New Zealand is about as large as Great Britain,
and under proper cultivation is capable of supporting
its thirty million of inhabitants. At present it
contains no awe than 120,000, or one to the square
mile. In fertility of soil, salubrity of air, magnifi-
cence et scenery, it is hardly to be equalled. Its
mineral wealth is abundant. It hes wood of several
varieties and of great value, adapted he every useful
and ornareattal purpose. Its 'lode sad heehaw.'
belong to the era order ; sad the atighboating rte
abound with fish. Noxious animals an unknown ;
bat the air is full of beautiful birds of the Suit testa
and richest nourishment. Through albums skims-
dances sad blondes ot government this wile sphere
for edenbation has been hitherto ahead entirely
tither neglected or wasted. But it must and will
overcome these obstacles. Secured by its charter
from ever being made a convict settlement, New
Zealand may net unreasonably aspire to become, in
time, the New England of the oriental sou.
