RETURN OF MESSRS MOSS AND SEED FROM FIJI.

(per united press association.) Auckland, April 21. Tho delegates to Fiji— Messrs Moss and Seed — returned to-day by tho Arawata. The schooner Christina had arrived from Auckland a few days before the Arawata with Auckland newspapers, etc., and ban* quets to the delegates were arranged at Suva and Levuka, but finding an idea prevalent that the mission was both political and commercial, the delegates asked to be excused from attending any public reception. They state that the reception by both Government and people was most cordial, and express themselves well pleased. They had numerous interviews with the Acting-Governor and Council, who will give the subject full consideration. The Fiji Government will send a delegate to New Zealand to propose a treaty based on the free admission of each other's productions, with power to extend the same treaty to the Australian Colonies. The delegates were unable to get to Levuka or any other place but Suva.

Referring to our Patea correspondent's remarks re the action of the Taranaki Waste Land's Board in refusing the request of the Patea people aa to the openiug up of their baok land, the Taranaki Herald writes :—: — " There ia a good deal of truth in what thia correspondent says, that it would be as well if his suggestion of sending an independent survey party to prospeot the country was carried out. We are well aware from past experience that Bnrveys parties do not always agree as to the value of the land they go overt It is not so long ago that we had differences of opinion with regard to the land on the proposed route of the railway to Auckland ; ivnd it is not improbable, there* fore, that the same difference of opinion may be found to exist with respect to the land referred to. It will, therefore, be just as well for the Land Board to seek fnrther and inde* pendent opinions on the matter before finally closing up this land by disposing of it as runs for grazing and pastoral purposes*" TOWLE'S PENNX ROYAL AND STEEL PILLS FOR FEMALES quickly correct all irregularities, and relieve the distressing symptoms so prevalent with the sex.
