NEW ZEALAND.

The barque Cecilia, Captain Pearce, with a full cargo of
contract Kauri spars, and a small quantity of copper ore,
arrived at Plymouth on the 13th inst., from Auckland, New
Zealand. The native chief lleki, who :formerly disturbed
the northern colony, continues quiet, and appears likely to
remain so. In the south the vigorous measures of Governor
Grey have completely suppressed the rebellious efforts of
Ranghieta, whose brother was taken prisoner in Cook's
Straits, and has been executed, after an investigation which
proved his participation in the late disturbances on the river
Hutt. The course pursued by the new colonial Government
at Wellington gives entire satisfaction.
Her Majesty's brig Childers, 12, Commander John C. Pit-
man, arrived at Auckland from the Cape of Good Hope and
Hobart-town on the 18th of October. Her Majesty's frigate
Castor, 36, Captain Graham, arrived the same day from
Sydney. Her Majesty's steam frigate Driver, Captain Cour-
tenay 0. Hayes, was signalled outside the harbour on the
20th, probably from Wellington. Her Majesty's frigate Cal-
liope. 26, Captain Edward Stanley, was at Wellington. The
Cecilia left on the 19th of October, and brings passengers
Captain Howett and lady, of the barque Mary Katherine,
stranded on the river Kaiapara, and Mr. Nattrass, from Nel-
son. The ship Haidee, Capt. Marshall, loading with spars,
was to sail for England direct on the Ist of November; and
the Madras, Captain Hillbery, via Valparaiso, on the 27th
of October.
