The Postage Tax Rescinded. — The Independent of the 9th inst., says : — "It is satistory to learn that the present Ministry has kept its pledge to remove the impost on newspapers in the shape ef the penny postage, "which, during the past few weeks, has been levied. At a recent Cabinet Council during Sir George Grey's brief stay, it was decided that on and after the 20th inst., the tax should cease to be levied. We anticipate that a proclamation to this effect will shortly be issued, meantime we give the statement as it has reached us from an authentic source." Wi Tako and a small body of chiefe from Otaki and Manawatu — all opposed to the pai marire movement — have arrived overland at Hapuku's pah on a special mission to counteract the efforts of the kau hau emissaries. After using their influence at Hapuku's pah, they intended proceeding on to Wairoa and Poverty Bay.
