Tim SunvßY ov the New Zealand Islands, BY 11. M. S. •• Aciu'.ron." — The more important objectH for which thii vesiel and her dittinguuhed Commnnder was sent to these seat have been crowned with every success. Since last the Acheron wat in this port, not more than eighteen month* ngo, the east parts of the Northern, and the whole of the Southern and Middle Island (excepting only the river Pelorus), have beru carefully anil elaborately 6ur« veyed. the errors upon former churls rectified, nnd their accurate point* confirmed. A degree of security will thus be given to future navigators which is of the highest importance to commerce nn<l to physical science. The beginning of thii year wan devoted to the Burvey of the western coHtt of the Middle Island, along which a stupendous and almost uninterrupted ridge of lofty mountains— -forming the Alp» of New Zealand — rise into miduir in craguy peak*, in ninny parts coveied with perpetual enow. The most lofty and im rosing of these are round Milfoul Himn, the iccneiy of which, judging from the drawings made upon tho spot, sin panes everything that the irn <gi nation might pObMbly conceive. Vast mountains, aB if cut in half, HHeentl from unfnthomiible depths, abruptly, and perpendicularly übove the sea, to the astonishing ultitmie of from 4 to 6000 feet. About one hundred miles from Milford Haven, however, i» n stupendous mountain absolutely double the above height, and which hud hitherto rema ned undiscovered : it* measurement was ascertained to be 12,000 feet above t!u> level of the sea— Captain Mokes has justly named ting after the irnmurtul Cook— without u vestige

ofvrpetaiion or without n ledge upon which a gont could retain its footing. No river or even utrcnm was found to break through the stupendous bnrrirr l>etwe«n the sea ami the interior out three waterfalls were discovered making their way between chasms, and then pouring down their waters perpendicularly into the ■en, from a height of more than 600 ft- et 1 We cjuention if scenery more awfully majestic or surpimmgly grand than that of Milford Haven existi in the soutlw. em hemisphere. Nrilher has the botany 'or zoology of the New Zealand Group been neglected, on the contrary, many new and important discoveries have been mnde, more especially in the former depaitinent, by the indefatigable exertions of Dr. Forbes, the chief surgeon, while many new and inleres.<intr marine tcsUicia or shells have been discovered by Mr. Evans, the master. On these, however, and the new species of kevi (aplenux), and the Btrnngc ground parrot, cal'rd ," we ha*e no space to cninncr»te. Mr. Swaiibon, F.R.S., the well known naturalist, volunteered his services during the last visit to Queen Charlotte'it Sound, and has now ac-compnnird the Acheron to our port with the intention of pursuing his researches for n few m»nth« in this most prolific portion of AustralHsia.—lbid, May 22.
