SEVENTY-ONE YEARS AGO.

PORT CHALMERS—J utr 29tii. The wreck of the Pipde of the Yarra, as now lying near Blanket Bay point, is advertised for sale by auction in Dunedin on. Saturday next. The wrick of the brig -Fanny A. Garroques is noticed as having been sold for £7 10s. Another disposal is to be made of what remains in Wickliffe Bay of the steamship Victory. The hull and some material lying near the Lagoon are to be sold on Friday. We think there can be little doubt of the result of the military operations against the Waikato Natives, providing the advantages at command are fully availed of. Numerous and warlike as the Waikatos indubitably are, they cannot make any lengthened stand against the powerful force and resources brought to bear against .them. That they will, make resistance is very probable, and it is equally; so that the campaign will be far the most important in its character of any hostile movement that has yet been undertaken .by the Government. . . .* .... We have now exhausted the resources of the policy of humiliating concessions, blindness to crime and outrage, and feeble and timid opposition to a rival national movement, and it remains to be seen whether a policy based on the unconditional submission to the authority we ourselves recognise, will. not, whilst putting an end to the hostility of the natives, raise them ultimately to that social and political condition they are unquestionably capable of attaining.

We learn from the Daily Southern Cross of the 14th inst, that the following notice has been issued to the natives near Auckland: —"All natives are hereby prohibited from sailing their vessels or rowing their boats or canoes to Auckland during the night time. Should they be overtaken by darkness when contiguous to Auckland they must remain outside the anchorage until the morning. It ia further notified that no guns or other weapons will be allowed conveyance to Auckland by boats.” At the ordinary meeting of the Town Board of Port Chalmers, on Tuesday evening, several communications from Mr Millar, the Board’s Engineer, were read and considered. With reference to the cutting in Grey-street, Mr Millar suggested that notices be at once served upon all owners or occupiers of ground on the west side of the_ street to build retaining walls or otherwise secure their properties without encroaching on the public highway. In accordance with this, were given to the clerk to serve the notices required. . _. . By several of the members attention _ was drawn to the danger and inconvenience caused to the inhabitants by the freedom with which cattle were allowed to r.oam over the town, either through the negligence of the police or of the non-resident, poundkeepers; and instructions were given to direct the attention of the police to the nuisance complained of.
