OHINEMURI.
TE HIRA REMAINS OBDURATE. [JFBOMTHE "THAMES ADVEETISEB's" COBEESPONDENT.]
April 2S, 1871. The little steam launch Fairy rather astonished the Hauhau and aukati mob this afternoon by passing the recognised length steamers are generally allowed to go. She was gallantly piloted past every obstacle, and against the shouts and yells of Mere Kuru and her followers. The gentleman in charge, who is well known and respected by the natives' here, being heedless of the noise made, pushed up to the head of the navigation, the Paeroa. Her Highness and a few other old women made all haste to enter a protest against the innovation. Mr. Wood being present, lam happy to state, arranged the matter satisfactorily, so that should the little Fairy again attempt to run the blockade, she will probably be allowed to pass scatheless.
