[By Telegraph] Auckland, December 3. The Governor landed at ten o’clock this morning, and was received on the wharf by the Provincial and General Governments, the Volunteers lining each side of the wharf. At the City end, the City Council presented an address, to which his Excellency briefly replied. He said as he had only just landed they must not expect him to express any opinion regarding the Colony, but they might depend upon it he would make himself thoroughly acquainted with it. He hoped to return soon to enjoy the scenery for which Auckland was famed. A procession proceeded through the city to Government House. Most of the shops were closed, and strings of banners displayed. Ihe ceremony of swearing in commenced shortly before twelve in front of the Government House, and there was a large assemblage by that time on the lawn.

The Governor briefly replied, and this closed the ceremony. It is not expected that the Governor will leave till after Monday. The citizens’ ball is postponed to that night.
