In m company wish Mr. Hohe Hekb, M.H.R., I went down' the valley this morning, to the Waima Native settlemeat, where about two hundred natives, including women and chilwere assembled. Hone Heke, who had been with the Maoris, all the previous night, adraised them to submit to the law. Hone jTuia spoke, saying that he was willing now to submit to the law, to bring his guns in and givo ttieaa up as a sign of peace. ' He wished at first that the friendly chiefs should take the guns in, but Heke said no. The Maoris then went to- get their weapons out of the large meeting house, and came up in a body to the camp of the troops at noon, when Toia and the others gave themselves up. . *
