The soldiers entered the sap and com menced digging; no opposition was offered. They proceeded to fire upon the Maori pah. Now," said Thompson to the fighting chiefs, "do what you please." The white flag was hauled down, and the war flag hoisted ; firing continued on both sides during that day, Saturday, and Sunday. The Maories say that during those days they did not lose a man ; on our side Lieutenant Macnaughten, R.A,, was killed, and several men wounded. Wil liam Thompson _took no part in the.fighting. On Monday Mr. M`Lean, the Native Secretary, arrived and had an interview with Thompson. He had not brought the Governor's consent to the troops being taken away from Waitara. Thompson was much annoyed, and asked what he had come for ; he thought the Governor was very foolish.; however, he would have no more to do with Waitara, he had told all the Maories to disperse, Waitara was left under the protection of the law, and he should re turn to Waikato forthwith. Air. M'Lean said that if the various tribes would cease hostilities and dis perse the Governor would treat with them sepa rately. There were four matters to be disposed of —l. The disputed land at Waitara ; 2. The mur ders; 3. The property of settlers that had been taken or destroyed; 4. The Maori King. Thompson returned from Waitara mortified and disappointed. He went down with intentions friendly to the English, desirous of distinction no doubt, but of the distinction of a peacemaker ; his advances were rejected, he was accused of promoting war and rebellion, he was forced into the position of a belligerent though he had never fired a shot, and he - came back under a threat of war. After visiting several tribes on and near Waikato, to as certain their sentiments about the surrender of 'the Maori King, he settled quietly down at Tamahere, Wetini's village, on the Upper Waikato, hoisted a white flag, and waited for the Governor's next move. He had declined a proposed meeting with him at Mangere, on the ground that he feared imprisonment. He informed Europeans by whom he was visited that they were all de termined to uphold the King; that they were no breakers of the treaty of Waitangi, for neither his father, himself, nor any of the Waikatoes had ever signed or agreed to it, except seven old men who had been bribed by blankets to do so. He denied, however, that there was any desire on their part to trample upon the authority of the Queen ; they had constituted Potatan their head, and called him King as a centre round which they might rally, in order that they might do for themselves what had not been done for them—namely, make laws to take the place of their old Maori customs which were obso lete or injurious. He thought that their King should be to them what the Governor was to the Europeans; that the two races should be united by one law, and that the Queen should be over them all. At the same time they wished to administer English law themselves—that is, to take our laws, so far as suitable to their circumstances, and carry them out among themselves, without being respon sible to any higher authority. In the month of May a clerk of the Native-office was sent with a letter to Thompson, reminding him that a portion of his tribe and other Waikatoes had, without provocation, gone down to fight at Tara naki, and asking what compensation they intended to make for the evil they had done. Soon after the receipt of this letter Thompson began a reply to the Governor in vindication of the Waikato tribes, but before it was finished and despatched the Governor's printed ultimatum was brought by a native into Waikato. It contained a strong denunciation of the King party, who were accused of being the authors of nearly all the mischief which had oc curred since the commencement of the Taranaki war. "The Governor," it said, "cannot permit the present state of things to continue. No option now rests with him ; he has been commanded by her Majesty the Queen to suppress unlawful com binations, and to establish beyond a question her Majesty's sovereignty in New Zealand." Thomp son read a copy of this proclamation aloud toWilliam King, and a party of other influential chiefs, who were lodging at Rapa, a village near Tamahere, on their way to a great meeting to be held at Ngar nawahia ; his audience expressed no opinion further than a want of confidence in any document pro ceeding from the Government. The meeting at Ngarnawahia began on Monday, June 3. The following account of what took place is from a gentleman who was present, and whose statements may be relied upon :—Tuesday, Wed nesday, and Thursday were spent in talk and eat ing, but it was not until Thursday that any ques tion of real importance was discussed, when the following points were brought forward:— "1. The taking down of the King's flag, and breaking up the league into which they had entered