Upon reaching the wharf th« procession halted in front of the platform, erected at the lower end of Queen-street. The Cavalry drew up in line in front of the platform. His Excellency alighted from the carriage amidst loud cheering, when His Worship the Mayor stepped forward and read the following address : — " To His Excellency Sir Georg» Ferguson Bowen, G.C.M.G., Governor and Com mander-in-Chief of New Zealand. " May it please your Excellency :— " We the Mayor, Councillors And Citizens of the city of Auckland beg to express our regret on the departure from New Zealand of your Excellency, Lady Bowen And family. We are deeply sensible of tke valuable services rendered by your Excellency to this colony during your Excellency's administra tion as Governor, and we feel that by your Excellency's removal a great loss is sustained by the city of Auckland and the colony generally. At the same time we congratulate your Excellency on the especial mark of favour evinced by our Gracious Sovereign in appointing your Excellency to so important a Government as that of Victoria. Ih bidding your Excellency farewell we heartily wish that every happiness that the Disposer of ail Good can bestow may attend your Ex«<allency and Lady Bowen and family. " Signed on behalf of the Corporation of the City of Auckland. " P. A. Philips, " Mayor. " F. Brodie, "Toww Clerk." His Worship said : " Allow mo to add that this address very poorly pourtrayu the feel ings which the people of Auckland entertain towards your Excellency, and I wish you every prosperity in the future." His Excellency the Governor, in reply, said :—

" Mr Mayor and Gentlemen, — " I shall always hold in proud *nd grateful remembrance the hearty welcome which the citizens of Auckland « gave me on my first arrival here five years ago, and not less their hearty farewell on my &nal depar ture from this country. " I assure you that Lady Boweu and 1 will never forget what was so long our happy home ia your fair city, nor the fact that one of our children is by birth a citizen of Auck "ln my reply to one of the addresses pre sented to me here on my first landing I expressed a hope that we should leave New Zealand 'without the consciousness of a single duty wilfully neglected, or of a single enmity wilfully provoked.' It is a treat satis faction to feel that this hope has be*tt fulfilled. In conclusion, Mr Mayor and G<mtlemen, I thank you for the constant courtesy and respect shown me by the Corporation of Auckland, and I pray that the blessing of Providence may rest on this City and Pro vince and on the whole Colony of New Zealand." _ „

At the conclusion of the reading of the address and reply there was loud cheering. His Worship the Mayor called for three times three for his Excellency and La^y Bowen, which were heartily given. The Governor called for three* cheers for Auckland, which was also warmly responded

to. His Excellency then walked down the wharf accompanied by Sir «.*orge A. Arney and Lady Bowen, leaning on the arm of his Worship the Mayor. the entry to the whaj.». The various friendly societies mow moved forward on to the wharf, and toot up their

positions on either side, forming an avenue between which the Governor and suite passed. The various companies of Volunteers were drawn up in line at the fetid of the wharf as a guard of honour. As His Excellency and esteemed lady stopped from the carriage the Volunteer band played the National Anthem amidst great cheering. After the vice-regal party had embarked the visitors on board were ordered ashore. The Hero steamed away from the wharf dur ing a salute of seventeen guns ttom Fort Britomart.

Mr Inspector Broham, with his veil-organ ised police force, was present on the ground during the day to preserve order, but for tunately his services were not required for any serious breach of the peace. There was of course at various times a good deal _of hustlingjandSjcrushing, but it wa* all carried o^withjgood. humour.

THE SHIPWRIGHTS OF AUCKLAND.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Dear Sir,— If you can find space in your valuable paper for a word or two on Captain Casey's resolution that he intends to bring forward at the next meeting of the Harbour Board you will be greatly obliging the shipwrights of this place. I saw by the Serald last week that he intends to bring forward—" That no master shipwright shall have a place leased to him by the Harbour Board unless he has got three apprentices so that the supply of shipwrights may be kept no " Now Capt. Casey knows well that there are far toomany of these men in the place, and always have been, for the work there is for them to do. And he must know that the majority of the shipwrights in this place for the past month have clone nothing at the trade whatever ; and to take the year round they do not work more than seven months out of the twelve, and some of the masters themselves cannot find work to do part of the time, much less keep three apprentices And 1 know for the past three weeks the men might be seen in groups of sometimes eleven and twelve, and I, myself one morn- W counted thirteen. Go wherever you mfy about the wharf you will find them HLve been in Auckland six years, and I never saw the time when they could not be lit You may find them sailing some of our toasters or driving carts, or keeping cows. These are things they would not do if there 4as sufficient work at the trade for them There may be a time now and then that all ttmse Un The place that stick to the trade are employed, but it is very rare. Talk about keepS up the supply of shipwrights. Yes I can understand it, especially if he thinks that the men are going on the Grid iron to work. It would take more than three wVentices to each master then to keep up Kupply! for that thingthey call agndiron would kill all the shipwrights m New Zealand other land. Any time Capt. Casey waKi shipwright, or a dozen let him come to^the foot of Albert-street.— I am, fco., A Shipwright.

