I thank you for this opportunity of saying these few words, and I congratulate you all present on tho happy consummation of a hope so loug cherished by us all—feeing Tawhiao and his chiefs ana followers in our midst, as our guests aud friends,. Patara Te Tuhi (interpreted by Mr Davis) said : I have nof very much to say to you, because a very creat deal has been si>id about tho satisfaction which we all feel iv respect to this meeting. All that I can soy is that I feel great pleasure in the expres sions of fetling of both side?. I desire that these ideas for goodwill and peace may con tinue and be upheld by you, so that for the future everything may bo as fair and as good as it appears to be at the present time. We have assembled here for the first time, and we eat and drink together as friends. There is ouly one table. I ap prove of this, and lam pleased at it. lam a man of few words, and that is all I have to fay on the present occasion. Paora Tuhaere (Paul, of Orakci) in res ponse to loud call,then spoke. (Interpreted by Mr J. C. Young.) He said :—I shall he very brief indeed. I shall jus1, utter a few words. lam much pleased to hear the sentiments of Tawbiao. This is my word that I am going to speak to you, my own inward word. lam a thorough Auck lander. From my youth upwards I have dwelt among you, and I am'still a resident of Auckland. In those days the father of Tawhiao was resident here also. His sentiments were in the early days—" to take care of tho Europeans, and show regard and love for them." These were the sentiments pi the father of Tawhiao. Now that Tawhiao is in your midst, bis sentiments are the same. I bad a good deal to do in bringing this about; some of the good has come through me. My Btrcngth was exerted in this direction. In 1872 I commenced my journeys towards Tawhiao's district. Through my persistency you see him here this day. Take care to go gently to work so that on both sides things may be properly adjusted. The result, so far, is that you can both eat at the same table. (Cheers.) An adjournment was then made to the tables, which extended in two rows along the southern side ot tho lawn. A cold collation, prepared iv Mr- Canning's best style, was there laid out, aud was dis cussed with evident zest. Mr Firth oc cupied the chair, supported on the light by Tawhiao, Archdeacon Maunsell, and his Worship the Mayor (Mr J. M. Clark), and on the left by Dr Campbell, Bishop Cowic, and Wahanui. Fully 250 guests were provided for. After an excellent dessert had been fin ished, cigars were handed round, supple mented, to the great delight of the Maori visitors, by clay pipes and ligs of aromatic tobacco, which they received with manifest satisfaction.

While the vapour of the fragrant weed, curling aloft in wreaths all round the board, betokened that the cravings of the inner man had been appeased, Mr Firth arose and made a short concluding speech. He said that in old times the people of Auck land had witnessed and taken part in many great processions. They had seen the soldiers landingontbeir wharves with drums beating ami colours flying, and they had seen many demonstrations einue quite as im poaingand of amore peaceful character. But heaskodtnemii they had ever joined inapro cession with such heartfelt joy as the one that bad escorted Tawbiao through their streets last week. 20,009 people bad voluntarily assembled to bid "lawliiao and his chiefs welcome, and in this they bad shown that the triumphs of peace were indeed greater than the victories of war. Ho thanked the members of the company for their presence there that day, but, before concluding, he would tell them a short story having an application which Tawhiao's remark re difference of colour suggest [Mr Firth then related in a humorous way an incident vihich occurred in a railway carnage, viz , how two buxom damsels from tbe Waikato country being captivated by tbe handsome appearance of two Maori chiefs who were fellow travellers ventured to pass them under review, commenting in Innocent ignorance of tbeir vis-a-vis's knowledge of the English tongue, ou their various good points. During this criticism the Maori chiefs, with the silent gravity characteristic cf their race, moved not & muscle, though they understood every word; but when one <f. the girla said, "I would like to kiss that handsome Icllowbpposite," both chiefs roared with un controllable laughter. The girls—well—the girls didn't know where to put their faces ] Ho thought that .after that the fusion of the two races was not such an unlikely thing He then con cluded by ugain thanking, tbe visitors for their presence—not, he said, as a com pliment to himself, but as an outward sign to the Maoris that the people of New Zea land appreciated the great event which was being celebrated that day. Mr Firth then called for three cheer* for Tawbiao and his people, which were very heartily given. In response to a call from Mr McMillan, cheer* were also given for Mr Firth.

The guects then re-mounted the convey ances, and after cheering the host and ■hustess, were rapidly driven to town, arriv ing there about half-past seven.

TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

Tawhiao, who is at present the guest of Major and Mrs Mair at the North Shore, came across by tho ferry steamer at nine o'clock,just as the Kotomahana was coming alongside the wharf. The king expressed great astonishment at the size of trie canoe, and promised himself a visit thereto before his departure. Of all the places about Auckland visited by Tawhiao, the North Shore pleases him best. He says if ever he comes to live in Auckland he would- reside in that charming marine suburb, and build a cottage there. '1 his shows that Tawhiao docs not regard his taking up hia residence in Auckland us a very remote contingency.