to keep their land. "2. The restoration of plunder and payment for what had been destroyed. " 3. What should be regarded as a recommence ment of hostilities on the part of the troops." The first question was disposed of almost entirely by Thompson, who commenced by denying that the flag had ever been intended to do away with the supremacy of the Queen as the protector of their rights and privileges; it was the badge of an agreement made among themselves not to part with land, and to hold meetings which should take cognisance of and suppress evil among them selves. lle detailed what he considered had resulted from this combination ; disputes about boundaries existing at its commencement had been set at rest; other disputes of the same kind that had since arisen had been quietly arranged; drunkenness, adultery, &c., had been suppressed, and they were now working to 'put down other evils also that were still existing. He denied that the flag had ever been the cause of the Waikatoes going to Ta ranaki, but he maintained that blood relationship would have driven them to it had there been no flag. He expressed his good will to Europeans generally, declaring that he had never yet fought against them, but had been the means of stopping fighting in Waitara ; but he intimated that, in the event of hostilities being recommenced, he could remain neutral no longer. He ended by saying that when the flag was set up upon any land fairly sold to the Queen, or when it otherwise interfered with the rights of the colonists, then would be the time for the Governor to interfere. The meeting then proceeded to discuss the second point. The argument used was, that the Queen's troops had commenced the war; had attacked and destroyed William King's pab, with all that was in it ; had appropriated horses and cattle which he and others had about Waitara, and burnt and de stroyed their property. It was therefore unfair to demand restitution and compensation from them, while the Governor did not say a word about com pensating William King. Moreover, very little plunder was brought away by the Waikatoes, who did not go to plunder colonists, but to defend their friends from the attacks of the soldiers. On the third head, it was resolved.that the sur vey of any of the lands of William King and his tribe, or the movement of troops to Maungatwiri (the point where the great south road meets the Waikato river), or to any point where it would be clear that a hostile movement against them was intended, would be a call to them to wake out of sleep. At the conclusion of the meeting Thompson read a rough copy of the letter which he had prepared for the Governor, and which, after some revision, was generally assented to. The Runanga also atL dressed a letter to the Governor. They expressed a wish that the letters should be printed for gene ral information. These letters are very uncompro mising, and do not contain even that verbal acknow. ledgment of the Queen's supremacy which Thompson has made both publicly and privately on several recent occasions. There is no doubt that William Thompson is at present engaged in active preparations for war. He is visiting the natives from Tauranga to the East Cape, probably to ascertain what support in men and ammunition he can count upon. He still ex presses a strong desire f or p eace, an d a determina tion not to be the first to commence a struggle, vihich he is aware must end in the destruction of his race, but for the consequences of which 'he does not consider himself in any way guilty. EWQUAY, CORNWALL, Sept. 17.—1 t blew here o Saturday last a strong gale from the north-east, which caused the sea to run very high. It was accordingly thought a desirable opportunity by the hon. secretary of the Newquay branch of the National Lifeboat Institution to test thoroughly the beautiful lifeboat which that society sent here some time ago. The boat was accordingly brought out mounted on her transporting carriage, and having been fully manned, was, with much promptitude, launched frc.n the carriage. Her crew, with the oars in their hands, soon obtained headway before the advancing breakers had time to beat the boat broadside on the beach. The waves' r; deed, did run very high, and broke with much vi°l t en h e 4 imu the boat nobly breasted them and fully c onfirmed capable of pression of her crew, that their lifeboat was es rescuing a shipwrecked erew in the most furious gale- NARY ROMANCE IN H LIFE. RUGBY, WEDNESDAY. It was arranged, at the conclusion of the exami nation of Richard Guinness Hill on Monday, that he should be admitted to bail, himself in £5OO and two sureties of £5OO each, with the ordinary twenty-four hours' notice to the prosecution. As, however, the bail was thought likely to be obtained in London, with the view of preventing the deten tion of the prisoner at the station longer than was