Tho Maori King has issued an invitation to the Thames natives to attend a meeting at Hikurangi on the 19th Sept, when he will explain his work and intentions. The Governor arrived in Auckland harbour at 5.30 yesterday. He had been looked for in the Manakau. The Governor immediately embarked aboard the Emerald, which sails for Fiji to-day.
Halcombe and Rich leave by the mail to-morrow to arrange for the settlement of the Patetere Block on behalf of the Patetere Association.
The foundation stone of the Newton Catholic Church was laid yesterday in the presence of five thousand spectators. Father Fynes, Vicar-General, performed the ceremony, and Lord Abbot Alcock preached. The offertory amounted to £167.
Persons^ connected with the Wade smuggling case will be prosecuted by Government, but it is not yet decided what shape the prosecution will take, most likely conspiracy will be the scope of the criminal information.
Owing to the unreliable telegrams published in the Auckland newspapers it is difficult to guage the political feeling in Wellington.
