ARRANGEMENTS IN THE SOUTH.
PREPARATIONS IN WELLINGTON.
WEATHER UNSETTLED.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON, this day..
A heavy rainfall commenced yesterday morning and continued all day. Showers fell, throughout the night, and at about half-past eight oeloek this morning the rain seemed to exhaust itself in a final deluge and then ceased and the «ky cleared, but another slight shower fell later on. Captain Edwin informs me that the weather is unsettled, with a prospect .of strong northerly to north-westerly • ;winda . during the night, but that the rain will-.. probably exhaust itself before the landing of the Duke. Captain Edwin does not expect heavy rain. The fall for yesterday and last night was :95 of an inch. Great activity is manifested in adding the finishing touches to the arches, and the streets are assuming a thronged •appearance with a sprinkling of volunteer uniforms. ''
The Premier and the Hons. Ward and Mills returned this morning and are now engaged at the Parliamentary Building- completing the official preparations.
