"OMNI SOLUM PORTI PATRIA." THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1873.

Mr Mackay passed through Ngaruawahia laat evening en route for Cambridge. He i* no doubt fully instructed as to tho oourie tho Government desire him to pursue* Action will doubtless be tbo immediate result— at any rate, wo trust to. If anything if to be done— and public opinion innate something mmt — it is quite time that preparations were made on a more extensive scale than at present. We have every reason to believe that no lesietance will be offered to a European force if an attempt be made to capture Purukutu and his folbwem. c appears to be out of the good books of tho "King," and lie wi is undoubtedly hostile to him. Lute k<rt evening we rcceitfd a telegram "from Cambridge to tho eflret that ali was quiet, and that no excitement prevailed. We did not anticipate that anything else could be tho case. It will bo teen by a telegram in anothor column that tho f .*. Taranaki arrived yesterday in tho Munukau. We may, therefore, expect by next coach the letters and paper* by tho Suez mail, which arrived at the Bluff • fortnight since. Surely go me better arrangement could bo made for the speedier dolivery of the maiU. We leurn from Cambridge that thirteen men have joined the Armed Constabulary. It is also expected that several young mt'n, sons of settlers, will join. Mr John Williamson arrived at Ngaruawahia last evening. As will be seen by an announcement in anothtr colnmn, he purposes addressing meeting* at Ngaruawahia, Hamilton, and Cambridge, on the days and nt the timo announced. Mr John Williamson is apparently determined to improve every opportunity ho has of disseminating his views upon public uuttern u uuiigil tho nottlurs in rural constituencies. Jfc in but a fjw d ty<j wncu lie arrived in town from a trip in tho North. This morning lie start* at an early hour for the "Waikat© district, where it is his intention to hold a series of meetings in the principal settlement* there. — Crots.
