YOUR OWN COR RESPONDENT AT KAIPIHA.

g IH| _At a spectator »t Kaipiha daring the time of the late interview between the Honorable Jsatife Minuter and Tawhiao, I can only say that I endor»e the l*tt*r of your own correspondent re certain stattmenttm»de by Mr Alloy and the correspondent of the Herald. 1 taw the nr n»al of Tawbiao and hi* chief* on the first day, at the bou»e which Sir Donald McLean o<( upier! ; wh«i Tawhiao ai dhi« companions all ehook bands with Sir Donald, the King and •Chirf* showing the greatest rerpect. I did not t tt tho old womnn ibake hands with Sir Donald, but I Terily beliere it was her only who ga*e the grand recsption to Alloy and the Harakl reporter, alluded to in the letter of the former. Kir Alley and his hulf-easte friend are worthy eprewntative tools for an ex-GoTernor to «n ploy. Do the quondam GoTtrnor and his friend Alley know thst this half-caste ha* for menths past been afraid of being seen in European fettlrmMits, nnd that la»t summer he wa* sriMterl for being »n cmi»sary ol one of the gr«»tMt -M«ori scoundrels unhung.

(I write tliffl from memory, therefore am open to correction). This is tli» grnnral feeling amwigst tho natives, notwithstanding all the libs, etc, published by Alley and Co. The Europeans are about the tame opinion, I fancy.— l aoi, d,c, Fbontibb.
