TER following information, relating to the regulations and conditions under which land can be purchased or settled upon in Australia and New Zealand will be found useful to the intending emigrant, and also to persons in the Colonies who may be desirous of, taking up land. In the main, it may be considered as a very brief epitome of the Land Act of each Colony. NEW SOUTH WALES. The sale and settlement of land are governed by the Acts No. 1 and 2 of 25 Victoria, 1861, with an amending Land Act (39 Vic., No. 13) which became law in August 1875, and a further Amendment Act of 1880 (43 Vic., No. 29). The Act of 1875 legalized the selection of land by minors up to the date of its coming into force, and thereafter restricts it to persons of sixteen years of age and upwards. It also contains powers to prevent dummyism, and gives concessions to Crown lessees by making additional provisions for selling their improved lands, which it exempts from free selection where the improvements are worth more than £40, or twenty shillings per acre. The first Act affects the sale of lands. By it, after provision has been made for the reservation of suitable sites for devotional, recreational, social, and defence purposes, it enacts that all land belonging to the Crown shall be sold either by conditional sale or without competition. The Crown lands are divided into four classes, viz. :—" Town lands," being those in, or set apart as a site for, any city, town, or village ; " Suburban lands " (declared in the Government Gazette to be such) : "First- Class Settled Districts," and " Second-Class Settled Districts." Town lands and Suburban lands, without improvements, are sold by public auction only, at upset prices of not less than £8 per acre for the former. and £2 for the latter ; the upset price of other Crown lands intended to be sold, without conditions of residence and improvements, being not less than £1 per acre. If no sale be effected at the first auction, the lands may again be put up to auction, and, with the exception of Town and Suburban lands, may in the interim be purchased at the upset price, if not previously withdrawn from sale by the Government. One- fourth of the purchase-money has to be paid at the time of sale, and the remainder within three months. By the plan of " Conditional sale," any one (not being a married woman, or under 16 years of age) may, on certain notified days (which is one fixed day in the week), make to the Land Agent of the district a written application for the conditional purchase of not less than 40, nor more than 640 acres, accompanied by Is deposit of one-fourth of the purchase- money at £1 per acre. He will then be declared the conditional purchaser, unless there be more than one application for the same land, or any part of it, in which case the successful candidate is to be determined by lot. The lands to be selected under this system must, however, not be Town or Suburban lands, nor within a proclaimed gold field, unless unoccupied for gold mining purposes, and must not be within certain distances of towns or villages, varying from 2 to 10 miles, according to the population of the place, nor lands reserved for town sites or other public purposes. At the expiration of three years and three months, the purchaser has the option of paying the balance of the purchase-money (viz., fifteen shillings per acre) and receiving a conveyance in fee, or of paying by instalments of not less than one shilling per acre yearly in advance, within three months after the 1st of January in each year. The purchaser, however, must in either case prove to the satisfaction of the Minister of Public Lands, and make a declaration to the effect, that he has made improvements to the extent and value of six shillings per acre, that he has bond fide resided continuously, on the land, and he is required to continue to reside thereon until the expiration of five years from the date of selection. Within three months after the completion of such five years residence he must make a further declaration to the effect that he has resided for five years, and that improvements to the value of at least ten shillings per acre have been effected on the land. After the conditions of residence and improvements are fulfilled the selector will be at liberty to make afresh selection elsewhere, and he will also be permitted, should he so desire, to transfer his completed purchase. Conditional purchasers may at any time, should there be land available, obtain preemptive leases for grazing purposes and adjoining land to the extent of three times the area of their conditional purchases and at an annual rental of £2 for each section of 640 acres. At the expiration of twelve months residence on the land conditional purchasers are allowed to transfer their selection to any person not being under sixteen years of age, the transferree being bound by the same conditions as the original purchaser. In the event of the legal conditions of residence improve- ments, or non-payment of balance money not being complied with the land and all improVements may become forfeited to the Crown. There are certain other provisions for effecting conditional purchases, under mining conditions (other than gold mining), when the price is to be 40s. an acre, and for determining values and matters in dispute by appraisement and arbitration. Land purchased for mining purposes is paid for by a deposit of ten shillings per acre upon application, a sum equal to £2 per acre being expended on the land. in mining operations. The balance of purchase-money—thirty shillings per acre—is paid under similar arrange- ments to land selected. Residence is not required in connection with land purchased for mining purposes. In 1880 there were sold, town lands 485a. 2r. lip. realizing £4,836 4s. ld., the average price per acre being £17 8s. Od. ; suburban lands, 1,668a. ir. 28p. realizing £7,083 17s. 5d., an average of £4 5s. Od. per acre ; country lands, 346,487a. 3r. realizing £420,035 3s. 4d., an average of £1 4s. 2d. per acre. There were also taken up under the conditional purchase system, 8,583 selections, covering an area of 1,147,001a. 2r. 39p., being an excess of 1,043 selections and 222,866 acres over the conditional purchases of the previous year. From the year 1862 to 1879, inclusive the number of selections, has been 132,746, the total area selected being 14,530,069a. Or. 30p. VICTORIA. The disposal of Crown lands in Victoria has been heretofore regulated by an Act passed on December 29th, 1869, which came into force February 1st, 1870. It expired on December 31st, 1880, but a Continuing and Amending Act was passed in December, 1880. 136 NEW SOUTH WALES.

