THE MAKETU NATIVE ROW.

(To the Editor of the Stab.)

Htr.-No one who is at .all aware of the dealings of the General Government with the natives at Maketu can feel surprised at the complication of the native Und question there. I was one of the unfortunates who attempted to survey native land at Eotorua for private parties, and can bear witness to the wilhng £en of the natives to part with their lands to private ■peculators whilst refusing to have anything to rf with the Gov.rnment. There would have b^ - Q difficulty at lhat time in purchasing or rfMing the whole of the lands between Kot^ rtta ttnd x aupo . There was not a day durln? tfl6 time I was there (about two months),that " ()Sr "t,ies did not come over and offer to sell or lea^ e t neir lands—in fact, we were driven to our w\ o9 « en j j or excuses to put them off. The Governr> n t agents were free with their money. Anyone no professed to have an interest in land conld get money by representine th«t he was into rep/ced in such or such block, and willing to sign a Veceipt for money on account. This was frequently done, and the money afterwards spent on rum, al though the agents were laughed at, and spoken of in no complimentary terms behind their backs, still they held a lein over the land, however defective the tltla, which could only be upset in a court of law. I •was treated during the whole lime I was in the dis trict with the greatest kindness by all the native tribes I came in contact with. Such was their deter mination t" have the lands surveyed for private par ties that, when the Government sent to stop the sur veys, they insisted that I should go on, and offered to accompany me round the boundaries with two hundred armed men if necessary, stating that they would put Lieutenant Blewett and his twenty armed contingent in the Hot Lakes if they interfered. There wss great etcitement at the time, and for two or three days the men were engaged cleaning up their arms of which there was n.'o lack. I was given to un derstand that the Arawa-^ • w era allowed to retain their rifles after the late w,ar. Not wishing to implicate myself in any way, I deckled upon leaving the district, which I V&a to do clandestinly, otherwise I should bave beer, prevented. I sent my instruments on before daybreak, and followed myself on foot to the coach roacV, where I was picked up by the coach to Tauranga., On my arrival in town, I reported my self at hei^a-quarters. and was commended for my discretion but that is all for I have never received one per^ny for loss of time or expense, through no fault of my own. as I was strictly within thelaw whea the surveys were undertaken. Only on Satur day la«t t hfiard the natives were still willing to part with thei' lands, have them surveyed, and carry out ihelr original agreement.-Yonrs, J. P. Daltok.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

