R. KAHUI, Kohupatiki. —E rua nga wharangi o te nupepa ki
a koe, Nama 20, i mahue, ara ko te 291 me te 292. I tenei
meera ka riro atu ki a koe tetahi nupepa tinana. Ka kite etahi
tangata i ngaro aua wharangi i roto i a ratou nupepa me wha-
kaatu mai.
Ko te Rahera, tamaiti, o Nepia, me te Para, Kai-hoko puka-
puka, o Kerehama Taone, Akarana, kua whakaritea hei tangata
tango moni mo te Waka.
He maha nga reta kua tae mai, a tena e panuitia i te wa e
ahei ai.
PAORA TAKI, o Rapaki, Whangaraupo. —Kua tae mai to
moni, kua riro atu hoki nga nupepa.
E hiahia ana matou kia • whakaturia etahi tangata tika hei
whakahaere i te hoko o te Waka i nga takiwa Maori. Ko te
tangata e pai ana me tuhi mai ki te Etita kei Turanga nei, me
te whakaatu mai i tana utu e pai ai ia mo taua, mahi—ara te
herengi maua i roto i te pauna kotahi.
He mea atu tenei ki nga tangata tuhituhi mai, me utu e ra-
tou te meera mo te mauranga mai o a ratou reta, ara me wha-
kapiri nga upoko Kuini e rite ana, ka kore, e kore e tangohia e
matou aua reta.
Ko nga tangata o te takiwa o Waipiro e hiahia ana ki te tango
i tenei nupepa, me haere ki a J. A. Hatingi, Pakeha o reira.
Ko ia to matou hoa, mana e whakaatu nga tikanga katoa ki a

PATUNGA. O NGA. HOIA O INGARANI.
Te korero o te waea mai o Ingarani inaianei, he
korero wehi rawa. E rima rau nga hoia o te Inga-
rihi, e ono rau hold nga iwi mangumangu, hoa o te
Pakeha, e ono te kau hoki nga apiha hoia Pakeha,
kua patua katoatia i te Keepa o Kuru Hopi.
Engari taihoa e whakamaoritia nga korero waea,
kia whakamarama atu i te tuatahi etahi tikanga e
marama ai o matou hoa Maori ki taua kainga. Ko
te koroni ia i tu ai a Ta Hori Kerei hei Kawana i
toha hokinga tuatahi atu i tenei motu. Ko te Keepa
o Kuru Hopi, ara ko te " Keepa" tona ingoa e
whakahuatia aua, kei te pito ki te tonga e takoto
ana o Awherika—ara te pito ki a tatou nei. Tera e
mahara etahi o matou hoa ki te whakaaturanga o te
ahua o tau whenua nui, o Awherika, i roto i te
Waka i te taua 1874. Ko te Keepa i whakaritea e
te Tati, i te tau 1600, hei kainga unga mo a ratou
kaipuke ki te uta kai, wai hoki, muri iho ka timata e
ratou te whakanoho i tana kainga hei koroai. (He
. iwi a te " Tati " no Horana, he whenua kei te taha
hauauru o Iuropi. ) Nga ingoa o nga iwi mangu-
mangu e noho ana i nga wahi i te takiwa o te Keepa,
he Hatenetata, he Kawhera, he Huuru. Ko etahi o
nga Hatenetata i waiho e te Tati hei taurereka, ko
etahi i aia atu ki tua o nga maunga; heoi, ka neke-
neke haere nga rohe o te koroni. I te tau 1795 ka

GISBORNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 32, 1879.
WAE AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
SLAUGTER OF BRITISH TROOPS.
Late cablegrams bring the intelligence of the
dreadful slaughter of some 500 British soldiers at the
Cape of Good Hope, and 600 friendly Natives, to-
gether with 60 British officers.
