ALEXANDRA.
From a native who arrived hero yesterday I am informed that two of tho prospecting parties, now out, have been stopped at a settlement named Waimea. The parties were supposed to bo en route for the Tuhua country. The half-caste, John Warren, committed for trial here last week for bieaking and entering Mr John I). Hill's store, having succeeded in finding the required security is now released on bail. Mr OBrien, the contractor for the big tunnel, has met with a heavy loss, some 20,000 feet of timber he had cut being entirely consumed by tire last week. We have had a heavy shower or two during the week, barely sufficient to do much good, but from the bigns more is expected and hoped tor. There is a good deal of sickness amongst the natives just now, and a few bad cases of erysipelas, which u supposed to have been imported from Parihaka.
