ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT—TWELVE REBELS KILLED.

Almost simultaneously with the surrender of the Hau-haus at Omara-nui, Major Eraser and party, on the Petane side, encountered those arch rebels Kangihiroa, Anaru Matete, and Paora Toki, with 22 armed men, coming down the valley. The only answer of the Hau-haus to the demand for them to surrender was to present their pieces. An engagement ensued, which lasted only a few minutes, but which resulted in twelve of their number, including Bangihiroa, being killed, and one or two wounded. The remainder, including Paori Toki and Anara Matete, managed to escape, but were hotly pursued by Lieut. St. George and Captain Carr. Nothing as yet, however, has been heard of their capture.

The Hawfce's Bay Herald from which we have condensed the foregoing information, says that early last Monday morning (15th October), another expedition started—its destination understood to be Titiokura by way of Petane. The number is about 70— all volunteers and mounted. The Government called for volunteers, but the applications equalled the number wanted before the Gazette came out —the only difficulty being, and want of men, but a scarcity of arms not horses. This force will co-operate with. Major Eraser's party, and, under command of Lieut.-Colonel "Whittnore, will, it is believed, range the country up to Bangihiroa's place.
