" Good   books  are like true friends;  they  will
   never  fail us;  never cease  to instruct—never

THE  great topic of the day in all the
English and Danish dominions, was the
union of H.  R. H.  the Prince of
Wales  with the Princess Alexandra of
Denmark, which propitious event took
place at St. George's Chapel, Windsor,
ou the 10th of March 1863.

  The  national rejoicings were im-
mense and prolonged, and the ornamen-
tal displays upon which an enormous
amount  of money and labour were
expended, called forth the admiration
of all classes; whilst the enthusiastic
greetings for the Bride and Bridegroom,
were  poured forth from thousands
upon  thousands  of joyous hearts.
The  Maoris alone who  have visited
England  would  be able to form a
conception of the vastness, and gran-
deur of the demonstrations in honor
oi the Queen's eldest son, the Prince
" Ko nga pukapuka papai, e penei ana me nga hoa

of Wales,  and  his  beautiful Bride.

   The English newspapers tell us, in
reference to the marriage ceremonial,
that a large asssembly of distinguished
personages awaited the coming of the
principal actors of the scene, in St.
 George's Chapel, and when  all the
seats were  occupied, the appearance
was most gorgeous, and the eye was
 dazzled with pearls and diamonds, gold
 and silver in profusion..


   Her Majesty the Queen proceeded
 privately from Windsor to St. George's
 Chapel.  The Queen  was attired in
 deep mourning, and during the whole
 of the ceremony, exhibited the greatest
 interest in every thing that passed, and
 was occasionally seen to weep.



.  When  the procession of royal guests
 arrived at the West end of St. George's
 Chapel, the Master of Ceremonies was
 in waiting, who with the Gentlemen
 Ushers conducted  the guests to the
 seats which  had been  prepared for
 them, the silence being broken only
 by the trumpets and drums.

    The  Archbishop of Canterbury;
 the Bishop of London, the Bishop oi
 Oxford, and many  other distinguished
  Prelates, wearing   their sacerdotal
  robes, stood within the altar.
    His Royal  Highness's procession
  having been formed, the Lord Cham-
  berlain conducted the Bridegroom
  and his supporters to the choir, on
  reaching which, the trumpets and
  drums ceased, and the organ and Her
  Majesty's Band performed a march.
  The Bridegroom was conducted to the
  place prepared for him, near to the
Piriniha o Wara, raua ko tana Tahu
marutuna.

rangi ki nga tikanga 6 tenei marena-

noho  ana, korakorako  ana  ki te
kanapanapa  mai  o te peara, o te
taimona, o te koura, o te hiriwa,—
whakarewa kau ana!
   Ko te Kuini i haere ngaro atu i
tona whare  i Winiha, ki te whare
karakia o Hana Hori. I pango nga
kakahu  o te Kuini, ko te tohu ia o
 tona pouarutanga;  a, i roto i te
 panuitanga o nga karakia, tau tonu
 te taringa ki te whakarongo i nga
 tikanga katoa o taua marenatanga,
 a, i heke nga roimata, titiro rawa
 atu e tangi ana a Kuini.
   I te taenga o te haere a te Piriniha
 ki te tomokanga ki te taha hauauru
 o te whare karakia o Hana Hori, e
 tu ana te tumuaki  karanga i te

 arataki i te haere ki nga nohoanga,

 ko  te tangi o nga  tetere, o nga

coming of the Bride with that manly
and royal bearing that became his
illustrious birth and exalted station.

                                                                                          
  On  reaching the Haut Pas, the
Princess Alexandra  made  a  deep
reverence to the Queen; and when
the ladies and gentleman forming her
procession had taken their places, the
band  and choir performed a chorale,
the music of which was composed by
the late Prince Consort.
                                          *

   These are the words:—
     This day with joyful heart and voice,
     To heaven  be raised a nations prayer
     Almighty  Father, deign to grant,
     Thy blessing to the wedded Pair !
     So shall no clouds of sorrow dim,
     The sunshine of their early days ;
     But happiness in endless round,
     Shall still encompass all their ways.
   All remained standing during the
performance  of the piece, and it is
 stated by spectators, that moved by
 the memory of the illustrious compo-
 ser, the Queen wept bitterly.
   At the conclusion of the chorale the
 Archbishop of Canterbury began the
 marriage  service.  After the  first
 benediction, the 67th Psalm "God be
 merciful unto us" was sung, the mu-
 sical performers  on the  occasion,
 amounting to one hundred and fifty.
 At the conclusion of the service, which
 was most impressive, the Prince and
 Princess of Wales left the Chapel in
 procession.


   The Royal party was conducted to
 the Palace, where the  attestation of
 the marriage  took  place by  the
 royal  guests,  the  Church   dig-
 nitaries, the Lord Chancellor, and
 other Ministers of the Crown.

