We have kept the "Extra" open to the last moment that our limited appliances will permit, with the view of at once publishing, on the arrival of the "Wonga Wonga," the final state of the poll. Strange to say, however, the steamer has not made her appearance. Announced to sajl on Monday, the 1 6th, several passengers held themselves in readiness for her arrival. Meanwhile the "Sea Serpent" brought intelligence that, a more lucrative freight offering, the Wonga had sailed for Aorere, but would leave for this port on the Monday following, at 11 o'clock. Now, this delay, of itself, was a fruitful source of disappointment ; but when, from her non-appearance (on Thursday, at noon) it may be presumed that some further detention has taken place, the feeling of disappointment is rapidly becoming one of indignation.
