Death by Drowning
It is our melancholy duty to record the death by drowning of Mr William STEWART, who built, and who has since managed, the Wahaperata Mill on account of the native proprietors. He was last seen alive on Wednesday evening, by Mr MOON, and on Thursday his body was found in the Ngaruroro, where the unfortunate man had gone to bathe, and to which his footsteps were traced. An inquest upon the body was held on Friday, at Clive, when the jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of "Found Drowned". The deceased was a native of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and was much respected by both races.

Another inquest It has latterly been our task to record many deaths under very painful circumstances. We have now another addition to the list. Some numbers since we mentioned the disappearance of Mr G. IMRIE, formerly owner od a sheep staion, but who had latterly sold it. The body of the unfortunate man was found on Sunday morning by a native named Utiku, whose attention was attracted three days before by a disagreeable smell. It was discovered in a small creek about 800 yards from Mr I. McKAIN's. The creek contained three feet water, was covered with raupo and toi-toi and considered highly dangerous. Deceased was last seen alive by Mr ELWYN at 9 pm on the 3rd Jan. He was then suffering from the effects of drink. He said he wanted to go to Mr F. McKAIN's, and Mr ELWYN put him on the track. He was not seen again alive, and had, no doubt, fallen into the creek on his way and perished. An inquest on the body was held yeaterday, at Petane, before T. HITCHINGS, Esq., coroner, and a jury.

Accident and Narrow Escape
On Saturday last, as some soldiers were engaged in cleaning the well in Coote-road, which is about 110 feet in depth, one of their number, named Martin WALKER, volunteered to go down for the purpose of more effectually finishing the work. He accordingly commenced the descent, but three turns were not off the windlass before the rope broke and the unfortunate man was precipitated to the bottom. A new rope was precured as quickly as possible, and James LINGARD undertook to bring up the body-for it was scarcely expected that the poor fellow would be alive. On being brought to the surface he was found to be dreadfully cut and bruised, but, strange to say, with whole bones. He was immediately conveyed to the military hospital, where he now lies in a very precarious state; but with every prospect of being all right again in a few days.

Resident Magistrate's Court Tuseday April 29

(Before John CURLING, Esq., R.M., Wm. MALTBY, Esq., J.P., and H.S. TIFFEN, Esq., J.P.)

FRANCE v BRAITHWAITE
The plaintiff supplied Thomas SHEPHERD with goods to the amount of £14 15s 10d, for which he received an order on defendent, payable out of moneys accuring to SHEPHERD under a contract with the Bank for erecting a fence.Plaintiff took the order to defendent, who said that he could not then pay it as SHEPHERD had done no work, but that he would pay it out of the moneys coming to him. On the completion of the work defendent refused to pay, on the grounds that he had no funds. The order was originally left with him and he kept it several months.
Mr BRAITHWAITE, for the defence, denied having promised to pay the order; he told FRANCE that he must take his chance with the other creditors of SHEPHERD who had left their orders with him. The Court, after consideration, gave judgment for defendent, with costs 15s.; but at the same time expressed an opinion that the conduct of defendent had not been quite satisfactory in the matter, and that, had he been a little more explicit, this and similar cases would not have been brought before the Bench.

KENNEDY v DAY The defendant, a private in the 14th Regt., was charged with having, in company with another soldier, assulted plaintiff on the night of Wednesday the 22nd April, on Shakespeare road.
Defendant, whose conduct when under the influence of liquor is that of a madman, was fined £2, or, in default of payment, 14 days imprisonemt. He was subsequently committed.

Wednesday April 30
TUKE v McLEAN In this case the Court, which had taken its time to consider the decision, gave judgment for the plaintiff--£20, or the cattle to be delivered to plaintiff, with costs £2 13s.

McHARDY v GRAY This was a re-hearing of a case formally decided for plantiff in default of defendant, who, it appeared, was prevented by floods from having being present. The case involved a lengthened statement pro and con of past transactions, resulting in the affirmation of former judgment (for plaintiff) with 9 s additional costs.

Friday May 2
(Before John CURLING, Esq., R.M.)

