From our Bay of Islands Correspondent, October 14, 1843.

The brig Guide, arrived here on the lltl* from Port Nicholson, but as she had no wai

or newspapers on board, we have got the news from the Captain so far as he knew. The Ursula had arrived there from London, after a four months' passage, having left about the middle of May. Captain Fitzroy was to leave a fortnight after in the Bangalore ; on his way he was to settle some Admiralty business at the Cape, and then to proceed to Sydney ; so it will be most likely two months before he can arrive in Auckland, giving the present Governor an opportunity of eating a second Chrismas dinner as Viceroy of Ulster and Munster. Sixteen passengers came in the Ursula, bringing Land Orders from the Company, and the Captain said they were put in immediate possession of their lands. He states that there was a large assemblage of Natives at Wellington, and that they were still annoying the settlers, and that the North Star, man-of-war, was remainig there for protection of the inhabitants. It is said that parties inimical to the Land Claimants on the Middle Island had been putting mischief in their heads. Mr. W — tells me that he understands that the sub-protector of aborigines had received instructions from the Colonial Secretary's j Office direct, not through the Chief Protector, to make enquiries among all the tribes in the district, to ascertain whether they are all satisfied with the payment made to them for land, and to report accordingly. Mr. WW — • says that there will be Protests against every claim in the whole country if this plan is ! persevered in.
