New ZEALAND. The extent of New
Zealand has been variously estimated. The
distance between the North aud South
Capcs is about 500 miies-thc greatest
breadth of the northern island, which is the
wider OF the two, is about 800 miles. di-
mlnshng to 200 and 100, and to greatly
less toward the northern extremity, at one
point, distant about 100 miles from the
North Cape, thesc Is an isthmus OF not more
'hah three mics across. Ey the latest it
Is behevcd, the most accurate accounts the
area OF the nCihcrn island is computed at
$1,000 English square miles. while that of
the southern lstand-of which Stewards is
land may be considered an app, ,ndarc-is
considerably more than onc-th!rd Iargcr
The extent Of the two islands, it is tho,luht.
must be, at least 5000 English square
miles, or about 80 millions Of square acres
The voyage rom Britain to New Zealand
although tn" distance is greater than Svd-
ncy, occupies about the same length oftimc
IN consequence of the prevalent state of the
winds; while, III returning to Britain, the
voyage from New Zealand is, of course
shorter than the voyage from Sydney by the
distance between the two places, or about
1900 miles
