MAKETU.
■■ Cait, Tinama.v g tiled in here with tin cutter Tee, ami l»r*a c.u"« for the settlers. This cutter is carrying the sulphur from Matata in Auckland. Much inconvenience is experienced by the settlors of Mnkctu in not having a small vessel calling once a fortnight or so. As it is now, their goods often lay in tho store at the Tauranga wharf for over six weeks, waiting for a vessel to come hero. If u person was t > lay on a cutter between Makotu and Auckland, calling in at the different places along the coast, there is not the slightest doubt that he would soon woik up a good trade. Say a cutter of fifteen or twenty tons. ilcnare I’ukuatua, a native chief at Makotu, who has been receiving a pension from the (lovornment for nearly seventeen years, attempted to prevent some Europeans from fishing with a net on the sea coast between .Makotu and Tauranga, because they would not give him half the fish. The poor, innocent Maori again. I wonder if the Government will back him up in this sort of black-mail.—(Own Correspondent.)
