Wednesday.
This place has now daily papers, the Herald and Standard appearing on alternate days. The long-looked for litigation respecting the land titles in Poverty -Bay has begum. Many. writs have been issued. Mr Chambers of the Kepongaere run, and Mr William King, of the sawmill at the Makuri block, are among the recipients. Information from native sources from Waikato speaks strongly of the decline of Tawhiao's influence, The old Maori mode of worship, as amended and taught him, is becoming unpopular.' He endeavored to get Te Kooti to join this faith, but the latter refused. The religion taught by Te Kooti, founded on portions of the Old Testament, is becoming more popular every day. Many pilgrimages are being made to the high-priest who prophesies his return to this district, his birthplace, within' three years. In reply to a deputation from natives for part of the Patutahi lands to be withdrawn from sale, Mr Sheehan telegraphed that he declined to interfere.
