NEW ZEALAND.

The New Zealand journals give the following acc9tlu
of the progress of a road, formed under Captain Hanif!tt
Russell, of the 58th Regiment, from a report requiry:
by the Government, which speaks most favourably Vi
regard to the New Zealand labour employed upon it:---
" They rapidly improve as workmen, and it is extrtAti
ordinary that men whose previous lives have been paw,
in uncontrolled idleness, should now work for monu,
'I
together so incessantly as to rest but one hour out of VI m
and under such restriction as not to be allowed to sreeitillt
or even to talk, to the interruption of their work ; 7;
this result has been obtained by means so slight as ;,
appear quite insufficient. An idle workman is o°4
sionally tined sixpence, or if so talkative as to interrsdr
work, he is placed alone without listeners ; if he lutn;
given satisfaction, he perhaps receives his week's wet
in crowns, or it otherwise, in sixpences. If a troub `:
some character, he is discharged; and though the sup „
intendents of parties have been detached many an Ph—,
from any Europeans besides their overseers, in 4"4"
wildest and most inaccessible places, there has 710"-e,
been an instance of violence towards them or the (311e'li
seers. The greatest crime has been that of stealin4
axe by a discharged native, when another of the tr
after working all day, travelled all night to recover in!
and returned with it in time for work the next mot-fit,
Tho means by which this control is maintained are. t'iB
exercise of strict justice in keeping our engageto
with them, and firmness in insisting on their doing *9.
same by us. I have been fortunate in having the' h°
sistance of gentlemen as superintendents of parties.
have carried out my views most fully, and without 14 j 0 r
the effect which has been produced upon the chase, '„y
of the labourers could net have been obtained. T "be),
assure me that the bearing of those natives where t, t.t
have known them up the coast, was so different to tlikB
which they now exhibit with the parties, as to OA
them appear a different race. In disposition they ftPr!.`,.
cheerful not quarrelsome amongst themselves, nor vU

dictive. So singularly free from the vice of drunk° ,0
ness as to enable me to repeat the assurance that I g3'
ay
your Excellency some months, since, that not a case II
ever yet come under the observation of myself ort
superintendents of parties. Those who profess Christ if
anity, as is the case with the majority, are strict in the
religious observances, nothing being allowed to tut!' 0
fere with the morning and evening worship; those. iv, :a
do not, however, are not unfavourably distiaguteb.:je
from those who do. They do not now object to J.'
}o
mixture of the tribes in working parties, though at fit
they were much opposed to it."
