(from our own correspondent.) Taoranga, Saturday. Serious difficulties, which* were arising between the Ngtipikiao and Ngaterangitipi tribes through the chief • Hemana's suicide, have been amicably and satisfactorily arranged through E. Hamlin, R.M., to whom the colony is deeply indbeted for his wisdom, tact, and indomitable perseverance in settling the dispute, where 500 Maoris were in arms, and double that number ready to rise had a blow been struck. (per press agency.) Auckland, Saturday. The Sunday trains on the Auckland and Mercer Railways are to be discontinued after to-morrow. _ . London advices state that emigration to New Zealand is much more active since the last mail. The Cospatric panic has subsided.

The Southern Cross's correspondent says an American line of steamers will most likely be laid on before long between Australia and New Zealand, and the California and Pacific Mail Company will probably undertake the contract; and, as they are one of the largest (if not the very largest) steamship companies in the United States,, their name guarantees that neither ability nor capital will be wanting on their part to make the line a success. The City' of Peldn, next to the Great Eastern, is the largest steamer in the world, and belongs to this company. A reply from Lord Carnarvon to Sir George Grey's petition re land funds and provincial abolition has been forwarded from Wellington, " transmitted through the Marquis of Normanby Lord Carnarvon says :—" You will have the goodness to cause' Sir George Grey to be informed that I have read both his petitions with the attention due to any communication from him, and while I differ very widely from many views and opinions to which he has given expression, I do not think it desirable to enter into any detailed examination of his representations, for the single reason that they relate to matters in respect to which I do not think there should he any pretence for saying her Majesty's Government have influenced or interfered with tho decision of the Colonial Legislature. I have, as at present advised, no intention of applying to Parliament for any legislation on the subject of provincial institutions or Crown lands of New Zealand, and no suggestion that such legislation is necessary or desirable has been made to me by or on behalf of the Government of the colony, or from any other quarter. These are subjects which the General Assembly of New Zealand is, in' my opinion, quite competent to discuss, as indeed it has already been very fully and ably' done in the debate in the House of Representatives which terminated in August last, and which I have perused with interest."

Gillies, chairman of the Ward-Chap-man Inquiry, Committee, writes to the papers this morning, and states that Smith's attack on Macassey is uncalled for. He says he cannot disclose—but on one thing he is sure, that Macassey will have no cause to regret_ an inquiry. Macassey answers Smith, and ascribes his action to professional jealousy, and declines to enter into a contest with him. , * Invehcaboill, Saturday.

Much indignation is expressed here at the manner in which Bill has been hurried
