In the advertisement of last week calling a meeting of the Creditors of Captain Richard Harvey, in the Mr. . . . mistake was made in the name; it ought to have been “James Harvey, trade, and dealer, late of Kororarika.” The Creditors of the said “James Harvey,” are therefore requested to meet at the Office of C.

To the Editor of the New Zealand Advertiser and Bay of Islands Gazette.

SIR,—Having been solicited on several occasions by our fellow-interested, for information on the subject of the meeting held here some time since, with reference to the society of the New Zealand Association in connection with that in Sydney, for protecting our rights as Landholders in New Zealand, against infringement upon them by the Government of New South Wales; in order to set all at rest, I have to add the accompanying letter, with its reply annexed, simply adding, that as Treasurer I have not received anything up to this date from any person, to forward the objects of the Association.

I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
BENJ. E. TURNER.
Kororarika, 10th Aug., 1840.

My dear Sir,—Great differences having arisen about the names of the gentlemen who were numbered to form the Committee of the New Zealand Association, and it being feared that in consequence thereof the important object for which we met on Friday, will fall to the ground, it has been agreed to by the rest of the Committee, that the Committee in Sydney shall act as sole Committee, and that I, their recognized Agent, should act as sole Agent here, receive the signatures and subscriptions, and forward them to Sydney. I trust this will meet your views and you will accede to it, as it is the only means of preventing dissension.

Your obedient servant,
CHAS. B. BREWER.
Mr. B. E. Turner, Kororarika.

Kororarika, 10th Aug., 1840.

Sir,—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your note, without date, which I only received last Saturday, in reply to which I should like to be informed what you mean by the rest of the Committee, and whether, having called a meeting for a definite object, in which you took so prominent a part, that it all at once vests with you, or any unknown individual, to defeat the resolutions proposed. If the Committee, or any part of them disapprove, on reflection, of the proceedings which took place, it is only proper that it should have been called the matter right. Thus, there was none called to receive the body of the ship, or six or seven hundred others, and no that I had or ever was anxious for opinions or trust nothing of profit but that I do not wish to be considered amenable to our sums since the fact, that never by me have been needed. Not having any want of money, sufficient competency to meet all the exigencies, it will not be satisfied that I have any other in view, in this, than the good of those who volunteer to come forward in defence of their rights that they interest you and others, it would seem, are determined to sacrifice, instead of your own opinions as those to be followed at whole-sale our meeting to interference to those publicly expressed on the day to be acted at the one that took place on the 24th inst.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
BENJ. E. TURNER.

KORORARIKA: —AUGUST 13, 1840.

A pamphlet, in the form of a letter addressed to Lord Glenelg, containing statements of the New Zealand Association in London, by Dandeson Coates, Esq., has recently come into our hands. The object of the writer is to shew, that it would be impossible for the British Government to colonize this country in any way whatever, without most seriously injuring the aboriginal population, and he contends, that some other means than colonising should be adopted, in order to correct the disorders supposed to be committed by British subjects located here. Probably, her Majesty’s Ministers thought with this writer, in their continued refusal to entertain the question. The Marquis of Normanby states, that they had departed from that refusal with “extreme reluctance.” Every philanthropist, reviewing the History of all the colonies, must tremble with apprehension at the future fate of all native tribes within European, within British sway. We wish we could, on good grounds, entirely free our own minds from apprehension on the subject. Thus far, without a single exception, the Native inhabitants of European colonies have been, by one means or another, greatly diminished if not utterly destroyed. Will it be so in New Zealand?

It is perfectly plain that the instructions given to His Excellency the Lieut. Governor by the Marquis of Normanby, exhibit no small anxiety on this point in that Statesman’s mind. The very prohibition of the purchase by Europeans of the lands of the Natives, shews the apprehension of danger. Most carefully and distinctly are the original rights of the aborigines asserted. Most carefully is Captain Hobson cautioned to see that in no instance their property be infringed through their own want of foresight in the sale of lands, even to the crown. The words are—“all dealings with the aborigines for their lands, must be conducted on the same principles of sincerity, justice, and good faith as must govern your transactions with them for the recognition of her Majesty’s sovereignty in the islands. Nor is this all; they must not be permitted to enter into any contracts in which they might be the ignorant and unintentional authors of injuries to themselves. You will not, for example, purchase from them any territory, the retention of which, by them, would be essential or highly conducive to their own comfort, safety, or subsistence.
