On Saturday we informed our readers of the opinion of the Magistrates regarding the native reports that bad been communicated to tbem on that day. Since then, occasion of fresh ex citement has arisen. At a late hour on Satur day night Mr White, the Native Kesident Ma gistrate, received from his assessors at Putiki intelligence that thpy had just received a let ter from the son of the late Hore Patene, in which they were desired to leave Putiki and come up the river, as it was intended that Wan ganui should be attacked on Sunday or Monday, and if they remained they would be killed as well as the Europeans. Mr White communi cated this intelligence to Colonel Logan, who immediately sent a letter to Major Dane, Resi dent Magistrate, with Mr White's note en closed, giving it as bis opinion that such a warning should not be slighted, and asking him to summon the Magistrates to a meeting to be held at 10 a.m, These gentlemen having heard what had taken place, gave Colonel Logan authority to take what measures be might think proper for the protection of the settlement, and a special messenger was des patched to Wellington to obtain authority from Dr Featherston, the Governor's deputy, to call out the Militia for actual service. In the course ofthefoienoou the following announcement was printed and posted in the town aud neighbor hood : — " Garrison Office, Bth May, 1864. , "The Officer commanding Militia and Vo lunteers will be good enough to take immediate steps for the assembly of as many mounted and dismounted volunteers from the Militia aud Volunteer Force under his command as pos- j sible, for such purposes as the officer command ing may require in the protection of the town, i reporting to this officer the probable numbers.
