NEW PLYMOUTH.

January 28,

The Herald's Urenui correspondent writes that the natives released from Dunedin gaol have the same faith in Te Whiti as ever, as they say that shortly all the land from the White Cliffs to Waitara would come back to them, "~Fhe natives who have come back from Parihaka say that when the Governor arrives in Taranaki he will pay Te Whiti a visit. The native prisoners who were taken on to Auckland, and released in the Waikato, have arrived t.t Mi Mi yesterday, and will join their released comrades to-day. The natives are busy cutting their wheat, so as to be free for Te Whiti's meeting on February 17th. The Urenui Volunteers are disbanding owing to tbe Government compelling them to parade for inspection of arms once a month. The men are willing to parade once a quarter. Owing to the district being a native one the policy of i tbe Government jr. taking arms from tbe

men who have been soldiers is'condemned. The natives from Molcau say that the steamer Hannah Mokau has been seventeen miles up the river, which is five more than any vessel has been. The news respecting the coal and tbe opening up of that country is satisfactory.
