The Nelson Evening Mail. TUESDAY, APEIL 13, 1869. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE IN WELLINGTON.

Wellington, Tuesday. A The Galatea arrived ou Sunday at 11.30. There was great excitement, and many people left the churches. The Governor went on board in the afternoon. The official landing took place at halfpast eleven yesterday. Everything went off very well. When the Prince arrived at Government House, the school children, 1,300 in number, sung the National Anthem, the effect of which was very fine. We expected to have received fuller particulars from Wellington, but the line is working so badly that we can get no further information, and must therefore wait until to-morrow before we can furnish our readers with an account of the proceedings in Wellington. The following telegram relating to the Native disturbances, appeared in the Colonist this morning: — Christchurch, Monday, 7.53 p.m. "* The attacking party at Mohaka, is known to ba Te Kooti with a force of from 300 to 500 natives. The pa was defended till Sunday morning, when the garrison became completely exhausted. Te Kooti then obtained entrance by making a promise of safety to the garrison, but when he got inside he commenced to kill. There were forty defenders of the pa, out of which number only thirteen escaped. Te Kooti by this victory obtained seventeen casks of ammunition and many rifles. After the capture of the pa, Te Kooti exclaimed, " Now for Wairoa ! " The Constabulary are pushing on, and one hundred natives start to-morrow. Napier and its suburbs are quite denuded of their male population.
