We copy the following extract from a letter, dated London, 10th May, 1850 :— " The rates exacttd at Auckland from the shippers of wool, by their own res. ■el (iVilliam Hyde), will long he quoted litre by our merchants as indications of a determination on your •ide to throw all the interc mree into the Sydney channel, an the beit course of promoting the prosperity of your settlement!, The Barbara Gordon, we beliere, goes to your ports to seek a New Zealand cargo, and we should hope would" take wool at — per pound weight, and not by measurement, as in the instance of the f^UUam Hyde, to the atrocious extent of £9 ■terltn" per bale, and that bale not exceeding two cwt. Such instances of impoiition must ietard your progreti, und add to your many other local drawbacki."

To the Editor of the New ZeaJander. c IR The follovriDg m«y be of tume service to matteri of vessels;— Pitcaim's Islrnd ii about 1* rcile in length «nd 4§ in circumforenre. Its true jionition (givt n incorrectly in lome of Ihe cltarti) is Int. 25° 4' south, long 13 ° 8' weit. It rises abruptly out of the watrr ; the highett point called ihe look-out ridge by the Bounty men, is 1008 feet above the level of the sea. It is iron bound with the exception of one landing place on the north side, near the eait end, murked by n grove of cocoa nut trees, and a few boat homes. Tint spot is easy for a stranger to find. There are no shoals nor any danger! but such at can be teen ; an easterly current prevails, varying however with the lime of tide. There is anchorage about \to£ of a mile from the shore, south of the north-west end, in from 10 to 20 fathoms, during seven months of the jear, from the beginning of September to the end of March during which time eas'crly wmd« are prevalent, lti^h water, with a ri.e of eight feet, lakes place three hour* after the rising of the moon. The following; u a Hit of the refreshments which can be supplied to shipping, and the prices which are fixed— the lame charge being adhered to whether the the season be plentiful or scarce :— Cocoa nulfl, Ba. per 100 Fowli, 12i. per dozen Oranges, 4s. per 100 Limed, B*. per barrel Limejuicc, '<?»• P" gallon Plantains, Bananas, Pumpkim, Water melons, Sweet Potutoes, Beann, &c, little of which can be spired, but prices very reasonable. When purchased «nd paid for the articles arc brought down to high-water mark, where they are at the purchaser's risk. The islanders will bring them otf in their own boats if it be wished, for which no charge is made, although some renumeration i* expected. A Uecrnt Visitor.
