TOLOGA BAY.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] The natives here do not believe at all in registering their votes, They think that it is some design of the “ wily pakeha” upon their lands, and they take great credit to themselves fortheir discernment in detecting the plot in time. I have made every enquiry for you concerning the embryo goldfield at the East Cape, but can hear nothing beyond the fact of the specimens found having been sent to Wellington, to the Kawanatanga. Should any of the specimens turn out to be the real it would probably pay to prospect thiS%ver, which rises at the foot of Hikurangi. This mountain, according to native report, is supposed to contain any amount of the precious metal. There is not an atom of news beyond this worth sending.
