In nearly every other part, of < ihe colony pnicic works of more or less \ iiuginMnle are Ireing constrnctod, where, , nr. ‘ioeht, a large amount of labor can j he readily absorbed, and is really m'-ded, but- ixre the labor in the . • li.AiiH is • amo’y sufficient at present i oil pm rmxof public works, these b : ;!g only a few miles of gravelling ' on t;m road InTwecn here and Taranaki.

This would bo for Can; ain Vv iv.y to procure a, list- of t:«e trad s and oecimalions of the im.rdgranis espeei-td; notify in sncli rarnner ns ra.'-y ’>a most do.sirable, tluonghoul ti o <h:-trial, ti.at such people rre open to rng.p;emaut oh arrival, and let eai’iloym’:; then see if any amongst them would suit then- ve.mUvrrumls. 3t* woidil not be a great deal of trouble for l-.'.’j anihoritics at KeW Plymonth to veri y the occupations of those engaged before forwarding them to their various destination-;., so as not to scud a dressmaker for a dairy maid, or a hardygtivny men for n skilled blacksmith. Thus the immigrants would have homer, to go to dirccllj on arrival, whilst all, c-aing servants of any description, can thus readily and corlxiu’y obtain thorn. We hope that the suggestion will obtain consideration, as by it all parties will he served, whether employers or employed, and birds of paosage, only staying a few wed;:’, and thoir migrating perforce | !-here, will not be, as many have aiivndy been, a charge on this portion of the colony.
