ALEXANDRA.

Monday. We wore glad to see that Mr Roche has determined to go to the poll, and not be made a tool of by the Quean-street raction. It had beea industriously circulated he had retired from the contest but his advertisement has set our mind** at rest on this matter. Mr Roche has many friends m thia district who woul>; not like to have been thrown over. The news of the Ohiuemuri oufcrag reached Kopm yesfcerda", and was universally* condemned and deplored. The perpetrators w.li certainly nob meet with the sympathy of the King party i_: this direction, as tney look uoon it as a direct violation of the law laid down by Tawhiao at the lafce meeting that thenwa? to be no more ti^hbng. They «• appear to think ib will "give them gea trouble, should th-s* men seek snelc here as will most probably De the cane. We loßt another of cur old resideuu last week m the person of Mr Hope whe has with his wife aud famiiy gone t> reside at the Thames. The great iubere .1 Mr tfo'pe invariably took m all our l-.»c matters and his obliging dispos tion ha. endeared him to m »uy friends wh sincerely regret his departure and wi-b him well. — Correspondent.
