WANGANUI.
The Overland Mail to Taranaki. —Rumours were afloat some weeks ago, that the conveyance of this mail was to be resumed ; but it appears that the Ngatiruanui are still opposed to its being allowed to pass. The Waikatos are divided on the question, and it cannot bo settled in our favour until they give the command to their allies to open the communication. It would seem that as yet the “ Noes” have it, on the ground that the road was shut during the war, and that the circumstances remaining still the same, no change is wanted.
, Tiie Natives.—A large number of Ngatiruanuis visited Aramaho a week or two since for the purpose of asisting at a tanji over the body of Nahono, who was killed some time ago by a fall from his horse. No doubt they discussed" political matters, but with what if any residts has not yet transpired. About 150 came, some of whom" remain in the neighbourhood. Those who returned made considerable purchases of tobacco blankets &c., from our storekeepers before they left. They seemed a good deal disheartened by the report that that the Waikato natives were peaceably inclined.
