New Zealand Mail, Issue 13, 22 April 1871, Page 14

Auckland-made Bope.—The "Cross calls attention to the fact that it was at Mr Lloyd's steam rope walk, in Auckland, where the example of rope taken by the Beeaca was manufactured, and. adds:—" Mr Lloyd s ropewalk is now of a very extensive and complete kind, with all the latest improvements in the trade. The ropes are even tarred by steam, and the tar itself is also heated by steam in a wooden boiler. There is no doubt that the highly-favorable report made of the trial bv the Besaca will have some effect in not only inducing the merchants in Auckland to use the rope, but also to bring about a large export of the article." A Letter ebom Te Hira.—We (" Cross ) have been obligingly furnished with a letter sent from Te Hira to Hori Tupaea, of Cabbage Bay. The following is a translation of the document:—" Ohinemuri, February 22,1871. ites, at Shortland. Listen ! Te Hunia has arrived here to stop the mail. He has been talking with Te Turi.

This is ail the word that we haYaloi&Ttoyou.'i
