THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1881.

For the cause that lacks a_li_ace, For the wrong that seeds resista-c For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

Mb Bkyce's sudden departure for Manaia on Tuesday is now explained. Titokowaru's settlements are adjacent to the township of Manaia, and before proceeding to the arrest of that chief it was deemed prudent to search tho villages along the Plains for arms —a very wise precaution, matters having now reached that pass when the slaughter of outlying settlers by stray natives may be looked for any day. The expedi tion was successful in securing somo 60 guns of various kinds—chiefly, no doubt, old fo-ling-pieces. Having accomplished that, the Constabulary proceeded' to-day to arrest Titokowaru and other chiefs. Tito kowaru is the best known chief on thatcoast. It was he who, in 1868, swept away every European settlement from, the Woitotara River to the Waingongoro—a distance of 40 miles. For many years a reward of £1,000 was oftered for his head, but after a lapse of time he was allowed to come back to his old settlements, and has since been paid sums of money for sections of confiscated land' south of the Waingongoro river. He can scarcely be called a stranger in Parihaka, the paddock' at the settlement, where horses are run, being recognised by the natives as his property. He is an adept at native warfare, daring, and thoroughly reckless of human life. Of all the men who have been arrested, he is the one who was the most dangerous, and in the critical state of affairs tbat now exists on the coast, he is safest in custody, though what the charge will be against him has not transpired. His former offences havo been condoned, and his behaviour since, On the whole, has not left much to complain of. Having acquired a strong, penchant for pakeha grog and pakeha money, Titokowaru, left to himself, would bave been easy to deal with. Bat be has all the instincts of a savage, and when he becomes "pouri" no man could well be more dangerous. It has become evident, from the attitude of the natives, that they aro resolved to compel tho. Gov ernment to arrest them all before thoy will stir. Mr.Bryce informed a correspondent to-day that the reason why the Government had not removed Te Whiti to New Plymouth before was fear that the natives wonld follow him in a body, and sonat at the door of his prison. Why they did not take him to Wellington is not so evident. The diffi culty about judicial districts would hare been a much smaller legal barrier than many Mr Bryce has jumped over already. But possibly the Cabinet did not care to bring the prophet into such close quarters with the Governor at present.

; Yesterday Mr F. Cherry was elected, with out opposition, amember for Grafton Riding, in the County Council of Eden. Messrs Masefield and J. Field were similarly elected for Newton Riding.

I A cricket match was played in the Domain yesterday between the Civil Service and Opera Troupe, which resulted in favour ot the former, viz:—Opera Troupe : Ist innings, 67 runs ; second, do., 8 wickets for 37 runs. Civil Service :73 runs. Tho3e who made double figures were : Opera Company—Lissaux, 24'; and Rookes, 16; and for Civil Service—COhadan, 16; Thomas, 23 ; and Hartner, 12. There is, a probability of another match taking place on Wednesday next.

A number of larrikins patronised tho North Shore yesterday, and caused con siderable annoyance to more quietly dis posed persons. They on several occasions endangered tho lives of. persons on the wharf, by rushing hither and thither to the places affording the best view of the regatta, and using most filthy language1 ] Sergeant Martin bad more than his hands full, and it was very evident that on such occasions more than one member of the police force is required.

\ Tho teachers and scholars of the New North Rood Wesleyan Sunday-school took advantage of the railway line whioh passes theit school-house by holding a picnic yes terday at Henderson's Mill. Thither they proceeded by the first train and took posses sion of the fields and forest adjoining the station. The day was pleasantly occupied in yariouß games, and the existence of amusements suited to the different ages and tastes tended to render the affair a great success. The evening train conveyed tbis party of ple_sure-seekers home well satis fied with the day's proceedings. 7 ~ _

Over forty defended and undefended cate. were set down for hearing to-day in the Resident Magistrate's Court, which was crowded by solicitors and interested per« sons. A large number of subpoenas had been issued, and some witnesses had come a considerable distance. Mr Tyler had eleven witnesses, and Theo. Cooper sixteen, in attendance, to Rive evidence in several defended cases. Mr Brookfield was con fidently expected, but it appeared that he had not been duly sworn in, and conse quently could not act as .the Resident Magistrate. Much dissatisfaction was ex pressed at this state of. things, and Mr J. B. Stoney, clerk, had no other course open but to adjourn the Court, which he formally did, until Thursday, the 17th inst,

A gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Ohinemuti, informs us that -the next return trom Butler and Goonan's tribute in the Waitokauri mine will exceed 2,000 ounces ot gold. Crushing is now in pro gress. : .. .

(The Naval Brigade held a most successful picnic at North Shore yesterday. During the day the old Armstrong gun, which has been recently cleaned, was taken three-parts of tho way up to the top of the' North Head.

