The Tauanaiu Det\ci:ment of A.C. in Waxkato. — The travelling correspondent of the South. era Cross writes from Cambridge as follows :—: — ■" The Taranaki detaohraont of the Armed Constabnlary marched from Cambridgo on tho 14th, under the command of Sub-Inspoctor Nowoll. Colonel Lyon expressed himself well pleased both by tho conduct, discipline, and appearance of the men ; and this would havo been confirmed by any one witnessing them at drill. They certainly are well trained in the manual, platoon, and bayonet exorcise, which certainly reflects great credit upon thoir drill-instructor. They have gono to Pukura, for the purpose of building aud occupying a redoubt. Tho men were evidently very much surprised when they arrived hero to find everything so quiet, for thoir wives, Bweethearts, &c, all thought they were off to the seat of war, whioh onby shows how aff.iirs transacted j here are magnified, not only in this Provinoe, but in others." Death of Mr.. Henry Redwood of Nelson. We notice by the Nelson papers that Mr. Henry Redwood died on the 19th iustant, aged sevoutynino years. He arrived at Nelson in tbo ship ' George Fyfo,' in the year 1842, and at once commenced farming operations at Waimea West. By dint of hard work, untiring iudustry, and much self-denial, ho succeeded in securing a largo and valuable property in that district, and in 1555 made his first pnrohaso of land in the Wairau, which he stocked with sheep, aud at tho time of his death was the owner of o"he of the finest properties in the Province of Marlborough. In thedaysof his prosperity ho did not forget to administer to the wants of others, and he and Mrs. Redwood aro known far aud wide for their kindness and hospitality, aud their willingness to assist all who were in distress. Until attacked by tho disease, which, aftor many woary months of suffering, ultimately carried him off, Mr. Rodwood never knew what it was to havo a day's illness, and his stalwart form and genial hearty manner were well kuown to all Nolsou settlors.
