WANTED, a married Agricultural Farmer, of good character, to rent on clearing lease, or to take charge of an eligible Farm of 1000 to 4000 acres; about 30 miles from the Bay of Islands, on which the family of the Proprietor may continue to reside.

The object of the Proprietor being merely to raise the property under a respectable occupant for a few years, and to provide a reputable neighbourhood, none but persons with families, and of general farming experience, need apply.

Commercial Inn,
TURNER'S TERRACE, BANK SQUARE.
J. R. YOUNG, has the honor to acquaint his numerous friends and the Public in general, that he has at length (at a great expense,) completed his arrangements in the above INN, for the reception of Gentlemen and Private Families, where will be found the highest comforts—quite equal to those in the most respectable Hotels in the adjacent Colonies, the want of which has hitherto been so loudly complained of, and so much required, in New Zealand.

The situation, directly in the rear of the Police Office and New Zealand Bank, is the most salubrious in Kororarika, whilst it is in the centre of the business portion of the Town, where Boats can land in the severest weather—a very great advantage.

He has laid in the choicest collection of Wines, Spirits, Ale, Porter, Cordials, &c. the Colonies can afford, and hopes by strictly looking to the comforts of his Guests, to meet with a liberal share of Public patronage.

Also, a few Acres of Land fronting the Harbour, suited for mercantile pursuits.—
Apply to WM. WILSON.

To be Let or Sold,
A portion of very fine Land at the Ananui, consisting of from 3 to 5000 Acres, in every respect adapted for the purposes of Farming or depasturing Cattle or Sheep.

The Land lies particularly well for the plough, being one continued flat, and free from stumps of trees or other impediments.—There are about two miles of wood connected with it, fit for fencing and ordinary purposes, besides several patches of puriri.
The Title is as good as that of any Land in New Zealand can possibly be.

DIED. On Tuesday the 16th instant, at the house of Dr. FORD, at Paihia, Captain OWEN DAVIES, of the Nimrod. His funeral took place yesterday.

To our Subscribers and Friends. —Owing to the severe damage which our materials received during our voyage, we have been unable to come before the Public as well as we wished. We are, however, endeavouring to repair the injury our goods have suffered, and in the shortest possible period shall improve our paper both in size and appearance.

The New Zealand Advertiser AND BAY OF ISLANDS GAZETTE.
KORORARIKA :-JUNE 19, 1840

Some of our friends in the other Colonies are, we are well aware, waiting for correct intelligence respecting the state and capabilities of New Zealand, both original and as a British Colony. We will not undertake to furnish them with that intelligence until we are in possession, ourselves of the best acquiring it from the most authentic sources. Our private opinion ought not to influence any persons in choosing this Country for their home any more than that of other persons. Our constant endeavours, therefore, will be, to arrive at the truth; and in order to enable us to arrive at this object, we trust our Subscribers located in different parts of the Island, will favor us from time to time with such knowledge of facts relating to the country, as they may possess.

It was expected that a meeting would be held yesterday, at Wood’s Hotel, on the subject of the Hospital, to receive the Report of the Deputation to His Excellency, appointed at the last meeting, but from some cause, of which we are not aware, it did not take place.

The meadows and pastures of the United Kingdom are stated to amount to 27,000,000 acres, or three-fifths of the land hitherto brought under cultivation. We should like to know, from authentic sources, what amount of the land in this Island within the range of European Colonization, is cultivated, and what portion is employed for the growth of corn and vegetables.

Kororarika Police Report.
THURSDAY, 3RD JUNE, 1840.
William Webster was brought before John Johnston, Esq., J. P., charged by Mr. Hector with robbing his schooner of about 14lbs. of some check shirts and three bottles of rum. A native woman, in whose hut part of the tobacco was found, stated, that Webster had entered her hut, with two more men, with his pockets filled with tobacco, and had given her about 2lbs., and that he had two bottles in his hand which, she thought was filled with rum. Mr. swore to having sold Mr. Hector some tobacco, a few days previously, and that the tobacco found was part of the same. Some tobacco was also found in Webster's box corresponding with the other. The prisoner was remanded for the apprehension of the other two men.

Since that time, Thomas Bull, another of the parties implicated, has been apprehended.

SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1840.
William Webster was again brought up for examination, but allowed to turn Queen’s evidence against the second prisoner, Bull.

Aipari, the Native woman, proved to Bull’s having been in her hut with Webster and Burns, and to having some of the Tobacco in his possession. The evidence of Webster was given with so much prevarication, that he was remanded on that charge.

Bull was committed for trial for the robbery.

Court was held yesterday, the particulars of which we may furnish in our next.
