The Waiicato Sicttlkhh.—We are glad to learn that the men of these regiments will no louger have to complain of being separated from their Wives imd families. A large number of women and children belonging to the men posted at the different stations Weri) taken on board the ' Pioneer' on the morning of the. sth inst. and brought up to the Coal Mines, where tliev were Iransferrcd on board the ' I!mi"iriri ' and forwarded to INgaruawahia. Several of the husbands met them" at the wharf at tlivt place. Some of the families were to proceed on the following day to their several destinations.—those for Cambridge on the Horotiu by the I'angiriri, and l.hose for Alexandria and other stations on the Waipa by (lie ' Gundagai/—".New Zealand Herald;" Oefol ic r 10:

Gor.o at Ti(is Waikato.—-A report was in circulation yesterday in the city that two men had arrived front the Waikato district, bringiug with them 15 lbs. weight of gold, the resuTt of their labour for seven' days. We cannot vouch for the truth of the news, aiid can only hope if may prove to be true.—October 10. Fatal Accident. —We regret to state that an able-bodied seaman attached to the ' Miranda' named Clarice, fell oil Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock, from the inaiuf(ipsnil yard, where lie was engaged in fiirling sails, preparatory to that vessel going to se>i. The unfortunate iiian fell with great force upon the main deck, a (id died instantaneously, having fractured Jits skull and otherwise seriously injured himself. The Coroner was shortly afterwards on board, for the purpose of holding an infjuest, but the captain informed him that he did not consider an enquiry necessary: and that he would take the responsibility upon himself. The funeral took place at the Church of England cemetery ycstuvdny afternoon, and was followed by mfmber of the deceased's messmates. —October 10.

As two men—father and sou— named Philips, were searchiug for firewood on yesterday alfernoon, on the Glcnbttrn Beach, Freeman's Bay, they found, embedded in the sand, a eofiin, containing the bones of a human being, evidently that of a female. The cotlin was in good order, and measured six feet in length, and was, apparently, made by mi Englishman, being well finished in a workmanlike manner, aiid composed of kauri'pine. The ends and lid were slightly rotten, but the remaining part in an excellent state of preservation.—October 12.

Escaped a.vd Caucht Aoai:.'.—Allen Stewart, late a Captain attached to the 3rd IJegt., was apprehended yesterday evening on a charge of perjury, arising out of a civil action, tile report of which appeared in the columns ol the H uj.'ai.p, anil lalely brought by the accused against luisigu jSlakemere, formerly a Subaltern under liis command, The particulars of his capture are somewhat curious- It appears the warrant for bis arrest was issued, and the authorities received informal ion us to Capt. Stewarts supposed whereabouts on Monday last, but could gel 110 scent of him until yesterday afternoon, when they beard he had been seen during the day at the Old 11 ouse at Home Hotel, in iiobsonstreet. I'olio.visg t heir chic, Seijeant. Scott and Constable Tcarnahan (who were entrusted with the case and were suitably disguised), from infornuition received stationed themselves at an unfrequented spot near Smailes Point, and were shortly afterwards rewarded for their diligence by seeing a young lady advancing towards them, -dressed in the height of lashion with a black silk dress and any quantity ot. flounces, a bonnet, and veil, (ildHHidc, and sfroiigly supported by crinoline and the - u*ual mvsterioliM arrangements appertaining to icm'ale attire. As the lady approached the ollicers she was so much aileeted as to be compelled to use her handkerchief to dry the tears llowing from her fair eyes. 'I he eofi.'tables, w ilh their ustisl gnllan try/ felt an unaccountable interest in the well'.'.':? of the fascinating/eiiiale who was apparently so ovcrcOiVfc* by hei* lcelmgs as to be compelled to be supported by two gentlemen. The more so, perhaps, because the} imagined :'hcv perceived a family likeness to the individual for whom t&ey were 111 search, Ihe interesting trio made their way fd a boat which appeared'to be in waiting, and had succeeded 111 putting her oil", when the constables walked 11 short distance into the water, and, dragging the boat once more to terra lirma, discovered in the interesting young lady the well-known lace ol tile gall."inf i:-.">:pt?m, who did not seem at all rejoiced at the turn affairs had taken. .the prisoner was immediately conveyed', 111 lhe dress he had assumed, to the guard-room. It appears lie had completed his plans for his intended escape, and had engaged a waterman to take him from the. place where he was apprehended over to the North Shore. He wi:l be brought before the .Resident. Magistrate this morning, bnoscquentjy Mrs. btewart was taken into custody on a charge of 11 similar nature. —October 12. 'J'liosi Alexandra wo learn that the greatci part of the Militia located at that towuslup have ocen placed upon their town allotments and are busily encased in and. iouciug tho suiue. Those stationed at ivihi Kilii were busily employed in .splitting timber for fencing purposes and sawing boards for their huts and houses. The ' Gundagai' had arrived on the 7th, bringing with her a few of the wives and lamiles of the men stationed at Alexandra.—-October ]3a>*k -Notes. —Caltion. —Fifteen or sixteen years ago the Governor, 011 receipt of instructions from the Home Government, established a bank under the title of " The Colonial Bank ol Issue ol'iNew Zealand," and a quantity of books, eaeli one containing 200 notes lor £5, a portion of the paper stock on hand. Ihese books, the nolcsof which were of course unsigned,

