In the meantime it is necessary that Mr. Mackay should be left unmolested in the discharge of a work of so much importance to this community, aud we therefore trust that no attempt will be made to prospect for gold in the forbidden neighbourhood whilst the ncgociations are pending. Any attempt of this kind would probably lead to a collision with the obstinate portion of the tribe, and effectually frustrate the completion of an arrangement which must prove of an incalculable benefit to the mining interest of this goldfield, and likewise prevent the carrying out of arrangements entered into with the friendly natives of the Ohinemuri district. A word to the wise is sufficient. I who, from the sale of a portion of their interest and the weekly wage accruing to them under that sale, have sufficient to satisfy their wants, aud prefer loafing about with a shilling or two in their pocket to drink, rather than honestly set to work to do their duty to their fellow workers and to him whom they have sold a portion of a share. There are scores of cases in which this has taken and is now taking place, and it is producing its natural fruit of causing purchasers to be very chary indeed in making their arrangements. ISTow this and the want of machinery, which these shareholders can never supply, is simply killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Speculators cannot month after month pay a considerable amount to men who do little or no work, or continue to have an interest in — J i " claims which, from whatever cause, cannot show some return. And we can foresee very serious consequences as the result of the present system. The only protection from idle and dishonest men is the formation of a company. Then the idle aud the dishonest can be sent about their business, and the claim can be fairly developed. But there are other circumstances to be " " " j i " — ] notice. It has been well-known that it has been an utter impossibility to work the claims at the Thames during the past winter. It is utterly impossible'to do so now, and will be so for months to come. Impassable roads, want of machinery, want of " water, will continue to be great drawbacks. Now, why have regulations in force compelling merely make-believe work in a claim to protect it from being jumped, where the above inseparable difficulties exist ? Why not take a wide view of the subject and grant protection to claims in a liberal manner, and alco to allow others for a time to be undermanned, while certain difficul- —" Thames until they have a more secure title for the land which they must purchase at a heavy price, and for the costly machinery they mußt erect upon it. | : ■ The Tapu Mint.—This claim is turning out some excellent stuff.

So I'm off." REMARKABLE TbIAL FOE POISONING.—The Berlin Correspondent of the Daily News says: In a causes celebres just tried at Poscn, the prisoner's crimes almost eclipse those of the notorious Palmer. A master book-binder, named Wittmann, was accused of having poisoned six persons in six yoars, namely, his four wives and two children. Wittmann had worked as journeyman for a book-binder named Pirsch, of Wollin, where he mado the acquaintance of Mario Gehm, Pirsch's housekeeper. Wittmann was on a visit at Wollin at the end of 1858 and beginning of 1859, on January 1 of which year Pirsch died very suddenly, and Marie Gehm, according to a previous arrangement, came into possession of all his property. Soon after this Wittmann commenced business in Wollin, and in Fobruary,J 1860, married Marie Gehm, who, in addition to Firsch's property had also inherited some money through the sudden death of an aunt. Two sons, John and Paul, were the result of this marriage. Mrs. Wittmann died very suddonly in 1862, leaving all her property to her husband and two children, of whom the eldest died in tho same mysterious manner three monthi later. In June, 1862, Wittmann married his second wife Charlotte Hohn, who possesed some fortune. The latter mado her will in the following December, leaving everything to her husband, and died a week afterwards. _ In April, 1864, Wittmann married his third wife, Augusta Eornotzky, who was richer than her predecessor. Her fate may be described in almost the same words. Sho died in August, 1865, leaving her property between her husband and mother. Only two months after her death Wittmann married his fourth, and by far the richest wife, the widow Bose, who had one child by her first husband. This child sickened immediately after its mother's wedding, and died in a day or two, by which tho fourth Mrs. Wittmann inherited its property. Wittmann then removed from Wollin to Posen. It is hardly necessary to add that tho fourth Mrs. Wittmann's life was not of very long duration, as she died in September 1866, having made a will in favor of her husband a month or two before. Under the pretext that sho had died of cholera Wittmann had made arrangements for burying her tho day after her death. But the extraordinary mortality in the Wittmann family had attention. The police already created here took the matter up, and their first strengthened when suspicions were they found thatWittmanhad called in no medical treatment Wittman was arrested just as the funeral procession was about to start, and the burial of tho body was prohibited. On searching the house, a large lump of arsenic, sufficient to poison a hundred persons, was found locked up in a chest. All the bodies of Wittman's former wives, as also those of his_ two children, were then exhumed, and submitted to a chemical investigation. The result was tho same in all six cases; a large quantity of arsenic was detected, and there could not bo • tho shadow of a doubt that Wittman h a(i poisoned his four wives and two children. Ho has been found guilty and sentenced to death. If we consider that the raotivo for these crimes was no higher passion than avarice, and then remember tho relation in which he stood to his victims, and tho deliberate perfidy with which he entered upon those relations, I doubt if the whole record of crime can show a blacker case. Indeed it is not improbable that he committed eight murders, as the very sudden death of Pirsch during Wittmann's visit, and also of his first wife's aunt, are extremely suspicious coincidences under tho circumstances."

