is a sensible well read man; who has spent some years in a German University, and travelled a good deal. His ideas of the manner in which the natives should be treated are very good, and indicate a superior intellect. The natives at Turanganui appear very civil, and better conducted than at the Wainui, Mr. Harris'. A McGregor, a young man from Coromandel harbour, who owns and commands a schooner, the ''Dauntless'', gives me a deal of information, respecting Puhatta Taniwha, and other Chiefs connected with that district. McGregor seems an active, industrious Highlander. He and his brother have erected a saw-mill at ''Kikowakarere'', a wide bay, where there are several European sawyers and carpenters living, with Paora, the Chief. Bought a saddle for Kani, £4. Flora McLean,£1, by McGregor. Rawiri, the Chief, came in from his plantations, and had a long conversation with me on various subjects, especially as to thefts, and other crimes. He seems a sensible, well-behaved man, nearly related to Te Kani Otakirau, the greatest Chief on this coast; who has also made his appearance, with his train of followers.
