The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With Which is incorporated the “Evening Echo”). FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1879.

It is generally admitted that the past -w months have been a time of almost

unparalelled depression in eomrnereUl circles. Initiated in England by the disastrous failure o f the City of Glasgow Sank, the pressure and difficulty atten dant on a financial paxiic rapidly spread tp all the British colonies, reaching Hew Zealand :at a. most inopportune time, when air enormous depreciation in the value of our staple products, and the partial failure of two successive har vests, had very considerably crippled the resources , of. the colony, -, .Further than this, the difficulty of the position yras’ aggravated by the ; foreseen enxbar rassment of those who had indiscreetly over-speculated ip lapd—people who simply bought to sell at a higher rate, and when the limit was reached, and this could no longer be done, had nei the capital nor the credit to work their holdings efficiently and productively.

; Much of thjs depression has been at tributed to what is termed the ‘‘ restric tive policy ” of the banks; and it-may be of interest to take a cursory glance at the action of our principal financial Institutions during this emergency.

j The t) a ph pTUvns ffir the March quarter, although meagre in particulars, lare sufficiently explicit to show that the ;two larger colonial institutions-thc ;Bank of New Zealand and the National Bank—-hive' ’ actually Increased : -thhir ; accommodation to the public by Although the taree foreign' banks—Union' ; of’ Australia, New South Wales, and Australasia — hake reduced their advances' by £1 20,000, it is evident that the monetary pressure has not been caused by the Wctioifof the'banks as a v/hole'j restriction .by foreign institutions being' more'' tliati compensated' by* in creased facilities allowed by the local banks. To bring the question nearer home it is a significant fact that the Bank of New Zealand through its cus tomers, advanced last season to the farmers .;of Ashburton 'on agricultural liens nearly while the like assistance offered by the whole of the foreign banks in the same district scarcely reached : and again, of the seven larger Ashburton mercantile firms that have succeeded in weather ing the crisis, six are supported by the Bank of New Zealand, and one only by the Union Bank. ; / j . VV

These facts, we think, tend to con firm an opinion that we have long enteiv tained, that in a time -of difficulty- gnd pressure the interests and wants of the colony are likely to. receive greater con sideration from institutions locally con trolled than |frpm' those, vyhich ; must carry out .a. policy dictated from abroad.

There ; is very little doubt that in New Zealand we have suffered severely by the foreign banks withdrawing money from this place to satisfy the Australian demand; and whether this .policy; has increased the confidence of the public in these; in stitution s ■or - the reverse, remains to be seen when the crisis is over, and business men are again inde pendent, arid at liberty to replace their accounts.

The broad question .as to whether public 'bodies : should riot deposit then funds in the institution which has Obviously, done most pro, born publico , jn preference to locking them up in one that.has , done pitich to embarrass our local finances, we have not space to dwell upon, but shall make it the sub ject of a future article, and in the mean-- time would commend it to the serious consideration of our Borough and County Councils.

Railway Breakdowns. To-day, be tween Chertsey and ,'Asbburton quo. eceem, trie strap gave way on the express engine, and the train had to come to a standstill. Her non-arrival at the Ashburton station within a reasonable time induced the sta tion-master to send an engine down the line and the express engine and carriages were thus bought od to Ashburton. .The same engine .took .the ,e£pye'ss train on its way south, and a delay "of'an hour and twenty minutes was all that resulted k om the mishap. v ' ... ... ..

Man for man the Zulu warriors. are a most formidable body of men to copie with (pgr. their own ground, ■ and - they have been most carefully' drilled and skillfully handled by most able com manders. . To their-intimate knowledge of their country,, and to the rapidity, certainty, and excellence of their war intelligence, they' owe- their an variable escape'from our best planned combina tions ; while the total Absence of bag gage and commissariat waggons renders thern peifectly frep ‘-frqm'hcare: whether they are attacked'in- front or rear, br, whether they have to ; climb mountain peaks or ford the most rapid rivers; Their marching powers, too, are really extraordinary, arid by: the facility .with which they have .kept up all their com munications as yet, they have practically set quy parking regulars at naught,' hfid kepf, thrirp ip ri spate : qy expec tancy and fyet.

SIR WILLIAM FOX AND HIS KNIGHTHOOD.

{From the Post).

In responding to the comgratulatq'iyj address presented to him by his Wan ganui constituents on his’elevation to the honor of knighthood,; Sit William Fox look the opportunity pf explaining 'the principal ’ reasons which? induced him; to acceptptbe peered'distinction, According .to the Wanganui Chtonicte's report of his speech those reasons were as follows: —“ In the first place, as a loyal subject, a warm admirer of her Majesty, and an advocate of the unity of the dimpire, the felt thgt: the re cogrl‘on of the services of the promi nent public meh:? ! in Athese colonies tended to cement the feeling of unity. Another thing was that the politicians of the colonies: stood in an position as compared with public men in the Old World. There, there was a continuous public feeling with regard to public men. From their first entry, upon public life and all through their career their actions were narrowly noted and scrutinised, and the people were thereby in a position to form an accurate esti mate-of the value of-their..services. .In the Colonies this:wasrnot so. People changed about so much and the influx of population kept ‘ sti continually 3 alter ing the condition; of things, tnat the public men' who 1 -bore the heat and burden cf : the day in the.earlier -years , of the colony Knight be. altogether unknown and forgotten to-day. That being so, it was gratifying to find : that such ser vices'were noted arid recognised by the authorities at Home,” Some weak, at tempts have ; been made by .persons— who would, give their ears for the chance of attaining a like.’distinction —to cast ridicule and obloquy on Sir William Fox ; and Sir Edward ‘.Stafford;as the recipients of these Birthday honors. Such atterhpts are based ori & Spumous republicanism be adopted as the, passing affectation of a fmv who, if they could brily secure the opportunity, would be' the most oppres sive df all noiechoor sym pathy in the hearts of the loyal people of tins British;coi6ny,‘ ; 'arid we sincerely trust and believe,'never will.
