NARRATIVE OF EVENTS FOR TilE YEAR 1865.

CAN TE RBUR Y .

I" rene,,;~/( the events of the p~st year , it is necessary to glance at the position of the province tQWallUt~e close .ot. 186~. ",Ve had t~en just passed through a period of prospCl;ty unexampled in our annals. TheWIse admllllstraho~ of our" astc Land Regulations had brought Within our borders much of the ca italattracted ~y the rich Goldfi~ld, .now on Its wan~, !hat exists III a neighbouring province. Our ~wnr~sourees, independ ent of this stimulus, had mult iplied equal to the most sanguine expectations. At thetime we are now ~peakmg of, we found our population had doubled itself in threc years. Our imports andexports exceeded I~ value thos.eof any other province in New Zealand, save one. and we were possessed ora va~t an~lulllmpalred e~late m. waste lands, which seemed sufficient to guarantee the adrancemont of theprovince III a ~orrespondm~ ratio for many years to come. "'ith this prosperity, however, came re uire­~ents that, ~'llh ~ less rapid development, would not have been felt. Railways, secure harbours forqshi .plUg, expensIve br!dges, te\legraphs, and other costly appliances of modern progress were deemed necessa~

C-4 and their aec?mphshment undertaken a!,d pushed forward with vigour. In the meantime the sta"natio~of commerce III England began to I~t;e Itself felt; A ruinous native war Jbliged the General Gove~nment

~of New Zealand to for;e I~PO? tha narket an Imme~se amount of paper. offering grcater profit to Ihe

I,h ~ore sohd resources of our mfant provmee; our loans became almost unne"oj!able ' our public worksl ~ q I!"peded ; .and a season of merean~ile depr.ession has ensued which may ngw, at th~ present time. be ;~~~~.J- .sldered at Its e.x~reme. But, notwlthstandmg these adver se circumstances, if we cannot congratulat~ our.

selves on unmlh/(!'ted prospenty;we may at least boast that, aft~r all, the position of the province is as goodbt. ~ as ever; our er:edlt, shaken by cIrcumstances over which we had no control, is being recogni sed where we. .' \ most care that It shoul*nd altho ugh extraordinary calls have been made upon the pu blic pur se durin~ '" . td~ffie pal s~ year, we have met them promptly, and can now look forward to a rich contrast to our pas1

le uate return. "-orks, whose magnitude are no t equalled in the whole of Ncw Zealand, have b?euur~ted in order to connect the Goldfield with the eastern par t of the prov!nce; lUI expenditure sta~tlingsum of its total is going on day after day, and .must montably ~ntmue fo~ m.any months~ If notto come, in tho endeavour to bring nearer the auriferous a~d the agricultural districts ; and this, too,it was deemed almost impossible to meet the ordinary requircmeuts of the provmce.I be truly said that never before has this province been placed in so critical a position . "'ith no

:aro the elasticity or, its resour~es and its final prosl?erity, .it would b<: unwise to shut our ey~s toct that , we are now arrived at a point when the utmost Wisdom IS re~llJre~1 In thos~_who have the dire c­

of OIU affairs, and careful statesmanship alone can save us from being involved in the general bank­y which seems impending over the rest of the colony,

It is not our intention to discus.s tho. manner in which the Maori war has. been conducted; we can onlyto mention that so much dissatisfaetion has been created by the proceedmgs I.n the North Islan~, t.hatreject of Separation has bee!, revived in the South by a bod>: called .the Mlddl~ Isla~~ Ass0.cIahon,e head.quarters arc at Christchurch. .They number several influential names in their rank s, haveIished a well.organised system of agItation, and cntertam sungume hopes of success.

e first great public work of the province was the Lyttellon and Chris tchureh Railway, which waseneed in Julv 1861. Since that lime a section of the railway has been in remunerative work, and tho

house Tunnei 'the main feature of this under taking, has bcen progressing steadily. The hardness ofrock cneounter~d has grcatly impeded the work, but at the end of November we find tha t, out of a totalth of 2834 yards 1079! yards have been driven from the Port side, and 1l39 ~ yards from the Heathcote,. g a balance of in5 ya~ds yet to be driven before its cO~lpletion, which is estima ted to occupy from teuighteen months, accordmg to the nature of stone met with.The insecurc state of Lyltellon harbour, which is the only outlet to the eastern part of the province, hasbeen a source of anxious consideration. "'Yorks involving a very large expenditure were recommendedpecial commission of scientific gentlemen in England, to whom the matter was referred. The Govern-

