The Hawke's Bay Times. NAPIER, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1865.

Singe oar last resume we have had several arrivals fron both North and South. Among Jinan has been the St, Kilda, from the Coast. She, however, did not bring any intelligence of the importance anticipated, as the .projected rendezvous of war steamers off Opotiki had not taken place at the time she left. She came in for a farther supply of stores and ammunition for the friendly Chief Haukamu.at Hick’s Bay who had been skirmishing with the rebels, and was expecting an attack from Kereopa, who was in that neighborhood. There had been some other instances of skirmishing between parties of natives the advantage being, on the whole in favor of the friendlies, as might be supposed from the superior quality of their arms and equip, meats. The St. Kilda, returned on the Sth, with supplies to Hicks Bay.

From Wellington, the nows is full of in, tercet, The Wold Ministry having, in the development of its policy, failed to satisfy the requirements of the house, or times; was in imminent danger of a defeat. TheirSchemc of native government, was considered to be unequal to the emergency ; while that of finance, was eminently unsatisfactory. A defeat on the latter question was confidently expected ; and as this would be followed by a dissolution; it is probable that the Airedale, Bcw.-hourly expected here, will bring home

the members for Napier and Clive. If this should not be the case. She will certainly bring news of great importance concerning the doings of the grand field day of the house. In another, place will be found a communication from a working man, on the subject of the proposed Masters’ and Servants’ act, which we commend to the attention of our readers;- The Act had not been passed at* our latest dates, but was re-committed on the criminal punishment clauses ; thus being staved off for a short time longer. It was not intended by its oponents that it should pass its third reading, even in its greatly modified form, without a severe contest. Of local events wfe have but little to note. A feeling of gloom has been cast over the town by the passing from among us of Mr T. Murray, yesterday morning. For several years he has filled the office of chief pilot of the port, and was highly esteemed by the whole - com mnnity.