NEW ZEALAND. THE Colony of NEw ZEALAND, comprising the three islands known as the North, South (or Middle), and Stewart's Island, or, as they are sometimes called, New Ulster, New Munster, and New Leinster, and the adjacent islands, seems, from the best authorities, to have first been discovered and peopled by the Maori race, which still inhabit some parts of the islands, principally the Northern one. Little can be learned from their traditions beyond that they all point to the fact of their having been immigrants, not indigenous, and that when they arrived there were no human beings in the country. Similarity of language indicates a northern origin, probably Malay ; for when Cook first visited New Zealand he availed himself of the aid of 'a native of Tahiti, whose language proved to be similar, if not altogether identical, with that of the New Zealanders. The first European who made the existence of New Zealand known to the civilized world was Captain Abel Jansen Tasman, the Dutch navigator, who visited it in 1642, and gave it the name of Nova Zeelanda. This occurred on the same voyage when Van Dieman's Land was discovered. It has been claimed for other explorers that they had found it earlier, but the evidence is not sufficient to substantiate the claims of any of them. Tasman did not land on any part of the islands, but having had a boat's crew cut off by the natives in what be then called Massacre Bay, he was content to sail along the west coast of the North Island, naming the more prominent head- lands and bays—some of which retain their names to this day, and left its shores without having gone through the form of taking possession in the name of the Government he served—a formality which would have entitled the Dutch to call New Zealand theirs. From the time of Tasman's visit, no European is known to have visited the islands until 1769, when Captain Cook landed on them in the first of his great voyages. After a run of eighty-six days from Tahiti, having touched at some other places, he sighted the coast of New Zealand, on the 6th October, 1769, and on the 8th landed at Poverty Bay, on the east coast of the North Island, near what is now the township of Gisborne, and some distance north-east of Napier, the capital of the province. The circumstances of Cook's first landing were unfortunate. " We landed," be says, " abreast of the ship, on the east side of the river, which was here about forty yards broad, but seeing some natives on the west side, with whom I wished to speak, and finding the river not fordable, I ordered the yawl to carry us over, and left the pinnace at the entrance. When we came near the place were the people were assembled they all ran away ; however, we landed, and leaving some boys to take care of the yawl, we walked up to some huts, which were about 200 to 300 yards from the waterside. When we had got some distance from the boat, four men, armed with long lances, rushed out of the woods, and running up to attack the boat would certainly have cut her off if the people in the pinnace had not dis- covered them, and called to the boys to drop down the stream. The boys instantly obeyed, but being closely pursued, the coxswain of the pinnace, who had charge of the boats, fired a musket over their heads. At this they stopped and looked round them, but in a few minutes renewed the pursuit, brandishing their lances in a threatening manner. The coxswain then fired a second musket over their heads, but of this they took no notice ; but one of them lifting up his spear to dart it at the boat, another piece was fired, which shot him dead. When he fell the other three stood motionless, as if petrified with astonishment. As soon as they recovered they went back, dragging the dead body, which, however, they soon left, that it might not encumber their flight. At the report of the musket we drew together, having straggled to a little distance from each other, and made the best of our way back to the boat, and crossing the river we saw the native lying dead on