ROSE v McNALTY Plaintiff charged defendant with having assulted him on the 1st inst. in the Star Hotel. Fined 5s and 17s costs.

Local News.

The Civil Commissioner returned yesterday from a tour in the southern portion of the Province. Whether his visit has been a "satisfactory" one, or otherwise, we have not ascertained, but we suspect that the native chiefs to the southward are still lukewarm on the subject of the news institutions. We have heard incidentally, that the late arrangement with respect to the Porerere dispute- made, it will be remembered, between Mr.McLEAN, on one hand, and MORENA and Te HAPUKA on the other, has been repudiated, or at least strongly objected to, by other natives professing to be interested. We learn that Colonel RUSSELL will remain in town till his duties as member of the upper branch of the legislature call him to Wellington.

The Legislative Council- We understand that Henry RUSSELL, Esq., of Waipukurau has now been called to the Legislative Council.

ACCIDENT.- On Wednesday evening a young cow, one of a mob of cattle that were being shipped on board the Victoria by Mr HARDING, broke away from the others at the Spit, and ran up the Shakespeare road towards the town, pursued by Mr HARDING and his son. The furious animal turned in at Coote road, and there knocked down Mr CROSSLEY, breaking his collar bone and otherwise injuring him severely. It then took to the island on the right, and Mr HARDING, thinking it would remain there, returned. It appears, however, that the brute proceeded at a furious pace and rushed down Brewster street into Shakespeare Road. Just opposite Mr DOHERTY's place it ran at Mr HILL, the saddler, and knocked him down- without, however, inflicting serious injury. Fortunately,the animal itself fell and was instantly secured by the bystanders. It was then taken to Mr DANVER's yard, and, next day, was sold to Mr ROSS-not we hope, with the intention of letting it run at large, otherwise we may have to ! record some more serious casualty

New Test for Preachers- The Rev. Mr HART, of St.David's Dundee, in preaching on the Apostle Paul on Sabbath night, gave us the follwing test for young preachers:- When a Presbytery licenses a young man, they should say to him, " Now, we will license you to be a preacher, give you an empty church to preach in, and perhaps your mother will be astonished to see Rev before your name. If you fill that church you will be a preacher of the Gospel- If not, we will apprentice you to a barber."
August 1862

Lively debate on Native Policy under discussion. On the resolutions of Mr RICHARDSON, on 25th, Mr FOX moved the following:-

That while this house disclaims, on the part of the Colony, the exclusive responsibility of the cost of educating, civilizing, and governing the Native race; while it equally disclaims liability for the principal share of suppressing insurrections of people over whom the Imperial Government have never practically established authority; it will at all times cheerfully recognize its duty to cooperate to the extent of its ability and means with Great Britain for the attainment of these objects, so essential to the welfare of the Colony; and in conformity with these views it is of opinion that the interests of the Imperial Government and of the Natives themselves, as well as of the Colony, require that (reserving to the Governor both the initiation and the decision of questions where Imperial interests are concerned,) the ordinary conduct of Native Affairs should be placed under the administration of Responsible Ministers.

The debate was adjourned till Monday the 29th- continuing throughout that day and resulting in a later hour in the defeat of Ministers upon the following division:-

The Waipureku Punt- is now on its last legs- the wear and tear of some four or five years having seriously undermined its constitution. About ten days ago it filled and sank-causing, however, but a few hours stoppage to traffic, owing to the exertions of the ferryman.

Immigration- The Provincial Government has received advice of assisted passages to the province amounting to 460 pounds., having been secured in the ship Constatine, now expected shortly at Wellington. This sum represents, we believe, 23 statute adults; as immigration consists of all ages we believe the actual number will be 30 to 40.

Waikato- A large party of natives, including KARAITIANA,TAREHA,KARAURIA, and other chiefs, have for some days been making preparations for a visit to the Waikato. The object of this visit is not clearly known, beyond that it is of a political character.

Wairoa- We are happy to learn from a correspondent that one of the finest black cow whales has been taken off the Wairoa and towed into Mahia by Mr BARTLETT's party.

