PROSPECTUS OF THE TATTKANGA BECOUD AND BAY OF PLENTY EXAMINEE, A Weekly Newspaper for Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty.

A SERIOUS crisis has now arrived in the affairs of this district, affecting its permanent prosperity, which, in the opinion of the proprietors, renders it imperative that a public journal, possessing the confidence of the public, integrity, candour, and a freedom from local prejudices or personal attacks, should be supplied to the inhabitants of this very important and promising locality. It is clear to every careful observer that the minds of thepublic have recently been enlightened upon the policy hereafter to be pursued. We have just learned that in proper hands and in a proper manner petce may be secured without bloodshed. The natives are not indisposed to listen to reason when we do not approach them with the gun in our hand ; and, though we lament the great cost of blood and treasure at which this knowledge has been purchased, yet it may not after all be thrown away if amity between the two races, increase of population, local industry, and internal prosperity are the results. It is needless for us to point to the unusual natural advantages which the district possesses : to a beautiful harbour, second only to Auckland on the East Coast, into which ships of war can enter at low water ; to the innummerable inlets which almost surround as many promontories of fertile land waiting for industrious hands to wield the spade or the plough that have been kept still by the danger — real or imaginary — of warlike attacks, but which may now fearlessly proceed to turn this hitherto silent wilderness into a country dotted with thriving farms and happy homes, where the music of children's voices, and the various sound of cheerful industry shall echo from many a hill and dale, and announcethat the time has now arrived when ' ' swords shall be turned into ploughshares, "when grim-visaged War shall give place to Peace, contentment, and abundance, and when this beautiful bay shall become in a hundred-fold greater degree what Captain Cook named it a hundred years ago, — the Bay of Plenty. There is every reason to believe that a bright future of prosperity is about to open on Tauranga, his Honor's recent visit to the district having had the most encouraging effects. The great question of the lands of the natives has been settled to their satisfaction. Those who were friendly before are mpre friendly than ever, those who were neutral are friends, while those who were in active hostility are now comparatively neutral, or at least indisposed to take active steps of hostility against us. This has, to some extent, begun to tell upon the settlers, many of whom have for some time been waiting about the town in a state of uncertainty, but have now disappeared, having either proceeded to their lands or otherwise found employment. These are features that in themselves justify the proprietors in publishing a newspaper on a more enlarged tcale than the one which has preceded it. It is the determination of the proprietors to undertake that this paper shall be conducted with the necessary ability, and that it shall supply a very considerable amount of reading matter, both local and general, original and select ; and that, though the welfare and prosperity of the district shall be its primary objects, yet matters of more general interest will not be overlooked, and will be treated with fairness, truth, and honesty. The Tauranga Argus having now changed hands, it is proposed to produce this paper on a more extended scale. Its issue will be once a week, and, to commence with, the paper will be the same size as the Argus. Arrangements are now completed for organizing an efficient staff, so that no event of importance will pass unrecorded, and a great quantity of reading matter will be supplied. An addition to the plant, about to be procured, will enable the new proprietors to produce a paper superior in appearance to its predecessor. Opotiki, our sister settlement, shall command a large share of attention, her interests beine: identical with our own, and to this end the proprietors will secure the services of au able and reliable correspondent. It is intended to publish the first number at an early date. Published on Saturday. Subscription ss. per quarter. Single copies, 6d. Head Office : — Te Papa, Tauranga. Agencies :— Opotiki, Mr. Thomas Wrlgley ; Auckland, Mr. Chapman.
