We also heard that a small lot of wool from this 
country, but whether from Mana or the missionary 
farms in the north was not ascertained, had been 
greatly approved of, and bought at an unusually high 
price. 
The Directors of the Company signified to their 
principal agent their earnest wish that the town 
founded on the shores of Lambton Harbour might be 
named after the Duke of Wellington, in order to com- 
memorate the important support which his Grace had 
lent to the cause of colonization in general, and more 
particularly to those principles of colonization by 
which these settlements were guided, by his strenuous 
and successful defence against its enemies of the mea- 
sure for colonizing South Australia. The settlers took 
up the view of the Directors with great cordiality, and 
the new name was at once adopted. The newspa|)er 
now took the final title of the * New Zealand Gazette 
* and Wellington Spectator.' 
On the 27th of November I made another trip to 
TVanganid in the schooner, and returned on the 14th 
of December.
