Tup titulai King of the Maons is .it present Bojoiuing -it 'IV Aiuha availing himself ot thu (.iiLitnc piopeities ot the famous hot spunks foi his lheunuties. Tawhiao is tiavellmg in company with his old advisei, and sucict.uy Te A'gakau and a few otheia, and the ji.uty aie peiegi mating funn one settlement to anothei subMstim; on the hospitality of his majesty's devoted subject. They annul at the p.i settlement on Friday funn I'aeioa and as Tawluao wa-s complain nitf i>f tin' toituiß of his milady they In ought hnn into the settlement and liaiHto«r"hTin'*pvor to Mr (Jeoige Wilson clrynnaix oithw doinun bo.iul, for tie.it>nerif Mr Wilaon kindly put iv bath at t!u> disposal of the noble moii.uch, into winch hi-- .itteiiduiits deposited him. The remainder of the "mitj, unknown to the enretaker fouud their way to No 2. b.vth, which it i* neodloHs to nay they enjoyed to the excluitdwwf European \i-ntor.s fm- the tune being. »'*»whii»o uaid it-wait >cry nice indeed, and thitt he liked tb« VbUo tiling nninoiisely, and w.is pnrtiouUrly fTHtitied with the liberality of the domain board who pnt Mich a luxury at hib disposal. Theie is no doulit lv- luuogiuscd the full foico of the compliment when it is considered that cm'jj local clei j,'ym<ui were not allowed the lite | use ot such a lu\ury.
