TO THE INHABITANTS OF NEW

SOUTH WALES.

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN AND FRIENDS rI"1HE prompt liberality with which you *? have come forward to render every assistance in your power to your fellow coun-trymen in this colony, demands at least aa

equally prompt acknowledgment from those whom you have so efficiently served

The utter destruction of a setih-ment, containing hundreds of British subjects, is a misfortune of no ordinary description, and we have unfortunately, since the occurrence of that lamentable event, to add A long list of other distant settlers, who, deprived of every thing but their lives, have been compelled to seek in Auckland, a place of refuge from further violence j under Buch trying diffi-culties as these, it could not fail to be most gratifying, that no sooner were they known to a neighbouring colony, than our country-men there stepped forward to alleviate the distress that already existed, and took every menns to put a stop to the further march of destruction by calling for a sufficient aid for our protection. lYour Committee of Ma-nagement, especially demand our gratitude, and we cannot but express our admiration that the Clergy of every denomination should at once have united in the exercise of the holy duty of charity.

To the suflerers by the late disasters, your generous sympathies and timely assist-inco are most consoling and acceptable ; and, by the inhabitants of Auckland your kind exer-tions to secure them against similar cala-mities are most fully appreciated : accept then, the wann and heartfelt thanks of all for kindnesses which can never be fur gotten.
