In asking Sir George Grey to preside at a mass-meeting tha sub-corn tnittee did not mean that he should cocree his own Government that is quite evident.

EDUCATION IN AUCKLAND.

(To the Editor of the STAR.) Sib,—l take the liberty of sending the ac companying letter. I was so dissatisfied with the speeeb.es at the Choral Hall last Thursday, week, that I -\\rote to the " Herald" criticising them, and calling for statistics. They have suppressed my letter. This would seem to indicate that the Gram mar School is under the protection of a cliaue. I leave it with you to consider ■whether such an act is consistent with honest journalism. I quite agree with your remarks in yesterday's paper as to the com. parative values of aB.A. degree, and honors, it is by the honors gained by its pupils that the excellency of a school is tested in Eng land, and the speakers, I considered, griev ously erred at the meeting at the Choral Hall last week in blowing the trumpet when they should rather have urged some improvement in our present school system in this province, so ! as to bring us more on a level with the schools in the other parts of this colony. : If you will examine the University Calendar for 1878 you will see that Christchurch has carried off in the shape of [scholarship prizes £705, Nelson, £475 ; Auckland, only £100. If, again, you add together all the scholar ships gained heretofore in the University, you will find that they stand thus :— Christchurch, 20; Nelson, 15; University of Otago, 5 ; Auckland College, 5 ; Welling ton College, 4; Wellington Grammar School, 1 ; Dunedin High School, 2 ; private tuition, 3; Canterbury College, 2. Total, 57. The total monies distributed for scholar ships in 1572 and 1575 was £1,495, of which Auckland, you may say, gained the fifteenth part. Out" of 13 scholarships gained in 1876 and 1878 only one has been gained by Auckland, and this by a young lady who, report says, was taught at home. In addition to this you will note that first class honors have been gained, yet only by one man, viz., Mr Seton, of the University of Otago ; that a Mr Solomon, also in that same Uniyersity, gained a scholarship of £S0 for mathematics, zoology, natural history, philosophy, and geology ; and that a Mr Bell, from Christ College, gained a scholarship of £70 for peculiar excellence in English and modern languages and general proficiency. Our boasting has indeed been much misplaced. There are, I observe, three other Institutions besides the Auckland College, in Auckland, affiliated with the University (among them St. John's, the oldest educational establishment _in the colony), and all you can say of them is that they are " sleeping partners." Even in the matter of B. A degrees, I observe that Judge Gillies was in error when he said that only seven had obtained that degree. The num ber was nine. You can tell how many of these are from Auckland; I can only recog nise three.—Yours, &c, Graduate.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sir,—Colonel Haultain seems to be pursu ing in the Grammar School Board the same course of unreasoning obstinacy with which in 1869 he succeeded in overthrowing the Stafford Ministry of which he was a mem ber. As an administrator of public funds he ought to be stopped in his wayward course, and as I am told that his election is open to question, inasmuch as the Board thatappointed him is not the Board referred to in the Grammar School Act, I offer to give to the amount of £10 in any expenses that may be incurred, if an appeal is made to the Supreme Court to try this matter. It is not, as an. admirer of the Grammar School that I take this step (for I think it an ill-arranged and ill-governed affair altogether, besides being an anachronism) but I, simply as a citizen who has strong opinions on the subject of making ducks and drakes of public money for the benefit or amusement of one's friends.—A REAL M.A.

A Fishing Yacht Missing.

Two Men ipposed to be Dfrntd.

Some uneasiness Ibeen caused to those concerned for th(|t few day, by the pro tracted absence frihe harbour of the Sea Belle (formerly th lgenora) a small fish ing yacht, owi 6d t man named George Blouse. This usiness was' consider ably increased ay, when it became known that a fir od cutter, in passing between North Ta^and Taylor's Island, yesterday morninpicked up the dingy belonging to the j Belle floating bottom upwards. The diJ was taken on board, aud brought on tqiickland ibis morning. The Sea Bella lefhe harbout yesterday week, the 20th inijt, bound to Waiheki, on a fishing cruisiShe had on board a single man, aged jnamed Daniel Drurn mond, and a youbf 15 named George Marsh. Ate is we known, the woather during the last wcjhas been very rough, and it is therefoyery likely that the yacht lias been psized in a squall, and Marsh and Diniond drowned.

