TAUPO.
This day. A large meeting of Natives is being held at Orakokorako, about 24 miles from here. The principal subject is the sale of a large block of land. The Government officers are present on behalf of the Crown, * while the land speculators' interests are represented by 0.0. Davis and Mr Reed, a brother of the lately appointed immigrant agent, now on his way to England. Although the block is proclaimed as under negotiation on behalf of Her Majesty, Mr Keed is offering higher terms to the Natives, and the negotiations for the land on behalf of the public are delayed in consequence. A good deal of surprise is expressed here at the unchecked interference of private speculators to frustrate the intention of the Parliament by making the Natives dissatisfied, and sowing distension among them.
