WELLINGTON.
(Fjob our own correspondent.) [By Telegraph.] Tuesday night. Mr Hall loaves by tb.* Hinemoa to-morrow for Lyttelton, Mrt and Miss Hall accompany. Ing him. Th« Hiuemoa goss to fetch 200 A.C recruits who are to be enlistad in Chrisichurch. The Gorernment hare telegrams from Mr Rolleston and the officers commanding on the Weat Coast, but not a word in corrobor&tion of the rather alaneing telegrams of the Press Association. I am unable to assert that the latter are incorrect, but assuredly they are wholly uncorroborated, and the entire weight of circumstantial evideMce goes against the probability of the alleged circumstances regarding Titoko Waru, aad the reported threat! against the Waimate Tlains settler*. The GoTernment, however, are actively preparing for all contingencies. ,p, , This Day, 3 30pm. Ine departure of the Hinemoa for south with the Premier and his family is postponed till to morrow. Mr Dick leaves by the Albion this evening. No telegrams hare been received from tho Native Minister to-day but Col. Reader telegraphs that the report circulated by the Press Association regarding the scuffle of a man named Daniells with a Maori, and the compulsory flight of the former is a " pure fabrication." wbila the story about Mr Rolleston and Col. Roberts baring to go abr,ut with a strong armed guard has its sole foundation in their being attended by the usual orderlies. There is no probability of any forward movement on the part of the Government for some little time to come, meanwhile the force on the West Coaßt is being steadily strengthened.
