[I’EOM THE COEEESPONDENT OF THE PEESS.] Sir George Grey and the Natives, Napiee, January 4. A special Gisborne correspondent telegraphs to-day : —Sir G. Grey and Mr Sheehan are expected here on Monday, and will be met at the wharf by the Corporation and conducted to the Albion Hotel. The Natives are preparing for his reception, and a meeting will be held at Waerangahika, where a large number of Natives will assemble and address Sir G. Grey and Mr Sheehan. An impression has been created by Karatiana and other Hawke’s Bay Natives that Sir G. Grey is supreme ruler of New Zealand, and that having raised the price ef land to £2 per acre, those Maoris who have sold in the past will get the balance of the value paid to them, and the confiscated lands returned. The settlers are now laughing, but there can be no doubt that the revulsion of feeling which must occur on the Natives 'realising the truth may lead to mischievous results, The advent of Sir G. Grey to power gives the impression that repudiation will bo sustained by the Government. ““I" A Wairoa man named William Swan, who was occupying a raupo whare in Ormond’s paddock, was burnt to death last night. It is supposed that he went to bed leaving a light burning, and that the w r hare caught fire, and that he was suffocated before he could move. The immigrant ship Renfrewshire arrived this morning, Jninety-seven days from London. Unfortunately there has been sickness on board, for, as soon as she rounded the Bluff, the yellow flag was seen flying at the fore. The pilot was first out, but had no communication with the ship. The s.s. Fairy took off the members of the Board of Health. On the usual questions being asked, it was ascertained that scarlatina had prevailed during the voyage, which had caused the death of five children, the last one only three days ago. There are still one or two cases on board. The Health Commissioner immediately decided upon placing the ship in quarantine. In the mean time the agents, Watt Bros., have sent a quantity of fresh vegetables and provisions. The commissioner will be off again early next week, and if the sickness is decreased the ship will be admitted to pratique. Dr Dale, who had charge of the immigrants on the Bebbington, is the doctor of the Renfrewshire. This is the first time any immigrant ship to Hawke’s Bay has been quarantined.
