NEW PLYMOUTH.
This day. The serious aspect of affairs at Parihaka has caused the authorities to be on the alert. Col. Eoberts and Mr Hursthouse left on Sunday evening for Pungarehu, and orders were left tor all the A.C. men in town to act at once and proceed to headquarters. Telegrams from Pungarehu and Eahotu last evening still refer to the native fencing, and persons who arrived to day, who have travelled through the district, bear out the telegrams. The natives" are fencing, and the constabulary felling down the fences which the Maoris reerect. No prisoners have been taken, pending orders from Wellington. Mounted patrols report further fencing, aud it is reported that thirty constabulary and officers are to be stationed at Te Parapara immediately. The Maoris say they do not care how many constables are brought to the front, they are not frightened, but will commence fencing, and uot be taken prisoners. They number about six hundred. A violent' thunderstorm passed over New Plymouth last evening. The lightlaing was extremely vivid.
