Tongaporutu.
(From Our Correspondent.) I The Coast, as usual, is very quiet. The grass is good, the weather is good, and the roads good, the latter being drier than they ever were. 1 There is plenty of road work going on, 6ft track's, and the Government I is actually making a mile of road 12 feet wide. The surfaceman is making a raid upon milk cows pasturing on the road, but stray cattle and horses he avoids. The regatta comes on at the middle of the month. This year it is more land sports than water sports. One of our settlers 'has gone to the very north end of the island for a wife, and has not yet returned. Plenty of dancing when he comes. Gossip hath it that there will Iks not a few weddings this autumn. The oil launch has not yet arrived, so that wo have to dcfiend upon the road for the removal of our produce.