necessary, Mr. Cooke, the solicitor for the prosecu tion, was sworn to make proper inquir . can . , to the .. character of the b a il expected to be teddeted, and it m u n was e a - teagreedb yletter t if o Mr. satisfact ory ; he n sli d - e 6 n u t rd W ee i na ld, who received authority from the Superin mag istrates to release the prisoner when h e received i nstructions to that effect from Mr. Cooke. Up to the present time, however, no such letter has been received here ; and consequently the prisoner remains in a cell as the police station. The non-production of sureties is considered somewhat remarkable, inas much as the prisoner evinced the greatest possible anxiety on - Monday to obtain the magistrates' sanc tion that he might be admitted to bail, and it was believed it would be forthcoming immediately ; but it is understood that not even has a single application been made to Mr. Cooke on the sub ject. The magistrates directed Inspector Wild to supply the prisoner with an unlimited amount of stationary, so that he should have full opportunity of communicating with any persons he thought advisable ; and he has, it is said, freely availed himself of the privilege. Still bail have not pre sented themselves. The prisoner, athis own request, has been permitted to expend the money taken from him when apprehended in the purchase of food ; and as he made a special request for a supply of some description of drink beyond that usually allowed to prisoners, the magistrates empowered Inspector Wild to let him have beer whenever he liked. • He converses in reference to the case with little reserve; but at times he appears downcast and unhappy. He states that he was unaware of the existence of the warrant for his apprehension or he would not have left the Continent, where his liberty was not in peril. _ It seems that when the child was-discovered by Brett in the filthy den in Lincoln-court, Drury-lane, the prisoner was living in Brussels, and although his wife resided in the same city, they were not upon friendly terms. The child was taken over to Brussels, and placed by its mother under proper medical treatment- The arrival of the infant be came known to Hill, who exerted himself to see it ; on one occasion, when the nurse was walking with it in a garden, he came to the railings, and induced the servant girl to allow him to kiss it. He after wards forwarded a frock, made of costly mate rials, and other presents, but they were returned, and his endeavours to resume friendly relations with his wife were more and more discouraged. The London police were well aware of his move ments in Brussels, but they could not secure his apprehension. The warrant was in Brett's pos session, but Hill was out of the English jurisdic tion, and as long as he remained in Belgium the English law was powerless. It was thought at first that , finding his wife was not disposed to listen to his entreaties to live with him again, he would leave Brussels for the purpose of proceeding to Dublin, where many of his friends resided, and he was strictly watched for some time. He, however, evinced no disposition to take his departure ; and Mrs. Hill was ultimately advised to return to England, the hope being entertained that she would be followed by ber husband, who would then in all probability fall into the hands of the police. The ruse suc ceeded ; and it is necessary to give the particulars of his arrival in London and capture, which are much more interesting than the outline already published, somewhat in detail. Although it was hoped Hill would followed his wife, it was imperative to ob serve much caution in every step taken, and, to pre vent his suspicion being aroused that he was likely to fall into a trap, it was endeavoured to be shown that Mrs. Hiil was anxious to escape from him and keep her residenc4 unknown. A peculiar course was arranged. The lady was located by her friends in Trinity-square, Southwark; but her residence was forwarded to Brussels, and the husband was made acquainted with it. He imagined, it is be lieved, that she had sele6ted the spot for secrecy, and thought to obtain an interview with her without difficulty. He crossed from Ostend on Saturday morning, and, upon reaching London, sought out and discovered the house where his wife was residing. At this time he wore very large black whiskers and moustache, which ren dered identification a matter of great difficulty, if not of impossibility. He noticed a bill an flouncing apartments to let in a house a few doors removed from that where his wife resided, and he at once took the vacant rooms. He subsequently told the landlady a portion of his story, asserted that his wife's mind had been poisoned against him by her friends, and entreated her to assist him in procuring an interview with Mrs. Hill. The land lady promised her aid, and at his request she went to