SIR DONALD:MCLEAN KUIiOGISED. In the course of a conversation I had with Tawhiao the., other day-, ho spoke ia the warmest terms of Sir Douald McLean and said'if he had Jived he (Tawhiao) would have been out long ago, ana Sir Donald McLean woald have been his chief counsollor, Hb meant to have closed with Donald's terms, but meanwhile ho died. Theiewas no European he could compare with McLean. OPENING OF LAND. Tawhiao would undoubtedly also have accepted. Sir George Grey's proposals at Kopua but for the withdrawal of tbe Haira. pipi lands between the holding of the Hiku raDgi and Kopua meetings. Tawhiao, said faith kad been broken with him, and he had no confidence in proceeding with nogo tistions. This decision he has since re gretted, and if anj thing equally favourable wore offered him bo would doubtless'jump | nt it, but that ia not probable, Now" the i danger to be apprehended and guarded against is lest these lands.fall piece by piece into the hands of a fow speculators. The process is already beftUD, and will, iv j all probability, go oil unless some under-,( standing is arrived at with the Government' thut will open the country by a more satis- ' factory process. . ; ■;. HI J THE SETTLEMENT'EN'FETiTii'^ Wbatiwtiatijiop yesteraay presented nil ■ tho characteristic features of *a Maori ' settlement on great Ra'a days. From thtoftW secret recesses the visitors produced many . coloured articles of European attire, with ' wfcich 'to. deck .themselves,' and ' .^hcl'r!1,!,1 costumes moving.botwcen the tentSjWhorevl i and [numerous camp fires, formed a; < picture'.riflt easily, forgotten. : .

The songa of welcome Were-run., i dered with great vigour, and the mats pre- i sented: to Tawhiao afterwards were rarest and valuable. , Three cooked pigs aud l many kits of c'boked potatoes' were pro- j -j sentcd to the 'givefs of mats"before they j -v dispersed for their mid-day meal, which they s disposed'of on the ground oh which the \ meeting was held. Tawhiao talks of making a trip■ to Sydney after the metting is over, taking about a dozen follower wich him, and an in terpreter. ... , . r , f , } TRAGT DISTRIBU rING. '' ' 1" Archdeacon Maunsell, after the proceed ings were over, was busy, distributing tj traota, and received but scant thanks from v many for so doing, and many jeers from n others. Tho missionaries are evidently no v f wourites here. , It is rumoured thnt Tawhiao will hark D back to his old cry, " Give me back Wai- J kato/' but if this is done it will only be to • pacify ihenialconte'nta, of whom there are c not a few of various kinds. The speeches yesterday were purely coinplunentary and ' unimportant. "Mr' Bush' represented the a Government, and was presented by Tawhiao Cl .with a large and valuable mat. . : .<■.;{ f!'

Tawhiao sent over word this rrorning telling all tho Europeans to bo present to day;- iCn "' FUKTfIER POSTPONEMENT. In response to a message from Tawhiao, all the Europeans here assembled atWhati whatihoe this morning, the weather being magnificent. ■ After 'waiting some' tirrle' they sent a messenger asking when ; the korero would begin. Te Ngakau came out and said, "I hava come out to announce to you, just as the Ifative Lands Court does, to all assembled hero, that the Court is opened, -but will be ad journed till to-morrow, In accordance with all your, European usaKos." .

OPPOSITION PLANS.

No-Confidence Motion Contem plated.

[Fhom Our Own Correspondent.]

WELLINGTON, this afternoon. I have learnt on good authority that tho active direction of Opposition tactics is to be confided to Mr Macandrew, aud that after the moving of the Address-in-Reply at the opening ot Parliament, he will table a direct no-confidence motion.

Heads have been counted, and it is thought that the Opposition are strong enough to venture to throw down the gage of battle.

There ia very little political gossip at present that is worth wiring, but I can give the afore-mentioned report with the assur* ance that it Is entitled to credence,

MINING NEWS.

We wako extracts as follows from mine managers' reports to hand this morning :—

Nkav North Devon.—When stripping the reef on Tuesday lait the luud of a cross vein, running across tha roof, was cut. The manager does not yet know what effect it will havu on the reef.

