The "St. Kilda" arrived at the Chatham Islands on the 27th April, with the second gang of Maori prisoners. They were warmly welcomed hy the resident natives, and a feast prepared for them. In reference to the mode in which the first lot of Hauhaus are being employed, a correspondent of the Hawlce*s Say Herald, writing from Waitangi May 1, says : — The Hau Haus, since their arrival, have been actively employed in building wliares for the ao commodation of the guard stationed here — while, at the same time, the European and Native gnard were erecting a redoubt which, though unfinished, has been occupied for the last ten days. On Wednesday, the 25th ult., the ceremony of erect ing a flagstaff took place, and on hoisting the union jack, a salute was fired, when three hearty cheers werejgiven for Her most Gracious Majesty. Among the spectators the most conspicuous were Capt. Thomas, R.M., and family, the Messrs. Hunt of Pitt's Island, Mr. Ritchie, Mr. and Mrs. Auckland, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, and family, and several influential gentlemen. Afcer this ceremony had taken place, they adjourned to have a game of cricket. The Wanganui Ghronide, of May 19, has the following : — x The schooner Wild Wave, from the Chat ham Islands after a. run of 15 days, brings intelligence to the effect that the wha'itig •barque Catherine, which we some time ago reported as being ashore there, was after very great difficulty got afloat again, but that two days after she was relaunched a heavy gale came on, when she dragged her anchors and went ashore at nearly the same place, when she beoame a total wreck ; no lives were lost. At the time the Wild Wave sailed, the Sea Serpent, hence, was lying at the Chatham Islands for the safe custody of the Maori prisoners sent from New Zealand. It appears that the Maoris originally living there express great dissatisfaction at the Hau Haus being settled there, and refuse to have any communication with them. There are only only one or two who are favourable to them. A great number of the loyal Maoris have signified their intention of leav ing the place on account of the rebel pri soners being sent there.
