hohoro te kawe i o ratou ingoa kia rehitatia ki roto
ki nga rouru pooti o te koroni, a. ra ki te mea kaore
ano ratou i rehitatia i mua ai: —
" I rite pu ki to te Pakeha te whaitikangatanga o
nga Maori ki te pooti tae noa mai ki te tau 1867. I
taua tau ka hoatu ano he mana pootitanga ke atu ki
a ratou kaore i tukua ki te iwi Pakeha, he mea hui
atu ia ki to ratou mana pootitanga o mua; ara ko
te tukunga o nga mema Maori motuhake ki a ratou
ki te Paremete. Ara, na te ' Ture Mema Maori,
1867, ' i ahei ai ratou te tuku kia tokowha mema o
ratou ake ano ki te Paremete; muri tata iho o tena
ka karangatia kia tokorua nga rangatira Maori e uru
ki te Kaunihera, ara ki te Whare o Runga. Na, i

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1879.
As it is possible there may be a general election
during this year, we make the following extract from
an article on the Electoral Bill which appeared in a
late issue of the Wellington Times, in order that our
Native readers may know what electoral privileges
they really have. We advise those of them who
possess the requisite qualifications to lose no time in
getting themselves placed on the electoral rolls of
the colony if they have not already done so: —
"Up to the year 1867 the Maories had exactly the
same electoral privileges as the Europeans. In that
year they obtained the additional privilege of a
special representation which the Europeans do not
enjoy. The ' Maori Representation Act, 1867, '
enabled the Natives to send four representatives,
elected by themselves on manhood suffrage, to the
General Assembly, and then, or shortly afterwards,
two Maori men of rank and consideration amongst
their people were nominated to the Legislative
Council. Since the year 1867 up to this hour the
Natives enjoy exactly the same electoral privilege as
the Europeans, plus the special representation. If a

ratou mana pooti. Ki te mea e whai, karaati ana
tetahi Maori a ana ake ano mo tetahi wahi whenua e
rite ana ki te rima te kau pauna tona tikanga, na ka
tika kia tono ia kia tuhia tona ingoa ki te rouru
tangata pooti o te takiwa i takoto ai taua piihi
whenua a ana; a he tokomaha ano nga Maori kua
pera ano inaianei. Ki te mea he tangata noho te-
tahi Maori i runga i te whenua i riihitia e ia hei
kainga mona, ka tika ia kia tuhia tona ingoa ki te
rouru pootitanga. Ki te mea e noho whare ana ia i
roto i nga rohe o tetahi taone, a e rite ana tona
whare ki te tekau pauna i roto i te tau; ki te mea
ranei kei uta tona whare, a e rite ana ki te rima
pauna i te tau; heoi, me tuku ia i tana tono i te wa
i whakaritea e te ture, a ka whai pooti ia mo tona
nohoanga i taua whare. Ki te mea e noho ana ia i
te whare tangata, ka rite he tikanga mona ki to te
Pakeha i raro i te mana o te Ture o 1875. Ki te
mea he tangata keri koura ia, ma tona pukapuka
* Maina Raiti' e rite tonu ai he tikanga pooti mana
ki to te Pakeha. Tetahi, ki te mea he tangata utu
reiti ia, ka mau tona ingoa ki te pukapuka tangata
utu reiti o tona takiwa, a ma reira e rite tahi ai to
raua mana ko te Pakeha ki te pooti i nga pootitanga
mema mo te Paremete. Engari i whakaturia tetahi
ture i kore ai e tonoa he moni reiti i runga i nga
whenua Maori ake ano, ara i hapa ai i te tikanga utu
reiti, no reira i kore ai e mau nga ingoa o nga Maori
ki nga pukapuka o nga tangata utu reiti, he tangata
kotahi noa nei te Maori e mau ana tona ingoa i roto
i aua pukapuka. Engari he tini noa nga Maori whai
take ki te whenua i runga i te tikanga karaati e mau
aua ano o ratou ingoa ki nga rouru pootitanga o te
koroni, me nga Maori whai riihi, whai whare ranei;
ko nga Maori whai ' Maina Raiti' hoki e pooti
ana i nga whenua mahinga koura. Na, ka kite tatou
i konei, kua kore e mate te Maori i te tikanga utu
reiti e mate nui nei tona hoa Pakeha, ara taua tika-
nga e whai pooti ai te Pakeha ki ta te iwi nui o
Ingarani tana tikanga; engari he nui atu te mana
pootitanga kei te Maori i to te Pakeha, ara i ona
mema Maori motuhake mona ake ano. Ki te kore e
pai nga Maori kia wehea o ratou whenua ki ia tanga-
ta ki ia tangata o ratou, kia rite ai ki ta te Pakeha take
Karauna karaati, heoi, kei a ia ano te tikanga. Ki
te mea ka tohe ia kia noho i roto i te whare raupo
kopuha nei, teneti kareko ranei, kaua te whare e rite
ana ki te rima pauna i te tau, na, kaore ia e utu reiti
ana i tena, e tika ana hoki kia kore ia e whiwhi pooti
i tena ara. - Engari e ahei ana ia te rehita i tona
ingoa ki roto ki nga rouru, pera tonu me te Pakeha,
ki te pai ia kia pera.
