LATER INTELLIGENCE.
Yesterday Mr. Chetham arrived in town from the Wiukato, bearing iv despatch for the Government. The spoliation of Mr. Gorst's establishment was more complete than we stated yesterday. The money was carried off (the amount we don't know); so was the mail bag, postage stamps, and other property, besides the types and printing press. It is likewise rumoured in town, and we believe not without foundation, that Mr. Gorst and his people have been peremptorily ordered out of the district, by way of reprisal for the proceedings of the colonial authorities at Taranaki. The natives are divided among themselves; and ■we fear the King has little real power for good over his nominal subjects.—Southern Cross, March 28.
