THE MAORI MESSENGER. Auckland, October 11, 1849.
In the "Maori Messenger" of the Ist of February last, we intimated the departure of her Majesty's steam ship Acheron, Captain Stokes, on a voyage to survey the [southern shores of this, and of the northern coasts of the Middle Island of New Zealand, From that survey, we are happy to say, the Acheron returned in.safety, on the llth instant; —Captain Stokes having, we are told, made discovery of more than one fine harbour, and determined many geographical facts, of the utmost importance for the information and security of mariners navigating these hitherto imperfectly known and tempestuous waters. . B y the Acheron we have intelligence from Port Nicholson to the 6th instant. Tbo cultivation and dressing of flax for tlie purpose of exportation was engrossing a very great degree of public attention — various plans of cleansing it had been tried —and every incentive is being held out to induce the natives to pursue a branch of industry as conducive to their own enrichment as to the prosperity of the province at large. In the "Ko te Ao Marama, or New World," a journal published, once a fortnight, at Wellington, we are liappy to welcome a new friend to the native race. Tl>i« journal is printed in the Native and English languages, and is, like our own, devoted to the instruction of the Native mind. The first number appeared on the 20th of last month, and from the earnestness of its tone anil the judicious tendency of its matter we wou.'d fain hope it may experienco the support and encouragement it so reasonably solicits. We cordially welcome our new ally, trusting that we may not only be of assistance to each other, but prove the happy instruments of good—moral and material—to [the people whose welfare we equally seek to compass. In our next, we shall present a few extracts from the pages of our contemporary.