The Devonport Ferry Company had a lively time yesterday in convoying passen gers to and from North Shore. Three of their own steamers wero found insufficient, and the s.s. Lily was pressed into service. It is estimated ;that fully 5,000 persons travelled on these steamers between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., all tho Auckland passengors having been landed at the latter hour.

The Ponsonby all-comers' iuriggor crow has challenged the North Shore men to row for any sum from £25 upwards. Thero is hot much probability of the challenge boing accepted, the Ponsonby men having so clearly asserted their superiority in yester day's raco.' We understand that the gig Kumea, which swamped in the contest, has been so badly injured that.tho club will be compelled to order another. This is rather unfortunate, but sympathy for the. crew which met with the accident is so strong that very littlo difficulty should bo ex perienced in raising the necessary sub scriptions.

The anniversary soiree in connection with the Newmarket Primitive Methodist Chapel was held last evening, and passed off successfully. The following ladies pre sided at the tables:—Mesdames Jones, Simpson, Reeves, and the Misses Best (2). After tho tea a public mooting was held, Rev, J. Guy in tho chair. The report for the post year was not very encouraging. Addresses were given by tho Chairman, Mr Booth, and others. Mr Nicholson presided at tho harmonium. Several hymns were sung, and the usual votes of thanks con cluded a very happy meeting.

Mr F. G. Ewington is announced to lec ture next Monday evening in St. Sepul chre's school-house on the Vicar of Moorwin stow. Never did a more eccontric par»on staud up in a pulpit. Ho dressed in oil the colours of the rainbow, and woro oven coloured boots, and a pink briraloss hat. In early life be was the terror of his native town, for there is scarcely any boyish mis chief ho was not up to. If Mr Ewington tells fully tho story of the Vicar's evontful life, the audience will say that truth is stranger than fiction. We aro informed tbat several ladies and gentlemen havo kindly consented to assist with musical talent, and the members of St. Sepulchre's Mutual Improvement Society are hoping to havo a good house. There is no chargo for admis sion, but a collection will be made in aid of tho Society.

It is more than probable that the senior amateur gig race in connection with the North Shore Regatta will bo rowed oyer again. It appears that notwithstanding the nmatour definition recently arrived at, the North Shore crew included a young man named Burgess, who has served one year of an apprenticeship on the ship Waikato. He rowed bow oar in the place of Mearna. The rule clearly defines that a bona fide amateur shall mean ono who has not been employed in or about boats on the water, or in manual labour. A protest has therefore been entered by tho Auckland crew, on the ground that Burgess is a sailor, nnd there fore not an amatour. It will be remem bered that the North Shore boat was started boforo tho Auckland and Ponsonby crows were able to get to the starting-post, so that, should tho Committee consider the protest sustained, a good race should bo the result.

Northcote is becoming a popular resort for holiday seekers. An unusually large number visited the district yesterday. The second young ladies' Bible Class, of St. James's Sunday .chool.under tho charge of Miss Cog-ill, held a very pleasant picnic there, a number of tho teachers and mem bers of the other Bible classes being present by invitation. Thanks to the kindness of Messrs. Howard, Harcourt, and Denby, whose grounds were placed at the disposal of the visitors, they wero enabled to indulge in boating, swinging, and a variety of games usual on such occasions. The Devonport Ferry Company would do well to pay some attention to Northcote requirements. There was no steamer between the hours of 5. 30 p.m. and 0.30 p.m. and a large number of picnickers, who missed the 5.30 steamer, had to wait four hours for another.

' While considerable interest prevails in other horoughs in the Mayoral elections which take place this montb, little or nothing has been said about that of this city, the reason no doubt being the univer sal desire that the present holder of the office shall retain it for another term, v wish there Is, wo are glad to learn, a strong probability of his acceding to.

. A little boy named Rice, son of the land lord of the Manukau Hotel, had a most narrow escape from drowning at Onehunga yesterday,evening. The little fellow, who is only some four years old, accidentally fell from'the old wharf, and was being swept away by the strong ebb tide past the new wharf, when the wharfinger, Mr J. Murdoch, jumped into tho water and saved him. As the boy was a considerable time in the water, unconsciously floating along with the strong current, ho did not recover for some little time after being: rescued. Mr Murdoch's courageous conduct is worthy of all praise. The boy must inevitably have been drowned, had it not been for bis prompt aid.

