Mtodeb AT Pipibiki.—Wo have private information that a murder has been committed by one of the Bushrangers stationed at Pipiriki, the victim being a non-commissioned officerof tne same corps. The facts, so far as they have reached us, are as follows:—One of the Bushrangers had refused duty, and words took plaee in consequence between him and his non-commissioned officer. The former would not obey orders and the latter insisted that it should. It appears that the dispute waxed hot, and at length the private, in a fit of passion, seized hisloaded rifle, presented it, and tired, killing the other dead on the spot. The prisoner was expected to arrive in Wanganui on Tuesday 26th. ■ ■
