 As a harbor, in the opinion of tlie many naval officOrs who havo visitod New 
 Zealand, Auckland lina no equal in the colony, excepting the Bay <if lihmdtt.-^ 
 Of the thousands of vessels of all Bizea which have entered and left tho port m 
 the courM of tho last twelve years, not one has been totally wrecked in. near, or 
 within SO miles of it 
 
 And yet, With all this, the position of Auckland is but half described, ^ix 
 inlles to the south of tho town, across the isthmus, and indenting the West Coa»t, 
 is the harbor of Mqnukaiu This harbor bears some resemblance to a roan's rigl^ 
 hand, pointed eastward— tho wrist rcprescntiug the entrance— Uio thumb, that 
 branch ofit which runs up to Onehunga, the nearcst point to Auckland^-Aiul 
 the middle flnffcrs, the creeks or branches which ])cnetrato into the rapaknm 
 district— and the little finger, stretched out, representing the Waihoku brapeh 
 which runs in a southerly direction until it roaches within less than a mile and • 
 half (2300 yards) of the head of the Awaroa Creek, which runs into the Wai- 
 
 ^HO River. Tho Waikato is navigable for cundcs for not loss than one huQ^ed 
 
 • «,-'^''<"^* "^y Of seventy mfles from the sea the AVaiheki is joined by theWalpa 
 River, navigable for canoes for upwards of fifty miles. The delta formed by 
 those two riveirs is a tract of rich level land, and they water an e:(tensiTe pla£i 
 Only separated from the plain of tlie Thames by a broken range of low IiuIl.^ 
 ■Thua it will be seen that those distant plains have watorjcommnDicatiott with 
 Auckland with but two short interroptions,— the oortoge of 2300 yarda^ which 
 divides the head of the Awaroa from the head ofthe Waihukn, and the Mhmos 
 of six miles dividing Onehunga from Auckland, i Native grown wheat ao^ flour, 
 flax, pigs, and Indian com are brought down the Waikatoin canoes, carried over 
 the portage, conveyed &cross Manukau in canoes or small craft to OQehQnin.fmd 
 cjirted, by a ffood road, from Onehunga, to Auckland. 
 
 Although the best on the West Goast of New Zealand, the harbor of STaiW- 
 kuuis far inferior to that of the Waitemata;« but it adds not a littte to the vajne 
 of the rite of Auckland. Of all the ports to New Zealand, Manukauia the rar- 
 est U^ being exacts opposite fa a sfraight line, to the capital of the Anslralian 
 colonies. From Auckland round the North Cape, the voyage to tarantdd qccu- 
 Mes SIX days. But from Manukau, the coasters which trade betweea the two 
 
 ? aces not unfrequently perform the voyage in 24 houi^ By way <>f the North 
 lapc^d, Nelson is distant eight or ten days— but by way Of Maaukairtho 
 yoyo^ may be accomplished in less than half the time; and, by the same route, 
 the voyage to Port Niqhohion ,fe shorter by ahnos^ a half than from the "t^aile! 
 mata by way of the East Cape. "WeU might the Bishop of New Ze«laad de- 
 Bcnbe Auckland as bemg admirably fitted Tor a maritime uatk>n, almost everv 
 aettler having, as he obaerviSs^ "the sea brought conveniently to lus door, or at 
 least cloae to hhn, by one, or other of those long fingers of the great eatlwKes 
 which Almost isolate the tpwn and its suburban d&tricts." No on| has ttwSd 
 more eirtensively througliout the length and bread^ of the island? dtNewSa-

 ttoo being covered with fern and ^grass. ITie soil, consisUng of o dry red volctniA 
 rormation to a great depth, the greater part covered with scoria ; and, where It 
 is only on the surface, the soil ia a rich red loam, very fertile. Another portloi 
 covered with trees and shrubs, shows a rich mould of a volcanic nature to a 
 depth of several feet, mixed with red sand imd small calcined atones, resting upoU 
 « sabstrotam of concrete. Another small portion, lying along the banka of freah 
 water creek^ covered with evergreens and tree ferns, affording a rich pliable clay, 
 mixed with ferruginous sand, resting on a substratum of a soft yellow ahd red 
 ferraginoos sondstonfe. It is thus seen what a variety of soils are offfered to the 
 •gricoltunst, each adapted to some particular production, and favoroble to 
 some peculiar mode of agriculture." 
 
 Further experience confirmed the Society in their opinion of the capabilities 
 of the sou. In their Second Report, the Committee say that "they have much 
 pfeBBure in being able to state that their anticipaUons of the capabilities of both 
 tbe soil and chmate have been fully realiaed. llie samples of grain produced at 
 the AgncultnnU Show of last February were of the finest description, and the 
 ai>pcai2ioce of the crops abeady in the ground, in every variety of soil, rives pro- 
 mise of an abundant harvest" •' . -» »b i*" 
 
 After the experience afforded by the six succeeding years, the Committee, in 
 their Report for 1850, express themselves to be '■ satisfied that the aspect of the 
 county around Auckland warrants the praises which have been bestowed ou 
 
 S ^«id as an eligible colony for bur countrymen at home to select as a 
 icbve field^ for their energy and enterprise : the pasture lands," says that 
 rt, "liave this year produced heavy crops of hay, and the appearance of the 
 and jwtatoe crops is very promising. The quantity of stock- which a pas- 
 turefleld, m proportion to its average wiU maiutain throughout the 5-car la

