Export of Live Stock.—The following is the export of live stock from Port Ahuriri during the month ending July 31 :—Cattle, 120 head; sheep, 1,012. Armed Constabulary.-A number of the above force, mounted and foot, left town on Saturday, for Petane, where they will be stationed for a short time Te Haroto, we hear, will be their ultimate destination. . . . Reinforcements for Waikato, in the shape of 200 men, have be p n ordered from Tauranga; and the force at Matata is about to be increased. . . . Col. St. John was in Auckland at latest dates. Native News. —Telegrams from Waikato in Auckland papers to hand yesterday state that four rebel Maoris, laden with arms and ammunition purchased at Auckland, had been arrested at Ngaruawahia, en route for Tokangamutu. The names of the prisoners are known, and a clue has been obtained as to the parties who supplied them. Te Kooti appears to have quarrelled with Ta whaio, and has left Waikato, but only with the intention of returning with an augmented force. The latest news will be found in another column, under the head " Waikato.'' The Napier Garrick Club. — The second performance of this club was given on Thursday night in the Oddfellows' Hall, and was very successful. It commenced with the overture to "Tancredi" by the orchestra, followed by Tom Taylor's extravagant farce of " A Blighted Being. - ' The overture to "Zampa" was next on the programme, and was succeeded "by the lively interlude of "Taming a Tiger." The fine quadrille "La Grand Duchesse " followed, well performed by the orchestra, and was loudly applauded by the audience. The entertainment concluded with another farce —" To Paris and Back for Five Pounds.'' The scenery was good, and the acting throughout, was very creditable, the amateurs being well up in their parts, and the feminine characters veil sustained. The liabilities of the Club being now settled, the next performance will be for some charitable object. We must go from Home to hear News. —The Napier correspondent of the Otago Daily Times appears to be gifted with a most vivid imagination, if we may judge from his writings to that journal. Among other things of an equally truthful nature that he has stated, we notice the following :—That the miraculous escape of Colonel Herrick whilst reconnoitring the Whakaare pa formed the chief topic of conversa tion in Napier for some davs; that the abandonment of the Waikarimoana expedition is generally considered here as a step in the right direction ; and, lastlj-, he propagates the statement that appeared in the Herald, but was afterwards denied in the same journal, of the public burning of effigies at Waipawa, and 'speaks of certain grand demonstrations at Napier, of which we at least never heard before, as follows : "Two davs ago effigies of members ,of the late Ministry were publicly !burned at Waipawa, the second town in this Province. At night there were illuminations, fireworks, and bonfires on all the hills around. The [same ceremonies are about to be celebrated at various other townships. 'Napier will probably limit its dis'play to fireworks, of which a great quantity has been lately consumed. A canvas is going on for subscriptions, in order to get up a display on a large scale,"
