At 12 o'clock, on Monday (the 14th instant), the " Luna " having hauled up alongside the wharf, His Excellency and Lady landed amidst the firing of cannon, the cheers of the assembled multitude, and the enlivening strains of the band. The wharf was lined by the Volunteers, Armed Constabulary, and other companies. Every available spot on the wharf and shore was crowded with ladies, and gentlemen, and children, all anxious to get a glimpse of His Excellency and Lady_
Children and young girls strewed flowers in the path of the Marchioness as she advanced along the wharf; and the smiling faces on every side betokened the delight experienced by the people at witnessing the landing on their shores of a Governor whose sterling character and popularity had preceded him from other lands. His Excellency was received by the members of the Government, the Superintendent, and other gentlemen. On reaching the end of the wharf His Excellency was presented with an address of welcome, by the Mayor, on behalf of the Councillorsand citizens of Wellington, to which he made a gracious reply. _ His Excellency and Lady then entered the carriage which was in waiting for them, and drove off to Government House.
