WAR-OFFICE, OCT. 27.
The Secretary of State for War has received a Despatch
from Lieutenant-General Cameron, C.B. Commanding
the Troops in New Zealand, of which the' following is a
copy
Head-quarters, Queen's Redoubt, August 4.
My Lord,—With reference to the reports I have for.
warded to your lordship, relative to the operations in which
the troops in this province have been engaged during the
past month, I beg to state that their success has been owing
in great measure to the valuable assistance rendered by
Captain Sullivan, Senior Naval Officer at this station, and
by the officers and men under his command.

A large 'party of seamen and marines of her Majesty's
ship Harrier have been encamped ou the bank of the M an-
gatwhiri river since the 11th ultimo, and their services
have been of the greatest advantage to the force under
my command, all the boats employed in conveying troops
and supplies across to the Koheroa having been entirely
manned by them,
At my revest Captain Sullivan has superintended the
construction of six large flat bottomed boats, especially
adapted for the transport of troops up the Waikato. Two
of these have been brought overland from Auckland, a dis-
tance of 35 miles, to the Mangatawhiri, where they have
been extremely useful.
Without the aid of such boats operations up the Wai-
kato could not be carried on, as there is no road on either
bank of the river.

Fur these services I am much indebted to Captain Sulli-
van, as well as fur his cordial co-operation on all other
occasions since the commencement of hostilities.

I have also to acquaint your Lordship that the small
colonial steamer Avon was brought into the Waikato from
the Manukau by Commander Mayne, of her Majesty's ship
Eclipse, and is now at anchor off the Bluff Stockade, at
Havelock. In reporting to Captain Sullivan the perform-
ance of this important and hazarcous duty, Commander
Mayne speaks highly of the assistance ho received from
Captain Greaves, Acting Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-
General, by whom the lower part of the river was surveyed
last summer.

In justice to Captain Greaves, who is a most zealous and
talented officer, I beg to forward Captain Sullivan's letter
regarding his services on this occasion.
The Avon is the first steamer that has ever been brought
into the Waikato, as it was supposed, previous to the stir_
vey made by Captain Greaves, that the numerous shoals in.
the lower part of its course rendered the passage of a steamer
impossible.
The Avon con carry 200 men ; her bulwarks have been
made bullet-proof, and she is armed with a 12-pounder
Armstrong gun.
1 have not doubt she will be of great service in our ope•
rations up the Waikato.—l have, etc.,
D. A. CAMERON, Lieutenant-General.
The Right. Hon. the Secretary of State for War.
Banks of Mangatawhiri, July 27.

Sir,—I have the honour to inform you that the Colonial
steam vessel Avon has this day arrived at Havelock, and is
now ready for any service in which she can assist you.
Commander Mayne, to whom I had confided the task of
bringing the Avon from the Manukau into the Waikato, a
river hitherto considered navigable only for canoes, in his
report to me, thus speaks of the valuable assistance rendered
by Capt. Greaves, Deputy- Assistant Quartermaster-Geno -
ral Capt. Greaves, Deputy-Assistantt is
Quoawrtieirgnititsotehrig
General, accompanied the vessel, and i
knowledge of the river and unflagging energy that the ser-
vice was accomplished so successfully; he preceded the
vessel the whole way, sounding and showing the channel ;"
and it is with pleasure I seize this opportunity of tendering
him' through you, my hearty thanks for his valuable aid.
—I have, &c.,

J. W. SULLIVAN, Commander,
and Senior Naval Officer in New Zealand.
