NEW PLYMOUTH.
Monday.
The Parihaka meeting was held yesterday. A large number of natives assembled, and several Europeans attended, and were most hospitably received. A number of natives in European costume amused themselves by dancing polkas, quadrilles, etc., to an accordion played by a Maori. Te Kooti, and a large number of chiefs'; were present. The natives had expected that the Hon. John Sheehan would have attended. In the speech made by Te- Whiti, he said he was in favor of adopting tho European customs, except of drinking, but the land question, he said, was to be spoken of at another time. The natives appeared to be much disappointed that Mr Sheehad was not present.
