THE NEW HEBRIDES.

i Sydney, May 20, 1 The Rev. Dr Lamb, of New Zea ' land, in the course of an interview with reference to missionary work in the New Hebrides, stated that the one thing needful in the group is annexation by the British. TJnder the present re strictions the wonder, he says, is that Britishers are ever able to get a footing in the group. So grievously do the restrictions operate in connection with obtaining labor that the English, he adds, are almost ready to support French annexation. Referring to labor recruiting, the rev. gentleman says that, although undoubtedly there is a marked improvement in the methods through the laws of Queensland, there cannot possibly be any guarantee of the proper conduct of the traffic among the islands. He strongly urges the establishment of stringent quarantine regulations to prevent the Pacific islands becoming decimated by diseases introduced from outside.

Sydney, May 20, It is understood that Sir George R. Dibbs has a brand new plan of federa tion, which he will disclose during his addresses to the Tarn worth electors. The principal point is said to be the unification of those colonies that may come in under the federation. He is not hopeful that more than New South Wales and Victoria would form a Federation to begin with, but is confident that, if these lead the way, the other colonies will be compelled in their own interests to come in later on. H© is entirely opposed to a Commonwealth, and proposes to dis pense with Provincial Governors and State Parliaments and to have only one central governing Legislative authority, one Governor, one Ministry, one Parliament, one Railway Com missioner, one Post and Telegraph Department, one Defence Force and one Customs Tarriff. Sir G. R, Dibbs has privately com municated the outlines of his scheme to leading politicans in the other colonies.

EARTHQUAKE.

Wellington, May 21. There was a small shock of earthquake this morning about 4.30, accompanied by a sound like a sharp explosion. At 9 40, however, there was another, tha most prolonged and vigorous that baa been felc here for years. It fetched people running out of their hoU3es into the streets in all directions. So far as can be gathered people were quiet though frightened, and no particular damage was done. There was more noise than anything else. Persons in the open say ther j was a loud crash as though the hills were coming down bodily, and the noise of buildings rattling together and the rustling of trees was tremendous. la some of the taller wooden buildings sway ing was violent, and women fainted. Brick buildings do not appear to have felfc it so much. Dr. Hector says the seisome ter at the Museum showed a vibration of ■g- inch, and tha shock, which lasted six seconds, was the most vigorous in his experience. The direction was from north west, and he chirks it very likely connected with some disturbance in the central region. The shock in the early morning was preceded by a loud concussion, which led many to believe there had been an explosion somewhere in town. The Free Public Library got a bad wrench from the earthquake. The old crack caused over a year ago in a similar manner opened out again, and ex tended a little. The plaster fell largely from the roof in the hall and cracked on the walls. New Plymouth, May 21. Both earthquake shocks were felt here, but they were not very strong. One at 10.50 made things rafctle in the houses but that was all. Nelson, May 21 A shock of earthquake w*s felt this morning about 9.30. It lasted thirty seconds. Ohbistchurch, May 21. A slight shock of earthquake was felt in Ohrlstchurch at 9.40 a.m. to-day. Rotoetta, May 21. No signs of earthquakes have been felfc here. The springs and volcanoes are quiet.
