Dr Cockayne proceeds to Wellington to-morrow on route for Kapiti island whore ho will liberate a number of birds captured on tho southern islands. Welliugtou, Dec. 2. The Marino Department has re* ceived no official report that the Government provision stores at Auckland Island had beeu plundered as reported by one of the Dnndonald'sS survivors.
