For the cause that lucks assistance! For the wrong tiult needs re_istanc(S >*5r the future in the distance. Aid the « ood that we o«u do.

During tbe ccmrpe of the i'e&ent negotiations at Ohinemuri-, Nvhkrh. have' 'resulted iv the5 opening of4jbe; field to mining enterprise, we have, at a very great cost—by means of special correspondents, the use' of pigeons, aud a liberal employment of the telegraph wires—, | kept: our readers well posted Up in every movement on the field-to which all eyes are* ! now turned. It is satisfactory to know that our eWorts hai/ebeen so successful as to an-| ticipate our contemporaries by a day and twd days with every item, of importance frotn thej district, and with our perfected arrangements we.jshdl" be; able: istilt ta'do'TiSO.',' With; ac^ counts coming in this way little by little,: and extending ovel* many weeks, it is not* easy for; .the, mind to realise at once the dif-* Acuities which had to be overcome and the) diplomatic skill that has been put forth in? order toclose this tedious negotiation satis-5 factorily. The experience of former years' proved beyond a doubt that there was no hope] of opening the field by direct overture fromj the Government, and the deep-rooted spirit; of obstructiveness and the determined self-} ""TsoHtioh d£ theCjprirfcijikL /chiefs seemed jim-j pregnable even against stratagem. To anyone? unacquainted withj»-_M#(}r£[ ways and the' native character it must be equally surprising? on the one hand that the owners of the land," having experienced.the.benefitS-.deriyed fromf die iSwer^Tnaitfes," sli&uld ever have mani-j fisted such r doggpd perversity, ( and,on,the| ■Sthfer"'thai 'su'eh san entire change should have oome.o\rer : ,opini9ns = -and policy, as] must have preceded' their present friendly! attitfcde.yyipuringi^ihQ [jntejcyadr^etweeH the? manifestation of these extremes of sentiment, I lipwever,, quiet^butr.persigtent-^ffoitsshayei To9taoioOjDink -Am A f'-y -A- ' fJA '-i-"^riy . been made by. every legitimate means toi oveiS6hifeTthelriktiv-3 r-.pfejuaicisC SEor suc-i cessfully opening?tbe{. I£§sl credit is unques-| tionably due to Mr James Mackay, but wei &Mv& rMMs &MIMM §hmMm&M judgment and personal influence of Sir Donald! McLean was necessary to secure the final! accomplishment of '''tins 1 difficult1 ri'egotiation. f Even.-to l the4ast, wjhen the fiterips [bad been agreed upon and the document prepared for| signature, there was—a-serious danger of j failure, which was only averted by the tact! of the Native'Ctfrids Defence* Minister. It is right, that this should, be represented rin its I true' light, and perhaps it comes bett! from the 3ii Boi belonging! to that j rSeeiiqa A of T the j- jPw«s knownj as Government Journals, to endorse on behalf! of the people of Auckland the thanks publicly! tendered to the Native Minister by the" miners assembled $t <_>Jufi§njLU_;iij 7 *^e;docjbhis| most cordially>'raJ»d^a;raj satisfied that the p*a©efifl'b|)ehiMgrip'bfcthe country in this; way to European enterprise, wjll^do mor,e than anything F^hie7tpf! popu^rise. t !bhe Min-j istey • iofr .whieh* Sir .^Donald'c McLean is a member.

_Wfi[resa.ths%helfollßwihgTm'Jari?edit(.Halih tbi_^or^g|^ ( (E^o^.r7j'' ]V)fej^arej-iinfoFpaed, on what we understand is good authority, that Sir George Grey-has- stated that he will be a candidate, or, that he will consent to siivitltlfe isity" W*" a^epiesehtaUve 'I m ihe Assembly on condition he should be permitted to retire "in the event of the efforts ;to preserve the provincial system^proving a [failure. Sir George will thus represent the 1 ultra-Provincial party, that is if he should •really carry out his present resolve, and ul- , make his appearance on the floor of

*he Hoii3e. "As to whether or not Sir George may represent the ultra-Provincial party we cannot tell, but the foi'mer potion of tha|p: tract we believe to be a deliberate^and wilful 7 falsehood. It has been tt_o policy of this" writer in the Cross ever since Sir Georgej Grey's name was mentioned in connection with City West, not to oppose a fair and stand up resistance, but by miserable in sinuations of Provincialist treason to under mine the requisition. The statement ,in • this morning's paper i 3 one of these. Sir George Grey has .not made condition that he should be permitted to retire in the event of the efforts to preserve ths Pro vincial system proving a failure. The thing bears its refutation on its face, seeing that such a condition must be wholly un necessary, inasmuch as without any condition Of permission, he, or any representative could retire the day after the election. This "condition" is simply a trumped-up thiiig in order to giva point to a paragraph. As •has been often said, the strongest Centralists as well as the Strongest Provincialists have signed the requisition, and the idea guiding the whole proceeding has been solely that of getting into public, life, and as representative of .Auckland a man who, as a statesman and administra tor, has no equal in Now Zealand. To a mind; that can crawl no higher than the paltry question of the hour, there must appear ot course ulterior object 3 of the class to suit its capality and the groi ye n vhi;hit usually moves. But >.ye are quite confident that Sir George Grey has never t-aid any thing to indicate thao he would make _. mere ■ convenience of the seat, and. such a trumped up tale as thid belonging ouly to the lower class of electioneering tricks, is exceedingly discreditable to a respectable journal.