Before translating the cablegrams received, we
think it advisable to give our Native readers a little
information about the Cape of Good Hope, of which
colony Sir George Grey was appointed Governor
when, he first left New Zealand. The Cape of Good
Hope, commonly called " The Cape, " is situate at
the southern extremity of Africa, of which con-
tinent, some of our readers may remember, a very
full description was given in the Waka in 1874. The
Cape was fixed upon in 1600 by the Dutch as a
station for their vessels to take in water and pro-
visions, and at last they began to colonize it. (The
Dutch are a people inhabiting Holland, a country to
the north-west of Europe. ) The black races inhabit-
ing the country in the neighbourhood of the Cape
are called Hottentots, Caffrs and Zulus. The Hot-
tentots were either reduced to slavery by the Dutch,
or driven beyond the mountains, and the Cape settle-
ment was gradually extended. Iri 1795 it was re-
duced by the British naval force, but restored to
Holland in 1802. It was again reduced in January,
1806, and was permanently confirmed to Great
Britain in 1815. The Dutch Boers of the Cape

riro ana te kainga, engari i whakahokia ki Horana i
te tau 1802. I a Hanuere, 1806, ka horo ano; a i
te tau 1815 ka whakatuturutia ki Ingarani. Ko nga
tangata o Horana i noho i te Keepa kihai i pai kia
noho i raro i te mana o Ingarani, no reira ka heke
atu ratou ki Taranawara noho ai hei kainga tuturu
mo ratou, kei uta tena kainga kei te taha raki a te
Keepa, a whakaturia ana he Kawanatanga mo
ratou i reira i te tau 1848. Muri iho ka puta he
raruraru i a ratou ko nga iwi mangumangu, ki a
ratou ake ano hoki, no kona ka tohe ratou kia huia
mai to ratou kainga ki nga whenua o te Kuini i
Awherika, no reira i te tau 1877 riro mai ana taua
kainga ki a te Kuini.
Kaore matou e ata mohio awa inaianei ki nga take
o nga raruraru i te Keepa i tenei wa, e ahei ai matou
te whakamarama atu ki o matou hoa Maori, engari
tenei ake pea te ata mohiotia ai. Na, puta ana he
raruraru, a tukua ana e te Kawanatanga o te Keepa
etahi kupu ki a Hetiweo, te Kingi o nga iwi Huuru,
kia whakaaetia mai e ia. E ki ana tetahi nupepa o
Merepane, o te 21 o Hanuere, i penei te tikanga o
aua kupu, ara: —" (1. ) Me tuku mai nga tangata
hara nana i kahaki i nga wahine o Natara. (2. ) Me
homai kia 600 nga kau. (B. ) Me pakaru am nga
hoia o te Huuru ki o ratou kainga. (4. ) Me tino
whakaae kia hoki nga mihinare ki o ratou kainga,
me tiaki pai hoki i a ratou. (5. ) Me whakanoho
hoki ki reira tetahi tangata whakahaere tikanga
mo te Kawanatanga. I kii te Kawanatanga me ata
whakawa marire nga tangata i hara. E korerotia
ana e rima te kau mano nga hoia a Hetiweo; e tae
ana hoki tona mana ki waenganui rawa atu o
Awherika "
Heoi, i te 20 o Hanuere ka tae mai ki tenei motu
tetahi korero waea no Ranana, Ingarani, ara: —
" Ko nga korero i puta mai i te Keepa e ki aua
kua whakaae a Hetiweo, te Kingi Huuru, ki etahi o
nga tono a te Kawanatanga; ko etahi, me waiho
marire kia hurihuri tona ngakau. Kaore i whakaae
te Kawana ki tena, ko tenei e whakawhaiti ana i
ona hoia ki ona rohe.
" Tetahi korero, e ki ana ko Hetiweo hoki kai te
huihui i ona hoia tini noa. E kore pea e taea te arai
i te riri. "
Muri iho ka puta mai enei korero waea ki raro iho
nei: —
RANANA, 25 o Hanuere.
Nga korero mai o te Keepa, e kiia ana kaore ano
kia puta mai he kupu whakaae a Hetiweo ki nga
tono a te Kawana tae noa mai ki te 16 o nga ra. No
konei e mohiotia ana e hiahia ana a ia ki te riri. E
whanga marire ana te rangatira o nga hoia o Inga-
rani; engari e takatu ana ki te whakawhiti atu i te
rohe.
No te 12 o Hanuere i haere ai nga hoia Pakeha ki
te whenua o nga Huuru.
Te KEEPA, Pepuere 10.
Ko te Rangapu hoia te 24, me etahi mangumangu
e 600, kua mate i nga Huuru e rua te kau mano—
totahi ka hunaia, rawatia taua rangapu.
E 60 nga apiha Pakeha i mate rawa, e rua rau
hoki nga hoia.
