STATISTICS OF 1861.

Desirable as it is at all times to ascertain the position of one’s country, in as far as a comparison of past and present tables may enable one to acquire such information, it is of much more importance to do so at a period when we have passed the ordeal of a two years’ war—when the usual channels of traffic have been obstructed—when industry has been paralyzed,—when accustomed sources of supply have become greatly diminished, or have altogether ceased, —and when, in especial, the transactions between natives and settlers have necessarily taken a shape as impoverishing to the one race as prejudicial to the other. It is well, if possible, to define the extent of this evil, or, failing that, to show that it halj reached fo an extent which seriously menaces

native progress and prosperity. It will be difficult to do more by tabular statements than to give a demonstrative index of this fact;—a fact, however, only too well established by the cessation of exports of bread staffs, and by the large imports from other countries. There is one cheering circumstance to which we are happy to draw attention, and that is to the progress of European colonisation and industry which even in its infancy, under the much maligned forty-acre system, is beginning to act as a compensating balance for native deficiencies. The course of colonisation Northwards proceeds surely and steadily; much land has already been reclaimed, and much more is in rapid state of conversion; those colonists, in the first instance, large consumers of produce are in a fair way of becoming extensive contributors to the common stock; thriving settlements, comfortable homesteads, and goodly farms are bedecking a coast which but a few years since produced little beyond the fern and the tee-tree; much, if not most, of this is the work of the forty-acre men—those of them gifted with colonising heads and hands, with sense to know that independence can only be acquired by toil, and that patience, perseverance, and endurance arc the unfailing elements of success; such men, and above all those of them with families, can thoroughly appreciate a sys em by which they are progressing and prospering themselves, and paving the way for others like themselves: unfortunately, there are too many emigrants of a totally different stamp,— persons who, picking up a precarious subsistence in towns and cities, are powerless to brave and subdue the wilderness of any colony, but prompt to transmit their own faint-hearted and distorted impressions of a country and mode of life for which they possess neither understanding nor capacity; such sluggards, of which every ship imports a fair proportion, instead of bettering their condition, become loafbrs and grumblers, fastening upon newcr-comers than themselves whom they seek to inspire with their own destructive prejudices; notwithstanding these and other obstacles, the work of colonisation goes cheerily on, and trade and shipping progresses with it. Northwards, our coasting craft, which a few years since was small in number and tonnage and irregular in communication, is steadily on the increase, of enhanced capacities and accommodations , and performing their trips with a promptitude and regularity deserving the utmost commendation. In our Northern settlements, where natives and settlers are at one, we have an earnest promise of a large and continuous measure of success; the harvest is not yet, but ihe wilderness is no longer altogether a waste, the labourers are busy in redeeming it, many arc flowing hither to assist them, and with the restoration of peace, the Agricultural, Commercial and Maritime ascendency of the North cannot fail to dcvelopc itself more strikingly than ever. The Colony is, at the present moment, in a state of transition, more particularly in the Province of Auckland which, notwithstanding the many fluctuations of the war, has received a very considerable accession to its permanent and productive population. In by-gone years, when the European cultures were limited, and European customers but few, the Natives were the almost exclusive purveyors of wheat, maize, fruits, vegetables, and other articles of agricultural and horticultural supply. In many of these commodities the Europeans are now competing with them, particularly in vegetables, which arc brought to market in considerable quantities and of superior quality as well from the suburbs at large as from the adjacent Pensioner Villages. In wheat, flour, and maize, the deficit of Native imports has been painfully observable during the past year, and, from what wo have heard, promise to be equally so during the current season. At the close of 1860, there was a small increase in the imports coastwise of wheat, maize, apples, potatoes, onions, and fruits ; whilst, on the other hand, the supplies of kauri gum had diminished by Gsß|- tons, pigs by 249, and flax by 691 cwt. Things were then drawing into the war channel. Native industry was beginning to be checked, native prosperity to wane. And still