It is said that Sir George Bowen, who, it will be remembered, upon receiving official notification of his appointment to the governorship of New Zea land, communicated his intention of arriving in Wellington about the middle of this month, has put off the date of his departure from Australia, and will leare Sydney by the January Panama steamer. Should he do bo, Sir George 80-wen will reach Wei. lington about the same time as Sir George Grey, who proposes sailing for Europe on the Bth proximo. We thave, however, got so accustomed to erratic movements on the part of Governors, that we should feel in no way surprised were this conj unction of the two Sir Georges not to occur.— Wellington Inde pendent.
SIR GEORGE F. BOWEN.
