WANGANUI.
The Katherine Johnstone arrived yesterday morning from Wanganui, which place she left on Wednesday. The Rev. R. Taylor was a passenger, bringing with him Iwikau the Taupo chief (brother of the late Te Heu Heu, whose name he has assumed) and his wife. He came for the purpose of seeing the Governor, and professes to be peaceably disposed. The natives at Wanganui are generally quiet, those on the river are growing wheat, and will have this season from thirty to fifty acres in cultivation, and the Waitorara natives will also have a considerable quantity of wheat this year. Corn mills are very much in request, and would beeagerly purchased bythem. George King, Mawae, and the other Wangauui chiefs have written to the Governor begging that the land question may be speedily settled.