E wehi ana kei mate a Natara. Kua karanga mai
te Kawana kia hohoro te tuku atu i etahi hoia.
E rima mano o nga Huuru i mate rawa.
[He kainga a Natara no Ingarani kei te taha o
Awherika, ki te tonga. Tona pamamao atu i te
Keepa ra te takutai, e 700 tao ki te 800 maero. ]
RANANA, Pepuere 11.
Tenei kai to uta atu ki runga kaipuke, inaianei
tonu, e ono rau hoia haere i raro; erua Rangapu
being dissatisfied with British rule, occupied Trans-
vaal, which is situated to the north of Cape colony,
and established a Republic there in 1848. Owing
however to troubles with the Native races in which
they became involved, and other internal dissensions,
the Republic, at the request of the inhabitants them-
selves, was annexed to the British African territories
in 1877.
We are not at present sufficiently acquainted with
the causes of the present troubles at the Cape to be
able to give our Native readers clear information on
the subject, however we shall no doubt obtain par-
ticulars in due time. Some difficulties it appears
having arisen, the Cape Government required the
Zulu King, Cetawayo, to comply with certain de-
mands made by them, respecting which the Mel-
bourne Argus, of January 21st, gives the following
particulars: —" (1. ) The surrender of the culprits
who abducted the Natal women. (2. ) To pay a fine of
600 head of cattle. (3. ) The disbandment of the
Zulu army. (4. ) Full permission for the mis-
sionaries to return to the country, and a guarantee
of safe conduct. (5. ) The appointment of a British
resident. The Government promise a fair trial to
the offenders. It is stated that Cetawayo has an
army of 50, 000 men, and that his influence extends
to the Equator. "
On the 20th of January the following cablegram
from London was received in New Zealand: —
" Advices from the Cape state that the Zulu
King Cetawayo has assented to some demands made
by the British Government, but asked time to con-
sider the others. The Governor positively refuses
to accede to his request, and is massing troops on
the frontier.
" Further advices from the Cape state that the
Cetawayos are massing forces in large numbers. It
appears there are little hopes of averting war. "
Subsequently the following were received: —
LONDON, January 25.
Reports from the Cape stale that up to the 16th
Cetawayo had failed to reply to the Governor's
ultimatum. It is, therefore, evident that he intends
to fight. The British commander waits to receive
complete submission. Meanwhile preparations are
being made to cross the frontier.
The British troops advanced into the Zulu country
in the l2th oi January.
CAPETOWN, February 10.
The 24th Regiment and 600 Natives have been
almost entirely annihilated by 20, 000 Zulus.
Sixty British officers and 200 soldiers killed.
Natal is in great danger. The Governor and
High Commissioner have demanded instant rein-
forcements.
' The Zulus lost 5000 men.

South East coast of Africa, between 700 and 800
miles distant from. Cape Town by the coast line. ]

E rua te kau ma rima mano o nga Huuru i huaki

mangumangu e 600; riro ana i ratou 100 wakona
(kaata nei), kotahi mano pu raiwhara nei, me nga
paura, me nga haki o te Rangapu. E rima mano o
nga Huuru i mate rawa, 500 o te hoia Ingarihi i
mate. Ko nga rangatira katoa o nga hoia i mate
katoa, kaore i whai morehu.
Kua tono mai te Kawanatanga o te Keepa kia
hoatu he hoia haere i raro, he hoia haere hoiho hoki.
He nui te oho o te iwi o Ingarani.
HE KUPU NO MURI MAI.
E whitu rau nga hoia Pakeha me nga mangu-
mangu kua mate i nga Huuru. I poapoatia nga
apiha e 30 kia haere atu i to ratou kainga i noho ai,
a, patupatua katoatia ana.
Kua tukua e Ingarani he kupu ki Pamupei (Inia)
me tetahi kainga e tata ana ki reira, he ki atu kia
• tukua etahi hoia ki Natara. Te kau ma rua mano
hoia e rere atu ana inaianei ano. Kua oho katoa te
iwi katoa o Ingarani, e nui haere ana te tara o te
riri.