I while recozuisinz their advisability, found themselves unable to proceed as recommended from want~ds. A modified plan has, however, been proceeded on. The old jetty is to be partially rebui lt an d

nded : a wharf and embankment are to be constructed from the rnilwaycmban kment to the old jetty ;y is'to be erected for the accommodation ?f steam lighters at the western end of the new jetty; .an.d a

e breakwater is commenced at Ollicers POInt, on the line recommended by the H arbour Commission.stimated cost of the whole amounts to £40,000 . ",Yilh the exception of the breakwater, the worksbeen contracted for, the contractors accepting half-cash ill payment, and the balance in 6 per cent.incial Debentures at par; the work to be completed by July, 18G6.On the 31st of March, thc first lighthouse erected in Canterbury was in operation. It is on Godley, a bluff at tho 'entrance of thc harbour. The building is of stone ; it stands at an elevation of 400

above the sea; it is 32 feet.high, the light itself is 426 feet above the sea. It is cata-dioptric; the rays aresed by a three -wick lamp, ou the French moderator principle. The wicks are parallel, and transmitted

he line of the horizon by circular bells. or lenses, of thick glnas. The lamp is self.acting, and requiresy little attention; the lenses, being once fixed, can never be put out of order. The whole lightingaratus is enclosed in a large glass lan tern. The frame is of gnn metal, and the paues, thirty.six inbel', of plate.~lass half-an-inch thick; the roof, gutters, and weathercoc k are all of copper; tho lining

he roof, the raIlings, and pedestal plates being of iron . The stonework terminates in a cornice, on whichwhole of the ironwork rests, being held down by Lewes bolts, and surrounded by an ornamental iron. g, for the convcnience of the lightkeepers. The light is visible for thirt~· mIles, in elear weather. TheI cost of the works is about £3000.During the year ending 31st December, 1861, the number of ships inwards to the port of Ly tt ellon!l7, of an aggregale tonnage ot' 37,791 tons, conveying 3250 passengers. The total ","ue of import s in thoe period was £853,.1-3·1; exports, £406, 301; the duty collected was £ 73,026 lOs 'k1. The

urns for 1865 are not complete, but,in round nu mbers the imports may be stated at £6 25,000; exports ,,000; duty collected, £!lO,OOO. This is exclusive of the returns from ilokitika, the capital of the

Idfield. , of which wo shall speak at more len/(th in another place. During the wool season ending May,65, there were exported from Canterbury 20,394 bales of wool and 5790 skins, of the declared valuo of

8,6!l0, against 17,682 bales wool, 9!l84 skins , of the value of £411,4 t2, exported in 186:1..The first sad of the Southern Railway, intended to cOllnect the capital with Timaru and adjacent

unt ry, was tu!ncd 011 2·1th ~Iay. The cont ract as far as the Rakaia, a distance of th irty miles, has beent to Messrs. IIolmes anu Co., the contracto rs for the L~,ttelton and Christchurch line. Thi s parti aL isbe completed in two years fl'om dato of commenceme nt ; the cost of the whole will be £200,000, the can­ctors to work the line six months aftcr opening . The terms of payment arc :- One-half in cash; one­rter in debentures, at !l0 ; and one-quarter in land, nt £ 2 per ncre.A? imposin" suite of officcs has been addcd to the Government Builliings at Christchurch. These

mprlSe a new Counci l Chamber and refreshment rooms. They aro bu ilt of stone, are of massive pr opor­ns, and are by far th o finest buildings in Canterb ury.

The other public works begun or proceeded with during the year, with the excepti on 9f those conn ectedl th the "-est Coast, nre not ot' such an important char acter as to demand special notice. The Road &ard

scheme is found to answer well, and , under the au spices of these bodies, the face of the country is gradUJ:assuming a change for the bett er . A rather amu sing cont est took place betw een one Road Board andconst itu ent s. Thc form cr had introduced a toll-bar on one of the roads under their control. The inhqtants of the district were violently opposed to this measure, and testified their feelings by small riol.!which the obnoxious obstruction was twice demolished. A steady per severance in their object, howerer'the part of th e Board , bore down opposition , and th c P apanui toll -bar yct flourishes, a monument or' .financ ial gcn ius of the Avon Road Board.

