LATEST NATIVE INTELLIGENCE.

New Plymouth, July 9.

There is nothing fresh in native news to report, and there will be nothing stirring in these matters till Te Whiti’s Parihaki meeting on the 18th instant. Heniki, a Maori, was charged at the police court this morning, on the information of a Parihaka Native, with stealing a horse from Parihaka, the property of Renata. The case was remanded till Saturday- for the arrival of witnesses, the rivers being high.

An armed constable at the front ■writes to a friend in Wellington: —“ One of the batch of Maoris brought down on the Gth instant told me there would be no'more ploughing till the 18th inst. Then Te Whiti himself would hold the plough. July 10. Ta Sana has called a meeting of natives to be held at Mangatui, at which the conduct of Te Whiti is to be discussed, and the opinions of the natives taken as to whether they will go and fetch Te Whiti and Tolma, and bring them in as prisoners to hand them over to the Government.

Auckland, July 9,

A loafing pakeha-Maori at Alexandra, whose endeavors to encourage the Kingites to support Te Whiti have been reported to|the Government, has circulated a statement that the meeting among the Kingites re Taranaki affairs was not held. This is false. The meeting was he'd, and the report which was published on the authority of a special messenger from Tawhiao, was absolutely true. On enquiry tc-day, it is learned that the Government agent at Waikato was aware of the meeting, and telegraphed an official report to the Government.

Wellington, July 10

Twenty-nine more Maori prisoners were brought down by the s.s. Patea this morn ing, making a total of 99. Of the number inspected by Mr Mackay yesterday 26 were on our side in the previous native troubles, and only 26 were rebels. They are a much more turbulent lot than those previously brought here. The principal man amongst them is W. Hakswari, who to-day refused to assist in sweeping out the room, or to allow any of his people to do so. As he yraa insolent, he was ordered off to the guard room by Mr Mackay, who was present. The natives who remained still refused to obey orders, and raised the cry of “ Down with (ho pakehas,” when Mr Mackay sent for the guards, who came in with fixed bayonets, and marched the whole of the natives off to their cells. Hakawari is confined by-himself, and will be brought before the Visiting Justice tomorrow. The whole lot will be strictly dealt with in future.
