Ten more natives were arrested and sent into town from tho camp. The natives about Parihaka say they intend to continue fencing for ten days, and fully expect to bo arrested. On Tuesday morning natives were seen on tho hillocks overlooking the road near the camp, evidentally on the look-out to see if tho prisoners were taken to tho town. The natives about Parihaka are continuing their planting, fencing, &c., as usual, and argument is wasted on them, They say Christ w r as crucified and the prophets persecuted and so it is with them.
