MORE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
Mount Betce, Dee. 4. About 4 p.m. yesterday, we observed smoko to the N.W., and shortly afterwards Mr. W. Handley came into camp and told us it was from Mr. Baker's stables, which had been set on fire by the Hauhaus. The redoubt is progressing rapidly to completion ; it is in a splendid position for defence and can be held by us against any number of Hauhaus. The blockhouse will be nearly finished to-morrow. Captain M'Donnell, Ensign M'Donnell, Mr. Eolfe, and 150 loyal Wunganui natives passed here about 12 o'clock to day, marching in the direction of Hewitt's but whero bound for, would not tell. Mount Bktce, Dec. 7th. A party of the Wanganui Cavalry passed under the command of Cornet Ballanco bound for Woodall's —of course you will havo heard of that post being re-occupied. The Hauhaus have re-cr^ssed the Xii Iwi to their old position opposite Woodall's.
