NEW PLYMOUTH.
September 6. _ The serious aspect of affairs at Parihaka has caused the authorities to be on tt>c alert. Colonel Koberts and Mr Hursthouse left on Sunday evening for Pungarehu, and orders have been left for all the A.C. men in town to at once proceed to head-quarters. The telegrams from Pungarehu and Rahotu last evening still refer to the nativee fencing, and persons who arrived to-day who have travelled the district bear out the telegrams. The natives are fencing and the Constabulary are felling down the fences, which the Maoris re-erect. No prisoners have been taken, pending orders from Wellington. Mounted patrols report further fencing. It is reported that thirty Constabulary and officers are to be stationed at Teparapara immediately. The Maoris say they do not care how many constables are brought to the front; tbey are not frightened, but will commence fencing, and not be taken prisoners. They number about six hundred. A violent thunderstorm passed over New Plymouth last evening. The lightning was extremely vivid.