The Hon. Dr. Pollen has been engaged during the day "with Captain Fraser and Mr Aliom framing the regulations for the new goldfield. trir Donald McLean, the Native Minister, will remain in town a few days longer, when he will return to Wtllington in the Luna.

Captain Sherlock, of the barque Union, reports having parsed a large school of sperm whales off the Three Kings. Within, twenty-four hours the captain is confident he must have seen over 100. At times they almost brushed aga nst the ship. It is to be hoped that ihe Albion wiil get amongst such a shoal. One good take wolild be sufficient to extend the whale fishery of the colony far beyond its present narrow limits.

All the principal chiefs were present; also, Mr Mackay, who took no part in the proceedings. Te Moananui and Te Hira said—"Let there be bo leasing of land to turopeans. The have the mountains ; let us retain the fi_.t land for ourselves."

Peiiniki, a large land-holdsr, said—" I do not agree with Te Moananui and Te Hira. I say, let every man do.what he likes with his own property. If be like 3to lease to Europeans, let him do so." The meeting was continued to-day. y Saturday afternoon. A rich find ©f gold is reported outside of the boundary. The meeting of natives about leasing the fiat lands has adjourned till Monday. Te Hira ami Te Moananui want to lock them up. The nnjor.ty of the natives are in faA^or of acting as thoy think, best. A digger yesterday morning threw a lighted match amongst the fern at Camp Town. A strong gale was blowing, and the whole flat, was burned. ; Great* 'dania^ie was done to the native fencing. Cwnimnnication with Thorpe's by-road was cut off.'. The whole flat was one vast sheet of fire, .which, presented a brilliant appearance as the huge flames leaped upwards iuto the night. To-day the natives are kicking'up a great row about it. ~-•.,• ,• ■ Mr Mackay is trying to pacify them.

I have already sent you by telegraph the most important pare of the discussion, which resulted in the signing the agreement of open ing the country. A few notes on the lead ing Maori speakers will, no doubt, interest your readers. TE MOANANUI. This chief is perhaps the most important one in these parts* and for some yeal-o pist has occupied a prominent position in the eyes of the public. He is a great orator, and like a cork is very difficult to keep down, al most an impossibility to successfully argue a poi:it with tuch a character as that ; no one of less calibre than a Jamas Mackay, junr., would have the blighf.est chince. At the present time lam told that-he holds in his hinds the management of native affairs in this district, Mr. t.ewi having handed his portfolio over to him- for the nonce. Te Mo ananui was, as he pe>haps ought to have beca, tho most conspicuous individual among the natives at the meeting. He was dressed in European costume black coit, dark tweed vest aud trousers, and wore on his head a round fur cap, similar to those that adorn the caputs of lata arrivals from home. It became him Very well, and his get-up alto gether was &u-_g<J3tive of a highly respect able middle-aged gentleman. He exhibited elocutionary powers of a high order, and impressed the onlooker at once with the fact that he'V TWas aufindryidi^np^^J'fo! be trifled with." " "* j Te hira. Almost everybody has heaM of this chief, and looked iipou him as fin individual pos sessed of a very obstiuate disposition and a great dislike to the Pakeha. lam informed however, from a reliable source, that he is in reality one of the bj-Sjb natives in this distric .; there is no underhand, double dealing with him ; what he says he means, and he turns not his blanket thigr side or that side for anyone. "VVhr.t he^efdea he firmly believe 3is for tho good of his own people, as represent ing the King interest in this quarter, which, although not identical with our interests, does not detract from;his character as a man. blis appearat.ee as hoffose up fo speak^ was anything but.arist^raticip^-an old blanket, and-a dirty pair ot-rholeakin trousers, con-: stifuting the .principal part of his costume. BiCface is deeply tatooed, in fact thfrjakinj is almost entirely cutaway with the ihmim erahle lines that Inverse bi3 cheeks and; chiu. If tatooing is a sign of a great chief, heonust be very much a" great chief^ A\ strange thought flashed across my mind that I had seen him, oft some onevexceedingly iike~him someWhere7"a long time_ago. After scanning hirnyfor some little ;time, I dis covered in his, appearance^* startling resem blance to the Egyptian mummies exhibited in the British^Museum, evidently where I had-seen his prototype, ior ijSthe reader can imagine lan animated, very animated Egpytian mummy, clothed ig • a frowsy blanket,, and; a?;, dirty"" pair" of mole skins, ha will riot hare sa,^ bad idea of the great 3j'e Iftfa.

