Two very sensible letters from Mr. John Gardner, Glorit, Koinokoriki, have been published respecting the required wharf at the junction of the Kaipara and KaukaDakapa Rivers. The whole of the Kai parians would be benefited by this much-needed work. We are longer in going the last ten miles than the first fifty, besides the danger of being run down in the circuitous winding of the river; in fact, it seems a mantrap for small boats by night or day. We cannot expect an abortive Council to forward this important work, as they require all the available monev spent on the eastern side of the county, If railway extension is to pay, the best access to it must be given. Government improvements always recoup themselves. If a landing wharf were made at Tauhoa the steamers could call with the mails, instead of the dreary route by way of Mahurangi, as at present. Were these concessions adopted, train and mail services would be remunerative, and appreciated by this part of the colony.—{A Correspondent.]