NEW ZEALAND AS IT IS.

Anthony Trollope sends the last of his graphic letters on our Australiasian colonies to the Daily Telegraph, dated Auckland, October. Since that date the accomplished novelist, has, as we know, left the southern seas for this country, but the account of " New Zealand as it is," with which he con cludes his series, was "written in the colony itself, and has all the vigour and freshness belonging to personal impressions. He says : —One of the consequences of the unfortunate wars in New Zealand has been the growth of somh ill-feeling in the colony against the governing powers at home. This feeling, hewever, seems to be gradually abating. The agricultural and commercial prosperity of the Southern Island, and, indeed of New Zealand altogether — that pros perity which has given the colony its character —has been achieved in the pro vinces of Otago and Canterbury, where no Maoris have disturbed the operations of the White settlers, where the land has all fallen into the hands of the White man, where wheat has grown luxuriantly, and the indigenous grasses of the country have been fit for sheep. Otago, the southern most province, is the earlier in date ; yet though the senior of Canterbury, Otago is only twenty-three years old. It was origin ally founded as a Scotch settlement intended for Presbyterians. The Scotch element still prevails very strongly in Otago, and is to be traced in the general prosperity of its settlers and the excellency of its capital, Dunedin ; but the special or severe Presbyterian element is not continued in any very marked manner. As in Otago it had been the in tention of the founders to establish a Pres byterian settlement, so at Canterbury the first comers had resolved to plant a colony devoted to the Church of England. The wages of a laborer in Canterbury are about the same as in Otago. With reference to the choice of the North or South Island for intending emigrants to New Zealand, I think the man with the capital should go to Canterbury or Otago, the poor man to Auckland or Wellington. New Zealand is divided into provinces, each with a separate Government; and each province has a superintendent, elected for four years. There are four such provinces in the North Island, and four in the South. This was arranged by the Constitution given to the colony in 1852. The provinces in the North Island are Auckland, at the extreme north, running down South till it includes the greater part of the entire island ; Taranaki, and Hawke's Bay, small provinces on the west and east coast; and Wellington, in the south. Down to 1864 Auckland was the seat of the government, but then, owing to the growing population and wealth of the Southern Island, and the natural jealously which was felt at sending her members to an assembly so far north, the capital was removed to Wellington, a small town on the north of Cook's Strait, which divides the two islands. None the less should Auckland be regarded as the representative town of New Zealand. In size, it is about equal to Dunedin, the principal town of the south, containing, with its suburbs, about 20,000 inhabitants. It was here that the government was seated for many years, and that the wars with the Maories were conducted. To the south of the town is the Waikato valley—a fine agricultural district, which has been con fiscated from the natives since 1564, is now held by English agricultural settlers, and looks like a part of England. It may be remarked of New Zealand generally that the prevalence of artificial grasses, and the con sequent division of the land into comparatively small fields, gives to much of the colony an appearance far more English than anything that can be found in Australia. The province contains nearly 17 millions of acres, and of these above 11 million are still possessed by the natives. The Europeans hold less than 3 millions. The remainder consists of waste lands, still in the hands of the Government. I found, almost by common consent, that it hardly pays a farmer to grow wheat for the market —the difficulty of carriage and the high price of labouj being the stumbling blocks. Great efforts, however, are being made to overcome the latter hindrance by the construction of railways and roads. The natural baths and warm rivers of New Zea land belong almost exclusively to the province of Auckland. Mr Trollope says:—I travelled through the whole district, bathed in nu merous natural warm baths, and just escaped being boiled ahve in numberless hot springs. Before many years have passed roads will be made, coaches and boats will run, hotels will have been built, and these wonderful lakes will be the thronged resort of tourists. Roto Mahana is certainly a place of exquisite charms. All round the shores are hot jets of scalding water, scalding steam —and, worse still—scalding mud. As you walk among them and hear stories of Maori girls and Maori old men who have been boiled alive, it is impossible to avoid the reflection that such a fate is open to yourself. I am told that on occasions some of these geysers rise to great altitudes, and I heard of one estima ted at 300 feet when in full force. The jets were not doing their best t when I visited i them; I doubt whether I saw any water thrown 30 feet high.
