The Hon, the Native Minister has received from Tomihana, a Kingite chief, and son of the well-known Thompson,.. a telegram offering to send 200 of the Kingites to the Soudan,
The Government are making all preparations in their power to place the ports under defence. The surroundings to harbors are being surveyed, and immediately this has been done steps will be taken to place the heavy guns in position. The Government have made application to the authorities in charge of the Australian squadron for a man-of-war to be stationed in New Zealand waters. The Hon. the Defence Minister does not consider there is any probability of war breaking out, as the firm stand taken'' by the English Government will, he thinks, deter the Russians from crossing the frontier. The Government are, however taking all the measures in their power to have a proper defence, and it, is probable that should war be declared the first-class militia will be called out.. .
