PATEA, Monday.

The settlers are gratified at' tho taming of the plougbmeri from Livingstone's land. Titbkorwaru has not returned frara Parihaka. He awaits-.iustructions from Te Wbiti, vho says " His mat must be sweept clean." Meaning the settlers must be swept off the land.

A further contingent of natives arrived yesterday, after the ploughmen were taken off, and wished to resume ploughing, but Commissioner i Williams warned them, saying the settlers were not to be played with. 11,I 1 , is dispersed them, but it is supposed they will return in great force, and attempt to resume ploughing. Great preparation is being made for any emergency. The Government have chartered; the Manawatu, for Wangaaui, with 50 more Constabulary.

The latest information from Hawera is, that large .numbers of Maoris are collected on the other side of the Waingongoro river, but it is unknown, .whether they are armed or not.

Livingstone's house was guarded last night by 30 Volunteers.

The settlers are resolved to protect each other to the utmost, and throw the responsibility on the Government. If, after the Government have done all possible to prevent bloodshed, hostijities should take place, the Government will send a flying column of Constabulary, now over 300 strong", to break up the Parihaka settlement, leaving the protection of the Taranaki frontier and Waingongoro to the settlers, in their respective districts. Major Roberts, who • covered the. retreat at Okatuku, in the last war,: has been sent for, to command the Constabulary. Major Noakes controls affairs on the Waihgongoro boundary. The Ngapuhi have offered to furnish a contingent if the Governraent wish it. Rewi also said he would send 500 Ngfatimaniapotos if required. Even without the Ngatipor'ou counoingent, the Government can calculate on being able to place nearly 1000 friendly natives in the disturbed districts, should occasion arise.

When the news of the Maoris ploughing Livingstone's land was received, 200 volunteers, paraded and decided if Government gave an unsatisfactory reply to turn the Maoris off, and sent a telegram notifying the Government of their intention.

McLean, owner of land opposite Livingstone's lawn, could wait no longer, but yoked up his bullocks, and carted all off to Waimate plains. Two hundred Europeans were pre* sent. The Maoris were very sulky, and saying " wait, you see." They also threatened to come back, saying the land was theirs and they intended cropping it. The ssettlers waited to see if they would come back, and if they did they were determined to turn them off. again The meeting was determined to ask the Government to accept the services of one hundred men whom Captain Finnemore said he could raise. It also determined to request Government to find work for the settlers in building redoubts. Also,that any future aggressors should be put off, and friendly natives be warded to come'in at a certain time, if hostilities wero imminent. WELLINGTON, Saturday. It is rumoured that Mr G.'E. Barton, M.H.R., who is now at Home, has sent out his resignation of his seat in Parliament, in consequence of not being able to come back for some time.
