land Exhibits,

His Worship tha Mayor has received the following telegram from the promoters of the International Exhibition at Christ.

church:— ■■• Christchurch, Tuea 'ay ni«nt, To the Mayor of Auckland,— Mr Brott, of the t>TAK, Mr Oppe-nbciroer, and other exhibitors, state that Auckland manufacturers would bavo exhibited ex tensively if opportunity had been given them, and that Freycs s instructions were not sufficiently definite. We are most anxious that the whole of Wew Zealand should be represented, and are will in" to provide additional space for Auckland manufactures if they nre willing to exhibit them now.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL EEPORTEU )

CHRISTCHUWJH, Tuesday night., THE " Queen's weather," which so propiti ously made a break in the miserable time wo have had since last Saturday morning, abandoned us shoitly after the inaugural ceremony was brought to a close. In fact, the sun can be said to have shone forth brightly only during the hour of the cere mony. ' Notwithstanding this drawback, the attendance at the Exhibition yesterday was very large, and to-day several thousand persona had paid for admission. V ester day, up to five o'clock, 20,000 persons passed the turnstiles at the main entrance, and after 7 o'clock, when the Exhibition reopened,between4oooandsoooentered. Of these 1,076 paid the extra sixpence, charged for admission to the special Art Gallery. When lighted np with gas in the evening the various avenues, well filled as they were with visitors, presented a very gay appearance, and nfiorded some idea of what the spectacle will be when all the exhibits are in their places. It is not my intention to attempt at present anything like a full descrip tion of the Exhibition. The state of unpreparednes is such that justice could be done neither to the exhibitors nor to readers, who look to your reports for details and comparisons formed upon com plete data. Here and there an exhibitor lias his bay got in order, but his neighbour, displaying, or rather intending to display a similar class of exhibits, has not commenced to unpack them, or, when they are coming from a distance, may not have received them fiom the ship's side. It is manifest theref«re, that any report pretending to be exhaustive, founded upon the things as they now appear, must bs so imperfect as to be really valueless. To become familiar with all the details of such a great Industrial and Art Ex hibition, as I believe the New Zealand International Exhibition to be, it is advantageous to leisurely watch its progress, from the state of all but chaos in which it is at pressnt, to the perfectien which it will attain before the awards of the judges are given. I shall confine myself, to-day to giving your readers a general idea of the best way in which to get to see such of the exhibits a3 have been placed in position. On entering the building, if the visitor turns to the right, he -Brill find himself iv the European Avenue. As already pointed out, tho term is a uihnorncr, as there are in this avenue quite aa I many American as there are Euro pean exhibits. But whether the ex- i iiibitors he European or American er Asiatic, they can claim to be in a greater state of preparedness than any other. Pas si Dg from this into the American Avenue •one gets into a perfect wilderaes3 of boxes, bales, and packing cases. The Avenue, more resemble 3 a Custom-house shed than any portion of an International .Exhibition, The Australian Avenue is a little more for ward, and one can move between the bays without having to navigate seas of impedi ments ; bnt there are not more than two or three exhibitors, if so many, whose preparations are complete. Raving by this route reached the end of the Australian Avenue, the visitor finds himself at the very beautiful fernery at the opposite extremity of the building to that at which he entered. He has traversed the outer circuit of the eastern halt of the 'building between him and the main entrance to the Concert Hall and the Special Art Gallery, and the route that one would here naturally take would be through these to the main entrance, thence round the outer cir cuit to the western half of the building. But ,the lessees pf the Special A rt Gallery i charge 6d extra, and for economical reasons evidently keep only one entrance to the gallery open, thus compelling the visitors to go round half the building either to get into the gallery or to leave t!ie building. Messrs Joubert and Twopenny have made a mistake in allowing the lessees of the Art Gallery to thus block up the main avenue. Visitors havicg once paid for an entrance expect to have full access to every part of the building, and very naturally resent being stuck up for extra payment before they have been many minutes inside, Por my own part 1 do not see upon what, principle Mr Kitchen is allowed to charge for permission to see his not very choice col lection of pictnres and to block np the main thoroughfare of the Exhibition. This will hive to be altered if the promoters re csiva ..the patronage which in all other respects they deserve. If the visitor follows (the route indicated he will find his way iback to the main entrance through the Otazo, Southlaud,and Canterbury Avenues, %o all which the sam c remarks apply. Very little is ready for inspection, ana mach ef what is ready waa to-day covered up from view. The implement section alone re iriaina to be examined, and there again all is confusion and' turmoil. Probably a month will elapse before every exhibit is in |ts place, and the Exhibition has reached that condition of completeness of which at present it only gives promise.

THE MURDER OF LIEUT. LUCKRAFT.

' SYDNEY, April sth.

H.M.S. COEMORANT arrived, with tho ilag half-mast high. Sbe reported that she Vis i ced Espiritu Santo on the 16 March.