Kua tae mai te Kawana, a Ta Hakiurihi Ropitini,
me tona hoa wahine. No te Wenerei te 26 o nga ra
i tae mai ai ki Werengitana. I waiho taua ra hei ra
haringa.
Kaore ano kia rite noa te rangi e tu ai te hui ki
Waikato.
Kua rongo matou ko Henare Matua tetahi tangata
e tu kia pootitia ia hei mema mo te taha Rawhiti.
Ko Henare Tomoana tetahi.
a piece of land of the value of fifty pounds, he can
claim to be placed upon the electoral roll of the dis-
trict in which his property lies as a freeholder; this
right he does now extensively exercise. If a Maori
be a leaseholder of land he may claim to be registered
as such. If he occupy a house within a town of the
annual value of ten pounds, or a house in the country
of the annual value of five pounds, he has only to
make his claim in due form, and at the appointed
time, in order to obtain the right to vote as a house-
holder. If he be a lodger, his privileges under the
' Lodger's Franchise Act, 1875, ' are exactly the
same as those of the European. If he be a miner on
a goldfield his Miner's Right gives him the same fran-
chise as the Pakeha; and lastly, if he be a ratepayer,
the fact of his name appearing upon the rate roll of
any Highway District, Borough, or County, will with-
out any action on his part, suffice to secure for him, as
for the European, the right to a vote in the election
of members of the House of Representatives for the
district. As, however, the landed property of a
Native is by law. exempt from direct taxation his
name does not appear, or rarely, upon the electoral
roll as a ratepayer. As freeholders, as leaseholders,
as householders, hundreds of Native names are now
on the electoral rolls of the Colony, and as holders
of miner's rights they vote in a 'goldfield district.
Thus, as we see, being exempt from direct taxation
which falls so heavily upon his European fellow
citizen, the Maori has, by means of his special repre-
sentation, greater electoral privileges than the Euro-
pean, whilst he is relieved from that taxation which
gives a fundamental right to representation according
to the political creed and custom, of the British
people. If a Maori will not individualize his title and
convert his communal or tribal right into an English
freehold with a Crown grant, that is his business.
If he will live in a raupo shanty, or under a calico
tent, instead of in a house of the annual value of
five pounds, he cannot qualify as a householder: as
he pays no rates, that door is rightly closed against
him. It is clear that he can qualify himself, just as
the European can, if he chooses to do so. "
We perceive by a paragraph in the Times of Wel-
lington that the editor of that paper is sceptical
about Mr. Sheehan's tampering with a man at Napier,
in order to prevent him from fulfilling his engage-
ment with us. We have received, nevertheless, satis-
factory proof of the fact.
The Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson, and Lady
Robinson arrived in Wellington on Wednesday, the
' 26th inst. The day was observed as a public holiday.
It is still undecided when the Waikato meeting
will be held.
We hear that Henare Matua will be a candidate
for the Eastern Maori district. Henare Tomoana is
also spoken of as an intending candidate.

TE MINITA MAORI RAUA KO TE WHITI.
—————•—————
I te Hatarei, te 22 o nga ra, i tae a te Hihana,
ratou ko ona hoa, ki Parihaka kia kite i a te Whiti.
