LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

We are credibly informed that a native of Petarie, named Paora Told, (formerly of some notoriety there as a teacher of Mr. Williams’, and as very troublesome to the settlers,) has just returned wounded from Waikato; and that another native of that neighborhood (Tangoio), named Hirini, was among the killed at Waikato in one of the late engagements. Are our Provincial authorities and Civil Commissioner aware of all this ? and, if so, what do they purpose doing ? Register !—We beg to remind those persons who intend preferring claims to be placed on the electoral roll, that there are now, only fourteen, days on which to send them in. The “ Herald” again. —This journal, in its issues of Saturday and Wednesday last, contains the usual semi-weekly dose of abuse of Mr. Bousfleld, garnished, however, this time, by falsehoods and mis-statements. The scribe who indites these paragraphs is unable to substantiate what he says, and would be ' ashamed to own them personally if taxed.

Two Deserters from the detachment of the 2nd battalion of the 14th Regiment, stationed at Wellington, were captured in Namier last Saturday evening, and have since been harmed over to be dealt with by the military authorities.

Thatcher.-—This celebrity, accompanied by Madame Vitelli and Mr. Small, the wellknown comic singer who visited Napier with the English Opera Company, arrived here from the South yesterday by the Quden, en route to Auckland. We believe that, on their return South, they will give a night’s entertainment in Napier. Elsewhere will be found a capital composition by Thatcher concerning the late fracas at a meeting of the Wellington Town Board. Accident.—On Wednesday last, as the four-wheeled conveyance belonging to Mr. Tatum was proceeding along the road opposite Messrs. Browne’s store, one of the fore wheels suddenly flew off, throwing the vehicle considerably out of its equilibrium. The horses took it safely as far as Gill’s, where the passengers alighted. Just as they had done so, however, the leading horse suddenly swerved, which gave the conveyance a lurch and threw the driver from his seat. The horses then took a dangerous zigzag course up Shakespeare-road, and were ultimately brought to a standstill near Mr. Fitzgerald’s office, fortunately with but little damage.
