FRIENDLY DISPOSITION OF THE NATIVES.
On the 29th ultimo, several highly respectable Chiefs with their people waited on the Officer Administering the Government for the purpose of condoling with his Excellency in reference to the recent murders, and the late calamity which threatened the destruction of Auckland by fire. At a future time we will give a detailed account of the interview, and the speeches of Te Kawau, Patuonc, and others. On this occasion, forty-three baskets of new potatoes, by way of present, were piled near the entrance of the Government Office, which according to native usage is a most distinguished mark of affection, and a manifest anxiety for the continuation of friendly relations.
