The Flying- Squadhon.—With refjrence to the Flying Squadron we take tna t'ollowiug from the livening News, 16th December: —"We are informed tint his Excelieney the U-overnor received, last night, letters from Admiral Hornby, at Jdeloourue stating that since he left iiinglind lie lias received orders from the Admiralty to add ilobart Town (in Tasmania),and substitute Auckland fjr Lyttelton, in the list of places to be visited by the If lying Squadron. His Excellency has written to Admiral Hornby, urging lnui to visit i J ort .Lyttelton also, acceding to the original programme. From thd Admiral's letters, it appears that the Flying Squadron may be expected to arrive ac Wellington from the i/tn to tlie 20th January, and at Auckland about the Ist Februaiy. It will stay for a Lew da_)s in each port.'

iiEC-UiL OF GrENEKAL CHUTE.—From the Wellington Evening i J ost, of the 11th Doueinber, we copy the following paragraph: —"A letter from England received oy tne mail that Major-General Sir i'revor Cnute has been recalled from the command of h r Majesty's forces in Australia, but neither mentions his successor, nor assigns any reason for the recall. Connecting it, uowever, with the conduct of the Colonial Ciliee towards us, it is natural to believe Uiat Ofeneral Chute has displayed too much sympathy with New Zealand to bo left m its vicinity, now that Earl Granville has definitely made up his mind to abandon us to our late."
