WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1889.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the need that we can do.

The long delay in the arrival of His Excellency the Govornor, together with the subsequent uncertainty, the incon venient hour fixed lor the landicg, and the general incompleteness of the ar rangements, militated against the success of to-day's demonstration. Auckland has never forgotten the traditions of the capital, and the citizens feel their honour at stake on such oc casions. Asa city, we have welcomed every Governor that has ruled New Zea land, and in point of display it must be confessed that to-day's proceedings were the poorest we have ever seen. Still in the moat essential respect of cordiality and a desire to demonstrate the un flinching loyalty and affection of the colonists for the good old flag, the feel ' ings of the citizens aro in no respect different to day from those that have given lifo and animation to the public celebrations on other occasions when the popular sentiments were exhibited under more favourable surround ings. No less anxious are the citizens of Auckland, we believe, to give tho new representative of Her Majesty a favourable impression of the country and its people. It would be unjust to the colonists to suppose that demonstrations of this Kind aro prompted by any mere hero-worship, or innate servility among the masses. The tendency of colonial thought and feeling is in the very opposite direction. The people of New Zealand are law-abiding, faithful to the Constitution and political institutions of the country, ready to support and uphold those who are appointed to administer the affairs of the State, and prond of the Great Em pire of which this colony forms an integral part. These feelings all firid expression in tho periodical public celebrations in honour of the arrival of our Governors. But the universal.

devotion to that form of popu lar government which has bam conferred on the colony by tho Im perial Parliament also renders the peoplo jealous of their rulers and perhaps not very mindful of tho dilli oulties and perplexities of an exalted public position. In receiving a new Governor with open arms the colonists wisli to mako it apparent that if the futuro relations between tho Queen's roprcsontalivo and tho peoplo aro not of the most cordial character it shall be no fault of theirs. Thoy Heck to establish and maintain an understanding of a porfectly har monious and agrooablo chr.caottir, and render tho stay of the Governor in his new sphoro pleasant to himself and profitable to tho country. Thoso wishes have, on tho wholo, been very happily realised in tho past. No de pendoncy has been more fortunate in tho maintenance of cordial relations with tho occupants of the chief oflice under tho Constitution, and no o Mintry possessos in climate, natural beauty, tho unostontatiousness and simplo tiißtca of tho people, and the handsome character of tho remunora tion attached to tho gubernatorial oflico—ho many attractions for tho enjoyment of oilicial life. Tho few colonies in which tho salary in higher, havo tho drawbacks of an extravagant and populous capital or a bad olimato, or bothevilscombined. Hut in Now Zealand tho Governor's linos aro cast in exceed ingly pleasant placos. The tastes, tho feelings, and sympathies of the people are thoroughly English, nnd tho public questions, borne by a Parliament and Responsible Government, aro not beset with any intricacies that need worry or alarm a constitutional Governor. Tho appointmont is ono of tho most uttractivo in tho gift of tho English Crown ; and wo feel assured that the universal wish of tho colonists of Now Zealand is that its new possessor, Sir Arthur Gordon, may hold it with satisfaction nnd pleasure to himself and benefit to tho peoplo. It is hardly necessary to add that ho will realise theso hopes and expectations most completely by keeping himself clear of all cliques and parties, and by giving the fullest possible expression to tho Constitution of the colony, which vests all tho governing and administrative power in tho hands of tho Parliament and its Responsible Executive

