LORD ABERDEEN AT CALLIOPE DOCK.

At the invitation of His Worship the Mayor. (Mr Devore) the Earl and Countess of Aber deen accompanied by a party, of .representa tive citizens paid a visit of inspection this morning to the Calliopo Dock. The Devon port Ferry Co.'s,line p.s, Britannia had been chartered for tnc purpose, and at 11 o'clock the following gentlemen ""had assembled upon her deck in readiness for the trip : - Crs. Holland, Buchanan, Phillipps, Cooper, Davios; Trenwith, Ghrratt, Lennox, Evans, Swales, Goldie, Messrs P. A. Philips ( Town Clerk), W. R. Waddol (Chairman of tho Harbour Board ), J. M. Brigham ( Sccre. tary' of tho Harbour Board), J. Lamb (Chairman of tho Chamber of Commerce), J. Winks (Mayor of Parnell), M. Niccol (Mayor of Devonport),' W. Aitken, A. G. Thompson, R. C. Barstor.,- J. G." Firth, Monsignor Walter McDonald, Rev. D. Bruce, Captain Anderson, Messrs .W_ Erringfcon (Calliope Dock Superintending 'Engineer), F. J. Bennet, J. McGregor '(Harbour Board Engineer), and tho repre sentatives of tho press., ~.....--■, Shortly afterwards Lord and Lady Abeiv doen and. His Worship tho Mayor drove clown to the vessel's side, and having em barked, tho lines were cast off, and a.sturb made for Point Calliope. The weather was brilliantly line, and the harbour wore its best aspect. Oil landing at the Calliope .Dock, the visitors were received by tho Chairman of the Harbour Board (Mr Waddol) and tho contractor (Mr Pierce Lanigan). Lady Aberdeen merely steppod ashore, and then went on board again, us she had some en* g.-igemcnts in town. Escorted by Messrs Waddel, Lanigan, and Errington (superin tending Dock Engineor), Lord Aberdeen proceeded over the entire work carefully,; examining evory detail, and exhibiting tho greatest interest in all its parts. He Walked round the margin of tho dock itself (over 40 feet deep), inspected the shed wherein the stones are dressed and the cement mixed, visited tho Engineer's odico and perused the plans, saw the cement-testing machine worked, looked over tho wells for tho pumps, examined the caisson groove and finally inspected" tho contractor-, plans, asking questions all the time, which manifested an intelligent conception of tho nature and importance of the whole under taking. '.-,;• Upon tho party roturning on board the vossel's head was turned up the harbour, and tho Mayor and his' guests. repaired to the cabin, where light refreshmeni was dispensed. Tho cravings of the inner man having beon satisfied, His Worship tho Mayor called upon the company to chango their glasses, and' drink the health of the Earl find Countess of Aberdeen, lio said :—lt may be, gentle mon, that in tho near future" His Lordship may bo again called upon to hold high ollico in bhe State, an oflice that would bring him into direct rcla ions with tho colonies. If so, he will eider upon his duties with a knowlcdgo of tho resources, aspirations, want_.,and wishes of thecolonics such as few statesmen in the United King dom possess. That knowlcdgo will be useful in convincing tho people of Great Britain that these young colonies are rapidly growing nations, which, in, tho course ot anotlior generation, must bo treated as equals, and not merely- as'de pendencies. Wo iii Auckland entertain the opinion 'that geographically Auckland oc cupies an important position, and that we are entitled to a prominent place whoro any schemo relatipg to the colonios is under discussion in tho old country. Tho capacity of tho harbour is un limited, whilo tho dock we havo just visited will mcot any demands mado upon ib eithor by men-of-War or othor vessels. This city is the last place r undor the British . flag that Your , Lordship -will bo in for some timo to come, but although it is tho last place, wo wish you, Lady Aberdeen ' and yourself,, food-bye as wo have welcomed you—just as eartily and as earnestly as-havo tho people of tho colonies which you have previously visited. I regret that you had not greater timo at your disposal, for a week could have been well spent in shewing you many things both instructive and interest ing, which would havo lived in your memory for many years to come. Wo wish Lady Abordeen and your Lordship a speedy, safe, and pleasant voyage Home, and we hopo that the noxt time you pay us a visit ib may be in blip ploasanb summer time, with plenty of lcisuro to enjoy your selves.

Tho toast was .then drunk, and was followed by cheers' for tho Earl and Coun tess. ........ ~.-.,

Lord Aberbecn in reply said —"Mr Mayor, Mr Waddel, and gentlemen, accept my very warmest thanks for this very kind oompli meut and expression of your good feeling, which 11 assuro-you I appreciate most heartily. On Lady Aberdeen., belialf and on my own, I beg you to accept our sincere thanks. I have looked forward to this day's expedition with great interest and pleasure, and certainly any visitor to New Zealand would tail to make uso of his opportunities if he wero to leave tho colony without becoming acquainted to some extent at., least with tho rosources and ' appliances of this great port of Auckland. I ileed hardly, tell you that, ,I have been ex ceedingly interested and impressed by what 1 havo just seen of tho new dock. It does not require much technical acquain tance with engineering work of that de scription to ~cc how.very thoroughly tho whole undertaking has been carried out, and how admirably adaptod tho locality ia for a work of that importance. I think wo may safely prognosticate that this under taking will amply justify tlio enterprise and the foresight of thoso by whom it was originated. After referring to the great significance *of the situation of Aueklfind from commercial and political points of view, and reciprocating the Mayor's wish that Lady Aberdeen might be privi leged.to revisit the colonies, His Lordship concluded with a (renewed acknowledge ment of tho obligotions of Lady Aberdeen and himself for the attentions shown to them in Auckland. The health of the Mayor wes then toasted, and shortly afterwards the visitors disemabrked. Subsequently Lord Aberdeen accompanied by the Mayor and Mr Lamb, visited somo of the kauri gum stores. • ;
