{Per Anglo-Australian Press Telegraph Agency.') Wellington, December 14. The Governor landed from the Luna at the wharf, at noon, and was met on board by the Mayor and Corporation and the members of the Ministry. At the end of the wha'f an address of welcome to his Excellency and Lady Normanby were read by the Mayor. His Excellency briefly returned thanks for the cordial and hearty welcome which had been given him, and for the flattering terms in which the address was couched ; and begged to assure them whatever abilities he possessed would be sincerely and heartily devoted to promoting, as far as in him lay, the happiness, well-being, and prosperity of the colony.

Owing to a misunderstanding no triumphal arches were erected, but all the Volunteers, firemen, and armed constabulary turned out, and perhaps the largest crowd of citizens ever seen together in Wellington on any public occasion. The wharf was crowded with shipping, and, as all spread bunting, the effect of the whole was very fine. THIS DA TS TELEGBAMS. Auckland, December 14. Arrived—H.M.S. Eosario, from Sydney.
