We have to thank Mr Adams, purser of the Airedale, Mr Moss, purser of the Wellington, and Capt. Bendall, of the Star of the South, for files of Auckland papers to the 28th April. The East Coast.—By the arrival of the Colonial Government s.s. St. Kilda on Friday night, we have some late intelligence from the East Coast. Te Kooti was reported to be within 50 miles of Poverty Bay on the 28th ult.; and Ropata, at the head of some 300 Ngatiporous, was in pursuit, having left Tologa Bay on the 27th ult.
