THE MAUNGATAUTARI MEETING.
Tm native meeting at Miungataut.ui will come off, .is we said, townidu tho end of tho month, commencing, in .ill probability, to mouow. Oiu (Wmkoto Tinux) Alexandra conespondent tclc o 'iaphs us that laige lnunbers of natires liavo left Aotc.iroa for M.iungatautari. About" 400 natives left with Pawhiao for tho meeting, and, as we mentioned in our last.jtho King was at the back of the Mountain on Monday night. It appeals, however, that ho was taken ill while thpre, but was expected to leave Aratitahi for Maunga tautari yesterday, and would open the business for which the meeting was called, probably today or to-morrow, There are at present a largo number of natives assembled at the place of meeting, awaiting bii arrival and the question has already been warmly deliberated whether they shall not make an "auk.iti " at tho Honoira stieam, two miles on the other side of the confiscated line. Nothing has, however, been decided, the matter having been left to tho King to settle on hi« arrival. This "auk.iti," of courao, would bo merely a temporary one, lasting only ho long ai the meeting itself, being made with the object of securing themselves from tho prosence of Europeans.