THE numerous telegrams about the present of books mado by Sir Julius Vogol to the public schools—tho auuounccmcnts of the gift, the messages about ita arrival, aud tho votes of thanks passed by every Education Board iv tho colony, and other species of gratuitous advertising, havo created a mis apprehension respecting tho extent aud character of this donation. The appetites of school committees have been whetted, and tho curiosity of pupils aroused. ludeed there is a pre vailing impression that Kir J uliu*, with his customary habit of doing everything on a maguiticcnt scitln, hat tout out a whole shipload of books. These pleasure able anti cipations aro doomed to some disappoint niout. The share of tho Vogel prize which falls to Auckland is one work for the Auck land College i\ml Grammar School, one for tho Girls' High School, aud two to be givon to the highest unsuccessful competitor iv the scholarship examinations. Tho division was made by Mr llialop, Chief Inspector, at the request of Sir Julius Vogcl. As the soholars of the public schools sutler disap pointment iv the matter of this windfall it has been suggested tint parents and others interested in education ehould subscribe a numbers of suiUbto prizes for Christmas presentation. A few gifts of this kind aio very productive of healthy emulation, aid servo to encourage deserving lads to special exertion. If tho school committee would take the initiative thero would, we imagine, bo no dillicnlly, considering the thousands of children attending our city schools, in securing ready and liberal support for the movement.

Wo hear that letters havo been received from Judge Gillies by the Hero, stating that His Honor and Mrs Gillies will comn ou to Auckland by the Zcalandia, arriving übout the 7th prox.

A meeting in favour of the Wesleynu Home Missions was held last evening ia tho Ponsonby Koad Chapel, Mr J, L. Wil son in the chair. Tho meeting opened with the reading of a chapter Jsxiah 11, and a hymn by the choir. Addresses on tho work of the mission were delivered by the chairman, Revs. Boon, and Grillin, and Mr Richard Arthur. The proceedings wore of a very interesting nature, interspersed by singing, and concluded with votes of thanks.

Several tenders for the supply of 600 yards of broken blue metal, for cer tain repairs to the stone wall of Mount Smart 'Reserve, and the passing of the cur rent accounts for payments completed the business.

The Jews in Paris celebrated tbeir great fete of llosch Hanab, or commencenieiit oi the New Year, preceding by a week the feast of the Great Pardon, in September. It is curious, as marking the progress of inquiry and dissent, to note theexistence of a " young Jewish " party demanding relaxa tions of the strict Mosaic and traditional ceremonial of the Jewish people ; they want to be allowed to light fires, smoke, ride on horseback or in carriages and railways, on tbo days 011 which those actions arc now forbidden ; the list point being loudly demanded by Jews at their country seats, at watoriug places, &c, who, it they came to the nearest town to take part in the cele brations of their faith, arc put to great ex pense and inconvenience by the existing regulations. It is computed that the J

now number 7,000,000, of whom 5,000.0(10 reside in Europe. There are 49,000 Jews iv France, and there must be a much greater number in Germany, for they number 45,000 iv Berlin alone.

'Iho following nucouut of a firo nt Cuptain Morria' is tjiven in tho " Bay of Plenty Times " : - Just at dusk on Monday evening (i very large conflagration wan to bo observe! in the direction ot l'oeki, and speculation was rife iv town an to ils exact locality, and whether it was an intentional or an uccidoutul lire. It turns out that Captain Morris desired to burn oil'sonic fern for tho ]>urposo of miikine: a new pnddock, and no startad tho Tiro with, ns it appeared, every prospect of its being carried iv the rit»ht direction. The element, however, speedily proved itself Captain Morrit' master, nnd lie then strovo all in his power to check, or at least divert it. The result of the fire han bo»n to inflict serious damauo to all tho feuces and paddocks that came within its reach, though it was fortunately too far distnnt to injure any of the build iiißs. Captain Morris estimates it will cost bctweeu £300 and £400 to repair tho damage, including tho necessary labour to bo undergone ia clearing by hand.

A fow facts not so generally known as they should bo :—A watch fitted with n second hand need not necessarily ho a second baud watch. Doctors generally agree about blecdiog their patients. Steam is a servant that sometimes blows up its master. An uugrammatical judge is apt to pass an in correct sontouco. Any fool cau make a woman talk, but its bard to mako one listen. A thorn iv tho bush is worth two iv the hand.

