ARMY, NAVY AND VOLUNTEERS.

(To the KiHlw oj 'the Otamo Daily Tnir.s ) Pin—l vrai much surprised, and by no mcfim gratified this rnorninjr, on reading % our jic'iotint of the proceedings at the tl-jiuiirr given to hi? Excellency, to find fhnt. nnionsr the numerous to:ista giveu, " The Volunteer.*)" was not included. JNT< v.*, Sir, corit-ideriug the very prominent part occupied by that body at the ncc-p'inn of Sir George Grey, I thhik (:ind mnr.y others with me) that courtesy alone p.hould have prompted the Chairman to tPftify 10 them, that at all events, he upprcciat'jd lhtir efforts to render honor to j Tier MiiJL'Bty'a Itepre?entative, while nifittri.lly assi--tinr; to carry out the programme of the Corporation. I am, &c, A VoLusrur.E Dune-din, February loth. {To (ha Editor of the Otaoo Daily Times.) Sm-—On rending your report itt thi« morniny'a ]>a|ier of the dojeuver given by the City Corporation yesterday in honor of His 'Exceiltncy, I find that although it is uhkil now to include the Volunteers iv the twst, " The Army and Navy," it was entirely omit ted.yesterday. As we Luvo put ourselves to a {rood deal of trouble to prepare for the rccep:ion, and in no sni'ill degree aided the Corporation in cirryii't: out tlitir endeavors to do honor to Sir George Grey, I think it would only have been right had the Chairman recognised us in the toosr, ar.d I ant sure had it been done, there were many of our rn.rul'jr who would have bten ready to return thanks on our behalf.—lnm,&c, Rij-xi:man. .Dunedin, Feb. loth, 18G7.
