AUCKLAND.
November 3rd 1874. The Governor landed at 10 o'clock. He was received on the wharf by the Provinical and General Government Officers. The Volunteers lined each side of the wharf, at the city end. The Council presented an address, to which the Governor replied very briefly. He said as he had only just landed, they must not I expect him to express any opinion regarding the I Colony. They might depend he would make himself [acquainted with it. He hoped to return soon to enjoy I the scenery for which Auckland was so famed. The
procession proceeded through the city to Government House. Most of the shops were closed. Strings of banners were displayed. The ceremony of swearing in commenced shortly after twelve o'clock, in front of Government House. A large assemblage was by that time on the lawn. The oaths were administered by the Chief Justice. The Superintendent then presented an address, setting forth that -peace was reigning between the two race. The Governor briefly replied. This closed the ceremony, it is not expected that the Governor will leave till after Monday. The citizes' Ball is postponed to that night, The Governor will hold a levee in Government House to morrow. Lord Henry Phipp's is appointed A.D.C., and Captain Maring, 35 regiment, Secretary. The Hawke's Bay Herald of 4 December, says. Our new Governor the Marquis of Norrnanby arrived in Auckland yesterday, in the Hero, from Sydney. After a short stay in the' Northern capital. His Excellency will proceed to Wellington. Lord Normanby bears a high reputation for political ability, was a popular Member of the House of commons, in which he sat for Scarborouh for some years prior to his accession to the peerage. In Queensland he was much liked by all class, and' prejudice, therefore, is in his favor. We presume that amongst his earliest offical Acts on his arrival in Wellington will be the issuing of a proclamation, creating Napier a Borouh under the Municipal Corporations Act, 1867.
