ALKXASnRA, this day.-Mr F. Kdjfe ,,mbo Government surveyor, just ex plored' a li»e of road between here and Kawhiu.

Kihikihi, this tiny.—Tho Government surveyors, MrCWn'o party, have arrived hero and look like business. They are evidently preparing for tho interior to com mence the boundary survey for the Sgatimanapoto. It is expected some ob gtruotion will be oxperienced when if the chiefs concerned are unable to settle the obstructionists, Mr Bryoe will protect the survey with Constabulary. This doubtless Eooanti for his having kept tho Constabu lary in winter quarters up to the present.

Assault on the Race-course.

THAMES, tins day.—The Thames Police Court was crowded to excess this morning, when a charge wab preferred against J. b. Maaon, a Borough official, of assaulting a voiinc man named Wright at I'arawai race- II? with a ridin ? whip. Mason appeared in Court with a pair of black eyes and dis figured countenance. He applied for an adjournment of the case to enable lain to orocure evidence, and tho magistrate ac ceded to tho application, appointing Thurs day next, as tho day for hoaring. The de fendant admits the striking but Intenda calluig witnesses to prove provocation.
