THE MAORI KING IN LONDON.

(FROM OUR LONDON COKUKSPONriENT.)

Our London correspondent, writing via San Francisco on July 17th, says: "Within the past ton days the Colonial Ollico has put an effectual extinguisher on the social preslir/e of our native visitors by sending round to the newspapers and other interested

parties a private memo, stating that neither in New Zealand nor anywhere else is Tawhao recognised as "King" of the; Maoris. Now, although this statement may be dn facto correct, I consider it thoroughly unjustifiable and wholly misleading. The inference persons unacquainted with Now Zealand native affairs naturally draw is that Tawhiao is a self-crowned impostor. Tlioy ore consequently turning their backs on him, which isn't fair. Certain tribes of natives may refuse lo acknowledge nl legianco lo Tuwhi.-io, just as certain tribes of Zulu's denied Cclewayo's rule, but us a matter oi tact, tlio ono lias as much right to call himself "King" of the .Maoris, as tho oilier had to stale himself King of the Zulus. The immediate effect of flic action of tlio Colonial Ollice was to render Mrs Saintsbury's reception at Dcmetro House (of which more anon) :i semi-failure. Tho Lord Mayor, members of Parliament, am I social stars, who had previously accoptcd all with one accord either sent an excuse or stayed away, wit bout, formula.. Sinoo then visitors lo see tho King have been few and far between, ami the only persons who extend hospitality to the .Maoris aro friends of Chosson (of tho Aborigines Protection Society), or Anglo - Colonists. Most signiliecnt of all, tho newspapers havo loft oil'paragraphing Tawhiao's movements. Tawhiao'_ Chum. Tawhiao has made a friend. Amongst the many tailors bo periodically visits in search of novelties in the way of clothing is a "cutter' named Young, a very taciturn, moody man, without a civil word for any one. After visiting Young's shop once or twice, Tawhiao seemed strongly drawn to him. Neither can understand a word the other says, yet they obviously appreciate being together. Tawhiao now spends a great part, of each day smoking his pipe in Young's lit.Uu shop parlour, with the moody tailor himself' as his only companion, Maori Ingratitude. None of the Maoris appear to bo in tho loast grateful for tho kindness and hospi tality that is being shown them. They tako everything done for their pleasure as ti matter of course. This, perhaps, is natural, but I don't like the way Major To Whcoro has behaved to the chatelaine of Dcmetro House. When Mis Saintsbury accepted the Maoris as inmates, she not only inconvenienced herself consider ably and ran the risk of losing several per manent boarders, but absolutely received tho party for a weekly sum barely sufficient to cover expenses. Instead of being grate ful for this and for her caro of them, it seems that tho Major has all along been quietly on the look-out for cheaper rooms, and would leave Demetre House at a moment's notice if he could gut anyone to take them for a shilling or two a week less. The other Maoris (to do them justice) appear to appreciate their present quarters, anil to be by no means anxious to quit them; but as tho Major holds the purse, I expect they will have to do as he pleases. One thing, however, is certain : wherever they move to they'll have to pay more than tlioy do now. Maoris, Meetings, and Mussels. On Friday evening (duly -I) the Maoris attended a large reception at the house of Mr Theodore Fry, -M. P.. on Queen's Cate. Prior to setting out they were neatly fixed 111> by tho "motherly" M.'s Saintsbury, who, after adorning the dusky neck of each native with a