IPKINCE OF WALES THEATKE.—" THE WHIrE CAT." production of another of the spectacular ■operettas for which Miss Lydia Howarde and her talented company are so famous, drew together a ■capital audience on Saturday night. " The White ■Cat; or la Chatte Blanche " iaa fairy extravsganza of tha moat fantastic design, in which the simplest description of plot ii made to serve aa the tenter hook on which to ban* sparkling passages of dialogue and music, illustrated by scenery of the gayest Christmas type. We must congratulate Miss Howarde and her coadjutors in the direction, upon the manner in which the piece was put upon the Btage. Anyone who knows anything of theatrical matters is aware that these musica' trifles as they ate sometimes looked upon and called, are among the znost difficult productions to present In a com jpTote form before an audience. " The White <<Jat '' is no exception in this respect, •and we might mention halt a dozen difficulties attend ing the preparation, which have been snrmounted by •sheer hard work and perseverance, in which Misa , Howarde was always the leading spirit. The plot or, more properly speaking, the idea pervading the "White Cat " is the transformation of a princess and her ladies into cats by an ill-natured fairy suffer ing from the sting of slighted beauty. Of course, the , denouement is the restoration of the ladies to their ; original shapes, and the union of the offending couple. The piece is interßpered with music of all sorts—aolog, dnrts, and choruses, mostly of the " jolly " species. An the amorous Prince Lardl Dardi, Mias Lydia THbwarde created a most favorable impression. She 3aad entirely recovered from the trifling indisposition manifested Itself on the nrst night, and her movements and acting were graceful and captivating, Her voice too came out in all its tones, full and fi melodious, at once powerful and penetrating, har nonioun and true. She was costumed for the part with her usual perfection of taste and the elegant proportions of her Urdus suras (the meaning of this our readers must find out for themselves) provoked unflisgu ed admiration. The applause whloh greeted her efforts, must have been as gratify ing as it was deßerved. Mi3s Solanga Navaro«s the '" converted" princess Kowena, labonred tinder the disadvantage of having her extraordinary play of feature—her best point—effectually nullified by her disguise, but in spite of this eh« managed the vole With bnautiful delicacy and skill, and her singing was sweet and telling. Mirs Jennie Nye did not please us in her unthankful part of the wicked fairy 10 much as the generally does. She appeared a little carelesß <n her acting, but her singing was as effective as ever. Mr Henry Power as Mlbs Tabley wm again a tower of strength to the company and bla acting evoked continued applause. Mr Searle as the policeman was " got ud " remarkably well, and acted with much originality and humour. A song Which he gave composed by himself, told with good effeot. Mr Collier performed his rather subordinate part with care and success. The scenery by Mr Thornton deserves more than a word of praise. It is showy and in excellent keeping with the fairy legends it is intended to illustrate. A variety of local hits Introduced in the course of tha perfor mance went well home "The White Cat" will be re-producd this evening, and until further notice. THE NSW COMBINATION. This new company, including some of the most famous artist* of the age. under the management of Mr John smith, the well-known entrepreneur, com menced 'their promised series of twelve entertain ments on Saturday evening at the City Hall with such an (radiance as few public entertainers of the publio can boast. The company only reached Auckland in the afternoon, consequently, as Mr Wilted stated they were hardly in the humour for work, and indeed Beveral of the artists, especially the famous trapezian, Paur. Verona Mr Smith mußt have felt great satn faotionat the overwhelming reception which greeted him and his company. The proceedings opened with a selection on the pianoforte by the accomplished pianist, Mademoiselle Nartini, who accompanied the ringera and performed throughout the entertainment. The staging of a number of choice ballatfs by Mr Cary, the renowned baritone, and Miss Lane were quite equal to expectation and elicited dus applause, espoc (ally Mr Gary's song of " Nothing like Leather, which, ha gave in response to an encore. Not having a programme we are unable to give the titles. The largar portion of the evening's work devolved upon MrPemberton Willard, the lightning change artist, whr,ge marvellous metamorposis and protean ehanees of costume in sight of the audience were loudly P'/aiied, and deservedly so. Mr, Willard introduced TJiileuteßant Neverfllnch, Grandfather Jollity, Miss ■Highflyer, and several other female characters in Illustration of the follies of the period. Alltha-e ohwa'cteis were made to express their peculiarities in ballad fashion. The ballais or rather parodies of popular songs are by Mr Willard, and well adapted Io the purpose for which they were written. The Lieutenant, who is a fop, and employs Napoleon's famous tailor, Mr Poole, of Savllle Row, holds the opinion that— " Yon're nothing without dress, That I'm of fashion's gayest blaydes to you I will, confess; » Bj dressing well I thus contrive my time away to while, And Paole says I'm a model qnite of excellence and style." Grandfather sings a gong in praise of celibacy, »nd Miss Highflyer chants of quizzing the tha men. The quickness of changes from one character to another without leaving the rt&ge was the most remarkable feature of these repreisentati >ns. In the second part of the pro- Rr&iame, Mr WilUrd introduced in his own person Mpre/sentatives of national minstrelsy, such as Tim Magee, the Irishman, a well-to-do Paddy, with • fond recoVSptiona of Donnybrook, but who was jjom at C.\: Tipperary, and subsequently became mine houi*' of Magae's hotel In a populous part of «w graent^tale. Then came Mrs Magee on to the «»«» in a state of great anxiety in quest of that Wlpeon Urn. j The Savoyard Hurdy-gurdy bovjwas

