AUCKLAND.

Auckland news is to the 30th ulfc. Te Kooti is reported to have stopped at Pukeraki. He is building a pah there. Weterc and SOU men are said to be marching to attack him there. A telegram describes the appearance of Te Kooti, as r<‘],v ed by a native who had seen him (Tokanganmtu) as follows His height is about live feet nine inches. He s-toops wh n walking, and has a dogged appearance when not excited; has a slight beard and moustache, but no tattoo on his face ; bis nose is slightly hooked. He is believed to be the original Chatham Islam! prisoner, and no*- the representative of him, as was reported some time auo. To H u Hen and his tii e have left Te Kooti, and are with Tawhi o as his guests. Thu nativ s about Alexandra, reassured by Te Kooti’s departure, have gone back to their settlements. The Nuatimatatuas were on the 29tli on tlm mad home to Waiuku. It is not true that Tawhiao’s large In use has been burned down, It is considered in Auckland that danger in the Waikato is over for the present. The batteries of Coodall’s machine were cleaned up on 8 tu’diy. and the stuff retorted, the result being 245 ozs. of gold for two and a half days crushing of Golden Crown stone. On Thursday last, the amalgamating pans were cleaned out, and 112 ounces of gold obtained from them. The batt-rics are still on Golden Crown stuff, excepting the one-stamper, wh ch is reducing a coup e of tons from a claim, the name of which is kept seer t by the owner. One ewt. of specimens from the lied, White, and Blue claim was treated in the usual manner on Satur ay, and yielded 27.1 ozs. of gold. The excitement at Shortkmd on July 2(5, has been “Jupiter’s.” several interests having changed hands at very high prices. I have visited the claim, whi hj is situated ou the Hape, a short distance f om the renowned Tweedside. I was rather surprised to see the body of stone, and the specimens taken out are very rich. A sample yoes to Auckland to-night, an 1 no doubt your readers will vet a sight of them. The claim consists of 12 men’s ground, and I know of none in the neiuhbourho' d to equal it The prices paid have been after the rate of LSOO a full share. Tk Kooti Cleare Out for Taupo. We have received our usual Waikato letters from correspondents at the various settlements. There contain, besides some account of the detention and examination of the three Maoris lately seized with arms and ammunition in their possession, the various ammises prevalent in Waikato as to the doings and whereabouts of Te Kooti. From other sources, however, we are enal led to inform our readers that Te Kooti and all his Mowers have taken their final departure for Taupo, by way of Tuhua. The Natives about Alexandra had become reassured, and had gone back to their settlements. The Ngatiatuas (Waiuku Natives) were yesterday on the road down frpm Te Kuiti to Wa uku It is rot true, as reported. that Tawhiao’s large house has been burned down. Rush to Coromandel Rich Quartz Beef 1 'ISCOVERKD. By a boat which arrived from Command'd this morning, several gent emen arrived, and are applicants for a lease for a claim on the dividing range between Coromandel and Kcn-

ucdy’s Bay The ground applied for is next a claim worked by M ‘Lend and party, and m which gidd of exceeding richness has been struck. A rush to the locality has set in. The Long Drive Claim.—Another Leader Stkuck. One of the richest patches, if not the richest of the ninny that have been taken out of the Long Drive Claim, was cut ink this morning in the low level workings, about eight feet above the old long drive Several b.icketsful of specimens were taken nt. We say specimens, whercs the f w that we examined belonged rather to the ■ategory of nuggets than specimens, so thickly did the gold lay in them. Lnliko other parcels of specimens taken out of this claim, the st ne of this one is of b'ue color and very solid. —Evening Star, July -9. The Thames Exchange.
