M’Guiness of the mounted corps. The horses had no doubt strayed over the boundary linejthoso natives lately established in that district. They are teaching us to respect their law, and is to be hoped that before long they will be taught to respect ours “Itis reported that Tamihana, with about 30 men, has returned to Mataitawa, and it is probable therefore that wo shall hear something shortly of the movements of the two Kings. Indeed Wui, King is reported to be not far behind with 500 men, but the number cannot be relied on. Hapurona too is expected shortly from the South.“ The same journal states that.“ Thep’rovincial Council has adopted a resolution moved by Mr W. Beyly, recommending the Superintendent to invite the Superintendents of Wellington and Auckland to a conference upon the subject of a railway between the two principal settlements and passing through this one. The proposition is a bold one, and deserves consideration.
