The Governor's Departure.

BANQUET AT WELLINGTON.

[PER MtESh ASSOCIATION.] Wellington February, 12. The farewell banquet tendered to Lord and Lady Onslow by the Mayor took place at Bell?my's to-night. Tables were laid for eighty. Among those present were all the Ministers of the Crown (except the Colonial Secretary), Mr Chief Justice Prendergrast, Mr Justice Richmond, the local members of the House of Repre sentatives, the Hoes C. Johnston, Grace, and Hart, Captain Bourkeand the officers ■of H.M.S. Ringarooma, Sir James Hector, the members of the City Council, Harbor Board, the heads of the departments of the Civil Service, foreign consuls and others. Among the ladies present were the Countess of Onslow, Lady Hector, the wives of the Ministers and others. The Governor arrived shortly before eight o'clock, and the Permanent Artillery formed a guard of honor. Ths dininsr room was specially lit with the electric light. Speechmaking began much later than was expected, as the banquet, which was timed for 7.30, did not begin till some three-quarters of an hour after. The toast list was confined to the health of the Governor, Lady Ouslow, Her Majesty the Judges, His Excellency's Advisers, and representatives of foreign nations. The Mayor m proposing the main toast, defended the Governor from the charge of absenting himself too much from the capital by savins; it was part of his duty to make himself acquainted with all parts of the country the Queen had entrusted to his charge. He paid a high tribute to the good qualities of both the Earl and the Countess*.

Lord Onslow m responding was received ■with long and continued applause. Re ferring to his successor he said he had no personal acquaintance with him as he h*d come into the title since his departure from England. He knew, however, that 3ie had distinguished himself both an the navy and m the Crimea, and that the Countess was a lady ox ability and amiable disposition. Referring to public matters he might say that he had en deavoured to meet his ministers with con fidence an d his views had been reciprocated. "Whsre differences had taken place between him and his advisers he had en deavored to keep them from the public gaze. He thanked both Sir Harry Atkin son and Mr Ballance for the support ex pended to him. He briefly reviewed the financial state of the colony with approval and expressed the opinion that there was a great future beforeit; butthisiay largely m the hands of the people themselves. After a passing allusion to the drainage of Wellington, of which the mayor was a strong advocate, he thanked them for the honor done himself and the countess, and assured them that during his stay m the colony he had endeavored to do his best for the rich and the poor. Re ferring to Sir Harry Atkinson, Lord Onslow said whether he chose to continue m _ the dignified position he now occupied, or whether he would return to the battle of political life, there was no one amongst us who would not recognise thafc the services he had rendered to New Zealand, m the field and m the forum would ever be amongst the high stages m her history. The^Premier m replying to the toast of His Excellency's Advisers said though Parliament fairly represented the people, and the Government truly represented Parliament^ he regretted the departure of the Governor, who would carry back with him the respect of all parties. For another reason he was almost glad Lord Onslow was returning to England, as he would be able to assure timid people m the Mother Country that New Zealanders were not revolutionary people and had jiot a revolutionary Government. Again, he would be m a position to enlighten the people of England with regard to the resources and condition of the colony. He claimed that no colony under the sway fc of Queen Victoria possessed a truer a^egiance than New Zealand. They had no a nesire to separate themselves from the »eople of the United Kingdom. Much «s he rVgrefcted fche deParture of Lord ■Onslow he looked past it to the future of thatdistingukhed statesman, and although he would like to .see a short period of Mr -Gladstone m power he hoped they would see His Excellency s?ccupy a high and important position m tlitJ Govenment of JEngland. ' . The Premier's speech was received with applause. After the toast of " the representatives foreign nations " was honoured, the cony pany broke up.
