INTERPROVINCIAL.

New Plymouth, Thursday night. - The Hinenooa arrived in the roadstead , shortly after daylight this morning, and at 8 a.m. 44 prisoners were marched down to the beach. All on their way became very demonstrative and indulged in weird cries and gestures. After they were settled in the boats they bid adieu to the natives on shoie with loud cries. The Hinemoa will not take her departure until to morrow as she is waiting for further instructions. The usual daily 'attest of four natives took place this morning at the camp. The natives are fully determined to continue fencing, and openly admit that the fencing is not for the purpose . of protecting their crops but 'simply for the purpose of thwarting the Cousiabulary in taking possession of the confiscated lands.

Gisbobne, Friday. ... Mr Kindall, manager of the Petroleum Company at Poverty Bay, has just returned . .from a prospecting trip to the oil springs. He reports that the surface indications of oil are better than any he ever saw in Pennsylvania, from whence he recently came. Mr Kindall is very sanguine of the results of the boring operations to be shortly commenced. Sydney capitalists have invested largely in shares. Grahamstown, Friday.

The following particulars, supplied by j private letter, reached here, to-day from ' . Okarito :— -" The Okarito rush' is likely to be all right. Two young fellows named Mears and Fleming struck good gold last Friday on a low terrace running as straight as an arrow for about five miles alongside the Forks Biver. Where the road crosses the river there are four parties on payable gold, and about four miles up the creek is where Cunpingham and party are working,

party have got gold intermediately between Cunningham and the road which proves that gold has been traced for fully three miles. There is room for many hundreds of miners, and a steady rush is setting in, and miners are arriving daily overland. Those on the ground aeem satisfied with the appearance of the country." Dunedin, Friday. It appears that the Kyeburu murder was committed parly on Wednesday morning. The three stoves found inside the house are from 30lbs to 50lbs weight, and one of them is covered with blood. A Chinaman who was occasionally employed by the deceased was the first io give the alarm. She appears to have been able to speak at this time, and asked him to go for assistance. On the neighbors arriving, she was asked who did it, whether Chinitmen or Europeans, and she led her questioners to understand that it was a Chinaman. At this time, however, it is uncertain whether she was conscious or not. The house was found to be ransacked, and the deceased in her nightdress was lying on a ruattross on the floor. She had been lifted from her bed. A serious wound was discovered on the left side of her head, several of her ribs were smashed in, and her collarbone was broken. A hayfork was found near the house. No money or valuables had been taken, and over £1000 in deposit receipts and £40 in cash were discovered. The object of itlxe murder was evidently plunder, and although all the likely places were turned out, the money was missed, as it was kept in a place in the kitchen known to herself alone. Mrs Young was universally respected. Christchurch, Friday. The Middle Park Stud Company have purchased the thoroughbred stallion King of Clubs in Australia to take the place of Traducer, deceased.
