VISIT OF DR. POLLEN AND MR, MACKAY.

GREAT MEETING OF NATIVES

i"_"KOJi OUR OWN COBEESPONttJSNT.I

November 9. 'On Monday last M "uckey, native agent for this district, vis cd Roberts' settlement, but returned the following morning, without transacting any business of a public nature, so far as lam informed. On Tuesday evening, near midnight, Dr. Pollen and Mm Mackay arrived, and on Wednesday and to-day we have had great meetings of the native-, rela tive to tha long debated question as to whether the telegraph wire should, or should not be joined in from the two ends—Katikati and Shortland. Up to this afternoon, nothing appeared more improbable than that the natives would concede this point. As I ad vised you in a former despatch, a willing ness had been expressed to allow it to run by way of the East Coast. Ac that time I stated my conviction that while the line would be longer and much more costly in construction, it would not be so available for this country whenever it should be opened. A very angry discussion has been continued here amongst, the nati.es themselves since the last visit of Dr. Pollen, a discussion which at one time v C \ y seriously threatened to end in a general fight. The principal owner of the land through which the wire would pass by way of the East Coast, it was well known here, had placed the matter in Mr. Mackay's hands to be dealt with at his discretion. On finding this the Eiriweras declared they would make it a cause of fight, iug with Wiremu Unahi, the chief in question Fortunately Mr. Mackay has set this matter at rest, and if the public will not thank Dr. Pollen, we, at least, who are residents of the district, will do so, for his having come here and, by his presence as representative of the General Government, aided Mr. Mackay in bringing the whole matter to a satisfactory issue. The result of to-day's meeting was that all opposition was withdrawn, and that telegraphic communication can now be continuous between Auckland and Wel lington so soon as the Government shall think fit to carry out the work. I hope, however, that this is but the first, step to the opening up of what I am inclined to believe will be even a yreater goldfield than tho Lower Thames. Probably in a short time the country itself may be thrown open, if the General Government does not interfere to prevent it. I observ* an enquiry in your weekly issue as to the state of the native peach groves. All that I have had an opportunity of examining are in the most healthy and satisfactory state- I have watched closely to see whether the little blight bird or the furiously stormy weather which we have had during the winter in any way affected the blossom, but I could not see that they have done so. Those whom tke subject interests, however, must recollect t at I am speaking of ungrafted peach trees, and not grafted ones, and trees that are neither dng about nor in any way pruned, al lough several pruned trees are quite as heavily loaded with fruit as the uupruned ones. Of news of any other sort have not a single line.— Herald.

BANE OF NEW ZEALAND AND ITS

COUNTRY CUSTOMERB. To the Editor of the Stab.

Sir,—lt is the custom of the Bank of New Zealand to charge one shilling upon every cheque drawn on any of their branch offices, in districts where no other bank carries on operations. As this must be a serious loss to the country settler.--, I am beyond measure surprised that they have not long ere this protested against tho imposition of so unfair a charge, and one so detrimental to their interests. If the bunk's customers would express their opinions and witihes in this matter plainly, no doubt !he concession would be at once made.—l am, &o ,

THE CITY PAVING.

To the Kditor of the EVENING S?TAR.

,*- it:,- I do not endorse tlie whole of your I,iiidii'i. article of Saturday, yet, that, true as ',. ;ii ,■ paying is preferalile to the white stone „„,, i. • ,r used, a very short time will testify. \\ i-! rij I "do hope that some sensible tii : . i- wiil bring this subject before the C'i-n ;1 »t no early date," " that we may see wh -• !>re li O'-o idea men." The sophistry ustu ■■■.' i • pi.t J lie tax of a stone-paving upon (lie occupiers and owners of houses v.here it is to b_ done would be amusing were it not that they wili have to pay for it. The fact that it is a tax, the amount of which, if properly understood, would rai<o a storm of no small dimensions. It will to some properties (which will receive little or no benefit) be equal to one-fifth of the annual rental. When 1 find persons almost rabid on this one so-called im provement, and at the same time so apathetic to all other sanitary measures, which would to a certainty be to the benefit of all, I am very sceptical as to the purity of their motives, but not of their assurance. I find them ready to form gas companies, water companies, _c., but that which is of far more importance to all who value decency, health, and comfort, they are (for all practical purposes) totally indiffe rent and careless. " They cannot see it will pay them." —I am, &c, Obsebvek.

t\ISTEICT ORDERS. Militia and Volunteer Office, Auckland, November 10,1871. The Officer Commanding the District takes the earliest opportunity of recording and publishing in District Orders his approbation of the manner in which the Brigade manoeuvres of yesterday were per formed by every b.-anch of the Volunteer Force. The "march past" of the several Corps v.as almost unexceptionable, indeed, that of the Engineers and the two Companies Grammar School Cadets was quite so. The field movements were admirably executed, and reflect the greatest credit, as well upon the Office.-s Commanding Troops, Companies, and Batta lions, as upon the Non-commissioned Officers and Rank and File. . , The Ca,dets of the District deserve especial praise for their steadiness and soldier-like bearirg on this their first field-day. The Battery of Artillery likewise claim , favourable remark for the quiet and orderly manner in which all orders were anticipated, and its field guns invariably found in their proper positions, at the proper moment. -■ There were, however, brought under the observation of the Commanding Officer two points, and two only, i during the proceedings of yesterday, to which he feels I assured he has but to direct the attention of Officers commanding Troops and Companies, which are, fl-stly, that roanv of their men require careful instruc tion in the Platoon exercise, and, secondly, they per mit their men, in many instances, to wear their chin straps on the back of their heads instead of in the proper place. These defects, however, were observed to exist chiefly in connection with those who may be termed Sedentary Volunteers-men who (and their number is unfortunately large), exhibit themselves on parade on rare and exceptional occasions only, and, therefore, detract very much from the steadiness and smart appearance of those who are habitually present. On the whole, however, the Commanding Officer congratulates the Volunteer Force of the District on its present serviceable and very creditable appearance for which all ranks are entitled, by their exertions, attention to drill, and submission to discipline, to eveir commendation. WM. GORDON, Major, Commanding Auckland District. A UCKLAND RIFLE BRIGADE. RBGIMENTAL ORDERS.
