We understand that • his Excellency the Governor has received advices from the Marquis of Normanby, with reference to his arrival in Auckland. The Marquis expected, to leave Sydney per the Hero, on the 24th, to-day, and to arrive in Auckland on Monday next, the 30th. Should such occur, we understand that the following are the arrangements contemplated in connection with his reception. On arrival, if this does not occur on Sunday, or at night, he will be met by the members of the Harbour Board on the Queen-street Wharf, who will present an address of welcome. The Superintendent and Provincial Executive and the City Council will also present addresses, probably at the foot of Queen-street, or on the wharf. On the same day, the new Governor will be sworn in to office at the front of Government House. On Tuesday there will probabl> be a levee at Government house, and on Tuesday evening the Choral Society will give a concert at the Choral Hall. The citizens' ball, it is in" tended, will not take place till Thursday, although it has been stated that the Luna is fixed to leave on Thursday with His Excellency the Marquis of Kormanby for Wellington, the departure, however, will probably be postponed, if not the ball must necessarily be fixed for Wednesday night. Of course much depends on the hour and day of arrival in the carrying out of the programme. Judging from the usual performances of the Hero she will hardly be at sea for six days, and an arrival on Sunday or Saturday night would mar the programme. As, however, it is advisable that all citizens should be aware of the actual arrival of the Hero so as to be to the front, we would suggest that either the firing of a gun, or some other means should be devised to indicate the approach of the steamer. The greater part of the people do not understand the language of the flagstaff, aad if there is any value in a popular demonstration at all, some such method should be adopted, so that it may be as effective as possible.