A curious story Is related in tho "Mort lake Despatch." According to that journal a few years ago a man died in tho neighbour hood, whoso career had boon n most event ful one. When in tho old country ho mar ried early, and was soon afterwards com pelled to leave his country for his country's good, and at his country's expense. His wife remained behind until she could earn enough to follow, and as soon as possible camo to Victoria with tho hopo of meeting and rejoining her husband. When sho arrived "in Melbourne, she heard that her husband was dead, and years afterwards .sho married again. With her second husband she came to the neighbourhood of Teraug, uud there, to her amazement, i-hu found her liret husband living and well. Mutual explanations fol lowed, and finding that sho had been faith ful until his reported death, they all agreed to live together. For years these three poranm with their children lived and loved in the samo house. Thero were no quarrels and everything appeared satisfactory, and she became tho mother of twenty-one chil dren. At length death entered tho hut, and carried off lmsbaud No. 1. Strange to gay, they both sincerely mourned his death, and now tho surviving couple live together in peace and contentment, surrounded by their happy, though numerous, family."

MUKDKIt OF TURKISH OFFICIALS,

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15,

Advices daily received from Dulcigno confirm the nevrfl previously to hand con cerning the determination of the Albanian citizens to resist at all hazards the demands made upon them. On the other band, the Porte seems equally resolved not to permit further delay. Dcrvisch Patha, in pursu ance of the agreement arrived at with the chiefs ot the League, despatched certain ollicials to the town with instructions to publicly notify the terms upon which the surrender would be made. Whilst in the act of reading those conditions the officials were suddenly attacked and shot by the citizens, who thus manifested their repu diation of the undertaking subscribed by their leaders. So far as is at pnesent known, none of tbo ollicials succeeded iv effecting their escape. It is expected that Dcrvisch Pusha will now have recourse to forcible measures, which were threatened dajs ago.

Arrival of the Son of Man

(By a Taranaki Resident.)

This interpretation on the Governor's ad vent is ascribed to Te Whiti, who following in the wake ot many of his superstitious Pakeha brethren believe florae great event is to take place in the coming year.

Wo arc all acquainted with tho pro phetic words ascribed to Mother Shipton, but eince proved an interpolation to finish up a verse.

In Eighto*n Hundred and Eighty-ono Then the end of tho world shall come."

But Te Whiti prophesies the coming of the Sou of Man, and the restoration ot all things in the coming year, the Son of Man being Sir Arthur Gordon, whose fame as the friend of tho aboriginal race has gone before him, reaching the remote and sylvan shades of Parihaka, causing rejoicing in thn heart of the Mauri prophet who expects from information received from the friendly Pakeha, that the new Governor will look upon the Mnorisasadown-trcdden and oppressed race, and holding thu whip of gubernatorial power in frowning menace over the heads of the harsh pakeha task masters, will restore to the oppressed race the whole of their lands, thus bringing about that happy millenium so often pre dicted by tho Maori prophet. We sincerely hope that the new Governor, trusting to his pa?t experience in treating with chiefs of the native race in Polynesia, will uot be too hasty in interviewing either the so-called Maori King or Maori prophet, especially tli's latter, in whom he will find an intellect for cunning and deceit, as well as cleverness and intelligence, that has nothing approach ing its equal in the Southern Archipelago. The aspirations and ambitious hopes of Te Whiti are pretty clear after a long study of his character and speeches. He is a man of no social rank, but after years of patient waiting, when he has been gradually educating the minds of his Maori brethren in the belief of his' aupernatural powers, until at last ho has obtained such a hold upon their minds that they place a fanatical and blind confidence in his Almighty attributes, which the clearest reasoning of the most influential whites fail to dissipate or even shake. Tin end of all this is a new kingdom—a Maori Republic-the capital of Maoridom being situated at Parihaka, to rise in power and influence far higher than that of the Maori King at Kuiti or Hikurangi; and no doubt if tho Maori arab came down from his capital and asked the Maori Elijah " W ho art thott that troublest Maoii Israel?'1 the reply wonld be somewhat in tbe Bamo strain "It is thou and thy house that troubles the Maori Israel."

