CAPTURE OF KEREORA.-HIS ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Wfi gave recently a sketch of the progress of the search after Te Kool.i and his fellow rebels up to the 4th instnnt, tbe dale a' which Oapt. porter left for Wellington. Kopata, as it, will be remembered, wms then continuing Ins search in the neighbourhood of Huatahnna. The eet.ernl impression was that Te Kooti and Kereona were in the hftii'ls ol an Uuwera chief, named Keivru. This man bad always kept 'aloof from the Government, though at the same time he had never, so far :is we arc aware, been engaged in actual hostilities with them. He is i-aid to have expressed himself lona ago to the effect that he would have. nothing to do with them, neither would he deceive" them by professing friendship which he did not feel. The lapss of time, and the change in the circumstances of the case, however, in the end appear to hare altered hi 3 views. A f-.w weeks ago, ac enrdingiy, be presented himself to Ropata, and desired through him to represent to the Government his willingness to submit Ropafa immediately taxed him with hrr boring the two prinoipul'rebels Kerern replied in the enigmatical, suggestive manner charac teristic of his race, " Well, you tire sending your kokiris (search parti*) through ihe bush in all directions, why do you not send one down to the track of uiv whare ? ' ITns im-ant either "it you find no one there, you will^e tbe injustice of your accusation;" or, "if you find the man you are looking for there, lh..t will satisfy you a-* to the b-na fiiv, ohnracfer of my repentance. Eopala fc>olc the hint—using at the same time nil due precaution against treachery. He sum moned TeWbiu (till lately »n arrant rebel) before him, and said to him, " Here is v chance for you to wash out your past crimes. Lead thi» Jcohiri to Keren's kainga, at Mauu •warua, and catch Te Kooti and Karei-pa." At the same time he sent other kokiris in the pime direction, which migblbe made available fcl case of need. Immediately that Te Whin's party reached Manawaiua, they commenced to search the ■whares there. They were not long in finding the one where Kereopa was hiding As soon as he s»w them be rushed out, and to'.k to Ids heels with nil speed. Three men started in pur suit of him, among whom was Te Whiu himself, who also w»s suc-ces<ful in catching him. After a short struggle, in which both combatant-* fell, the two JS'galiporous came to their comrades'" assistance, and the prisoner was secured. JCereru, it is said, is now de sirous of going to Wellington to give his allegiance at head-quarters. He is a relation of KereopaV, and now that the latter has bern taken, he considers that the last tie whiih connected him with the rebels has been dissolved. This circumstance augurs well ior the ultimate capture of Te Kooti. What has befallen the prisoner since his capture is probably known by this time to a lartie proportion of our readers. lie was brought down to the Wairoi in charge of Kopata and the Ngaliporous. Thither U>e s.s. Wapior from th's port n:is sent on Satur day night la-t, with th" view of brinj;inj» him onto Napier to be lodged i:i the Napier gaol. The ?tearner a:ri id in thu Iron Pot on her return trip, i bout 10 p.m. on Sunday night. The prisoner was loluiiuil on board till the next morning about-9 a.m., he was brought on sh,-re by Kopata and a det.chm^nt of Nugtiporous', under whose escort, he was conducted as far as the rower of the Coote road, where he was gi^en over to the police and handcuffed. Theybrjujht him on to the gaol. On coming inside tlfe door of the gaol yard the police were about, to hand him uver to the turnkeys. '1 he prisoner, on perceiving that the latter functionaries in tended to search him, made si sti-p forward, und gave his blanket a shake. 'J he shake mused a raz^r to drop on; of it on to the pavement. With dexterity, which was quite marvellous, considering the fact that he was veuri-ig handcuffs, he pic' ed it up aud drew k across his tin oaf, giving himself a g.ishfiom which the blood spurted out copiously. One of the turnkey's immediately on perceiving the prisoner's intention, seized him down, too late, however, to prevent him. from inflicting the wound on himself. Bva. Spencer, Hifcliings, and Euesell were speedily in attendance. The wound was sewed up and bandaged, and t>y the last accounts bis re covery was considered probable. —Hawkes Bay Herald, Nov. 28.
