THE NELSON EXAMINER. NELSON, NOVEMBER 17, 1849.

Journati become more necessary at men become more «qual and indiriduAlUm more to be feared. It would be to ■underrate their importance to suppose that they lerve only to ■ecure liberty : they maintain civilisation. Dm TocaUBYiLLi, Of Democracy in America, to!. It., p. too. The Resident Agent of the Company returned on Thursday from the Waitohi, where he. went about a month ago for the purpose of completing the arrangement with the natives at that place previous to the survey of the new town. We understand that Mr. Bell has surveyed the native town at Waikawa, where the Waitobi natives agreed to settle when the purchase of the latter place was effected. When the sections had been laid out, the chief men proceeded to select, just as a landowner would have done here. They have commenced building in their town, and already several houses, of a much better description than those in Maori pahs, are nearly finished. Not only the Waitohi natives, but numbers from other parts of the Sound, came up in holiday attire for the occasion, and chose their lots. We refer our readers to an advertisement, wherein we perceive the Resident Agent intends to proceed at once with the survey of our town. We hear that Mr. Bell met Mr. Fitzgerald, the Government surveyor, at Waitohi ; that gentleman having been sent over to report on the proposed line of road through the Pass to the Wairau. There is a report that Mr. Fitzgerald thinks the road could not be made under £10,000: but this is sheer nonsense. We do do not want one of your military roads, which pay your surveyors et id genus omne so well : we want a dray-road, travellable in the summer, in which season it will be chiefly used for the next few years. Give us the money we asked for, and wa will make it ourselves.

We have received three numbers of a new publication printed in Wellington, bearing the name of Ko Te Ao Marama, or the New Worlds which is intended as a newspaper for the instruction and enter* tainment of the natives. Every notice contained in it is printed in both the Maori and English language, and may therefore be read by both people. The advertisements, of which there are several, are all addressed to the natives, and contain offers on the part of the Wellington merchants to take flax, and other Maori produce, in Wellington, or to collect it on the coast. This sort of information must be of great service to the natives, and will be likely to stimulate them to exertion by constantly reminding them of their ability to provide for all their reasonable wants by the practice of a little industry. The writing in the New World is principally of a practical kind, and addresses the natives on the importance of labour, cleanliness, education, peace, and other matters of a like beneficial tendency. There is also an interesting account of the greenstone country in this island, which appears to have been taken from the Maori Messenger — a similar publication issued at Auckland — and is evidently written by a gentleman who paid a visit to the West Coast from this settlement about three years ago. Altogether, the New World seems well adapted for the object it has in view — the instruction of the native people in the arts of civilized life, and giving them a general acquaintance with the manners and history of the inhabitants of other portions of the globe. The publication is issued fortnightly, and the subscription of six shillings a year is so small a sum, that we imagine there will be little difficulty in inducing the Maories to give it their support when they are once made acquainted with its nature.

We are unable to find room this week for some remarks we bad intended to have made on the present aspect of the political affairs of the colony, but the subject will keep until our next, and meanwhile the letters of Mr. E. G. Wakefield, which we publish, will compensate for our omission.
