Whether the Government will *" indeed' be in a position to refuse—its sanction to the step is another matter. Much, of course* will depend upon the actual State of the facts on which the telegram of the Governor of Queensland was f haded, and which have? induced hihi to believe that some foreign power or powers were about to take possesion of the island. That he must have 4 re garded the emergency ?is! obvious from the remarkable prompti tude with which he has acted ‘the* Governor of an important colopy not, as a rule a man, iikely ta' -beebrae- the victim of a groundless nanie in such ,a, matter.

It adds ;—“ They ought to have been aware Gbvefnfaient which seems desirous to minimise rather than to extend the responsibili ties of foe Empire, and a Secretary of State for the Colonies who has bluntly declared that the Queen already pos sesses enough ‘ black subjects,’ would view with scant approval, if not actual disgust, -any—proposal —t 6 saddle Her Majesty’s Ministers with the duty of , governing ppon -paternal princjpleg ** several millions of the warlike cannibals inhabiting New.
