HAWERA, this day
Colontl Kolierta stayed at Opunako last night, and went to Stoncy Kiver this morning A large number of drays also went through to carry the baggage. The Armed Constabulary have nearly reached the camp af Otakeo. With the formation of the road, natives are moving towards I'nrihaka. Those in Norruanby are selling all ths griss seed to raise mouey to buy provisions', clothing, &c, for Parihaka. TE Will! PS NEXT MOVE. A very large meeting is anticipated on the 17th. Mauy natives express themselves confident that Te SVhili will make some move this month, which will tend to brine matters to a crisis, but no blood will be shed. When wo take it into consideration that it is just one year ago this month since Tc Whiti turned the surveyors of the Mains, and the importance he always attached to this March meeting as a starting point for some fresh line of action, There appears to hi |<otne reason to believe that the natives are right in their anticipations. Mr Hmsthous^, with his party of surveyors is < rdercd to commence work on the mountain road at Mnngawhero Stream, aud it is thought that a railway hero is to be started thence towards Ojnumkc.
