GREAT NATIVE MEETING AT THE MIRANDA.

Pettakaiions are now going on for a great native meeting at the Thames, on the shore of the Fiith,' nearly opposite Shortland, and ip the vicinity of the Miranda. This meeting is likely to be the largest that has been^ held in the North Island since the great gathering at Eemuera after the signing of the treaty of Waitangi. It is expected that upwards of three thou sand natives will be present, including over two hundred from the king country. The meeting is promoted chiefly by the Ngati pouas, Ngatiwbanaugas, and the Upper Thames tribes, but contributions have been received from the Ngapuhis in the North, including two tons of dried fish which were sent down on Saturday. The place of meeting has been chosen on account of its proximity to flax land, affording shelter, and also because of the large quantities of shell fish obtainable from the beach in the vicinity. As a preliminary the women of the various tribes" have been Bhipped to make the necessary preparations, the erection of tents, manufacture of kits, drying of fish, etc. One hundred tons of flour and fifty tons of sugar, in addition to grog, fish, and other regular Maori fare, are already on the ground. The chief object of the meeting, like other similar gatherings, is of course feasting and a re-nnipn to break the monotony or Maori everyday life, but some matters of im portance are likely to come up for discus sion—the sale of lands at the Upper Thames being among the number. Baron Charles De Thierry, P.G.D., R.W., G.T., in com pliance with an invitation intends to avail himself of the opportunity for explaining the principles of Good Templary, and establish ing Maori lodges. The meeting;, which is likely to prove an interesting one, com mences early this month.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

[FROM OUP/LONDON COIiBESrONDENT.] London, April. LITEBATITRE RELATING TO NEW ZEALAND. An addition to the literature bearing upon the colony has lately appeared in "Maori," by Captain J. C. Johnstone, Bengal Army, published by Chapman and Hall. It is <;a sketch" of the manners and customs of the aboriginal inhabitants of New Zealand, and is decidedly readable. Captain Johnstone is rather rongh on the pakeha and the rum bottle, not without some cause it must be admitted, but he is rather too enthusiastic about the high moral virtues of the Maori before the arrival of the white man. MISSIONS TO NEW GUINEA. The London Missionary Society is to be represented in the seas round the coasts of New Guinea by a steam yacht which has already sailed for the regions. One is always glad to hear, of such movements, because apart from the actual results of mission work in these darkest of pagan countries, it is in dubitable that a vast amount of moral in fluence is thereby "brought to bear upon the white as well as black inhabitants of these strange lands. We know that the white folks are, sad to say, often the worst of the two ; that when they find themselves far re moved fronrany authority to which they can be accountable they are of ten apt to relapse into a condition of refined depravity which their ignorant dark coloured friends are quite unable to approach. Hence these far off missions, if they do not make great advances in proselytising are at any rate quietly doing valuable service in preventing much misery and wickedness of a palpable kind. The ,\ta ,el in question is fitted for both river and service. She has a screw propeller, and ' 8■» been constructed by Messrs Jackson and Watkina, of Millwall. LIFE OF NAPOLEON. Blancbard Jerrold is writing the life of Napoleon the Third, and is being assisted in the work by the widow and executors of the late Emperor. Two volumes are to appear in autumn and two next spring. A more interesting subject it would be difficult to find, and although Jerrold was a Republican he seems to have been converted to an Imperialist for the nonce for his admiration for the late Emperor and his rule seems to be absolutely unbounded. \\ H ACTION AGAINST EITTJALISTB. „At last the Archbishops are beginning to think of making themselves useful. This is a comfort, for they have hitherto been draw ing very comfortable salaries, and all that the nation has seen for it has been a series of excellent dinners and good carriage horses; bttfi.then it was felt that any one might have done the same who had the same chances, and. that something rather more pronounced was to be looked for from the holder of the Archipiscopal office. However, after a .great' deal "; of talking and threatening Within and without, Ebor and Oantuar have decided upon bringing in a bill to alter the lay1 relating to church matters, to- enable them, if occasion demands it, to put a Btop to thoße disagreeable practices known as Ritualistic, without those Jong tedious and expensive processes hitherto in vogue. It is high t j me tnat S ome step of tne kind was taken, for it is monstrous that **«. "Brown young jackass from one or the universities should have the power to enter upon the cure of a parish, and at once, in spite of his congregation and bishop, to turn lUe worship of God into a species of mas querade or puppet show.

THE IMMIGRANTS.

