WAIROA.
latest News.—Refusal of the Native Contingent to go to the Front. Despatches, dated Sunday, May 9, were received yesterday afternoon from Major Herrick. His force had not been able to commence their march for Waikarimoana, in consequence of the refusal of the Native Contingent to go to the Front. Their excuse was that they would suffer much in that high altitude from exposure to cold, snow, and I'iiin; and they purposed to remain at the township of Clyde to garrison it. Major Herrick had been within 8 miles of Waikarimoana on Saturday last, and found that there would be no rliinculty in getting a good pack road. The European force was employed in making a practicable sledge road from the termination of the canoe transport to the Lake, and would advance rapidly now on Onepotu (at the outlet), where a post would be established that would occupy a commanding position.