portraits was that i, ' ||S the . lady of his love d sl'lS^/' excellent. The imitations of . jristyMiSf^ who are constantly engagfd at f-t oames'a Hall v, whose nightly entertainments are among the best to be seen in the great city were exceedingly clever. The dialogue between Johnson and Bones, and the bones performance were all admirable in their way, although bordering on the burlesque, Mr Willard's parody nn a popular ballad, " Wash my little face, dear Mother; Sponge me well and make me clean, Do not wash my little brother, Until after I have been." The very absurdi.y of the ditty, despite the reality of the picture, caused roars of laughter. The young lady bearing the Egyptian norm de plume or appella tion of <• zelia. went through -.a number of trapezian performances with extraordinary agility and smart ness, and reminded us forcibly of Lottie, now the wife of Harry Rickards. As the famous sensational artist did not appear, the double traneze was not performed, and in consequence it would be unfair to pass a final opinion on the acts of Azelia. The con cluding part of the amusement was the introduction of the Marionettes by Mr Webb, the maker of them, and who, of course is the best man to pull the strings. The dances and freaks of these fairy-like people in their splendid dresses, created an Immense amount of amusement among the young people,, and so eager were the boys behind to witness these miniature performances, that one or two stools gave' way beneath the weight of humanity upon.them. New characters and changes will be introducedthis evening. — TO THE WHATj'. The regular monthly social re-union at the Lunatic Asylum, Whau, for the amusement and recreation of the inmates will take place to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, on which occasion Mr J, B. Kilian, of Auckland, will introduce his wonderful repertoire of prestigiatory illusions, entitled " Magic, Wonder, aDd Delight." An excellent band will be in atten dance, and play at intervals, Among the leading performers will appear Mr Dave Fox, the prize medal clogographicalitist, in his marble pedeatol dance. Mr K. Teague will give a recitation, Mr Walton will come out as " Billy's Father." A lafly amateur will sing two sentimental ballads, but in accordance with her sincere wish, we withold her name, although it ought to be known, as she cannot hope long to remain in cog. The perrormance will close with the orthodox dance. Should the evening be fine, a ride to the Whau with a reasonable certainty of returninc - \,, be exceedingly pleasant beneath the ref-* .-.v^'n v.! of the blight March moon. .-/gent light

PRIDE OF TOKATEA GOLD MINING COMPANY.

The half-yearly, general meeting of share holders in this Company was held at noon, C. J. Stone, Esq., in the chair. —The direc tors' report and balance-sheet were read ; the report stated that the returns from the mine had not been so large as expected, still the mine had been well opened up, and a better result might be confidently looked for at the close of another year. The balance sheet was considered favorable, and both reports and balance-sheet were passed.— Messrs Hawkeswood and Whelan the retir ing directors were re-elected, and Mr George Fraser was re-appointed auditor to the Com pany.—A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting.

THE LATEST ABOUT SULLIVAN.

The Melbourne correspondent of the Gee long Advertiser; writing under date February 11th says :—We are strangely forgetful of popular heroes. Some little time since we were all excited about an old acquaintance Sulli van, of Mangatapu, and anxious to know what country would bestow upon him the honours of citizenshi p. Reports have for a long timebeen current that he left us, and that the "thumb trick " would never be exhibited in Victoria again, but these are much exaggerated. Our anxiety to know the direction in which his sea trip has been taken, and how he fares from it, leads us to adopt over hasty concluson, but as a matter of fact it may be well to know that he still resides at Mr Oastieau's that his health is still unimpaired, albeit the indol ence of his daily life causes him to put on flesh, and that his only care is the desire to know when the contemplated marine excur sion will be provided for him by the Govern ment.

THE ONEHUNGA STABBING CASE.

The unfortunate seaman, James Williamson, who was stabbed by a foreigner on Monday last at Onehunga is apparently recovering, but it will be some time, even if a relapse does not take place, before he will be able to leave his bed. In answer to questions put by our reporter, Williamson said that he felt excessively weak from loss of blood, but felt no pain from the wound, but in the spine of his back he felt great pain, especially when an attempt was made to move him. After speaking a few words, the poor man seemed quite ex hausted. He can scarcely eat anything, but is continually craving for drink, and, although slightly-Jbetter, he is still in a very precarious condition.

