(From the IF. C. Tunes.) Napier, Jan. 18. Te Kooti ia within one day's march of Oraku, in the Waikato. Major Kemp and Native -Contingent have arrived at the Waikato boundary. Two hundred King natives have left Te Kuiti, to caution Kemp against entering the King's territory. Kemp replied that he will follow Te Kooti whether the King permits it or not. A collision between the two parties is expected to take place should the King attempt to hold Kemp in check; the latter being determined. Colonel Monie has reinforced Cambridge, and has sent out scouts. The New Zealand Herald of the 14th has the following : — The King has sent a native, woman to warn the Government. Te Kooti was expected to attack Oraku. The body of a European was found near Runui, but whether his death is attributable to Te Kooti or not the telegram does not state. L')uis Hetit forwarded information from Waikato, in which he confesses he is fairly puzzled as to what are the King's intentions. The Hero took 36420z of gold for Sydney, shipped by the Bank of New Zealand. The Countess of Kintore, for London, takes 7000oz. No. 4 leader in the Moanatirai claim shows splendidly. Another rich patch of gold has been discovei-ed in the Golden Age claim. . . H.M.S.S.
