willVive you part of the lands that remain unsold. These will be returned to the Waikato people as far as the west bank of the Waikato to the mouth,- and in addition to this I will give allotments in the towns of Waikato, which will be for you and your people during the forthcoming years. My desire is that you should become wealthy because these are the lands which will bring you money. -In reierence^ to roads, it will be for me and you to decide. In respect to surveys, I will say this : it is for you to decide whethet your lands shall be surveyed, aud it is for you to say that the land shall not be surveyed. I nave carefully considered these questions, and am anxious to see you living in peace in thoso places in Waikato that will be given back to you. That is if you accept these proposal. With reference to the implements which you require for culti vation of land, I will make arrangements that the Government shall supply you, so that you may be able to occupy the land. These are the only things I am able to do. With reference to tho allotments in the township I should like that Tawhiao should consult with me because I view this as an important matter. Te Tuhi said this matter requires con sideration. Leave us to reflect over it. I told you yesterday that what we asked could not be granted. Sir George Grey : Tawhiao, you have said you ■will consider these matters. Perhaps it would be better to put these ■proposal in writing, and give them to- you so that may carefully consider them. I wish to leave here after a memorial of my love to'you. lam very anxious that 'these questions should now be' settled now, because this is the time for settling these matters,because the Pakehas are increasing rapidly in this Island, and the matter will be more difficult hereafter. It is on account of my love for tbe Waikatos during the past years that I should like to settle this matterfbefore 1 die, and leave these, tribes in peace and comfort. Thenatives agreed to talk these matters over, and the meeting is now terminating.

COUNT DE ZABA ON "POLAND."

A iecture was delivered last evening in the Choral Hall by Count Do Zaba, on the> "History and Literature of Poland," in am of the Ladies Benevolent Society. The chair was occupied by Bi °ht Rev Dr. Covvie. Bishop of Auckland who made a few introductory remarks. His Lordship "aid the Count called upon him and expressed his willingness to lecture in favour of any Benevolent Society if he (the Bishop) would name one. He thought he could not do better than mention the Ladies' Benevolent Society. (Cheers.) Count de Zaba then rose and pro ceeded to remark upon the encouragement his TnrdshiD had Riven him in presiding. He was pfoud oPiheoSlon which brought them to £ptlipr in unity of purpose and unity of spirit. It was the duiy of everyone whether he De a local citizen or a stranger, to come forward to aid any benevolent society, wherever aid was required, and he was glad to be of service to the Auckland Ladies' Benevolent Society. His lecture on Polish history and literature was a vast subject, and justice could scarcely be done to it in a single lecture.; his. lecture would, therefore, be an abridgment, or historical sketch, rather than a complete history- He would divide his subiect into four parts or periods of Polish history: (1) a dynasty of absolute Kings, from Sl2 to 1370; (2) constitutional monarchy tinder the Ja^Kelonian dynasty, from 1386 to 1573- (3) the elective monarchy: and (4) the struggles of the Polish people for tho redress of political and social grievance in the removal of foreign tyrannies, extending from 17M to the present time. In the firat period, Poland, was divided into two classes, the agricultural, and the equestrian, and both orders existed upon legal and constitutional equality, one to till the land and the other to fight their battles, lhe Government was an institution of merit, and its members distinguished either by superior intelligence or military virtues. The lecturer compared the political life and character of Poland, with France. Germany, and Great Britain, at this period, shewing that Poland very early applied the principles of iu3fcice to her Government, aDd that she ever afforded shelter to her neighbours in the most honourable manner. When the Jews were oppressed the Poles welcomed them to a home in their fatherland, while they gave tho utmost expan sion to the rights of man. In Poland the spirit of independence had no division ; it was bound in communities of common interest and sentiment; whilst Englaud gave herself over to absolute monarchy, Poland was true to her principles. The lecturer proceeded to give a resume of Poland's literary and artistic progress, her maritime power, geographical and astrono mical discoveries. Whilst other nations were fighting in the name of religion, she was calm aud serene. Beliaving in the sacred rights o£ conscience, Poland was first in the promul gation of civil and religious liberty. The first Bible in the spirit of Protestantism, was printed ft Warsaw, under tha authority of the King of Poland. The two Sigismunds, father and sod. gave their influence on the side of liberty or, conscience and the freedom of man. Sigismund the First warned Queen Elizabeth against Ivan the Terrible, who sought the Queens hand. Several episodes Of this period were given, faronrable to th.j character of Poland, shewing that she occupied a lofty position for political morality and intellectuality. As Italy clings to the memories of Dante and Petrarch, so Poland, in like manner, cherishes the memories of her patriot king 3 and her poets. The lecturer gave several extracts from one o Poland's most admired poets: one on the death of his daughter, aDd a lyric of exquisite beauty and pathos—"A Mother to her Sleeping Infant. • The great error of the Poles was the aanns3iou of foreign princes to the kingly office, a.nd the influence of these kings corrupted the council of the nation, and gradually destroyed her liberties. It was John Sobieske who saved Poland from the Turks. He was their warrior king, and his fame was universal; even preachers preached respecting his patriotic virtues from the text, " There was a man sent down from Heaven, and his name was John. The lecturer next reviewed the event whichled to the dismemberment of Poland, and paid a-noDlo tribute to Kosciusko, one of Poland s noblest sons, under whose generalship the Poles drove the Russians out of Warsaw,but who ultimately fell beneath the physical power of Prussia when a second dismemberment of Poland took place. Here the lecturer recited Campbells fine lines on the fall of Kosciusko. when " Free dom shrieked, and for a season bid /the world farewell." A sketch was given of the deceptive treaty of Vienna, which led to the furth-r op pression of Poland, and which was singularly called the "Holy Alliance." The constitution of the Government waa reviewed and explained, and Edmund Burkes splendid eulogy thereon quoted. The lecturer censured Napoleon s con duct in quitting Warsaw, and facing the severities of a Russian winter, which was a greater colamity than the war itself. Had. he wintered in Warsaw instead of soing to Mos cow he might have saved his army, from perish ing. Several- very touching episodes were given of Poland in her loneliness and desolation especially the picture of five Poles of different creeds—Protestant, Catholic, and Jew—who were shot by the Cossacks in endeavouring to present a' petition in favour of their liberties. The lecturer concluded his able and interesting lecture by asking what advantages have the world gained by the des truction of Poland, and the annihilation of her Government? The aspects of European affaira are most complicated, and it is impossible lor the most experienced diplomatist to speculate upon the issues of the present crisis, and it iustlce should be re-called to take her seat in the Council of Nations, the re-establishment ot Poland might aid in .checking;, the ever aggressive policy of Russia; still whatever might bl the issue he trusted that, in the end,,the principles of justice and humanity might triumph. (Cheers.) The members of the Choral Society were present, Mr Vincent Rice pre siding at the pianoforte, and the Polish song of Hope, "Lovely May," and other illustrative hymns were sung, Mrs Mitchell, Miss Edger and Mr Harding taking the leading parts. At the close of the lecture, the Key Dr. Purchas proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, seconded by Hon. Mr Chamberhn. and which •was carried by acclamation, and duly acknow ledged by tne Count, who proposed a similar vote to the Bishop, Count De Zaba announced his intimation of giving a free lecture on the study of history, in the Auckland Institute on Thursday evening next,