 It may be remembered that, about fifteen years ago, a number of enterprisimr 
 men associated themselves together for the purpose of carrying out a creat 
 ■cheme of colonization. Imperfefetly as they were then known, and distant as 
 thw were from England, the Islands of New Zealand appeared to them to pro- 
 MBtthe most promising field in which to try their great experiment. AnxioUa 
 to aeemre the success of their project, they carefully instructed the leader of the 
 enterprise if possible, to secure that site which should be best adapted for a 
 ne^and prosperous settlement The working members of the body were 
 Bhrewd, experienced, able men. Guided by the light of history, and with their 
 "!!°?2^°H knowledge^ they carefully traced out for the guidance of their 
 agrat their ideal of the site for a Commeroial Metropolis. « Of merely feitile 
 lands, they say, " there exists so great on abundance, that its possession, how- 
 ever luefol and valuable, would- not be pecuUariy advantageous. ^Mere fertility 
 of B(^f therefon^ thoujjh not to be overfooked, is a far less important considcn^-

 t*ti|n, liMtk (h>ntago on tho water of about a mile and a half, and oistopda tnlaml 
 to, the digtance of about a mile. At peaeiit, tho greater namber of the hooaei 
 haVd beoQ bttilt near the water, in the bays and on the headlands with which it 
 tk indented. Those bays are backed by small yalleys which mn inland to tho 
 distance of about half a mile, terminating in narrow gullies, and are separated 
 from each other by spurs which run into tho harbor and tormiuate in low head- 
 iaiids. 'Vhd lower parts of the Town being thus'separfited, tho roads whick 
 connect them with each other are Homewhat steep and inconvenient 
 
 Seen fh>ihii the B arbor, the Town makes a considerable appearance, t^nd sag^> 
 ^Cs the id<» of ejcpandveness. St Paul's Ohurch, with its neat spire, occupying 
 a |)romipent position on tho centre headland is an ornamental feature. Thtt, 
 pftxrvikB, the Scotch Ohurch, the Colonial Hospital, the Wesleyaa Institution^ 
 'ihd Ctotnan Cfttholic Church, and the Wmdmill on the hill, with Mount Eden ia 
 th« b^ ground are the most prominent objects. Approaching the shore, Ofii- 'j 
 
 dalBay, commanded by 8t Paul's^Church, and witn its detached cottnge-liko 
 houses built on a sheltered slope, each snugly nestled in tho luxuriant shrubbery 
 ^f tta snrrdnndin^ garden, looKS pretty and picturesque. Commercial BaVi seen 
 from the water, presents.the appearance of a largo Town, haviux a moss of houses : ^ 
 
 d^ly packed toother. Mechanic!^ Bay is as yet but little built upon; a larvo 
 rope-walk, a ship-builder's yard, a native hostelry, and a few small shops are Iho , 
 only boitdings. This Bsjy is the principal place of encampment for the natives 
 Visiting Aticktand in their canoes; here they land their native produce, in fine 
 tveather bivonocing in the open air, or under their sail^made tents; and in bad 
 weather, seeking shelter in the neighbOTing' hostelry. Freeman's Bay, to the 
 westward of Commercial Bay, is occupied cluefly by saw-pits, brick-kilns, end 
 boait<buiIders' yards. 
 
 The principal streets are Princes Street, Shortland Crescent, Queen Street' and 
 Wnkeffeld Street The first is a broad, strajght, spacious, well-made street ou a 
 
 Sntlo slope; St Paul's Church, the Treasury and the Bank, mH the Masonic 
 otel are its principal buildings. Shortland Crescent which connects Princea 
 Street with Queen Street is built on rather a steep ascent It is less broad than / 
 
 Princes Street but much longer. On one side it is almost wholly built upon; 
 6h6pis and stores are here to be found of every description, and of various forms 
 and ^lo. No attempt at unirormity has been made; every one has built ac- 
 cording to his means, fancy, or the size and shape of his ground. Tlieoulyap- 
 jj^oach to uniformity is in the material---w'ith a few exeeptioQi:, all are of wood. 
 Tnfi .roadway of the street is an even McAdamized surface; but no attempt has 
 tetb^dnjtDade to form foot-paths on a generaU^^ Some of the shops would 
 mif dtegraee a small provincial town in England; but taken altogether as a street, 
 Sh0rM<^Ol«8cent IS irregular and unfinished. Queen Street 13 the least built 
 tiMin, but in other respects it is the best and mo9t considerable street in Auok- 
 umd, It is about half a mile long, nearly level, and almost straight and tormiuatca S' ] 
 
 it Itsnotthern extremity in a pier or quay, which runs into the Harbor, and ^' 
 
 fflongmde 5f Which small crafto can land, on this stage, their cargoes. At its 
 Bonthem extremity it is overlooked by the Wcsleyan Seminary, or Boarding 
 flcnool fof ithe education of tho children of the missionaries in .these seas— u 
 ti|>aclott$ brick-built and substantial structure. The Gaol is badly situated, and 
 HOT no means a donspicuous building ; but by a diligent search it may be found

 The Woitcmata is well adapted for boat-sailing. Canoes from fdl' parts of the 
 Qalf are coatinually arriving and departing; and with nearly a hundred vessels 
 from distant pOrt»— upwards of four hundred coasters — and nearly two thousand

 Once or twice a-year the native chief Tiiraia and his tribe, from the eastern bono-
