There are but few houses now occupied for more than a mile or two outside Wanganui. The Wereroa redoubt, which was attacked on Thursday evening, was successfully defended for three hours, without loss, by the first-class militia. A few of the rebels were killed. The redoubt has since been abandoned. The main body of the rebels continues to move towards Wanganui, followed by Whitmore. The former skirts the edge of the bush, and has it always ready for cover. Tbe latter keeps in the open country, watching and waiting for a favourable opportunity to attack. The Governor, Messrs Stafford, Haultain, Featherston, and Parria were in Wanganui yesterday.
