NEW PLYMOUTH.
This day.
The Faiihaka Meeting. The Parihaka meeting on Saturday was not of so pacific a nature as previous ones. Both Te Wbiti and Tohu spoke in an excited, and at times threatening manner. Te Whiti said every man must dropJhe pen and take up the sword ; if the pakehas cast a stone at 'them, the natives were to stone to the pakehas; if the Europeans hit them with their fists, they were to strike with their fists; if the pakehas took firearms to tight, the natives were to do the same. Throughout the meeting this kind of talk was indulged in; it may mean nothing, but from the bold front of the natives they appear ready for anything, and it is only Te Whiti's influence that keeps them in subjection at all. The rebellious spirits are amongst those who hare been imprisoned before, and should never hare been allowed to return to Parihaka.
