ARRIVAL OF THE KEERA. LATER FROM HAWKE'S BAY.

By the arrival of the s.s. 'Keera' last evening, we have files of the Hawke's Bay Herald to the 29bh. The Wairoa correspondent of that paper says :—": — " Barnett, the exA.O. man, described as missing between Tauranga and Mahia, has tamed up Batisfac torily at Clyde.— Whenua Nui, Paerau, and Rangikai te Pueke, have come in from Waikaremoana, accompanied by some seven or eight others. The latter is the individual theoretically tilled by the Pahauweras at Mohaka (at the same time that Kooti was shot ?), who now in propria persona re-appears in the character of a would-be friendly. With regard to these Hauhaus, and others preceding them (numbering in all probably 100 or 150), much uneasiness prevails here and at Napier, doubtless remembering the Tauranga and Mohaka catastrophes, and although under the present regime a recurrence of the like is rendered more unlikely, yet equal facilities exist, and there is a strange similarity of pre-occur-rences. Fearing to be termed alarmist, I will only select from a mass of proba le evidences, the following : -(1.) That none of the incoming natives have given up their arms. (2.) That moat of the Wairoa natives are doubtful. (3.) That there is a certainty of Te Warus presence at the Lake, and a probability of Te Kooti's. (4.) That Clyde is easily assailable from the Lake Waikaremoana via Te Ariki, Ruake Turi, and ' awhara Valley, coming out of the rear of the settlement." — The escaped prisoners have not yet been recaptured.—Baker has arrived at Whakaki, on his way to Napier, and will be there apprehended.
