Our Native friends have handled a great quantity of money lately, it being usual to realize from £2OO to £SOO per trip for the produce brought to market in their coasters. The greater portion of this money passes speedily into the drawers of the merchants and shop-keepers, in exchange for goods, and thus a brisk trade is kept up, each party benefiting the other. "We are glad to find that the trade for the most part is carried on with mutual good feeling; and we can see no reason why this excellent mode of traffic, and these friendly relations should not continue.

We more particularly refer to drunkenness which is so rife here. Now in order to avoid this contagion, let no unnecessary delays be made in town by the natives; but ass oon as their produce is disposed of, let them disperse to their respective kainga. They are in the haMt of holding religious services when at the native Settlements, both morning and evening,, let the same excellent rule be carried into practice during their temporary sojourn in town, which' will of necessity engender a disinclination to doj evi l .