No one Tvofild hive imagined that the sedate individual with a blacls3felt wide-a --wake and long blaidS alpaeca coat, "was no more nor less than the farsfomed RewiQßut so 16 was. He ia possessed of very large ideas, and is ao_cioui«rto obtain not only all he can get, but* a great deal which t%vte is not*the slightest prb^abilfiy of his getting. There is a story current of. the Government wishing to buy>a snpjl piefie of land at^ara wai, near Shbttland,' through which they wanted to make a road. The price, however, was a stumbling-blMk, which has not to this day been surmounted, for the sum that he Required will as'fonish the reader.

At last, however, one morning he appeared with a smiling countenance and requested the Government to pay him for his land the modest sum of (I must write the amount down, for if I attempted figures I am afraid that like Rewi I should get into a fog and put down something unintelligible) one hundre|Lthousand millions of pounds.

Ropata's name is as familiar- in our mouths as household words.

'■■ STORE-EBBING. *, 7 f' "' Quantities of stores are being packed by store keepers too the ranges. Mr Lipsey has opened a Targe store "at; tbe Gorge. Parties intending^ to erect stores will find it cheaper to purchase timber here than to ship* it themselves. Messrs Lamb, of Grahamstown, have opened a timber yard at the landing place, Paeroa, where every description of timber can-' be obtained at reasonable rates. ,

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE DIGGERS.

I'here was threat excitement amongst the diggers when it was known that ithe natives had signed agreement, and much satisfaction felt on all si^es this morninet when Sir .Donald .-McLean said that the fields would be opened in ten days. Many diggers have struck their tents, at Paeroa aud removed to Waitekauri Gorge. Great confidence is felt by miners in-the future prospects of the field. : Storekeepers are doing well. The first game of cricket was played on the flat ye^rday afternoon. Visitors have great difficulty in finding accommodation ; not a be.i to be had. NEWSPAPER MEN. r "|

Mr Wilkinson, of the Thames Advertiser, and Mr Brett, of the Auckkud^TAiy arrived , yesterday evening, aud left again this after noon for Shortland by the steamer Pearl , It is said th<it a newspaper is to, be saitec|in a few days—nothing cou:d be moretyp(e)ical of the advancement of the. district.

FEAE OF THE MW^I^S. # Now that so many are suffrtring'fioni the measles in Auckland aml;theT.'hauie3 it is to be hoped that the disease will not be im ported here, as there would be great danger of it attacking the,natives, amongst whom the consequences would doubtless be very Berious, and the malady difficult to eradicate.

MAN AND WIFE.

This noted dramatic version of Wilkie Col lin's stow of tbe same title, and whicn first appeared" in Cas°.el!*s Mag^ne/ was rrpro duced on Saturday evening at the rP^ince] of Wales Theatre. -As is generally known in the literary world, this rather excitmg. story w^s suggested to the authors mind by the-Yelverton case, in which a woman of culture :and intellect was deceived by; an. adventurer in consequence of the anomalies which existed some years ago in Scotland in conned ion with the Scotch marriage law. On.thiP feature the story hangs in r the lnidst of romantic surroundings. The p-incipai characters .introduced are ;Anne Sylvester, (Mrs Darreli) Geoffrey , D.elamayn?,. (Mr CDaAelf)- ; Brfnk'wortb',' ; (Mr ' f Hollowny) and the. Eiib'ordinate : parts by tbe other performers -The, -piece exhibits many passages of extreme - beauty and pathos, especially the passages which fell to the lot of Mrs Darreli, whose elocu tionary powers were brought into full pl\V to tbe deliaht of the audience. The various 'actV were finely portrayed by ,the : scene ; painter, which gives to the play 'those'na tural charms that catchrthe eye and sometimes improve the heart. The piece is a judicious blending of passion and poetry, with fre duent touches of those sensational peculiari- - tie« wh:ch distinguish the pen of the gody son of Sir David Wilkie, the painter, "Man and'^ife" will be repeated this 'eyeiiing, and 'to-morrow " Rube Redmond," a drama illustrative of life in the backwoods of America,,will be produced. ,We leartffrOm rth^aunouncenientiu this evening a issue of, Ithd StAr that this performance caused quite a sensation in th& cities, of the'TTnit ed States, #here It represented bri more than 150 nights. ~f 11 ;;(-;;.