I whai korero tetahi o nga Minita o te Kawanatanga
o Ingarani ki tona pouri mo te matenga o aua tangata
i patua ra, kiia ana i roto i te wiki kotahi ka tukua
he hoia tini noa ki te Keepa, e taea ai te peehi rawa
i aua iwi tutu. I whai korero hoki te Upoko o te
Kawanatanga, karanga ana a ia ki te iwi kia ngakia
rawatia taua mate.

He pehipehi i mate ai nga hoia me nga apiha o te
Rangapu te 24. He mea hunuhunu, arai poapoatia,
katahi ka ohua e nga Huuru e toru te kau mano
rawa, ka patupatua katoatia. I pipiri tonu te wha-
whai; he nui rawa te maia o nga apiha me nga hoia
katoa, he tini nga Huuru i hatepea e ratou. Ahakoa
tu i te mata, i te tao, motu i te patiti, i maia tonu;
ahakoa whakahemohemo ana etahi, tohe noa ki te
patu i nga Huuru, na te mea ka ngaro katoa katahi
ka mutu. E rima mano o te Huuru i mate. He
mate wehi rawa e takoto mai ana mo taua iwi. Te
kau ma rima nga tima whakaharahara e rere atu ana
i Ingarani ki te kawe hoia ki taua kainga, a e kore e

nga matua o nga hoia. Kihai i taea taua kainga i te
maia o nga hoia, engari i riro i nga Huuru etahi o
nga taonga te muru. Te kau nga wakona (kaata
nei) me nga kau menga kai i riro i a ratou.
Muri iho ka huaki nga hoia ki te hoa riri (i tetahi
wahi), whati ana te Huuru, engari kihai i tokomaha
rawa i mate.
Heoi, ma matou ano e ata whakaatu ki nga Maori
te whakahaeretanga o tenei riri.
E nui tonu ana te mate o Karaitiana Takamoana.

TE WHARE I RARO.
MANEI, 21 o OKETOPA, 1878.
TE POKIHA MO NGA TIKANGA MAORI A TE KAWA-
NATANGA.
(He Whakamutunga. )
Kii ana te POKIHA, i korero nga Minita ki te
Whare na te Kingi Maori te tikanga i haere ai a Ta
Hori Kerei raua ko te Hihana kia kite i nga Maori;
na nga Maori ake ano raua i tono kia haere atu; he
tino "koingotanga no ratou kia kite i to ratou hoa
aroha o mua, a Ta Hori Kerei. Ko te kupu tenei a
te Minita Maori i kii ai, ara, "He nui nga reta tono
i tae mai. He penei te teitei o te puranga"—
(katahi ka tohutohu ki tona ringa te tiitei). Engari,
kaore rawa i whakaari ki te Whare tetahi o aua reta
wairua. Tena etahi reta i tuhia mai ki a ia, ki a te
Pokiha; ma aua reta, e kite ai kaore rawa he tono a
nga Maori i tae mai ki te Kawanatanga; na te
Kawanatanga ake ano tana mahi. I kiia kua tae he
pukapuka tono ki te Kawana, kia haere ia kia kite i
a Tawhiao. Kaore i kitea taua pukapuka i roto i
nga pukapuka kua homai ki te aroaro o te Whare,
me te kupu whakahoki mo taua pukapuka, he kore
anake. Me he mea he pono, i tuhia mai ano e nga
Maori he pukapuka pera, he tika kia panuitia. Kua
kiia, i roto i etahi nupepa e utua ana e te Kawana-
tanga, ko Rewi kua kii mai kia tukua mai e ia
tetahi wahi o tona whenua momona hei hanga rere-
we. Otira kaore ia, a te Pokiha, i kite i taua korero
i roto i nga pukapuka kei te aroaro o te Whare,
kaore rawa atu he kupu kia kotahi noa nei mo taua
mea. Kaore ia e kite ana i puta he kupu pera a
Rewi. Me he mea i pono taua korero, he aha i kore
ai e riro mai taua wahi ? Me he mea he pono taua
korero, he aha i kore ai e tuhia ki roto ki nga puka-
puka kia kitea? He korero tinana ranei enei tu
korero, he wairua kau ranei ? I roto i nga korero i
whakaaria mai ki te Whare mo aua hui Maori, ara
te hui i Hikurangi marire ano, i kiia he nui rawa te
hari o nga Maori, ko Ta Hori Kerei i tino koa rawa,
a i ngahau tonu te katoa. [Ma matou tenei kupu,
ma te Waka. Kua rongo matou i tuhituhia ponotia
nga korero o tana hui ki Hikurangi e Whitipatato,
he rangatira whaimatauranga no Ngatiraukawa, a
tukuna ana taua korero ki te Wananga, engari kihai
i perehitia, i hunaia. ]
Katahi ka panuitia e te Pokiha etahi wahi o tetahi
reta i tuhia mai ki a ia e tetahi rangatira Maori, he
mea nana kia mohio te Whare ki te whakaaro o nga
Maori mo aua mahi. I penei te ahua o nga kupu o
taua reta, ara: —
" Ki a te POKIHA, te Tumuaki o mua, te tangata
tiaki i nga Maori me o ratou whenua.
