Bills of Exchange in the Union Bank of Australia, in Favour of the Natives to the Amount of £240 17s. 6d.
The above amount has been forwarded from Melbourne by Maori diggers to their friends in New Zealand. The sum of £l5O 17s. 6d. is to be paid "to the order of Maize Leiu of Auckland," and £9O "to the order of Jones of New Zealand."
are respectively numbered 554 and 549, and are dated "Melbourne, 13th December, 1854/' and "Melbourne, 15th of December, 1854." Who "Maize Leiu" and "Jones" are, we hare yet to learn,, but as they have become wealthy by visiting the gold regions, many natives will doubtless soon be known as their relations ; we must observe, however, that none need apply for these monies, except satisfactory evidence can be given, as to their being the privileged parties.