The presumed object of stringent regulations about protection, is to compel the ground being worked, thisvery stringency defeats their own object, for a merely nominal and utterly worthless amount of labor will satisfy the law, but then that labor is draining awaythe capital that isrequired forobtaining machinery and skilled labor. Most serious losses will of necessity be caused by the present system. It takes a long time to construct machinery even when the capital is obtained, but it takes still longer when tbe capital baa to be found, and more especially when that which would have been available has been spent in utterly useless work. The evil is beginning to cure itseli to a small extent. Speculators are a great deal more cautious, and the work of obtaining goldfrom'.tbe quartz will notbefacilitated by constant buying and selling shares, but by planting machinery oji the ground, by forming companies to work claims', and proceeding in a scientific and business-like manner.

The practical effect of the system so far has been, that holders of shares have sold a portion of their interest to persons in Auckland, that the latter have continuously paid wages for the working of the claim, that in very many instances little or no work has been done beyond the mere protection of tho claim, and so a* very large amount of mouey has been just as much wasted as if it had been paid to the men to walk about the streets of Auckland. .Now this state of things cannot continue. Speculators are already wakening to the stern realities of tho case. The Thames gold-field is not what is popularly known as "a poor man's diggings." It is not a diggings where unskilled labor can do just as well as skilled labor. It requires, and can only be worked by, tho combination of skill and capital. This being the case there is uo other mode of raising the necessary capital to employ the skill and obtain machinery except by forming companies for that purpose. The longer this process is delayed the greater will bo the loss of capital and labor, a loss to both tho men who own a part of and work the claim, and to those who purchase into it. Six or eight men own a claim, they sell say half a share each for a certain sum and a stipulated amount paid weekly. There arc probably two classes of men in the lot, one consisting of those who are anxious to work and develope their claim, the other, THE OHINEMURI. We yesterday published the announcement of the determination of the Upper Thames natives to open the whole of the land between the present southern boundary of the goldfield and the mountain ridgcj this side of the Te Aroha mountain, and the terms on. which the natives are willing to open it. It would seem that our Thames cotemporary has also been placed in possession of the same reliable information as imparted to this journal, as will be seen by the subjoined extract from its issue of yesterday.

MAJOEITY OF SEVEN FOE THE LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS. GOVEENMENT. Br the arrival of the Eangatira (s.s.) in the Manukau early this morning we have Wanganui papers to the 22nd instant. The Panama mail had not been telegraphed to Wanganni up to that date. Wo take the following from the Wanganui Times of the 22nd:— EESULT OF THE DEBATE OH ME, FOX'S MOTION. On Friday night the debate on Mr. Fox's "want of confidence" motion closed, the House divided, and Ministers had a majority of seven. Provinces and individual members have been bought over, but the bribery and corruption of the present Ministry have now become flagrant that Mr. McLean's motion on the na-so tive policy of the Government, which comes on to-night will further prepare the country for the action which the colony should take at the approaching general election. It is well for the colony that this is the last session of the present parliament. Mr. Stafford will not dare to face the electors of Nelson, and but Very few of his subservient coadjutors need attempt to face their constituents. We anxiously await the division list of Friday night which may possibly reach us early this morning. DIVISION LIST. The following is the divisionlist on Mr. Pox's Want of Confidence Motion.

