PuxVGAhehu, November 22. Everything is quiet at Parihaka. The members of the Wellington Engineers, who were detained on duty at the various camp telegraph stations, are released, and left for New Plymouth this morning. All the natives were mustered outside Parihaka this morning, and only those belonging to the place were permitted to re-enter, Five hundred and eighty, of whom two-thirds were women and children, were drafted in, and sixtysix were detained. Sixteen from Parapara also were selected. The houses were being pulled down, all having only four inhabitants coming to the earth. Tohu's meeting house was levelled. At four o'clock over fifty drays and spring carts, three buggies, and one brake were collected outeide the village, besides a quantity of saddles. Titokowaru is still in solitary con"w , finement and irons. ' It is said that Hakaraia and others have returned to Parihaka, and search ■will be made. The Tsranaki Cavalry are again here. The stockade is being pushed on. Mr Bryce leaves on Friday to address his constituents. Some doubts are expressed aa to the ■wisdom of searching all the whares promiscuously. Some well-known friendly natives have been so treated, and the f effect upon them is considered unsatisfactory. Constable Joeiah Oakley has died in the hospital at New Plymouth. He was a compositor on the Evening Post some years ago. The Hauraki, with the Palmerston and Fielding volunteers, was off Rahotu at noon yesterday standing away. These corps should have marched from here to New Plymouth, and rejoined their own corps at Wanganui, instead of having four days extra pay and a passage, and are not there yet. One hundred A.C. leave Parihaka to reinforce Manaia to-morrow.
