THE EAST COAST.
The Chief Commissioner, Mr. McLean, had occasion to call a meeting of natives concerned in the purchase of land on the East Coast, and no fewer, he says, than one hundred natives came to the conference on horse back attired in European habiliments, and their feet thrust into huge strong boots. We are very glad to find that the tribes here are so far advanced in civilization, and we take this opportunity to inform them, that there are plenty more boots in Auckland, and every kind of clothing they require, and as the fertile soil of their district has yielded an abundant crop of wheat this year, they would do well to purchase a good winter supply, ere the inclement season sets in.
