THE NEW-ZEALANDER. SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1846.
He just avid fear not: Let all the ends tlion aims'fc at, be thy Country's, Thy Goi>'s, anil Truth's.
By the Slams Castle, which arrived here on Tuesday last, from Cook's Straits, we have received Wellington papers to the 29th April, and extracts will be found in our columns, detailing the operations at Porirua, &c. We cannot allow to pass unnoticed connected with the southern settlements : —that the troops and stores could not be landed for five days, at Porirua, in consequence of the heavy gale of wind. The troops are employed in making roads, and in throwing up defences, to protect Wellington from the incursions of the natives ; —and as the out-settlers have been driven from the Hutt and "Waimalu districts, there is very little probability of any production of grain next season; unless, as the Wellington Independent recommends, the unoccupied portion of the eleven hundred acres of Town land is put under cultivation. In fact, scarcity and high price of provisions are anticipated and feared, at Wellington, during the ensuing winter and spring: —and for necessary supplies, the settlers must depend on importation.
