(RROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Patea, 24th June.
Native affaire here are looking worse every day. They are having high times oi it at Hawera, and we are expecting to be ploughed up every day. A long description of Parihaka was sent to the Wellington papers. Djn't take notice of such rubbish. The natives are all well armed, and have more ammunition stored up than we have in the country. lam keeping on the alert, so as to be ready in case anything happens. I am well armed, as all the rest are; in fact, nothing will please us more than a good scrimmage. The general impression here is that the Government are delaying the crisis until the House meets.