E HOA., e te POKIHA, —Ko matou, ko nga Maori o
te Porowini o Akarana, e whakapai ana ki to mahi e
peehi na koe i nga korero parau a Kapene Kerei raua
ko Hone Hihana. Maku e whakamarama ki a koe.
I te taenga tuatahi mai a Ta Hori Kerei raua ko te
Hihana, ka tu ake a Manuhiri ka ki, ' Kaore i tatu
toku ngakau, kaore i marama taku whakaaro. Te
kau ma whitu enei tau i kore ai au e kite i a Kerei.

HOUSE.
MONDAY, 21ST OCTOBER, 1878.
ME. FOX ON THE NATIVE POLICY OF THE GOVERN-
MENT.
(Concluded. )
Mr. Fox went on to say that the House had been
told that the meetings of Sir George Grey and Mr.
Sheehan had been voluntarily brought about by the
King; that the invitations came from, the Natives
themselves; that it was their burning desire to see
their old friend Sir George Grey. The Native
Minister had said, " I had a whole batch of invita- '
tions, that, piled together, would reach as high as
this. " But none of these invitations were shown to
the House. He, Mr. Fox, had in his possession
communications from Natives which would show that
no voluntary invitations were sent at all; that the
whole affair was got up by the action of the Govern-
ment themselves. It was said that an invitation had
been sent to the Governor asking him to visit
Tawhiao. That invitation was not among the papers
before the House, nor the answer to it. If such an
invitation had been sent, it should have been, pub-
lished. It was said in certain Government subsi-
dized newspapers that Rewi had made an offer of a
munificent gift of land in his fertile territory for the
purpose of constructing a railway. But he, Mr.
Fox, could not find in the papers before the House
any allusion whatever to anything of the kind. He
could not find that Rewi made any statement or
speech to that effect. If such an otter were made, •
why were we not in a position to take possession of
that country ? If such an offer were made, why
was it not thought worthy of record ? Are these
facts or myths ? It was stated in the account of the
meetings laid before the House, particularly of the
Hikurangi meeting, that the Natives were delighted,
that Sir George Grey was never so well pleased in
his life, that they were all very merry, &c. [We
may say that we have it on good authority that a
very intelligent Ngatiraukawa chief, named Whitipa-
tato, who was present at the Hikurangi meeting,
wrote a true account of the proceedings at that
meeting and sent it to the Wananga for publication,
but it was suppressed. ]
Mr. Fox then, to show how these things appeared
to the Natives, read extracts from a letter which had
been sent to him by a Maori chief, as follows: —
4
" To the Hon. Mr. Fox, the former Premier, the
protector of the New Zealanders and their land.
" FRIEND Fox, —We, the Maories of the Province
of Auckland, approve of your endeavours to sup-
, press the false utterances of Captain Grey and Mr.