He nui nga Maori i tae ki taua hui. Na Meiha
Paraone i timata te korero. I ki atu ia ki a te Whiti,
ratou ko tona iwi, kua whakaturia a Ruakere hei
ateha Maori, mo te tika me te pai o ana mahi, no te
mea hoki he tangata rangatira ia. Ki mai ana te
Whiti kaore ona hiahia kia rongo ia ki nga mahi
whakatu apiha a te Kawanatanga; ma te Kawana-
tanga e whakatu i a ratou tangata e pai ai ratou,
mana hoki e whakatu i ana e pai ai. I konei ka
korero riri tonu ratou, tu ana te puehu, he kupu
maro tonu nga kupu. Ka tono te Hihana kia tukua
mai a Hiroki kia whakawakia e te Hupirimi Kooti.
Ki mai ana te Whiti me tu ki kona te Hupirimi
Kooti ki te whakawa i a Hiroki, no te mea i mahia i
roto i tona takiwa te mahi e kiia ana e te Hihana he
mahi hara. Ki atu ana te Hihana kua rite nga wahi
hei nohoanga mo te Hupirimi Kooti, e kore hoki e
haere he wahi ke. Kua whakaritea he tikanga e tika
at te mahi i te taha ki nga Maori, inahoki e ahei ana
kia whakawakia nga Maori hara i te aroaro o tetahi
huuri Maori. Katahi ka ki mai te Whiti, ka kore e
tae atu te Hupirimi Kooti ki kona, e kore e tukuna
a Hiroki kia haere ki wahi ke, no te mea kua tae atu
ia ki aia (ki a te Whiti) hei tiaki i a ia. Katahi ka ka-
ranga mai te Whiti he tangata tahae te Hihana i nga
whenua a nga Maori, e kore ia e korero ki te tangata
tahae. Katahi ia ka korero mo tona paremete, mo
te paremete hoki o te Pakeha, ka ki mai e mahi ana
ia i te mahi tika e tupu ai te aroha me te pai o nga
iwi e rua tetahi ki tetahi; ko ta te Hihana tana
mahi e he ana, e poka ke ana he ara ke. Ka ata
whakarongo marire te Hihana, muri iho ka ki atu
ki a te Whiti me he mea i ata whakarongo mai ia
kua ata whakahokia ona korero e ia, e te Hihana; ko
tenei, kaore ia e ata whakarongo ana, he whakararu-
raru tonu tana mahi, kaore he tikanga e whakaroa
kau ai te korero i te mea kua timata te haere o nga
tangata o te hui.
[Ahakoa nga kupu whakakake a te Hihana i mua
ai, i ki ra ia e mau noa atu nga tangata hara te hopu
i te kainga o te Whiti i a ia te whakahau, ko matou
i mohio he ngutu kau ana korero, a i puta tonu
a matou kupu whakahawea i era Waka. E kitea
ana i enei ra nga tohu o te ngakau huri ke, o te tutu,
o te raruraru, i roto i nga Maori i etahi wahi o te
motu, a e kore e tika kia kore e whakaaro ki aua
tohu. He nui nga raruraru e taiawhio ana i a te Hihana
nui atu i tana e mohio ana. Ki te mea e tae ana to
matou aro, to te tangata iti, ki te whakapuaki kupu
ako ki tena tangata nui, na ko te kupu tenei e puta i
a matou, ara, —Kia maia tana whakahaere kia tika
hoki; tetahi, kia ata whakaaro, kia ngawari hoki. —
ETITA Waka. ]
No muri nei ka tae mai etahi korero i te waea, e
ki ana i arumia atu etahi Pakeha kai-ruri i Waimate
i te 25 o Maehe e te Manu ratou ko etahi atu Maori.
I kawea katoatia atu e ratou nga mea me nga teneti
a aua Pakeha i runga terei ki tetahi taha o te awa o
Waingorangora ki te kainga Pakeha, muri iho ka
hoki ki te tiki i era atu kai-ruri i Waimate a riro
katoa ana te whakahoki ki te kainga Pakeha. E ki
ana akuanei kaha ai te whakaaro o te Kawanatanga
ki taua mea. Kua tukuna he kupu panui i te waea
ki nga wahi katoa o te motu, ki Aatareeria hoki, kia
rangona e te katoa hei te 6 o Mei te hokona ai kia
16, 000 eka o taua whenua ki nga tangata e hiahia
ana. Ka whakaturia etahi pa hoia ki taua wahi ki
e tika ana kia pera.
