NATIVE AFFAIRS IN TARANAKI.
[ New Plymouth, June 6. The Herald says :—•" While the public ave on tenterhooks of suspense, when the slightest movement of the natives—nay, their looks—tend to create alarm, it is very encouraging io be able to state that Mr. W. Bayley, who is living oil the border of a native district, has every confidence in the peaceful intentions of the natives. He has already 500 head of cattle on his farm, and to back his opinion he is going to put 50 more on in a few days. We hear that he has had an interview with a chief from Parihaka, who, on hearing of Mr. Bayley's alarm, had come to see him. The chief told Mr. Bayley that the natives did not intend fighting. There is very little doubt that in getting the natives to plough Mr. Courtney's paddock, To Whiti wished to see how far lie could venture, but, finding we are preparing ourselves for any emergency, he will be inclined to draw in his horns.