: A man, whoso name wo did not ascer tain, had a narrow escape from drowning at the North Shore yesterday afternoon abouts o'clock. He formed one of the crowd of people who at tbat tirao thronged -the Devonport wharf, and by some moans be fell into tho water, sustaining a severe cut on one of his temples by coming in contact with the piles of the wharf. He was, fortunately, not rendered unconscious by the hurt, oncLffras ablo to swim ashore.' i Yesterday, a Bothewhatalarming incident occurred on one of the trains running between Auckland and tho show at Ellerslie, A number of people wore crowded .into a cattle truck, and while tho train was in fall motion, the ..large side door of this conveyance opened outwards with a loud crash. The passengers were very much alarmed; so much so that several of them leaped out of the. truck on to tho. line, but so far as we have heard hono of them were injured. '; ;

The Bohemian Dramatic Club gave their second performance at the Devonport Hall, in aid of the North Shore Regatta Fund, last evening. There was a large attendance of the public The pieces chosen, "Check mate," an amusing comedy by Andrew Halliday, and the popular farce of " After the Honeymoon," • were well presented throughout, i The Club were assisted by several of the members of the Australian Specialty Company now In town. Mr M. Barnett, as Sir Everton Toffee, played remarkably well, looked gentlemanly, and succeeded altogether, in a difficult and arduous part to entire satisfaction. Mr Gerald Dillon {Sam Winkle) was ot course intensely funny, and played the soi-disant gentlemanly groom to the life. Mr G. Savoury, as Strap, was stablcisto, and spoke a small part excellently. Messrs Goldwater, Phillipps, Brown, uervants of the house, also made much, of unimportant parts. Mr G. Reid (Henry) was excellent. Miss Ethel Adelle played Charlotte very nicely, and- Miss E. Burke, as Martha Burns, was all to be desired. I think we may say that, without exception, this was the most artistic performance ever given, n the North Shore. A new landscape back ing, painted for the occasion by Mr N. Thornton, procu.ed a burst of applause at tho rise of the 2nd Act of the comedy. On Monday evening last, the Grafton District School Committee met at tho school-house, Nugent-street. The resigna tion by Mr Rushbrook of the secretaryship to the Committee was received with regret, and Mr Thomas kindly consented to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the present Committee's term. A letter was received from the Board approving of the outlay of £1,000 on additions to the school buildings, and requesting the Committee's approval (o the appointment of the Board's architect, which : was agreed to, subject to the plans being submitted to tho committee before being acted upon. Permission was granted to the headmaster to hold evening classes in the school. Authority was given to execute repairs to the fences and school buildings.' r ' '•■> •' '- . ' :7'v .;"-'

The North Shore Regatta yesterday ended very satisfactorily, the only hitch boing the difficulty in reaching the flagship. The City of Cork was to have been kept running between the flagship and Dovonport Wharf, bnt during the best part of-the afternoon was stuck hard and fast upon a sand bank. Many-persons on shore held flagship tickets, but could not get on board for either love or money, In all other respects the exertions of the Committee were crowned with success, and we only hope the North Shore Regatta will become an annual institution, and that it may be always as successfully carried out as that of yesterday was. We have received complaints of the ex cessive crowding of the steamers. Ono correspondent calls upon the Harbour Board to prevent this in future, or some terrible disaster will one day occur,

Thero was a large attendance -at the Lome-street Hall last evening, to witness the Christy Minstrel performance ib aid of the Hobson Company's Band. The first portion of the programme comprised the following items. Overture, Minstrels j " Still I Love Thee," Master H. McComisb; "Ob.Ted, Toll Them to Stop," E. Dalheim; "On the Bright Golden • Shore, M. Barrini; "The Old Cottage Gate, R. Ellerton; "Baby's Got a Tooth," W. Carey; " Queen of the Night," H. Auton. The burlesque of the Davenport cabinet mystery created great amusement. In the second part, Mr H. Auton received an encore for his excellent rendition of the ballad " Tho Memory of tho Past." A clog dance by Messrs Seagar and Riley, and a double song and dance by the Mettam Brothers, " The girl I Know, wero well re ceived, The whole concluded with a farco entitled "Bloomer's Assistant," During the course of the evening the lino band of the Hobson Company played several selec tions, and also supplied the music for the dan.o. i -i

AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

The railway officials had their work "cut out " in the transport of this multitude, bnt they did it welll A mistake occurred in our prize list yesterday with respect to Mr Carter, judge. The name should havo read Ebonczer Carter instead of John Carter. Messrs Ireland Brothers wero tho most successful exhibitors in tho Local Manufactures de partment, securing no less than 19 first prizes, and 6 second. In our description of local Industries we neglected to refer to a portable rivet forge, exhibited by Mr Hugh 1.. Gilmour. It was a very creditable piece of workmanship. An error occurred in. our prize list with reference to cheese. -Tho only prize awarded for old cheese was taken by Mr George Dibble, of Welhford, who secured a first class award. For now cheese, Mr Churches took first, and Mr Dibble second prizes.