were packed in boxes whichhave been, it seems, lying about in some of the Government lumber rooms from the day ol the winding-up ol the Colonial Hank of issue to the present time. Lately, however, a case which should contain live dozen of these books, each containing -00 unsigned Jts notes, has been loiind open, and but lour dozen of (lie books remaining in it, and lately one of the not.es was changed at the Greyhound Hotel, and the full change of .Co obtained for it. TJie notes lire, as we stated, all for £o, and are printed iu red ink on wlute paper, the numbers of the note, 011 either side the Government. arms, being printed in bmck mk. G real, carelessness must havebeeli exercised m receiving the note changed at the Greyhound, as not only is there no Colonial .Bank ot Issue iu i\w Zealand, but the note ilsclt eontamed no signature in tlic right hand lower corner.

' It:' appears from the evidence that the corpse, wl icli 1 ' seemed to be that of a labouring man, had both' under water for some eight of nine days.

The jury returned a verdict " that the deceased whose name was unknown, was found dead off tlio Queen-street wharf, without mai'ks of violence, on October the 12th instant." Subsequently to the enquiry the Coroner identified the defeased from lii.s genera] appearance, and more especially from his fractnml leg, as being the missing man Callanan, whom he had frequently attended during h?s life time at the Provincial Hospital.—October 13. Tirt: Jiisunt. Pa tjs the JSonnr.—Elsewhere will be lonnd the letter of a Mat alcana settler, continuing the. latest intelligence from Onicha. Intelligence which, however satisfactory'it raav be, as bringing some hopes for settlers of temporary freedom from outrage,' is one of deep humiliation, and cannot but raise in the minds of honest men and Englishmen," a feeling of scorn and contempt for the miserable driTellir.> whiOli has rendered it necessary that Maori rcLic's, late our prisoners, should dictate terms to us, and Jery contributions in food and clothing as blackmail, as the price of their forbearance from robbing and plundering, and perchance murdering British settlers, living in settled .Europe,'M districts, with 25 miles of tjic capital. "When Sir George Groy took those Maori prisoners from tlio safe keeping of the Colonial- Government, arid placed them on the Knwau with no other security for their rcinitming !here but their own parole ; he committed a gross blunder, but when he allowed these men after • their escape to entrench themselves on the mainland. iiT what now turns out to be an impregnable pah, Tic committed something more than a blunder—he did that which has brought, the British name arid British arms into disgrace, and has brought the blusli of shame into every Englishman's face. We are, indeed, draining the dregs of the cup of shame and humiliation which a truckling imbecility and deference to Exeter Hall vagaries has brought upon this Colony. The kite secret expedition of the ' Victoria' and the embassy of Major Cooper is the crowning point of shame: — how great a depth there is in the pif to which we may yet descend Sit* George Grey alone knows.—October 11.

Mir.ri'AUY Puxekai,.—The funeral of Charles Sehafer, a private attached to the ] st class of IN* o. 3 Company, Auckland 2?l»Jitia. took place yesterday afternoon. The procession, commanded bv" Cap tain Jirophy.

I)AXfii:i;of's o'rcrunKXCF. —The inhabitants of Short land-street h'ito ninth alarmed yesterday about noon by ;i youug horse which galloped with Tont speed down "that, street, -dragging with it a large goods' curt, known as •' Higgins's Lightning Express." The horse proceeded like liuhhiiiiii down. Shorthmd-street, turning the i-onu'i' of Queen-street 1-oading towards the \\ liarl". and narrowly escaping" knocking down two ladies at that. spot. The affrighted animal then pursued its headlong eareer along the W'harl. and never stopped until compelled to do so by Ihe main rigging of the " Glendower, that Mas luckily lying at the extreme end of the ■jetty. Strange to say that, although there were 'ten or twelve carts on the Wharf at the time, and either side of it was tilled with timber, no accident occurred.-- October li>.

