(from our own correspondent.) AuokliAud, December 8. At a meeting between the Tawhioa and Kawahia natives, whose district has up to the present been almost a t«ra incognita to Europeans, the King told the tribes not to show any ill feeling or animosity for the. future to the pakeha. He also announced his intention of visiting the Native tribes down the coast to Wellington. Referring to his late meeting with Mr Bryce, Tawhaio said in private. "I do not think any worse of Bryce for his straightforward speaking, for he spoke as one man to the other. The only thing I felt grieved about was his leaving me in the manner he did, for I think the least he could have done was to have shaken hands with me.

In an article to-night on the recent revelations made by the Prison's Beport, the Post to-night says:— "The excess of extra imprisonment in Dunedin as compared with the rest of the colony, was actually 9,550 per cent. We notice that, Mr. Caldwell, the Dunedin .ex-gaoler, is to have ' a year's leave of absence on full pay,' instead of proceeding to Auckland. So much the better for Auckland, and not at all bad for Vi r. Caldwell.