BLACK AND WHITE EX HIBITION.

A smalt, bat highly creditable exhibition ot drawings, paintings and sketches in "Black and Whito,'' arrangod under the auspices of tho Society ot Arts, was open this afternoon in tho Museum, Thero wero ihroo oil-colour paintings, all of them of moonlight effects. Tho most suceestul was by Mr Trevothick, and repre sented a cutter sailing towards the spectator ovor a smooth moonlit sea. The foreshortening of the boot was good; but to place the boom .of tho mainsail as nearly amidships as pcsslblo is a nautical untruth. It Bhould be on tho leo quarter. Another painting representing Uacgl toto and tho North Head, is the work of Miss Bloazord and contains somo good work. The foreground, however, Is too dark and form less to bo trae to nature; and tho drawing of North Head Is cortalnly defective. The third painting, of a motlonfoss boat and sea by moon light, from the brush of Mr Drummond, errs in just the opposite direction by being too luminous. with regard to sepia and Indian ink sketches, of whioh thero Ib a good soleotion. Mr Thomas Boll's aro entitled to the flrat notice, both on account of tholr merit, and tno fact that they aro conllnod to Now Zealand Bubjootß.

In the last named, however, tho intention of the painter with regard to the falls io not at once evident, the view being apparently taken too noar tho spot whero the water suddenly tumbles down over the cliff. Tho balance of light and shade ia "Muddy Creek" ia excellent; aod there is also In it rather more attempt at bring ing out the details of New Zealand foli.no. It is noteworthy that tho. slurring over of suoh deUils.withtheotrootofoxhibltlngno distinction between the flora of'this colony and that of England or any other country, is a fault into which moat of tho artiste have fallon. It a New Zealand scene Is being depioted (and efforts in this dircotlon should bo rewarded nnd substantially encouroged)|let itepeoollaritics be insisted npon, and its numerous differences brought prominently forward. The exhibition contained four fiuishod sketohes by.Key. P. Walsh, three of them soa-plcoes, and the fourth a view of St. John's College ob It was 10 years ago. The former evidence great talent and facility la execution, though there is a stiffness about many ot the linos, and a solidity about the wovob, which careful study would remove Miss E. Cheosomau Bends an Indian ink sketch of white rose and clematis, clearly and beauti fully finished. ; The unopened rose is espeoially faitnful to nature. Th . whole would, however,, bo better wero tbe flowers thrown father more into relief, instead' of retreating into the background as they appear to do now. Other meritorious flower-pieces are by Misa M. A. Eames ('Study in lampblack: branoh with flower"), andMrn L. Harrop ("Trumpet Lily," in Indian ink): tho latter being finished with great palna. Miss M. VV. Home's two frames of sketches in sepia |of New Zealand scenery are worthy of attention, though some of the attompta at representing: running water have not met with much success. Mies 0. W. Home exhibits a frame of pen and ink Bketoheß. neatly dono. The most meritorious pen andink sketch was bo small, that it ran some risk of being lost Bight of. Miss Kmily Mania is tho artist, and her tiny production dopiots a female figure, seated, hold a vase. Tho drawing is remarkable for its acouraoy. every line having its intention, and Is plain proof that better work might oome from the same direotion. Mr A. Sharpe's penoil ia represented by a large drawing of a pohuta kawa tree overhanging Auokland barboar, Rangitoto filling iup the background, and a full rigged ship filling up the stretch of water in, tno miudlo distance. The pioture indicates very olearly this artist's peculiarities. Wo have Btill to speak of non-original work, consisting mainly of copies in pencil and crayon. A drawing of h vase and sprays of flowers (from tho round) by Master W. Clayton, of Parnell Grammar school, chows talent and application remarkable in bo young a student. The shading of the vase and the leavss ot the plant is done with wonderful delicaoy and finish. Miss V. Plumloy has con tributed a number of crayon copies, all ot them of great merit. • The most successful to our t-in_ing,:are "Mother and Child"—the foreshortening of the child's faoe being very good—and " Waiting for a shot." Miss Plumley will, no doubt, make her mark when she leaves Imitation for more ambitious efforts. A oopy of a picture by Herring, exeouted in crayon by Misa James, is very oarefully done; and there is a good deal of vigour in the representation of a tiger, to whioh tbe card of Mrs Barton Ireland is attaohed. There are several pictures by Mrs Spencer Cameron whioh are worthy of notioo, chiefly, however, on account of the amount of lime and labour expended in their production. The drawing of the "Lake of Tiberias" looks : li.o a photograph, bo exact and finished aro all tho details; but its formality and hardness prevent it from boing a really pleasing picture.