white tie, commenced to turn in their waistcoats so as to give the latter an appearance of evening dress. The King submitted to this process with good grace, so did tho Major, but when To Tuhi came to have his shirt exposed ho expostulated, crying, "No! no! me shame," and then made some caustic observations in Maori, which Skidmore told me bore reference to certain dn-olleO' damsels f hoy had scon at the Kotanin fete a few nights previously. The reception at (.tteen'sGatewasprincijinlly political. Among_t others the Maoris were introduced to Mr .1. K. Cross, M.P. j Mr Wootlall, M.l. ; Sir W. Mi-Arthur. M.P. ; Mr Mappiu, M.P. ; Mr Samuel Smith. M.1.: .Mr Dickson* M.P. ; Mr Richard Tindlatcr; Mr W. A, Well., M.P. ; Mr A. Pease, M.P. : Mr Isaac Wilson, M.P. ; Mr W. H. Lcatluim ; Mr Barron ; Mr Cropper, M.P. ; Mi-.lames Howard; Mr Willis, and ~-everal lessor lights of the Liberal party. During Hie evening the King made a short speech, in the course of which ho ac knowledged tho supremacy of tho Queen, and avowed that his 'feelings to all " paU-has " were now of tlio friendliest and most pacific description. Major To Whcoro followed in tin- same .-train, -..plaining tint they had come to Eiiglaud to get certain hind dilliculiies permanently settled. The Kov. Mr Spencer acted as interpreter. After supper the King, the Major, lloti, and Te Tulii entertained the company with Mvo of their war .-onty. winch were greatly ' appreciated. The following morning was spent potter ing about as usual. In tho evening the Maoris went to the Comedy Theatre to see the " M ascot te." They all fell passionately in lovo with pretty Florence St. John, but could not bo persuaded that the per forma tec was anything remarkable. The Empire and the Alhainbra are tho theatres they swear by. tin .Sunday tho whole patty spent the ■ day quietly at Demetre House. I naked Major Te Whcorn if ho were going to church. "No," ho replied, "tho Lord says that as wo'vo been twice to West minster Abbey and couldn't got in, we needn't go again." This is v fact. The great business of shopping was re sinned with renewed ardour on Monday. After lunch Major To Whoro announced his in tention of purchasing some mussels (very unhealthy at this time of the year). None could be got at respectable fishmongers', so, accompanied by Mr Preston and Skidmore, the misguided Maori set oil' for an adouriforous locality known iy_ Leather Lane. Here Skidmoyo bought a largo Hour bag, Into which tho .Major shot 25 quarts < f stale molluscs, pin-elm. od from tho frowsy proprietor of an itinerant fish-barrow. Ho then shouldered his prey and returned in triumph to Demetre House. What Mrs Saintsbury said (or swore) deponent knoweth not, but the Maoris' room smelt of highly llavourcd she'! fish for days after. My only wonder is I hat they wero not all dreadfully ill. Any European who nto such horrible stuff would be, Tho Salisbury Hotel Conference. On Monday evening, tho Btb instant, Tawhiao and his chiefs dined with Mr T. Suthurst, of tho Temple, at tho Salisbury llotol, Fleet-street, and a sort of conference took plaeo with reference to the political business of tho mission. Amongst those present were Mr James Howard, M.P., Mr Alex. McArthur, M.P., Mr \V, Fowl jr. M.P., Mr W. M. Ton-ens, M.P., Mr Cropper, M.P,, Mr Theodore Fry, M.P,, General Steele, Mr Chosson, Colonel and Mrs Astloy Sparkes, Hie Kov. W. Hawkins, Mr and Lady Frances YVarburton, Colonel and Mrs Strange Hutson, Mr Kerry Nieholls, &c. Sir John Lubbock promised to attend, but at the last moment begged to bo excused, owing to an attack of gout, so the chair was taken by Mr Sutherst,

