Sir Donald McLean.
His Departure from Maketu.
The Luna Illuminated.
MAKETU,
(From our own Correspondent.) This day.
The departure of Sir Donald McLean last night was celebrated with almost vice-regal magnificence. He was accompanied to the beach by nearly five hundred people. On the Luna reaching the head of Katuna River, she was saluted with six thirty-pound guns from the shore. On Sir Donald reaching the vessel, Captain iTairchild illuminated the whole ship, and returned with true ardour the deafening cheers from the shore. At about 7 pm. she steamed away. So ends one of the-most successful meetings ever held with a thousand natives, mostly composed of the bouncing Arawas.
