AUCKLAND.
Native Present to Her Majesty. — Our readers may probably recollect that about a year since the natives of the Waikato sent to Her Majesty the Queen a couple of casks of flour, (ground by mills erected of their own cost, and the produce of wheat of their own culture), as an offering of their loyalty and good feeling, and as a simple of the agricultural superiority of New Zealand. Although in contravention of a general rule which forbids Royalty to accept presents, the Queen has graciously thought proper to make an exception in this particular case ; and not only so, but in acknowledgment of the courteous intention of the distant donors, Her Majesty has been pleased to transmit copies of the best authenticated portraits of the Royal person. These portraits, richly framed, we are informed, will be exhibited (to all desirous of inspecting them) for the next three or four days, prior to transmission to the Waikato, at the office of the Civil Secretary. — Southern Cross.
