Mr Dick trill stand for one of the cit y electorates, while Mr Henry Clarke is announced to stand for Brace. A. settler on the coast, two pr three milea from Dunedin, reports picking up a piece of wreckage, apparently belonging to a coaster, and seen what looked like the body of a man in the outer breakers, which were very heavy. In consequence of the decline of the pass senger traffic through quarantine regulations the Union Company have decided not to run their regular fortnightly trips via the East Coast to Sydney, bat to keep up comrounican tion by means of the Hero plying between Auckland and Sydney, making round trips every sixteen days. The monthly trip of the Wakatipu via Cook Strait will not be interfered with. The company's new steamer Manipori will arrive here in January, and the Wairarapa in April. Newplymoitth, 16 The Natives do not appear, to be acting under any definite instructions from To Wbiti in the matter of erecting fences, and consequently they have made no determined stand against the constabulary. They will probably deiiet from farther obstruction until the Pariheka meeting ia over, which takes phce to-day. It has been noticed that the Natives have not proceeded to Parihaka this month in their customary fashion, namely, with bu'lock-drays well loaded with provisions, but the majority of them hava travelled on foot. This shows, that the Maoris are getting hard up, and cannot make the customary presents. The correspondent of the Post wires to-day from Opunake as follows . — I attended Te Whiti's meeting. It wns estimated that the number present was 3000 including 1000 fighting men, but I think the number exaggerated. Te Whiti and Lottus speeches were of an inflammatory natureThe former stated that Pungarehu would be a living tomb for the constabulary if 20.000 of them came there. Disturbance is considered imminent.