THE NATIVE MINISTER AND TE WHITI.
—————*—————
On Saturday, the 22nd inst, Mr. Sheehan and his
party met Te Whiti at Parihaka. A large number
of Natives were present. Major Brown opened the
conversation by telling the Whiti and the people
that Ruakere had been appointed a Native assessor,
in consequence of the fidelity of his conduct and his
rank as a chief. The Whiti said he did not want to
know anything about Government appointments;
the Government could appoint whom they pleased,
and he would do the same. A rather acrimonious
discussion here ensued between the parties, and
rough words and hard sayings were the order of the
day. Mr. Sheehan demanded the surrender of
Hiroki to be tried at the Supreme Court. The
Whiti said the Supreme Court should be there to try
Hiroki; as what Sheehan claimed to be an offence
had taken place within his district. Sheehan said
the Supreme Court only sat at appointed places, and
the interests of Maories were protected, so that
malefactors could be tried by juries of Maories. The
Whiti said if the Supreme Court would not come
there, Hiroki should not go elsewhere, as he had
claimed his protection. He accused Sheehan of
stealing the land belonging to the Natives, and said
he would not talk to a thief. He then talked about
his parliament and the European parliament, and
said that he was going the right way to promote
good-will between both races, while Sheehan was
taking a different and erroneous course. Sheehan
listened patiently, and then told him that if he (the
Whiti) had listened to what he had to say he would
have been enabled to give a coherent reply, but as
he would not hear him, and constantly interrupted
him, there was no use in prolonging the discussion
after the people began to disperse.
[Notwithstanding Mr. Sheehan's boasts of how
easily he could have criminals arrested in the Whiti's
district, we knew better, and have said so more than
once in previous issues. There are symptoms of dis-
affection, anarchy, and disorder, beginning to show
themselves unmistakably among the Natives in
various districts, at the present time, which should
not be disregarded. Mr. Sheehan is surrounded with
greater difficulties than he imagines. If we might pre-
sume to offer our humble advice to so great a man we
should say, —Let him act with firmness and justice,
tempered with discretion and forbearance. —ED.
Waka. ]
Later telegrams state that on the 25th of March
a party of surveyors were driven off the Waimate
plains by Natives led by the Manu. They conveyed
the surveyors' instruments and camp fixings in drays
to the nearest European township across the Wai-
ngorangora river, and then returned taking away the
remaining surveying parties from the plains. The
Government it is said, will act -decisively in the
matter. Notices have been telegraphed round the
colony and to Australia of the sale of 16, 000 acres
of the plains, at Carlyle, on the 6th of May. If neces-
sary, military settlements will be formed.

TE TIRITI O WAITANGI.
Kua puta mai he tono ki a matou kia panuitia atu
te Tiriti o Waitangi; a e whakaae ana matou, no
te mea e mahara ana matou he tokoiti rawa nga
Maori o enei rangi e ata mohio ana ki nga tikanga
o taua tiriti. Ki ta matou whakaaro ka puta he pai
i runga i te tukunga o taua tiriti kia kitea e nga iwi
Maori o te motu nei; ma reira e nui haere ai te wha-
kapono o nga iwi Maori ki te Kawanatanga o te
Kuini i tenei koroni—kaua te tangata e pohe ki
tenei kupu a matou; ehara i te kupu mo te " mana
tangata" ake ano o Kerei raua ko te Hihana i ta
rawa kawanatanga. Tena o matou hoa Maori e kite
i te tikanga o taua tiriti ehara i te mea e mate ai
ratou; engari hei mea ia e tuturu tonu ai he ranga-
tiratanga mo ratou, he oranga nui atu hoki i nga
oranga katoa o tenei ao. Ko te whaka-reo-maori-
tanga o taua tiriti, ehara i a matou, no mua ano.