WAini,—Since last report tha cross-cut has been completed and the manager in tended to start driving east and west early thii week, should the hoppers hare been completed. KttUBKN ;PARR.—rThe manager reports that he is through the hard belt of country at last, and has how got a nice tandstonc country. He expects to come'upon quartz before driving very far. >l SrJcCKSS (Coromandel). —There is no material change in the cross reef, but still good prospects of gold in breaking down. Thd manager intends following the reef as far as payable before driving for it from the other level. On the low level, the ground has changed for the better, and a fine looking reef, about six inches thick, with good-lookiDg-stone, has been cut; there arc good indications of gold about it,

Just m .Tim « (Waitoktiuri).— The drive going north from the winzi) is now ia 25ft. '1 he ground is much better, but the reef is disordered, no gold being seen. Work has been stopped for the present, and driving commenced on the reef going south, which ■ bus improved during the week. Good dabs of course gold are frequently seen in small vein's on,'tEe footwall portion of the reef. There is three foet of sandstone carrying three small veins, the whole to be shot dawn and picked'over. .There are 18 or 20 tona, of quartz in the. paddock.

The Union Beach ground, though only worked a depth of 200 feet, paid.fEIO.OOQ in dividends, A great block off uhoccupied ground in the immediate vicinity of the rich run of gold is now ahout to ha developed, and there is little doubt that rich returns will accrue. The Juat-in-time machinery was formally started to work during the week. The United ground has just been taken up, and! "-when the lona has succeeded in obtainingihelnecessary facilities for start ingv.workit.isfti'be hoped that operations on flic beach, will soon bo in.full swing, and good times "f raining activity be pnce: mpr ( e experienced. .

The Colonial have also crushed nine tops, but tho result is not yet known. Probably it will average, with specimens, lOozs. to the,ton. . ' . . -: '

Prospecting operations have beens'opped 'during the week by. tho heavy do\ypfalls of rain, and also by" this unfortunato incident of the German tourist being loat. Miners, with that warm-hearted readiness to assist in distress, tu>ned oat day after day ln.friiitless featchof the unfortunate man.

In the Success the contractor is still going ahead with the I low level.' The face is how; entering kindlier country. "I A party of prospectors who have been at work, for some time between Coromandol and the Thatnes have traced gold up to the summit of one of the back ranges, and discovered several largo reefs running in soft; sandstone ground.

-" Tokatea.—The'country in main level has continued^.without a change, hard shooting: and hard 'to break out, but the tight belt has not interfered with the leader; it has main tained its. usual size from six inches to a foot Jin thickness, and the quartz is of a promising ...character.; . On Saturday last small dabs of gold showed in the stone, also a few colours could be seen in' to-day's breaking-down. Intermediate' Level, —The rise going up from the intermediateievel is in hard country, but .carries a strong leader about nine inches thick,, and showing'!; little gold through. the stone. "The dig that we had in starting cut out just 'sfbbve the back, of the level, but is again making in the'roof which will help us con sfderably in pushing the work ahead. Winze. '— ln the winze going down in the van 1 level the leader is partly on the footwall and 'in the dig;. all the quartz broken out from;the .latter has shown gold, and in many cases might (t'e termed picked stone. The footwall por tion has; not been broken into, but gold can be •.seenin.piie or two places on the face. All .'the, quartz that'comes from, the'rise and out of thd winze, judging by the show will be good ['crijshin'g stuff/ arid from' appearances likely to till rise and winze meet; we haye^abjjut 34 feet to go to ■ connect the 'two.—j.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

AMEETJUa of this Board was held this afternoon, in the offices, Wyndham-street, Present—Messw Moat (chairman), Luke, Prime, Goldie, Moss, Laishley, and Clark (Mayor). Correspondence.—A letter was read from the Minister of Education respecting tho proposed grant to the Girls High Scho->l, informing the Board that £1,000 bad been placed on the estimates for the Girls' High School.

