their way to Moananui's pa, adjacent to Clive. If was ihe first day of the Native Tangi, and the curiosity of the Europeans was great to see so large a number as several hundred Natives assembled for feasting, and paying the lust tribute to the departed Chief. The Pakehas were entertained in the most hospitable manner, and every attention possible was shown to them." NATIVE MEETING AT OTAKI. A Native meeting of some importance was held at .Otaki on the 13th of March, ori which occasion. Wi Tako, Maimera, Hapana Turoa, Te Rauhihi and others, addressed the numerous guests, four hundred of whom engaged in a sham-fight. Some of the speeches were very foolish, others highly objectionable, attributable, perhaps, in great measure to the ignorance of the speakers. Some of the Chiefs spoke sen-sibly: we subjoin a few extracts: — ""Let the work of the Runanga be to make dear what is written in the Gospels, so that we may live in peace as the law requires. Let us live in love with our friends the Europeans. This is another word to the Runangas. Let their work be so conducted as to obtain the sanction of Europeans. Let all Runangas be strong and honest, not for-getting that there is One above us who knows all our thoughts; lot their decisions and judgment be correct so that His wrath shall not be provoked, so shall our labours  prosper." '* Let us confine our attention to the car-rying out of law and justice among our-i selves. Your remarks [i.e. the extract above] have been heartily approved of by my Runanga."  " Let all the roads be thrown open, am  mails; do not let this be a cause of further  quarrelling."awhio haere ana whaka- te- pa o Te Moananui, e tata ana ki Karaiwi. Ko te ra timata tenei ' o te tangi, a miharo ana te tini o te Pakeha, koia i huihui ai ki le matakitaki i te whaka* minenga o. nga tangata Maori, ehia ranei, ki le kai, ki te tangi mo te rangatira kua ngaro atu i a ratou. Nui rawa le atamai o taua hui ki nga Pakeha, nui atu le kai i tukua ki a ratou, nui atu te ahua mariri mai o nga tangata Maori ki a ratou." HUIHUI MAORI KI OTAKI. I turia ki Otaki tetahi hui nui i te 13 o nga ra o Maehe, whakatika ana a Wi Tako ki te korero, a Maimera, a Rapana Turoa, a Te Rauhihi, roe era atu ; a werohia ana haere ake te taki 400. Ko etahi o nga korero i reira, ehara i le mea pononga; ko etahi nui atu le be, i kawea e le kuaretanga o nga kai whakapuaki. I tohunga nga kapu o etahi o nga rangatira, kua oti etahi kupu te whiriwhiri, koia nei aua ki : — • "Ko le mahi mo le Runanga he whaka-marama i nga mea i tuhituhia ki te rongo pai, kia noho marire noa iho tatou ki te ritenga o te Ture, me noho aroha tatou ki o tatou hoa Pakeha . Tenei hoki te tetahi kupu ki nga Runanga. Kia aia Uka ta ratou mahi, kia paingia ai e nga Pakeha. Ko nga Runanga katoa, kia uekaha, kia tika hoki te mahi, kei wareware noa, tenei ano tetahi kei runga e matau ana ki o tatou whakaaro katoa. Ko nga whakaotinga kupu. Ukanga hoki, me nga whakaaro, kia tohunga kia topu; kia ata tika ai a tatou mahi, kei ahu mai ki a tatou tana riri." • " Ko a tatou korero, me waiho i runga i - le taha anake ki a tatou, kia puta ai te Uka,  kia puta ai le ture. Ko au korero, [ko nga kupu i runga iho ra,] kua lino whakaaetia e toku Runanga."  "Me whakapuare nga huarahi katoa, me te Mera. Kauaka e waiho i ena hei lake e ririri ai ano tatou."

Ah, those 1 prized as priceless treasures Are snatched away, by Haua.  What; though, 0 tribes of Ngatiwhatua,! Ye reside far hence, ye are near us still Hearken, 0 Sire, from Tongariro'* heights, The mountain of so many fond remem-brances, Where are their tombs beneath the ground— the tombs of those we love  Oh, why did the avenging god. In bis dread path leave us behind Ob that he had o'erturned the upheaving  hills When soundly I slept by the side of him,  My own. my only love.[E whakawhetai ana matou ki a Hohepa Tamamutu mo tana pukapuka i tuhia mai, nei mo te waiata hoki ; e taia ana e matou i runga i te nga ka u ahuareka .] Ki te Kai-tuhituhi o te Karere Maori. ehe 22, 1862.
