NGARUAWAHIA. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) November 11.

The weather duting the last week has been colder than usual at tbi« time of year, and on Wednesday uight there was a sharp frost, which occasioned considerable damage to our crop of potatoes. In a few weeks the remainder of the military, now not numbering more than 45 of all ranks, will most probably leave us, to the regret of all; for both officers and men have acted in a friendly and neighbourly manner to the settlers. One of the first act* of Lieutenant-Colonel Butler, on his arriral about six months ago, was to cause tha graves of the military, most of whom fell in action, to be put in order, and the fencing around the enclosure to be restored. It is now rendered imperrions to pigs and fowls. Had it been much longer neglected the graves would have been entirely obliterated. This attention to the remains of those who died in the discharge of a duty felt by most military men to be both harassing and inglorious is alike creditable to himself and acceptable to surviving friends.
