We have the satisfaction of announcing that the land question atWanganuiis definitively settled. The respective claims of the different tribes have been fully inquired into and decided upon by Mr. M'Lean, who was appointed to this task by the Local Government ; the greater part of the natives have signed the deed, and have received their share of the money, £1,000, as awarded by Mr. Spain. Mamoku and some other chiefs were up the river, but they fully acquiesced in the arrangement, and were expected down to sign the deed. Thus one of the principal grounds for the apprehension of future disturbances has been removed, and we hope that Wanganui will shortly become a thriving and prosperous settlement. We cordially congratulate Mr. M'Lean on his success in bringing this embarrassing question to a satisfactory termination, and hope he may be equally fortunate in arranging the land claims at Taranaki.

The importation of cattle to Auckland had of late been extensive, and a cargo had been sold at an average price of £4 a head.
