BAY OF ISLANDS.

[From the New Zealander.] Our ally Nene, with the chiefs Repa and Noble, have arrived from the Bay of Islands, in order to confer with his Excellency the Governor on the measures to be adopted, in consequence of the continued hostile proceedings of Heki and his followers.

H.M.S. Racehorse arrived from the Bay of Islands on. Thursday morning. All is quiet at present there. In the middle of April some of the adherents of Heki commanded by the chief Pene Taui had an interview with Tamati Waka and Makoare, at Hokianga, when they were cordially reconciled; Pene Taui and his people disclaiming all further connexion and assistance to Heki. The latter chief is still restless and inclined to further mischief, declaring that the tupapaku (the corpse) of the flag-staff shall not be raised to life, because those who died in cutting it down cannot be again restored to life. — May 16. His Excellency the Governor embarked yesterday evening, on board H.M. steamer Driver, for the Bay of Islands. He afterwards proceeds to Monganui and Kaitaia, by sea, returning to the Bay of Islands overland, for the purpose of settling some dispute concerning the land purchased of Nopera, at Monganui, on behalf of Government. — May 16. His Excellency the Governor returned from the northward, in H.M. steamer Driver, yesterday afternoon. We understand that all is quiet at the Bay of Islands. There was a great assemblage of chiefs to meet his Excellency, but Heki was not present. — May 30.
