{From our own Correspondent.) {'lhis day,

Rather Suspicious The Waikato Times this morning publishes particulars of a suspicious circumstance yesterday. A Piako traveller met a party of Maories; one was on horseback und,evidently from his manner, was desirous of ttavellm« unobserved, and having something to guard off the track. Possibly it was Winiata. Consequent on the paragraph, the local police were sent out to tho Piuko way recou noitering. The proprietors of the Waikaio Times are preparing for enlargement of the paper.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

BLONDItf.

This wonderful man, who hau won a world-wid« reputation by his extraorr iuary achievements in various parts of the woild, will Rive his faiewell per formance on the high r.ipe this evening. sheja-ge green areDa between Government houso and the Choral Hail last night prelected a sea of heads, which mush have numbered o«-er 4000. The performances Of thecelebrat-.d funambulist wer- nearly the same as those of the previous evening, acd consisted in his graceful walk and qnick return in Ms rich Knightly dress, walking in d«riii e<s, the fea-t. on thfi rope, carrying his secretary across, and tl c really ►pl-tf did pyrotechnic device, entitled th« eruption of Mount Vesuvius, in which Blouoin was completely enveloped by torrents of golden rain and fountains of HV lten fire. No sight eqtul to this has ever previously been seen in Auckland, or ev<-n in tbe c lony tf ssaw Z^-a- Jand. she pen fails indeed in attempting a descrip tion of In* Bloiidin exhibition, which every person should take the opportunity of setiijg, because, it. is very improbable that they may ever have a chance of witnessing the Blondin splendours again. During these nn que and astonishing revelations Mr linpey's band performed several excellent selections of music. such as the •'Victoria Rifle*," "Italians ia Algeria," " Young Aristocrat," " Recollections of the Opera," "Evening fairies," "The Wes l)cg," and fiasliy the National Anthem We call especial attention to the programme for to-right, in whicn a number of repre sentations new 10 the Auckland public will He made. Among tie more prominentof these will be th<* grand cataract ascension, au peifoimed by Blondin over tue boiling chasm of Niagara, and the balcon ascent. The fireworks, manufaciured by Mr Ireland, Blou din'a artist, are magnificent in hue and brilliancy, and add greatly to the charms of the entertainment. CITY HALt,. The entertainment last evening in the City Fall lor the benefit of St. MaTys Orphanage, was well attended, and was under the 1 aUonage ol Sir George Grey. X..C.8., and a lumber of ihe Catholic clergy, including tha Keva. Fathers Frees, M»cdonald, O'Dwyer, Fimpson, and Kend 11.

INQUEST.—This Day.

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Freeman's Bry Hotel, before Dr Philson, coroner, and a jury on the body of Michael Mcßnsche, a native of Belgium, who lost hiß life on Thursday at the Sandspit. William Dodgeon, deposed that he was employed as mill hand at the Sand spit; he knew the deceased, Michael Bushel;, not Mcßusche, and had known him for eleven' years who, was also a bushman and millage ; he was 45 years of age, and a native of Belgium, he married a half-caste some years ago, but she left him and hi had not since heard of her. He has a brother in Dennedy's Bay. On Thursday last witness and Buabet, v ith several others, were en gaged jacking logs down the creek lo the mill, whtu Bushetwith others, knowing that the dam was filling with water, went to the creek side wi'h haud - spikes to put. as many Jogs into the' creek as possible. Bushel got on to the second log with his spike to move the front log. As he did so, the fiont iog moved arid the one he. was Btandiog on followed. The descent of the water was very rapid, and btfore deceased could be got off the log that he was on bhot. into the stream, and the current took him away. Witness could see him, buo could render him no assistance. JBe sunk shortly after. As soon as the water had sufficiently subsided, witness and another went after him, and found the bo iy dead about two lailes from the spot where he started, with the logs on his body, 'ihey took his body to the mill, by order of Mr Caahmore, by his cutter, the Iris ;. Jfcus body was greatly bruised ; he could not swim. Robert Caahmore, proprietor of the Sand spit Saw-mills, residing in Hobson-street, hid known deceased eleven years, and on hearing ef the accident had the body coffined and forwarded by his cutter, the Iri/?, to Auck land.

