DEPARTURE OF MR. MACKAY.
Mr. Commissioner Mackay left Auckland yesterday in the paddle steamer Novelty, which was chartered to proceed to Tairua, in consequence of information of an unsatistactary nature having been received concerning the loyalty of a party of natives at that place. Tairua, is on the East Const, about twenty or thirty miles south of Mercury Bay. Mr. Mackay took with him eight cases of arms and nine barrels of ammunition, which he proposes placing at the disposal of the workmen employed at the Tairua Saw Mill Company's works, the natives in the neighbourhood of Tairua, it is said, having more than once threatened to attack them.— Southern Cross, Sept. 6.
