NATIVE MOVEMENTS.

A large gathering took place lately at Kawhia, to lament over a dead chief, Hori te "Waru. The Waiknto friendly natives attended by invitation. The chief speaker was Tapihana, who said that there was, and would be no peace, and that the killing of Europeans should not cease. Tapihaua has repeatedly shown bis ability and readiness to make his words good, and such a spirit as this necessitates the maintenance of a considerable force in AVaikato. No progress has been made in conciliating Te Hira. He has sent back the " experimental " mailman. Much money, and some attempts at intimidation, have been bestowed in vain, and the Aroha continues impenetrable — magnificent aud golden in its mystery. Any molestation to either of these district chiefs would rouse the King, but with armed non-inter-ference on our part there appears no reason to fear a movement. Time alone seems capable of bringing a cure.
