There does not apto be any local news of interest. ®y the Simlah we have received Auckland to Ist October, but they contain no jV ° l° ca l interest. A rumour was cur- ■ ot the discovery of gold at Ilokianga,

but not much reliance was placed on the report ; we have extracted from the Southern Cross the particulars of this alleged discovery.
