WELLINGTON.

This day. The Native Minister has receded information from several chiefs in the J£ing' country that they are willing to allow prospecting through that part of the j country, and instructions have been sent to Mr Wilkinson, Government agent at Alexandria, to select prospectors who will at once, in company with natives, proceed to Bangitoto, where it is believed gold will be discovered. Government are about to undertake earthworks in connection with the defence works on Bipa Island, Lyttelton Harbor, to be in readiness for the new guns which are to arrive from England. Mr Ward, an expert in the use of torpedoes, who was selected at home for the New Zealand Government by the Agent-Seneral, has arrived in the colony, and reported himself to the Defence Minister. Mr Ward, who is a pensioner of the Imperial Army, is said to be a specialist of the W hitehead and Fish torpedoes, and as it is the intention of Government to obtain a number of such torpedoes, Mr Ward's duties will be particularly devoted to those.
