The Native settlement wore a very animated appearance this morning. The Southern tribes advanced from their ec campment in holiday attire, headed by a flag made in Wanganui, with the figure of Tawhaio on. They were received by Tawhaic, Bsw ; , Ahaura, Minihiri, Te Whearo and other ohiefs. The usual tangi songs of welcome followed, but contained nothing of note beyond Whearo's concluding sentences, " Come to Fee us, sinking, sinking, sinking," in allusion to the alteration of tribes and land. Puku, of Nga'imaniapoto, said those tribes who had lost their lands should settle at Whatawhata, and not go back. Naukawa, of Otaki, said he could not agree with the words of Puku, and chaffed him as not being a chief. Other songs wore sung. Bewi and Tawhaio led songs of welcome, but nothing of importance transpired. The real speeoh-making will not begin till to-morrow. NEW PLYMOUTH, May 11.
