was adjournedto Fri-day, in order to give them time to consider-the proposals.

Thursday.— Many Chiefs with their at-tendantshaving arrived at the Bayof Islands,fromHokianga, theThames,andvariousparts,

THE &EW ZEALAND GAZETTE.andbeingdesirousof returning to theirrespec-tiveabodesassoon aspossible,at their'requestthe Governormet them. There wasagreaterassembly of natives than yesterday, andsome few Europeans chanced to be present.After a shortdiscussion,and a few speechesfrom thenewly arrived, they begantosign theTreaty,' and severalwho had violently oppos-ed it yesterday were the first to sign theirnames to-day. The Catholic Bishop beingpresentrequested thatitmightbeexplainedtothe natives that allpersuasionsofreligionwereto be toleratedand protected, which was ac-cordingly madeknown;andhisExcellencyex-pressed muchgratificationthattheBishop waspresent, as he wishedall theproceedingstobeas open and candidas possible. Upwards ofthirty ChiefshadsignedtheTreatybeforeCap-tainRobertsonhadleft theground.

The whole wasthen submitted to"chance, and drawn for ac-cordingly. ' Every " drawing was for 100country acres and onehownacre. Thepriceof each choice or sextion was £100, ofwhich75 per cent was to heexpendeduponemigra-tion to thissettlement. The Companyfurtherpledged themselves togive to these first pur-chasers the verybest landtobe found intheirterritory,and to doallintheir power to ren-der it the most important of all their settle-ments. Our record ofsaleshere will, whennot expressly stated, have reference to there-sale of these country sections and townacres.

Five sections with their town acres, beingchoices betweennumbers 200 and 300, havebeenresoldtoaSydney gentleman,for £1365.

One townacre, ahighnumber, wassold at£40. . " ' "

One fourth of town acre number 29 hasbeensoldat £100.

We are sorry to find that some personsareinclinedto state the sales of land above theprice actuallypaid. This is unwise; insteadof puffing our lands, letus shew that we areentitled to a reputation for honesty, industry,intelligence, and perseverance. With thesequalities,'and the natural resources of NewZealand, we cannot fail to .succeed fully aswellas rationalpersons canreasonablyexpectto do.
