ORANGEMEN'S CELEBRATION. July 12. The Orangemen celebrated their anniversary to-day, with a procession, soiree, and ball to-night; about 300 took part in the demonstration. The steamer Hauraki has arrived, after paying her first visit to the Mokau River. The steamer entered the river with ease. The navigation is superior to that of the Waitara, and the settlers, on getting into the boat, were rowed up to the Naii.ve settlement. The coming of the Pakehas was expected, and a large concourse of Natives had assembled to meet them. Instead of offering any opposition, the Natives vied with each other in welcoming the strangers. They helped to run the boat in, and exhibited every demonstration of joy at the news of their arrival. They told the captain of the steamer that the Mokau was henceforth open to thein for ever.
