LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

NAPIER.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Dispute Relative to Trust Reserves. A singular enquiry has cropped up. Major Heaphy, in his report on native reserves of Hawke's Bay, 1871, class Al Trusts, with Boecified objects, includes one Napier town reserve of 4J acres in extent being held in trust for emigrant barracks, the Native Hostelry Lands beina diverted to a gaol and lighthouse reserve. Our repudiation party asked the Commissioner of Crown Lands, Napier, for liberty to inspect Crown grant 1255. The Commissioner refused, unless the Superintendent gave a written order for the production. Jhe Superintendent being advised of the application, consulted the Provincial Solicitor, who advised that the inspection could not be disallowed. The Superinten dent refused permission to inspect the grant. Mr, Sheehan will move that a copy be laid on the table of the House of .Representa tives. Another Land Claim. Another*land claim has cropped up to the surface. The Maoris are entitled, by deeds of sale, to four acres at the Spit on reclaimed land. The claim is going to be maintained. Mr. A. Whitaker. Mr. A. Whitaker, son of Mr. Whitaker, o f Auckland, made his maiden appearance in the Resident Magistrate's Court on Satur day, and won his first case. The Herald pats him on the back for his courtesy and success. New Maori Paper. The Telegraph last evening says, anent .the establishing of the Wananga in Napier : — "It means that what Europeans of one time regarded as a toy, a plaything to be thrown aside when the novelty had worn away, is to be established on a permanent basis. It means that the Maoris of this province have advanced in civilisation so far as to recognise the power of the Press as a means ; that power is to be employed to further the especial interest of the native race. Unlike the Walca Maori, the new journal, is to have a thoroughly political character, and there can be no doubt one of its aims will be to secure the natives a power in the State ; that alone can be acquired through the individualisa tion of their titles to land "by which they can obtain the privileges of the fran chife, the establishment of £uch an organ by Maoris marks an era in their progress from barbarism, and shows more than anything else the influence European settlement has been silently exerting since the close of the war. It says much for the intelligence of the Maories that Jbey have resolved no longer to resist tie invincible law in opera tion, which through all time the ends of the earth have been peopled ; they have learned that however much they might retard, they could never hope to avert the final and com plete settlement of their country by strangers. This lesson has not altogether been taught them by the military prowess of Europeans. Circulating among such, a race, its columns will be largely read. In every native village the Wananga promises to be a most powerful engine for good or evil; a very heavy responsibility rests on the conductors, a great noble task to undertake, and now the Maori proprietors of the Wananga have re- Bolved to place the conduct of their journal in the hands of Europeans, it is much to be hoped the labour will be performed with the ■wisdom and moderation which the mighty . influence it should exert demands."

HOKITIKA.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Monday. Coal at Jackson's Bay.

Two samples of coal, obtained at Jackson's Bay, have been taken to Wellington by the Superintendent, and have been analysed by the Government analyst, who reports that the coal is genuine bituminous, though of rather an inferior quality, owing to the ash being high. The samples sent are merely from the outcrops.

Storm. There was a severe storm here last night, but no damage was done to the shipping.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Auckland City East Disfran chised-

The people here ask why Sir Julius Vogel did not resign his seat in the House when he found that the state of his health would prevent him returning to the colony in time to take part in the session, and in the discussion of the great constitutional ques tions. By not doing so he was disfranchised his Auckland constituency. The Chief Justice's Charge. The criminal sessions of the Supreme Court opened yesterday. The calendar was not heavy, and the cases possessed little more than local interest. One noticeable feature in the Chief Justice's address to the jury was that, unlike Mr. Justice Johnson and Mr. Justice Bichmond, he launched into nothing of colonial applica tion but confined himself strictly to the business before him, and to explaining the law to the court and jury.

NEWS FROM MR VOGEL.

(Special Telegram to Star.)

The Wairarapa Standard says it learns from an authentic source news of Mr Vogel, of which the following is a condensation : —Mr Vogel was then in London, and his health was much improved. He was able to walk about with two sticks ; he looked well, in fact, appeared as good as ever. His medical advisers had re commended him to visit some of the German spas. He would possibly remain at Baden- Baden, Weisbaden, or some «of the other continental watering - places which are favourite resorts of kings, gamesters, emperors, and adventurers, until August next. He had not been knighted though vividly anxions for thejhonor. It was thought he would secure some colonial de coration before he made his appearanc among the Germans. He had not made his mark in London ; in high places he was by no means a favorite ; his disappointment was visible and he appeared to be dissatisfied with every b-% and everything but the Rothchilds.

,' > was an ore dit to the effect that he was *>jC his bust executed in marble by a fe^oOitM^and it had been nuggested that it vr^]BHisej)etterif cast in brass. Eegard "*§ tlvfevfcan, the paragraph says :—"The nak£^4.ats are these : the loan was dis poaev^gf, and the Government here guaranteed to> receive £91 for every £100 bond. This was a discount oh the £4,000,000 of £360,000, and there will

consequently have to be a pro rata reduction of the amount voted for public workß, immi gration, etc, as scheduled in the Loan BUJ. The motion of Mr Barclay in the House of Common, that the Turk ish, New Zealand, and other loans should be referred to the Foreign Loan Committee for investigation meant more than appears on the surface, but it unfortunately lapsed from there having been so many motions to be taken within a given time before it. It is not expected that N. Z. will be able to raise another 41 per cent, loan for yars te come, even at the terms on which the, last one was negotiated. The brokers, who used to pur chase largely our bonds when issued by the Crown agents, are very much disgusted and dissatisfied with the mode of issue of the last Joan. The price indeed may be pronounced fair seeing that the whole amoun'o was forced on the market at a few days notice. It is not stated how Sir Julus Vogel and Dr. Featherston are working together, but this will be ascertained in due course. , . Cost of Immigrants. It is understood that the gross cost of each stfetute adult to the colony on his landing is £20, and for that reason the A gent-General agreed with his official superior that it would better to slacken speed seeing that we had now run our borrowing powers to the full length of their tether, hence the information on this subject which has subse quently been received by cablegrams. The above information is put down to the genial spirit of Mr Waterhouse, who interdicted the Governor from going in the Luna.

With regard to the proposed railway piers at the Breakwater, it was .proposed, in ac cordance with the recommendation of the Works Committee, that the plans, as pre pared, be adopted, and that tenders be called for, and the work proceeded with at once.

Yon der Heyde had retired from his candidature. The Chairmau said this left only the names of Messrs Casey and Buchanan. The election was then proceeded with. Before the ballot was taken, Mr Holdship referred to precedents, and said that he thoughs a similar method of election should be adopted on this occasion as had been adopted before — that was to request the City Council to numerate their candidate. He trusted that in accor dance with this percedent Captain Casey's proposer would withdraw that gentleman's name. Mr Boylan indignantly refused to do this. On the votes being taken the result was as follows :— Mr Buchanan 7 Captain Casey ... 6 Mr Buchanan was declared elected.
