Having' traushipped provisions and' stores to tho Omahu the. Stella left: for Pitt's Island on the tenth; and arrived on the, same day and made a search for smuggled Q[oods supposed to be: landed by the' Alaska (whaler). "A quantity of:tobacco-aud spirits 'wero seized thero, ,Huntj ;vm whose posseßsioh they WereV was taken to Chatham ; Islands, 'and . dialed, with having smuggled goods in his- possession, and a pbnajfy.of jBIOO was inflicted, by the Resident Magistrate. ; . ..'.-., .-■;; 1 AltKoiicfh the weathor was unfavorable, the farewell tea and ogg banquet at tWSalvation' Army barracks last night was"' a great success, .Thenew departure, in the spread, yiz., the'providing -.of eggs (which, from bur special reporteYi-pbint of view,' were numberless and gbod),.ivas evidently an attraction.

The building by this time .was .crowded. Dr. Gilbert gave a very interesting lecture on the physiognomy of intemperance,' and was frequently applauded. He stated that it wsb a mistaken idea of hundreds of people that nil plant food was possessed of a percentage 1 of alcohol. Alcohol was manufactured alone of properties contained in certain plant food, He also' alluded in emphatic terms to the breaking of the obligation by temperance men, who indulged in their " soft drinks," as these beverages contained a large amount of alcohol, After an attentive address of about two hours, Dr Gilbert bade farewell to his many Mastorton acquaintances and left the platform. At the conclusion, Captain Robinson, announced that Miss Brownlie, of the Wellington Female Resoue Home, would be present at the Barracks to-night and all day Sunday. A coffee supper will be held to-night, when an effort will be made to demolish'the "loavesand fishes" that :were gathered after the tea last night, Mr Maunsell, the officer in -, charge, reports with respect to the Wairarapa Natives:-—The sooial Btate of tho Maoriß ib .improving, aiid good dwellings are taking the.place of the Maori whare. At the principal villages, Te Ore Ore, near Masterton, and Papawai, near Greytown North, very stood houses' have been built—at Papawai especially—timber being purchased from sawmillers with the proceeds of the sale of totara and other timber, of which large quantities abound. The houses have been erected by "themselves in a Tory,creditable manner. A carved house is now in course of construo • tion by a party of the Mgatiporou, from near Gißbome. The carvings have occupied about six years in execution, aud aro of a most elaborate kind. . The building will, it is believed, eclipse any similar one in the'colony. Much money ha's.:been wastod over, this, houße. It cannot bo said that the natives are less; indolent,- They look to rents and the sale of whatever can be conveniently disposed of to Bupply temporary wants; cultivation and honest occupation is neglectod._ Their improvident habits often result in monetary.diffioultieß, and compel thorn to raiße money on crops and timber to satisfy the claims of creditors. What they will do when thoy have nothing to sell it is difficult to conjecture, Unless they part with land. This at present they are most roluctant to do. However, in most cases their lands are 'restricted from sale;' but when they are free to -sell they prefer to go to gaol'when pressed-by creditors rather than do so, yet at the last moment escape imprisonment by taking the most extraordinary means to obtain the money. -
