CAMBRIDGE.

- This day. Mr William {Bucltland arrived Here last " Aight overland from Napier. Mr Sheath leaves for Aucklaud to-day to anake arrangements for the new line of tele graph along the frontier. I have received the following reliable in .formation regarding Mr Mackay's meeting with Rewi on Saturday :—Rewi said the King has not answered the Government's demands ;" that the letter he wrote to Mr Mackay.was not a reply to them. That he declined to answer any questions which arise from acts of the Waikatos and people not belonging to his own tribe. He was merely the medium of com munication between Mr Mackay and the King. H.e had expressed his own views, whichwf j.re thatthemurderers should be given up. He and the Waikatos disagreed on that point, aM jj e intended to live at Te Kopua and Cultivate.

' Piewi said he had sent three messengers t'j Purukutu, and the King had sent two. If he continues to refuse to go to Tokanga mufcu the King will leave him to his own resources.

Rewi said that it was a mistake in sayiog that all the land at Kawhia belongs to Rewi and Ngatimaniapotos. The Waikatos have a considerable extent there. The country at Tokangamutu ?;nd south of confiscated line belongs to Rewi and Ngamaniapoto. Rewi is connected also with the Ngatirau kawa, and is interested in their lands. He has sent word to them to remain quiet. From another source I learn that unless Purukutu gives himself up in a few days Rewi will send a party to bring him in, and will hand him over to the Government.

Te Wheora's men are still camped here,

Sunday. A very successful dinner was given to the Cambridge Cavalry on Saturday night atthe Duke of Edinburgh Hotel. Mr Mackay was present.

Th.c chief toast was the health of Mr Mackay, which was proposed by Major Ja-ckson.

Mr Mackay, in responding, said that he 'was quite in accord with the Defence Minister regarding the steps which should be taken during the present crisis. He still'had hope that the murderers would be given up. Both Rewi and Tawhiao had sent for Purukutu to go to Te Kuiti, but perhaps with ■different intentions towards him. Rewi had said to the King, " You give up that man or I will hand myself over to the Government." .He (Mr Mackay) had just returned from a visit to Rewi at Kopua, and he was well satis fied with the intervew. Rewi said that so long as the fighting was carried on by pake has he would not interfere; but if natives of other tribes wp- re employed he might have to join in re- d ' ls ti n g.™He (Mr Mackay) hoped the mur'i erer g wouM be handed over without recourse to war, which would be best. But itc was the duty of every man to uphold the law, and if war did occur it should be made the last for the Maoris, so that the Queen's writ should afterwards run without interrup tion through the land. The health of Te Wheoro and the native contingent was drunk, and he responded in ai very excellent speech which was well re ceived.

Mr Mackay has gone to Ngaruawahia in compliance with a request from the settlers, and will construct a redoubt there if neces sary. A telegram received by the Defence Minis ter in Wellington says that Purukutu is re ported to have only seven men with him, but that seventy will join him if attacked.

This day, 10 a.m. A man named John Bruce, living at Tararu, came to the Albion Hotel at an early hour on Sunday morning. He said he had gone to bed the previous night drunk, and was awakened by severe blows on the head with a bill-hook. When he became conscious he found that he was lying on the floor covered with blood, and Vi-the whole room was in confusion, as if a t scuffle had taken place.