Mrs. Hill's house, and found that lady absent. The two housekeepers had a conversation respect ing the extraordinary avowal of the prisoner ; and as it was known where Mrs. Hill was staying, she was communicated with, and upon ascertaining what had transpired, determined at once to seek the assistance of Brett, who went over to Trinity square as soon as possible. When the prisoner found his wife had returned home he again sent his landlady to solicit an interview, if only for a few minutes. He was told to come, and when he pre sented himself he pulled off the false whiskers and moustache and thrust them into his hat. Brett then produced and read his warrant, and having put the prisoner into a cab, had him taken to Bow lane station, where he remained until morning, when he was conveyed to Rugby. The prisoner had not much cash in his posses sion ; his purse only contained five English sove reigns, two half Napoleons, and a few silver Eng lish and foreign coins. From other circumstances which have transpired since the apprehension, it appears that Mrs. Hill was married to the prisoner when -she was only sixteen years of age ; and that the British Vice-Consul at Brussels (Mr. T. J. Maltby) officiated as notary, and prepared the marriage settlements. A life interest in the whole of Mrs. Hill's fortune, with exception of £lOO ayear, which was to be paid to her by her husband, was, as already stated, settled upon the prisoner, but it is asserted that there are eight annual payments still due to Mrs. Hill, and that civil proceedings had, prior to his arrest, been commenced against the prisoner to recover the same. It is said, too, th a t the child had been made a ward in Chancery, and pending the proceedings connected with th e su i t , that the dividends heretofore received by the pri soner had been stopped. This is supposed to account for Hill's anxiety to procure an interview with his wife, who, he hoped, would interest herself on his behalf. Being well acquainted with the prisoner's hand writing, the Vice-Consul came to England and gave evidence before Mr. Caldecott, one of the local magistrates here, to the effect that the signature to the false particulars of registration had been written by Hill ; and it was mainly upon Mr. Maltby's evi dence that the warrant was granted for the pri soner's apprehension. Mr. Maltby is still Vice- Consul at Brussels ; but in reply to a telegram announcing prisoner's apprehension, he expresses his readiness to come over, and do all in his power to assist the ends of justice, and, by vindicating the parentage of the child, place him in his proper posi tion in society. Two or three singular matters have transpired, which will strengthen the evidence to be brought forward to prove the identity of the child. The two women who rece i ve d i t state that when they were paid the £l5 b afraid of losing th e money, and it Hill they were it was decided by them to place £5 in each of their names in the St. Martin's Savings Bank. Sevch has, it is under stood, been made in the books at the bank, and the truth of the woman's statement established, both as to amount and date, the latter, of course, being, in a legal point of view, highly important. Both of these women 'will give evidence before the magis trates • but as one of them, Mrs. Scott, alias Idle, is in Tothill-fields Prison, under sentence of twelve months' hard labour for robbery, it will be neces sary to procure her attendance here by habeas. The prisoner, it seems, has admitted that the woman to whom he gave the child told him her name was Farebrother (Mrs. Andrews's alias), which he says he remembers distinctly because of certain peculiar circumstances which he narrated ; but as they re fer to an illustrious personage totally unconnected with the case, we refrain from publishing. them. Farebrother states that she had the child registered as Albert Farebrother, and ascribes thst, if it had died, she would have experienced considerable difficulty in procuring its interment. The register has been examined, an d an entry found showing that on the 28th o as her reason f February, 1859, a child, described as being three weeks old, was .t re gistered in that name. " W.

