Further particulars will probably shortly be known. A dinner was given to the representative of the Southern Maori district, Mr Taiaroa.a't the Maori Kaik last evening. The speeches were short and unimportant. The substance of Mr Taiaroa's remarks is that he has confidence in the policy of the present Government, and will support them unless his constituents generally think he should do otherwise. He would evidently also be in favour of a liberal system of education and of the extension of the franchise, as he said that as the Government ruled large and small, the poor man should have a share in making the Government.
