SIR GEORGE GREY’S RECEPTION IN AUCKLAND.
In reference to the conduct of the General Government, in this matter the Auckland iSta/’thus concludes its remarks:—“ We may also add (hat we learn that orders were issued from head-quarters prohibiting the Hobson Company’s Band from accompanying the procession, an order which was treated witli the contempt it deserved, the members of the band exercising their rights as private citizens, and going as they had promised. The smallest of all the little meannesses, however, was in respect of the firiug tile salute in honor of the Prince of Wales. It was originally fixed for ten o’clock, but countermanded and fixed for nine, lest it might seem to lend eclat to the reception fixed for that hour. And these people who give these insults are living and feeding at our cost, crawling like political bugs on the body corporate.