EXTRAORDINARY COLLAPSE AT THE HELENSVILLE TERMINUS.

PARTIAL STOPPAGE OF WORKS,

Engineers and workmen connected with thefilling-in behind the breastwork of the new railway wharf and terminus at Stew art's Flat, have been astonished, after a week's depositing of stuff; to see the appa rently immovable array of large piles and massive woodwork, against which the earth was being thrown, gradually break up and give way. The partial wreck visibla is of so astounding a character, that it requires to be seen .to be properly understood or be lieved. In order to form somo idea of the appear ance of things, imagine a long row of nearly 700 ft ti piles tlriven along the edge of the Kaipara river: On the land side of the piles, the tide flows over some hundred feet more or less of mud, and into this mud two other tiers of piles have been driven. From the principal row in front substantial beams or ties, are fastened, and in order to form a substantial terminus, the engineer's idea was to fill up the space between the " outer piles and terra firma with earth, and the fol lowing is a statement of the timber used : THE BREASTWORK

will skew how effects have been mis calculated. The outer piles are 35ft long, each 12 x 12, at the commencement of the breastwork (the place where it is in partial ruin). They are driven down into the mud a distance of 28ft. The two inner rows of piles are, each pile, from 12 to 20 inches diameter, driven in 20ft (also burst away). The ties or braces, two to each pile, are 35ft in length, 12 x 6 (these are broken in two or torn off). The sheet piles, 5-inch stuff, are gone out of place with the rest. Only some 100 ft of space has had earth thrown in, and a portion of this extent of breastwork, with its formidable-looking limbers, is forced 4ft or sft out towards the river by one week's filling in, and as above mentioned, presents a most pitiable sight (for the engiueer who fathered the scheme). This portion was considered most secure, as the piles are driven in so much deeper than any other part of the 680 ft., in the centre of which they are driven only 15ft., thus oifering lpss resistance. The prodigious strain to which the whole would be sub jected must be enormous, if true that it will ttjke 30,000 yards of earth to fill lac whole space ; only 100 tons have done the present mischief. Tiie fact that , 200,000 FEET OF TOTARA, nil heart, has been used in this structure will render future action of interest to the public. Mr Beart, tho Inspector, has been a terror to timber merchants; he having throughout been exceedingly strict in passing timber —on one occasion con demning 15 out of 20 piles. This proves the yielding of the structure not to be attributed to inferior materials. A Wel lington engineer is said to have planned it By coming to Helensville at the present juncture he will see the huge timbers gaping with rents, and split asunder —a scene desolate in the extreme (from such an engineer's point of view) —while the two pile-driving machines stand erect upon the structure, in silent condemnation of the enormous blunder perpetrated. Further operations are stayed pending instructions from the Engineer-in-Chief. It is likely that the remainder of the breastwork will be strengthened by means of fresh piles and eictra land ties, a few men are at work with wheelbarrows wheeling out the earth which has already been thrown in, in order to prepare the way, for remodelling the damaged section. Mr Brett, foreman, was the first to observe the shifting of the timber, and acquainted the inspector who at once Avaited on the resident engineer, the result being that work was stopped at this important place, and upwards of twenty men discharged. It is understood that Auckland engineers disapproved from the first of the plan of carrying out this work, but Wellington brains had the preference. Messrs Casey and Son's, Superintending Engineer, is here overhauling the Minnie. The Kina is proving herself a thorough good substitute, and travellers appear very satisfied with the considerate arrangements made. Tho Kina goes on to Port Albert after landing her Wairoa passengers.

Mr Barton said Mr Justice Richmond should have been here before. He should not study his private convenience, and in reply to a remark of the Judge that Mr Travers, the solicitor on the other side was not present, Mr Barton said that no doubt if Mr Travers had appeared and he, Mr Barton, had not, the case would havo been struck ofF. The Judge reprimanded him for making such imputations, which Mr Barton defended on the grounds that ho said nothing disrespectful. The Judge repeatedly insisted upon his sitting down.

"Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use of coal." The value ot coke as a tuel, and a« a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal aud coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs tne smoke or inflammable gases given of! by coal during combustion, and renders the fire hri<j7der, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where. —[Adtt.l
