THAMES.
September 18. The feeling of indignation against the action and insult of Mr Bryce re the Thames Volunteer contingent at Parihaka found vent on Saturday night in burning Mr Bryce's effigy. Some hundred men belonging to the late contingent followed a capital figure of Mr Bryce set on a white horse, and were accompanied by fully 2000 people, who marched through the streets of the borough headed by an impromptu band, composed of small boys equipped with tin cans and whistles, playing the " Dead march in Saul." During the progress of the procession the effigy was greeted at every street comer with hootings and catcalls, and was eventually carried up ore of the creeks outside the borough boucdaries and committed to the flames, and its dust kicked in all directions. During the whole time of the procession, ihe police was in constant attendance, but nothing occurred calling for their interference, as the men composing the procession preserved complete silence. Very general and intense disgust is felt here at the language used by Mr Bryce.