[BS StTBMAIONE TELEGBA2H.] (From the SohitiJca Star's Special Correspondent) Wellington, Friday, Sept. 18,3-40 p.m. Last night another motion of want of confidence was brought forward by Mr. M'Lean, relating to the management of native affairs. The discussion was kept up nntil the hour for going on with the orders of the day, when Mr. Travers moved that the orderi be postponed until Mr, M'JJean's motion was disposed of. The Government opposed the motion, and a division took place whioh resulted as follows:—In favor of Government, 38; againßt, 31. The debate on Pox's resolution was thencontinued. Harrison spoke for an hour. He expressed his dissent from the proposal to discontinue to the province their share of the consolidated revenue, and said it was not a popularjbnt only a fashionable proposition with more of romance than praotical reality about it. If it would reduce the taxation, it would be a different thing; but neither the Government or the Opposition had shown that any suchreduction would follow. Abit stood it was a mere sham, because the capitation Bchemeß of each party weie only another form of sharing in the consolidated revenue; and each scheme was grossly unjußt to particular portions of the colony, and especially to those which, like Westland, had all the work to do whioh the older provinces had to do twenty yoari ago ; and yet it was to be deprived of the whole of its revenue from taxation. He blamed the Tiraasurer for having negleoted to iuclude Westland in his financial scheme of adjustment, although proportionately it would be the largest sufferer and but for Mr. Hall's interest in the affairs of the County, he would have characterised his negligence by a much stronger term. He proceeded critically to review the financial proposals of both parties. Under the Government scneme Westland would lose £10,000 of surplus revenue, and only receive £5,396 capitation to pay police and gaols, which cost £11,500. On the other hand, Mr. Fox proposed to give a capitation of thirty shillings, but left loanß to be locally charged, and harbours, and police, and g*ols to be maintained by provinces. Mr. Fox's proposal for Westland would as stand follows: Capitation allowance £23,127; to pay charge on loans of Canterbury, £22,000 ; police and gaols, £11,600; and harbour, £3000; thus leaving a deficienoy to be paid out of the Land Fund of £18,373 per annum. He told the House that under either schemeunless a considerable compensation was made to Westland they might as well sponge it from the map of Hew Zealand—so far The Government sb any progress was concerned. did propose to leave the question of adjustment open, but the Opposition proposed no adjustment whatever and had throughout the session opposed every obS stacla in way of a motion to have the Canterbury Debt question referred to a Select Committee for readjustment. Mr. Harrisoncalled theattention of the Houao to the faot that Westland was a district of 7000 square miles, and had contributed nearly a million to colonial revenue in four years, and had exported four millions worth of gold. He asked—what would have been the position of the Colony but for the gold-fields of Westland ? It could not have paid its liabilities. It was a mistake to suppose thatits gold-fields were exhausted. If the County only had means to open up the country, Westland was capable of wonderful development, and of contributing largely to the fortunes of the Colony, for many years to come. Whilst protesting against both financial schemes he felt hound to vote against Mr. Fox becausehis proposals were tenfold worse than those of the Government, and becauße he had neither faith or confidence in his ; — party. Mr. Harrison was loudly cheeredat the conclusion of his speech. I think that when the question of adjustment comes on we shall be able to get a substantial compensation for Westland. It is understood that Mr. Bariff will speak to- THE FRONT. night. The division is not likely to oome off until toYesterday considerable excitement prevailed of exciting morrow. throughout the town in consequence rumours from tho Front. Reliable intelligence Mr. Hall brings in a bill to free newspaper exmay come to handbefore we go to press, but all changes. September 17. that we can recommend our readers toplace re- liance upon as yet is what follows:—Colonel Haultain despatched a trooper who arrived here on Sunday night with despatches for the Government which were forwarded by the s.s. Wanganui at one o'clock yesterday. He has ordered two Armstrong guns from Wellington, which, we suppose, are intended for the protection of Patea and not for field service. We can also state as a fact that our friend and friendly Tauroa, who has so long, and in a friendly way continued to make free with the settlers' property, appropriating it as his own, has done us the favor of going over with the Pakakohi to Tito Eowaru, and that tho settlers at thisside of the Patea River have been politely ordered to clear off bag and baggage" by to-morrow— Wednesday—under certain pains and penalties. It is useless to speculate we anxiously await further authentic intelligence. " ; The Wanqanui Chronicle of September 22nd We have no information from the says Front since our last publication. Abundance of rumors of all kinds get into circulation, but they should be received with caution. It is said that Colonel Haultain has offered to give up a large portion of tho confiscated territory to the rebels if they will allow us to hold the remainder in peace. We decline to believe that any proposition so monstrous could have been made. It is possible we may require to concentrate our force for a time at Patea, but that is a very different thing from acknowledging our inability to hold the country ultimately. In fact, wc must fight for this land whether we like it or no. The savages will compel us. Kelinquish one portion, and they 'will claim another, and yet another, until they claim and fight for all. The Patea will go first, the Waitotara nest, and. Wanganui in the long run. No we are in for it, and wo must fight, however long and harrassing tho fight may be. But it was surely never known that a number of Anglo-Saxon settlers could not hold their own against a horde of savages! Kemp.—Tho mantle of Hon Kingi falls upon the shoulders of his nephew Kemp, who, although a young man, has been through more campaigns upon tho East and West Coasts, and been more frequently engaged in assisting our troops with his men than any other chief we know of. He is now at the front, and if we mistake not, the very day that Hori Kingi died, Kemp and his men wore on the eve of a battle. They determined to fight one more battle with All Col. McDonnell against Tito Kowaru. Kemp's battles have been under McDonnell's although he to leave refused command, and him, provoked to do so, until this, their last battle under the present administration, is fought together.—Ibid Native Ihtelugenoe.—Lt.-Col.McDonnell proceeded yesterday morning to attack Titokowaru in the new position he had fortified near Turo Taro Mokai. Tho enemy evacuated their entrenched position at the approach of our force, and retreated into the bush. Every available dray is said to have been sent from Patea to Waihi for the purpose of removing stores, &c. The latter place is to be given up, and the only posts to be retained are Patea and Manawapou. Evening Herald, Sept. 22.

