AUCKLAND.
This day.
Te Wheoro is in town interviewing Mr Sheehan respecting the approaching native meeting. Tawhiao ii still ill. The meeting has been absolutely fixed for the end of the month.
A new Native Lands Act will be introduced by the Government next session. The Bill passed last session enabled the Government to ascertain its position respecting land purchases. They find the Government will lose largely on blocks which hare been acquired. In some cases they will lose 15s iu the £. The new Act will appoint Natire assessors to investigate titles. When settled as to ownership they will call in an European judge, who will register their decisions, then the lands will be from time to time put up in small blocks, not exceeding a thousand acres. Provision will be made in the Act to prevent the acquirement of large blocks by monopolists. The Government will probably abandon a large amount of unprofitable speculations entered into by their predecessors.
