• Publications. A Magnificent Production! ! The Auckland Weekly News t ——————— — if SPEC,AL I NOW READY! ' NDMBER ! WI'III I 111 HI I li'lfcll ~ " J \T EITHER pains nor expense hare been spared by the Proprietors to make this publication the most attractive yet issued in the Colony,' The Number will include a » mUDSOWE COLOURED PRESENTATION PICTURE, Which has been reproduced in twelve colours, from a painting, specially executed for the News, by Capt. M. T. Clayton, and which represents a most picturesque incident in connection with the peopling of this Colony by our race, viz:— "THE SETTLEMENT OF WELLINGTON BY THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY." The scene, which depicts an historical gathering of Pioneer Ships in Port Nicholson, March 8,1840, has been graphically described by E. J. Wakefield, as follows" In the morning, a grand salute was fired by all the ships, which lay at anchor in an extended line between the beach and Somes' Island. The weather was delicious; and a large concourse of those on shore assembled to gaze on tho imposing sight. Six large Ships, decked with colours, above which the New Zealand flag floated supremo, were thundering away. The natives shared in the general excitement, and proposed to take Colonel Wakefield in their canoes round the fleet. No sooner said than done; and away they started in three large war-canoes, racing under the stern of each ship in succession, while the salute continued. In Epuni's canoe, the place of honour near the stern was assigned to Colonel Wakefield, and the two other canoes were commanded by Warepori and Tuarau.. They shouted their war-song most vigorously as they passed close to each astonished poop-load of passengers, and completed the circle of the vessels at full speed, without a single pause."
