DEPARTURE OF SIR GEORGE GREY FOR WANGANUI.
; On Saturday afternoon, his Excellency the l Governor, accompanied by the lion. F. A. Weld, Colonial Secretary, Major Grey, (his ■ Excellency's aide-de-camp) and the Rev. Mr ', Thatcher, his Private Secretary, embarked i ; on board H.M.S.S. Esk, which, sailed immei"j diately for Wanganui We believe his Ex- ! cellency's visit is made chiefly with the view j of being at the scene of operations and com- ! municating with the General. The tenor of the communications from the hon. Mr Mantoll, the iNTative Minister, are, that a largo body of the natives are willing to makepeace 011 our own terms, but this requires further confirmation. After the experience he has had, his Excellency will probably be somewhat less inclined to trust the West Coast natives than before, and if report speaks truly, will take security for their remaining pacific in the future by establishing a chain of posts between Wanganui and Taranaki, to be occupied by Bifle Hangers. We are led to understand that the hon. Mr Weld's stay at Wanganui will be brief.
