In reference to the destruction of beacons at Kawhia, Butler, of the -alive Office, who has been sent to euquire into the matter, reports that on his arrival there in. the Binemoa on Tuesday,"-he r found that the beacons, recently greeted by Captain Fairchild, had been broken and taken to the beach opposite the township. They were considerably damaged, and will take some time to repair. Bucler ascertained that one of the two chiefs who have beeu concerned in the dostruoi ion of the beacons had gone to Whatiwlml'boe with Tasvhaio, the ' ative "King.j' The other was slill at Kawhia. and when called upon by Butler to assist at once in repairing and re-ereccing the beacon, answered that he could not do so without instructions from Tawhaio. These two chiefs are the same who pulled up a number of pegs on the road to Kawhia some time ago. It is believed that in both ; cases they acted at the instance of Tawhaio, and some of his advisers belonging to the Waikato tribe. According to the latest information received from Bu.'ler the beacons had not been reerected. Butler is now on his way to Wellington in the Hinemoa.
