THE PAKEHA MAORI CORRESPONDENTS OF THE AUCKLAND PRESS.

The Alexandra correspondent of the Auckland " Herald" is still we see, engaged an his endeavours to qbßtruct tlie possible crood results of the native meeting at Kapiha and mislead tho Auckland public as to tho true Btato of the case. We exposed, in our leading article ot Saturday last the grossly untruthful statement, that j neither the King nor the natives generally wished to see the Defence Minister, and i that they would treat only with Sir ; George Grey. Subsequent events have : shown conclusively 'that these statements | had notths slightest foundation, of truth, that indeed 4hey must have beon written with a knowledge of their falseness. We coe that our Auckland contemporary has u"ain been made the victim of this Alexandra co-respondent, who telegraphing on Monday says:-" The King evidently expects the 'Governor and Sir DonaM i McLean ; and the natives think that alter Tawhiao hears that it is only the Native Minister, ho (Tawhiao) may net come to meet him j or if he does, there will do nothing iv the meeting." Aow the day beforo this telegram was sent from Alexandra, Tawhiao was actually at Kapiha, and through his mouthpiece in direct teledranhio -communication with Sir Donald McLean at Hamilton arranging for a meeting, thoroughly well aware of the fact that tho Defence Minister was in Wnikato en route (or the frontier, and without the Governor. The falsehood is worth of the miserable semi-bafbarised European who penned it, and of the unscrupulous leader of Opposition who paid for its concoction, but we grieve to see a well conducted and respectable journal deceived into being made the vehicle for the disemination of the grossest falsehoods vamped'up for the most unscrupulous of party objebts.

The Pbinck o* Walbs ik India.— a jsomDay paper of undoubted poiition, and one^ of tho mTstintuentialm Northern India, im girena well-written ortiole on the amount of presents the Prince hai receired from tho natiro rnlera, and I the inadeau*cy,«»t to i*j meanness, of tho gifts he has giten in rrturu. His prsients, m fact, hara been nothing but a few cjpiea of ft French work on <tk*e *i Prince* of India" a It* stars and crosses of knighthood, and* sword or two. The amount ht has receired is calculated at not leia than £5011,000, oompriiinf (jewels, gold, and the most costly and ex<tui»it© »pecim»n» of indun *rt. A special troopahip U to be lent to Bombay to bring home tho animals, §uch at elophant*, cheetahs, tigeM, birds, &c, and the molt bulky of the tre*»ures. The worst ©f all it, that it u believe^ by thoie well-informed, that many of these gifti will be ioia by tho Prince on his return t« England, to aid* in paying off the debt af £600,000, which hai now been owing tome years. Afttr all. it cannot be said that the Prinoe has «hown Ttrytereat tact in hia conduct, or any great anprtciatibn of the pcouliar features of tke fooioty wtth *hich he has been brought into contact 4uri*g hii itajr in tha Eait. Most of his tine has boen passed in tigor shooting, T»riod by elephant fights and ballet danoei by Nautoh girla. All thi#, so far as it goes, qutto proper, and indted almost a matter of courae for a ?«ao« of th« Blotd, who, in many resptoti, Ukei Prince Hal as "hit modeU k largo «ection of tho Itnglish puhlio are, howeyer, disappointed with the result* of this Eait«Mi tour, though on the wholoitispronounoed to hare beem a success. By tho way, a story is going the rounds of tho club about an absurd mistake in one of the Prince's telegrams. It appears »he required hw Milner safes in which to«end homo some Tolaablos f*oa Bombay, and aocordmgly telegrapued to the Indian OOeo to send out " five Mdnersthree with drawers, -two withont' By some miitako the name was' ipelt X milhneri, and for somo time tho officials »t the India Honse wore sadly puwled and scandaliied.

Ho seems, however, not to have had such rosy times of it in Wedderburu aa he anticipated, and public opinion has been too much even for Sulliran. ;I*ter telegraphic advices state, that -SulliTan has complained to the Government of the treatment he received from the police and residents of Wedderburn. He 'totes he had nothing to eat &' * h »^^^ and he had to barricade him«olf agamtt the attooks of boys, wha threw stones and explouve malonals at him. ___—————