The king was met on the wharf by several members of the Sightseein? Com mittee, and escorted to Mr Bartlctt's studio, whore his portrait was taken in European costume. Wahanui was photographed in several positions, and pictures were also secured of teveral other prominent members of the King's party. From Mr Bartlett's studio, Tawhiao proceeded to Messrs Bycroft and Co.'s spacious flour mills in Shoitlanrl street, where they were shown the various contrivances for turning the grain into flour, the action of the machinery being ex plained. This afternoon Tawhiao embarked in one of the German man-o?-war Habichts boats and was rowed to that Te3Ecl. Tawhiao was shewn round the vessel, and appeared greatly surprised and interested as each of the curiosities were pointed ont.

MR DALLEN AND THE DINNER TO TAWHIAO.

(To the Editor.) SIR,—A few explanatory remarks are re quired from me in answer to your very con demning remarks re tbe banquet for the Maori King and party. Allow me to state, in the first place, that the time given to me was half-paat seven. Everything was got ready—side tables arranged all round the hall, containing spare kuivep, forks, bread, jug beer, wine, &c, &c. At 5.30 we went to dross, leaving two men there. When I returned, at 7.10, the hall and table were crowded, side tables removed to make othei s with; and, in fact, our previous arrange^ inents capsized. Instead ot me having, as I thought, ten minutes to instruct my twelvo waiters and three carvers it was all confusion, Again, I was told to lay for 120 persons. I laid for 144, and 180 came, consequently I had no tables, cloths, or glasses for the extra number, and about 40 or 50 gentleman, all willing to assist, were running about the hall in our way, and would have communicated with each other to make thing 3 morn agreeable, only for that splendid band, blcas them, in the eallery, which all the time the confu sion was on cut off our communication from one to another by speech. Everyone was working their hands about as if tney were dumb. I will leave you to guess the state we were in. When the fish arrived— ten minutes late, through the carter having met a friend on bia way to the hall —to my astonishment I found the schnapper were not sweet; the mullet and flat-fish were quite right. Schnapper was not very bad, but you know how fish smell if only a little queer. Wo thanks duo to tbe fish-monger who sent it. He had tho order as soon as I had, wdicU was only 48 hours' notice—certainly not a big notice to have things successful. My cook did not ebserve it before cooking it. My orders Irom the committee were to serve tbe dinner ala russe. I was not instructed to send it as a Maori dinner, but through confusion aDd delay we served it very un satisfactorily ; and in conclusion, J will state that, Had their number been inside 140, as stated, we should have got through very fairly, except that part where the fish was not sweet. All the other food waa good, and enough for about thirty persons returned. Of course, the dessert did not run so far as I would like. Why? Because they, through being early at the tables, ate nearly all the dessert before the fish came. I expect they thought it was intended for them to do so. Anywhere else they havo had all food placed on the tables at one time, and a much better plan. Thanking you kindly to insert this truthful explana tion, I remain, &c., W,; V, DAM.EN, Con fectionor, Queen-street.

GOLDFIELD AT TUHUA.

About the month of January last, Hone Werahiko, the Prospector of the Te Aroha goldfield, and one of the pioneers ot the Thames, opened a correspondence with Tawhiao concerning the prospecting of the supposed auriferous belt of country running through that unsettled tract of country which lies between the Pirongia mountain in the North and the Tuhua district ou the head waters of the Warjganui in tho South. Hone was willing to under take the task of prospecting, promising the King an interest were anything discovered, and the King wrote in a strain favourable to the proposal, likewise asking Hone to meet him at Kopua in March. Whether the would-be proepeetor met Tawhiao or other wise we are not aw»re,atarjy rate.from some unexplained cause the project was permitted to lie in abeyance. During the present visit of Tawniao to Auckland, however, Hone Werahiko has, through the medium of an Auckland gentleman, re-Opened negotiations on the subject, and we have reason to believe that the result will be the departure of a prospecting expedition to the district leferred to. From time to time stories, all clad with a certain amount of vagueness and uncertainty, it must be admitted, have been circulated concerning tho auriferous treasures deposited in the terra incognita of^Tobua; indeed, some of the pictures drawn might conjure up to the imagination a veritable Xl Dorado. Whether these reports bo false or vera cious, the fact remains that there are evidences that gold does exist in the region referred to, which was indi cated by Dr. Hochßtetter as gold-bearing, and a hard-beaded practical man like Boae Werahiko, who has already traversed the country, is not likely to enter upon such an expedition without having very good reason to believe that a successful result will crown bis efforts. The beneficial re- Bulls that would accrue to this city through the discovery of a gold - field in the centre of the island are incalculable, and even though the quest for the precious metal terminated in disappointment, a great and lasting good would be done. Gold has been tbe great coloniser ot the southern hemisphere, and just aa the appearance of the honey bee in the prime val solitudes of Ameiica indicates to the Bed Indian the approach of tbe paleface, so in these lands does the appearance of the hardy gold-seeker beyond the frontiers of European occupation mark the pushing forward of the ramparts of civilization ana progress,
