NAPIER. This Day. At a meeting of the Education Board yesterday, letters were read from the Gisborne School Committee, intimating that they would put the compulsory clauses of the Education Act into operation on the 3rd of October, and requesting that Mias Sheppard be placed on the same footing as Miss Browne m regard to salary. The Secretary was directed to reply that Miss Sheppard's salary was m accordance with the Boards' regulations, and that Miss Browne is receiving salary on the Auckland scale. WELLINGTON. This Day. It is expected that a resolution will be moved on the Address iv Keply to the Governor's speech of no confidence m the Government as at present constituted, without any reference to its administration, as the Opposition consider it inadvisable to allow Sir George Grey time to win over waverers.

He has been warned that lie will be taken prisoner if he persists, as Tawhiao claims jurisdiction. No violence is threatened at present, though parties of Natives are stated to be out watching, and the chief agitator U known to have brought ins gun with vim. GRAHAMSTOWN. This Day. A pigeon express to the Thames Advertiser last mglit brought an account ot I'uKitiiuo's mission to t ie Ng.itiuako settlement, at Otaumaruiuira. He was accompanied by Tinipaka and others. They were met by a portion of the Ngatihako tribe, including Pakara ; but Epiha was not present. Pakara stated, that he was not going to be made a martyr of, and that neither he nor Epiha would give them selves up, and that it was therefore no use for deputations to ci me up to the settlement. The Hauraki chiefs told the Ngatihako'ts plainly that they would not pay for the Ngatihako's crime. Evidently the Ngatihako people are m great trouble. Tupikino urged repeatedly that the offence, being a b.each ot the European law, the oifuudeiß should be tried by the Supreme Court. He was met by a reply that as the Ngatihako were merely preventing other persons from stealing their laud, the shooting was m aocordance with Tawhiao's law, and was not a breach of the law of the Government, nor was it m any way a disturbance of the peace of Hauraki. It appears now ttiat the Ngatihako's will abide the event at their own settlement, but there are natives amongst them whose presence -should induce the greatest precaution, and is iv the ciicumstance a peril to the settlers. NEW PLYMOUTH. - This Day. The Parihaka meeting was continued yesterday. Te Whiti again made a long speech, m which he asserted he was the chief power on earth and had been invested with supreme authority by the Almighty. If the builder erected a house it would not stand unless he sanctioned it. If a blacksmith welded a piece of iron it would not hold without his permission. His people still believe m him as implicity as ever. OHRISTCaUROH. This Day. The Mayor has received a telegram from the Premier, stating that work will be given to the unemployed on the railway. The.
