H.M.S. DIOMEDE.
VISIT TO AUCKLAND. (By Telegraph.—Special to Standard.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 11. H.M.S. Diomede, which will leave for England next month to be refitted, arrived from Wellington to-day. She will sail on October 1, taking some 450 officers and men, whose term of service on the New Zealand staff has expired, back to England. The work of refitting, which will be carried out in the English dockyards, probably at Portsmouth, will cost £60,000 and will occupy about 10 months. A certain amount of preparatory work, chiefly cleaning and painting, will be effected at Auckland, and for this purpose the warship will go into the Calliope Dock next Tuesday for a period of seven days.
