WANGANUI.
The Ahuriri arrived in the Manukau yesterday evening, but she brings no papers. We have received, a report that Pipiriki, an important native post on the Wanganui river, about sixty miles from town, and which the town had decided to' occupy, had been inves thed, and that some of the natives had surrendered, while others had made their escape. The expedition which started for this purpose consisted of bushranger and military settlers, and 100 friendly natives who had been sworn into the Wanganui Militia to act as bushrangers. We may say that the Wanganui Chronicle -of the Ist instant says that seventeen of these natives came down and took the oath of allegiance; and that from inquiries we have made, the report of the Pipiriki affair is said to be a hoax. We give both statement, leaving our readers to judge. —2). S. Crons.
