AUCKLAND TELEGRAMS.

(Prepared for transmission to Southern Ports.) September 15. The Superintendent and Mr. Charles O'Neill, Chief Engineer, went down to the Thames last night to inspect departments, tramways, hospitals, &c. Mr. Creighton is a candidate , for reelection to represent Newton in the Provincial Council. Considerable public dissatisfaction is expressed at the verdict of the jury in the ease of Dorrington, charged with a breach of the Arms Act. The jury are suspected of false religious sympathy with 'the accused, who is said to be a model of piety. Nos. 1 and 2 Companies of Militia were to muster yesterday. Only 27 attended, and the attempt to call out the Auckland Militia is likely to be a failure. The "paper hunt" at Ellerslie, yesterday, was a great success. Ropata Kaihau, a friendly chief, has visited Tokangamutu, and conversed with a white man named Jack, who shot Mr. Whiteley. He says two other white men, who were concerned in the murder, have been allowed by Te Waitere to come on to Auckland. Kopata says " Jack was dressed like a native, with a mat round his waist, and one over his shoulders, and he had two cartouche boxes, and a double-barrelled gun in his hands." In a cricket match, yesterday, between eleven of Auckland and eleven of H.M.S. Virago, the former won easily by 24 runs. September 16. Only 21 militiamen mustered yesterday for enrolment. In digging a hole for a post in Kolleston street, Shortland, two men came upon the top of a rich leader. The ground has been rushed. September 17. It is said that Major Stoney will come forward as a candidate to represent Wade in the Council. The Alexandra correspondent of the Cross says that the alleged Fenian O'Connor has had an interview with Tawhiao. A telegram in to-day's Herald says the natives are mustering in large numbers near Kihikihi. The report is believed to be unfounded. Twenty men presented themselves for enrolment in the Militia yesterday. September 18. Mr. Carleton's letter appears in to-day's Cross, and that journal very ably exposes Mr. Carleton's inconsistency, and his returning affection for Provincialism, now that the prosperity of the Province of Auckland affords some hopes of his sliding himself into some Provincial office. The Superintendent was to start for Coromandel yesterday from Shortland. Mr. Williamson's supporters met yesterday, and took measures to secure his return. O'Connor, the alleged Fenian, has returned to Shortland. The s.s. Auckland arrived yesterday from Sydney, with 34 passengers.