the ground." The account which the natives themselves give of their impressions of Cook's arrival is recorded by Mr. Polack, who had it from the mouths of their children in 1836. " They took the ship at first for a gigantic bird, and were struck with the beauty and size of its wings, as they supposed the sails to be. But on seeing a smaller bird, unfledged, descending into the water, and a number of parti-coloured beings, apparently in human shape, the bird was regarded as a houseful of divinities. Nothing could exceed their astonishment. The sudden death of their chief (it proved to be their great fighting general) was regarded as a thunder bolt of these new gods. To revenge themselves was the dearest wish of the tribe, but how to accomplish it with divinities who could kill them at a distance was difficult to determine." It is not much to be wondered at, that any further intercourse with the natives at this point should become impossible ; and after other collisions, attended with similar fatal results, on the 11th Cook weighed anchor and left " this unfortunate and inhospitable place," as he calls it, and on which he bestowed the name of Poverty Bay, " as it did not afford a single article they wanted, except a little firewood." He soon, however, discovered that the country was not all made up of " Poverty Bays ; " nor were the natives, when wooed with a less rough courtship, altogether incapable of access, or obnoxious to strangers. In Tolago Bv., Mercury Bay, Hawke's Bay, the Bay of Plenty, the estuary of the Thames, the harbour of Waitemata, in Whangarei, at the Bay of Islands, and lastly, at his favourite rendezvous of Queen Charlotte's Sound, he was able to procure the refresh- 536 FIJI ISLANDS.
CONSTITUTION. —Fiji is a Crown colony, the affairs of which are administered by a Governor and Executive Council. The laws are prepared by a Legislative Council of thirteen members, of whom seven are official and six nominee. In legal matters the Imperial laws are followed, except where there has been local legislation. The natives have a measure of local self-government, their ow n arrangements as regards village and district councils being recognized. Theie are twelve salaried superior native chiefs exercising executive functions under the Government, and also twenty six native magistrates. THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT has lately been changed from Levuka to Suva. The former merely covers an area of about 40 acres, and the hills around it are so steep that the extension of the town could only be accomplished by either terracing the rocky mountain spurs or reclaim- ing land from the sea. In addition, there arc difficulties in carrying out an efficient system of drainage, or obtaining a good water-supply. Suva, on the other hand, possesses many advantages ; it is situated on the south coast of the Island of Viti Levu, the largest and most populous island in the archipelago, which has a ery fine rivers, some being navigable for a considerable distance. The harbour is an excellent one, more landlocked than that of Levuka, spacious, free from shoals, well sheltered, and w ith good holding ground, easy of ingress and egress. Suva is, geographically and in other ways, thought to be a much more suitable spot than Levuka for the capital. The town is said to be not so well laid out as it might have been, and the water supply is far from good. The principal thoroughfare in Sue a is Victoria Parade, which is nearly a mile in length. It is entirely constructed of soapstone, and raised about three feet above the natural level of the low lying flat that st, etches back from the beach. Several store, places of business, and cottages have already been erected. It has also a customs store and offices and a coolie hospital. Among the new buildings projected or erecting are the Government offices, the Supreme Court-house, the gaol, and others. Hotels : the Royal Mail, a two-storied building of iron, and the Suva. A masonic hall and athenaeum are being initiated.