NEDIN, this day. Yesterday and lay Judge Williams has been occupieauth an equity suit, Williams and oth v. Williams. The piaintiiF applied fan injunction to re strain William Mn from pursuing any rights or remedies ler a certaiu deed for enforcing payments w due, or to become due, in respect of amities of £300, granted by plaintiff to deflants until a further order was made in i case. The object of the motion was to ieach certain dealings between defendaritd plaintiff negotiated during the minority the latter, and com pleted two or three raths after he came of age. It is alleged t undue influence was exercised over Willis by Mason who was ! one of the execute pnd trustees of Mr Williams, rather the late Captain Williams, by which acquired a consider able amount of la and other property. The amount involv, in the action is be tween £20,000 an £25,000. By the transaction sought j>e impeached Mason, for the surrender o&ertain lease-hold by him obtained £2,00Jn annuity of £200 a year for life, and thieturn of a number of sheep. The rentalPilliams got for this was about £1,000 a kr for three and a-half years, and the queon in dispute turns upon whether Wjams being Mason's trustee could make th a transaction. The defendant is an ex-H.R., and was first Mayor of Dunedin. L very strong bar has been engaged. TbJudge held that Mr Williams done noth*;to debar him from exercising his right impeach the transac tion, and granted tlinterlocutory injunc tion asked for. THE "LAMBII DOWN" CASE. The Licensing B«h granted a renewal of the license for Cdongate Hotel, where the recent " LambiiDown" case occurred.

The Great Watara Meeting.

[BY TELJIiAPH.] (From Our Sp^al Reporter). j This day, 11 a.m. THE PRELIMINARIES. Yesterday at 11 clock, directly it was made known that til long-expected meet ing between Sir G<jrge Grey and Rewi was really going to uke place, a number of people collected otside Mr Pennington s auction-room, the bflding chosen. About 12 a.m. the sound if whips were heard distinctly. A fef mements later, the bullock drays frorj Parihaka were seen coming down the 111 leading to the town ship. The shops aid business places were immediately close* and almost all the inhabitants of Wstara went out to meet the new arrivals, jhen the usual greetings took place, followej by a general slaughter !of pies. THE ASSEMBLAGE. While this was ejng onKewi, Te Wetere, Apia and other clefs, together with the Ngatiamaniapoto tibes, abont 50 in all en tered the meeting-louse. Then .came the Ngatiawa natives, Mowed by the Taranakis with Boberangi. 4he midday train brought a number of visitor* very few of whom saw anything of the meting. Those admitted were, Colonel Irimble, Sut-Inspector Kenny, Messrs D. Callaghan, A. Kelly (M.H.R.), A. CarrHgton (M.H.R ), Jones, from Mokau, Parri, Fisher, and CaverhilJ. At 12.45 Sir Geo£e Grey and party came. Sir George is lockiig much better, but tar from well. After! the usual preliminary Rewi commenced*-—"You and I have

come to this place that we may see each other at this special place. As was said before privately, your hand is on my head and mine is on yours. That is why Aye have met each other here. It is a good thing for the tribes to see us here that we may utter what we have to say here at Waitara.".

SIR GEORGE GREY'S SPEECH.