  Fathers and  Friends,—Salutations to all
of you.  My love for you all is very great— 
for those who are ill and those who are well. 1
  Friends and Fathers,—The sentiments of ]
the chiefs of this Island are most excellent. :
They are most friendly to me and to you all; 
and their ancestor and ours was one.
  They are urging me to remain at Rarotonga
to be their chief, but I have not yet consent-
ed to their request. When Kainuku and I
come  to Auckland, then we shall be able to
decide, after the matter is discussed.
   This is a good country: there is little work
done  here.  I have travelled over the whole
place, and have seen that it is good. I have
 cultivated the soil. It is a good place for the
 orphan, for the labour of the soil is light.
   Sufficient of this.
   I have heard from the newspapers which
 have come to this place from Auckland, that
 there is war in New  Zealand—that the
 Pakeha were attacked.
                 From PAORA TUHAERE.



            SAW MILLS.
 As the Thames district abounds in fine kauri
 timber, with easy access to it, we had hoped
 long ere this, that the Natives would have
 erected, at their own cost, a saw mill, which
 would have brought them in a steady income;
 but in this respect they do not seem inclined
 to follow the good example sel them by their
 European neighbours.
   On  the peninsular of which Gape Colville
 is the Northern extremity, there are no fewer
 than  seven saw Mills, four of which have
 been  supplying the Auckland market with
 timber for a considerable period, too nearly
 completed, and one about to be built.
   At Coromandel Harbour, there is one at
 the Waiau creek the property of Mr. Tothill;
 at Te Tiki, Messrs Heron & Co., proposed
 to build one; one al Te Rauotehuia, belonging
 to  the Messrs. Ring,  At Kikowhakarere,
 one,  Messrs. Callaway  and  Butland; al
 Umangawha  one, Messrs, David, Heron & Co.;
 at  Harataunga, one, Mr.  M'Gregor;  at
 Whangapoua,  one, Messrs. Craig & Co.; and
 at Mercury  Bay, one, Messrs. Schapp and
 Ansenne.
    The Natives look on, and admire the
  enterprise, energy and industry of their
  European friends in carrying on the limber
  trade; but the Maori fail to put forth their
  own energies ia a similar manner, and no

  THE PRINCE OF WALES.
 ALBERT EDWARD, the eldest son of
 Queen VICTORIA, was born Novem-
 ber 9th,  1841, and,  therefore, on
 November 9th, 1862, he completed
 his  twenty-first year.
   " Prince of Wales" was the appel-
 lation given to the second  son  of
 King EDWARD  I,  who annexed
 Wales  to  the English Crown   in
 1276, and ever since that period the
 eldest son of the English monarch
 has taken the title.

   Few   Princes have attained their
 majority under more favourable aus-
 pices than  our  present Prince  of
 Wales.    Blessed by  a kind  Provi-
 dence with  good  health, and, until
 twenty  years of age, with the wise
 counsels and constant care of a good
 father, no heir to England's throne
 ever  enjoyed such  advantages  as
 ALBERT EDWARD.

     ST. DOMINGO, OR HAYTI.
WE  give a brief history of the above island,
in accordance with the wishes of our friends.
   Hayti, next to Cuba, is the largest of the
West  India Islands, and was discovered by
Columbus in 1492.  It is upwards of 400
miles in length from  East to West,  and
averages more  than 100  miles in breadth.
The  town of La Isabella was founded by
Columbus  on the North Coast, which was
the first settlement of the Spaniards in the
New  World.  At the time of the discovery
the  Natives numbered  one million, all of
 whom  perished in the space of fifty years.

   Numbers of slaves from Africa were im-
 ported by the Spaniards to work the mines
 of the Island, and after a time the blacks
 were employed in the cultivation of sugar,
 tobacco, cocoa, cassia, ginger, and cotton.
   The  Spaniards quitted St. Domingo in
 great numbers, seeking wealth on the con-
 tinent, but they retained possession till 1663,
 when  the French  gained a footing on its
 Western shores, and laid the foundation of
 a flourishing colony.
   In October 1790  James Oge,  a free
 Mulatto, returned from Paris and pat himself
 at the head of the negroes, who were es-
 timated in the French part of St. Domingo
 at about. 500,000; but he was  defeated,
 captured, and broken alive on the wheel in
 1791.

   Al this time 8,000 troops arrived from
 France, and the new Governor was brutally
 murdered by his own soldiers. In September
 1791, a truce was signed between the whites
 and  Mulattos, soon after, however, war
 broke out in all its horrors, and no fewer
 than  10*000 negroes  and  Mulattos, it is
 estimated, perished by the sword and famine,
 in the space of two months, and 2,000 whites
 were massacred.

   In 1793  a body of British forces landed
 and  took possession of upwards of ninety
 miles of the Eastern Coast of the Island. 1
 was  a disastrous expedition, for in less than
 six  months  after their arrival, 6,000  fell
 victims:to  disease.  In  1798  the  British
 abandoned  the Island.  At  this time the
 Spanish  part of the Island was taken pos-
aroaro o nga iwi Maori, a heoti nei te pai-
nga e tae am ana ki a ia, ko nga utu anake
mo nga kauri e tu noa mai ra i te wao nui o
Tane.

session of by Touissant L' Ouverture, whose
army of negroes numbered 100,000.
  the  independence of St. Domingo was
proclaimed in 1801, and while the inhabitants
were indulging the hope of future happiness,
a storm  was gathering, which burst upon
them with accumulated fury. A formidable
armament  of twenty-six ships of war was
equipped  by order of Napoleon, with the
determination of reducing the revolted colony
of St. Domingo.   On board this fleet were
embarked  25,000  chosen  troops, amply
furnished with all the appliances of military
slaughter.



