PJB OSPB OT U 8 OP THH "TAURANGA record and bay op PLENTY EXAMINES j" A Weekly Newspaper for Tauranga and the Bail of Plenty, A S ®?? oU ® P RI . 3K ? has nc-7 arrived in the -**- affairs of this District afFect-'.ng it 3 permanent prosperity,^—which in. the opinion of the proprietors renders it imperative that a public journal posaessinff the confidence of the public, integrity, candour, and a freedom fr°m local prejudices or personal attacks should De supplied to the inhabitants of this important and promising locality. It is clcar now to every careful observer that the minds of the public hare recently been enlightened upon the policy hereafter to be pt.rsued. We have just learned that in proper hands and in a propter manner, peace may be secured without bloodshed, lne natives are not indisposed to listen to'reason when we do not approach them -with the gun in ore hands, 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 it amity between the two race?, increase of population, local industry and internal Di.-osperity, a-e the results. " - tit is needless for us to point to the unusual natural advantages wliich this district possesses 3 to a beautiful harbour, second only to Auckland on the East Coaßt, into which ships of war can enter at low water, to the innumerable inlets which almost surround as many promontories of fertile land, Waiting - lor hands to wield the spade or the plough, but which have been kept still by the danger —real or imaginary— of warlike attacks, but whioli may now fearlessly proceed to turn this hitherto silent wilderness into a country dotted witli thriving farms and happy homes, where the music of children's voices and the various sounds of industrial life shall echo from many a hill and vale, and announce that the time has arrived when " swords shall be turned into ploughshares," when " grirnyisaged war" shall give place to peace, contentment, and abundance ; and when this beautiful Bay shall become in a hundredfold greater degree what Captain Cook named it a hundred years aero* the Bay of Plenty. There is every reason to believe that a bright future of prosperity is about to open for Tauranga, His Honor's recent visit to the District having had the most encouraging effects. The great question of the knds of the natives has been settled to their satisfaction. Those who were friendly |are more 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, began to tell upon the settlers, many of whom have for some time been waiting about the town in a state of uncertainty, bat have now disappeared, having either proceeded to their lands or otherwise found employment. These are features that in themselves justify the proprietors in publishinga newspaper on a more enlarged scale than the one which has preceded it. It is the determination of the proprietors to undertake that the paper shall be conducted with the necessary ability, and the 1 , it shall supply a very con- : 6iderable amount of reading matter, both local and general, original and select, and that, though the welfare and prosperity of this district shall be its primary object, yet matters of more general : interest will not be overlooked, and will b6 treated with fairness, truth, and honesty. ' ' . The Tattbakga. Akghjs haying now changed hand,, it is proposed to produce this; paper mora frequently) ." and on a very much hioro extended scale. Its issue' will be once a week, !»nd, to commence with, the' paper will bo the some size as the Argus. Arrange-; ments 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 bo procured, will' enable the new proprietors to produce ,a paner supe- ■ rior in its appearance to its predecessor. Opotiki, our sister settlement, will command a prge share of attention, her interests being idenlitnl with our own, and to this end the proprietor will secure the advices of an able and reliable correspondent. WHAT IS LIFE ASSURANCE P 1. It is the exercise of prudence—of benevolence. 2. It - secures independence—domestic happiness to the ' widow and orphan. 3. It is more efficacious in its operation, as regards the moral and domestic comfort of the people, and in its tendency to reduce taxation, by its reduction of pauperism, and possibly ■ of crime, than the legislation of our wisest statesmen, and it universally adopted, would be a national blessing. 4. It affords to persona of every class, and in every station of life, the means to avoid much future misery to til 121 fami- ! lies, and to render them independent of public or private charity 5. It is a scheme by which any sum of money may be secured at death, whenever that event may take place, or to be received at any given ago of the lifo assured. i THE QUEEN INSURANCE COMPANY Of LIVERPOOL and LONDON".
