lead us to hope that skilled labour, will not be long wanting in New South Wales, in which case, we see no reason why a course woollen Cloth, or baize adapted for this Market, might not become a large and profitable export from New South Wales.
The demand for labour continues unsupplied, and urgent representations have been transmitted home, with the hope of procuring permission to import Coolies from India. As we have many times pointed out, it must soon be discovered at Sydney, that it will be far better to obtain a supply of la- bour from hence, that from India.

We perceive by the NEW ZEALAND'C
'GAZETTE' that already the Merchants have begun to look out for the cheapest Markets, from whence to obtain their necessary supplies, Hitherto, not only Flour, but-India, and China goods, besides many articles of European manufacture, have been obtained from Sydney. As the credit of the New Colony stands deservedly high in England, there will soon be no lack of all wanted kinds of European manufacture; indeed we are sure, supplies will soon be abundant from home Two: Vessels have been sent from the Butler, when Sergt.

Looking to the present and rapidly aug menting population of New Zealand, we are dis posed to think it would not be an unprofitable vent ture, to dispatch thither a small vessel from hence with an assorted Cargo, of Tea, Sugar Sugar Candy, Coffice, Silk, goods and sundry Chow ChBW articles; some of which, as well as some of those enumerated might be obtained at Singapore or Manilla, on better terms than here.
may be remarked that merchandise seht direct, would command a decided preference with the Consumers; who have a well grounded belief, that by their present indirect source of supply, they often get inferior articles and the refuse of the Sydney market. In another part of our paper we quote the prices of some articles as given in the New Zealand Gazette and the duties leviable there.
We learn that the Governor of the new French Colony of the Marquesas Islands, has been killed. by the natives and it is reported at Sydney, that the British have taken possession of the Sandwich Islands. We do not credit the report, although these Islands we believe have long been under our protection. The assumption by France of the Protectorate of Tahiti, has it is said led to this measure. Whatever the motive, we confess we should be glad to see a British Colony planted on one of the Islands of that groupe. We hope too, Mr. Brookes appeal in favour of the expediency of a British Settlement, on the Island of Borneo, contiguous to the Coal field, will have its due weight with the Home Government. How much the future condition of Hongkong may be benent ted, by a Colonization which shall open up the boundless virgin wealth of the Eastern Archipel ago, it would be wholly supererogatory to point out,
