Some natives concerned in the blooks at present before the Cambridge Land Court have posted up a notice to the effect that European lawyers are unnecessarily delaying business, and thus rating up Maori lauds, and calling on all natives to throw out the lawyers. The notice further states that the natives are starving in consequence of the lawyers. Mr Whitaker has replied to the notice, asking if it referred to him ; and stuting, if so, his mind was free from guilt. .Mb Edwabds, who was the first to draw attention to the existence of hematite deposits at the Thames, and who started the first paint manufactory there, has just discovered alum in payable quantities, and of good quality. He found the chrystalieed alum, together with alum schist,, in a drive near Waiomo, between Tapa and .Chrahametown. The. annual rateable value of the city of Auckland is £270,000, being an increase of £35,000 over last year.' The increase within the old City district is £20,000.
