AUCKLAND.
The natives are finding unusually large quantities of kauri gum in the neighborhood of the North Heads, Hokianga. The Hokianga steam saw-mills have reaumed work. We have intelligence from the far North, the natives are so intent on individualising their title to land, and acquiring Crown grants, or certificates entitling them to receive grants, that, they have forgotten every thing else. They do not seem to have even a faint recollection of the Waikato war, which formerly engrossed so much of their attention. Moreover, the general tendency is to get grants for individuals, to small or large tracts of country, aud not, as has been the case in the Lands Court here, in the names of one or two representing the tribe, or section of a tribe. — Weekly News.
