AUCKLAND.
This day.
News from Samoa reports that the Natives are still fighting. Fifty of the Government party were killed. The rebels, however, are starving, and are expected to surrender.
The Natives of the Friendly Gronp are very insolent to Europeans. They stole the Eev. Mr Baker's boat at Tonga. Horses have been stabbed and houses broken into. An application has been made for a resident consul. The house of Captain Bradley, an old resident of Onia, was burned. The remains of the unfortunate man were found in the ruins. The body was charred, but it was evident the fire was intended to conceal a diabolical crime. The arms and legs were broken, and the skull hammered in. Bradley was an inoffensive man. The Bey. Mr Watkins, missionary, has written to Sir Arthur ■Gordon, Governor of Fiji, for a man-of-war to investigate the matter.
Mr A. Buckland reports—Fat cattle, 20s; for medium, 30s; for best fat sheep (plentiful) ewes and wethers, twopence to threepence; lambs, full supply, good demaud, 9s and 11s.
