LATEST FROM THE NORTH.

From the Daily Southern Cross of the 6th instant we copy the following : — Last evening Mrs. Reid, accompanied by Miss Allen, female teacher at the Mission School, and two of the female children, arrived in town from the Upper Waikato. The Rev. J. Reid is to follow them* We may add that the natives have expelled every Euiopeati resident in the district, withou reserve. Mra. Morgan and part of the Rev. J. Morgan's family have been in town upwards of a week. The female members of other out-settler's families have likewise come in with their ohildreu, the men remaining behind to secure what little property aud cattle they can. The Rev. J. Morgan comes in also; as does also Mr. Heather and Mr. John Allen. Mr. Heather's sheep are now at Otahuhu, having, with a part of his family, arrived at Maungatawhiri last Thursday night, He is bringing down his horses. Mr. Alien and another Bet tier, we understand, will arrive here about the latter end' of the week, hinging somewhere near 200 head of cattle with them. (From the Cross' WaiJcato correspondent.)

In my last letter from Upper Waipa, dated 15th April, 1 mentioned that a letter was said to have come from Taranaki, stating that a body of natives and the troops were in close contiguity, I have good authority for saying that the answer given by Rewi was "fight." When the letter reached Hanga tiki the people there modified it, they said " give up Tataraimaka, but place, our' ponarus (the fleeced Maories) on their land at Waitara." Tikaokao the fighting ohief of Ngatimaniapoto is at Taranaki) and we expeot every day to hear that a collision has taken place. \ Aporo said he intended to march in the direo-V ; tion of Auckland.
