WELLINGTON.
Tuesday. Information has been received that Captain Mair reports to the Government that a party of the Ngatiwhikau have left Rotorua armed to occupy two blocks of land at Maketu, which some other natives are trying to put through the Court, and to which the Ngatiwhikau are objectors. A lighthouse-keeper named McGowan, at the Brothers lighthouse, met with a painful accident at the lighthouse last Friday morning by : slipping down a steep ladder and breaking his thigh. The poor fellow had to climb up two flights of ladders to enable him to signal to the other keepers at the dwelling house. Last August McGowan had his leg broken in the same place.
