I fi fovernment don't say that natives 1 \ not sell, but that if they wish I s0 the Goverment will buy. I '.f persons sometimes give more for I V l' jjjocks, but they do not purchase the I ' tainoiis and bad pieces. As the result of IMb persons buying, he points to the I fu. 6 \ Snllivan, and says had land been ;.f X j.j, c hands of the Government his f I jJlrLnld not have been shed.

He denies git be is making a wrong survey at Piako, J blames Taipara for not setting matters At at the meeting, especially as he is a paid idjait of the Government. Mr Mackay totclodes by stating that the letter is written it interpretation, so that the natives may ujeretand his movements. It is generally understood that a few utires at Shoitland are trying hard to pre wt the country from being opened, but till not succeed. Ohinemuri correspondent rrites tbat the Kiriwii hapu has gone over feii land accounts with Mr. Mackay BJcertin'ed to them. Others follow, and (kthsiness is expected to close next week, italhe whole of the natives will be sum ml to attend a meeting. Some natives tafit until yesterday, that the Waikawau Mwuld cover the claims of the Govern- B^ainst them, but were soon undeceived rienirMaekay told them that block that rai/only be a3 one potato in a kit. The Hires now want to compromise and open tie country on the terms agreed on when HeThames was opened, viz., flat lands to be reserved and miners rights handed over after Jekting amount due for cash and goods tranced. The Government are not likely iaagree to this. Mr, McLean is expected at Tauranga on Friday, and will probably visit Ohinemuri Kit week. A firm in Auckland offer to build an iron ittamer for the Thames trade, guaranteed tpeed of seventeen knots, and take the ilarcs in any company floated by Thames importers who will co-operate. The people ira now complaining of the delay in getting foods, The Advertiser says the Superintendent tti Mr. Sheehan's trip is absurd in the lighest degree. It hopes they will go, and points out that the delegated power over the pMfields will then be taken by the General Cweniment. There is a general howl of indignation about the affair here.

GOVERNMENT EXERCISE OF PATRONAGE.

WELLINGTON. (From our own Correspondent.)

~ , _, .. , This day. Madame Goddard will arrive in Auckland about the 10th of December. MrHalcombe, manager of the Fieldin* block hauls the editor of the Post over the coals for his stataments regarding the treat ment of Government immigrants, per Doug las, at Foxton. Mr Hakombe denies all the insinuations and «harpes made, and says it is not the first time he has been compelled to give that journal the lie direct. The editor retaliates by heaping live coals of sarcasm on the head of Mr Halcombe, and sticks to all he stated before ; also twits him about sanc tioning the opening cf a public house at Fielding.

The next mayoralty election is exercising the minds of a great many. The latest move II « Ji n. g a multiPlicity of candidates into the held m the hope of getting a new man. An old Wellington settler who has come out a second time in the Star of India de scribes the Government immigrants as a fine well-behaved body. It is wonderful what becomes of all the new arrivals. There are no idlers in town, and no unemployed are to be seen in the country districts. The Court of Appeal business, so far, is only of local interest.

The Post condemns the mode in which the Government have conducted their investiga tions into the working of the Friendly Societies by entrusting the work to a young man named C. G. Knight, who has no actuarial experience, save what he picked ixpin the service. He says he got £300 as bonus for the work. The article concludes as follows : —" In addition to this, and to enable Mr Knight to qualify himself for duties, the performance of which he has undertaken for the past year or two, the Government has sent him home to study as actuary and pass the Institute of Actuaries. Mr Knight of course continues to draw full pay, and all his expenses are borne by the Government. We need not comment on the facts we have stated."

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

This day. Mr. Steward met his constituents last night at the Volunteer Hall. About two hundred and tifty were present. He spoke two hours, and reviewed the legislation of the Assembly, and the proposed political changes. He said the members of the As sembly with the exception of a few connected Tvith provincial institutions were convinced that the abolition of provincialism in the North Island was necessary to the progress of the colony. He believed if a satisfactory machinery of local government were sub stituted, the time would soon arrive that Canterbury and Otago would ask for its extension to the Middle Island Nelson, Marlborough, and Westland already

Weire for a change. A resolution of thanks, and an entire vote c* confidence was passed unanimously, as also the following resolu tion :— ■" That this meeting is of opinion that the time has arrived for the aboliiion of pro vincialism in the North Island, and the sub stitution thereof of a less costly system of Government, securing the expenditure of the local revenue (after deducting colonial charges), in the districts in which it is raised. And it is further of opinion that the abolition of the provinces and the substitution of local government with the local expenditure of local revenues, should be extended to the Middle Island as coon as practicable."