MRS. REVITT'S CONCERT.

Mrs Rb vrrfß annual concert at tbo Choral Hall was well patronised last evening, and ospoolally by tho congregation and oholr ot St, Paul's. The night was exceedingly flno and favourable, and the oonoort was unquestionably, In point ot merit, a sucoobs. If tho voo-llata did not equally givo satltfootlon, several of them were learners, (Which was a consideration. Their proflolonoy, however, reflected much oredlt upon Mrs Rovltt's qualifications aa a teaober ot musio and singing. Tho programme opened with the " Anvil Chorus" (Verdi) by the choir, one o£ the best of the glees. A young lady performed a pianoforte duet; pleasantly received, Mrs KeVltt (soprano) and Mrs Rayncs (oontrolto) wore encouraged in tho duet " Sainted Mothor," from "Morltano," an oxcellont performance, "Waiting" was rendered with oloarnoßS of utterance end offset by a pupil. Mr Gordon Goooh moved the enthusiasm of the ondlenoe by his several naval and patrlotio songs, OBpeolally " Cupld'a Bay,"and tbe "Fog Bell." On eaoh occasion Mr Goooh was re called, and gave "An Kngllshman am I," and ■•' Wlll-o'-tho Wisp." Mr Angelo Forrest, the accompanist, performed variations on o famous! American air, and was encored. Hi» solos were eminently praiseworthy. Mrs Revlit sang the sweetly Bimplo, but truly poetical song, "Sing, Sweet Bird," with preoißlon and purity of tone and expression. Loud approbation was manifested, and showers of bouquets fell at the feet of tho vocalist. The lady -ratified the wish of tbo listeners with "Comia' Thro' tho Ryo" (Burns), whioh wob sung with natural grace and appreciative light-. somonesßOf spirit. Elngsley's touching melody, ." Tho Throo Fishers," given as a glee, was not perfect; the pothotlo aentlmenta of this lovely melody wero lost amid the sound of many voices, Tho glee. "I love tbo Merry Springtime," was more satisfactory. Miss Harding (pupil) per formed on overture from " Zompa," in a correct and commendable manner, evincing taste and judgment, "Hear me,Norma,"a duet by Mr- Maxwell and Mrs Maoready, was ably rendered. A pretty song, " Tired," by a lady, was given in that soft and happy style which harmonises with the spirit of tho ballad. Mrsßaynes won speolal favour by "Love's Request," and in response to on encore song "Klllarney." The Misses Patterson performed a planaforte duet, " Maroho aux Flambeaux,'' in a pleasing and efllolent manner. Mr James Spry gave two .ongs, " There ia a Flower," and " Tell me, Mary," but the singer was rather tremulous ia voloe, and Bcaroely equal to his task. The subjeot of " Wooing " however, is a delicate one, and roqulrodoourogo in a young man. Speaking gonerally.however, it mußt be frankly admiited that tho concert was very creditable in detail, and worthy of praise. Tho whole olosed with " Good Night." and the National Anthem.

TE WHITI RELIEF FUND.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—The suggestion of a correspondent of o Christchurch paper, mentioned in yonr tele grams in last evening's issue, that a subscription be made to employ counsel for the defenco ot tbe imprisoned natives on tbe West Coast, is an excellent one, and, I trust, will.be acted upon in this city by those who have a reverence for liberty and legality. I enclose two pounds ss my subscription. The proceedings of the Go vernment at Parihaka during the last two days remind us ot the old state ot things in England two centuries ago,against Whioh our Hampdens, and Pyms.ond Pierpolnts so gloriously Btruggled. The fruits of the victories of those immortal porsonages have been denied to our Maori fellow Bubjeots. Tho sanctity of domtoilo baa been outraged, and, without any offence or trial, men havo been driven from under their own roof-tree at the bayonet's point. Con it bo possible that the colonists of New Zea land will tolerate the employment of on armed force to trample on the laws of the land and to oommit offences against liberty more beinoua and glaring than those Whioh cost Charles I. his life. No one who has read the account of Te Whitl's behaviour In the trying circumstances of lost Saturday but must admire the man's nobility of character and his determination not to permft his followers to disturb the publio peace. His wordshave the true ring of heroism. I hope a sufficient sum will ba raised in tbe principal towns to employ efficient counsel to conduct the defence of a man to whom the whole oolony is indebted for averting the calamity of civil war.—l am, &a,

PARIHAKA NEWS.

The Searching of the Whares.

Full Description.

[FROM. OUR SPECIAL. REPORTER,]

" [The following telegram was crowded out of last night's issue.]

