FIGHTING OVER. Wangabxe last night. The report from the scene of the native troubles is that the fighting is over for the present. The Resident Magistrate (Mr. Clendon) and constable Gordon returned last night. These are known to be three killed and four wounded. Dr. Clarke went out with Mr Clendon to attend to the wounded men. The opinion among well informed people is that only Mr Mitchelson can settle the difficulty. Word has been sent by both sides to the North to collect a greater force. Firing was heard to-day but was probably over the dead, one of whom is I named Huni Hoera, a chief of some standing. Hemi Parapa was shot through the heart, Hoera was shot in he mouth, Naha Kariki shot through 'he temple. The wounded are WilI lington, shot through the arm, Mata I Arma, shot through the body, Harry | Pene, slightly wounded.
