WANGANUI.
The results of His Excellency's visit are pronounced to be decidedly unsatisfactory. The Chronicle states, "That so far as the Government natives are concerned His Excellency's visit may have been the means of strengthening their loyalty, but that amongst the King natives there seems to be a determination to assert their independence, based on their power to do so ; and, further, that the general feeling exists, even amongst those, not connected with the Waikato movement, not to admit of the Queen's supremacy." From the same journal we learn that " on Tuesday, September 28, the Governor received a letter from Amarama, the principal fighting chief of the Wanganui tribes — a warrior of considerable renown — forbidding him to ascend the river. On Tuesday morning His Excellency paid % visit to the Aramoho pah ; and in the afternoon left for Wellington overland in the quietest manner possible, few in the town being aware of his departure. Mr. John White, late of the Native department, had been appointed Resident Magistrate for the Native district of Wanganui.
