Mr. Parris on the Parihaka Difficulty.

THERE is little of interest generally in the Reports of Native Officers laid before Par liament. The main features of the reports are only of local interest. Mr Parris ia his report gives fresh matter about Te Whiti. After narrating the cause of the Parihaka campaign, Mr Parris says : Had Te Whiti been as wise as he vra* ambitious he might at this time ! have made, I have no doubt, very ' good terms with the Government in the matter of settling the land question in that distiict. The success achieved in the ejectment of the surveyors from the 'Wai mate plains inflated Te Whiti's vanity and the faith of his followers in his attainments, and thus led him on to the further aggres sive measure of sending out parties of natives to enter upon and plough the land of European settlers at seven different places, between Bawera and the "White OHUs. Six of the properties trespassed upon were portions of the confiscated territory which had teen granted to the .Europeans who were in occupation, and one wai part of a block of land ceded to the Crown in the year 1848. 'ihis new and siti'mlar proceeding on the part of 'I s Whiti caused great excitement throughout the district, but the forbearance of the settlers unbind the Government to deliberate and determine what course of action to pursue, and the result was that about 180 of the olt'enaerfl were arrested aud sent to gaol. Doubts being entertained by many as to whether Te Whiti had sanctioned the ploughing, I was requested to go to see °him and ascertain if he had authorised it. I accordingly paid a visit to Parihaka for this purpose, and on put tiDg the question to Te Whiti he replied most emphatically that he had authorised the ploughing and stated as his motive for doing it that iSii G. Grey, at the meeting with Kewi at Wai'ara, bad said, "He would plant a tree of peace whose branches would spread over the land," instead of which, in a very short time, he commenced stealin? the laud of the Waimate plains, and that he (Tc Whiti) had ordered the ploughing to prove Sir G. Grey's heart; to prove whether he wai a man of peace or not.

Mr Farris's remarks on the occupa tion of Parihaka and their results are interesting;- A Gazette Extraordinary was issued by the Administrator of the Government, which was delivered to Te Whiti, explaining the unsatisfactory posi tion of affairs, and giving fourteen days for consideration, and for a definite under ntanding. During the interval, agents of the Government visited Te Whiti in order to ascertain whetber or not he was disposed to make any proposition acceptable to the Government. The only explanation ob tained from him was that things must take their course. On the sth Aovember, a large force of Constabulary and Volunteers marchtd into Parihaka, and arrested Te WhiH and Toliu without any resistance, This, I believe, was a great relief to 1 c Whiti, and one which he had long desired. Notice was given to the natives belonging to the «ther party to disperse and return to their own places. There was no indication of their going away voluntarily, and a great deal of trouble was taken in separating them irom tlie other natives and escorting them long distances in the direction of their proper homes, to ensure their final depar ture. Great consideration was shewn for them by the natives living south of Wai ngongoro; they have gathere' a large quan. tity of fungus which they have sold to pur chase food, aud, during the autumn, tbere ia indigenous food which they use when on fhort commons, but their prospects during the winter, and until the next sea son's crops are ready for use, would be very serious if they were not allowed to fall back on their crops at Paribaka for a mainten ance.

Upon the present attitude of the natives, Mr Parris says :—" The present state of mind of the natives is one of uncertainty for the future. Their faith in Te Whiti is as strong as ever, and they talk of a re union being near at band, but if the course now being pursued towarde Te Whiti and Tohu is continued long enough I do not anticipate much more trouble." He con cludes a long letter thus: —''As regards the practical result of Te Whiti's leadership of the Maoris on the West Coast, it i 8 perhaps hardly too much to say that if he had shaped his course with the special intention of enabling the Government to tide over without bloodshed a period during which there was a constant risk of collision be tween the races, but during which the Government (from want of funds or other causes) was not in a position to compel sub mission without involving the colony in a ruinous war, ho could not have been more successful in accomplishing this difficult tas-k. It would, of course, be absurd to impute to Te Whiti a desire to prepare the way for the final bloodless victory of the forces at Parihaka, but it should, I think, always be remembered in his favour that it is mainly in consequence of his strong personal dislike to bloodshed and violence that this happy result has been obtain able."

SKETCH OF ADMIRAL SEYMOUR.

Ik a sketch o! the engagement at Pukeia kauerc, Taranaki, where Captain (now Admiral) Seymour was wounded in the leg, the "Sydney Morning Herald" gives the following sketch of the officer who directed the bombardment of Alexandria :— Seymour's wound did not heal rapidly, an d it was near the middle of August before he could make the short voyage to New Ply. mouth, where he remained until sufficiently recovered to resume duty at the Waitara. He was then about 40 years of age, and might be described as a distinguished look ing Englishman. In manner he was reserved and haughty; he appeared to be fonder of readiug than of social intercourse with his fellow-officers. His men generally spoke of him as a stern disciplinarian, and one little camp incident tended to confirm the opinion. There was no grogshop, Bly or other, in the camp, so that a sailor was deprived of the privilege of getting drunk. At noon, and at 4 p.m. daily, the grog call was sounded, and each man was served with a "tot" of rum, which he had to drink at the tub, and under the eyes of a subaltern officer. But no intoxicant, from beer to brandy, could be purchased. For the officers' mess, however, the liquors that Britons love were '.obtained in cases and casks from New Plymouth, and it happened that one night two of Seymour's fellows knocked in the top of a cask of bottled ale, and draDk till they lay down drunk among the straw and the bottles. A third son of Neptune adopted a bolder expedient. Dciplnng alOf.lio provided himself with a long straw, pulled up one or two of the pegs of the huge commissariat tent, crept under the flap, crawled about till he dis covered the mm barrel, levered the bung out with his jack knife, inserted bis straw, and sucked till he lost his reckoning, and, fancying himself at sea, sbouted som<s ocean songs, and was promptly consigned to the guard. The inevitable court-martial followed ; and st daybreak one morning all the blue-jackels were marched to the blockhouse near the mouth of the river to witness the infliction of 24 lashes upon each of the grog-stealers. Probably the culprits did not care nearly so much for the cat-o'-nine-tails as for the chaff which was liberally bestowed npon them for weeks afterwards by their camp comrades, But Seymour's men knew that his nature had another side. "When one of them was moi tally wounded at the storming ojf a pah some two or three miles inland of Pukc takauere, the writer remembers how Sey njour spent hours of each ofthe dying mac's tew days in reading to and chatting wish him. It only remains to be said when the regiments arrived from England and India the services of the blue-jackets were no loDger imperatively required, and they returned to the Pelorus. Before he left the Waitara camp Seymour had become a. commodore. Many of those who were with him in that insignificant struggle in Maoriland lo»t sight of him through the 20 years which intervened between the disastrous retreat cf Puketakauere and the triumphant bom bardment of Alexandria,

RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE.

His tame arises from the fact that the British Constitution has thrice been violated in his person.
