THE MAORI MESSENGER. Auckland, June 16, 1833.

Frequently and earnestly as we have written to incite our native brethren to proceed in tho good and prosperous work of rendering New Zealand the unquestioned granary of tlic Sontli l\iri!ic, —wo should, wc consider, be sldl de(ii:ienl in our duly did wo forbear, ,- —al tliis season of seed iime, and in (lie unparalleled position not onlyofilionoiijliiioiiring colonies, but of tin: world at largo,— lo urge llie attention of every fanner, who has a plough lo drive, or a hand to diy, (o (In; great and increasing demand thai is certain lo be made for every article of human food. ■This year we have beheld line and stalely ships flocking, week after week, into lliepor 1 of Auckland, iiupicsl ofilie produce of NewZealand. Thai inpniiriug of shipping yel continues. Ilnl comparatively largons it has this year proved, it will be altogether insigltilicanl compared with llie influx of next season,—thai is, provided our agricultural industry only keeps pace willi the extensive demands thai will inevitably bo made upon il.

■Within the lusl year, the. population of Porl l'hillip has been considerably more lli:m (loul)lc(l; and ilint of Sydney and oilier portions ofAustralin have been little less. Kill", grants arc flocking thitherwards, not in (ill the land, Inil to dig for gold. And even wore they disposed to till, the climate ol' of Australia is .so liery and uncertain thai the harvest is ever a matter ol'inucli doubt and anxiety. Ilesides, the land hc.-J .sailed for agicnllural purposes is situated generally in the far interior, where there are neither the inland seas nor the navigable rivers, ;;o numerous in .\e\v Zealand, and which so greatly facilitate the conveycm--.- ol'produce "to market. These then, are powerful encouragements to the industry of -New Zealand ; and (he certainly that attends the labbtirs of both the sowerand (he reaper should incite all clascs to nuiKe the very iiiinost of fortune that is olVered to us. We yet, hut in the infancy of our productive existence. This year, we have exported sufficient to show Australia of what .\'e\y Zealand is capable; and we rctpitre but perservance to ensure for this line country a position far more slable and much more commanding than ever fell lo llio lot of the, richest land of gold. | The. whole world is wild wild the excilenicnl occasioned by the marvellous and con- i luracd discoveries of Australian gold. From time to lime, we have apprised you of |