Scholarships.—Mr Moss introduced this matter, aud said that at the board of Governors of the Auckland College and Grammar School, it appeared that it was the determination of the Governors to alter the condition under which tho scholarships are to be competed for, and if tho ages oi competitors are to be changed, it would lead to ycjy serioiw results.—Mr Clark explained the matter which was Introduced at the Board of Governors, and which was more of a conversational nature than otherwise, Mr l'cnton submitted a draft in respect of alterations, etc., shew ing that tho boys who came from primary. schools interfered with the system of ar rangement hitherto acted upon in classes competing for scholarships. —Mr Moss said he had. ventured to bring the matter forward, as bo felt that the Board would resist the proposed change as 'it would tend to separate the Urammar School from other schools in the province.—Mr Luke said it should be clearly understood that no alteration' in I ages of' competing scholars could be made during the present year.— Mr Laishley said so long as the matter re mained iv tbe handfl of the governors, go long would the Board of Education have a voice in it.—After some remarks from Mr Moat and Mr Goldie, Mr Moss said the last .Grammar School Bill passed the House in these minutes. He mentioned this to show the necessity for vigilance on the part of this Board. —Mr Clark said it was the desire of the governors to work in harmony with the Board. Here the matter dropped. Mb Laishley's Motion,—Mr Laishley then proponed his resolution forbidding the sale of school books or material by teachers, and prohibiting them from receiving here after any discount, commission, or allow ance whatsoever, in any way either directly or indirectly, on or'in connection with the same, tbo 'Executive Committee making arrangements to ensure supplies of books and requisites at the lowest prices, He hoped that no outsider would interfere with the Board In .coming to a decision. TJaer complaints of ten made to him by pareats were loud and bitter in respect of the fre quent changes made in books, and at every change : the parents were put to tho expense of a new set of books The cost to each child of the thousands which attended our public schools, in con sequence.of the change amounted to 2s per annum, and the annual amount altogether reached something like £1600, and the outlay generally amounted to £2000 per annum. He considered that the Board might be an excellent cus tomer to a London house, and ac the Bame time prove of pecuniary advantage in the diatributiqn of books. He considered that 55 per cent, might be saved in the purchase of books were the Board to take the matter into its own hands. — Mr Clark said he entirely disagreed with Mr Laishley on his several motions. The main object of the Board was to give aa educa tion at the lowest possible price, and in this view he agreed with tbe mover. To adopt the plan to supply the books wholesale, in cluding co»t ot transit, etc, would make but a slight difference. He did not believe that the occasional change of books pro ceeded from interested motives, He thought the having a book-store in connection with the Board would be attended with HI effects To introduce ench a system would create a new department in" the office, and be attended with bad results. He wonld rather the system remain as at present, unless some, better scheme could be de vised, Mr Luke also opposed the proposi tions; and shewed that tbe teachers were subject to many expenses in order to meet' intervening demands, and in many instances, in consequence of bad debts, the system, was a loss to the teachers; he' should certainly oppose Mr Laiehley's motions.

This Company has been formed for the pnr- Toao of working the old Union Beach Com pany's Mine—including the New Holden Pah md the right to mine the foreshore—which tne jroprletora have reoontly purchased, together Yith the whole of the Union Beach Company's Uine and expensive Plant. Although tho Old Union Beach Company's vine was not worked to a greater depth than 100 feet, It paid £22,93710a In Dividends, between 876, and May, 1881. The principal reason why this Mine was not worked to a greater depth than 200 feet waa the llstance of the shaft from the beat paying reef,' ihd the necessity to sink it to a greater depth md to oroasoTit to the main reef. -•.■'■ The Direotora, acting doubtless under the idvibo of their Manager, declined to Incur tho ospoaarbiUty' ol so large an. outlay, being tnrapporied by the payment, of the neoesoary Jails. In consequence, the Mine, in all reaaos iblo probability as rioh as ever, beooming v'etehted with liabilities, was sold by auction, Tlth all equipment, machinery, and plant. ■ ■, The Dlreotors of the New Company, in order o avoid the difficulty as well as the expense if (inking the main shaft, and of oroas-catting o tho riohost reof, propose to use a patent team pump, to bo placed io position at the bot om level and to sink a winze shaft immediately toon the lodes. Tho steam iiump can operate fl'aotively at almo-t any depth. 'Cha cast of tteai'A pump, in oitu, inclnding all onrie'otionn, will not exceed £200. An soon ss the patent steam pnmp has bean Ireci, work will be started upon the reef, and hero exists no res eon why in a short time this dine should not again beowie Dividend-paying, An effiolent Manager - and Engineer will-be mmodiately appointed, • ■ / ~-■ 25,000 shares aro now offered to the Publlo md the Shareholders In the late Companiea at me Bhilllngand tlzponoe eaoh, TheProprletoro etain the Btme number as paid up to one' hilling and sixpence per share.
