Excellency might have been comparing in that sunny moment the Government; houses of Auckland and Wellington, the former set upon a mound of beauty, embosomed in the arms of nature ; the latter exposed to the boisterous cutting ga'es of our windy capital. The Royal Engineers and Scotch Volunteers, under the commrtid of Major Gordon, assisted by Capt. Mowbray, fell into military lines, and Sir James, a soldier himself, stepped forward and inspected the men, dropping here and there an encouraging word in passing. On returning to the front His Excellency \vs.*i loudly ■ cheered, and lifting his hat, snid : Volunteers, ladies and gentlemen,—l thank you most heartily for turning out in such large numbers at such short notice to congratulate _mo on my first visit, and to give me a pleasing impression of your city. I shall always have a grateful recollection of the generous reception you have given me, and I hope we shall soon be come better acquainted. I thnak you for your public expression of goodwill, and trust the same feeling will be mutually encouraged and long continued between us. At the conclusion of bis Excellency's speech a thousand voices rose in harmonious hurrahs. The Volunteers then marched off the ground headed by the pipers, playing in a merry style "The Bonnie Hills of Scotland.'" The several bands of the Hobson Company, Royals, and Navals, were present, and played, several excellent airs as they passed in due order from the scene. LEVEE. As will be seen by a notice In our adver tising columns, that bis Excellency the Governor will hold a levee at Government House to-morrow, at two o'clock. AFTER APPEARANCES. The pageantry, the sounds of music, the hum of human voices, and the dusty foot falls of thousands who had left their homes for the purpose of seeing the new Governor, and enjoying the first fair holiday of spring, having passed away, a re-actionary lull—a hush-a-bystillness—came over the apparently deserted streets. The shops were closed with a few discreditable exceptions, and in other cases where the proprietors were obliged to keep open for the supply of cigars and tobacco, or because they could not afford to share in the general festivities. A few solitary individuals were to be seen linger ing at screet corners, here a lawyer, and there a councillor, talking of his Excellency, his particular gait, gentlemanly manners, and general appearance, but the majority of the sight-seekersj. the .young men, bonnie: Volunteers, and fcappy lasses, gaily clad, had passed either to the Domain or across the shining waters- of 'the Waitemata to the pleasant walks of the North Shore, until the rising of the Evening Star. FUTURE MOVEMENTS. After the reception, his Honor the Superin tendent, his Worship the Mayor, and other gentlemen, entered Government House to consider future proceedings. At the request of his Excellency it was determined to omit the proposed ball. The Governor will leave again for the South on Tuesday next, so that his stay in the province on this. occasion, will be very brief, and will W>il permit of any complimentary celebrations.. His Excellency has accepted the offer of the A.S.P. Company to place the steamer Golden* Crown at Ms disposal for the purpose of visiting the Thames ggldfields, and will pro ceed to that district on Saturday evening, starting it is expected about live o'clock.