That To Whiti looks upon his " mana " or power as being as strong or stronger than that of his dusky majesty is very evident, it may be seen in his harbouring and sheltering that cold-blooded murderer Hiroki. As a man peaceably disposed we should liavc expected To Whiti to surrender the murderer to justice, but what would hare been the rosult? His "mana" would have been lessened, it would not have been so great aa the King's who has harboured so many Maori murderers. As it is, Tc Whiti's power is looked upon as even greater than that of the Maori Kiug, for the king lives in isolatiou among a powerful tribe, the Ngatimaniapoto, who could muster about two thousand warriors. Te Whiti lives on the borders ot civilization with no warriors, surrounded by 6'oo to 800 armed constabulary forces, many of them but a few miles from Parihaka, and yet Hiroki dwells in peaceful security under the shadow of the Almighty Prophet. Had the the murderers of our fellow countrymen who took refuge in the Kiug couutry, been persacd au-l, at any cost, brought to justice, To Whiti would never have harboured a murderer in his settle ment. The "Taihoa" policy of the gn vernments of the past leading to compli cations that will take a masterly hand patiently and peaceably to unravel. The present Government have, f o far as native affairs are concerned, quietly but firmly carried out their policy—that of letting TeWhiti severely 'alone, and work ing as if he did not exist, the only true method of solving the dilliculty. We would earnestly solicit Pakehas forbearing to visit Parihaka, and the press from noticing Te Whiti's speeches or movements, and ignoring his existence; as being the speediest method of breaking the spell of his fanatical power. By this means and the deter mination on the part of the Governor to ijjnoro the prophet we have little fear but that a reaction will tako place in the Maori mind against this power for evil.

ARRIVAL OF THE GOVERNOR.

THE BECEPTJON DEMONSTRA TION.

If there is one characteristic which more prominently distinguishes colonists in all parts of the Empire, it is that of loyalty to the Crown and the national institutions. That loyalty has found expression on numerous occasions, but it was most con spicuously displayed on the occasion of the attempted assassination of H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, and during his two visits to the Austra'asian colonies The arri. val of each successive Governor ha? been the signal for hearty demonstrations of loyalty to the Crown and affection for the free institutions engrafted on the off-shoots from the mother country, aud though, iv a few cases, representatives of the Queen in these colonies have shown a disposition to assume prerogatives which the Commission and Koyal Institutions do not confer, any friction in the working of the constitution has been easily removed, and there has never at any time been any danger of a crisis such as that which produced .the American War of Independence, and lost to Great Britain for everone of the lirst and great est of her colonies. The lesson derived from that struggle has been laid to heart by British' Statesmen. Tho colonies are Dot regarded as mere sources of revenue, but of Commercial prosperity, fields for the absorp tion of the surplus population, enterprise, and capital of the mother country, and additional 'props to the stability of the empire. The colonies arc encouraged in a policy of self-reliance and national develop ment, the Imperial Government concerns itself only with questions ot supreme im portance, leaving the colonists to manage their own iutcrnal.and intercolonial affairs, and maintaining a connection and super vision which has been felicitously compared to that of a silken string. It is not possible to predict what will be the ultimate con ditinn of the colonios, which arc as yet only in their infancy; but many advanced thinkers of the age look forward to confederation as the most fitting form of national existence. Sir George Grey has been a consistent advocate of confederation. Ho was the iirst to propose it in South Africa, and the colonization of Polynesia under a system of Government administered from >cw Zea land was contemplated in the constitution which he framed for this colony. Sir Her cules Kobinson has been an advocate of Australian co-operation and has pointed out with much force what the colonies had to gain by concert or uuion in the develop ment of their resources, the settlement of their territory, and the protection of their common intereits, and what they had to lose by isolation and independent action. Lord JLottus, a diplomatist and statesman of high rank, who has been frequently in-, trusted with high aud delicate oilices at foreign courts, and whose experience and observation have enabled him to form valu able opinions, now comes forward to allirm that tho great destiny which awaits Austra-, lia can only be worked out b*y the earnest! and hearty co-operation ot all the colonies,; by perfect concert, and by a uniformity ot legislation upon tkose matteis upon which their material aud national prosperity de pends In a recent speech at Deniloquin he said :—" Not this colony alone, but Aus tralia at large, is destined to have a groat; future, but before it is "attained an all-im-; portant work has yet to be carried out.! That work is the union, or to Bpeak perhaps' more clearly, the friendly concert of lal the Australian colonies. In my humble opinion' that cau only bo effected by the perfect; union, earnest good will, and hearty co-op.; oration of all, and by extinguishing minor: jealousies and petty rivalries, for the attain ment of one great common and national ob ject. For over 30 years I was witness to a! similar process in Germany, which,: originating iv the formation of the! Zollverein, or Customs Union, gradually: extended itself, and finally resulted iv the amalgamation of the German nation, and: the establishment of one uniform system of Government. I cay, then, Australia advance ! Advance to the great national aim and object; advance to fulfil that great destiny appointed for you. In doing so, be assured that its attainment arid realisa tion can only be brought about by a perfect understanding and concert with your Aus tralian brethren, and by establishing a com munity of legislation in regard to the material interests. Upon it your welfare and prosperity depend ; and, gen'lemen, (he first step in that advance must be to breakdown the barriers wlrch .interrupt freedom of the intercolonial communication. You should try gradually to introduce uniformity of legislation iv regard to all the great questions of common interest to you all—l mean, for instance, rail ways, telegraphs, postal communication, external defences, judicial administration, and immigration. All these matters arc of common interest to Australia in general. It is in this that Australia will fulfil her destiny ; it is then, aud only then, that in this highly-favoured land a united Aus tralia, under the beneficent rule of our gracious Sovereign, will be able rightfully and deservedly to claim the appellation of ' Queen of the Southern Seas.'"