Kaore i tika rawa, kaore i pau katoa nga kupu o te
taha Pakeha; engari ko nga tino tikanga i whaka-
maoritia, a e pai ana:
" Ko Wikitoria, te Kuini o Ingarani, i tana
mahara atawhai ki nga Rangatira me nga Hapu o
Niu Tirani, i tana hiahia koki kia tohungia ki a
ratou o ratou rangatiratanga, me to ratou whenua, a
kia mau tonu koki te Rongo ki a ratou me te ata
noho hoki, kua whakaaro ia he mea tika kia tukua
mai tetahi Rangatira hei kai whakarite ki nga ta-
ngata Maori o Niu Tirani. Kia whakaaetia e nga
Rangatira Maori te Kawanatanga o te Kuini ki nga
wahi katoa o te whenua nei, me nga motu. Na te
mea hoki he tokomaha ke nga tangata o tona iwi
kua noho ki tenei whenua, a e haere mai nei. Na,
ko te Kuini e hiahia ana kia whakaritea te Kawana-
tanga, kia kaua ai nga kino e puta mai ki te tangata
Maori ki te Pakeha e noho ture kore ana. Na, kua
pai te Kuini kia tukua ahau, a Wiremu Hopihona,
he Kapitana i te Roiara Nawi, hei Kawana mo nga
wahi katoa o Niu Tirani, e tukua aianei a mua atu
ki te Kuini; e mea atu ana ia ki nga Rangatira o te
Whakaminenga o nga Hapu o Niu Tirani, me era
Rangatira atu, enei Ture ka korerotia nei.
" Ko te tuatahi,
" Ko nga Rangatira o te Whakaminenga, me nga
Rangatira katoa hoki, kihai i uru ki taua Whakami-
nenga, ka tuku rawa atu ki te Kuini o Ingarani ake
tonu atu te Kawanatanga katoa o o ratou whenua.
" Ko te tuarua,
" Ko te Kuini o Ingarani ka whakarite ka wha-
kaae ki nga Rangatira, ki nga Hapu, ki nga tangata
katoa o Niu Tirani, te tino Rangatiratanga o o ratou
whenua o ratou kainga me o ratou taonga katoa.
Otiia ko nga Rangatira o te Whakaminenga, me nga
Rangatira katoa atu, ka tuku ki te Kuini te hokonga
o era wahi whenua e pai ai te tangata nona te
whenua, ki te ritenga o te utu e whakaritea e ratou
ko te kai hoko, e meatia nei e te Kumi hei kai hoko
mana.
THE. TREATY OF WAITANGI.
—————•—————
We have been requested to publish the treaty of
Waitangi, and, as we believe that but few Natives,
comparatively speaking, of the present day, know
anything about it, we have determined to do so. We
think the circulation of it among the Maori popula-
tion is likely to do good, and give them increased
confidence in her Majesty's Government in this
colony—and, in saying this, let us not be misunder-
stood; we do not mean Grey and Sheehan's "personal"
Government. Our Native friends will see that,
instead of being in any way detrimental to their
interests, the treaty is really the charter of their
greatest temporal privileges. We give the original
translation, which is neither so full nor so close as it
might have been made; however, it contains the. pith
of the English version, which we suppose is suffi-
cient: —
" Her Majesty Victoria, Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, regarding
with Her Royal Favor the Native Chiefs and tribes
of New Zealand, and anxious to protect their just
Eights and property, and to secure to them the en-
joyment of Peace and Good Order, has deemed it
necessary in consequence of the great number of Her
Majesty's Subjects who have already settled in New
Zealand, and the rapid extension of Emigration both
from Europe and Australia which is still in progress,
to constitute and appoint a functionary properly
authorized to treat with the Aborigines of New Zea-
land for the recognition of Her Majesty's Sovereign
authority over the whole or any part of those islands.
Her Majesty, therefore, being desirous to establish a
settled form of Civil Government with a view to
avert the evil consequences which must result from
the absence of the necessary Laws and Institutions
alike to the Native population and to Her subjects,
has been graciously pleased to empower and authorize
me, William Hobson, a Captain in Her Majesty's
Royal Navy, Consul, and Lieutenant-Governor of
such parts of New Zealand as may be, or hereafter
shall be, ceded to Her Majesty, to invite the con-
federated and independent Chiefs of New Zealand
to concur in the following Articles and Conditions.
