Wellington Volunteers.—The Te Aro and Thorndon Divisions of the Wellington Volunteers, assembled on Thorndon Flat, on Monday evening, agreeable to notice issued by his Honor the Superintendent. Shortly after five o'clock, the Te Aro Division preceded by the Wellington Band, arrived at Thorndon Flat, and having formed into line were joined on the left by the Thorndon Division ; the men were then formed into square, and the following memorandum was read:— Memorandum. Wellington, 7th April, 1345. The Alarm will be a gun fired in the enclosure adjoining Major Richmond's residence ; and at the Barracks, Te Aro. Fifty men of each division, who are reported efficient, will be supplied with arms forthwith. On the Alarm being given, the Thorndon Division will for the present assemble at Major Richmond's, the Te Aro Division, at the Barrack's, Te Aro, to receive orders. M. RICHMONp, Commandant Welli igton Volunteers. The two Divisions amounted in number to 229 men, and it is but justice to them to state that from tbe regularity of their marching and evolutions, they appear to have made > considerable progress in their drills. The rapid progress made in so short a time is i highly creditable to the sergeant and corporals kindly furnished to the Volunteers by Cap--1 tain Eyton.'
