Waiboa.—The late expedition of the Wairoa natives, assisted by the flower of the Mohaka people, against Te Waru, returned without effecting their object; but fortunately they came across a party of Hauhaue and killed seven of them. One taken prisoner gave the information that Te Kooti had gone to attack Mohaka. Being thus providentially warned, a body of Europeans hurried, with the natives on towards Mohaka, and succeeded in throwing a reinforcement into the pa, thus saving it from capture, they were, however y not strong enough to defeat or capture the rebels.—" Hawke's Bay Times," April 15.

Rich- Claims. --- The--•♦ Thames Advertiser of the 16th says—Some time ago we called attention t© the extraordinary rich speoimens that were obtained from Barry's lead in the Kuranui Company's claim. The stuff was crushed this week, at the battery of the company with the following result—3so lbs of No. 1 stone gave 932 ozs 16 dwts of retorted gold; 11 cwt of No 2 stuff, together with 3£ tons of No. 3, gave 783 ozs 11 dwts, the total amounting to the magnificent return of 1,716, ozs.7 dwts of retorted gold, which was deposited, last evening at the Grahams* town: branch Bank of New Zealand. The No. 1 stuff yielded an average of a fraction, over 2 ozs 13 dwts 6 gra to the pound. The total value of the yield amounts to £4,290 17s 6id_., at the rate of £2 10a per oz. A late number of the ; " Times" says a full share in the celebrated Wild Missouri claim, Fiery Creek, Tararu, has changed hands for the sum of £3000.