THE MINISTERIAL POLICY.—DISAFFEC* HON AT NELSON. Nblbok', Tuesday, Sept. 15, 7.10 p.m. A densely orowded meeting wbb held last night in the Provincial Hall; Mr. Edwards, Chairman. Resolutions were carried unanimously as follows: —Ist. That the Ministerial financial measures are unsound,and calculated to act unjustly to the colony, 2nd. That thescheme for imposing annual charges for Provincial debts on all Provinces indiscriminately, is flagrantly unjust to Nelson —which by past frugality is entitled to exemption from greater burdens thus laid on the inhabitants. 3rd. Considering the manner in which Mr. Stafford hag sacrificed Kelson interests, this meeting is of opinion that the connection between him and the electors should cease, and that he be requested to resign his seat as representative in the General Assembly. 4th.

The titno was about 7 p.m. There was another cart at a distance coming at a gallop on e road. Plaintiff called out and |juiied up, but no notice was taken by tho driver. Immediately upon plaintiff pulling up, a collision took place. Plaintiff's vohiele was a ono horse express. The other vehiale was Mr. Dornwell's ono horse cart. Pluintifl was thrown out and when he got up the horse was out of its harness. Tho homes, back band, breeching, and reins were broken. The damago to the harness was to the amount of 30s. Plaintiff received several bruises and was trampled on by his own horse. One rib was fractured, and there was a severe contusion of the chest. The damage to tho express was to tho amount of £2. Plaintiff paid that sum for repairs. Plaintiff was absent from work for '2£ days, and valued his time at £1 per day. Tho hcrse'ti legs woro much cut, and ho was damaged to the amount of£2. Dornwell's driver and two other men wero in the cart.—Cross-examined by Mr. Hesketh: I offerod to take 30s from Mr. Dornwell, "out did not then know the extent of tho damage.—Defendant deposed that he had seen the plaintiff's horse, and it "was only slightly scratched. Plaintiff had refuted to let him see the cart that morning, fie had previously seen the cart, and should estimate the damage ot about His boy drovo to the harness at 10s. ss, and that He had paid 30s into Court and costp, the sum plaintiff had first, asked.—The Court enquired of plaintiff as to whether he carried lights after dark, and received a reply in tho negative.—His Worship the cart. said that it was a greut wonder there wero not more accidents since thore was no law to compel vehicles to carry lamps at night. It was not the first accident that had occurred of late, and he hoped that the City Board would turn its attention to the matter. As to the present case there was nothing to throw discredit upon plaintiff's evidence, and there had apparently been very culpable carelessness on tho part of defendant's servant, and be should therefore give judgment for plaintiff £10.

An affidavit was put into Court from defendant, stating that he was unaware that the case ■was cominihg on for hearing on the 17th instant, and ■wasjconsequently absent. —Mr. Beveridge submitted that defendant should have communicated at an earlier date as to his ignorance of the time of trial. He also put in an affidavit, and it appeared there had been altogether some misapprehension. Mr. Beveridge said that his client objected to a now examination since there had been great delay on the paTt of defendant in bringing the matter to an issue. After some discussion on both sides the Court considered that it was evident defendant had relied on an uncertainty, but the affidavit of the other side did not contradict that cf the defendant, and under the circum•tances a new hearing might be granted.

There haß boen within the Inst few months a considerable exchange ot i-vnd from the hands of the military settlers to those of men of capital, consequently a greater quantity of land has been reclaimed, and is now under crop, than would havo been the case had theland remained in the possoseiou of tho former proprietors. Nevertheless, I must say that some of jo remaining Third Waikato Begimont who havo St- tied on their farms, are doing well for themsolve and tho district. On W. .nesday last tho Resident Magistrate held a sittinp uore. The only case for trial was that of Robinson, a licenced publican, for Belling two glasses of brandy on Sunday to one of the Armod Constabulary. The case arose out of a tight between two of the troopers of tho above-named force, having been obliged to resort to fisticuffs to Bottlo a slight disputo which had arisen between them whilo in a stato of inebriety. Ono of the culprits, on his examination before his commanding officer, confeasod to having obtained tho casus belli from Mr. Robinson. Thereupon the aforesaid officer, who is a Justice of the Peace, felt it incumbent upon him to issue a summons to the publican who was guilty of supplying tho stimulant. After hearing the ovidence, which was of a very extraordinary nature, the Magistrate wbb about to inflict a penalty of five pounds and costs, when the aforesaid officer stated that, as it was the first time any publican in Cambridge had been brought before the Bench on such a chargo, ho hoped the smallest fine possible would be inflicted. In accordance with this suggestion a fine of £1 ss. waß decreed with costs.
