TELEGRAPH BOYS.

(To the Editor of the Evenino Star.) Sir,—l was sorry to read in your issue a few days since areport that some of the messengers in the Telegraph Department were to be dis missed because they were " faulty, negligent, and unruly." Considerable surprise and indignation was expressed on the Exchange this morning when it became known that some of the messengers who have been uniformly civil and attentive were to be made "the scapegoats" for the neglect of others. The consequence of dismissal will be to injure the reputation of the boys. It was rumoured the some members of the Stock Exchange were about to wait on Mr Lemon to represent the injustice of such an act. — I am, yours &c, Fair Play.

That the City Council will contribute half the cost of forming Wynyard-street from Grafton road to Domain-3treet, and that the earth required for the formation of Victoria-street will be supplied by the Improvement Com missioners.

SPECIAL UNPUBLISHED TELACRAMS TO THE "EVENING STAR."

THE MAIL STEAMERS.

IHILO IHILO,

April 1

The ketch Surprise arrived here this morn ing for water and provisions. Captain Doum reports having left the Southern Islands for Guam with a full cargo of railleur on the 4th of the present month. On Saturday, the 14th, he saw two large steamers bearing down upon him. These proved to be the mail steamers Nebraska and Dacotah. Captain Hingullsell came on board the ketch and offered a good sum to Captain Doum if he would convey the passen gers from the Nebraska to Auckland ; to which Captain Doum consented. For several days very severe weather was encoun tered by the schooner, and the vessel being short of water has put in here for a fresh supply. It appears that the Dacotah met the Nebrasca about half way between Honolulu and Auckland, and Captain Hingullsell (a very smart Yankee) having informed Captain Arding that it was the intention of the New Zealand Government to seize the Nebraska on arrival, the latter determined to return to California. For tunately the ketch was met with two days afterwards, otherwise the passengers would have been compelled to have returned, and reached New Zealand via the Cape, by which route the cargo will be sent.

WAIAU.

This day. The Moa has been caught by a party of Maoris, after a desperate struggle. On« native, who was endeavouring to hold its leg while the others tied it, was thrown to a distance of twenty-five yards. The natives at first endeavoured to overtake the bird on horseback, but found it left them far behind. They then tracked it to its lair, which was found to be a greenstone cave on the west side of the Waiau, where the capture was made. There were two eggs in the cave, each of which weighed nearly ten pounds. The captors intend to exhibit the bird throughout the colony. They have taken out several hundredweight of greenstone, which is to be forwarded to Mr Lewisson of Auckland, to cut, there being no establishment here for executing this class of work. [We believe that Mr Perkins, of the Occidental Hotel, has tele graphed to purchase one of the eggs to exhibit alongside the kiwi's.]