Fire Engine- Some time ago we recorded the arrival of a fire engine, which was the property of Liverpool and London Insurance Co.

Netane
Te HUIKI, the native tride for the murder of his wife and acquitted, was forwarded to Otago by last trip of the Queen- subscriptions in aid having
been collected throughout the town. The more immediate object of sending him away is the fear, well grounded we believe, that the connections of his late wife would not hesitate to kill him if they had the opportunity; while, by forwarding him to so thriving a place as Dunedin, it is supposed that he will find it easy to support himself by the labour of his hands. A report of the trial, printed in the Maori language by order of the Civil Commissioner, was forwarded yesterday mails to the Wairoa and other inland districts- a copy having been addressed to every native of note.

Scab- Mr TIFFEN Ispector of Sheep, arrived from the Wairoa district and find that this virulent disease is spreading- two more flocks condemned. One of Mr G WALKER. Other of Mr FANNIN, which numbers about 1000.

Pokawa- From a latter, dated Pokawa, Oct, 16, "The natives held a runanga at HAPUKA's pa, on a old man of 60 years, who it had seemed had illicit intercourse with a young girl, and sentenced him to be hung. The old fellow, after committing the offence, took off into the bush, and cannot be found. They have been searching for him for 2 days, armed with tomahawks, knives &c., and it is the belief of everyone that if he is caught they will carry out the decision of the runanga into effect."-

Pokawa- update- The old man WERA, to whose case referred to as above, has not been seen, and it is believed that he may have committed suicide, if however he is found alive, the case will be brought before the Court of the Resident Magistrate.

Startling news from Howick
CHILDREN TOMAHAWKED
Three settlers have arrived in Auckland reporting that two children of Mr.TRUST, on KENNEDY's farm, have been tomahawked by the Maories, and one
short through the breast. One hundred natives were at farm.Major PEACOCKE had just started with a force for the scene of the murders. The men who bring the information were fired on by the Maories, between church and Kennedy's farm, and one of them COURTENAY, was shot through the leg.

Drury Intelligence have reached Drury from Mauku that at least twelve Maoris were shot in the engagement yesterday between the first Waikato regiment
and ther rebels at Mauku.One officer and three men are still missing. Major RYAN had reached Mauku with 100 of the 70th, and 100 of the 18th. A portion of the defence force was also there under Col.NIXON.
Nov 1862

KARAITIANA and the other natives who, some two or three months ago, departed on a visit to the Waikato district, returned to Napier on Wednesday last.
They were accompanied home by about 20 strangers- descendants, we understand, of Ahuriri natives whwo, in times past, were taken into slavery by their Waikato conquerors. Of the political results of this visit, nothing of course has transpired.

The Provincial Council- We learn that it is the intention of His Honor the Superintendent to apply by next steamer to Auckland for a dissolution of the Provincial Council. New writs will be issued as soon after as convenient.

Eathquake- A smart shock was experienced in Napier at 25 minutes to 1 yesterday. During a few seconds that it lasted the vibration was considerable. Another severe shock was experienced about 8 last evening.

The Weather- the drought continues, with hot and scorching sun. We remember no previous occasion upon which rain was so much wanted and so anxiously looked for.

The Provincial Engineer returned on Wednesday from a (for him) prolonged visit to the Porangahau and other inland districts. He is now fully engaged in preparing specifications for road and other public works.

The Inspector of Schools- Mr COLENSO, started for Wairoa on the morning of Tuesday last, on an official visit to the schools of that district. He weill, we understand, inspect the Petane school on his return.

Rescue of a Prisoner by Natives- Stephen McGREEVY, police constable at Clive, laid an information yesterday against TAMAONA,MANAHIA,KINITA,PARAONE, and other natives: A native named MITA was given in charge by Edward BODDINGTON for having stolen a pair of trousers from his shop. The door holding the prisoner was force open by 15-20 natives who overpowered the policeman and liberated the prisoner.

Post note on late case of Rescue- in European minds not a very satisfactory one. However, the natives have so far met with the Commissioner as to promise that the prisoner shall be brought in as soon as McGREEVY, the policeman, shall return, he now being at Waipukurau.