John Sheehan. I will explain to you: During Sir
George Grey's and Mr. Sheehan's first visit, Manu-
: hiri stood forth and said, ' My heart is not at rest,
nor is my mind clear. It is seventeen years since I have
, seen Grey. Welcome, George. ' That was all Manu-
hiri said. These were jeering words of Manuhiri's

kupu taunu tena kupu a Manuhiri, no te mea kaore
i pai ki te whakawai a Hori Kerei. Maku e whaka-
marama ki a koe. Ko te kupu tenei a Tawhiao ki a
Kerei, ' He whare ano o aku ' Whakama ana a Ta
Hori Kerei i konei, hane ana. I te taenga tuarua
mai a Kapene Kerei ki Hikurangi, ka kiia kia rima
rau pauna moni, kia rima rau eka whenua hoki, e
homai ki a Tawhiao. Ko te whakahoki a Tawhiao
mo nga kupu whakapati a Kapene Kerei, koia tenei,
' Ko to mahi tena e mahara nei koe he mahi tika. '
Ka tohe a Kapene Kerei kia whakaae tonu a Tawhiao,
kia waingoia ai te mahi a te Kawanatanga. Katahi
ka putu te kupu tawai a Tawhiao ki a Kapene Kerei,
ara, ' Tena, whakaturia he kanikani Pakeha, kia kite
au i te ahua. ' Ka rua whakangatanga o Kapene
Kerei. E kore rawa te Kingi Maori e pai ki nga
whakapati a Kapene Kerei. B mohio rawa ana ia
ki te ahua tinihanga o nga mahi a nga uri o Henare
VIII. Ko Kapene Kerei tetahi o ratou. E hoa, e
te Pokiha, ko te kupu tuatahi tenei a Tawhiao kia
te Whero raua ko Wiremu Patene, ara, ' Kaore aku
korero ki a Kapene Kerei; engari he kite kau, heoi
ano. ' Kotahi te kupu hee i puta i te Kapene o Niu
Tirani, ara ko tana kupu mo tera wakoretanga o nga
iwi Hau-Hau. Ehara i nga iwi Maori nana i tono i
a Kapene Kerei kia haere mai. Na, te kupu a te
Wheoro i whakaae ai kia haere mai ia, te kupu i kiia
kia whakahokia ki a Tawhiao nga whenua o Waikato.
.... Ko te kupu tenei o te iwi o Tawhiao,
' Ki te mea ka houhia te rongo e Kerei ki te whenua,
ka haere atu nga Pakeha i Waikato, katahi ka mau te
rongo ki te iwi. ' No muri i a Kerei tena kupu i puta
ai. "
Na, mo te Ture Maori Hoko Waipiro, i whaka-
whetai te Pokiha ki te Minita Maori. I ki ia ka
whakawhetai te motu katoa ki taua Minita mo tana
ture, no te mea e hiahia ana te katoa kia ora te iwi nui
o te Maori. Kotahi marire te mea e pouritia nuitia
ana e nga Pakeha whakaaro tika o tenei motu, kei o
ratou kaki katoa taua mea e tarewa ana me te kohatu
nui te taumaha, ara ko te mauranga mai o nga wai
whakahaurangi ki te iwi Maori. Kihai rawa tatou i
hapai i a ratou ki runga kia tu i te turanga marama
e ora ai e pai ai ratou; engari he mano tini o ratou
kua mate i a tatou, ara i taua wai whakarihariha,
whakamate tangata—a, inaianei e oke ururoa kau
ana ratou kia taea he oranga kautanga mo ratou.
Kua mutu tenei te riri a nga iwi mangumangu o
Niu Karetonia ki a Wi-Wi—he mate kino tona
mutunga. I whakatikia aua mangumangu, ara i
ohua i o ratou kainga, muri iho hatepea kinotia ana
ratou e nga hoia o Wi-Wi. E ki ana e rima rau,
tae ki te ono rau i tu i te mata, i
motu i te hoari, a ngoki haere ana ki roto
ki nga ana kohatu mate atu ai. E rua rau i
mau ora; ko enei i kawea ki te Aira o Paine hei
taurereka. E korerotia ana he nui te manuheko o
ta ratou mahi ki te kai tangata i a ratou e ohua ana
e te Wi-Wi. [He moutere tena kainga a Niu
Karetonia kei te taha ki te raki o Niu Tirani, e rite
ana ki te waru rau maero te pamamao atu. Na
Kapene Kuka i kite tuatahi i taua moutere i te tau
1774. I te tau 1853 ka tau ki kona te heke o Wi-
Wi, ki te Aira o Paine hoki—he motu iti tenei e 70
maero te pamamao atu ki te taha tonga o te mea
rahi. He Papuana te ingoa o te iwi whenua o Niu
Karetonia. He iwi kiri mangu taua iwi, he nanakia,
he toa. I mua tata ake nei whakatika ana etahi o
aua iwi, whawhai aua ki nga Pakeha Wi-Wi o reira,
mate aua etahi tokomaha o ana Pakeha. ]
E rima, rau nga Pakeha kua rere mai i rawahi; e
rere mai aua ki tenei mutu.