   The  French  forces arrived in January
 1802, and Touissant, the reigning Prince,
 having refused to admit the claims of the
 French, war  commenced.   After several
 conflicts in the open field, the blacks were
 overpowered and  compelled to retire into
 the interior of the country, and carried on a
 desultory war under  their brave Chieftain
 Touissant, destroying many of their enemies.
 At  length, however,  the negroes  were
 subdued, and  the  French  General, Le
 Clerce, having  solemnly  promised  that
 the inhabitants of St. Domingo, of all colors,
 should  be preserved inviolate, the people
 agreed to the French rule.




   The  French having obtained possession of
 the whole island, they began to put in execu-
 tion their system of Government. The black
 Chieftains again raised their standard, and
 were soon found at the head of a considerable
 body of troops ready to renew the struggle.
 Many  and desperate were the contests which
 ensued;  and the harrassing war and disease
 having made great inroads upon the French
 armies, they were glad to surrender them-
 selves  as prisoners  of  war  to a  British
 squadron, and were conveyed to England,
 there being a  war  at the time between
 England and France.
    Hayti was   again free, and  Dessalines
 created the West, or  French part, into an
 Empire, of which be became Emperor under
 the title of Jacques, in the month of January
 1804.  His reign was of short duration; his

civil war. In the North Christophe assumed
the Government,  while Petion, a Mulatto,
asserted his claim to sovereign power. War-
fare continued  between  these rival Chiefs
till the year 1810, when the country again
enjoyed the blessings of peace.
  In 1811 Christophe was crowned King of
Hayti, by the title of Henry I., and Petion
a» president of Hayti governed the Southern
part.  In 1818 Petion died, and was suc-
ceeded by General Boyer.

   Christophe's reign, like that of his pre-
decessor, was  short.  A   conspiracy was
formed  against him, and  finding himself
surrounded  by an overwhelming force, he
 committed suicide in 1820.

   Boyer now  took possession of the whole
 Island, and the Spaniards having acknow-
 ledged him in 1821, Hayti once more was
 blessed with peace.
   ID 1825  a  treaty was concluded with
 France, the independence of Hayti was ac-
 knowledged, and the Haytians agreed to pay
 to the French 150 million of francs, in five
 yearly payments.  The  first instalment of
 3O millions was paid in 1836, and in 1838
 it was agreed to reduce the original sum to
 60 million francs.





 A VOICE FROM AFAR, WITH MORE
      "TALK  ABOUT HAYTI."
   O  Maoris! kingites of New Zealand, you
 delight in the use of parables, and love to
 argue by the aid of fancy and  similitudes.
 Instead of  producing solid proofs and rea-
 sons, as the manner is with us, you will re-
 cite a tale, or sing a song! Our words are
 only used by  us, to display our thoughts, as
 the clear and bright white glass permits the
 light, and the eye, freely to penetrate it, and
  which by its purity reveals all that is within
 it, or beyond it. Your words  too often re-
  semble the ordinary bottles of green glass,
  which darkly cover their interior, and reveal
  but indistinctly their contents. Some of your
  similitudes are good, but most of them are
  bad. When  they are very bad they resemble
  then the thick shallow calabash (hollowed
  gourd), which  indeed may  contain good
  liquor, but the eye cannot penetrate its rind,
  or know what may be within it.
pakanga.   Ka tu ko Kiritopi ki te tango i te
Kawanatanga  ki a ia, a whakatika ana ko
Petiona ki te kukume atu i te kawanatanga
ki a ia. Pakanga tonu  enei rangatira toko-
rua, pa noa ki te tau 1810, a tau ana te
 rangimarie ki taua motu, i tana wahi.
   I te tau 1811 karaunatia ana a Kiritopi ko
 te kingi o Haiti, tona ingoa hou ko Henere
 te I.; a ko Petiona i tu hei tumuaki mo
 Haiti, nana i kawana te taha tunga. I te
 taa 1818 ka mare a  Petiona, a ko Tienara
 Poea te kai whakakapi i tona turanga.
   Ko te kingitanga o Kiritopi i pera ano me
 ta te Epara i mua atu i a ia, poto ake nei.
 Whakatakoto ana te iwi i te ngakau, a, haere
 ana te ope ki tona whare, titiro ana ia, ka-
 hore be putanga mona, tahuri iho ana ki a
 ia ano, a ka mate i le tau 1820.
   Ko Poea anake  te kingi i tenei wa, riro
 ana te motu katoa i a ia; a whakaaetia ana
 ia e te taha Paniora i te tau 1821. Ka ma-
 haki ano a Haiti i konei, ka marie noa iho.
   I te tau 1825, tuhituhia ana te pukapuka
 e te Wiwi e nga tangata o Haiti, a whakaae
 ana nga Haitiana kia utu ki te Wiwi 150
 miriona parangiki (whano eke ki te 7 miri-
 ona pauna moni). Whakaritea iho e rima
 tau hei utunga mo aua moni. Ko nga mea
 tuatahi 3O miriona i utua i te tau 1836; a, i
 te tau 1838 whakaaetia ana kia hoki iho te
 karangatanga mo nga moni, me whakatuturu
 ki te 60 miriona.

