WELLINGTON.
.W Weilington, This day. Th.a new clipper ship Waikato has arrived. She left London on March 24th, and is the first of a new line of immigrant built for the New Zealand Shipping Company. The passengers by the Waikato have arrived.in excellent condition, and will bo lauded to-day and placed in the Immigration barracks. McDonald was sentenced this morning to three years' penal servitude, the shortest term the -Act allowed. Before being discharged thd prisoner is to find sureties for keeping the peace in his part of the country—himself in £500 and two ■ureties in £50 each. The judge gave a long addresß, in the course of which he aaid he could not entertain the prisoner's statement in extenuation. Having received Young with the utmost cordiality, and. even tried to obtain a passage in the coach,; and failing to obtain it, he then deliberately shoots his horse, under the pretence of doing something to satisfy the natives, and so prevent something worse being done. This could only be characterised as base and treacherous conduct. It was people such as he who so much retarded the progress and enlightenment of the native race.
