WAVERLEY.

(From our own Correspondent.) The effects of “ Native difficulties ” aro making themselves apparent at Waverley as at other places, business of every sort being decidedly dull, but as. at Hawera, (according to the Herald's‘correspondent) uot-snspeuded, nor is it I hope likely to be. The Volunteers were pleased last night to see a notice to the effect that arms a - e todje served out at the police barracks to-morrow (Wednesday), at 2 o’clock. I had the pleasure of a drive to Waitotara, yesterday, in a buggy turned out by Mr McLeod, and built to the order of Mr Winchcomb. The woods used are hickory, ash, and bass, and the undercarriage is_fixcd in one piece. The wood, leather, and iron work was all manufactured at Wa?erley,as also' the harness, and I am not : sifft> tIJSt the was not bred here. Altogether the turn out is most Mr McLeod has received an order for another “ Eureka,” to be a fac simile of Mr Winchomb’s.

There were a considerable number of natives at Waitotara yesterday (among others our friend Koreopa), who appeared to be enjoying themselves, and were assuring white people that the Pakeha was kapai, and “ the fight ” was no good. People who have had some experience take these assurances for what they arc worth.
