Mr Mcllhone has been here, but it is not known on what errand. Perhaps lie is here as the stormy petrel of the coming political struggle, or Mediator in some of the Waitek&uri cases. I hear h» has come up on business in connection with the Natives. A supplementary requisition to Sir George Grey has been got up and received in two days over 100 signatures. It will be presented to him when he cornea up. ,
