New Plymouth, September 22. The steamer Tui was floated off the bank at "Wailara last night. Late telegrams to the Herald from Pungareha say that the Natives have gone down to fence in very large numbers, the parties being from 350 to 400 strong. They maintained the fence without hindrance. Although within sight of the Constabulary camp, the Constabulary refrain from interfering with the Natives, until the Native Minister arrives.
Tohu had a meeting on Sunday night, and delivered a long speech to Natives. He told them to be careful and not misunderstand what Te Whiti had told them. They were merely to resist the Constabulary at the fences, and they were on no account to use tire-arms, until they were fired on by the Constabulary. If the Constabulary tried to pull down the fences they were to resist, and if they attempted to take any Native prisoners, they were to prevent it. If blows were struck they were to return blows ; but on no account were they to shoot unless they were fired upon. A few Natives left Parihaka on Sunday, but returned again last night, having sold their horses, ploughs, etc., at a great sacrifice to raise money.