following the same retrogressive course, wc find a deficit of native supplies in 1861 as compared with 1860, of 23,093 bushels wheat, 1925 bushels maize, 2814 bushels fruits, 255j tons potatoes, 311 cwts. onions, 62 cwts. flax; but, in gum, there is a small increase of 55J tons. Now this annual diminution in the supplies of Native produce, small as it comparatively is, in the face of a diminishing Native population, and a steady and rapid increase of European population, is a circumstance worthy of observation, indicating, as we think it does, a speedy transition in the relations of Natives and Europeans towards each other. Whilst tiie colonists were a handful, and their clearings, even'in the immediate vicinity of Auckland, were few and far between, it was accounted impracticable t ) compete with the Natives in growing wheat and other grains; this branch of husbandry was, therefore, left almost entirely in their hands; they had the market to themselves, and from the active mercantile competition for a means of freight and export, a hard and very remunerative trade they for many years enjoyed. If cultivation on their part is to go on diminishing, it must of necessity cause an alteration in affairs. In seven years, the population of this Province has doubled itself, and it still continues on the rapid increase. True, our cultivations have not kept an equal pace, and our aim has been directed more to meadow and pasture land than to wheat, oats, or barley crops; if the Natives arc to relinquish such pursuits, the colonists, perforce, must adopt them, not only in provision of their own wants, but in prevention of that importation of bread stuffs which for the last two years has heavily taxed our exchequer. This is one of the marked phases of our transition state, rand for this we hail the introduction of forty-acre men and special settlement parties as the sure and certain remedy destined at no very remote day to change the entire character and establish the permanent and great prosperity of Northern New Zealand. Even now the progress of European industry begins to tell. If there is a decrease of Native supplies to regret, there is an increase in the commodities of European supply, the fruit of colonial application, to rejoice at. The timber trade has fully doubled itself during the past year. Vast quantities have been used for home consumption; building never having been more active, or of so superior a character, than during the past year. Of the structures completed, or in progress, we need but mention the Steam Flour Mill of Messrs. Thcrnton, Smith and Firth, a brick building of large dimensions, filled with machinery of the highest class; the spacious brick saloon of Mr, Webb; the brick store of Mr. G. S. Graham; the auction mart and music hall of Mr. S. Jones ; the splendid mansion of Mr. Henderson; the beautiful three-storey warehouses rapidly rising on the Queenstreet Wharf; the Savings’ Bank in Queen-street; the warehouse of Mr. Hobson in Shortland-street—all edifices of the most substantial kind, and of a very superior order of architecture ; these may suffice to testify of progress of an enduring character, and to show the demand for skilled labour which the erection of such works necessarily entails. With all our appliances, and with all the aid of modern machinery of the most improved descriptions, timber can scarcely be cut quick enough to meet the double demand for home consumption and for exportation; nor can bricks be turned out with the requisite degree of dispatch. Our receipt of sawn timber, coastwise, exceeds that of 1860 by upwards of a million feet; that, however, affords no indication of the amount of the trade, inasmuch as many of the sawing establishments are situated within the port, and their produce never comes under supervision of the Customs or any other establishment. Ship and boat building have likewise been carried on very extensively; Mr, Nichol of Mechanics’ Bay. Mr. Carr of CfflcTdl Bay, M&Srt. Beddcfc's of the North

Shore with numerous other builders at Coromandel, ! Mahurangi, Matakana, Omab, Onehunga, and elsehave sent many goodly specimens of naval W hitecture afloat during the last twelve months. As arC u ii t ier of Maukin, Moa, Pacific, Albatross, and a * l6 . f u ][ of cargo boats of acknowledged excelNicol has long enjoyed a high reputation. i s ' now engaged in constructing a barque for Messrs. ° * rson an d Macfarlane, and if we may hazard an ■ 'on of a vessel little more than in frame we should inclined to say, looking at the beauty of her lines, hj * manner in which she is being put together, and the hj 6 m nious symmetry of her form that she will not mrmo er j aurc i to Mr. Nicol’s wreath, but prove 0,1 to the port from whence she is destined to 811 barque, which is expected to be afloat in hBI six or seven months, is 150 feet over all, 27 feet , ' otnC j, c eet depth of hold, with a half poop 60 k cam ’. ipno'th. She will be about 475 tons feet in icn©*' ilders’ measurement ; her keel is of Australian iron k