LATEST PROM PATEA.
CAPTURE OF THE REBEL CHIEF TAUIIOA, AND 122 MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN. By the arrival of tke s.s. Wanganui on Thursday morning we are in receipt of the following " Times" Extra :— Mr Booth arrived in town late last evening bringing intelligence that the expedition up the Patea River had succeeded in capturing the rebei chief Tauroa, forty-sis men, and seventy-six women and children, the men were armed, but were very short of ammunition, no resistance was offered, they were brought down to Patea yesterday in about twenty canoes which were looted. Mr Booth comes down, we suppose, to ascertain the instructions of the Government relative to the prisoners, and of course to contract for a supply of food and clothing.. Next to Titoko Waru, Tauro is the biggest rebel in the district, and should have been shown no quarter.
