TAURANGA.
The schooner Tauranga, Captain Sellars, arrived from Tauranga last night with thirty-two European and sevn native passengers, intimation having been given them by William Thompson lo " clear out" in twenty-four hours, as their lives were in danger, and that he was collecting the natives along the coast, with the intention of prosecuting the war. So immediate and urgent was the danger considered to be that Archdeacon Brown, and the old established residents of Tauranga lost no time in obeying Thompson's warning. The schooner Mapere was to follow the Tauranga ; and the impression is that every settler on the EastCuast will be compelled to come in. The following ai-e the passengers by the Tauranga: — Venerable Archdeacon and Mrs Brown. Miss Rymmell, liev. and Mrs I Baker, Mr Baker, Mr C. Baker, and Miss Baker, Mrs Baker and child, Rev. E. B. Clarke, Mr H. D. Clarke, Mr Clarke, Mr S. Clarke, Mrs S.Clarke and three children; Mrs Cristopher, Miss Leighton, Mr- J. M. Faulkner, three children, Mrs Sellers, three children, Mr Farraw, two Misses Pu^b, seven native chiefs. The Tauranga natives themselves were quiet; but they were under coercion, and the chiefs who have come up did not consider themselver more safe than the Europeans. — New Zealander, August 1.