because he did not believe in the deceit of George
Grey. I will explain to you. Tawhiao's answer to
Grey was, ' I have houses of my own. ' Whereat
Sir George Grey looked foolish. On Captain's
Grey's second visit to Hikurangi, five hundred
pounds and five hundred acres were offered to
Tawhiao. Tawhiao's reply to Captain Grey's en-
ticing words was, ' That is your work which you con-
sider right. ' Captain Grey urged him to accept his
offer at once, in order that the work of the Govern-
ment might be rendered easy. Tawhiao's jeering
answer to Captain Grey was, ' Let us have a Pakeha
dance, that, I might see what it's like. ' This was
the second time Captain Grey was made to look
foolish. The Maori King will on no account consent
to the enticements held out to hira by Captain Grey.
He (the Maori King) is well aware of the tricky
nature of the descendants of Henry VIII. Captain
Grey is one of them. Friend Fox, Tawhiao's first
word, to Te Wheoro and Wiremu Patene was, ' I
have nothing to say to Captain Grey, but simply to
see him, and no more. ' One unjust expression made
use of by the Captain of New Zealand was when he
referred to the poverty of the Hau-Hau people. It
was not the Maori tribes who invited Captain Grey.
He was permitted to come on account of the word of
Te Wheoro that the Waikato lands were to be re-
turned to Tawhiao..... The word of Tawhiao's
people is, ' If Grey had made peace with the land,
and the Europeans had removed from Waikato, then
peace would nave been made with the people. ' This
was said after Grey had left. "
With respect to the Native Licensing Act, Mr.
Fox thanked the Native Minister for bringing it
down. He said the country would thank him, for
all were interested in preventing the extinction of
the Native race. If there was one thing hanging
like a millstone round the neck of the conscientious
men of this country, it was the fact of having intro-
duced intoxicating liquor to the Native race. We,
instead of raising them up and making them a better
race, had, through the instrumentality of this
miserable, wretched poison, destroyed hundreds and
thousands of them, until now they are struggling for
a bare existence.
The Native revolt in New Caledonia has been
brought to a terrible conclusion. The savages have
at length been starved out and mercilessly slaughtered
by the French troops. From 500 to 600, it is
estimated, have been fatally wounded, and have
crawled into rocks and caves to die, whilst 200 takea
prisoners have been deported to the Isle of Pines.
Horrible accounts are given of cannibalism practised
by the Natives while they were without food. [New
Caledonia is an island of the South Pacific Ocean,
situate about 800 miles north of New Zealand It
was discovered by Captain Cook in 1774. In 1853,
the French took possession of it and its dependency,
the Isle of Pines—a small island situate about 70
miles south east of the main island. The Native in-
habitants of New Caledonia are called Papuans.
They are a dark race, very savage and warlike. Not
long ago many of the tribes rose against the French
and killed and murdered numbers of them. ]
Five hundred English emigrants sailed for New
Zealand recently.

TE WAKA MAORI O NIU TIRANI.
Ko te Taupo tima nei i eke ki runga ki tetahi toka
i te ngutu awa o Tauranga i te 18 o Pepuere nei. I
ora nga tangata, me nga utanga, me te meera. I
pakaru rawa i raro i te take o te tima, pupu ake ana
te wai.
E rere mai ana a Kawana Ropitini i Hirini ki Niu
Tirani nei te 15 o Maehe. E rua nga kaipuke manu-
wao e rere mai ana ki te kawe mai i a ia.
Kua tuhia e Ruhia raua to Take ta raua puka-
puka hohou rongo.
He kupu tenei na tetahi nupepa o Merepane mo
te Pirimia o Niu Tirani (a Kerei), ara: —" E kore
rawa matou e mohio ki nga take o te tino mauahara
e ngau ana i roto i te ngakau o Ta Hori Kerei ki te
Kawanatanga o Ingarani. E mahara ana matou e
puta ana taua mauahara o tona ngakau ki te iwi
Ingarihi katoa tonu. E mahara ana matou kaore
rawa he tangata o nga koroni katoa e rite ana ki a
ia te ngakau tutu ki nga mana rangatiratanga. "
TE MATENGA O KARAITIANA TAKA-
MOANA, MEMA NEI.
