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. This
