The following additional item of Maori news, we clip from the VVanganui Times of the 24th iust.— "Aletter from the Native Assessor in the neighbourhood of Pipiriki was received by a Putiki chief vesterday. The Assessor states that Pehi and Tahana say that His Maori Majesty is peaceably inclined. Any disputes which may arise about the gold-fields are to be settled judicially and not by fighting. He denies that any natives from the upper part of the Wanganui riyer have as yet joined Tito Kowaru. On this bit of information we may be allowed to remark that we can place but little reliance upon any statements of the kind coming from Pehi and Tahana. Even what they do state —or said to have stated, is very dubious. They deny that any Natives from the upper part of the VVanganui river have joined Titoko Waru. Will they say that it has not been arranged, and that they are not waiting and prepared to do so ? We shall see."
