Notice to Correspondents. Contributors and Correspondents are requested to transmit their communications, addressed to the Editor, at the Office of the Native Secretary. All natives who may wish to have a notice of the birth of their children, or the marriage or death of any of their relations printed in the Maori Messenger, are requested to leave the particulars at the Office of the Native Secretary.

It has been deemed advisable, not to restrict the translators to a literal interpret' tion of the English text ; but to permit a free construction of the several papers, in a manner suited to the peculiarities of the native idiomism. The sense and substance of every article will, however, be carefully preserved, and the articles be presented to the Maori, in a guise to which the Editor neither pretends nor aspires. By this arrangement, it is hoped that solid instruction to the native, may be blent with agreeable information to the English reader.
