WE have much pleasure in publishing in the present number of the Messenger, several speeches made by Ngapuhi Chiefs at a meet-ing held at Mongonui, Mr. Commissioner i Bell and the Resident Magistrate, Mr. White, | being present. It is gratifying to observe that the Nga- i puhi, who were the first tribes in the Island to welcome the Europeans to their shores, still continue to manifest the best feelings towards them. Some of them have quarrel-ed with the English, and they have not failed to regret having done so. Both, however, are forgiving nations, and all angry feelings in connection with what is past, are now dead and forgotten ; and the desire of both is to reciprocate offices of friendship and good will. We cannot speak too highly of the honesty of the Ngapuhi in all their land transactions with the Europeans. Having sold a piece of land they never at-tempted to ask for second and third pay-E HARI ana matou ki te ta ki te Karere nei i nga Korero a nga Rangatira Maori o Nga-puhi, i te huihui i whakaturia ki Mangonui. I reira a Te Pere, kai whakarite whenua, raua ko Te Waiti, kai whakawa tuturu o Mangonui. E tino whakapai ana matou ki te tikanga o Ngapuhi, o te iwi nana i whakau mai te Pakeha ki tenei motu i te tuatahi. Whaka-nohoia ana hoki ki runga ki tona whenua; a, e mau tonu nei te aroha me te ata whai ki nga Pakeha. He pono ano ia, i whawhai ano etahi o ratou ki le Pakeha, heoi, kua pouri, kua kete-kete ratou ki taua mahi, kua whakahengia hoki e ratou. Ehara ra enei iwi erua, te In-garihi me te Maori, i te iwi mauahara, a, kua ngaro katoa tenei te riri me te ngakau kino, kua male ke, kahore e maharatia. Inaianei, he hiahia to tetahi to tetahi kia mau tonu te atawhai me te whakakotahitanga. He whakapai ano hoki ta matou ki le Uka o to Ngapuhi mahi mo le whenua i riro i te Pakeha te hoko. Kua hokona am e ratou tetahi wahi whenua, kahore rawa e hoki mai ki le tono hoki i le utu, kia rua, kia toru nga homaitanga utu, a, kahore hoki i wha-kanekehia nga rohe tawhito i whakatako-toria e o ratou matua.

laws. Let us henceforth wholly give up Maori customs. Let this meeting witness our doing so, and our putting an end to : petty strife with one another. Here we are, all Ngapuhi, let us here pledge ourselves to kind treatment of the Pakeha. How shall we show our good feeling? . Let us give up our. disorderly conduct. This is my proposal ; let the flagstaff be again set up ou Maiki hill ; let us also have a town here, and one at Whangaroa. My word is a town, a town ! I have done. Wiremu Kingi Te Nganga then rose and , said —The old men wish the flagstaff to be again erected at Maiki. Wherefore I say as Hongi. Treat the Pakeha kindly. Ye people who have Pakehas living with you, treat them well. This is a meeting of Chiefs. I say then treat the Pakehas well. We manifest our good will to them, but in words only, for we have none living amongst us, therefore I charge those who have to behave well to them, and let us be all united. Ye Chiefs, let this word be con-firmed. Kindness to the Pakeha and also to the Maori, and let there be one law for both. I assent to what Taepa Pororua proposes, that the Pakeha should come to live among us, that there should be one law, and, above all things, kindness. Let, the Word of GOD be our rule in all we do.