   But some of your Parables are, by contri-
 vance false, and not, in truth, similitudes at
 all, but, like the weights and measures of
 dishonest traders, are only made, and inten-
 ded, to deceive the, buyer. Take heed then,,
 O Maories, of whatsoever you may read, or
 hear, or see, lest you be. deceived by bad or
 pretended similitudes. "The light of the
 body is the eye, if therefore thine eye be
 single, thy whole body shall be full of light,
but if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall
 be  lull of darkness; if therefore the light
 that is in thee be darkness, how great is that
 darkness!"                



From afar I have observed and read your
 Parable  of the "Talk, of Hayti," and, as a
 friend, I caution you,  that by a cunning
  mixture of  the truth with falsehood, it has
 been   intended and  constructed to deceive
 you.  The  crafty writer knew fall well your
  aptitude and fondness for similitudes, and
  set his trap accordingly, to catch you by that
  foolish weakness. He has therefore searched
 around  about, and far, and some one no
  doubt has found it for hira, and be has pro-
  duced for you a tale, about an island, which
  had Maories in U, and they were discovered
  there, and visited by Pakehas. It next de-
  scribes that these Pakehas oppressed and
 . killed this Maori race, and look possession
  of their island.
    However  inapplicable for his purpose, the
  truth of this really is, the crafty writer knew <
  with, fullest certainty, thai just as every silly 
  waka, (Fern hen) immediately answers to
  the decoyer's voice, so every ignorant and
  thoughtless Maori would, as an echo, surely
  say: "That  island is like New Zealand, and
  its Maories are like us, and those Pakehas
  from Spain and France, are like these Eng-
  lish Pakehas here!"
   • He next informs you that these Pakehas
  from France  and Spain, so cruelly continued
   to oppress the unhappy  islanders,- (Hayti)
  that they  rose upon their oppressors, and
  made  themselves free.
   All this was truly done at Hayti, and most
  justly loo, but where are  the resembling
   circumstances here?  Yet  did that crafty
   writer know full well that it would serve to
   make each ignorant and foolish Maori say:
   "These English Pakehas only come to en-
kupu  whakarite e kikino ana. Ina, kikino
rawa, e penei ana me le koaka e matotoru
nei te kiri, e pai ana ano pea te kai o iroto,

rotia ana e koutou, ki nga kupu e rongo nei

tou ki nga kupu whakarite a he nei nga hua

he kupu whakarite. "Ko  te kanohi te rama
o te tinana; mo konei, ki le mea e marama

 tou tinana. Otira, ki le mea e kino ana tou
 kanohi, e pouri katoa ano hoki tou tinana.
Ki  te mea hoki he pouri te maramatanga i
 roto i a koe, he rahi ra to pouritanga!"
   No  tawhiti mai nei ka korerotia e au ta
 koutou kupu whakarite mo Haiti. He hoa
 au nu koutou e ki atu nei, i runga i te wha-
 katupato, he mea hanga tena korero, kotahi

 o taua korero ia koutou manaaki ki ienei ta
 korero, ki le kupu whakarite; a, whakata-
 kotoria ana e ia tona mahanga kia mau ai
 koutou.  No  konei, kimikimi haere ana ia;
 a auatu  ki tawhiti le kimihanga.  Na le
 tangata pea le kitenga o taua korero, me te

 korero, mo tetahi motu i kitea e le pakeha,
 me  ngu Maori i runga, e meatia ana, na le
 Pakeha  i patu aua Maori, muri  iho, ka

   Ahakoa, i mohiotia e rere ke ana le pono
 o taua korero hangaraumarie taua tangata
 tuhituhi, kihai i ngaro i a ia, ko te weka e
 whakao  mai ana ki le reo ina whakaritea ki

 slave and kill our Maori race," and by his
 foolish similitudes, where often there is none,
 he will be ensnared to think of us, bis Eng-
 lish friends, as like those cruel Pakehas of
 Spain and France, and most foolishly also of
 himself, though free, as like those miserable
 slaves of Hayti, who were  so cruelly op-
 pressed, and afterwards became free! And
 be is further instigated, as by some typo, by
this crafty parable to say, and also the very
 words  are  placed  there  ready for  bis
- thoughts, and ready for bis tongue to utter:
 "If  there be no blood in our veins, it will
 be wrested  from us"; and thus he is vilely
 taught to suspect, and then to bate and to
 defy, bis Pakeha  friends, the English, and
 to return their good with evil.