Ko Karaitiana Takamoana i mate i te ata o te
Manei, (Pepuere 24). He kore kaore i oti te pere-
hitanga o te Waka nei i te Hatarei, i o ai te korero
nei i tenei ra, ara i te Manei.
Kua rongo matou e kiia ana e kore rawa e whakaorangia ake
te Wananga kua mate nei. Inaianei, to te Waka anake te
nupepa kei nga Maori e rongo ai ratou ki nga korero nui o te
moto mo nga tikanga e ora ai, e aha ai ranei, ratou; ko te
Waka anake te nupepa hei whakapuakanga ma ratou i o ratou
whakaaro me o ratou mate ki te ao. No konei matou ka kii, kia
kaha koutou te tautoko i te Waka, ia tangata ia tangata, hei
oranga mo koutou, mo te Waka ano hoki. E ora noa atu i
nga Maori o tenei motu he nupepa e mahia ana ki to ratou reo
ano hei awhina i a ratou, a ki te mea e rite aua to ratou
ki ta ratou nupepa. Inaianei ko nga Pakeha kai te
tautoko i te Waka i ora ai, engari te mea ma-
tauranga ki ta matou o whakaaro nei, ka tautoko ano ratou
tika ma nga Maori ate ano e manaaki i ta ratou nupepa kia
motu ke i te iwi Pakeha. Ki te mea ka pae ano te Waka ki
uta a muri ake nei i te kore oranga mona, hei reira te pouri ai
nga Maori, te kite ai i te he o to ratou whakaaro kore—kite
rawa ake kua " tureiti. " Kaore hoki he tangata e tahuri ki te
mahi i tetahi atu nupepa i muri iho mo te iwi manaaki kore.
Engari e pai ana kia kaha ratou katoa ki te kohikohi moni
—te hikipene a tenei, te herengi a tera—e ora ai te WAKA, e
toa ai hoki te whakapuaki korero mo te taha ki a ratou, e kore
ai hoki e wehi ki nga mahi a etahi tu Pakeha o te motu e tohe
nei kia whakatikia te WAKA kia mate. Ma nga rangatira o nga
hapu e whakahau kia manaakitia tenei taonga.
On the 18th February instant the Taupo steamer
struck on a rock at the entrance of Tauranga har-
bour. The passengers were saved, and the cargo
and mail landed. A big hole was knocked in her
bottom.
Governor Robinson leaves Sydney for New Zea-
land on March 15th in Her Majesty's ship Emerald.
He will be accompanied by Commodore "Wilson in
Her Majesty's ship. Wolverine.
A definite treaty of peace between Russia and
Turkey has been signed.
The Melbourne Imperial Review, speaking of the
present Premier of New Zealand, says: —" We can-
not give adequate reasons for the deadly animosity
to the English Government which now burns within
the frame of Sir George Grey. We believe it ex-
tends even to the English nation. He is as complete
a rebel, to the back bone and spinal marrow, as there
is in the colonies. Some of these days he will throw
away his title, as Spurgeon did the Reverend. "
DEATH OF KARAITIANA TAKAMOANA,
M. H. R.
Owing to a delay in the publication of this issue
of the Waka, we are enabled to inform our readers
that Karaitiana Takamoana died this morning (Mon-
day, February 24. ) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
We hear that there is no probability of the Wananga being
resuscitated. The Waka is now, therefore, the only means
which the Natives possess of obtaining information on public
questions affecting their interests, and of giving expression to
their opinions thereon, as well as making known their
grievances. This being the case, we hope, for their own sake
as well as ours, they will support it liberally. The Natives of
this country are well able to support a paper published in their
interest and in their own language, and if they have the
intelligence for which we give them credit they, will do so.
The Waka at present is largely supported by the European
population, but the Natives ought to support their own paper,
independently of the Pakehas. If the Waka should again be
wrecked from want of support (which however, we do not
apprehend) the Natives will find out when too late, that they
have made a mistake. It is very unlikely that anyone would
ever again start a paper for a people who will not pay. We
trust, by liberally subscribing, they will place us in a position
to speak out boldly in their interests, without fear of the
influence which a certain section of the Pakehas may bring to
bear against us. Let the chiefs of the various hapus see to it.
