NGARUAWHAIA. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) October 12.

TjtEitE is great excitement up heie. 'What with the conflicting reports about the mine,*, tho icsignation of the Ministry, and the removal of the troops, we have plenty to busy oiu mintii with. Everybody is conjecturing something as to the causu of thcio hasty movements, but with eveiybody the one absorbing topic is tho piesent doing 1? of tho Government. It seems as if everybody vi as boiling over with indignation and disgust at tho way in which tho (jnieiuor is treating the colony at the present Ijmo. The great wonder here is that the people of Auckland are Keeping 10 quiet over it. Sinrly they must have lost thnt energy and determination which they have been hitherto noted for. Still e\ety mail we anxiously expect to hear of some decisive stepi being taken to ccptoss the indignation of tho colonists of New Zealand. In spite, however, of tho many obstacles that aie being placed in the way of the advancement of this couiitiy by our woithy Governor and his philo Maoii associates, Newcastle i-i r.api'ily incieasing in size and prospeiity. It now assumes quite tha shape of a town. JJiiililingß are going up in evciy direction, and a large hotel now building has quite an imposing appearance. Wo aie also beginning to bo blusfc with tho piesence of numeious of the fair hex. Three montln ago a European lady was a wonder up heic, but it is not so now. Tlioic aie still some wiseacies here who pi edict immediate mm in the country. They say in talking about the allotments, "Oh, where aie your title deeds'Geoigio says he will not give them." In looking down on the wharves we see steaineis loading ami dischaiging, ailiving and leaving all day long. In fact Newcastle now presents tho appe trance of a Jlomlshiiijj coiumeicial town, thanks to the eneigiob of our vepiesentatives in office. The ' K.uigiriu' ai lived hero this evening from Alexandra, with 460 troopn on boaid, to gatiison tho diffeient places vacated by the IStli. We have dull misoi able weather, with lain continually. It has been quite a disappointment to some of the officeis of the lSlh to lcnc the snug ictrcats, they had built for themsulves heio. The hoops aie still moving.
