Latest advice received from Sydney states that wool freights are now nine-six-teenths of a penny for greasy_ and eleVeu-sixtecnths for scoured. Owing to tho competition amongst New Zealand steamship o\vnors this colony's woolgrowers are getting the benefit of a throe-sixteenth rate. The position iriust strongly favour New Zealand farmers.

Mr. J. Bringaris has Undertaken tho duties of hflfldieapper and starter. Dr. Hocken has supplied the Otago Daily "Times with an interesting note on the origin of the name Otaeo. He says : Otago shuld be, Strictly, Otukou. The name wrs given to the v^hoie block, but is really confined to a email portion of land within the Heads. Its meaning is "red earth," which refers to the red ochre there found and used by the natives to snieftr their bodies with when prepnrsd with the delightful addition of shark oil. "Otago" is a corruption of! Otakou ' or " Otako "—but we moderns ] sin in good company, for Captain Cook himself gives a portrait of a chief un- | dersigned " Otago," showing how easy it is to substitute the v g" for tho "k" sound. He rtko speaks of "tiki" as 'tigi. ' T n the first, number of the Otngo Neita (13th December, 1848) is «in advertisement, and also a letter from the Now Zealand Cdmpany deciding that UlO name Otago must do used instead of Otakou, because the former appellation has always been teed in the correspondence between the company and the Free Church A&stfcintion, despite the appear' anc© in 'Colonel Wakoiiofd's doed of pur« chas© of Otakou.
