Hawke's Bay Herald, Volume 13, Issue 1083, 14 September 1869, Page 2

Post Office. — We agree with several correspondents in thinkiug it strange that almost the first act of the first administration in which Hawke's Bay has had any voice, should have been the removal of the chief clerk of the Post Office, Napier, without, as we understand, any intention of supplying his place. The Bishop of Waiapu will hold Divine Service as follows, on Sunday next: — Havelock at 11a.m. (with administration of Lord's Supper), and Clive at 3 p.m. Napier Eifle Volunteers. — The monthly inspection of volunteers took place yesterday afternoon. The Band was in attendance, and there was a large congregation of onlookers. Very pleasant, no doubt, but not without its drawbacks, one of which was that the Herald office (consequent on five of the employes being in the corps) was shut up, and the work, on the eve of publication, driven two hours further into the night — a species of annoyance, however, to which we ought by this time to be accustomed, having been habitually subject to it. Parliamentary Papers.— We have to acknowledge receipt, per s.s. Wellington, of a large batch of parliamentary papers. WAIROA.-7A letter received yesterday is to the effect, that fires had been seen at Pukerangi, 25 miles inland, supposed to indicate the presence of Hauhaus in that locality. Telegraphic. — Our telegram last evening was a brief one ; it was as follows :— "Mr. M'Lean starts for Wanganui to-night. I The natives there are considerably excited ! consequent on Te Kooti having killed Wirihana's scouts." Immigration. — Twenty-four passengers were landed on Suncfay from the Wellington, chiefly arrivals by the Halcione. The wharf was a very busy s,cene during the greater part of the day.