Privat e ent erprise has kept pace with the year. ~Iany Ycry fine places of business have been addedthe buildings of the capital and country towns. Coming almost under the same denomination arc two Dstone churches in Chr istchurch. The 'lVesl eyan church is a commodious and handsome structure, andcredit to the body for whom it has been erected; th e other, St . John's, Church of England, is a \"ery prt.little building , of considerable architectural pretensions, conveniently situated in the eastern centre ofcity . The expcr iment of paid sitt ings is to be tri ed here for th e first time by th e Church of England.is ne cessary to add that both th ese buildings received liberal grants from Government towards terection.

The first stone of the foundations of th e Cathedra l at Chri stchurch was laid with great solemnity16th Dc cembcr, 1864, th e anuiversnry of th o foundation of thc province, Thc foundations have since bcomplcted und er thc superintcllllcncc of a Resident Architcct, bro ug ht out from En"land for that purbu t at pre sent no sig ns of further progress appear. 'I'his is owing to the gcner~1 complaint-wantfunds.

On December 13, 18Gl·, Christchurch was first lightcd with gas, introduced b" a privat e company.usc has become very gencral, and we believe it is paying in a commercial point of view.

The Yolun tecr movement has received an extraordinary impetu s, This, we believe, has been caused~judicious action on thc pa rt of the Prov incial Governmonf and partly by a declaration on the par t of tilG~neral Gov~rnment of its intention of calling out the Militia . Many who had insup erable objec tionsbem~ force~ mto service therefore l'referred the alternative, and became ent husiastic ' ·olun teers. A conmodlOus drIll-shed has been crectcd 111 Christchurch at the expensc of the P rovincial GO"cmment; suitaarms hav e ueen provided also by th em, and prizes have been offered to stim ulate their elticienc\". Thcau ses combincd have produced a rcsult very satisfactory. ' Ve are at preeent poseessed of a VOluntforce, rcspectabl e in numbers, cquirmont, and efficiency, and who scem thoroughly to believe in the imtance of the movement . A nove feature in eur volunteering has appeared during the pas t year.cncampmcnt s ha"e ueen formed at Hillsboroug-h, three miles distant from Chris tch urch, at which all tilYelunteers of th e province have been strongly represented and which have been carried out to th 'credit , and the satisfaction of everybodJ' concerned. '

I mmig-ralion has not been so brisk as formerly. I n view of the slackne ss of business, the Governm eexercised a "; se discretion in restricting their operat ions in this departmcnt to a very limited number. Iis found also, we imag ine, that th e time is approaching when this province must ueeome independ entGovernment aid to swell our population, " ·ith the except ion of one descripti on of labour, it is a ~uestiillworth)' of consideration whethcr assisted immigration may not now be abandoned altogether. " ith 0newly-found Goldfields, and those of our neighbours, it seems certain that eur wants will be fully sup pliwithout directly taxing our resourc es for that especial purposc. The exception alluded to is that of lemudomestics. Although, in this resp ect, the province is becoming in some measure self-productive, the inJIwof male ropulation, and their general prosperity, demands a constant supply from without. TIns has booprovide, for. An advertisement ann ounces that female domestics, of app roved health and cha racte r, \Ii!be provided with free passage s from Englaud to Canterbul'J, Fo r the in formation of those likely to arlllthemseh'cs of this liuerality, we may quote the wages obtained here, as published in the colony :-llo\l!eom aids, £30 to £35 per aun um; cooks, £30 to £1.5; nursemaids, £ 25 to £30.

A ocnsus of the population in Ncw Zealand, taken at ti,e close of last year, gives th e following resuiUfor Cantc rb ur,v:-Males, 18,032; fema les, 13,321 ; tot al, 32,253, agains t 16,040 in 1861. Sheep, 1,567,320;horses, lO,8G8 ; cattle, 45,263. There were found to be 342,416 acres of grouud fenced, of which 70,000were und er crop. These figures were, of course, uefore th e Goldfield had been populated ; and , indeed,e\"erythin g we have hithe rt o spoken of relates only to E ast Canterbury.