They were guided by the native to a small island adjoining the vil lage, capturing two women; the rest were disturbed by the: barking of dogs, and plunged at once into the thicket. They ojjencd fire. Lientenant Luckraft, who dashed in the direction of the liriDg, was mortally wounded. A a 'the natives reached further inland tho detachment retired. Luckraft died before reaching the ship.

THE GOVERNOR AND MINISTERS.

An Exact Account of the Inter' view with the Governor.

(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

WELLINGTON, this day. What actually took place in regard to the Premier advising the Governor to send for Sir Geo. Grey waa aB follows :—The Hon. Mr Johnston, in handing the resigna tion of the ministry to the Governor, informed His Excellency that he was the bearer of a communication from the Premier, giving bis advice ns to who should he sent lor. His Excellency at once declined to rcceii-e auy such commu nication, remarking that it was not usual under the circumstances for a Governor to lvceive advice of the kind. Consequently, the advice was not officially given or received, although Mr Johnston was quite ready with it.

The Ministers Assembled in Wel lington.

Mr Bryce returned to Wellington last night, and Messrs Dick and. Johnston this morning. All the Ministers are now here except the Attorney-General.

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. THE OPINION OF THE CANTER'

BURY "PRESS."

The " Press " in a long article points to the great services rendered to the country during their term of office, and concludes, " If they had only succeeded in accomplish ing one half the work they have got through it would have been more than sufficient to secure for tfiem the gratitude of the people of Now Zealand. They have not met ely reformed the iiuaoces, restored the public credit, cleansed the Native Office, and re-organised the Civil Service, but at tho same time have passed a long array of measures, the beneficial effect of which will be felt in this Colony for all time. We feel sure that New Zealand will long have ciuse to feel grateful to them for what they have been instrumental ia accom plishing. To the credit of Mr Hall especi ally, it should never be forgotten that it has been at great personal sacrifice of himself ho has so long retained office—that it was only the strong sense of duty which he felt he owed to the country which prevented him from retiring long ago.

TAWHIAO'S MEET ING.

We are informed on good authority that the Waikato tribes,who have been repre sented as the strongest advocates for the great May meeting projected by Tawhiao, are considerably divided in opinion with regard to it, and that a large propor tion have decided neither to attend nor countenance it. The Mokau natives are not going to take any part in it, and at present they are busily engaged in pre paring for the Lands Court which com. mences its sittings in their district very shortly. The Lower Waikatos also (Major Te Wheoro's tribe) have signified their resolve to hold aloot frem the meeting, and to furnish no supplies of food, Tawhiao and his immediate relatives are receiving no help from the other' tribes in building the arge house at Whatiwbatihoe, and from all appearances the meeting, for wiuch prepara tions have been going on bo long, will be but sparsely attended.. Several iielson natives came up by th« Wanaka, to attend the meeting. These are the decendanta of the Waikato native* tho were d.iven out by Hongi, and who took «P their abode at Wakapuaka. They have, however, never tort their tribal tradi tions.. _____—«——

CORRESPONDENCE.

MR C. O. DAVIs'S MISSTATEMENTS,

(To the Editor.)

SIB,— Kindly permit me a few words of correction ia reipcct of tome glaring mis statements that appeared in Monday's " Herald " in a letter purporting to be from its reporter at To Awainutu, but which ia evidently from none other than Mr C. O. Davis. I deny positively his statement of Kewi'a opinion regarding Wetere's letter, for I have just had a long inter view with the Ngatitsaniapnto chief, iv the course of which he never made the olfchtest. allusion to the matter that Mr Davis seeks to give prorainenpo to. If Kewi had felt at all aggrieved about it ho would not have Imitated to mention it. In stead of being anuoyed with mo he was most friendly, aDd as a proof of his confi dence ia my action I may state that I have come down to Auckland at his express wish for the purpose of seeing that surveyors nrs appointed to make surveys of two large blocks on the north-we«tern side of Lake Taupo. The uocessary appli cations for getting some bloiks put through the Court wen written by me iv Vcwi's presence. If anyone is to be impeached it will bo Mr C. O. Davis himself, and Tawbiao also, for having published in the " Herald " a letter professing to be from the latter to Wetero and the Mokau natives. So far as Wetere's letter i« con cerned, I had nothing whatever to do with it, beyond writing it out at his dictation, and, at his request, translating it for him. The whole thing had its origin in Tawhiao's re puted letter, which was published by Mr C. O. Davis, and suLsequenlly denied by Wetere. The report that Wabanulhas gone to Mokau in order to make enquiries re Wetere's letter, is also wholly incurrect, as he is atill at the settlement near Kuiti, engaged in collecting food for the May meeting. Perhaps Mr I)avis would be better able to explain the manner in which, the MS, of Wetere's letter, after being for warded to the editor of the " Herald," found its way into his hands, for the purpoat of forwarding it on to Tawhioo. A little light thrown upon this novel proceduie would be very acceptable.—l am, &c,
