TARANAKI.
(From the Taranaki Herald, July 7.) Herald Office, Saturday, 8 a.m. The Airedale, just arrived in the anchorage, brings 104 men of the 65th Regt. and Royal Engineers and two officers. By her also comes the band of the 65th Regt. as 'duty men; the instruments, however, are to come by the Victoria. Two fiftysix pounder breaching guns, with ammunition, accompany the troops. Despatches from the Colonial Secretary recommend to the Commander of the Forces that all privates in the Militia above 50 years of age, and others whose family exceeds five persons in all, should have the option of prolonged leave of absence. Should the Commander of the Forces approve of this arrangement, a free passage to Nelson and a fortnight's rations on arrival will be allowed to all who avail themselves of this liberty. The Airdale will leave by sunset this evening for Nelson. . His Excellency the Governor has forwarded to the Superintendent a-cheque ior £50, towards the relief of necessitous persons* The Maori meeting has not yet begun its sittings, owing to the absence of Mr. McLean, who was expected daily from the South.
