TAURANGA.
Monday, April 10. The Lord Ashley arrived yesterday, and left again for the South. The natives are gathering in great force yc the Thames.
A meeting is to be held at Ohinemuri to discuss the overland mail service. Mr McLean is urging the native chiefs throughout the Thames to be present, 'Te Hira still remains obstinate, probably yielding to tribal entreaties. After this the tribe proceed to Te Aroha to divide the land amongst the hapus according to their respective interests. The Waikato tribes threaten the Thames nathes with violence it" the survey is proceeded with. A collision is anticipated. The renewal of the mail service has been assented to, —the friendly natives undertaking to convey the mail from the Thames to Katikati, and Warbrick conveying it from Katikati to Tauranga. It is uncertain when the service will re-commence. Mr Mackay, junioi*, has been charged by Mr M'Leau with encouraging Te Hira to thwart the Government in their objects. Mr Mackay replies through the press, denying the charges. Mr M-Lean is shortly expected here. The Pirirakau natives, hitherto hostile, seem disposed to surrender.