    As the conclusion to this crafty Parable,
 at its end is written, "In 1804 they pro-
 claimed  to the world their independence,
 throwing off the authority of the French and
 putting into force regulations prohibiting the
 sale of land, the establishment of police, and
 their great word which said, " Let Hayti be
: held by us, let it not go to the other side."
 The  writer has ended thus, as he began, to
 bring, once more before bis Maori reader's
  mind, that correspondence of similitude, the
 thread of which bad been so sorely broken
  in the middle. He trusted that each igno-
  rant and thoughtless Maori would exclaim :
  "This  parable is good, and truly represents
  our Maori selves. Have we not proclaimed
  to the world our independence? Have we
  not put in force regulations prohibiting the
 sale of land? Have we  not refused to re-
  ceive Pakeha magistrates and policemen over
  us?"
  • •• This is true of you, but it is mostly fabri-
  cated as to Hayti, for the Maories of Hayti,
  when  they were slaves, bad neither property
  nor land to sell; they could not even  call
  their lives their own; and when they were
 , free, and bad driven out the Spaniards and
 the French, how could they "put in force
 , regulations prohibiting the sale of land, to
  them, when  there were no Pakehas left to
  sell land to ?" Also, the men of Hayti, when
   they were  free, were not  so foolish as to
   "prohibit the establishment of police," but
 like us, and all wise nations, they restrained
   their evil doers by police, as all good Maories
  ought to do.




     And now  is the proper lime to shew you
   that all Pakehas are not alike, as you may
Maori."  Na  to te Maori kuare hoki ki te
hopu tangata i tenei mea i te kupu whaka-
rite, mau noa ia i le rore, a whakamanuka-
nuka noa ia ki ona boa Pakeha. E mea ia,
ko  te ahua ano tenei ko nga Pakeha kino-
 kino o Paniora o Parani; a, ahakoa e noho
 rangatira ana te Maori, mana ano ia e wha-
 karite ki nga tangata i whakaraua ra i Haiti
 i puta nei to ratou rangatiratanga i muri iho.
 Na, ka  oti te whakatakoto nga poa  he,
 whakakaha mona,  ka oti te whakatakoto i
 nga kupu hei korero mo tona mangai, koia
 tenei,—"Ki te kahore he toto i o tatou uaua
 tena e riro atu." Na.  ko te ako kino ienei
 hei whakatupato, hei whakapairua, hei wha-
 katoatoa  i te Maori, kia titiro he ai ia ki te
 Pakeha  Ingarihi, ki ona hoa, ki le utu i ia
 te Pakeha pai ki le kino.             
   I te mutunga o taua korero whakarite, kiia
 ana e taua tangata whakawai, " 1 le tau 1804
 panuitia ana  ki le ao to ratou rangatirata-
 nga, whakahapa  iho te ihana o le Wiwi,
 hanga ana  le ture kia kaua te whenua e ho-
 koa, le whakaturanga o nga Porihi, me te
 kupu  nui i puta i a ratou, "Ko Haiti kia
 mau  i a tatou; kaua e tukua ki tera taha."
 Rile ana  le mutunga  o le kai-tuhi o taua
 korero, me  te timatanga  kia tam  ai te
 korero ki te aroaro o te Maori; na te mea i
 kotikotia a waenganui o  te korero a he tu-
  ono tana kia tinana ai tana korero mea ai ia
  ka puta ano te ki o nga Maori kuare whaka-
i aro kore, "e pai ana tenei kupu, tona rite
  ko tatou ano, kihai ianei tatou i whakatakoto
 lure kia kaua e hokona te whenua? Kihai
 ianei tatou i karanga ki te ao katoa to tatou
  putanga i runga i le whai mana? Kihai ia-
 nei tatou i karanga ekore e paingia le kai-
  whakawa Pakeha, me le pirihimana i runga
. ake i a tatou?"
    E uka ana tenei, ara le wahi ki a koutou,
  otiia, ko nga korero mo Haiti he paraparau
  kau le nuinga.  Tenet le tika.  I te nohoa-
  nga noatanga o nga tangata o Haiti i a ratou
  e whakaponongatia ra, kahore kau a ratou
  whenua  e ahei ai le hoko atu, te pupuri ra-
  nei.  Kahore be taonga ke atu a ratou, ko o
  ratou tinana, ehara i a ratou ano, engari na
   le tangata. I to ratou matangitanga, i le
  peinga atu o le Paniora, i te Wiwi, me pe-
  hea e takoto ai i a ratou nga lure kia kaua e
  hokona le whenua kua kore noa hoki he Pa-
  keha o taua motu hei hoko whenua? Na ko
   nga tangata o Haiti i to tatou pikitanga ki

wisely judge for yourselves, if you choose,
by comparing what you see and know of us,
with what  you  are told in the "Talk  of
Hayti."
  Of  the Spaniards first it tells; that when
they found  the gold in Hayti, they held a
council, and  said, " Let us kill this people,
and take the island for our Queen Isabella."
And  they killed the black people, and the
whites took possession." Here  I may stop
by the way, and say, that Queen Isabella is
only mentioned  in this crafty tale, that igno-
rant and foolish Maories, according to their
 customary fondness for similitudes, should
see in Queen Isabella and her Pakeha Span-
iards, a comparison  for our noble Queen
 Victoria and us.  For  this base object, the
 crafty writer has entirely and designedly
 omitted that Queen Isabella had a husband
 named Ferdinand, who was king of Spain,
 but then, as you will now perceive, a king
 would not have squared so well with his in-
 entions, and his knowledge of that fondness
 for similitudes in thoughtless Maori minds,
 as a Pakeha Queen of Spain and her Pakeha
 Spaniards, to correspond so exactly with our
 own Pakeha Queen and us.


