PROPOSED RECEPTION OF THE COLONIAL VOLUNTEER REPRESENTATIVES. The adjourned meeting to decide upon tho form of reception to be given to the Colonial Representatives upon their arrival in Auckland after the prize-tiring competition at the Thames, was held last evening in the Mechanics' Institute. The meeting was in the lirst instance convened by his Worship the Mayor (F. L. Prime, Esq.) upon the requisition of citizens and Volunteers, and adjourned from noon on Friday last. The members of the Auckland corps were present in great force. The Artillery and Kile Brigade mustered to their full strength. The Engineers, under Lieutenants Kitchen and Saunders, were present in uniform. Tlie Victoria and Ilobsoii Companies with tl.o Cavalry, were also present, headed by thoir ollicers. Captain Dignau acted as Secretary to the meeting. There was a large number of citizens, mostly connected with commercial and other linns, present. The large Hall of the Mechanics' Institute was well tilled.

His Woiisiiir the Mayoi:, upon takii.g the chair, was received with eheeriog. I:e said that several modes of receiving the representatives had been suggested. One was to give them a ball: a second, that a subscription be opened for the purpose >t raising a sum to be presented to the winner: a third, was to escort the representatives in uniform from the wharf. This was to be considered, that the reception on behalf of the province would take place at the Thames, where the competition hail been held. What might be done in Auckland was, after all, a secondary matter. But, whatever might be done, it meant money. They could do nothing without this. lie would not detain the meeting, but, as most of those present were Vo'unteers, he would leave to them to decide what appeared to be the most suitable mode of receiving their comrades.

Captain llruss moved, "That it is the opinion of this meeting a cordial reception should be given to the Volunteer representatives on their arrival in the city of Auckland upon their return from the competitive liriug at the Thames.*' lie had telegraphed to Major Cordon with a view to ascertain what would be the wishes of tho representatives themselves. Ail answer had been received from Major Cordon to the eltect chat a dance with refreshments would be m.ist acceptable—something like a social gathering. where they might meet the people of Auckland and enjoy themselves without much ceremony. There would be the ball at the Thames on Monday next. This might be regarded as the public and otlieial mode of paying then a compliment. That was not all'ected by anything that might now be resolved upon. Captain Isaacs seconded the resolution, which w;u> carried unanimously. Lieut. Knvin:.v moved, ''That a supper anil ball be given to the representatives, upon the evening of their arrival." Captain lW*i;N> seconded the resolution. Mr. G. M. Kkkp, though not a Volunteer, was glad to be present. lie thought they should do honor to the Volunteer representatives. Without questioning the propriety of the mode now proposed to receive the whole of the Volunteers he nevertheless believed that they should pay some mark of respect to Mr. Skinner. That gentleman had undoubtedly conferred very great honor upon Auckland, lie thought such a resolution would be acceptable to the whole of the inhabitants of the province. This might be done without any collision with the form of the reception of the representatives. (Hear, hear.) Mr. <1. S. (JiiAH.v.M seconded Mr. Heed's pi-»p« »sal. Captain Bruss reminded the met ting that any reception to be given to the Volunteers would involve an outlay of a considerable sum. It would cost at least t'oO for refreshments alone. Mr. Iteed might, perhaps, change the form of his resolution and propose that the '' ladic.s" of Auckland subscribe a sum for a testimonial to Lieutenant Skinner. The 'Madies" had not done anything for the Volunteers. A great many promises had been made. Once it was »aid the ladies were to give them col mrs, but nothing of that kind had taken place. Mr. SwaSsoN was much disposed to second Mr. Heed's view of the matter. As to the ** ladies," he would like to know if it were not for the girls where would tlie Volunteers l>e l»ut the two things should bi» kept separate. At the supper au l ball those who liked that way would think a good ileal more of their heels than their head f<>r that particular occasion. (Laughter and cheers.) That was not in his line. Ihit he could do something towards the testimonial. Tlie collection for the testimonial need not interfere with the reception. The collection for the testimonial might extend over some time. He would make one to help it on. lint he would have it understood that he meant the two things to be kept entirely separate. (Cheers.)

The resulutiini projiosed by Capt. liurns was i»ut aud carried unanimously. Moved by Mr. I{kki>, and sccondetl by Mr. S. (iiiAUAM, <4 'l'hat a sum of nmnev be collected, to procure a suitable testimonial to be presented to Lient. Skinner." (.Mistion put; Mr. Keed's resolution was carried unaninnuisly. Captain Isaac's that his Honor the Superintemlcnt should be written to, with a view to declaring the day of arrival a half-holiday. Most of the Volunteers of Auckland were in commercial ollices, and to enable them to meet their comrades in uniform, that would be necessary. He also thought that, as the Superintendent hud oiicred to contribute INVI towards the entertainment of the representatives at the Thames, tin- meeting would not be acting improperly by asking a similar amount for Auckland, as the capital of the provi.iec. Motinii made and seconded. (Question put, 44 That His Honor be requested to decla re the day of arrival (pr »bably Wednesday, the !oth inst.) a half holiday, <"iiki titbit the l'mvinciii! <iovcniiiii-nt tio nsUcil tn contribute ;i similar sum to t)i;it given tn tin: Thiuues citminittee."—('arrieil uii;iiiinnjusly.
