O 10 O £900 Owing to the great length of the report which we publish in this issue of the Native Tangi at Napier for the late Sir Donald McLean, we are obliged to leave out our usual Parliamentary report. In consequence of the cessation of the publication of the Waka Maori for a time, and owing also to the large amount of important matter which we have found it necessary to publish, our letters from correspondents have largely accumulated, so much so that we cannot publish a tithe of them. The letters now lying in our pigeon-holes embrace every imaginable variety of subject of which it is possible for the Maori brain to con- ceive. We have letters on political economy, letters on theology, astronomy, ornithology, philomathy, philanthropy, ichthyology, agrarianism, land-surveying, the phenomena of nature, witchcraft, amalgamation of the races, Good Templar- ism, drunkenness, law and lawyers, public meetings, election- eering matters, education, feasts, marriages, deaths, social economy, and natural philosophy generally.
