[We purpose continuing from time to time such a Note as the above of the prices of the principal articles required as Ship Stores, which, we are sure, only need to be extensively known to constitute an additional in*

ducement to the Masters of vessels tiading through these seas to visit our Port. Auckland hns the advantage of being a free port for shipping 1 , where strangers will not only find no vexatious 01 expensive port regulations, but also supplies generally in sufficient quantity and of good quality, — all articles of whips' gear, tackle, &c, are lower in proportion than other goods, being specially exempted from duty by our Customs Oidinance.]
