The naval reserve on the north-outern coast continues to
moot satiolairtorily, the total strength of the forme
regraTlyth to Hartlepool Wag now 1,000 men, all of whom
are advanced very comoderably in their drill. A few days
ago a couple of Boating targets were moored off the battery
at Roker, and so excellent was the practice made by •
number of the reserve men with shotted gun. that both
targets were destroyed. The men of the reserve who are at
present being drilled on board the Castor frigate in the
river Tyne were exercised on Thureday with the life-rockets
at Priors Haven, near Tynemouth.

Neill's) groom's horse. After a lengthy investigation, the
bench Gaul they were of opinions that on the day LO question
Mr. Neill was decidedly exempt from toll, and the Wil-

LETTER PEON A NEW ZEALAND SETTLER IN
THE DISTURBED DISTRICT.

Teraaski, New Zealand, June 23.
When the Maori war now raging in this province
broke out I had barely time to give you • horded intima-
tion of d, which I did in • letter early in March last. I cow
=to give you some further particulars. On the 7th
myself and faauly arrived in town. We were obliged
to make a hasty retreat, having barely time to collect • few
articles of food and clothing for the campaign These, and
our beet cow, which we drove in, were all we could manage ;
the rest of the "tray'' we hid in the bush, and some things,
such a. wedges, we buried. We loft all the crops, including
marigolds, swedes, and culinary vegetables, and half an acre
(four tons) of potatoes in the ground ; • splendid crop on
new bush-land carefully planted, and free from weeds. On
9th March I reported myself at the orderly office, and on the
morning of the following day appeared on_ parade, and was
front theme marched to the garrison on Mandand-hill, M a
company of Mee men, • sergeant, and corporal, to keep
gaud, there being at the tiers lees than twenty soldiers in
the place. We were relieved on Sunday at noon. Thus
beast been ever seams Nies a.m. finds me on parade! and
midnight and the small hours • lone sentry on some dreary
plain, or in some gloomy valley, or on the shifting eandhrlla
overlooking the meat Our pay is Is. per day in money,
and rations valued at 70. La addition to the night duty
the meu are drafted in parties to cut down and burn the
fern (ptcris edulis), thereby destroying the enemy's cover,
or to work at the stoekadea now in the course of erection on
the borders of the town. Lest week I went in an escort of
fifty men to the bush to protect • working party whilst cot.
tins 'applejacks for military purposes. In msel. of our
departure from the bush I forgot to sotto that we left all
the live stock, two cows (one with a calf at her side), and •
fine young steer, two pan old next grams ; pip, turkeys,
geese (Canadian and English), Cochin China fowls, rad bees,
to go into the bosh or to be sled by the Maoris, as the ass
may be. All the oeteettlers are now living in tie town,
upon rations distributed weekly by the provincial govern-
ment ,• the harvest could not be got in, mod of
' the wheat bee been left on the ground to rot, the potatoes
were am ready to take up, and now it is not safe to_ go after
them. The cattle and sheep are left to run wOC ce be
destroyed, and fur the time being the province is overwhelmed
by destruction.
The natives, in • state of excitement and desperation, are
lurking about the environs of the town, so that it is weeds
to go beyond the lines. Nevertheless, being anxious to see
our farm about • fortnight ago, in company with two neigh-
bouts I set out, and went to within • mile of the place,
when we were alarmed by the discharge of fire-arms at no
great diatanoe, and we were afraid to proceed. On this ex-
pedition our dogs run down a fine boar, making • most hor-
rible node over the affair, whilst silence was to us just
then particularly deanship the hear was no use to as, being
too heavy to carry, so we left him where he was. When
the war broke out, like =my others we were just beginning
to get a little settled, and to feel encouraged by the visible
signs of prosperity springing up around us. A few days
after the battle of Waireka, I west at three *dock in the
morning, in a fatigue petty of 200 min„ to dig potatoes, and
thresh and bring in cora from the disturbed district ; we
were all armed and took • 94pounder with us and 00
bullock carts. Some of the porbaos we took on to town,
the rest was left at the Omani stockade, and as an example
of the disorder which sagas at psaseat most of the latter
has since been destroyed by ottlq which is the absence of
the owners wander all over the ementry, destroying the
fences, and doing all soda of drasope. On this occasion I
was an eve-witness of the devastation and horrors of the
battle-field. Hones, bullocks, pigs, which had been de-
stroyed by the hostile Maoris, were lying along the Ornate
road in a putrefying state, the feathers of poultry, rocket
tubes, !Lauri mean and mats, articles of European dress,
handmaid furniture, with ploughs and other implements,
were strewn about, fences broken, houses destroyed, and
the whole scene painfully suggestive of carnage and
desolation. This war threatens to he • most dilatory gni
ruinous affair, but the Taranaki press is gagged, and fer
farther particulars respecting our war policy you must r
elsewhere. The Nabors trendier and Bedieey Beeper
are amongst nor best champions. The land and
king movement an daily acquiring cohesion and
and mime • decisive blow be 'truck, the authority of the
British crown will be overthrown, and New Zealand etteely
ruined. Remember, the Maoris have never yet been sub.

eteDee took Pine :—Three sticks were stook into the everted

hearing of the seems and rapid progress of the
new French settlement is New Caledonia. and of the dashing
way in which the amps then were brought into retiree.
tion. Tie settlement is being continually strengthened by
ships, men, guns, and monitions. What is the British go-
vernment about in the face of all this! Do they intend to
give up New Zealand ? Do they intend to give us up to •
Maori king ! Or will they drive as in despair to seek refuge
under the protection of the French Egg, for which many in-
decimate an offered! My own impression is that Wise*
long the many beautiful islands in these sou will bepeegled
by the teeming pipeline:a of Europe, and that the promo
has even now begun. Ragland abOuld see to this, or other
aations will displace her to her ultimate end immediate loft.
New Zealand is defincelses, and might be pounced upon by
the Freach or other maim at any nsument.

Ws are in a most deplorable state ; this wee hr Brody
coat. during the past three niceties, in this settlement alone,
100,001 W., with nothing to show for it, and, so far as nay be
seen, without any prospect of actloe. The colonials are be-
ginning to le disheartened arid disgusted, sad the mason far
putting in erne for next year's anterumption is peeing ewer
without the pusandity of doing so, so that nothing but MIS
stares us in the face ; is the as... while the policy of the
governor is inscrutable, giving rise to greet useesimese and
distrust—not eo much of the governor as of the great power
for miachief of the bishop and his party. We are expecting
troara from England ; then if a vigorous action be taken,
and the native. sul.dued, we shell be well content, (manner
provisos than this the sun sever shoed upon.
