We have received a few Auckland Papers to August 12th, but they do not contain anv local intelligence, the Cross gravely informs its readers, as news from Wellington, of a rumour that the Governor-in-chief exhausted by the opposition of the Wellingtonians, has retired to rusticate at Taranaki. The first arrival from Wellington will enable the credulous gobe mouche to contradict his own rumours in the most complete and satisfactory manner. The same excellent authority appears to discover in the Proclamation including Canterbury in the middle district for judicial purposes, an evasion of the desire of the Canterbury settlers for the erection of their settlement into a separate Province, whereas it is well known the alteration has been made at the request of the Canterbury settlers who find, from the frequent communication between Lyttelton and Wellington, that it will be much more convenient to them to be included in this district than in that of Otago, with which at present they have hardly any intercourse.