On Monday evening the meeting about to commence on the morrow gave,token]ofsoming greatness. Trains from all parts of England were seen to discharge their living freights at the railway terminus, excursion accidents were forgotten, and the subscription rooms at night were better attended— and by better company—than we have seen them for seve ral years. The morning of Tuesday brought a fresh influx of visitors. The sale of blood stoek in the horse fair fur nished occupation for gentlemen not wishing to bet, and the state of the odds provided excitement for those wh,o did. A: Well-filled card produced an excellent day's racing, and a large attendance in the stand showed the advantage of libe rality in the management. Sixty-four horses ran for the different stakes during the day, the most interesting of which was the Champagne. By that race The Marquis, who required to be roused before he, could win, did not im prove his position for next year's Derby. The weather was dry, but hazy, and betting on the St. Leger filled up the in tervals, between th 6 races. In the rooms at night - the plot began to thicken ; standing room was hardly to be obtained, and the reigning favourite became firmer in his position as the time approached for people to retire. The morning of the St. Leger was, as St. Leger morn ings have been time out of mind, the signal for every street and every avenue to the town to be crowded. Before 12 o'clock a mass of moving heads were seen wending its way towards the racecourse, which presented the usual features of a Yorkshire gathering where horse is the object of at tention and horse appears to reign supreme. In the horse fair the sales of blood stock were most attractive, the yearlings from the stud of the Earls of Derby and Scar borough and Mr. Pedley realising very high prices. The only noticeable feature in the betting. market was the in creased favour shown to Kildonan, about whom 7 to 1 was freely taken, while outsiders appeared on the decline. The favourite continued firm as on the previous evening, any offer above 5 to 4 being eagerly accepted. The mass of visitors who go annually to Doncaster for one day only were agreeably surprised at finding a new terrace-platform at the end of the Grand-stand, with such a lavatory behind it as no railway station in England is furnished with. Before the Scarborough-Fitzwilliam Stand stood the carriage of the former nobleman, but the latter was unfortunately ab sent, a fall from his horse while cub-hunting on Saturday morning having broken his collar-bone. Of the two races before the St. Leger slight heed was taken, and at three o'clock the clerk of the scales was heard to call for "Any jockey not weighed for the Leger ?" Punctual to the mo ment the field of 18 mustered at the starting-post, after having entered the paddock and taken their canters. At the sixth attempt they got off nearly in a line, the favourite having a very prominent position, while the winner, un thought of even by her owner, lay about the centre of her horses, until symptoms of distress began to show them selves in some of those before her. She was ridden with great patience by her young jockey, who waited at the side of Rogers on The Sage until the moment for going up ar rived, when he quitted him, and was soon seen among the leaders. This was the fastest St. Leger ever known, and it is not a little remarkable that the winner of it was offered for sale on Tuesday evening at 1,200 guineas. The last bet that we saw taken on the race was 500 to 6 against Caller Ou. Her owner did not back her, and Grimshaw, who was engaged to ride her, begged to be allowed to change his mount; his request was granted, and he rode Camerino. The tumult consequent on a great event soon subsided, and the remaining races seemed to have no attraction for the assembled thousands, who had passed a glorious day upon Doncaster Town Moor.

After the horses had taken a preliminary canter they reached the post precisely at the time set down on the card, but the start was delayed some time through Camerino, The Sage, Conqueror, and the favourite repeatedly breaking away. At last the cry of " They're off" arise, and Camerino was seen in front, but after the first 100 yards had been traversed he was passed by Yorkminster, who increased the pace, followed by the favourite, next the rails, Came rino going on third, Lady Ripon fourth, Dictator fifth, with Imaus next; the others, headed by Aurelian and The Sage, lying in a cluster at their heels, will the excep tion of Brown Stout, Janus, and Conqueror, who were last, some distance in the rear. In this order they proceeded without any material change towards the hill, approaching which Lady Ripon was seen to give way, and shortly after fell into the sixth place. The leading horses at the same time got closer together, and on rounding the Fitz-William turn Yorkminster gave way to Kettledrum, who, with Camerino, Caller Ou, and Dictator in close attendance, came on with a clear lead, Kildonan, with Imaus and Russ.. ley, lying up. Passing the rifle butts Kettledrum:increased his lead to a couple of lengths in advance of Camerino, Dictator, and Caller Ou, who were followed by Aurelian, Kildonan, Janus, and Imaus, and to these the race ap peared confined.