her timbers of pohatakau, a wood even superior British oak, and her planking of a material not to l<> for durability and buoyanev—heart of be surpass " f * * . she will be copper fastened throughout, and ’ annff(*r accommodations will be on a scale of her passenger « excellence not to be surpassed. . , ; : From these examples it will be seen that our do- . ; n( f us try is not only of an active but of a greatly • „ character. In 1860, in consequence of the iraproviu© *' 'n<mncy of the Militia Act, and the arbitrary and offensive manner in which it was enforced, wo had to rret a very extensive exodus to Sydney. With the cessation of ihe evil the exodus has nearly terminated; ° any who departed having subsequently returned, and more being most anxious to do so. In 1860, p as3 cngers sailed for Sydney ; in 1861 there were but 520, showing a decrease of 897 during the latter ar • there has been a decrease of nearly 100 passengers to other Australian ports. 6 When the rush from Victoria, and other parts o* Australia, to the Gold Fields of Otago commenced, it was greatly feared that the example would be extenrively follow*l: here, and that Auckland would be • i of a large portion of its productive population. Memory of the deceitful issues of Rockhampton and Snowy River, happily for the Province and its settlers, caused considerable doubt of the Otago flourishes. The matter was carefully pondered, and though a brief but moderate exodus fora time ensued, it never reached the character of a mania, and was as quickly quelled it Wii s transiently excited. It commenced in August ami September, culminated in October, ceased in November, and is now in backward flow, which is certain to increase in larger volume as autumn closes. Already, disgusted with the severity of the Southern climate, tlmtotal want of timber for fuel or mining purposes, and the over-crowded state of the country, many practical and intelligent miners have arrived among these arc certain to be followed by many

thousands, possessed of energy, ability and capital, the Coromandel ranges can only be thrown open tc them, and its auriferous quartz demonstrated to be what it is believed to be—the richest as well as the most extensive of any gold field in Australasia. This is a point which the colonists are naturally most anxious to determine; it is the grand turning-point in the immediate future of Auckland. It is a point, however, in which the Native element may prove obstructive, not merely to the injury of the Province, but to their own incalculable prejudice. Wool, the great source of wealth in the Middle Island, is slow of progress here. The difficulty to acquire land from the Natives, and the cost of converting the bush to the meadow when acquired, is the unfortunate cause. In spite of these overpowering obstacles we continue to creep ahead, as the following returns will show :—ln 1858 the export of wool amounted to 156,237 lbs.; 1859, 182,613 lbs.; 1860, 174,030 lbs. to England direct, 96,332 lbs. via Sydney, 7000 lbs. via Melbourne, in all 277,362 lbs. In 1861 the shipments were 192,484 lbs. to England direct, 118,990 lbs. via Sydney—together 311,474 lbs. This is no cause lor boasting, but it is indicative of progress, however slow. A glance at our trade with the other Provinces will show that whilst our exports have very largely increased our imports have very sensibly diminished. Our exports of 1861 exceed those of 1860, by upwards of a million feet of sawn timber, 1226 bags of flour, 18,000 bricks, 89 kegs butter, 286 tons firewood, 5405 packages merchandize, 546,400 shingles, 594 doors, and 488 pairs sashes. On the import side there is a decrease of 723 sheep, 642 bushels grass seeds, 747 packages merchandise, 52 kegs butter, 97 skins, 198 hides, 4572 bushels oats ; but an increase of 2,973 bushels wheat, 3,719 lbs, wool, 86 boxes apples, 321 head cattle, and 988 bushels maize. Looking then not at the present position of the Province only, but at its prospective, we think its friends and well-wishers have every reason to be thankful. We have passed through the mismanagements of a two years’ war without any direct or overpowering sacrifices. We have advanced, when every probability pointed to our retrograde.' We have maintained our friendly relations with friendly Natives unbroken ; we have done more—the way has been paved for drawing them into closer relation and fellowship. War has been arrested, and if not yet converted to a peace, there is at least a hopeful promise of its being so. The crack of the rifle and the boom of the cannon have give place to the clang of the mattock and the shovel. Instead of driving saps we are pushing forward roads which will at the same time afford the means of protecting our frontier and conveying our produce to market. Doubt and apprehension have been succeeded by confidence. The governed count upon the capacity of the Governor. And although there is still no lack of growlers, there is an unequivocal amelioration in the social and physical aspect of the country.