In l 'rovincial polit ics th ere has not been anything worth noticing , save th e excitement caused by thtapproaching elcetio u for Superinte ndent. There are three candidat es now ean\'assing votes for th is office­Mr, Moorhouse, formerly in office, Mr. l 'ravers, an d Mr. Lance. The former, from his t ried ability andge neral populari ty, seems the favour ite.

constituents, they expended two or three hundred pounds in improv ing the IIurunui route, anrl caused thodestitute state of the intervening country to be advertised ; but for" long time no ot her steps were taken.At last, however, it became evident that the case was too urgent to admit of fur ther de lay, and reconnoitr ingparties were sent out in e.cry direction, with tho hope that some more favourable route would be foundthan the one already known. It WIlS at that time supposed that if a dray road could be constructed betweentile coasts, the whole of the traflic necessary to the new country would Jlow through that channel. TheGovernment now seemed in earnest, and spared no expense in the requisite direction. An amateurlarty,even, who have since hecomo historical under the title of the "pic.nie," were subsidize andothe rwise assisted in their ardent search for a practicable pass throngh the dividing range, which, howe ver,in their case, was without result. The Chamber of Commerce also offered a liberal reward, under somerestrictions, for the same service, but also without result. The Government were, howe,'er, more fortunate;for, after much preliminary examination, it was finally announced that a pass, first discove red by Mr .Arthur Dobson, vin the Upper Waimakariri, the Bealeyand Otira, hall been found to present the mostadvantageous, or rather the least ditficnlt, line for a dray road across the island. On this determmation, th egreatest energy was rlisplayed to make it available; and although commenced in the midd le of winter, andcarried on in an almost inaccessiblo country, destitute of supp lies uf any kind, the work has proceededeteadily, and at the time of writing is eomplete,1 for two-thirds of the distance. It is almos t impossible ina brief sketch to give any adequate idea of tho difficult nat ure of this work. The road from Hokitika toChristchurch-the t"'mini-is ubout 100 mill'S long; for 90 miles of that distance it passes over a successionof lofty mountains, precipitous ravines and dallgerous rivers , portions of it are carried throug'h tan/?Iedforests and swam ps, which present engineering ditficu lfios even more trouL lesome than the former portion.For 00 miles not a blade of grass is met with ; nothing but rocks and hills piled up in inextricable confusion,Nhingle beds, forest and rive rs. AI1l1 these arc not all. Here the travellor linds himself in a region ofalmost perpetu al storms ; it is no exaggeration to assert that, nine munths out of the year, it rains wit houtcessation, and all tho phenomena of the clements arc exhibited on a scale rnroly witnessed elsewhere.

Another rou te, by the Uakaia, has also been diseovernrl, and in some quarters Was looked upon withmuch favour. l'he Government have spent a considerable sum in the endeavour to make it nvailablo , but,from more extended experience, it doos not seem likely, from its great altitude, to be of much practical useexcept for driving over stock.

The greatest centro ofpopulation at the IVest Coast is Hokitika, which is situated at the mouth of tho riverof tha t name. It has a dangerous bar harbour, where, in its early days, an extraordinary loss of'vesse ls and pro.perty look place; as, howeyer, the plueo has become better known, lind the nal"igation imprO\"ed, the casua lt ieshave almost entircly ceased. and Hokitika at present imports nearly the whole of the supplies for the " ' cstCoast : its population is estimated at 7000. Greymouth, on the River Grey, 21 miles north of H okitik a,may be called the northern centre ; it is in the midst uf '"cry rich digogings, has a bar harbour similar toHokitikn, though of less capacity, and rivals IIokitika in population, which may be put down at 4,500 .1\' aimea, nine miles J. • F.., Totara, Okarita, )[ikonui, and Bruce Bay. south of Hokitika, are also Hourishingdiggings; in fact, it is harder to say where the ground in this favoured country is not auri ferous than thecontrary.