Sir Arthur Gordon is the twelfth Gover nor of New Zealand, or rather his is the twelfth Governorship. Sir George Grey having been twee Governor of the colony. The first was Captain William Hobson, who held the position from January, 1840, to 10th September, 1842. It was during his terni of oihee that the first body of scttler3 arrived at Port Nicholson (Wellington), and that the first land sale took place in Auck land ; the New Zealand Company estab lished settlements at Wellington, Tarauaki, Nelson, and Wairau; the Treaty of Wai taugi was signed ; the seat of Government was removed to Auckland ; and Hovr Zea land was proclaimed a British colony. From January, 1840, to May, 1841, Captain Hobson was Lieutenant-Governor of New Zealand under Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales, and from May, 1841, Governor of New Zealand. Ho died in Auckland in September, 1842, and from the time ot his death until the arrival of Governor Fitzrpy, in December, 1843, the Governmeut was administered by the Colonial Secretary, Lieut. Shortland. Captain Robert Fitzroy, R.N., held the appointment of Governor from 26th Decem ber, 1843, to 17th November, 1845. The lnissacre at Wairau, in which 23 Europeans were killed, had occurred during the in terregnum. The chief event during Go vernor Fitzroy's term of olfico was the des truction of Kororareka, by Hone Heke, and was with the Ngapuhis, but the in surrection was not suppressed until after his recall, when ho was succeeded by Cap tain Srey, holding office as Governor-in. Chief in Wellington. Captaiu Grey (who was knighted in 1848) assumed the Governor ship of the colony on the 18th oi November, 1845. He held the commission of Lieu tcnaut-Governor until the Ist January, 1848, when he was sworn in as 1 Governor-in-Chief over the Islands of New Zealand, and as Governor of the Provinces of New Ulster and New Muuster. After the passing of "the New Zealand Constitution Act," Sir George Grey was, on the 13th September, 1852, appointed Governor of the colony, the duties of which he assumed on the 7th March, 1853. In August, 1847, Mr E. J. Eyre was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of New Munstor; and was sworn in on the 28th January, 1848. On 3rd January, 1848 Major-General George Dean Pitt was ap pointed Lieutenant Govcrnorof New Ulster was sworn in on the 14th February, 1848 • died Bth January, 1851; and was succeeded as Lieutenant-Governor by Lieutenant-Col Wynyard, appointed 14th April, 1851 • sworn in 26th April, 1851. The duties of the Lieutenant Governors ceased on the assumption by Sir George Grey in his office of Governor on the 7th March, 1853 Sir (George Grey suppressed the Ngapuhi insurrection in 1857; he overcame the diffi culties of settlement, and made great pro cress in the consolidation of the colony. The Canterbury Associations settlement at Christchurch was founded during his term o£ office. In 1851 he successfully prevented au attack on Auckland which was threatened by the natives. Up to 1552 the Colony was governed by an Executive and Legislative Council. Sir Geome Grey encouraged the settlors to ""exercise large functions of self-government created extensive endowments, granted a liberal charter to tho sottlers of Auckland, and framed a constitution for the colony, which, with some modifications was adopted by tho British Parliament, lhe Government of the colony was ad ministered by Lieut. Colonel Wynyard C.8., from 3rd January, 1854, to 6th Sep. tember, 1555, Sir George Grey having gone Ito England on leave of absence. It was during Colonel Wynyard's administration that the first session of the General Assem bly was held, or. the 24th May, 1854, t.ie Provincial Council having met previously for despatch of business. Colonel Thomas Gore Browne, C. 8., became Governor on the 6th September, 1855, and held office until the 2nd September, 1861 During his governorship the colony made steady progress. In ISGO a war broke out m J aranaki owing to a disputo over a block of GOO acres of land at Waitaro which the Government had purchased. The settlers were driven into New Plymouth, the country devastated, and finally au unsub stantial truce was concluded, which practically left the rebels in posses sum of the field, lowered Euro pe«n prestige, and strengthened the Maori King movement, Governor Gore