   But, behold at once the difference between
 the English and the Spaniards! When the
 idle and wicked  Spaniards bad found  the
 gold, (as they would not work themselve )
 they seized the miserable Maoris to search
 for it for them, and killed them with severe
 and unpaid labour.  The  English, on the
 contrary, have found the gold, and dig for it
 manfully themselves.  Both Spaniards and
 English are, indeed, Pakehas, and both dis-
 covered gold, but cannot the observant eye
 distinguish between the twilight bat and the
 morning  bird, although related to each other
 by  a pair of wings? the only resemblance
 which they have.

    In twenty years, the idle and cruel Span-
 iards, by slavery and deaths, had almost de-
 populated Hayti. The English Pakehas here
 have now  for more than twenty years Indus
 triously toiled and dwelt among you, and
 where  have they depopulated, or where have
  they destroyed the Maori race with force and
 unpaid labour?  Have they not always paid
 you  for your services whenever you chose U
  render them; and have they not always left
  you free to work or idle, as you pleased ?


    Of the French, it tells: "They captured
wahi, kihai i ririte te tu o nga Pakeha katoa;
E  oti ano i a komou te titiro i tenei, ki te
hahauria, ki te tirotirohia o matou tikanga,
 ki te whakariteritea ki nga 'korero mo Haiti.'
   E mea  ana taua korero, i te kitenga o te
koura i te tuatahi, "ka runanga ratou ka
mea,—"Tatou   ka patu i tenei iwi, me tango
te motu mo to tatou Ruini, mo Ihapera." A
ka "patua  nga kiri mangu, tangohia ake te
 motu e nga Pakeha." Hei konei au tu ai, ki
 atu ai ko le ingoa o Kuini Ihapera i whaka-
 huatia kautia i konei, hei whakariro ke i le
 whakaaro o nga Maori e kuare nei, e mana-
 konako nei ki le kupu whakarite.  I toia
 mai ai te ingoa o Kuini Ihapera ki roto ki
 ona Paniora he mea kia tau ai le whakarite ki
 to tatou matahiapo whakaaro  nui a Kuini
 Wikitoria, ki a tatou hoki. Na ko taua la-
 nga ta tuhituhi whakawai, i whakangaro ma-
 rie i te ingoa o tona tane o te kingi o Pani-
 ora, ko Peatinana. Na, ka mohio  koutou,
 ki le mea i karanga taua kai-tuhi tinihanga ki
 te kingi o Paniora, kihai i tau i kona taua
 tikanga whakarite ona ki a Kuini Wikitoria
 raua ko Ruini Ihapera.  I titiro ia ki le wai-
 rangi o nga Maori kuare ki ienei mea ki te
 kupu whakarite, no kona whakaritea marie-
 tia nga Pakeha o Paniora, me to ratou Kuini,
 ki a tatou me to tatou Kuini.
    Na, titiro ki le lu o te Paniora, ki te tu
 hoki o te Ingarihi. No le kitenga o nga Pa-
 niora mangere, kino hoki, i le koura o taua
 motu, kihai ratou i pai ki le mahi, erangi, i
 hopukia tonutia nga Maori o taua motu hei
 hahau  hei keri i le koura, a male iho aua
 Maori i le whakamahinga  utu kore; otiia
 na  le  Ingarihi  ano  i  kite  le  koura,
 nana  ano   i  keri,  He  tika be   Pa-
 keha  te  Paniora,  be  Pakeha  hoki  te
 Ingarihi; a, ko raua ngatatahi i kite ano i
 le koura.   Otiia, kahore ranei e kitea e te
 kanohi marama le pekapeka o te kakarauri-
 langa o le ahiahi, rae le manu o le haeata,
 ahakoa  na le parirau i whakatata raua ki
 nga ritenga o le huangatanga? Kaore atu
 hoki he mea, ko nga Parirau anake, i kiia
  ai, e rile ana to raua lu.
    I nga tau 20 na nga Paniora mangere,
 nanakia hoki, na to ratou whakamakai, wha-
  kamate i nga tangata o Haiti, mimiti ana le

' i le whakamahinga utu kore? Kaore ianei
  ratou i utu i a komou i te mea e mahi nei?
  A kihai le Pakeha i waiho ki a koutou ano te

THIS is my  opinion ia reference to the igno-
rance of the Maori. Listen now.   
   In former  times the inhabitants of this
 island were  constantly fighting with one
 another, and  eating one another.  There
 was no union of feeling among ihe tribes.
 No, the people looked upon one another as
 serpents,, each  one afraid  of the  other,
 throughout the island,


   After this the people from the ocean came,
 and they resided on the land; The Mission-
 aries went to work,  and  they turned the
 inhabitants, so that they became   docile.
 The  wildness exhibited by the men of this
 island disappeared, and they sat themselves
 down   quietly till the Europeans  devised
 many  plans for the preservation of the Natives
 of New Zealand.

