T3v the arrival of the Airedale we have late Southern tiles. Otago to the sth ; Nelson, 9tli ; West Coast Ist. ; Wellington, 7th; and Taraniki 9th inst. Amongst the passengers by tho Airedale, are Major General Hr Trevor Chute, and Mr. David Isatlmn, and Miss Nathan. From Kelson we learn that Mr. Stafford has been very coolly received by his constituents. If is speech at die public meeting occupies somo nine columns of the local papers. We give the condensed telegraphic account as furnished by the Wellington and G'tago journals. The meeting to consider tlie advisability of establishing a hire Insurance Company in Wellington, took place on the sth inst., when the following resolutions were passed : — 1 That in the opinion of this meeting tho time ha 3 come for the est .blishment of a local Tire Insurance Company. •2 That tho following gentlemen bo appointed a provisional committee, with powor to add to their number, to tako tho necesa 'iy sieps for the establishment of tho Wellington Kiro Insurance Company with limited liability ; and that they do report aa early as possible to a meeting to be colled for that puipofo: —Meesr-. G. Crawford, J. Euri.e, J. Martin, M. Q.uin, J. E. Nathan, J. Dransfield, J. Plimmer, D. Mclntyre. It was almost unanimously resolved to limit the liability. O'Farrell it will be seen has left a written confession behind him. He acknowledges Ins guilt and expresses sorrow for tho crime. He withdraws nil previous statements made that the act was committed by order of auy organised body, and indeed denies that ho was an actual member of the Fenian Society. From Otago we learn that the Celestial Queen has arrived with the expected salmon ova in good condition. Boxes of the ova have been sent to the river Molyneux. The live salmon, trout, and other fish died on tho passage.
