AUCKLAND. [From the New Zealander, August I .]

The Natives. — We continue to receive satisfactory "accounts' of 'the tranquillity of the northern districts ; though our correspondent describes the state of feeling among the native chiefs, to he that of a cold suspicious jealousy of the Governor and his proceedings. Althongh peaceably inclined, they' are very far from evincing sentiments of esteem and respect for the Government. The troops have removed from Victoria to the Wahapu. Heki has recently visited Kaipara, and passed some time with his relative Farore, at Kaihu. He was accompanied by about forty men and several women, and received by the Kaihu people with every demonstration of respect. Numbers of pigs were slaughtered, and large quantities oi potatoes provided for his entertainment. Our correspondent says, that Parore is very reserved when questioned respecting the purpori of this visit, and is evidently unwilling to relate what passed. We are given to understand, however, that in the event of any future outbreak, Parore's allegiance would be submitted to a very severe test ; and that it was extremely doubtful which side he would espouse. Many of Kawiti's people have been iudustriously engaged in getting out spars for the vessels now loading at Kaipara for England.

_The Late Captain Grant. — We understand that a marble monument, of very chaste design, and superior execution, has been forwarded from England in the Agincourt, to Sydney, by the friends and relatives of the lamented Captain Grant, who fell while gallantly leading on bis company of the 58th regt., to the assault on Heke's pa, at Ohaeawai. This token of the affectionate remembrances of his surviving friends, will be erected over the mouldering remains of the hero, who was iuterred at Paihia, a station of the Church Missionary Society. New Journal.— - Another Auckland paper, with the singular title of " The Antipodean" made its appearance on Monday last.
