July 12. - The steamer HauraTri lias arrived here, after paying the first visit to the Mokau River. The steamer entered the river with ease, the navigation, being superior to that of the Waitara. The settlers, on getting into the boat, were rowed up to the native settlement. The coming of the pakehas was expected, and a large concourse of natives had assembled to meet them. Instead of offering any opposition, the natives vied with each other m welcoming "the strangers. They - helped to run' the boat m, and exhibited every demonstration of joy at the new arrivals. They told the captain of the steamer that he might tell all the : pakehas that Mokau was henceforth open to them for ever.
