W&itearh fi ; oia our AJtycandra corjespondent that Te Kooti Yam been receiv ed as a guest by the King, which has tended to. complicate matters. A meeting ol ratepayers oi the Cambridge district was held at the Duke of Edinburgh hotel, Cambridge, oa Monday, the 27th ult. Mr, J. C. Uey : nolds occupied the chair. The chairman explained that the object of the meeting was to elect two re-, presentatives to the Agricultural Society : the main object of which Society would be to make arrangemeats, fur an agricultural show next season. On the, motion of Mr. cSelb-y, Messrs. James Runciman and G. ii Clark were appointed representatives to the Society for the Cambridge district. We learn that our correspondent was mistaken in thinking that, the Orderlies passing between Hamilton and Alexandra had refused to carry our papers- We were inclined to believe the report, as from some cause our papers did not reach their destination, and gave publicity to.it inconsequence. Now that we tind- the report, unfounded we are sorry that we did so. We express our opinion, and that of the majority of the settlers, when we say that the members of the constabulary force have always shewn themselves foremost in advancing the interests of the district in which they are located. South's Polygraphic Company performed last night at Ngaruawahia, and on Wednesday evening at Hamilton, for the benefit of the school They had good and appreciative audiences on both occasions. They leave for Auckland this morning, after a successful tour through the Waikato. We understand that they will perform in the suburbs of Auckland, and afterwards will give a series of entertainments &i the different settlements on the East Coast. His Excellency the Governor will arrive m the Waikato either to-day or to-morrow. We understand that he has left Auckland. His. presence at the meeting to be held shortly has been much desired by the natives, and we trust that, in conjunction with the Defence Minister, he will succeed in convincing the King of the error of his. ways.