PUNGAREHU, Tuesday. SOON after nino o'clock on Monday morning, Mr Bryce interviewed the natives at Pari haka, and spoke to them through tho medium of his interpreter, Mr Hursthouse. •This mandate was: " The tribe of Wan 'ganui leave this place this very day. Nga- Tttru leave at once, and all strange tribes do :tho same.that the land may be clear for the' icepple who rightly own the land." To this :flo reply, was given, and five minutes having elapsed, Mr Bryce again spoke, saying, |,! Go and put your property together and ;leave this place." • .' .! ■ No result following this, the Constabulary were brought on to the place where all were assembled, and a search for arms was com menced in the houses adjoining. ' REPORTERS' TROUBLES. Owing to the extreme secrecy as to the movement,and more than ordinary caution on the part of tho authorities, iv.conse quence of their failure to keep pross repre sentatives from acquiring a full report of the arrest of Te Whiti and Tohu, the reporters formed themselves outside Parihaka, but sufficiently near to see all that transpired, if not to hear all that was said to tbe natives. Your reporter would first of all remark that he very narrowly escaped arrest. With another reporter he was attempting to effect an entrance into; Parihaka by a ■ side route, and was npon the point of crossing the stream when he perceived tho special of the "LytteltonTimes," and another press man, returning from the place in cuitody of two stalwart members of the force. ; lie accepted the inevitable,and retired to a position near the Native Minister and party, already occupied by several reporters, From' this point his report is given. ; SEARCHING THE HOUSES. ■ The first object that greeted his enquiring gaze was Major Goring, standing in a Btatuesque attitude on the summit of one of the many native houses, whilst Te Raugipuahoaho was addressing the assem ' bled natives. Many short speeches were made during the day, and all to the same effect—peace and forbearance-in fact, Te Whiti's doctrine in the mouth of another orator. Major Goring was soon-joined by Captain Forteaque, whilst Colonel Roberts, Adjutant Gordon, and Captain Mair, occupied the summit of the cart-shed, bn the left of where the natives were assembled. At ten minutes' to 10 tbe searching commenced, the A.O. merely having th«ir revolvers ready. Captain Gudgeon went through tbe throng of natives and the searchers began operations in therow of whares bounding them on the right; Guns were quickly handed out, and as they were received they were laid at the feet of Mr Bryce, who was sitting on the Blope of the graveyard, facing the marae. At 10 o'clock Captain Baker's Company were led up another avenue of houses closer to the stream, aud the houses on each side of this became objects of strict search, j Doctor O'Carfol at th's time approached the small knot of reporters, and asked Mr Thompson.' if he could find Yon Tempskey _ sword, and was replied to in the affirmative. 'Mr Bryce,-' however, refused to allow the entrance of a civilian into Parihaka; and although Mr Thompson,* from his standing place pointed out the house it was kept in, it was not found, so it has probably : been re moved. Guns,double and single,and many rifles came quickly in, and by twenty minutes to ten the first row of houses had not a weapon left inside. The men then proceeded to search those lying to the left. Here a Government wheelbarrow was found, and a large batch of guns was. brought in, and from this point Csptain Gudgeon led his men to the quarters occupied by the Taranaki tribes, at the back of the village. At 10.30 No. 7 were led by Captain Morrison along * the line of houses skirting the stream which divides Parihaka, ■ The sun bad by this time become very hot, and permission was given to i the reserve to sit down. At this time Constabulary' could be seen in all directions entering or emerging from houses, many of them with guns in their hands; nnd two breech-load ing fowling-pieces now became part of the total, also a midshipman's dirk, a very old greenstone mere, and carved whalebone weapon, which two latter were ordered'fo be returned by.Mr Bryce. 7„ .. ,;.,..., • ~-..- -'■■ A voice was again heard from amongst the i crowd of natives, admonishing them to patience and forbearance, that by. the glory, of God they might reach the days of ever lasting peace...'. j The Constabulary now returned from the left bank of the stream, bringing 50 guns,, the result of the search in the Wanganui quarters, From one house near the entrance to Parihaka, quite an arsenal was taken—: 5 guns, a large quantity of sporting powder and shot, besides rifle cartridges in packets. When the storehouse was searched, and the cupboard, once the receptacle of the powder of the community, broken open, nothing rewarded the searchers.

