Ilonana, ono of the leading chiefs, aud a niitii who mounted the flagstaff and pro claimed the establishment of the Maori monarchy from the cross-trees, was turned away trom Tawhiao's camp, by Purukutu's soldiers. Houaua was very indignant. An intimate friend of Whitiora was also turned back when going to Tawhiao's tent. Whitiora commanded the Maori army at Raugiriri, and is almost of equal rank with the King. Both he and iloiiana arc very muoh. cut up at the action of Purukutu's party, and threuten to detach themselves from Tuwhiao and acknowledge Rewi as their head. Tawhiao is alienating the support of many Important men by hia distrustful aud morose attitude. He is completely the puppet of Purukutu audit ncskof scoundrols, who fear that perfect reconciliation between the two races wouldbsiug their necksnearer halters. Purukutu's son is the King's special guard. Many of the Kingites actually express a strong sympathy with Whitiora. It truiispiros that the land at Harapipi which the Government handed over to the control of the Waste Lands Board, is reserved for purposes of higher Maori educa tion. The Waikato Kingites, however, charge Sir George Grey with breaking faith by not handing the lands over to them as they understood would result from the Uikuraiigi meeting. Tawhaio also con siders himself slighted becauso his con currence was not asked iv constructing the Raglan Road. At present there appears little prospect ot any satisfactory nnd permanent understand ing with the Kingites, many of whom speak bitterly against the Government. NATIVE OCCUPATIONS. The natives spend their time singing,card playing.and intermitiablestulling. On Mon day night the Ministerial party held a graud concert, Mr Sheehan Hinging a Maori song, and Mr Christie played on the guitar. The natives gathered about in groups aud listened. THE NGAPUIIIS. Tawhiao has sent three invitations to tl\o^ Ngapuhi to commence the talk. _ On Monday night Te Ngakau reprcl scntcd to Tawhiao that the food would not lust many days; therefore, something must be done. Tawhiao sent another invitation to the Ngupuhis, asking them to begin the talk. The Ngapuhie declined, representing, in reply, that they came here in Grey's cause, aud could not move without their saptuin. IT hey waiitod Tawhiao to come out and H_p_ak bis mind before all, so that they • might lix him definitely.