    Then, O friends, the Natives of New Zealand
 became   reconciled to one another; they
- smiled together without fear and secondly, all
* the men of this island saw the people [i.e.
 Ministers of religion] who make this world
  glad. In  my opinion the Europeans have
  shown  greater love to the Natives of this
  island than they have to any treasure in th
  world, and their love to the Maori is exceeded
  only by the love of God.  By contact with
  the Europeans we obtained the knowledge
  of which  we are so proud, and which i
  bringing upon us so much  trouble. I do
  not say that the troubles come from the
  Europeans: no; they spring from the Maori
  side;
    Now, hearken.  If the Europeans had an
  evil heart towards us, why did they in the
  first place manifest their affection towards
  us?  Why   did they hot deal wickedly with
  us  at  first, when they discovered how
  degraded  we were—evilly disposed to one
  another?  Why  did they not kill the people
  of this island? But we  see that we have
  become  civilised, and now we are turning
  upon those who drew us forth from the mire,
  —from   the point of the spear, from the
  blade of the Hani and Wahaika, the man-
  killing weapons of former days.

    Such conduct is very bad. Let us look
  at the word of Scripture which asks, "Shall
  we do evil that good may come?"—Rom*3,8^

  This is all I have to say.
               From your Son,
                        TE AWA.


                  Kaikohe,
                    February 11,1863.
   Hearken  all people to this letter, which
was  written after a case which was settled
in Auckland by the Ngapuhis. The govern-
ment  engaged a vessel for the Ngapuhis to
return.  Ope party went by a  steamer to
 Whangarei, the other by a sailing vessel, the
 "Victoria."  The  steamer left at 6 o'clock
 p.m., and the " Victoria" left at 2 o'clock
a.m.  the day. began to dawn at Motuhu-
 rakia, this was the 12th of February. About
 sunrise we were about half way to Tiritiri-
 matangi. About 9 o'clock a.m. we were
 opposite Tawharanui.  The  breakfast we
 sat down to consisted of twenty-nine worm
 eaten potatoes, thirteen biscuits, a piece of
 beef about one pound weight, and a small
 bason of sugar.   Five breakfasted in the
 cabin, nineteen in the hold,  including all
 there were twenty-four. About  1  o'clock
 a.m. we were opposite Ngatuturu, when we
 bad dinner, which consisted of nine biscuits,
 sugar about 1lb., and the same weight of
 beef.  Thirteen did not take any dinner, only
 eleven sat down to eat as there was not
 sufficient to feed twenty-four. There was
 plenty of  cold water, we put long faces on
 it, and looked at each other and laughed.
 If the wind bad been against us we must
 have  perished, and  still more fortunately
 she was a  fast sailing vessel. When we
 were opposite Kaione the wind began to die
 away, and  the vessel began to roll about.
 This is the last meal we bad on board, which
 consisted of 31 potatoes, 12 biscuit, and a
 few crumbs  of biscuits, a pint of sugar, a
 piece of beef as before about 1lb, no lack of
 cold water.  About  sunset we were  off
 Tutukaka.  Owing  to the master being a
 stranger in Russell, he lay to till day dawn,
 when we saw Cape Brett about 10 o'clock,
 a.m. when we bad a fair wind, which look
 us to Russell, where we anchored, the boat
 was  lowered, seven of us were  landed.
 Ngapuhi then sent two whale boats for us
 and invited us to their bouses, where we
 were met by a large parly that had congre-
 gated at Russell to receive the Sacrament.
 They prepared a fine meal for us, of which
 we  ate very heartily; after which Hakuene
 (the Chief Whai) asked how we had sealed
 oar dispute, when Wi Pirihongi related how
mau  e tuhituhi atu kia perehitia. Ko nga
korero tera o to matou rerenga mai. Heoi
ano aku kupu.                        
                Na tou tamaiti,       
                     Na TE AWA.

                 Kaikohe,

it was settled. When he had concluded we
left Russell in their whale boats, and landed
ai "Mr. Kingston's, then started for Wi Piri-
hongi's place called the Puke, where we had
something  to eat, we left his place and slept
at Kawe Maheno.  This was Friday.  On

 at Kaikohe).