Browne's term of office expired in 18fil nr,J Sir George Grey, X.C.8., who had;«£} additional distinction by his dealings with the Kaffirs during his Governorship of Cana Colony, and was appointed by the Imperial Government to succeed Governor Browne He entered upon his diifieult duties on tho 3rd October, 1861; and in the following December was appointed Commandcr-in Chief of the Colonial Forceß. In 1863 ha reinstated the refugee settlers on their lands in Taranaki. On the 4th May, a massacin at Wairau, on tho Tataraimalca Blo"k led to further hostilities. The Governor surrendered the claim to the Waitara Block to the natives, and tho true ground of con tcution then became the sovereignty of thn Maori king. Tho troops were removed from the West Coast of the North Island which was placed in a state of defence' and in July the troops advanced across tho Maungatawhiri and the war wju begun with the action at Koheroa. The war continued until 1864, when th natives had been driven from the Waikato into what is now known as the Kin Country; but up to 1868 a guerilla warfare continued in the country between W an ganui and Taranaki. Sir George Grey was succeeded on the sth February 1868 by Kit George Ferguson Bowen, G.C.M.Q, w jjj continued in office until the' loth March, 1873, when he was J*'° moted to the Governorship of yj-j toria.

Sir Arthur Gordon is his successor. AKKIVAL OF H.M.S. DANAE.: * Shortly after we went to press yesterday afternoon, " a sail in sight" was tfgfaalled at Mount Victoria Station, and subse quently this_ was changed to "asteamer inside Tiritiri." A quarter of an hour later the Hags denoting that the vessel ia tho olling-was a British man-of-war, and that ■His Excellency the Governor, Sir Arthur Gordon, was a passenger, were hoisted, There ' was a strong fair wind, and the' vessel rounded the North Head nnder kail Bhortly after six o'clock, add dropped anchor well up the harbour. Governor Beg Voeiix, the Premier, and other gentle. men, . wero iv the meantime com. municated with, and orders were issued to have the Customs' launch in readiness. This was immediately done, and in dna time the Hon. J. Hall (Premier), Captain' Herbert (A.D.C. to the Hon. Mrdes Vceux Governor of Jb'iji), and Mr Thomson-(SttjieV intendent of the Armed Constabulary) proceeded on bo»i d. The Premier and Gap tain Herbert had a short interview with Sir Arthur, after wbich they returned to the wharf.

