AUCKLAND.
This day. Tawhiao has left Alexandra forKawhia.
Yesterday's Lyttellon Times says :— "As wealth and population mean power, every year must see Auckland becoming a greater power in the Councils of New Zealand. Either Auckland will get what it wants from the General Assembly, or its will not endure to be governed from a distant spot, and by men who are prac» tically unacquainted with its loca requirements. Auckland's wants will be numerous, and will be strenuously fought for. It will become a question whether the colony will be able to afford to satisfy them, or whether separation of the two Islands, or a return to a modified system of Provincialism, would not be a cheap way of buying the Northern province off. If separation were decided upon, Auck« land would become the capital of the North Island under a Provincial system, and here people would have the privilege of managing their own' affairs. The weight of Auckland in New Zealand polities will in a few years be felt in the scale to some purpose."
50 Mormons were passengers to America by the mail steamer. Mr Buckland is a candidate for a seat on the Board of Education.
