Yesterday—which was proclaimed a general holiday, and observed as such by many, in consequence of the expected arrival of the Luna with the Southern representatives—was a cold and unpleasant day, and considerable disappointment was felt in consequence of the non-appearance of the expected vessel. A general holiday was again proclaimed this morning, and at an early hour the Luna was signalled. The Yeomanry Cavalry, the Volunteer Artillery and Band, and the Bine Volunteers and band, fell in in town and were marched to the Spit. The Luna entered the harbor about 2 p.m., and the representatives landed, a general salute being given by the local companies as they marched past. They were then escorted to town to the music of the bands. A halt was called in Clive Square, the companies were drawn up in open column, and three eheers having been given for the Southern representatives, the proceedings were brought to a close. We have to acknowledge the courtesy of the Colonial Secretary in forwarding us the Journals and Appendix to the Journals of the Legislative Council, and Vol. IV of the Appendix to the Journals of the House of" Representatives. By the arrival of the p.s. Luna we have intelligence of a terrific north-east gale at Auckland on Saturday last, by which great damage was done. It is said that it will take £5,000 to cover the damage to the shipping in port at the time. Full particulars may be expected on the arrival of the Star of the South, now hourly expected.
