LATEST FROM WAIKATO.

The Panic amongst the Settlers. Mr Mackay's view of the matter. CAMBRIDGE. This day. Mr Mackay returned here on Saturdaj evening. The attack upon him at Te Kuiti was planned by eighty Waikatos, four of whom were chosen to commit the murder. Ruru, who actually attacked Mr Mackay, was one of the four. Rewi took Mr Mackay under his own pro tection, and ordered the Ngatimaniapotos to shoot any. Waikato who came near their camp ground. On Saturday night about eleven o'clock signal fires were seen by Mr Mackay and others on Pukekura range and shots were heard in the direction of Walker and Douglass's station. A detachment of Constabulary under Major Clare immediately galloped off, and in about an hour returned and stated that the station had not been attacked as feared, and that they could see nothing of the Maories. Meanwhile a number of out settlers who heard the shots fired came into Cambridge with their families, and stopped in the redoubt all night. At four o'clock on Sunday morning a party of cavalry under Captain Runciman, and a detachment of Constabulary under Major Clare, started and patrolled the country, one party going to Pukekura the other to Mau ngatautari. Tracks of Maories' footmarks, &c, were found by Mr Mackay, who went out with Major Clare's party, and a little boy who was looking for cattle early in the morning was chased by a Maori, who came suddenly upon him out of some ti-tree scrub. Purukutu is said to be out with sixty men. A number of outsettlers have come in, and are staying in Cambridge. Some people say the shots were fired at Mr Walker's cattle ; others say they were part of the Hauhau fanatical ceremony to work themselves up preparatory to an attack. The night has passed over quietly. Mr Mackay believes the three natives (the tracks of whom were seen yesterday) retreated to the ranges, having been disturbed by the cavalry patrols on Saturday night and Sun day morning. He is of opinion that they came to see whether the settlers were on the alert or unguarded. There is no reason at present to anticipate further annoyance from them. We have received the following telegram from Wellington :—"Mr Mackay, in a tele gram ■to the Government, advises that a commanding position be taken up, and that the Government take steps to guard fords and bridges, and to open a telegraph station at Te Awamutu in a few days. The Govern ment will be watchful until Rewi's reply to Mr Mackay's demand that the murderers shall be given up has been received. Mr Mackay was coming to Auckland, but the Government telegraphed to him to remain in the Waikato for the present."

MURDER AT THE KAWAU.

Intelligence of what appears to have been a brutal and wilful murder at the Kawau reached town yesterday. The full particulars of the occurrence are not yet known, but Mr H. Turton, J.P., in company with Inspector Broham and Dr Nicholson, left for the island last night to investigate the matter and hold an inquest on the body. The facts, as at present known, are these :—A man named Peter Bleuers had, in conjunction with another biishman whose name is not known, taken a contract for felling a section of bush for Sir George Grey. The men had some dispute regarding the amount of work which Bluers did, and they divided the bush into two equal parts, in order that they might do their fair shares. They were said to be on very unfriendly terms in consequence of the disagreement which arose in carrying out the contract. On Monday last the two men took breakfast together, and went out to work, but at night Bluers did not return, and his mate stated in answer to in quiries that the missing man had gone mad. This statement was denied by a man who had seen Bluers during the day, and who said that he then showed no indications of insanity. Upon learning that the man was missing, Sir George Grey caused a search to be instituted, and all the people residing on the island were employed in looking for the missing man. After several days' search his body was discovered lying in a creek, with his legs tied together at the ankles, and his arms tied across his chest. There was also a wound over the left eye. The men who found the body believe it was impossible for deceased to have tied his own arms in the position they were placed in. The body was carried into the village and deposited in a shed, and Sir George Grey secured the use of a boat belonging to Mr N. Ireland, the contractor for the Flat Rock beacon, and despatched it to town with instructions to report the matter to the police. No one has been arrested for the crime pending the investigation which -will be held to-day ; but there appears to be no reason to doubt that the unfortunate man met with foul play. The community at Kawau is so small that there will be little difficulty, we should think, in fastening the guilt upon the right parties.
