KAWHIA.
On the arrival of the Government steamer last Tuesday with Mr. Bryce's secretary on board, a. meeting -was held with the natives I who were concerned in destroying the beaccna erected by Captain Fairchild about the entrance to the harbour. Mr. Butler, who was accompanied by Mr. W. Duncan, J.P., or Aotea, explained to the principal aggressors, Xihirabi and Tu te Ao, that the penalty for damaging the Government property was a year's imprisonment. He told them to re-erect the beacons, and they would be allowed one week in which to do so. This the natives refused to do, and because of their peremptory manuer, I believe they meant what they said. The Hinemoa is expected back in a week. There are not many natives connected with the late outrage. The Hinemoa put into Raglan on Tuesday evening for the purpose of despatching a messenger with a telegram to Hamilton station.—[Own Correspondent, September 29.)