This addition to the magnitude of the province threw a sudden burden on the Government, whichbrings us again to the transactions of the present session of the Provincial Counc il. ' Ye find that th eestimated expenditure tor the gooldfields, in the finaaeial (present) year 1805.0, is £1 70,392; the est imatedreceipts are £172,.tOO; aad for the other part of the pro.inee-Expenditure, £t86,039; receipts, £514, 795.Total for gencral account-Expenditure, 6.56,-1-31 ; reecipts, £687,195. Tho ugh thl'se amounts may bemudified, the result will not be wide of the figurcs giyen. •

A rather important proposi tion will be submitted by the Educatio n Commission, viz., the estab lishme nt(of high c!as~ sehool8, ?ndo\\'ed by GO\'l'rnrnent with wllSte l:tnds. It is only song ht to E'stablish one atpresent ; It IS to be m the country, and to be connected With a far m, wh ere farminO' and a O'rieuIturalehemi~try may be t.augoht. 'rhe sehe,?e is looked . on wi t~ f,wour, a nd will probably be br.;'ught intooperatIon. The ~dJustment ~f the c1anns of the varIOus sectIOns of the prOlinee on the gene ra l land fund ,and the constru ction of maehmery for the proper govl'rn men t of the new port ion of th e pro.inee, will both e ehief emploYllll'nt of the Cou.neil t he rem~indor of the session; an cl let us hope at th eir next meetingth e wise measures passed now Willhave borne fmit, and tencled to produce a healthi er state of affairsgenerally than exists at present.

'Ve have been ple!lscd fo watch Hw g-raclual openin g up of another source of indu stry in this pl'Ovinee­namely, th e Can terbury Colliery, on th e R owai. Goocland cheap fuel is sure to giYe an impetus to anynew coun try ; and thi. es.cntial commodity exists , we arc assured,.III the province, to an ex tent little dreamedof. 'l'he workings of lhe above·named Colliery are, under the lhre etion of the propri etor , oondueted on themost approved principles, being well ventilated , and the wat er carri ed 011'by a 'lr i' "e a little abo.e th e waterlevel of the rivl'r. The outlyi ng districts alrea dy reap the admntage of cheap coal. It ha. been sold atthe pit' s mbut h durillg tho whole of the present year at twenty shillings pel' ton. Should th e Railw ay or aTrn~\\'ay be continued from Rolleston Stat ion, on the Sout hern line , to the mines, th en the price of coal inChrIstchurch would be reduced one ·half or more . E very doubt no,v bein O' remo.ed as to th e existence,capacity, and availability of thpse mines, tim e and circumstance will de,elope the resource to the advantage­of the whole commn nity.

' Vhen the buyer is not allowed his eboiee of gIrth in taper tr ees, he miltake the mean dimen sions, eit her by girthing it in the middle for th e mean girth, or by girthing it at U;two ends, and tnking half of their sum. If not, gir th the tree in so ma ny plnee. as is th ought neee,...")then th e sum of the se"eral gi rlhs, di,;ded by th eir nu mber, will give a menn circum ference, the fOIlr'Jpllrt of which being squa red. nnd multiplied by th e len!;th. will gi" e th e sohd contents.

Tbe superficial feet in a board or plank is kn own by mult iplJ ing th e length by tb e breadth. li th,board be tap ering, add the breadth of the two ends togeth er, and tak e half their sum for the mean breadt'and multiply the length by this mean breadth.

The solid contents of squared timber nrc founrl by measuring th e mean brearlth by the mean Lhid.ness, and the produ ct again by th e length. Or multiply tb e square of what is called the quarter girthj,inches by the length in feet , aurl divid e by 141, and you h""e the cont ents in feet.

Boughs, the quarter girth of which is less than 0 inch es, and parts of th e trunk less th an 2 fect j,circumference, are not reckoned as timber.

Ii inch in every foot of quarter girth, or l of the girth, is allowed for bark, except of elm. 1 weh j,the circumference of the tree, or whole girth, 01' one-twelfth of the quarter girth is th e general fair I1VCr:l1'allowance.

The quarter girth is half the sum of th e breadth and depth in the middle.

The nearest approach to truth in the measuring of timber, is to multiply th e _quare of ~ of the girt.cr circumference by double the length, and the product will be the contents.
