On Friday a^nd Saturday night* but a number of natives in Hamilton hooting and yelling, thereby disturbing the peace of the towmpeople. We consider it is high time that the provisions in the proclamation issued by Mr Mackay were strictly enforced. If some half dozen offfendeif^rt-era taken cure of in the lock-up for the night and fined in the morning, we are under the impression that the nuisance would not bo repeated. It is really necessary in older to prevent unnecessary alarm that ull natives, as ordered, should reuiam in their own places after dark. A very requisite addition has been made to the Delta . '^Tdtel at Ngaruawahn in the shape of a billiard room on *he ground floor, and a sitting room and three bed-rooms above. The work has been executed by Messrs Jones and Pollard, and the manner in which they have fulfilled their contract proves them w be good conscientious workmen . The hotel is now equal, if not superior, to any hotel in tho district. It has come to our knowledge that some natives have left for Melbourne with a considerable amount of cash. It is, of course, difficult to surmise their object, but we would suggest the advisability of putting the Australasian Governments on their guard to prevent the exportation of arms and ammunition for the use of natives in this colony. Nothing would be eusiur than to charter a small vessel and run her into Kawbia harbour with contraband • Wo loam that ouf of tho tery active correspondents of our contemporaries has sturh-d for Te Kuiti, with what object we are at a loss to und«'r»tand, url-« it be to bring about further complication" bv hi* murder. It has been Ir.io from tl'o twgmnine; of tiinr, and we presume will be. to tho. end—" Fools, &c." „,,«• i . Mr Lusk addressed » mei-Un«y Jiwt. night at Ngaruawahio fg tho Bui oriulf ndciK'y flection.

Tne King natives have lately broiyhi. n cni.sidcwble number of cattle into theditf«i«nt for sale. A aiob of forty head was sold at KifaiUu last week at current '^We calfattontion to the adjournment of Mr Lp*'» address at Ham 1( on horn 1 o-day tilt Friday evrnmg next. Mr,T.

The flolowing letter appeared in the columus ot the JNiw mer Daily Telegraph:—" Sir,- 1 beg to cxp»-esB my satisfaction refutiTe to your rectification of a remorarfesa alanoer on me lately published in your columns, and ™ the columiw of various other journals of the colony to the effect, that I was in rame manner implicated in the attack on Mr Mortny. It is now generally known I presume, that the heart 'esj statement in question in utterly baseless ; and the wonder to mo is that I should be suspected of encouraging a murderous attack upon any person, my whole life being one crusade against deeds »t' blood or violence, and one continuous homily in favour of mnral suasion, for I have been long convinced that immeasurable benefits accrue to mankind from the adoption of poaco principle?. At the proper time I trust it will be publicly explained how Mnckay camp to be armed with a revolver in bis tent at To Ku.ti.and the Maori with a paiaka ; the story na it now comes to us is bomewhat mysttirioiu, requiring both elucidation and confirmation. — I am, &c, C.
