They will leave tlieii settlement on the '2'iid inst., \isitmg homo of the lowei Waikato settlemets, .uid leaving by the m.nl steamer foi England .it the beginning of next month. Tauhi.io ha& home £31)00 in hand to pay the expenses of the tiip, and is expucting anulhei £"500 this week. This sum should be sufficient to defiay bisj expenses handsomely. I hear that, foi want of a sufficiently expeiienoed travrllei and mterpieter amongst tlievi own people, it is likely that the well-known schemer, Sydney T.uwhnnga, will go with them. It is to be hoped someone with a better record will yet be found, who w ill be able to fill the position lequned.
