Mutuai Intesthekt Society.— As will be observed on perusal of tho Superintendent's Speech in the Provincial Council, on Saturday last, his Honor has succeeded in obtaining as a loan the Bum of £35,000 from tho Mutual Investment Society on security of tho land in progress of reclamation — "an amount which (his Honor remarks) will enable mo not merely to defray the expense of the reclamation, but also to retrieve the Provincial Revenue of a contribution of some £10,000 towards tho cost of the wharf."

Te TJa. — The Wanganui Times says: — "During tho stay of the s.s. Storm Bird at Wangaimi, Te TJa expressed a wish to visit Walter Buller, Esq., R.M., and whilst in tho office of that gentleman, wrote letters to several of the tribes in those districts, advising them to abandon tho Hau-hau superstition. Ho left by the Storm Bird for TaranaM on Saturday last and now tho question arises, what course will ho adopted whon set at liberty ? It will bo quito competent for him to depatch letters throughout tbo length and breadth of tho island informing the tribes that all ho had written whilst in custody was written under coercion. This arch impostor would be less dangerous if sent to the Chatham Islands than he will have the power to be if let loose m Taranaki."