The newly-arrived immigrants-were landed from the Etooparell this morning, the p.s. Takapuna bringing them ashore in three tops. The proportion ©f children, 104 out of 370, is very large. The general appearance' or. the men is favorable. : Most of them* are strong and hearty, and appear used to hard work. The girl* do not look! so robust as others wlo have arrived, but there is not much to ttike exception to. Taken as a whole the Rooparell's immigrants are the most mixed lot we have yet seen. They are of aU nationalities', English, Irish, Scotch,- French, German, Italian, and Dutch have representatives among, the number. Should the accommodation at the Barracks be in sufficient for all, the Provincial authorities have received power from the General Govern-: ment to hire cottages for those who cannot find room. The scene in Queen-street this morning, at the landing of so many new comers, was very animated. We were sorry to see so many of the women repair to the public-houses to begin with. A child named Hannah Watts, aged 16 months, died on board last night of dentition and cerebral effusion.

FIJI.

SHOCKING MURDP;R AND SUFFER

INGS OF A BOAT'S CHEW,

FIGHT WITH THE NATIVES

The news by the Star of the South from Fiji is unimportant. The residents are anxiously expecting news of annexation.— The Fiji Times has an article advocating the formation of another Planters' Association. — A rumour is current at Ba that the Govern ment troops defeated the mountaineers of Viti Levu, and that five towns were taken with a loss of only two killed and four wounded. The mountaineers lost eighty.—The German war ship Acona sailed on Sunday, the 17th. —The German claims were submitted to the Commander, and will be forwarded to the Emperor.—A ball was given to the officers the day before the departure of the ship.— Captain Judd, late of Auckland, was drowned at Levuka on the 14th. The deceased was in command of the ketch Lady Palmerston, and was'engaged at night in Vagadoa har boTir heaving the vessel down to get to some, portion of her bottom that needed repairing, when the punt alongside into which her ballast was being shifted sank, dragging down the ketch with her. Two sailors who were onboard escaped, but Captain Judd, who was the only one of the three who could swim, was never seen again. It is supposed he was struckjby something. Intelligence has been re ceived of the murder of Mr Ross Lewin, a planter at Tauna. The deceased was greatly annoyed by native pigs breaking into his garden, and at length he shot one, but subse quently offered the native owner compensa tion. This the native refused to accept, vowing he would have Mr Lewin's life. Some days afterwards he carried outhisthreat by shooting. In accordance with Mr Lewin's wish his widow, accompanied by all the white residents, took his body in a boat to aea to bury it, so that it could not be dug up again by the natives. The wind was unfavor able for their return, and they were driven out to sea, where they endured great priva tions, and were picked up in a starving con dition by the schooner Donald McLean. After their transfer to the 'schooner three of the men died of dysentry; and the suffer nga endured by Mrs Lewin brought on p: emature confinement. A serious outrage had occurred on board the schooner, the mate having been murdered with an axe by a native, and one of the seamen shot through the mouth with a poisoned arrow.

ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY.

A meeting of the Committee of this Society took place took place this afternoon. Mr J. C. ITirth. was Chairmsn, and five other members of the Committe were present. The Secretary stated that a sum of £450 had been paid by the Provincial Govern ment to the credit of the Society instead of £300 aa previously. The subject of erecting a propagating house was mooted, but no definite decision on the subject was arrived at. It was resolved that a sum of £4 be ex pended in procuring seeds of annuals from j England.

The desirability of obtaining different classes of the oak was touched upon and generally recognised. An interesting discussion took place as to the best means of introducing trees likely to be of commercial value. Mr Firth suggested that the secretary communicate -with the Botanical Gardens, Hobart Town, with a, view to obtaining some specimens of wattles, hickory, and cork, as well as other trees useful for commercial purposes. A few other subjects having received atten tion, the Committee adjourned till to-morrow at two o'clock.

PRESENTATION OF THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL PRIZES BY THE GO VERNOR.

His Excellency Sir James Fimar/ssoN pre sented the prizes to the boys of the Gram mar School this afternoon, at the Choral Hall. His Honor the Superintendent took the chair, and introduced the business of the afternoon. The members of the Provincial Executive were on the platform at tht pre sentation, as well as most of the committee of the Board of Education All the masters of the Grammar School were present. The hall was well filled with parents and friends of the boys. Bo fore commencing the distribution Sir James Fergusson made a short speech, in which he alluded to the absence of any provision for native children in the school, a want which he was sure was at variance with the inten tions of the original trustees. Having addressed some words of congratulation to the prize-winners and of encouragement to tho unsuccessful, his Excellency proceeded with the task of presenting the rewards. The list being very long, the ceremony was not ended when our reporter left.
