NEW ZEALAND.

We have journals from Wellington to the 15th of
August. They fully corroborate the accounts of the opera-
tions against Rangihaeata to the name date, previously re-
ceived via Auckland, but add nothing to them. They con-
tain a brief notice of an inter( sting expedition of discovery in
the middle island, and some statistical details.
Mr. Charles Ileaphy, with a party, were engaged on an
excursion to the southward, along the west coast of the
middle island. The latest accounts from them were dated
the second week of May, at Totara, a point 10 miles to the I
south of Cape Foul•weather. They had reached Knwatiri,
at the mouth of the Buller river (their original destination),
on the first of the month, and were on their way to Amur*,
a native settlement, 50 miles further to the southward,
where the land was reported to be excellent. The mouth of
the Buller river is seven miles north of the" Three Steeples."
There is sheltered anchorage under Cape Foul.weather in
smooth water. The river is large at the mouth; the land
level, of first-rate quality, hut heavily timbered. At Kara-
men, due west of Nelson, lx hind the snowy mountain Motueka,
there is a fine large river, with a fine district of woodland :
northward of that again is a fine valley, the Wakapoi, corn
munieating with the Hauriri of Massacre Bay. The party
expected to reach Araura in a week. It was their intention
to remain 10 days there, then cross the island to Port
Cooper, which was said to be a journey of a week, and
reach Nelson in July. The rivers between Araura and Port
Cooper were sail to be impwsabie in the winter time. The
coast road had proved steep, rocky, and intersected with
jungle. The following table has been published in the go-
vernment Gazette. The New Zealand :•;perfator points out
several inaccuracies. At Port Nicholson the deaths in 1845,
it says, were 21, the marricres 13—inverting the arrange-
ment of the table. The deaths et Banks's peninsula have
also the appearance of exaggeration. We give, however,
the official account as the official gave it:
Return of the population and of the marriages, births, and
deaths in 1846.
