WELLINGTON.
His Excellency Sir George Grey returned to Wellington on Saturday evening in H.M. s.s. Eclipse. His Excellency landed at Thorndon in one of the man-of-war's boats about half-past ten the same night, and at once proceeded to Government House. We believe that with the exception of the refusal of Rewi and the king to meet Sir George Grey, the Vice-Regal visit to the several tribes on the East and West Coasts of this island has been highly satisfactory. On the East Coast the Arawas have expressed their intention to bring in Kereopa and Patara, aud at the recent meeting between Wi Thompson and his Excellency, the "king maker" made promises which there is every hope will be kept. We believe a full report of the meeting will be laid before both Houses of Parliament. Te Ua, the prophet, returned with his Excellency on board the Eclipse, and was landed yesterday morning looking rather feeble. He will remain in Wellington during his Excellency's pleasure, but his ultimate fate we are unable to predict.— W. E. Post May 7.
