The Marlborough Press. FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1860.
We have been favoured with information from Nelson to the following effect:— The Airedale arrived in Nelson on Sunday last from the North, bringing.news of a disturbance amongst the natives at Taranaki. The oat-settlors had all gono into town, for mutual protection, and on their road some of them were shot at Also that orders had been sent, by the Airedale, for a supply of ammunition from Nelson. This account, with the addition that ten
Maories have been killed, has also reached its from Wellington. The above require confirmation, though yrc have no reason to doubt the outbreak, for, as our readers may remember, a quotation we made only a week or two ago of Taranaki news, showed the natives threatening that they would not allow the Waitcra, lately purchased by Government, to be occupied by the settlers. The present warfare may or may not have arisen from matters in the Waitera, but the seditious and threatening language used on the transfer of the laud there only showed, we fear, the dangerous state of the native mind.