NAPIER.

(Per Anglo-Australian |Telegram Company.) This day. A meeting of the creditors of Stuart and Co., merchants, was held. The liabilities were stated to be £41,000 and the assets £42.000.

Stuart (of Wellington), that on condition of the credi tors handing over the entire assets of the estate, they would offer a conipositionflof 15s in the £ ; one-fourth cash, the balance at three, six, and nine months, with interest at

six per cent. [Before accepting the offer the creditors desired to have the accounts and papers gone through, to see if the full amount could not be realized, Messrs T. 11, Newton, J. G. Kinnoss, B. Sutton, It. Maney, H. C. Robjohns were appointed a committee to report to the adjourned meeting on Monday. There is a strong feeling that the estate should pay 20s in tbe pound. A public meeting is convened for the 20th instant, to take into consideration the present position of the Jockey Club in this province with a view to make the annual races now satisfactory to owners of horses and to the public than lately.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT.— INQUEST.

An inquest was held to-day, before Dr Philson, Coroner, at two o'clock, at the residence of Mr Walter Graham, Bemnera, on the body of Mr George Graham, who met his death under circumstances detailed yesterday. Mrs Graham's evidence was to the effect that the deceased gentleman, her husband, had been to one of the out-houses in the yard, yesterday forenoon. Sho went out to see where he was, and observed him walking across the yard. She proceeded towards the house, and on looking round saw him lift up the well lid and instantly fall in. She screamed for help, and Mr Sutton, who lives in a house adjoining, ran in and gave assistance, and also to procure other aid. The water was low at the time, about 25 feet from the surface. Only a few minutes elapsed before he was extricated. He had been suffering for some few days from pain and giddiness in the head. That morning he was in his usual health. He was only staying at Remuera temporarily, and hoped to return in a few days to town.

Mr Sutton and Dr Stockwell gave corro borative evidence. When the doctor arrived Mr Graham was quite dead. The?jury after a short consultation returned a verdict of accidental death.

NORTH SHORE ROWING CLUB.

An enthusiastic and well attended meeting was held last night at the Masonic Hotel, North Shore, for the pui-pose of forming a Rowing Club for that district. We may commence by stating that the proposition was eagerly received and acted upon. Tha names of the greater part of those present smacked strongly of the " briny " nearly all of them being identified with the shipping interests of the port, Niccol, Burgess, Duder, Dacre, Marshall, Nolan, Henderson, are names carrying weight in athletic coun cils, and victory in many a contest. All were here represented with many others nearly as potent. Malcolm Niccol, Esq., was voted to the chair, and opened the proceed ings in a business-like manner. Mr Cameron moved and Mr H. Niccol seconded the first resolution, which was as follows : " That a Club to be called the North Shore Eowing Club be formed." This was carried with acclamation. The following officers were then elected for the present season :— President, Mr J. B. Russell; vice-president, Mr M. Niccol; captain, Mr G. H. Fletcher ; secretary, Mr R. H. Nolan; treasurer, Mr W. Cameron. Committee, Messrs T. JNiccol, Cochrane, Hill, Alison, Thorne. After a short discussion the subscription of members was fixed at £1 per annum, with an entrance fee of the same. Nearly twenty gentlemen gave in their names as members of the Club. An adjournment was at this point agreed upon till the 19th instant, to enable the committee to bring up a code of rules, &c, for general consideration.

A LIVELY COUNTRY.

The little island of Niceros, in the Grecian Archipelago, is suffering under a constant supply of boiling water. Some months ago the inhabitants were seriously annoyed by a series of earthquakes, which did much damage, and culminated in the bursting open of the summit of the highest peak in the island, and a flood of steam and boiling water, which at one time led to the appre hension that not only would the whole island be destroyed, but every living crea ture contained in it. The mountain, how ever, suddenly ceased to boil over, and it was hoped that for some years at least there would be no recurrence of this dis agreeable phenomenon. These hopes were un fortunately dissipated the other day when the mountain resumed its objectionable practices and emitted such volumes of boiling water that the position of the island has become almost unbearable. To add to their discom fort, the ground is convulsed wfth earth

quakes, and at the date of the latest advices the people hadtaken to the open fields where they were safer than in their tottering houses. A scarcity of provisiens is added to their other troubles, and, without house?, without food, and with the prospect of being either scalded or starved to death, the condition of the good people of Eiceros is at the present time by no means enviable.
