THE WAIKATO NATIVE MEETING.

Ale:candi;Aj May 5. The statement that Mr Yon Stunner, the E.M. at Hokianga, stopped the telegram written by liewi, warning the Ministerial party not to come, is officially contradicted. Nothing new at Te Kopua yesterday except a rumour that Tawhiao has left for Hikurangi to avoid the meeting. . This is not credited, but, if true, the mission would be fruitless, and Eewi be forced to an estrangement for a time, in consequence Of Tawhiao’s disrespect to Jdewi’s guest. To Kooti's people came in file this morning, about thirty-five in number, bringing two biscuits each as an offering to Sir G. Grey. Heavy rain lias taken place, making everything very uncomfortable. Several missionaries are here holding services. On Saturday evening the Ministerial party had tea with Te Kihia, the Maori king’s sister. She had a private conversation with Sir G. Grey. The He vs. Buddie and Schnackenberg held services in the Church of England. Ministers were present during the service. Tu Tawhiao, the king’s eldest son, came with food for the Ministerial party. After the Church of England service,, the Ngapuhis held a Church of England service in the evening - . Te Eeinga, daughter of Mauuhiri, who is understood to be under the influence of the opposition party, called on the Ministers, dined and had a private conversation with the Premier. The present position is that the Ngatihan Kingitcs are divided. One side disapproves of Tawhiao not cordially welcoming Sir G. Grey after Tawhiao’s own invitation to meet the Government at To Kopua, given at Hikurangi. This meeting was delayed by Te Ngakau on the plea of gathering flour. He is likely to guide Tawhiao into a dangerous policy, alienating the Ngatimaniapoto, among whom Tawhiao’s influence is gone. Some Ngatimaniapoto chiefs threaten to dethrone him and make JRcwi administrator under the Governor. Sly own opinion of the position, gathered from interviews with Kiugite chiefs, with members of the Hauhau party, missionaries, and other sources, is that the extreme Kiugite party will bo compelled to accept tho conciliatory attitude of the Government.—Correspondent * Press.’
