ALEXANDRA. 6th January.
One of the most important native meetings held for some time past will be held on Friday next, at Hawea, Kopua. It is called by the Ngatimaniapoto chiefs, including some of Rewi's relatives. They are disgusted by newspaper reports of lands having agreed to be granted for railway purposes, and wish native lands to be once more formally banded over to Tawhiao, and be given sole iurisdicton. The encroachment of pakehas and half-castes into and occupying native lands is also tffbe taken into consideration. Rewi has been invited to attend, and he has requested that Mr. S,heehan should also be present. This has been agreed to by Manuhiri and others, if the Native Minister should think proper to attend.