Major To Wheoro made a long, rambling speech about land court grievances, which, even as ably interpreted by My Spencer, was inexplicable to tlie majority of the audience, So far as could bo gathered, he attributed most of the troubles which have accumulated on the Maori nation to the Land Courts. Several tyihe. liad, ho said, been hopelessly impov erished through their r.otion, Mr Kerry Nieholls, whoso book on tho King Country is just passing through the press, con firmed the Major's statements, and drew an affecting picture of the miseries to which Maoris who soil their lands to dishonest speculators for a mess of pottage arc sub ject. Mr Chosson then got up, and in a few lucid sentences explained that ono of tlio chief objects the Maoris had in view was the establishment under tho Queen of a native administration In purely native districts,

On the motion of Mr Alex. McArthur, M.P., seconded by tlio Kov, \V. Hawkins, tho meeting expressed Its sympathy with the mission of the King and bis chiefs, and its earnest hope that the Colonial Office would endeavour to secure justice to the native race, Subsequently the King himself (moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman), made a little speech. He said be wished to explain why he objected to roads and railways being made through Maori lands. It was not tho roads and railways themselves he minded, but the fact that wherever they wore mado the Europeans seized five miles on each side of the lino as woll, and that without com pensation This remark elicited touch laughter at tho time, and led to the "Pall Mall Gaeette " observing that the Kin" is clearly not such a barbarian as he is some times represented to be, The Temperance Pete, On Tuesday, July 8, Tawhiao and his chiefs were present at tlio monster temper" anco feto of the National Leaguo (whicli

includes every teetotal society in England), at the Crystal Palace. About 11 a.m. two well-horsed carriages drew upbefore Demetre House, and in these the party drove down very comfortably to Sydenham. On their arrival they were met at tho gates of the Palace by "20 Good Templars in full re galia," who conducted them with much cmprexxmenl to the Opera Theatre. Hero many thousand Blue Ribbon Army soldiers had already assembled. On the platform were Sir Wilfred Lawson and other leading lights of the United Kingdom Alliance, and to each and all of them Tawhiao and the members of his suite were individally intro duced.

When this business was over the meeting commenced. Sir 'Wilfred Lawson initiated matters with a speech, in his usual semi frivolous manner. Ho was followed by several clergymen and members of Parlia ment, who harangued tho assembly at great length.

At last poor old Tawhiao was persuaded by Air Spencer to get em his legs and say something. His Majesty only made a .hurt speech, but tho substance of it would have astonished those v. ho knew him in New Zealand 18 months ago. Ho said he had never regretted donning the blue ribbon, and wished the cause all possible success. For the last few years ho had been trying to persuade his chiefs to abandon liquor. 11. didn't believe his country would ever be great again till drink was abolished from it.

These remarksl, which wore interpreted sentence by .sentence by Mr Spencer, ap peared lo givo great satisfaction, for Hsi Majesty was cheered to tho echo, After Tawhiao sat down, old Topiaroso and made a most, sensible speech, in the course of which he declared drink had boon the curse of his race, though he was glad to say many chieftains were now following Tawhiao's examplo, and abjuring it. Their object in coming to England was to secure justice, and, if pos sible, obtain a Government of their own. In the event of this being granted them, he thought they would be able to put an end to native intemperance, and banish drink from the country.

The old man sat down amidst a perfect hurricane of cheering and clapping. None of the other Maoris spoke. As it was now 2 o'clock, Mr Spencer sug gested lunch, and the Jlaoris were shown into a dining-room by the Committee. Here, however, they all vanished save one llabby youth, who was literally covered with badges of the Bluo Ribbon Army. The tables wero laid with a plentiful supply of knives, forks, flowers, and plates, but no eat ables mado their appearance ; moreover, the youth in regalia said ho didn't believe there were any. At this appalling intelligence Tawhiao's spirits went down to zero, and his friends began to dread a repetition of the sulky lit which signalised his first visit to the Palace. Fortunately, Mr Bowden (a gentleman staying at Demetre House), proved equal to the occasion. He went in search of the Committee, and after a time found one of them. Profuse apoligies wero ottered, and a capital lunch served within a quarter of an hour. Temperance beveragesabounded. They were of all sorts, sizes, and colours, and the Maoris did full justice to them.