NEW GUINEA. THE vast island of PAPUA, or, as it is now called, NEW GUINEA, has been brought into prominent notice from the numerous expeditions and gold-prospecting parties that have of late visited it ; and the strong probability there was a short time back of its being colonized by Australians, and the ultimate annexation of the eastern half of the island to the British Crown. To the miner, its reported auriferous qualities have had a special attraction ; to the naturalist and explorer, its vast tracts of unknown country and rich stores of novelties in the animal and vegetable kingdoms have proved to be powerfully magnetic ; while to the missionary its hordes of inhabitants, wrapped in the densest ignorance, offer a field of great-promise for the introduction of the blessings of Christianity and the advantages of civilization. The earliest record of the island dates back as far as A.D. 1526, w hen Don 'Jorge de Menenis, a Portuguese navigator, narrates how, in making a voyage from Malacca to the Moluccas, being driven somewhat out of his course, he accidentally sighted land, and making for it, landed and remained there a month. This land, supposed to be the mainland of New Guinea, he called Papua, a word which means, according to some philologists, "black," and according to others, "curled hair," either of which meanings, however, will suit the inhabitants. Two years after this, A.D. 1528, another Portuguese, Alvarez de Saavedra, landed on its shores, and although he did not, so far as is recorded, penetrate inland, he called it by the high-sounding title of " Isla del Oro," from the idea which he formed of its abounding in gold. In 1545 a Spanish mariner, named Ynigo Ortiz de Retz, also voyaging to the Moluccas, sailed 250 miles along its northern coast, and gave it the name of Nueva Guinea, from some resemblance, or fancied resemblance, it bore to the Guinea Coast on the west of Africa. In 1606, Luis Vaez de Torres in the sloop Almiranta, sailed 300 miles along the east coast, and doubled the South-East Point, continuing his voyage for some distance along the south, and landing in several places. He describes the natives as dark in colour, naked except having some kind of clothing round the middle, and armed with clubs and darts ornamented with tufts of feathers. In 1616 Schouten visited the country in the Dutch ship Unity, and discovered one large, and several smaller volcanoes, or, as he describes them, burning mountains. He also landed and found abundance of cocoanuts growing in the forests that bordered the sea-shore. In 1643 Abel Tasman explored some portion of the coast. In 1699, Dampier, in the Roebuck, circumnavigated the Island. On landing he met with considerable resistance ; the natives using as arms, clubs, spears, and hollow sticks, probably canes, from which they threw fire at their opponents. From his description this missile seems to have been something in the nature of gunpowder, and led other voyagers to imagine that they were supplied with, and understood the use of, firearms. It has been surmised that this a as lime which they used to throw into the faces of their enemies in order to blind them, but this explanation does not account for the presence of fire. In 1767 was visited by Philip Carteret, by whom the channel Ni hick separates it from New Britain was named. In June, 1768, the French vessels La Roudeuse and L' Etoile, under the command of M. de Bougainville, sailed along the southern and eastern coast. In 1770 Cook sailed along the coast, and confirmed the statement of its disconnection from the continent of New Holland. He was met with decided hostility from the natives. There were several visitors after this, amongst others Captain Edwards, in the Pandora, in 1791, Bampton in 1793, and Blackwood. in 1845, but little or no further information relative to the place was given until Stanley, in H.M.S. Rattlesnake, ran along the coast, and made a rough survey of a portion of it. In doing BO, he marked off one mountain which he estimated at 13,205 feet in height, and fifteen others, eight of which reached an altitude of over 7,000 feet. He describes the coast natives as living in huts built on stages, constructed on piles, for the purpose, as he supposed, of preventing the attacks of snakes and other venomous reptiles. The aborigines, he says, were tolerably friendly, and ready to barter. The use of firearms they did not understand, at first imagining the muskets of the party to be utensils for carrying water. The length of the island he estimated to be about 1,200 miles, and its breadth about 150 miles. In common with all others who had visited it, he describes the country to be a most magnificent one, growing profusely the most valuable products of the Moluccas. The earliest attempt at settlement in New Guinea by Europeans of which there is any record was made by Captain Steenboom, of the Dutch ship Triton, who in 1823 took possession, in the name of the Dutch Government, of all the territory from 141' E. long. westward to the sea. He built a fort at a place he called Triton Bay in the NW., the scenery around which was very beautiful ; but the rankness of the vegetation caused the place to be so unhealthy that, after a few years, the settlement had to be abandoned. In 1835 the commander of another Dutch ship surveyed what was then called the River Doorga, finding it to be a strait 90 miles long, separating Frederick Henry Island from the SW. mainland. The first practical effort, however, made on a comprehensive scale, towards the colonization of New (Wines, was the formation of a provisional company in Sydney in 1864.
