SUPPLEMENT TO THE AUCKLAND EVENING STAR.

THE SUPPER.

IL adjournment was made at half-past I II felock for the sapper. The following . I SNid gentlemen led into the supper ' 1!: i^—His Worship the Mayor and Lady [ anby, His Excellency the Governor i Us Mayoress, Sir George A. Arney and I ] pollen, Dr. Pollen and Mr*. Williamson, jd, McLean and Mrs. Reader Wood, and Honor the Superintendent and Mrs. 'i Lbam. ||p conclusion of the supper, His Wor the Mayor rose and said: As loyal •Hi of Her Majesty the Queen, there is a •-hich is not to be forgotten. I there ,-k you, in your usual loyal manner, to I The health of Her Majesty the 1 & toast was drunk with cheers. Ihe'MAYOIt: Again I have a pleasant duty It is to ask you to again fill ir glasses. Having shewn our loyalty to i jMoit Gracious Sovereign, our next duty I be that of drinking to the Royal Prince, rat some future (lay will reign over us. list, however, it may be very long before takes place, and that Her Majestyynay 1 tlong and reign over us, as she has done, i fjperously. But when the time does come, SLave a representative of the Koyal House twill please us equally with Her Majesty. ilk you to drink to the Prince and Princess IfVales, the P»ke and Duchess^of Edin-.. igh, and the rest of the Royal Family. |fcunk with cheers. ;, IrheiMayor: I may state that I think! ml iot be\ considered by the ladies to be §pg any wrong in hurrying you from the jfauet, as I fancy the ball-room has rather fro attraction for them, but we have ||her duty to perform, and I will ask you, Shout exception, ladies and gentlemen, to J your glasses. Presuming that you have fe so, I will now ask you to cordially pond to the toast which I am about to kg under your notice. As you are aware, ([have had recently landed amongst us a leman, one of whom I am sure New Zea jE. will be proud. If we may judge from Itwe have heard of his previous career as mtvpfnoT and ruler of one of Her Majesty's unions, I feel quite satisfied that the colony ew Zealand will have nocause to regret the cc her Most Gracious Majesty has made. i not for me in this instance to refer to or sh upon the politics of the country. We supposed this evening to eschew these, vy subjects ; but I may make one aUu-; I which will, perhaps, not be out of Se. It is that His Excellency has arrived jnngst us at a time when I may say we are jtoeace with our native population. Some ||y years back the country—and more tecially this northern province—was in a fur disturbed state, and it then took the Ible of our energies and skill to try,,, and p the rebellion. ©tit I am glad to B his Lordship's;.energy wiuf not Jfce I fight into requisitioil for the purpose of J ping a rebellion. There is nonnecessity j fthat at the present time; peajce reigns I lughout New Zelland, and;^the: nia j! I population are aware that civilisation ! I its usages is to their advan |j 11. as much as to the European tiers. They are fully alive to that fact, il say, therefore, that His Lordship will Igmply called upon to assist the residents iNew ZeKSid in developing' the valuable iurces the colony abounds in. It is much iie pleasant to the colonists of New Zea || to have their attention turned in that |! Ifction than to be compelled to have it I 1 bred upon that of. deeds of bloodshed.,.

I jfih these few remarks I will request you I Irink heartily to the health arifr-Jjong life llais Lordship the Governor. % g lifhe toast was most enthusiastically re flpded to. X 9 11jlis Excellency, on rising, was received llh prolonged applause. He said: Mr. ji for, ladies and gentlemen,—l thank you jl I jliaUy for the Trind manner in which iiljjjf have received the toast which lljl just been proposed to you, and ijjfiank you also for, the cordial welcome llch you have given us to your province. IJsinot vain enough to suppose that this jllption has been accorded to me, coming as If amongst you as a perfect stranger, for UKmerits of .my own. I attribute it rather I that feeling of loyalty which I know from llprience exists in all of Her Majesty's lilniies which I have had the opportunity of Sfibing;,! attribute it to that spirit of |pty which induces you to receive with ipaJity the person to whom Her Majesty Been pleased to entrust the government lour colony. I rejoice in that feeling. I ■not surprised at it, however, because I Iw that of all countries in the world there flbnei which enjoys that free, entire liberty Ich is enjoyed by the English people. Sleers.) In later years it has been the wise j icy of the British Government t to extend illiberal and free constitution^.ydiich fthe lltjountry enjoys to her colonies. JThe 1 Inies now possess a constitution a« itee Mas liberal as any in the world. If you He a difficulty which you wish to overcome, Ku have reforms which you wish to make; jKere is;?any mismanagement 'jiii Ithe Go ittuneiit of the colony, you have the remedy ■your . own hands in -a constitutional ]■ proper fanner. (Loud cheers.) It Before rests with yourselves to take care B the Government is conducted in the Kner in which you think best. I have Bnd, even in England, some people who Kid uphold a republican form of govern- Kt. I own, myself, I look upoathemas Honaries, because, excepting in name, I ■ntain that in England we have the best Bible system of republican govern m^ without any of its evils. (Cheers.) K*liawo«^a Queen who i» '"beloved, "by"all'/" ler" sub s, who takes the pllee of a president Republic. In this manner we are saved the difficulties and all the dangers which sad the election periodically of a new sident; but with that: one -exception,' *mainfcain - that, every possible)! good: eh can be obtained..;. lay thSe:ißepub ri' form of Government is better and re securely obtained by the Constitution Sngland. You, Joining in and enjoying a Uar Constitution in the colonies, are Harally bound to the mother country. X" bond which unites her colonies to Eng n may be, in some respects, compared to Blken thread. It is light, but it is strong jHteel and hard as aasinant. It is formed IB mutual self-interest and mutual self |Beot, and so long as that feeling exists flentertain no fear of any difficulty |Hhreen the mother country and her Mppies, and long may th« day be de , |ir d when any difficulty of toy kind may |Hi, Having so lately aniv«d among you, ™It must excuao my entering into any parti jlffitrs of the country of New Zealand.

