THE NEW ZEALAND WAIL (Taos • I came up to Auckland last February, paying a l visit to the seat oust proviace of Napier on my way, when I stayed four or five days, and rode over more thee • hun dred miles of the country. It consists of broad valleys formed into sheep farms, which were looking miserably dry when I was there, owing to the four months' drought. Napier is far in adrenal, of this part of the country in the way of triads into the interior, but It is because so much of the interior is taken up in very extensive sheep-runs, and thus the population do not so much live in settlements as here, but are spread over the country generally. They moat thereinto keep their roads io good order, and do so certainly. I saw some pious quite worthy, in both engineering and metalling, to form part of an English coach road. The pecu liarity of Napier is that all the land which has been ob. Weed from the natives is is the hands of a few whom pro perty is of thousands of acme in extent. There are no small proprietors of 40 and 60 acres,who form the strength of the province of Auckland. I dare say there are ten thousand landowners in Auckland, whereas in Napier there are probably not more thao two hundred that is of parties who own country land. It is easy far you ba calculate the difference in prospect'. of places thus cir ommetarieed, for all our population are more or less into reseed is the prosperity of the place. A great gloom is banging over us just now. About four weeks ago the Auckland war began, and now the novelty of ow position is wearing off, end we are calculating what the bete of it will be, while every clue asks when will be the end of it. Sines the news Mine that the Waikato' were mastering in great force, and gathering all their allies togs. they for a struggle with us, there has been nothing thought or spoken of scarcely but our prospects. The first intima tion we had of the seat of war being shifted from Taranaki to Auckland was the arrival of the Harrier and other vessels from Taranaki with troop", when every one supposed that all the men who could be made available for fighting were wanted by Genend Camerae at New Plymouth. But the general then came up himself, sod people began to epee their eyes, and predict that some work was in store for Auckland. A few days after, a proclamation was issued calling out the first-class militia for active ser vice, and asking for 400 militia volunteers to go to the front, and at the same time the volunteers were ordered to master for garrison and guard duty. Ever since then the town has been almost entirely defended by the volunteers and militia. The general took the whole of the regular troops out to the trait ; that is just now the camp at the Queen's Redoubt, at Politico, a mile and a half from the well-known river Waikato. The second class of militia (men under forty who are married) have been also called out, and take the whole of the guard duty in Auckland and the suburbs, thus leaving the first-elan men (single men up to forty) free to be sent out towards the Waikato. The conotrybetween us and the river is being occupied, as feat as the general can get men, by militia and volunteers, who go out to the various stockades and redoubts for • fortnight at a time, and then return for others to take their place. Yon may imagine how this interferes with business in Auckland. limy shopkeepers have to claw their shops during their ab ..enee, and of course are subject to great Ices; but while all are losing something, you bear very little complaint. I understand many people who a couple of months ago were well to do will have great difficulty in keeping their beads , above water, and those I mean are merchants. They are away half their time in garrison or patrol duty, and likewise their men. No customers come to their stores, and yet their rent goes on just the same, and their expenses for la bour doubled. Bat if it does not last long (and many well informed people think it will not), there will not be much permanent injury done to business, seeing that it will un doubtedly be resumed with much greater activity directly the war is decided outs way or the other. There was a great sensation, as you may suppose, when the new. of the first murder at Papakusa reached Auckland. The general had taken oat his first batch of men to Pokeno, and they bail (almost by accident) burnt down some old native huts near the camp. It was said to have been done by two or three private soldiers oat of mischief ; at any rate, the offloer commanding denied any knowledge of it, and expressed his regret at its having been dose ; and be was no doubt Gilmore, becomes the general certainly intended to wait for the first blow to come from the Maories. They retaliated in a day or two. Old Mr. Meredith and his ' grandson were miming one evening at the usual time for their return from their work, and on search being made all over the farm, they were next morning found lyleg mur dered where they had been at work the previous day.

No such guard had up to yesterday afternoon bees placed on board the ram El Tolima. The error of the Timm has possibly arisen from the fact that the gunboat (Mohawk has eons almigaide the ram in question, and the moorings of both vessels are so managed that the ram cannot from alongside the gunboat without the moorings of the beim; removed ; stud also that in getting on shore the seamen of the Goshawk often pass over the deck and r sides of the rasa. The Liverpool, which for some days lay I off the north end of the entrance to the Great Float, with s beaked furnaces, shifted her moorings on Monday, and went up to the Simms, where she sow rides at anchor.
