WAIRAU MASSACRE.
Some information has reached us about this savage murder, which, if true, present] the native character in a much worse light than that in which the settlers at present regard it, even after this dreadful event. We refrain from publishing the information in question, partly because we hope it may not be true, and partly, if true, because it could not fail to be most painful to the feelings of the relatives of the murdered men. It will, however, be brought under the attention of Captain Fitzroy, who will not fail to feel the necessity of revenging the dead, and the honor of his country, by making a salutary example of these disgusting savages.