(Hear, W lit. low v^!t re; I 1 Oltt only •"«• yo^St

I may possess, will be devoted to the utmost in endeavouring to assist you in developing and promoting the interests of the colony. (Prolonged cheers.) The Mayor, in proposing my health, alluded to the different circum stances under which I assumed the govern ment of this colony to those which existed not many years ago. There is no one that can re joice more in that difference than I do my self. It is a lamentable thing in a country to see two races warring against one another, and I trust that the peace which now reigns is permanent, and that by a system of equal justice to all, of equal administration of laws to all, the Maori race will find that it is as much to their advantage, as I am sure it is to the advantage of the colonists themselves, that peace and good feeling should exist be tween the two races. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I will not trespass upon your time, as the Mayor has already alluded to other attractions in the other room; but I will thank you cordially for the very kind manner in which you have re ceived me in your province. I trust that though this is the first visit we have paid to you, it will be far from the last. Before I sit down let me drink success, prosperity, and happiness to the province of Auckland. The gentlemen present joined His Ex cellency in drinking this toast, and the Marquis resumed his seat amidst pro longed applause. ;rSir George Arney was loudly cheered upon rising. He said: Ladies and Gentle men, —I regret to say that the toast which has been confided to my care is not v one that is fraught with pleasant, associations of the present or. bright hopes of the future, but that it is tinged only with the melancholy past. You are all well familiar with the trite maxim of "welcome the coming, speed the parting guest." We are endeavouring to welcome the Marquis and most noble lady who have hon oured us., with their society this evening. I will ask you not to drink to the memory— though it be to the memory—of his pre sence, but to the health and happiness of the late Governor Sir James Ferjpsson. As this is so, and as I have to deal with the past, my voice must sound like the curfew knell of departing day. When I speak of the past, I cannot help looking to the past, and casting- my mind over the successive Governors we have had ; and I- congratulate the" noble Marquis upon his" succession ; to .office. My own experience tells me, despite whas the poet says, that the good-that men dp lives after them, andthe pleasing recol lection of those'gentlemen whbnave ruled over us still reigns in our hearts. I recollect that high-minded gentleman, Colonel Goreßrowne, who first experienced the difficulties—and they were then many—of governing New Zealand ; and I know well that I am speak ing the feelings of those present when I say how "thoroughly they respect, regard, and venerate him. He was succeeded by a man of loftier genius, who has devoted the larger portion "pf his life in'endeavours to con ciliate native races to the Government of the. Crown of England. *Ite still lives amongst us. No man perhaps ever met with more opposition in the course of his career; none had to deal with subjects which called for more debate in public opinion, and yet I am sure when we recollect that he is still living amongst us on his beautiful island, the Kawau, and manifesting a strong interest in the welfare of the colony in which his hopes* are centred, we shall still look back with pride to the name of Sir George Grey. (Cheers.) The last time I stood in this room I believe..we heard the voice, and I seem to hear it no*r, of that accomplished scholar,t Sir George^ Bowen. Hevlikewise has left us, and was succeeded by the late Governor; whose health I ask you now to drink. He, indeed, was but a short time amongst us, and yet Lbelieve it is not merely my owji opinion, and the Amount of friendship he was pieced; to loriou* nt&with,4hat glvesihe theimt>re||ion IhatJbjßHeve that the colpiiy had only began to appreciate his administrative powers when he was called to other engagements, and was induced to resign the government. You—many of you—will recollect that the words with which he left these shores were those in which he bade us welcome the coming Governor, and assured us of the virtues, energies, and talents of the noble Marquis who is now amongst us. I am aware the language of compliment is that almost of rudeness, and it would be needless for me to make any remarks upon the eloquent address, shewing how thoroughly he appreciates the position of the colony, and how thoroughly well he will fill the place Her Majesty has appointed him to. If I were to presume to comment upon the qualities of the late Governor, I should be taking upon myself a task which does not belong to me, and should have preferred to have left that task'to those gentlemen who have been associated with him in the government of the colony, as for instance to the mellifluous speech of Dr. Pollen, or to the manly eloquence of Sir Donald McLean and others, who. I believe will all ad mit that he was a man specially ex perienced in the tactics of business,. well qualified to administer the government of the* colony,, weU :; versed in?constitutional principles,; and well fitted td-ihine in the ■colony, if he was with us/- He has passed from us, and with him that-frail, delicate, and interesting lady- who bo, well pre sided over par Society.'? Theylare now on the ocean ;buti;pe. can drink their health. | May they long live, and live, as I hope thfy will, in the recollection of the people of New Zealand. The toast was responded to enthusiasti cally. - | Sir Donald McLean : I shall not detain you for many minutes, but cannot hear mentioned the name of the Governor who has departed from these shores without responding to his health, and begging to tender, in his absence, my best thanks for the very cordial. manner in which This health was drunk. As the Ministry have been referred to by Sir George Arney, I may say that no person could have stronger or deeper interest in the colony than the departed Governor, and I -heartily thank you ■for the ... manner in which you;haye drank^hishealth. (Cheers.) His Honor the:^ Superintendent? I hope the Committee will pardon me for say ing that they have fallen into a great mis take in inviting me to propose the ladies. Why, ? ye have two; worthy and valiant knights amongst us who would in more be coming language than I can employ call upon you to respond to the toast of " The Ladies." I must ask you to excuse me for any short-comings I may make. I propose to yon a toast, which I sincerely feel that every colonist should receive joyously, gladly, affectionately, I may say rapturously. The colonists in New Zealand are largely dependent for their comfort, their happiness and support upen the ladies. And those who wander about, as it is my official duty to do sometimes, away from the city circle to. the isolated places in the forests and wilds of New Zealand, must ascertain for them selves, and experience the value of the ladies wherever they go. Throughout the country we find, whether in the nut or in comfortable homesteads, that the ladies are the chief support, mainstay, and succour of those who have gone away into the wilds to cultivate the lands of the country. Let me tell you that the ladies have a noble work in these outlying districts in bringing up their children to »ucc««d tti,—l trust as