James An_enne, timber merchant, had known deoeased aa a Bcber man for twenty-two years. He left £3S 5a in his possepsion some ten days age to take care of or him: Sergeant Martin gave evidence as to re caiviug the body, and the jury returned a ver dict of " Accidental Death."

The Orakei Natives and the Late Murder.

The natives of Orakei are aggrieved at the suspicion thrown upon them, in conneotion with the late murder, Two of them called at tho Stak oflice to-day, with an interpreter and made the following statement :—

Hone Warena said I was one of those who caught Newton the murderer, and brought him before a Court. I did not know Wyn ' yard. The policeman came to Orakei,, and searched our houses expecting to find Wyu yard bid there. lam a loyal native, and know the law better than to hide a mur derer. I think it bad that we should have our houses forcibly entered when we have done no wrong, and are not related to the murderer. We never saw him. We live down on the beach at Kohimaraina, but Brassey lives above the bridae and mighthave seen him. We heard'nothing of him exept from Mr Brown, interpreter. We have horses running about, but they are all safe. We were asked by the policeman to search for the murderer, but we are cultivating our lands and it is such a difficult thing to get money out of the Government; afterwards that we won't trust to the £100 reward. If tbe Government will give us four shillings a day we will turn out to a man and hunt for him, and we have an idea that we might find him out. The policemen are braced up too stiffly in regimentals to bob under the k_reaus to catch a murderer ; their necks are too stiff to look up iuto a tree to see if there was a bird or a man there. They like to stand on the roads. We don't think Wyn yard has got to the King country because the bush is too thick for him to get through and the open country too thi kly peopled. We believe he is in the locality with a stock of provisions at the present time. It is impos sible for him to reach the King country unless be t is allowed. If he did g«t there it would be tbe duty of the King accord ing to Hauhau rule to give him protec tion because he is protecting the otbrr murderers. Why isn't the Government anxious to tal<e up the other murderers who killed Sullivan, Todd and, others, and why is Te Kooti's butcher allowed to go out at Povcity Bay and Napier, which is well-known, and to attend Native Lauds O< urts. When Charley Marsden (a Maori) killed a servant of Timata called Kerara at Henderson'ti Mill, al though mad with drink, he was taken up immediately and hanged. If white men are taken up and punished immediately when they commit these crimes, why are not Maories ? Because they can't catch them, and don't go the right way nbout it. Hone War ana. Eota Te Whakebina. Rota te Wharehine, who was a member of rhe Native Contingent that pursued Te Kooti through the Rotoiua country, confirmed Hone's statement. He says he met Baron de Thierry up there leasing lands from the Maories, and De Thierry knows that he has always been a loyal and true native. The burden of both native's statements is that if they cau assist in capturing the mur derer they will do so, bus as they can't live without eating, they must be paid for it.

By telegraphic advice received to-day, we learn that the Al clipper barque, Queen of the Sea, 500 tons, was on the berth at Hobarfe Town, for this port, to sail 1 about the 24th ult., with a full cargo of posts and rails, timber, jims, fruit, etc., consigned to Messrs H. S Meyers and Co. We learn that the telegram from Helena ville relative to the schooner Melaine is in correct. Tbe veesel has not been driven up on the beach nor sprung in the deck. She is ia a perfectly sound condition. A meeting ot the United Order of Free Templars took place on Tueaday evening last, in t.he Star of Freedom Lodge, Cook-street. The place was well filled by members of bo'.h sexes. A number of speeches were made by Biron C. de Thieny, the substance of the whole of them being that tbe .Maoris were willing to jo'n the order in every part of the country, and to open Lodges in many of their kaingas. The general feeling seems to be that a little e_er£etie action on the part of the society would be crowned with success. The onward pace of the United Order of Free Templars has increased step by step, since it was established in Auckland. During its course it has made a host of friends among the European and Maoris'. The Maori's around, who were, (as usual) sceptics at first, have now come to acknow ledge its reality and ustfulmss. The aged and grey Maori chiefs appear happy to shew their willingness to receive the establishment of the order among them in every place on the coa>-t. At one of the United Order of- Free Templars meetings held at Whangarei Are Kahauara Te Whareumu addresser! the meeting between a song and a hymn, in words to the following effect: O, friends let 'the leafy boughs of this tree, friendship, spread its flowery branches over the people of this country.— Communicated.