j A silver watch was found bya Maori-girl on the floor of a house recently searched by ' the Constabulary, and, thinking it the pro perty, ol them, she banded it to Major Tuke. ' •'' ''"'-'- " ' ■' : ' '.yl FRUITS OF THE SEARCH. " I j By 11.45 the search of Parihaka was com ' plete, and the whole of the men againl rans -1 tered on the square, when Captain Mair's company were told off to carry the guns into, carhp.' These" were 228 in number'; arid'a" barrow-load of ammunition, pouches, and powder flanks, besides three baskets of gun powder, were also taken away, whilst a quantity "of- axes, adzes, greenstone meres, and marahas were returned to the natives. •PARTY TO-PULL: DOWN-THE ~r HOUSES. ■ I Col.. Roberts now dismissed the men, with instructions to fall in again at one. Accord ingly, after an hour's spell, .the men again fell in, and the one Company Were ordered to pile their arms inside the'camp and march free of'all encunibrancev. These men were entered*-? a fatigue party for.the des-' truction of the houses of the j people;-of Waikato, 1 Ngatimaniapoto, and JNgatima. These houses had been emptied of - all their contents-by the Constabulary in the morn ing, and the property of the owners was piled'in a heap outside. It was rumoured in the early part of tbe day that these houses were to be burnt down. On inquiry, it ap pearsthat fire'was not to be used, but they were to be: pulled down. Io?j ;..'■'

ORDERS SUDDENLY REVERSED, AND ABRUPT DEPARTURE OF MINISTERS,

i This work would have been done yester day, but whilst the men were all standing in readiness, to the surprise of everyone— officers and men—Messrs Bryce and Kolles ton suddenly left for Opunake,' viaTPun garehu. Curiosity has led to many con jectures as to the reason of this sudden departure. It '• appears that When all was ready for another entrance into the native village, Mr Bryce received a telegram, and .after perming it left as stated, some say in no very sweet temper. So further operations were'postponed.

PATIENT BEARING OF THE . ~,. NATIVES. .-

j The natives bore the deprivation of their arms without any outward sign of emotion. Not a man stirred from his place whilst house after house was searched, boxes broken open, and the most treasured posses sions of the people—the heirlooms of the chiefs of the tribes—handled by the Con stabulary, snd in some instances removed. Stories are told of large rolls of notes and boxes of sovereigns—nor is this at all im probable, as many thousands of pounds are known to have been deposited in tbe hands of Tohu by the various tribes. As a rule, it is said the Constabulary behaved with exemplary honesty—but one case to the contrary is spoken of by the natives.'

THE NATIVE, WANT MORE TIME,

; Your reporter was told by one'of the head | chiefs that, were a little time given for con sideration and preparation, he thought the natives might be induced toleavo Parihaka and return to their tribal homes ; that they had, many of them, been for years there, aud had accumulated too much perishable property to be carried on one's back. Moreover, all the crops were at Parihaka, and_if they returned to their homes they went but to starve. The behaviour of the natives is beyond all praise, and puts' to' blush the Christian resigoationof Europeans under a like .trial. Not only is no move made to have their property, but not a word is spoken, save the occasional admonitory voice of a chief bidding all bo patient, *.

PUNGAREHU, this day DESTROYING NATIVE HOUSES.

VAbruptns was the departure of'the Defence Minister, causing stagnation-in the camp at Parihaka during his absence,^ his equally-sudden return ia taken by: alltbbe

~^;^;^ . ■ .i. ■ a-"token" of - renewed activity i_ yjg work of . dismantling Parihaka as a i$ settlement, and spoiling it as. a home. The household goods of the tribes of Waikato, Ngatimaniapoto and Ngatitoma which were piled in a heap outside their whares by the Constabulary, were removed last night, and tbe ownets forma shelter in the houses lately built by the natives for Tawjiiao and his people, when it should please his Majesty to visit Parihaka. One of the houses emptied of its contents ia quite a new one-perfectly constrqeted as far as Maori architecture is concerned carefully lined with ornamented reeds, and dedicated .to the use of Rewi Ngathnanla. poto. V .- " O . , 't> / Wi Parata and five of his people froh. the South leit Parihaka yesterday: ~T V THE CHARGES OF ROBBERY, _ A parade ot all the force Was held yester day morning to allow of investigation into ' .the charged df robbery made against the Constabulary by natives; None but thot. . actually on outpost duty were absent, and during the parade a party was stmt to"the tents to make a thorough search for morley '.; "and other valuables taken from Parihaka. jf the tale of the natives is true, I blame the .- Minister who. would rush the matter ' through, rather than the Constabulary,who had unnecessary temptation thrown in thei. way. A systematic search by a few picked men would have been a guarantee against ! depredation.l wished to hear from the natives 1 the loss they had sustained, irrespective of • the seizure 1 of amis, but Parihaka was • (guarded by sentries of Europeans, and the ' hill overlooking the village was crowded 5 iwith keen-eyed detectives. I sssayed an v t 'entrance on the left, and was turned back, » and Lyttelton "Times" correspondent ' thenmade an attempt on the right, taking' V l shelter in our progress in the bed of the ' creek, We were successful at the outset' 3 but on crossing an open space inside wero 3 observed.and again brought back by the Con. i stabulary.' I and my companion then sat 8 4own, and debated further operations,"ari(i" 6 my friend, thought that he would not make i another attempt,; I went alone. Six men' 0 [were detailed ■. to. watch' me, and arrest mat ': '* [should they find me in the pab. I was in f ■ the pah, and so were the Constabulary, but' y ;they_failed to arrest me, and nothing was s seen of your'special until he made his' 'appearance two hours later outside the' §1 camp chattering with his friend. And this is g whathe heard in Parihaka -.—£3oo iB the" a estimate of. the: natives'money lost. One - 6 woman says that her purse was taken, the 7 ; c [contents Of wMcb :were' £9 in'notes, _' ~' sovereigns, and a half-sovereign, 6 shillings, c in silver, and two receipts tor money paid. c The: gold solitaires were removed, c from her cuffs, and several greenstone ,r. pendants from her satchel. > Turire, y of Wanganui, lost £35 from his j box, and the meerschaum pipe of Whareko . was,taken before hb ey.B as he sat in his" ['. yhare, and 7no notice taken of his g remonstrance.

