[from a correspondent.] PUNGAREHU, November 11.

It was understood that Mr Bryce was to leave hero for Parihaka yesterday morning at five o’clock, so several correspondents made it their duty to be there, only to find that nothing was to be done so early. The Minister arrived at 7 a.m., and orders were issued for 100 of the Wanganui rifles from Rahotn to march to Manaia.a post|about eight miles from Normanby, and in the neighborhood of Titokowarn’s people. They left for Opnnako at 2 p.m, yesterday, and leave there at eight o’clock this morning for a twenty mile walk. The Wellington navals still remain at Rshotu, and are jolly and in good order. Captain C. Johnson and Dr. Diver left yesterday for Wellington on leave. At ten o’clock Air Hnrsthonae and Mr Sutler entered Parihaka, and the former read aloud the names of the chiefs who it was intended to arrest. No resistance was offered, but some of those wanted conld not be found. It is decided that all prisoners shall go to New Plymouth. In the afternoon a working party of one hundred of the Armed Constabulary, with a covering party of fifty Armed Constabulary, marched out to commence a road. Major Tuke commanded, with Captains Northcroft and Morrison under him. Colonel Roberts, accompanied by Mr Wilson and Mr Hursthouse, C.E., selected a line for the new road, and this was quickly laid out by the surveyors. During this time it rained heavily, so that the men had but a wet time of it. The new road runs east from Parihaka to Stratford, and | will doubtless necessitate the demolition of some whares on its way to the main line. The Native difficulty seems little altered. Certainly a few prisoners have been taken, but I learn on good authority that, with the exception of two, the prisoners are not representative men. Tnnioki, one of "them, if he Las any ancestral rights at all, has a claim upon Parihaka. Of those who have left of their own wish, Wi Parata took five to Waikanae, and of the eleven that went with Tahana there were four women and three children. Yesterday afternoon a girl, apparently a European, dropped two pieces of paper over the fenoe close to the camp. A sergeant of the Waimea Rifles picked them up, and on reading one found that (the writer was tired of living with the Maoris, and feared being taken back into the bush with them. She asked the finder to have the note delivered to her mother, a European. The first note was shown to Major Pitt, who laid it before Colonel Roberta. The girl will bo taken away from the Natives this morning. There is a strict order against any visitors seeing Te Whiti, even his relations being forbidden admittance to him. _ The Hon. Pihama’s daughter committed suicide at Oeo, twenty-five miles from here, because Pibama would not allow her to return to Parihaka.
