Despatch from Governor Sir George Grey to Earl Grey.

Mr. Lord,—

I have the honor to transmit, for your Lordship's information, the copy of a report describing the character and capabilities of the southern portion of the Province of New Munster, as observed in the recent cruise of Her Majesty's ship "Acheron." This report is drawn up by Captain J. L. Stokes, R.N., and was addressed by that officer to the Lieutenant-Governor of New Munster.
