HIS EXCELLENCY'S VISIT,

NEWCASTLE.

This day.

The Governor arrived here at 6.15, after dark An arch was erected on the river and guard of honor of Datives was stationed at Taupiri, under Sub-Inspector Tregear. He will meet the natives and receive the settlers to-morrow. A guard of honor of Constabu lary and Engineers was formed at Nga- The Governor met the friendly natives this morning A large number was present. No rebels (acknowledged). The usual speeches of welcome were very little worth. A large number of settlers were present. Bis Excellency delivered an eloquent ad dress, and said if rebels desire to continue isolated he did not desire to drag them from it. He illustrated their probable future by a' metaphor—" So surely as this great river spreads to the sea so surely will Christianity and civilization spread. Ifc is better to live on its bank than be carried away by the current." As re gards the land question, he said he would use the word of a patriarch, "Is not the land before us, then let there b« no strife between ye and me?" He was very sorry for the divisions between the natives, and he would like to see the good results of civilization extended through the whole Maori people. You who-are loyal know you have many advantages not enjoyed by others. The following address was presented by Major Jackson, M.H.R., on behalf of settlers: — "The Representatives of the several districts of the Waikato assembled at Ngaruawahia are deshous of welcoming your Excellency on this your first visit to Waikato. They are convinced that native affairs must be judiciously administered, otherwise the vast expenditure contemplated on public works will prove of comparatively little benefit. They thank your Excellency for the dignified position you have assumed towards those natives who still refuse to submit to the authority of the Queen," etc. The Governor, in reply, said he was grati fied at the reception. Many had come at in convenience and trouble to welcome him. It was his first visit, but he was not surprised at the reference to native affairs. The settlers had undergone considerable risk of property if not'Hi person. The colonists had to look to them to save them from much risk by tem perate conduct. He was glad they appreciated his attitude towards the natives. He had acted trader advice which he thought wise and judicious. The Governor and party have just left for Cambridge.
