NEW ZEALAND.—We have received Wellington
papers to the 15th of September. The only items of interest
are the following :
The schooner Governor Grey, Saylor, master, arrived in port on
Monday, Dons Wanganui. The rebels had not made their appear-
, and things remained in stair go,. Dr. Wilson had proceeded
overland to Taranaki, and Mr. Wilke, together with some other set-
tlers, contemplated making that settlement their place of abode.
Capt. lienderron, HA., and Lieut. Colllnnin, LH, had started to
walk to New Plymouth. Their object wee not known, but was sur-
mised to be either fur the purpose of selecting • site for a stockade, or
else to plan out a village fur a corps of the Feruilbles. We have every
roma to believe that a large body of pensioner. will be located at
Taranaki.
