NEWS FROM TAUPO.
On Friday evening last, Lieut. St. George and Mr Spencer, who had been despatched to Taupo by His Honor the Superintendent to ascertain the movements of the Hau-haus in and about that district, returned to town. The report they bring is, to all appearance, of a very satisfactory nature. They were received with great hospitality by the Taupo natives, who expressed their gratification at the Europeans again venturing amongst them, and their determination, should their services be .required, which they thiuk will not be the case, to do all in their power to assist the Pakehas. We trust the Taupo natives are sincere in their desire to continue on peaceable terms with the colonists; hut really we have seen and heard so much during recent years of Maori promises—which, as a race, they are much more ready to make than to fulfil—that our readers must pardon us if we cannot place implicit confidence in their protestations of loyalty.
