[Press Telegraph Agency.] Auckland, Saturday. The official scrutiny into the votes at the Waitemata election has increased Von der Heyde’s majority to sixty. Edward Little, of Tauranga, was found dead in a closet of the Wesleyan Chapel. The medical examination showed that the deceased, who was well educated, but of very dissolute habits, died of cold, cramp, and destitution. He had taken off his clothes, as if under a hallucination that he was going to bed. He expired of cold during the night. New Plymouth, Saturday. Te Wetere sends a letter to Mr. Parris, asking him to send back a boat to fetch the Europeans who stayed behind on the occasion of a recent visit by a party from this place, and to stop Europeans from going there until he writes again, when it will be all right. The letter was dated July 25, two days before the boat left Mohau. The men left behind have since returned overland. They report having met a kind reception from the Natives.
