TURANGA.
The natives of this fertile district, we rejoice to find are industrious tillers of the soil. Men, women, and children may be seen in scores engaged in their plantations. The chief produce of this place is wheat, and it is said 70,000 bushels of that valuable grain will be raised this season by the natives of Turanga. These people are also excellent sailors, and possess some good schooners varying from 20 to 60 tons burthen. Tnej r have,! however, been most unfortunate with their coasters: during the present year. The following vessels belonging to this energetic tribe have been; wrecked, some of them with full cargoes on their way to Auckland :—the 'Benlomond' 40 tons ; the 'Children,' 30 tons; the 'Waiapu,' 21 tons; the 'Mendleshatn,' 25 tons; the 'Purehe/ 20 tons;' and the 'Sarah Jane,' 18 tons. I With all this loss of property, we are happy toj find there was no loss of life. •
