TAURANGA.

The schooner Tauranga, Captain Sellars, arrived from Tauranga, last night with thirty- two European aud seven Native passengers, intimation having been giren them by William Thompson to " clear out," in four and twenty hours, as their lives were in danger, and that be 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 do time in obeying Thompson's warning. The schooner Mapere was to follow the Tauranga ; and the impression is that every settler on the East Coast will be compelled to come in.

The following are the passengers by the Tauranga: — Venerable Archdeacon and Mrs Brown, Miss Bymmell, Reverend and Mrs Baker, Mr Baker, Mr C. Baker, and Miss Baker, Mrs Baker and child, Rev. E. B. Clark, Mr H. D. Clarke, Mr Clarke, Mr S. Clarke, Mrs S. Clarke andjthree children, Mrs Christopher, Miss Leighton, Mrs J. M. Faulkner, 3 children, Mrs Sellers, 3 children, Mr Farraw, 2 Misses Pugli, 7 natives chiefs.

The Tauranga natives themselves were quiet; but they wert under coercion, and the chiefs who have come up did not consider themselves more safe than the Europeans. — New Zealander August 1.
