Reported Capture of Purukutu. The Kingites Declare they will Protect Him. ALEXANDRA. This day. Mr Mackay, who in indefatigable, is ex pected at the Ford redoubt to-day, accom panied by Te Wheora. Mr Macfarlane's friends are losing no time here in their canvassing for the Superin tendency. Paora Tnhaere left for Te Kuiti yester day. Honana had not arrived at Alexandra ■when Paul left. He had been delayed by bad weather, but was to meet Paul on the road and conduct him to Te Kuiti. The Kingites are quiet, taking no steps whatever in consequence of the defensive operations of the Pakehas. The Kopu natives (where R,ewi has com menced to cultivate) have sent to Auckland for ploughs to facilitate their cultivating operations. It was reported here to-day that Purukutu was caught at Cambridge last night. This is not true. Purukutu is at Te Kuiti. The Kingites declare that if Mr Mackay sends his soldiers to arrest him there they will all be Purukutu's men. Seven canoe loads of produce have come, down since yesterday.

WELLINGTON.

This day.

At the Appeal Court judgments were given in the cases Regina v. Ah Touch, of Dun 'edin; and Regina v. He uneasy, of Christ church. In both cases the judgments of the i lower Courts were confirmed. Jir"i The contractor for the New South Wales service is Hezekiah Hall. His sureties are, two large American tobacco planters, who recently established branches in Sydney, for, the sum of £10,000. There are no boats ready. The arrangement leaves it open for Sydney to withdraw at any time without pecuniary liability. The contract proposed a Jour-weekly service between Sydney and San Francisco, viaKandavu (Fiji) and Hono lulu, with the option of a connecting link between Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington; Auokland, and Kandavu, the [service to be performed by first-clasß vessels, to be ten Mots per hour. The subsidy to be £48,000 per annum for the main service, Jand £12,000 lor the New Zealand branch line. In the •▼•nt of a twelve-knot service being desired, the subsidy to be £80,000. Mr Samuel submitted the proposals to the New Zealand Government, the condition being that New Zealand shall agree to pay her contribution for a ten knot service of £25,000, New South Wales undertaking to pay the balance. Mr Vogel replied that the Cabinet, after considering Mr Samuels' proposals, could not accept them, remarking in his memorandum that New Zealand had not been consulted before the contract was entered into, and her interests were quite unprotected under it. That no adequate provisions were made regarding the character of the vessels for the branch service, for their ■peed, or for the penalties "for delay; nor for the detention of the main steamer should the branch steamer fail to arrive at Kandavu in time for passage of mail agent; that the time between' London and Auckland Was longer than under Webb's contract; that, the contractor was not a ship-owner, and there was no sufficient security as a guarantee that the service would be efficiently carried out; that the main boats being small New Zealand would have to submit to in ferior accommodation, and transhipping _at Kandavu would be inconvenient. In brief, the proposal was that New Zealand should be« four - twelfths of the cost of the •ervioe in contraota for which its nteresta aro wholly negleoted. lo

lemedy these defects a new contract would haY& to be framed, and if, an gathered from Mr Samuels, he on arrival in England, ia prepared to re-model the contract, Mr Russell, who is especially charged with carrying out the views of the Government on the Californian service, will confer with him, and if he has not already made other arrangements will, no doubt, be able to propose terras for a joint service, to be undertaken by both colonies, on fair'and satisfactory terms for both.

COLONISTS' PROTECTION LEAGUE.

The usualmeeting of the Colonists' Protec tion League was held this afternoon, in the large meeting room of the British hotel. Albyn Martin, Esq.., (in the chair). Present: Messrs S. Kempthorne, secretary, Every McLean, J. Wplrnsley, J. Woodward, Bent, H. S. Andrews, Woolfield.

Some conversation took place with refer ence to Mr Chamberlain's paper, the com mitte having referred the papers back to Mr Chaiobei-lain for his revision.-

Tho Trfeasu.'er reported that the balance in hftnd remained at £2 2s. He recommended to the meeting that an annual report be drawn up

The matter was deferred until next meet ing.

The Secretary stated that it would be advisable for the Society to associate with the Melbourne Agricultural Society.

Mr Andrews stated that he had received a letter from the Secretary announcing the meeting, and mentioning that business of importance would be discussed. He would like to know what that business was. He understood it referred to the manufacture of sugar from beetroot.

The Chairman said that unfortunately the gentleman who was to bring the motion forward had not put in. an appearance. Mr Andrews said that in his absence it might be well for the meeting for want of other matter to consider to congratulate themselves on the progress that had been made in the erection of the Market-house; considering that it was so£near completion. Mr Bent asked who was the gentleman whose absence was so lamented.

The Chairman was unable to answer the question. The conversation then turned on sugar, molasses, spirits, distilleries, beetroot, &c. The Secretary expressed regret that the gentleman who was expected to read a paper on beet-root sugar was absent. Mr Andrews assured the Secretary that the gentlemen present all felt similar regret, and asked if there was any likelihood' that the party referred to had been bought orer by tho importers of sugar. The Secretary said that no official com munication had been made that he would be present. He had received the information from the Chairman.

The Chairman said he had merely heard a rumour that he would be here.

Mr Andrews : Ahem !

Mr Woodward moved that the Secretary be empowered to place himself in communica tion with the protective organization of Vic toria, with a view to obtain information to wards the furtherance of protection. The motion was seconded and carr«d. After some matters of minor importance had been discussed the meeting separated.
