NEW PLYMOUTH.
This Day. The Parihaka meeting is over. The Natives are returning home appearing satisfied with the result. Te Whiti said it was necessary his men should be imprisoned before he could settle the peace of the world, which he intended doing without bloodshed. He said the prisoners were not to be set at liberty, but all ploughing should cease. He was glad his disciples used no violence. Those who went with the intention of talking in strong language were silent. The women are thorough believers in Te Whiti more than ever, and are satistied with his explanations, saying they are content to remain grass widows until the Lord pleases to send their husbands back. The whole of the Natives say there will be no fighting, but that Te Whiti's words will come true.
