AUCKLAND.
Last night. Strong efforts are being made to induce Mr Whitaker to contest the Thames. Tawhiao's wife's sister, through whom the King was connected with Winiata, is dead. It is stated that the natives who have obstructed the survey at Lake Waikare are part of the native bodyguard who accompanied in their war canoes the Ministers up the Waipa Eiver to the Kopua meeting. ilenry Skinner was committed for trial on two charges under the Arms Act of removing arms without a license from Gisborne to Auckland. Ibaraira, an influential NKatimaniapoto chief, and Wharane, Kewi'a nephew, died at Ohinemutu. The natives report a valuable find of petroleum springs at Te Paeroa. Business reported a little better, country orders coming forward freely, but local is confined to ordinary trade requirements. Money is very stringent aud storekeepers are restraining their credit to customers.
