The timo will come too when steamers from Nsw Plymouth will call at Kawhia, and there will be a connection qy triin with Otorohanga, the distance being twenty-fivo miles, then by the main trunk to Auckland. The Premier says that outside of the Auckland provincial district people do I not appear to realise what Mahuta’s joining the Government to settle the Native questions means.