TIME OF LANDING. In accordance with previous arrangement, a letter was forwarded on board by Mr J\ A. Phillips, Town Clerk, requesting His Excellency to fix an boar most convenient to himself for a public landing. The follow* ing reply was received during the evenine: H.M.B. Danae, 23rd November, 1880. -Sir,-. I have the honour to'acknowledge the receipt of your letter of to-day's dato inform ing me that the citizsns of Auckland .desire to accord to His Excellency a', public wel come on his landing, mid enclosing a copy ot the address. lam desired by Bus Excel lency to express tfie pleasure it will afford him .to receive this welcome, and to suggest the hoar of 11 a.m. to-morrow morning, should this prove convenient to the Mayor and other gentlemen concerned.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, L. F. Knollys, Captaio, A.D.C. P. A. Phillips, Town Clerk, &c Auckland. ]$Isa commendable forethought a message to this effect was forwarded to the circus manager with the request that ho would announce it to the audience, which he did. "' ~ " THE DANAE'S CBUISW. ? The following report of the Danae'i cruise; was supplied by the officers i-^Tbe Danae reached Levuka from Auckland ob the 29th ultimo. Here it was found t)i»t several land claims awaiting settlement be fore the lands Commission then sitting, would probably detain His Excellency for some days. The Danau was accordingly des patched to Tonga tabu, conveying there tin Colonial Secretary, charged "with a diplo< matic mission to the King. Meanwhile, His Excellency, having completed the work in connection with the Lands Commission at Xicvuka, proceeded in the inter-island steamer Ucean Queen to the great Vaibose, or annual native meeting, which takra place" at Loma Loraa, governed by the renowned Miafu, of Tongan fame. Hero also a few land claims had to be - decided, which were not settled till the 16th instant, when His Excellency, accompanied by his aide-de-camp (Captain Knollye) sod suite, tembarked—tho Dauac lißring pro ceeded there to meet him— under a salute of seventeen guns, the blue jackets manning the yards, Captain Purvis and the officers and a guard of honour receiving him, on deck. The anchor was immediately weighed, and the coal running short a course mil ■ shaped for Suva, where a sufficient quantity to enable the ship to reach Auckland having . been shipped, the Dame, on the IBthj left this port, arriving as above." THE DECOBATIONS. Considering the shortness of tho time allowed for decoration, ami bearing in mind, also, the very threatening aspect of tin sky, the ornamentation of Queen-street ws» really creditable, while the shipping wls enshrouded in a fluttering maze, of varie gated bunting. The new buildings on 'the western side of the ■ wharf from the Waterman's Steps upwards bad either house or national flags waving from their flag posts or run out, from the upper windows, and at the intersection of Cuatom House-street two strings of bunting ex* tended across the thoroughfare, viz., one having the English and American flags" & the centre from the Waitemata Hotel to the root of Mr Niccol's office, and tni) .' other from the Thames Hotel to .the/other side of the street. The whole.extent "^trae facade of this hotel was also^overhangAy pennants and bannerettes*The P&^ch—wiuntj to the genial influence of a timely shower of rain—presented a less "tawdry appevance than might have been expected under the '.j circumstances, while .the " profuse ;:, upon it of floral contrivances sach M: wreaths, crowns, diamonds, triangles, sUn, | and other fanciful representationßi'as&fetel.: *: materially to enhance its general effect.' 1* has been referred to and described so.often that it is almost superfluous to linger over ..; it any longer. Suffice it then to say that the central arch was aor-: mounted by the word, "Welcome,.!; neatly painted in large letters upon ft broaa, strip of calico which was stretched between the two fiagposts that crowned thewaq)| atrair. Immediately beneath the legend; ; were the Royal Arms, flanked by the letters v; " V.R."