William Thompson, who is at present playing so conspicuous a part in the affairs of New Zealand, is the principal chief of the Ngatihana tribe, which inhabits a large and fertile tract of country lying between the Waikato and Thames rivers. The name of his father, Te Waharoa, is still notorious in Wai kato for the ferocity and cunning which he exhibited in the perpetual land feuds of the last generation: Thompson is more than 40 years old and not very prepossessing in personal appearance ; he has always borne a high character among the missiona ries and his other European acquaintances. Though undoubtedly ambitious, he has uniformly evinced the desire to attain distinction by good rather than by evil actions. At his conversion to Christianity he declared that he would never fight again; since that time, though living in the midst of innumera ble quarrels and bloodshed, he has never personally engaged in war, but bas consistently and most suc cessfully performed the part of a peacemaker. There is every reason to believe his own assertion, that he originally conceived the idea of a Maori king as a means of putting a stop to the bloody land feuds by which the Waikato district was being depopu lated. For this object the establishment of a king proved completely successful. Thompson has been an active promoter of schools, having maintained at his own village, Matamata, a school of 60 children for nearly three years, without any assistance from the Government and without the advantage of a European teacher, for which he has always been most anxious. Even during the perplexities and excitement of the past year he has been continuous in his efforts for this object, and has at length ob tained a teacher, who is to go to Matamata as soon as the present troubles are over. Thompson has been at all times a steady advocate for the establish ment of law and order among his countrymen. Having embraced Christianity from conviction, and not from hereditary custom, and being in the habit of constantly reading the Bible as almost his only literature, he defends his actions by religious maxims, and intersperses his writings with biblical quotations to what appears to us an unusual degree. It would be a mistake to suppose this the result of cant or hypocrisy. This man has recently become the head and mouth. piece of the Waikato tribes and their adherents, who comprise the great majority of the Maories ; it is by negotiation with him that the Government of New Zealand proposes to decide whether there is to be peace or war between the two races. It may, therefore, be not uninteresting to the public to be informed of the attitude which Thompson has assumed towards the English Government since the commencement of the New Zealand war, and the events which have led to the temporary union under his leadership of a race which has hitherto been in a condition of constant confusion and dis cord. The writer has endeavoured to confine him self strictly to matters of fact, leaving the reader to draw his own conclusions. For some time after the commencement of the war at Taranaki, which took tha Waikato tribes completely by surprise, Thompson expressed no opinion as to the merits of the contending parties. At the great meeting held at Ngarnawahia in May, 1860, he made a speech urging delay and caution. They were, he said, totally in the dark theas to the rights of William King l an d• causes for which the Governor had dee are d carefullywar after they had learned the facts thought over the matters which had and dled to war it would be time enough for action. In . accord ance with a requisition from William i King, who then for the first time gave in h s adhesion to the Maori King party, the flag was sent down to the Waitara to be hoisted over his land ; but it was not sent as a flag of war, nor to the disputed block. At first only a few adventurous volunteers went down from Waikato to fight at Waitara, animated by the same sort of motives that recruited a regiment of English for the service of Garibaldi ; but when the war was prolonged, when troops were brought over from Australia to aid the Government, when the belief that William King was an injured man became almost universally diffused among his coun trymen, and when he himself pressed for assistance many influential Waikato chiefs became desirous to support in arms that cause which they believed to be a just one. Among others, Wetini, a chief of one of the branches of the Ngatihana tribe, and a relative and close friend of William Thompson, re solved to go. Thompson appears at this time to have been satisfied of the justice of William King ' s o%use, but not of the right of Waikato to interfere in his behalf ; at any rate, he strongly dissuaded Watini from going. lie used religious arguments against war ; he held a meeting of the tribe, at which Wetini's proposals found only nine supporters and for the time succeeded in keeping him back. But three weeks latter a letter came from William King, asking why they had had sent him only a disembodied flag, and why they did not personally longer, October, numberetoeb and , e Theno 86h gs, w I c a