: \[ ii.mA Si! ujkeits.—The agitatorsagainst the calling out ot'the II ilitiu down South have got up nu absurd rumour, it would seem, that when drilled. Middle island men will be brought up here 10 i'mht Ihe Maoris. Such a tiling cou.d not be done without the consent of the Assembly, and therefore, they have no reason to believe this "raw head andbloody bones" story. It every red coat were withdrawn i'roin New Zealand tomorrow. there are men enough, in the Province of Auckland alone, able and willing to conquer I lie whole country, and clear oil all obstructions to the free title to the land. What the AngloSaxon race did in America, they are quite able to do iisjain in the northern island ot i\cw Zealand, without aid i'roin .British tropps, Uritish money, or any extraneous source whatever. It must'come to this by-and-bye, so there is 110 use in blinking the question. The whole moral responsibility ol' having caused such a s ate ot

things will be a joint inheritance lor the iinlish Government, Sir George Grey, and Hall. The Militia movement," says theMitrlburoug.i Prev.v '• appears to have excited a strong ieehng of indication in the breasts of tlie non-comba-tive The provincials of Marlborough object to being made food for Maori rifles, ihc prevailbeing that a militia is only being enrolled for the purpose by-and-byc ot drafting tliem oil' to Auckland. blioxild this be the object, a greater mistake could not have been made by the Northern Government. hat will desperate men not do?

The particulars of bis escape and apprehension are somewhat interesting. It appears that the information was laid here by Mr. .Banks, on the 7th of May last, wth the view of the warrant being forwarded to Svdney. to which placc the prisoner had sailed in the steamer ' Soucliays' some few days previously. The fugitive arrived ill Sydney on the 13tli of May, and left by the same vessel, i'nr Melbourne, on the day before the Commissioner of Police at Sydney received the warrant for his apprehension from Auckland. Tn accordance with instructions received by that oliicial from our worthy and vigilant head oft lie Police, Mr. J\ r aughtoii, the warrant was at onco despatched after the unconscious forger to' Melbourne, but it appeared that before tliafc document arrived the accuscd was already in sate keeping, having been arrested and sentenced to four months' imprisonment, at the common gaol at Melbourne, for robbing a fellow passenger named John IDestabile of.the sum of £1(30 on the voyage between Sydney and Victoria.- Great credit is due to detective Alexander J. Martin, who cleverly traced the prisoner to his hiding place oh his landing io Victoria. Pawceti's sentence lor that crime expired on the 13th of last month, when lie was again arrested on the charge now pending against him : the warrant foi' his apprehension having been detained by the authorities in order* that it might be executed at the expiration of the: imprisonment he was then undergoing. Mr. jS augliton received a communication a tew day# ago, from the " powers that be" , at Melbourne* dated September 13th, stating that the offender would be forwarded to this city under escort, in the course of a few days, and the much-sougbt-for individual arrived by the 'Hero' from Melbourne, on. Monday, under the charjp of Constable Arthur Jameson, of the Victoria Mounted Police. —October 19. . Baptist Chapet, Anniversary. —Toe" anni~vorsary of the Baptist Chapel, Wellesley-street r was celebrated last evening by a public, tea; meeting. There was a very large attendanceThe very tasteful manner in which both schoolroom and chapel were decorated proved that the young people of both sexes had not been backward in their efforts to make the place of meeting as attractive to the visitor as it was possible? for a plentiful supply of evergreens, an endless? variety of flowers, and some very banners, Ac., were possible to make it. Tea was pari aken of in the schoolroom attached to tlic* elianel—and although a large supply Of eatables Lad been provided, the attendance was so> numerous that the fair ladies in charge of the tables began to fear the demand would prove greater than the supply ; however, there proved-, to be a sulßciency lor all. Alter tea', the eharr was taken by the Eev. P. H. CoTfiford, the' pastor of the church, who, after making a' icyrremarks expressive of his pleasure at seel&g so' many present, called upon, tlie Secretary ot ilio Chureli (M>\ J. E. Cox) to readtlie report, frotiu which it appeared that although a heavy debt still remains as a drawback to the Church, steady ;vnd persevering efforts are being made to reduce'it, and it is eonfidentsJly expected that in three or four years it "will only jtientionecl as a thing of the past. Tbe meeting was afterwards addressed by the .Revs. Messrs*- Hameiv Macdonald, Warren, and Mr. Douglas, late at London. —October 15).

In the course►i the entertniiinient suitable addresses - \vete~ leliverod by Messrs. Spriggs, Bradley, TJtting, ind Steele •. recitations by Messrs.

The medium is an advertising " Act D'l-op," which, as it will be exhibited during the ipera season, must be a source of publicity acid irofit to those who avail themselves of the opiortunity afforded. This mode of advertising s by no means new in the large cities of tlie Australian colonies, but quite a novelty here, md will, without doubt, handsomely pay botlu he speculators and their patrons. The act will >e handsomely decorated, and the cards laid 1m md embellished by Messrs.

The Escaped jNatives.—We learn, on good LUthority, that the information we lately pubished that the escaped prisoners were stealing tway iu small parties from the pa- at Omaha, urns out to be correct. A party ot about a lozeu of them are now at Wangarei, and the oyal natives are considerably annoyed at the •onsequences which may result from their inluenco on the young men of the tribes. Mr, V. T. White, as our readers' are aware, visited lie pa a day or two ago.