Waikato neighbours. We therefore print a these words in the Karere that the Chiefs and people may see them and take care to prevent the recurrence of such conduct in future, which may otherwise prove a source of trouble. - —— ——— i TO THE NATIVE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. i In my different missionary journeys I have been led to observe the great variety of ap- pearances which are made by those attend- i ing the Lord's Supper. Some in the manner of their dress, and some in the state of their persons. I have seen the thoughtless dress out their heads as if they wished to look foolish and vain ; others with tawdry orna-ments, fine clothes, and dirty skins ; others with fine outside and dirty inside garments; holding out a hand to receive the "bread" so thick with dirt that scraping would have been suitable before washing. But this is not all 1 have seen that requires alteration. I have seen individuals coming, who from utter carelessness in seeking instruction, between the different periods of celebrating the Holy Communion, have required leach-ing, as if they were almost strangers to this sacred rite. And why is all this? Your ministers are not anxious upon mat-ters relative to dress, so that proper neat-ness is observed And, surely, cleanliness is not only proper but necessary. Think of any one approaching the Lord's table with dirty hands and dirty under garments ! Water is abundant everywhere, and soap so cheap that none are so poor but they may obtain it ; and as for casting aside all thoughts of the Lord's Supper until another opportunity again offers for its celebration, is shewing little regard for its benefits or for Him who instituted it. 1 have other little matters that may perhaps be worth talking to you about, in connection with the Sacraments. But a little al a time and well observed is better than many words and soon forgotten. From your old friend, T. CHAPMAN. Manawatu, August 26th, 1857. FRIEND MR. McLEAN, — Salutations to you. I heard that you bad arrived at Ahuriri. I have been think-na ia, kua riro etahi o ana mea te tahae e e tangata. He mea whakamu tenei ; a, i aia ki le Karere nei kia kitea e nga iwi o Waikato, kia riria hoki tenei mahi ware e nga rangatira, kei waiho tonu hei take pouri. KI NGA HAI» KARAITIANA O NGA IWI MAORI. I aku lini haerenga ki le kauwhau i te Rongo Pai, ka kite ahau i nga tini ahua o te hunga e haere mai ana ki te Hapa o le Ariki ; rere ke, rere ke nei nga ahua. Na ka rapu oku whakaaro ki tenei mea. Kua kite ahau i etahi, he ahua whakaarokore, whakapaipai rawa nga mahunga, tena e kiia e whai marie ana i te ahua o le wairangi, o le tangata whakaii. Ko etahi, whakairihia ake ko nga whakapaipai paraparau nei, ko nga kakahu whakapaipai rawa mo runga o te kiri paru whakahouhou. Ko etahi, he pai nga pueru o waho, ko o roto he paru, he whakarihariha kau. Ko nga ringa o etahi ka totoro mai ki le tango i le Taro tupu, kopi tonu i le paru ; ki a nu me matua waniwani ka horoi ai ki le wai, be matotoru hoki no le paru ; a, haunga ano enei ka oti ake nei, ienei ano tetahi mea he me whakaatu e ahau. Kua ki te ahau i etahi e haere mai aua ki Ienei ritenga tapu, tena e kiia he tauhou rawa ratou; he kuware hoki, he whakaaro kore no ratou i nga takiwa o le kainga Hapa, be mangere hoki ki le haere atu ki nga kai whakaatu kia whakaakona ki nga tikanga o taua mea. A, na le aha koia ienei? Kahore o koutou Minita e whakaaro nui ki te kakahu o le tangata, engari, kia ma in, kia rite ki to le tangata Karaitiana ahau. He mea tika ranei kia tata atu le tangata ki le Hapa Tapu ko nga ringa paru ko nga kakahu paru ? E nui ana te wai kei nga kainga katoa, a, he utu  mama le utu mo le hopi, ahakoa tangata | rawa kore ka taea ano e ia. Ko ienei tikanga ka pa nei le tangata ki le Hapa, ka mutu, haere noa atu, wareware tonu iho, a { kia tae ki tetahi atu takotoranga Hapa katahi i ano ka mahara, he be ienei, he whakahawea  tenei ki nga painga o taua mea, ki a Ia I hoki Nana i wkakarite. Me waiho i le ruarua enei kupu aku kia mau ai, kei whaka-raua kautia, ka hohoro te wareware. Na to koutou hoa aroha o tua iho. NA TE HAPIHANA.