o s m t ew de nunciations,otrod s t h o e a l hn p i dm h ( i fmor. prayers,thW ys e e t pt i ao n rff i t eac with o a u a almost ad oconsiderableanger o ) again s t th e G overnment The Patumahoe affair, w hi c h too k p l ace i n osptarainitsbedetoshftteoohp onlytthh eerew. friend's ar argument, Thompson's ." occasion The h on e corps w e h o i f ch Thompson ap peare d as a party to any hostile demon strationa Maori, with gunshot wounds in the hand and head, was found in the forest in the neighbourhood of Patu mahoe, a village lying between the lower end of the Waikato river and the Manukan harbour. The hasty inference that he had been murdered by a European spread like wildfire among the already excited na tives, and brought some dozen canoes with 300 or 400 armed men down the river, bent upon an in quest into the cause of their countryman's death. Among them was Willam Thompson. They stopped a day at Paetai, danced a war-dance, and held a meeting; at the close of the proceedings a letter was received from Isaac, the chief of the dead man's tribe, stating that all was right and they might re turn ; bat, knowing Isaac to be in the pay of the Government, they continued their course to Tuakan, a Maori village on the river near Patumahoe, and not 40 miles from Auckland, to inquire for them selves. They were there met by several chiefs friendly to Government, by the Bishop of New Zealand, and by Archdeacon Maunsell, of the Church Missionary Society; and finding that there was not the slightest clue to the perpetrators of the deed, and that it was even uncertain whether the death was not after all accidental, the canoes and armed men went back up the river, having done no further harm than giving the Auckland public a fright. Thompson both at the time and aftetwards justified his share in these proceedings by saying that the young men were resolved to go down to Patumahoe, and that he was unable to restrain them frcm so doing, butthat by accompanying them it was possible that he might keep them from mis chief when there. It is certain that at Paetai he ad vocated a return. While discussions were going on at Tuakan a chief named Whakapankai (which, in free English, is " Gorging Jacky"), who enjoys one of the worst reputations in Waikato, separated with some choice spirits, in two canoes from the main body and paddled down the river on some private exhibition of his own. His absence was pointed out to Thompson, who exhibited the liveliest con cern, and promptly sent off a letter to fetch him, back. Had there been the least delay or lukewarm ness in this matter Thompson's interference would have been too late to prevent bloodshed. Immediately after the termination of the Patumahoe affair the news of the battle of Mahoe tahi, in which Wetini and many of the Ngatihana tribe bad fallen, reached Waikato. This disaster, so far from disheartening the Waikato tribes and putting an end to their interference in the war, as was expected by many persons in England, had the contrary effect of increasing their excitement, and many who had disapproved of Wetini's expedition were now burning to join in the conflict and avenge the blood of their kinsmen. Thompson himself was strongly pressed to go, but he appears to have been still restrained by conscientious scruples. Numbers of his tribe, however, went and distin guished themselves by ill-judged and reckless assaults on the English positions, in which many lives were lost. These continued misfortunes were from time to time reported in Waikato ; wounded men returned to their villages, and Thompson was cobstantly and urgently called upon to go. The great losses which his tribe had suffered in many instances from want of a prudent leader weighed strongly in Thomp son's mind, and was, perhaps, the paramount con sideration which prompted him to visit the scene of conflict and endeavour to stay that destruction of his tribe which threatened soon to destroy his own influence and importance. He went, however, not as a belligerent, but as a peacemaker. William Thompson arrived at the Waitara on Monday, the 11th of March. Before entering Pukerangiora, the besieged Pah, he halted on the north bank of the river, opposite to the English camp, to which he sent a letter asking for a truce on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, to give him an opportunity of visiting Te Rangitake (William King) and the fighting chiefs. He stated that he was a man of authority, and that his tribe would make good his stipulations, General Pratt's reply reproved him for dissimulation, and exhorted him to candour. The truce on Tuesday and Wednes day would be granted, but the peacemaker was warned in strong terms to keep his word, "lest he should be known as a deceitful man." Upon receiving this lett er , it b e i ng then late in the afternoon, Thompson went on to Pukerangiora. On the