The half-yearly meeting of the followers of Te Whiti, which is being held today, has been looked forward to with considerable iuterest by Europeans, aud with great expectation by the natives. Our telegrams from Parihaka this morning disclose nothing of any importance to us us Europeans, and announce no new feature in, the policy of the great prophet. He -'still, recommends peace and submission to his dictates, and counsels forbearance notwithstanding the menacing and warlike attitude of thtir enemies. It must be admitted that Te Whiti has discretion, and displays wisdom in his exhortatious tracts, few leaders, especially of a'character like that assumed ty him, have sTiown. We anticipate success from the manoeuvres of the Government, and although Te Whiti declares that Parihaka shall be a sacred and sure refuge for the Maori people, he will-find a well formed road, and frequent^communication with Europeans anything but conducive to i either the sacredness of the place or its | security. ■ ■.. ■ ■. . : \V':
