WAIAPU.
An occasional correspondent wrftet to Hi from W aiapu to the effect that Major Pitt has succeeded in leasing a very fine run at Hick’s Bay, extending from Matakawa point to Lottin point, and verifies our own correspondent’s remarks on the oftrecurring visits that are now being made by settlers in quest of new country. Relative to the proposition for the natives to sell a site for a township at Kawa Kawa, at a large meeting held by Captain Porter, for the purpose of ascertaining their willingness all the chiefs and men of note opposed it, a few of lesser magnitude only agreeing to it. It is understood, however, that the matter does not fall through altogether. Captain Portdr Was to hold a large meeting of natives near the Oil Springs, last Monday, to arrange about the transfer of the land in which they are situated to the Government. The dispute about the Tologa Bay Native School site is satisfactorily settled, the natives agreeing to convey it to Captain Porter iu trust.