happy and worthy colonists. But, gentle men, I might say a great deal to commend to you a cordial response to this toast if I be lieved it to be necessary. But no persuasion is needed in a company of Englishmen or Australian gentlemen, for w,herever you find them, but more especially in New Zealand and Auckland, a hearty response will be given. But, now, I will call upon the ladies, as well as the gentlemen, to respond to that portion of the toast which has been assigned to me. Politicians were watching on the tiptoe of expectation during the whole of last week for the arrival of the noble lord who is to govern and rule us. But the ladies, were they not anxious to see that noble lady who is about to take her place at the head of society in this colony ? The fame and reputation of Lady Normanby had reached us before we saw her ladyship. She has only come here from a sister colony, and we have read what regret, indeed what sorrow, was felt at parting from her. We earnestly hope an epportunity will be tendered to her ladyship to live amongst us, and to set that good example which comes not merely from high station, but from the lofty virtues which her ladyship possesses. After a few more words, the speaker proposed " The health of her Ladyship the Marchioness of Nor manby," and called for a hearty response, which was freely accorded. His Excellency, in reply, said: Mr. Mayor, ladies. and. gentlemen,—l have to thank,youfor the-kind manner in which Lady frormanby's health has been coupled with that of the ladies of Auckland -by his Horfor the Superintendent. I cannot help thanking you on Lady Normanby's behalf for the kind manner in which you have received that toast. As an old married man, it is not my business to return thanks for the ladies in general, but as far as Lady Normanby is concerned, I return sincerely^ my thanks. lam sure it will always gitft her the greatest pleasure and satisfaefciblfe-to join with the ladies either of Auckland or any other part of New Zealand in any works which may be for the well-being of the colony, and I trust we shall often be able to revisit Auckland, when she will have an opportunity of again meeting the ladies of this town.
