GUBERNATORIAL

London. January 1R

It is rumored that Sir Heavy Blake, Governor of Jamaica, succeeds Lord Kintore as Governor of South Australia.

The St. James' Gazette suggests that Lord Brassey aspired to the control of the Admiralty and is being sent to Victoria to avoid his voting against the Government.

The Pall Mall Gazette thinks Lord Brasseys special knowledge on questions of federation and imperial defence will be of benefit to all Aus tralia.