A MURDEROUS DESPERATION.

A Brooklyn paper (says the Daily Telegraph) gives the following extraordinary account of an interview between a murderer under sentence of death in New York State and the barrister who defended him on his trial: —

On Sunday afternoon George A. Mott visited William Delaney, under seetence of death in the gaol at Mineola. Mr. Mott defended Delaney on his trial, and called on him to see whether there was anything he could do for him, as he was represented as being in a dying condition from hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr Mott was admitted to the condemned man's cell by Keeper Bushman, who locked the door after him and retired. Mr Mott found Delaney lying on his bed with the cover let over him. As his visitor entered he turned his head, but did not otherwise move. As soon as the keeper was out of sight Delaney threw off the coverlet and sprang to his feet. He stepped towards Mr Mott and seized him by both i shoulders. Mr Mott is a man below the medium height, whereas Delaney is almost of gigantic proportions. He held Mr Mott in an iron grip, and, shaking him almost savagely, he hissed out in a whisper : "Have you got a knife? Give it to me if yoii have." Mr Mott was greatly alarmed, but retained his presence of mind. He was alone with the murderer, and the keepers were some yards distant in the corridor. "What's the matter?" Mr Mott asked. " Give me your knife," Delaney said, shak ing his right hand over. Mr Mott's head, and quivering with excitement from head to foot, "give me your knife." "I have no knife," Mr Mott replied. " Don't tell me that," Delaney said. " You have a knife. Give it to me, give it to me, and I'm a free man." "I tell you I haven't a/knife,", Mr. Mott re,-, peated. ... .;:,-, , .... "Yes you have," Delaney said, savagely. "Let me have it, and liberty is mine before to-morrow." ■■..'.-, "What nonsense," Mr.. Mott said. "I haven't got any knife." "Give me your knife, I say," Delaney whispered, shaking all over with intense ex citement. '"' There are only two warders here, Rushman and Smith. Let me have the knife, and I'll gash their throats; I'll cut out their hearts. They'll be dead men the first time they enter my cell, and. then I'm a free man." "Be quiet, man," Mr Mott said, "they are too much for you, and your irons would pre vent you from doing any harm." "My irons," Delaney said in a hissing whisper, "I tell you I've cut them through. I can shake them off in a minute. They think I'm sick, but I'm not. I'd jump on them, shake off my shackles, and cut their throats in , a moment. All I want is a knife. I'm ready now," he added, in a tremor of wild excite ment. " Only give me your knife, and when they come in to let you out I'll pretend to knock you down, and then I'll gash their throats and be free." All this time the condemned man had kept Mr Mott in his grasp. The lawyer was not a little alarmed, but he lacks neither nerve nor

■*wj________ YjPPwas desperately Jin his fury he might r Mott smiled on his ,retended to approve of

.. VMr JViolc sad. " You pretend to jne clown, and then kill the keepers and , escape/:" But the mischief is, I havn't got a knife. But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go out and get a good big knife, and then I'll come back, pretending I've forgot to tell you something. Then I'll give you the knife, and you can escape." . "That'll do," the murderer, tremulous with joy. "Make haste and get me the knife, and and I'll never forget the act as long as I live." The man then laid down and covered himself with the bed clothes, and Mr Mott called the keepers to let him out. "When he was safe out side, Mr. Mott said to the keepers: "For God's sake, don't go near that man. lie has got the shackles oft and wants to kill you. He wanted me to give him a knife to cut your throats with."

Next day five keepers entered Delaney's cell, and, after a. struggle, overpowered him. His irons were all filed through, the interstices being filled with bread crumbs. The floor of his cell was torn up, and a hole was dug through the foundation into the next cell, in which two negroes were confined for burglary. These men and Delaney hed planned an escape. An old truss was found concealed in Delaney's bed, and the springs of this had been used to file their irons. All the men could have shaken off their irons in a minute. Delaney was re moved to another cell, and securely ironed.
