NEW ZEALAND OATS.

The New Zealand oats which are arriving in London are making a considerable impression here in a quiet way. A gentleman, sa} r s the Daily Times ’’ correspondent, brought some to mo the other day, which he picked up in the docks —the leakage from sacks of oats which were being taken out of the ships. He thought that such corn had never been seen in the country before. I met another gentleman from Mark Lane, who brought the same report as to the impression New Zealand oats were pi'oducing there. I am told that they are selling at more than 30s per quarter. With such a quality of oats as these, I do not see why oats should not pay to ship to England as well as wheat, that is if anybody can be persuaded to sow oats again who has once had to sell them at Is per bushel. _ At any rate, to send such corn Home is indirectly a great benefit to the colony. A few samples going about the country are capital emigration agents, and as they will soon be eaten up they will escape the pitiless abuse which usually falls to the lot of an ordinary mortal who tries to do good in that way.
