ES T A TES ON THE THAMES. I Extract from “Auckland and its Neighbourhood” —(a work of which large editions have been sold in London, and in the neighbouring Colonics, and of acknowledged truthfulness of detail): — “A few miles still further to the Eastward, you reach the Southern extremity of the Gulf bounded by the Plain, or Valley or the Thames. This Plain is upwards of sixty miles in length, by about sixteen or twenty miles in breadth ; and is watered throughout its whole extent by two winding rivers —“ The Thames” and “ the Phtko.” Both Rivcis are navigable for barges or Small Steamers for a distance of 50 miles at least, and are accessible from Auckland b}'- canoes or open boats in fine weather. With its numerous harbours, estuaries, rivers, islands, forests, and plains, the Gulf of the Thames comprises a commercial world in miniature.” “ Into this river wo entered, and within three miles found the water perfectly fresh ; we proceeded up the river fourteen miles. The river at this height is as broad as the Thames at Greenwich ; it has water enough for vessels of more than the middle size, and a bottom of mud so soft that nothing coni I take damage by running ashore.”' —Captain Cook'.