 Whatitiri, went to ask for a piece of land for
 himself. When  he  arrived at Kai  taringa,
 Tauru asked him, what he had come  for ?
 Te-wha said he had come for a Karaka grove
 for himself. Tauru then remembered  the
 huru (dogskin mat) of Te Ponaharakeke with
 which Tomoaure had been covered, when be
 made use of the words to his young men,
. Friends your land, I am going to giveaway
 your land  because I shall be destroyed in
 Mangakahia  by treachery (i. e, I want protec-
 tion) then the young men consented, and the
 Ngati moeroa and Tauru  showed- Tewha
 Horahora and said this is to be the boundary
- of your land. Te Mai, Te Ripo, Otamateanui
. Tepawera, Ohuripopo, Kokirinui,Titoki,Wai-
 tomotomo,  Hapairua. Tewha and  Tauru
 jumped  on land, but Tekirimangeo the sister
 of Tewha  went  by canoe to Te Rotokauae,
  Ngatoka Terakautahi, till they landed at Oue.
  Tauru  said to Teaha friend this is to be the
  boundary of your land. The reason why Tewha
  and Tauru went by land was a place of red
  ochre. Otaroa was the name, he smeared
  Tewha over with it. The much valued article
  of the Maori is this Kokowai, therefore I say
  the land belongs to me and to us all, as well
  as to the Grove of Karakas. Hearken O  ye
  judges! this is the inland boundary at Hora
  Hora, Ngakiripapauni, Te Apu,Tewharerama,
  Tehoutou, Pekapekarau, Rauhuia, turning at
 Maungatipa going down to the water at Oue,
  there crossing the main river of Maungakahia
  Ngaruahine, Tarakiekie, Hopetakahio Rangi-
  karokia, Nukutawhiti, where it ends. This
  land Mangakahia was given to Tewha, son of
  the  Waikeri and  to his sister Kirimangeo ;
 Whatitiri, was given to the Kahore, the son of
  the  Ponaharakeke. Waikeri  was the  elder
  brother of Te  Ponaharakeke, Hear then O
   Council, to our ancestors who lived on the
  land at Mangakahia,  Wairua, Whatitiri, Wha-
   ngarei Tangihua there they are buried on these
  lands. These are the sacred places, Te Angiangi
   Te Rotokauae,Pukeatua,Te Ngawha, Te Wae-
  haupapa, Tohanui, Pukanakana,  Ruarangi
   Pararhirahi, Haukapua,Oroarae,Te Motumotu
   Rangikapohia, Haruru, Uruwhao, Hikurangi
   this is the sacred place where the remains oi
   Kukupa  were  laid with  those of former
  generations. Our  Ancestors never saw  th<
   Ancestors of Te Hira, or of Matiu Te Aranui
   placed ia those sacred places; even down  to
   ourselves we, have never seen, known,  or
   heard of such a thing.  Therefore we  hold
   fast to the land, no man can move  us off
   what, though the winds blow and  all there
   fury is expended on it. This house shall no
   be. destroyed, for ever and ever, Amen.
  Netana Taramauroa:  The  point that
  shall remark upon, is the mention of my name
    
in the papers submitted by the Ngapuhi in
reference to the lineal descent, for they have
named my  father Ripa among their ancestors.
I have understanding in this matter, for I am
aged, when my father died I heard his words,
I did nut known the sayings of the Ngapuhi,
the words they  have  just spoken. Who
would  suppose that the Ngapuhi  would
undertake to trace my genealogy ? I ara ac-
quainted with the history of my own ancestors.
It is not right that I should be dragged (by
them) into evil, that is to say be mixed up
with untruthful words.  I say that this kind
of counting up of ancestors is wrong. I did
not hear of it formerly. If I had heard that,
I should be living with Taupuhi at the present
time (I should not.be so much surprised); I
 say that these genealogical summaries  are
 most untruthful. The  tracing of my father
 upon his own lands in reference to the line of
 ancestors, which lands  were,  Kiriopa, Te
 Whakatipi, Kaikohe, Te Tuhuna.  Let the
 genealogy be set upin reference to these lands,
 for my father was the only man who thorough-
 ly understood the enumeration of these ances-
 tors, my father Ripa. In his days, and during
 the time of his keeping an account of the
 ancestors no  evil befell men   (the parties
 concerned in this matter) even up to his death.
 When  his descendants grew up they sought
 to obtain knowledge in their own way; evil,
 therefore, has befallen men. I am the only
 Ngapuhi man residing among this people (i e.
 the people of Te Tirarau) at the time I came
 (to Kaipara) it was not by friendship, but I
 came to the Europeans, and so I then Saw
 these lands on the Wairoa. On  my  arrival
 there, I saw Te Tirarau only, in possession of
 his lands. There was no  evil then among
 them, fur there were no men at that time to
 disturb them.  After I left (the North) they
  (the Ngapuhi) sought to create evil, that is to
  say, a plan was formed to take possession of
  the lands of these persons (i. e. Tirarau and
  party) of Te Tirarau and Hori Kingi. Ac-
, cording to the best of my knowledge, they
 are living by right upon their own lands, and
  they both are speaking truth as are also all their
 party, or tribe. But the Ngapuhi are false
 enough to attempt to take their, Tirarau's, land.
: This is wrong, 1 do not understand it. Let
 me end here.
   Hori Kingi Tahua: This is the cause of ray
 getting possession of Mangakahia, namely my
 dog skin mat. The  cause of my obtaining
 Whatitiri was this, the rescue of the Ngaita-
 huhu by Te Kahore.  These are the grounds
 upon  which 1 retain possession of this land.
  This is all I have to say; my paper which is
I now handed in will supplement what I have
e  said.
