The Chinese are gradually increasing in Otago. For some months past a large "number have been at work on old ground in.the vici-. nity of Gabriel's Gully, and we.have not heard of any crimes having been committed by them.

The Opotiki expedition, for the pay of officers and men alone, from the 16th August, 1865, to the 31st of March, 1866, has cost the Government the handsome sum of £22,164, exclusive of the cost of the Com-, missariat Department, clothing, shoes, transport, and ammunition ; and if compensation is to be added, the land will be dearly purchased, especially if large European, as well as native claims have to be entertained.
