A Government Gazelle issued yesterday evening contains a document of* great importance, as a practical following up of the invaluable information respecting Manukau Harbour which has recently been obtained by the successful survey b\ U.M.S. Pandora. Captain Drury now gives “ Sailing Directions for Mannkau Harbour,” thus affording the most reliable practical help to mariners. The chart of the Survey has, we understand, been forwarded to the Admiralty by H.M.B. Serpent , and will in due lime—we trust at the earliest possible lime—be published; but until that object be realized, a tracing of the

Survey is placed at the Surveyor General’* office, to which all who desire it can ha * free access. The Directions (which KeimJl fer from the Gazettej will no doubt be conied into the journals of the neighbouring coin, nies, and be found a safe and valuable <r U j f i to masters of vessels, who may perhaps'em 0 Man ukau Harbour for our produce before ,«! P chart is published. It will be observed if buoys are about to be placed at ih e m ,at important points iti the channels. 051

The Gazelle also notifies a Sale of Land lake place on the 21st of Sept. This and * other contents will be found in our l'* 5 page. Ast
