KAWHIA.
We are informed that the natives of this district are advancing in civilization, and acquiring a taste for British usages. The plantations of wheat and other grain are said to be considerable, whilst the mania for flour mills has extended! throughout this portion of the Province, and the! laudable undertaking of erecting them, is! going on with spirit. One thing we observe of a! very praiseworthy character in reference to thej native inhabitants of this fine settlement, namely,' their liberal contributions to the good Mission! cause. "We congratulate our old and esteemed friend the Rev. J. Whitely upon the success which has attended his labors here and elsewhere. We have no doubt but that the natives justly appreciate the indefatigable zeal of their devoted Missionary ; and although there are many hindrances at present, in regard to the work in which Mr. Whiteley is engaged, the cheering promise is "In due season we shall reap if we faint not."