After lunch a move was made to the nave, where the teetotal choir of 5,000 voices held a grand concert. Tho volume of sound emanating from the vast crowd on the grand orchestra evidently gratified the native car. The King was specially de lighted with the rustic of the 5,000 sony books as the singers turned a leaf over, all •it the same moment. He also adrflired the divers colours of the little paper volumes. After the contort the Maoris strolled round tho grounds for an hour or two, driving home in the cool of the evening. The Maoris' Reception. On Wcdnc-dayafternoon AfrsSftintsbury's " At Home " for the King's friends was he'd at Demetre House, lam sorry to say the affair did not go oil'quite so well as we ha;i anticipated it would. The King was in a good temper, a number of really charming ladies were present, the refreshments were lir.tratc, and the music wt.s excellent; but nearly all the memheis of Parliament and literary "swell." invited proved con spicuous by their absence. As I told you last mail, a largo number of notables had accepted, but on Alonday and Tuesday Airs .Saintsbury received letters from the Lord Mayor and several M.P.'s who bad inti mated their intention of being present, stating that either business engagements or ill-health would prevent their meeting the King. For oucthiiig, several other entertain ments took place on tlio same day, viz., the banquet to the Marquis of Normanby, the Society of Arts soiree, and several com pany dinners. All these, of course, com bined to keep peoplo away. Notwith standing the abovo drawbacks, however, 1 must say that all who wore at Demetre House thoroughly enjoyjd themselves, As usual, the King gave Airs Saintsbury a good deal of trouble. At half-past ten In stalled oil to sec his tailor friend in Oxford street, and at half-past three in t~c after noon he had not returned, S. .dniore and Air Preston accordingly yc-ye despatched to lind the errant monarch. On reaching Oxford-street, the iirst thing they saw wu_ a fearful crowd flattening their nosga against the window-panes of Yeung's shop ; and from this, of course, t-h&y knew the King was inside, On pushing their way into the houso by main force, His Alajesty was seen to be in his shirt sleeves, having just taken off his coat to try on another. After a low words with Skidmore, His Majesty slipped into his outer garment, and piepured to go homo; Unfortunately, how ever, the tailor suggested tbat he should go out tho back way to avoid the crowd. Un opening tho door at the back of the shop, Tawhiao at once rushed upstairs to the sitting-rooom, and Hopping down on the sofa, refused to stir. Skidmoro tried to persuade him to come, but all his entreaties wore of no avail, and the King pulled out his petition and commenced to read it to himself, evidently intending to stay there for the rest of the day. Skidmore then went back to Demetre House, leaving Air Preston to try to get the King home This ho succeeded in d,oi,ng, for in a quarter of an hour Tawhiao rose from his couch, and slowly descending the stairs, was soon in the street surrounded by a mob. Air Preston contrived to get him to Demolre liouse by five minutes past four, and the King was just able to roach the smoking room before the first guest arrived. The Alajor was already dressed in his newest clothes, but the King refused to put on his best clothes, and said ho did not want to go info the drawing-room to be stared at. Alrs Saintsbury at length prevailed on him to oomo and see the ladies, and once fairly in the drawing-room, he was soon surrounded by pretty girls anxious to say "tenakoe" to the King. By this time the visitors numbered about fifty, and they still con tinued to pour in until the spacious draw ing - room was as full as it could be packed. In one corner of the room sat Tawhiao surrounded by his chiefs, To them Mrs Saintsbury brought up each fresh arrival, to say"Hoiy do you do." The King roceived'strangors with great gravity, but when he shook hands with anyono he know h's low murmur of delight showed ho iv welcome he mado his friend.

