TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
o — The Examiner of this morning has the following: — "" Wellington, July 30. The Sturt arrived this morning, from Patea, with 98 Maori prisoners, all men under a guard of 46 Ngatiporous. They were transferred to the hulk City ' of Newcastle, and will be tried shortly. In the event of their conviction, their destination will be Otago, Macandrew, the Superintendent of that province, having offered to take them under certain stipulations. Erom private information we have received, we learn that the Government are paying £50 per month to the owners ... of the City of Newcastle for ' the use of that vessel. Some people may assert that this, in addition to the expense of first catching our Maori prisoners, is rather a large sum to pay for housing them ; but as money is very plentiful in New Zealand just now, of course it doesn't much matter.
