Napier, Oct. 22
The steamer Star of the South has just returned from Wairoa, and brings intelligence, so far as the safety of the district is concerned.
The alarm has been absurdly exaggerated^ and no danger is anticipated. There are.no Hau-haus within twelve miles of Clyde. A few of the deserted settlers' houses, which had been abandoned at the military settlement, have been plundered of everything of value. It is supposed on good authority that this has been done by the Friendly Natives.
The public house was left untouched. The women and children declined to leave Wairoa, conceiving that no danger existed either to themselves or their properties. . The Hon. Mr Richmond and tbe Hon. DonaM M'Lean, who went up in the St. JJiJda, have gone on to the East, Cape.
