Telegraphic Intelligence.
From Greville & Co.'s Telegram Company (Renter's Agents.) TARANAKI. Saturday, Nov. 2Q. Ihaia, who went to Waikato, has not yet returned, but he reports that everything is peacefully inclined. The natives are going to hold a number of meetings, when the road question will be discussed. Ihaia says the Waikato natives are very favorable to roads being made. He passed through Mokau, and the natives there want to see Mr Parris. The banks of the Mokau river, Ihaia says, are lined with coal. The murderers of the Rev. Mr Whiteley are looked upon by the natives as outcasts, and no communication is held with them. The Mokau natives are in favor of making terms for intercourse with the Europeans. The Government boating service is to be put up and sold by auction; the boatmen are likely to be the purchasers. This will end all dispute between the Government and them. Mr Parris has left town for Oro, to start the natives at road-making again.
The root crops have been destroyed liy slugs ; the potato crop is thriving well. ' We have had stormy weather lately, with heavy rain. Arrived—Emma Jane from Newcastle, N.S.W.
