THE MAORI MESSENGER. Auckland, October 6, 1853.
Our native readers are, in all probability, aware that the Governor, Sir George Grey, having obtained leave of absence from her Majesty the Queen, is now on the eve of his departure from New Zealand, on a visit to Great Britain. His Excellency has already taken his farewell of the inhabitants of'lho South; and that amidst the most lively expressions of respectful regret on their part. All classes seem to have vied with each other in manifesting their cordial appreciation of the many great and shining qualities of his Excellency,—qualities alike conspicuous in the Governor and the Man. In equal and heartfelt appreciation of the character or Sir George Grey, the Native Race have again and again furnished inconlesiible evidence they especially participate. And it would be surprising indeed if they did not; since to elevate the Native Race in the the scale or moral, social, and religious intelligence, has always been the earnest and unremitting aim of Governor Grey. And in all those praiseworthy and benevolent endeavours, his Excellency has been as singularly as happily successful. When Sir George Grey arrived, he round New Zealand in a state or ruthless and ruinous warfare. He is about to quit it, not i merely in a condition or profound peace, but in one of immediate and hourly increasing prosperity; and with every pros- | pect of a rapid and unexampled progress in
all that is dear and desirable to llie most ambitious and enterprising nations. These arc the fuels to which the colonists of the South have so generally and gratefully testified. And we feel it not only a duly, but a privilege to give publicity to their sentiments in this Journal, which owes ils origin to llie anxiety or Sir George Grey, lo promote, in every way, the instruction and information of the native people.