following morning a white flag was hoisted on the pallisades of the pah, but, as there was no wind to blow it out, the firing of our troops had recommenced before it was perceived. Thompson sat down, and wrote an answer to the General's letter of the previous afternoon. I see," he wrote, " that you accuse me of deceiving you. You have been crafty towards me ; your soldiers have come to-day within the trench, and fired. Now, I know, in the first pace, you are a crafty man, and, in the second, you are a man with out authority among your people." The mistake was explained, and an apology offered for the harsh missive with which communications had opened the day before. The greater part of Tuesday was taken up in talking over those Waikato chiefs who had already taken part in the war, and who, when Thompson's pacific intentions were announced, cried and shouted against them. It was already afternoon before the desired unanimity among the Waikatoes had been attained. A message was then sent to William King to desire a talk, which, at the request of that chief, was fixed for the following morning. On Wednesday the meeting between Thompson's party, the fighting Waikatoes, and William King's tribe took place. The proceedings were opened by Thompson, who, after abundant circumlocutions, at length plainly broached the important opinion that, however much William King might be interested in the disputed land at Waitara and in the quarrel, it was no business of the Waikatoes. " No," said William King, interrupting him, " neither Waitara nor the quarrel is mine ; they are yours." " No," retorted Thompson, " they are yours." " No ; they are yours." " Why, look at a man," continued Thompson, " his head is head ; his hands, hands ; and his legs, legs. You are the head, Waikato is only the legs." " No, you aro the head." "No, you." " Yes?' said William King, "I am the head ; Waitara is mine, the quarrel is mine. There I give Waitara to you." He further declared, in answer to Thompson, that his gift was free and unreserved, and that be claimed no fur ther voice whatever in the disposal of the land. Hapurona (who has since made a separate peace with the Governor), and the various Wai kato and Ngatimaniapoto chiefs were successively challenged, and publicly announced their assent to William King's gift, and their willingness that the unreserved disposal of the land should be yielded to William Thompson. Thus suddenly appointed sole arbitrator on the native side, Thompson proceeded to make his , award. " Waikato! back to Waikato ! To Atiawa away to Mataitawa ! Ngatimanui! return to your homes ! Let the soldiers be taken back to New Plymouth ; Waitara shall be left under the protec tion of the law." A letter was sent the same evening to the General, to propose a cessation of hostilities on both sides, and that the land question should be left for the decision of the Great Runanga (coun cil) of the Queen. On Thursday morning an inter view took place between Thompson and an officer of the Native Department. The former repeated his proposals, and begged that the troops might be at once taken back to New Plymouth ; he was told that the Governor alone had power to order such a step, and was invited, if really desirous of peace, to proceed by 'ship to Auckland. " What," asked Thompson, " was the crime of Ramparaha (a chief who was kidnapped and car r i e d o ff i n a man-of war by Sir George Grey), and what was the crime of Pomare P These men's crimes were mere trifles; I am a very bad man, far worse than either of them ; I am both a King-maker and the head of this quarrel. I dare not go on board your ship, lest I should be treated as Ranparaha and Pomate were." He offered to go by land and meet the Governor in three days at Tuakan, the nearest point of the Waikato river to Auckland. "If the Governor is afraid to come there," he said, "let him bring his soldiers to take car e o f hi m; or, if he does not like to talk in the open air, let him come to Ngarna wahia ; we have a house (the Maori King's palace) there." As it was found impossible to persuade the chief to venture into our power, it was at last agreed that his proposals should be sent by steamer to tte Governor at Auckland ; but the General would not consent to a suspension of hostilities until an answer should be received. Thompson in vain urged the desirability of saving human life; the General re plied that it would be a waste of time, and that nge, ast. :ked ack. the mer } Yi. mse, oner was the your hich ence 'own s of oner iere of a )sled not ught IIOL was ffing and reef, 1 of 46, )ugh bout is an with con- sing, crew face, tion, been the and i the was met, t she d in it of ered rally por any hing Lted, her wit ?ging stuff the 3om- that cries pro- ad a 0 30a 0 343 0 26s o 510 0 40s .uled arti- last achy )od y am Jeri- wife ain, Kr. ?•,h -aet, ish ar ;h- of It
