PORT NICHOLSON.
We have received the Spectator to the 26th of April, and the Independent to the 23d. Considerable alarm and excitement prevailed in Wellington on the evening of Sunday, the 20th of April, caused by a report that the Maories in the Hutt were about to pull down the stockade which had just been erected there, and destroy the bridge. The brig Bee, with fifty soldiers of the 58th Regiment, which had just arrived from Sydney, landed this force in the night at Petoni, and by three o'clock on Monday morning they had taken possession of the stockade, which they found guarded by the settlers. Here the troops will at present remain. We are unable from want of room to further notice the contents of the papers until next week.
TO CORRESPONDENTS. The letter of Mr. Saunders came too late for this number. It shall appear in our next.
