bIv. He will, doubtless. be able to explain salts
factorily that the borrowing powers OF the colony
for the purpose of constructing reproductive WORKS
are no delusiop. So far as Auckland is concerned,
we positively. cannot do without a loan OF some
sort. 1t is imperative that we open up the coun-
try. and whether we do 1t by railways or Ordinary
roads. we still require the money, for we have yet
no land fund to fall back upon. The development
of our natural resources would necessarily increase
our wealth. as we'll as our imports and our exports.
As it is. Auckland per Sc imports very largely the
manufactures of the mother country, and we are
entitled on this account to some consideration
from English capitalists, whose children we profess
to be. We sincerely trust that Mr.. Vogel Will sue
coed in the objects he has in view. Doubtless ne
conveys with him a very heavy portfolio.
We learn bv a letter received from Ohinemurl
Yesterday, that the opinions of the natives IN that
district. are that war in the Waikato is inevitable.
So far as Ohinemuri is concerned 1t Will ID all

Her Maiesty's ships Clio, Galatea and Virago,
are now in port. and there has been a good deal OF
gaiety in consequence. His Royal Hlghness lac
Captain of the GdlGted has met with much hospl-
tality. and has rendered himself very popular by
his appearance, more than once, IN the orchestra
of our Choral Society's COncert-room. At this
time of year there is no sport to be had In New
Zealand, but pigeon shooting, riding, and driving,
have occupied the Princes leisure.
We are looking forward with anticipations of
pleasure to the Inauguration of the new line OF
mail steamers. Victoria and New South Wales
are excessively angry at the arrangement; casting
as / uOeS UPON UOlu VI OAOhiCS ohN SSPSNI-
ally upon the latter, the stigma of lack of enter
prise. Victoria has got her Cape of Good Hope
route, and it is not difficult therefore to account
for her reluctance to spend more money upon what
would perhaps be. after all, a doubtful advantage.
But New South Wales has no such excuse, and her
self-accusing shame is eyinced in the tone OF her
Press upon the subject, which endeavors, IN a
vicious manner, to asperse the intentions and mo-
tives of New Zealand in the step she has taken.
New Zealand has the consolation OF knowing that
she is perfectly independent of the rest OF the Aus
tralian colonies. and can afford to laugh at their
m~is-statements. and ill-bred jibes.
