Temaru and has been engaged for more than two years in quelling various native risings amongst the Kanakas in New Caledonia. Amongst their number are three wounded brethren, and they have left one man in New Coledonia, the victim of Kanaka treachery. Only two Frenchmen, one of whom is accompanied 'by his wife and child, are in the party, the remainder are native Tahitians. Accommodation has, been found for the men in Auckland until the departure of the Talune, by which they return home.