And now for the names uf the people I saw there. First and foremost among the visitors was Air Moncuro Conway, whose gaunt figure and long grey hair rendered him specially conspicuous.. Carrying on an earnest conversation with him was Air J?, W. Chesson, of the Aborigine., Protection Society.and neal.tl.9m. stood Canon Gregory, listening with evident interest. Air K. B. Martin, M.8., was chatting with the Ma.dr through Skidmore, and Air Hancock yoade himself agreeableto Patara T. ,H.i, ThoKing was surrounded by a.r, admiring group of ladies, amongst whom were Airs Alartin, Airs Labouchor. (wife of the editorof "Truth") Mrs Clement Scott, Mrs and Aflss Nesbitt' Mrs l-ender Cudlip (Annie Thomas), Miss Fmdlay Smith, Airs Bowden, Mrs Fran cillon, and a host of others. To these ladies Tawhiao was explaining by signs that ho felt tired, and was suffering from rheumatic pains in his legs, while he occasionally touched his jaw to indicate that ho felt the twinges of neuralgia. In a corner of the room were about a dozen London press-mon and literati laughing and talking. Anions hem I noticed Air R. E. Fra.ftoill.on, Howard 1 aid Arthur Goddard, (*dito. of "Society"), and Charles Morley (of the "Pall Mali brazett? ,as well as seveial lesser lighta. Of not very many m.i, hnV^ i°»; Neabitt, Air Louis Nathan, il. Edward Hopkins (formerly of Auckland) and Mr Vesey. Stewart. Miss Agnes Larkcom s singing pleased the King most. Ho rapturously applauded all her songs By six o'clock the people began to say good-byo, and in half-an-hour the drawing-room was empty, and His Alajesty and suite were in the smoking-room enjoymg their pipes, whioh they actually 1 had not smoked for two full hours. On the whole, I think the reception was p success; at any rate , Mrs Sain* A^ Z S^T^" prais?for «M ™y «>" or ffn r ißed it. It was, 0. Course, a disap pointment to her that the best people she had invited did not put in an appearance, but of course that was not her fault. Half an hour after the last guest had gone^ Tawhiao strolled off again to his tailors, and remained there for the rest of the evening. This was rather ageravating, as the party had been invited to tlie Society ot Arts conversazione at the Health Ex nibition, I think, however, it was best for

them not to go, as the King was tired, and might have lost his temper like be did at the fireworks display. There is one thing I J, aV e forgotten to mention. After Airs Betty had finished a solo on the grand piano (which, by tho way, was kindly lent by Meizler & Co.), Tawhiao seemed ambitious to play, and seating himself on the music stool, com menced to strum with might and main. After about five minutes of this, he desisted, and uttering an exclamation r,f disgust, expressed his supreme contet- y for the instrument, saying it was no r • ••i after the piano-organ downstairs, the action of which he proceeded to imitate by flinging his right arm round and round in the°air. Te Tuhi now approached the piano, and desired to try his " 'prentice hand " at makino music. Ho met with no more success thai, the King, and after thumping for a minute or two, ho relieved his feelings by going down to the smoking-room and playing the " Toreador ' song from " Carmen''on the organ.

"Madge," describing the recepliou, says in "Truth:" "We went on Wednesday afternoon to a reception given by Mrs Saintsbury, in whose house the King of the Maoris is staying. The invitations were to meet the King. It was very interesting.- His majesty looked very sleepy, but amiably benignant. His expression is somewhat spoilt to European eyes by the effect of the tattooing, which is done in ridges down his face. These furrows run in an oblique direction from the centre of tho physiog nomy downwards and outwards, lie wears something tied to his left car, I could not make out what ; and on his head aro several feathers of a greyish colour. They look like a small bonnet at a little distance, and as the King is tall and of a dignified aspect, they fail to harmonise with the general effect. His principal follower, Major Te Whooro, wore one feather, which stood erect, as though the stem bad been thrust straight into his head. This childish adornment looked absurdly out of place abovo his fine coun tenance, which is full of power and intelli gence. I fear they scarcely appreciated the music, though the programme was ex cellent, having been arranged by Miss Eliza beth Pliilp, whoso songs arc liked so much. The King is a teetotaller, and seemed to enjoy his coffee and cako. Among the re freshments was a large wedding cake, which had probably some symbolic meaning ap propriate to the occasion. This tho King cut, and he partook of it with undoubted enjoyment. Some of tho ladies present honoured ..His Majesty with charming toilettes—one with a green skirt of biscuit coloured lace and bodice of lichen-green. Liberty silk was delightfully cool-looking. A Wattcan dress of a golden shade, worn with a quaintly crinkled Leghorn hat, was also pretty."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Drawbacks to Settlement In Queensland.

