His Excellency the Governor.

Auckland has already welcomed the Earl of Onslow when he landed here as Governor, and he was cordially received amongst us when he come for a more leisurely visit. Since he has been in the colony Lord Onslow has shown himself deeply interested in all that concerns it.

The Right Hon. Sir William Hillier Onslow, Bart., Knight of St. Michael and St. George, fourth Earl of Onslow, was born March 7, 1853, son of George Augustus [unclear: Cranlay] who was grandson of the Hon. Thomas Cranley, second son of Thomas Viscount Cranley, and Earl of Onslow. He is thus grand-nephew to his immediate predecessor,
