AUCKLAND.
July 18. Arrived—Southern Cross, from Levuka. The schooner Windward Ho reports the shooting of one of its boat's crew at Pentecost Island.—Satisfaction is expressed at the presence of a United States frigate in those waters, as the natives who murdered the May Queen crew are believed to be the same as those who murdered Johnson, the American whaler, and the American warship is expected to demand reparation.—A deputation waited upon the Governor, and said that, owing to miscalculations by the Agent-General of Immigration, and the difficulty in obtaining suitable vessels, labour would be scarce this year. —Another lot of 150 coolies have been placed on the estate of the Sugar Refining Company.—Measles are still prevalent in some parts of the Group.