" Article the First.
" The Chiefs of the Confederation of the United
Tribes of New Zealand, and the separate and inde-
pendent Chiefs who have not become members of the
Confederation, cede to Her Majesty the Queen of
England, absolutely and without reservation, all the
rights and powers of Sovereignty which the said con-
federation or Individual Chiefs respectively exercise
or possess, or may be supposed to exercise or to
possess, over their respective Territories as the sole
Sovereigns thereof.
" Article the Second
" Her Majesty the Queen of England confirms
and guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes of New Zea-
land and to the respective families and individuals
thereof, the full, exclusive, and undisturbed possession
of their Lands and Estates, Forests, Fisheries and
other properties which they may collectively or indi-
vidually possess, so long as it is their wish and desire
to retain the same in their possession; but the Chiefs
of the United Tribes and the Individual Chiefs yield
to Her Majesty the exclusive right of Pre-emption
over such lands as the proprietors thereof may be
disposed to alienate, at such prices as may be agree
upon between the respective Proprietors and person

He mea tuhi mai tenei korero nei no Opotiki mo te

THE TOBACCO PLANT IN THE BAY OF
PLENTY.
—————«—————
(Prom the Say of Plenty Times).
Our Opotiki correspondent sends the following in-
teresting particulars re tobacco growing in that dis-
trict. "A speculation which will work a great change
in our local markets presents every appearance of
success. I refer to the tobacco crop planted by
Mr. W. Gotch, which he also intends to manufacture
here. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Gotch
for the determination and perseverance he has
evinced in his attempts to establish this industry in
the Bay of Plenty. Having a thorough experience
in the growth and culture as well as the manufac-
ture of the tobacco plant, Mr. Crotch, became con-
vinced, from personal observation, that the
Bay of Plenty possessed the most favorable
soil and climate of any part of New
Zealand for the purpose, and he accordingly
purchased some land at Ohiwa, and planted a small
crop, relying upon the Natives for obtaining larger
quantities, to whom ho offered every inducement to
plant the torore (a native tobacco) more extensively,
even undertaking to supply them with seed, and
instruct them in the proper method of cultivation.
The Natives did not, however, keep to their promises,
and finding all his efforts fruitless, Mr. Gotch then
removed to Opotiki, where he has planted a handsome
crop, which is thriving and healthy beyond expectation.
Mr. Gotch intends manufacturing the whole this
year, and if he turns out as good au article as some
which he made at Ohiwa, and which was fairly tested
here, he will have no difficulty in entirely superseding
the use of American tobacco in this part of the
country. "

patua ana, kainga ana. E pera ana me nga Maori o
tenei motu te ru o aua tangata. I te taenga o te
Miteri ki Petikati ka tukua te poti ki uta; kaore i
hoki mai taua poti. Katahi ka waihape haere te
Miteri, tae atu ana ki te wahi i u ai te poti ki uta;
kite atu ana e takoto paepae ana te poti i tatahi.
Titiro rawa atu e hikitia ana te tinana o tetahi
Pakeha o te poti ki roto ki te ngaherehere e nga
tangata whenua; ko te Mua te ingoa o taua Pakeha,
kua mate, kua tangohia nga kahu, e hikitia ana ko
te kiri kau. Kotahi te tangata i kitea i tatahi e ahu
ana ki te taha raki, engari kaore i mohiotia i te pouri
he mangumangu he Pakeha ranei. Katahi ka rerere
haere i reira taua kaipuke i te po. Ko nga taha o te
kaipuke i peitatia ki te peita pango (he ma ia i mua
ai), i peratia kia he ai aua Maori ki taua kaipuke,
me i kore e taea te whakaora i etahi o nga tangata o
te poti. 1 te ata ka rere ki uta te kaipuke, ka rerere
i reira po upa te rangi; kotahi te heramana Pakeha
i eke mai ki runga, i haere mai ia i Piitii, kaore ia i
mohio ki taua kohurutanga. Katahi ka hoehoe haere
te rua o nga poti i te taha tonu o te one, kaore i
kitea nga Pakeha o te poti tuatahi, ko taua poti i
kitea kua toia ki ro ngahere e nga mangumangu. I
kitea aua mangumangu e mui ana ki runga ki taua
poti, me te popokorua e mui ana ki runga ki te ka-
kano witi. Ka noho tonu te Miteri a po noa; no te
korenga e kitea nga tangata i ngaro, katahi ka rere
ki te moana, ka haere i tana haere ki te kimi i tetahi
kaipuke manuwao (hei whiu rapea i taua iwi). Ko
nga iwi mangumangu o Aopa e ki ana kai te wha-
whai ratou ki te iwi mohoao o uta nana i patu i tera
tangata o te Heta Pere, ara i te wahi i mate ai nga
tangata o te Miteri. Kaore i tata mai aua tangata
ki te poti. I tetahi kainga i u ai te Miteri, i ki mai
nga tangata whenua kia tupato nga Pakeha o te kai-
puke ki nga iwi o te kainga i mate ai aua Pakeha, no
te mea kua pupuhi ratou ki nga poti a etahi atu kai-
puke e rua.
