WANGANUI.
His honor the Superintendent arrived last night from Piperiki bringing with him 26 prisoners, .21 of whom were men, and among them 9 wounded. The latter were taken to the hospital and the other twelve to the barracks, while the women and children wore allowed to go. Pehi demanded the prisoners, but his Honor refused to deliver them. He has declared himself again a Kingite. There are some interesting particulars regarding the late engagement brought down, which we must defer giving till next publication. His honor went out to day to Pakaraka, Waitotara, where some Ngatiruanuis and Taranakis were to meet with Rio. He was accompanied by 30 jCavalry Volunteers and intended to warn the rebels off the Waitotara Block. At Pa Karako no rebels appeared, so the party had a fruitless ride of 40 miles. They returned at 6 p.m. An alarm was given in the afternoon that they had been attacked by Maories, and the first Company of Militia were called out and remained under arms
above two hours, ready to march, if necessary, to their assistance.