Sir George Grey replied: Rewi, you asked me to meet you at Waitara, that we might discuss matters and talk over things in the place where the war began. Hore I am in compliance with, your invitation. Since the war, everything has changed. Now we have to consider for the future. The question at the present time is, not ■whether you are to be governed by us, or govern yourselves. Now we stand on equal .footing, Europeans and Maoris. Maoris now sit in the House of Re presentatives. The natives are made Ministers- to help to carry out the laws. We now make 0119 nation. Tlieio is nothing to prevent'you placing more members in the House—'nothing to prevent Rewi himself or any other chief be coming a member of the Upper House. Now tke title of your land is decided. We have land Court* with native Judges. In fact, every day we are becoming one people ever looking back on the war. There are things to be proud of—courage on both sides, bravery and generosity, and now the day is come not to destroy. If we are one people detend us against our enemies, and truly we are one people. Here is Mr Sheehan, eTen Mr Grace born in this country are as proud of New Zealand as any native. The whole generation has grown UP into one people, living together, we cannot separate, and if England was to go to w^ r» I had thought of raising a native army> th officers and men. And I wish to see natives wealthy and prosperous, and to make their land secure unto them. We are here as a great nation, becoming one nation. Inter marriages are of frequent occurrence. There are few who have not some European relation. Let us therefore try well—and faithfully try— to help. Let the chiefs come forward for the Government to execute laws.

Rewi answered : What you have said is understood ; and it is right that we should work privately together. You have all come here to-day to seek out who has caused trouble on this land. That is the place should lie Waitara lot us plant our tree from, which food shall come—let us plant that tree hero, and it shall succeed ; if it is not planted here you will not get the other trees from it. This is the subject for us to discusa to-morrow, when I will speak at large to you. First, let ns speak plainly without reserve. Second, let us speak genuine and true. Third, that this speaking shall be final—that is all I want to say. To-morrow I shall go on with the business. Sir George Grey : I will meet you here to-morrow. I believe we are quite capable of planting that tree because we have very able men to assist us, and I agree with yt tl that all we say should be plain. Speak in gentle terms but say what we think without giving offence. II believe that by following that course we shall succeed. I will say no more to-day; to-morrow I will meet you again. The Hon. Mr Sheehan they spoke a few words to Rewi. Eewi then said he wished to speak to the chiefs. Sir George Grey asked whether he wished to do so privately or before the Europeans. "Before everyone" was Rewi's answer. Rewi to the chiefs : I am just going to speak to you, Wi Tako. 'Tis a thought come to my heart. We have come to Waitara. I wish to say this word : When Europeans arrived here we were on hostile terms. When they arrived a faith was introduced, and ministers preached that faith. Within three years the whole nation listened to, and embraced this new faith. During those days, Sir George Gr«y was the promoter oE that faith. When trouble came he was to the fore in suppres sing them. When war broke out at Waitara our faith was lost. I was among those who abandoned it. I bid you welcome to take up that faith again. That is all I have to say. Matene said you and your European friends waited here to see one* another. I am delighted at what Sir George Grey has uttered to-day, and also at what he said that you should assist, and all chiefs should help. lam very much pleased, Rewi, you are glad at what Sir George Grey has said. All is true. I am not going to separate this. We are welded together as a piece of iron. tZiWi Tako then spoke of his invitation here, and the other chiefs spoke in terms of i praise of Sir George Grey. Wi Parata said : I am a half-caste. I agree with what Rewi said. The misfor tune did not. end at Waitara. He then asked if there would be a place to-morrow where we meet. I shall interfere. I will listen. '- Rewi said a. few words to Mete Kingi. Mete Kingi replied : It is well we should come here and hear what Sir George Grey has to say. Just go to Waitara aud meet Rewi. We have come to get the South re turned to the body. It is for you and Sir George Grey to unlock their cases and see what you have. Pariki was beckoned to sit down by Rewi. Rawi asked the Hon. Karaitiana to speak, which he did. He mentioned his trouble in the House last session until Sir George Grey came, and then he had a friend to help him. That concluded the meeting. The buildings erected by Government are occupied by the southern natives, who ar rived yesterday. Provisions were served out before to-day's meeting commenced. The weather has improved, and -a great many visitors are expected.