Karaiti missed her! brooch and' j- locket attached to a gold chain. ;In fact 7 . the depredations are too numerous to' y particularise.

j I visited Parihaka_yesterday, bnt in the camps, all was quiet.,, Wi- Parata, with (fourteen followers—hag and .baggage—left ■ there about"seven in the morning, -but no large exodus hastake— place. ■-.; Tahina took tweJve'away,with;hini'onTueßday. During the'present rush of news the Post and Tele- ' graph officers are- hard'.wbrkeil, but every < attention is paid by.those in, charge. If a-, supply* of stamps ■• were issued to each, it would relieve' a "'great! inconvenience. Yesterday was' spent in camp aSjii holiday, •■ except by.the Volunteers. VTheir'officers, take advantage of the large gathering, and. tlie opportunity of working them in rough, ground, to thoroughly .instruct them in skir- 7; mishing. Rumours have been rife as to tbe visit of Mr .Bryce to Manaia,' and all sorts of conjectures were .made. He returned this afternoon, after having searched the whares in the settlements" round Normanby, , Mawhitohiti, and neighbouring villages,; collecting ,150 guns. :He went early this, morning to Parihaka. ; Col. Roberts was ia7 Pungarehu last night to meet bin), and no > doubt aU arrangements for to-day's work'; were completed;: —' : ~'•':. , :' ; : ' 7' v. AFFAIRS7IN CAMP. i

\The battalion under .Capt. Hammersley, consisting of ' the Canterbury Contingent, j '' Wellington Guards, Rifles, and Engineers, tbe Makara and Wairarapa, corps shifted camp this morning to avoid the riveTWai totara, which runs through Parihaka, and from which they had been using water for'< culinary purposes.. .The'day was s warr_, and some three men fell out rising on the hew ground. The camp was pitched in excellent order, every tent going up togethf r. on the sound of the bugle. One volunteer * ■ fainted froni the heat ot the sun, which at that hour (ten o'clock) : was ' very powerful. .During the' day, it being. V tho Prince of Wales's .birthday, numer-' ous visitors 'drove out to Punga-, reh'u'and Parihaka, and amongst them v; were ladies very anxious to see Te Whiti. The access to Parihaka was closely guarded by the A.C., who ordered visitors not to , enter the village. .Nevertheless, as it was well understood that the order was a dead letter, many persons contrived to get in. At • one time a picket was despatched to bring out all European.,' It was amusing to see unfortunate men roaming the village looking for stragglers, and cursing those who forced upon, them a duty which a couple of extra sentries could have jprevented. : One especially gave considerable anxiety to the guard but evaded the search, by dressing in _ Maori garment", The order - preventing civilians from entering at camp has been resciuded, and* correspondents are. permitted to do so. It is strange that this new order was sent to Volunteer camp, whilst the original one was confined to the , A.C. ' ';--;' '■' V.' ...'■/,

THE NATIVES UNMOVED. i The prisoners are still in Pungarehu. Sergt John Webb A.C. was left in charge of this [post, and bis seventy men to garrison it. £,Tho natives are, as usual, determined to stand by' Te Whiti's order. They will have to all be arrested one by one,_nr as a body,' They will not resist. It is a strange sight to look down upon Parihaka from Fort Rolleston. The,, .meeting ; place is packed with human.:being3, aud the only protec tion-is a rough wooden fence all round { the, the pah, whilst within all are quiet, or ' young.children enjoying themselves as if no care touched them. Without- are some . sixteen hundred armed meti; s an tries always'1* on the jratch," arid 'a* gun" pointed upon the