Kua puta he ru nui ki Pahia. He nui nga whare
me nga taonga i mate. Kotahi mano kotahi rau nga
tangata i mate. (He whenua a Pahia kei Ehia, kei
te taha Rawhiti o Take. )
Kotahi te kaipuke manuwao no Wi-Wi kua totohu
i te moana i te tupuhi. E 47 nga tangata i mate.
Ko te Arokati te ingoa o te kaipuke; e 6 nga pu
repo i runga.
Kaore he riri o muri nei i te Keepa. Ko Maniu-
rahi tetahi rangatira mangumangu kua uru ratou ko
tona iwi ki nga iwi e riri ana ki te Pakeha. Kua u
atu etahi rangapu hoia o rawahi ki taua whenua.
MASSACRE AT PENTICOST.
—————+—————
The Magellan Cloud arrived in Auckland from
Fiji during the latter part of February. The Fiji
Times states that the Marion Renny from Tanna
spoke the Mystery, W, A. Turner, master. He re-
ports that a man belonging to the brig Heather Bell,
Daly, bound to Fiji, as having been killed on the
north side of the west end of Aoba; his name, James
Merlin. The man was forcibly seized by the Natives,
and eaten. At Penticost the Mystery sent a boat
ashore, but as it did not return, she worked to the
place where the boat was seen to land, on nearing
which, the boat was seen broadside on the beach,
much knocked about. A little south Mr. Muir's
body was seen being carried up into the bush; the
body was stripped and naked. A person was seen
walking to the. north ward, but whether black or white
could not be made out, it being too dark. The
Mystery then stood off and on the place for the
night, during which time she had the bulwarks
painted black (which had been white before)
so as to deceive the Natives, and so endeavour to re-
cover some of the poor fellows who had been in the
boats. On the morning of the 10th, the Mystery
stood close in, and sailed about the whole day, re-
cruiting one man, who seems to know nothing about
the massacre; he had been to Fiji. After sailing
about, the second boat having been close in shore saw
nothing of the missing people; the other boat the
Natives hauled into the bush. Captain Suman
describes the Natives round the captured boat
as ants round a grain of corn. The Mystery,
after waiting until dark, and seeing no signs of the
missing men, made sail and continued her voyage for
the purpose of endeavouring to meet oue of the
" scourers of the seas. " The Natives at Aoba say
they are fighting with the bush tribe who killed a
man out of the Heather Bell in at the place of the
Mystery mishap. Natives would not come near the
boat. At the next village they warned us to be
careful, as the Natives of the next place—meaning
where the crew of the Mystery's boat were massacred
—had lately fired at a ship's boat on their calling,
and they had fired at a boat belonging to the Daunt-
less.
A severe earthquake occurred in Northern Persia.
Great damage was caused, and near 1, 100 persons
perished. (Persia is a country in Asia, ou the East
of Turkey. )
A French vessel of war, Arrogante, six guns, has
foundered in a heavy gale, and 47 men were drowned.
No further fighting has taken place at the Cape
since last advices. Maniurasi, the chief of Basutu
land, is in open rebellion against the British rule.
Reinforcements have arrived.
