THE HAWKE'S BAY HERALD. Napier, Saturday, Nov. 20, 1858.

The arrival of the V Lord Worsley" was anxiously looked forwai-d to, it having "been anticipated that she would bring us a proclamation defining the' electoral districts of the province, together with instructions for immediate steps towards the formation of a new electoral roll. At the date of the steamers departure, however, the necessary documents were not prepared- 1 - the absence of Messrs. Stafford and Richmond/ who had proceeded to the south on a visit, having probably retarded in some degree, the public ness. We believe, fhotf ever, that by next opportunity, probably, the " Eliezer".' — which vessel reachedA^iicMaridoh the 11th inst., and would sail •rapstlikely, ma weekafterwards — we shall receive all that is necessary to put the affairs of the new province lin pi o.per train. ;.■,„_.. ......,--. ..: Meanwhile, witn that regard for the wellbeing of Hawke's Bay whl^ifi has uniformly distinguished the Stafford ministry, instructions have already been received un-

der which, through the Land Commissioner, provision is made for the continuance of all public works now in progress. Although the time for entering upon the duties of self government is thus for a few days longer, deferred — it yet behoves the electors to act as if the concomitant responsibility were already theirs. Not, after battling for separation, to sink into supineness until the moment for action arrives, but to act at onee — to look around them for the men best filled to take the helm of affairs, and to deliberate thoughtfully upon the most fitting course for the new ship to steer. Remember, that the other provinces are watching with intense interest the progress of this the great experiment of the day.