(To the Editor.) Sin,—Having read your correspondent's letter on the above subject, and also Mr Cutler's in last night's issue, I bog to state that the latter gentleman has been altogether misinformed about Brisbane. In the first place, the instances he gives of the inconveniences now arrivals are subject to on coming from tho old country arc what might be expected on going to any strange place. Air Cutler's comparison to tho spider and fly story is quite out of place, and immigrants upon going there are put into a spacious depr'it, which is anything but a rude, uncomfortable building ! IliveS there 20 years, and so speak from my own personal experience. Like all other places, it suits some people's health better than others', for I have now been two years in Auckland, and find it, does not agree with me so well as Brisbane. Tho summer there is certainly vory hot, and you* Queensland correspondent speaks truly of the dry seasons, for they aro sometimes very dis tressing, but I know for a fact what be said of the sanitary laws to bo a mistake. As for fruit, ho must have been in Toowoomba in one of the worst Reasons, for the fruits grown there are really fine. In Brisbane I have bought fine large pine-apples (as a usual thing) for 2d each, largo water melons Gd and Sd, best grapes: i-id and 4d per lb, and pomegranates, granadillas, guavas, peaches, oringes, bananas, etc.. equally cheap. Like Auckland, Brisbane has its disadvantages, but I think it is hardly fair to say so much against it, with out also saying something "in its favour. Brisbanites have not only to depend on the dirty Chinese forced vegetables, for thoro are plenty of farmers who supply vege tables fay cheaper than I have ever bought them in Auckland. The meat, too, when they have anything of n, good season, will compare favourably with that sold hero for quality, and after paying Sd and _d per lb for best romp steak, 2d for ribs, and 3d and -Id per lb for sirloins of beef, you can imagine my surprise on coming here to find the prices double. Know ing Air' Rutlcdge personally, I will send Air Cutler's letter to him, and 1 hardly think his idea of Brisbane will coincide with Alv Cutler's —Yours, ete._ James Scott.

It Conquers Pain. HER SPEECH RESTORED. Clair View, Inverell, Deo. 10,1883. Messrs Publishers Evening Stab. Dear Sirs,—l beg to acquaint you of a marvel lous cure following on the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which has taken place in my own family. lam a poor man with eight childreni, and for years have been a great sufferer from sciatica. My wife was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil. 8h« Jirocured a bottle, and I have been using it of ate with good results, but it is of my oldest daughter, 13 years of age, that I wish to tell Sou. She retired-one night, about i months ago, i her usual good health, but the next morning, she could not speak. I thought it waa oold, and applied the usual remedies, without effect. My wife took her to Inverell to see Dr . who Bald that it was not a oold, but that her throa* was ulcerated low down, and he prescribed cod Uver oil a_ftd other medicines, and also advised her ,o inhale the fames of Stockholm tar, say ing she mightaever recover her speech again. At the expwaHon at a fortnight,.the medicine having been finished, another visit to the Dr. was made, who again prescribed for her, but told my wife he had no hope of her ever being able to speak again, We began to despair, but the day I used the oil—about thrdfe monthß afte* »he was taken ill—l persuaded my wife, after Wj had retired-, to use the oil, She got up <>nd gave the girl two drops in water, and rub>,ed it <in her throat. Next morning wo were de'ighted to find that sho could talk as weU as, and haa boon able to do so ever since. ' I remain, gentlomon, gratefully yours. JAS, H.
