Our Christcliur-1. ■ respondent forwards us a^ description 01 iliu more notable exhibits iv tlio Exhibition. From hi ß article we cull the following remarks upon the coutiibutions from Auckland ■— Oppenheimsr & Co. have some exceodinclv interesting exhibits in the shape of kauri gum, displayiug another source of wealth in the country, The kauri is shown in variety from a large piece down to the veriest dust There is also shown the head of a mau carved from a solid piece of frim, TheN.Z.L.M.A. Co, have their bay S up in grand stylo. They bliow varieties uf wool m grease and washed *U scoured They also show seed of every descrintioii and grain in the sheaf. Photographs of Ml their principal offices are placed wound the bay, rendering it still more attractive A large slab of stone from tho quairv 0 Captain Synionds, of Manukau, is exhibited It is stated to have been exposed to the weather for the last 2fr years, and certainly does not appear to have Buffered thereby Mr K. I). Sykcs, of Auckland, shows a patent bath of his own invention which is intended to serve the purpose of a Turkish bath ; and he also shows an ex tending trellis fence, which appears to be simple and useful. The Southern Cross Petroleum Company exhibit gasoline benzolme, keroaine, mineral turpentine' &c, and also a cake of paraffin, 'ih'e Thamen Patent Manufacturing Company show 24 samples of colours, prepared trom hematite, and manufactured by thorn A. Oldham and Son, of Auckland, exhibit matting made from New Zealand flax. It has every appearaucc of being etrong, and is closely woven. .

Colonial Insurance Companies.

"Verity" writes us a lengthy letter on the desirability of the people of this colony ex. tending their patronage to the Colonial lo surance Companies iv preference to those which were formed, have their head quarters, aud do the bulk of their business outside the colonies, He says:—"Theio are, I think, six colonial companies doiu« business in New Zealand—all of them of first-class standing and stability ; and, be sides these, there is a whole host of foreign ones, many of them of immense wealth, and not a few with an aggregate capital amounting to, comparatively, but a small sum. * * * Yet these tame foreign companies do an immense business in the colonies—they realise large profits, But what becomes of these proiits ? Are they utilised in the colony ? No ; they are re mitted elsewhere. Foreign shareholders reap the benefit of our support, and we «.e content with nothing iv exchange, Tne colonial companies also make fairly large profits, but in their' case the colony reaps the benefit ot their success because the profits remain amongst us Io support other industries. Some months ago it was suggested in your paper <liat foreign companies should be taxed, \ycll, I do not think that that would be a wi9e policy to adopt, but I certainly do think that foreign companies doing a business here should be compelled to deposit a euti of money—say £30,008—with^the Govern ment by way of security to the policy* holders ; for, at present, a policy-holder bus no security that his claim will be met by the company, beyond the respectability ot. the office and what funds it may have at home. In Canada, in the United States, and iv many other couutries, foreign compauies doing a business there are compelled.to invest a certain sum of money in Govern ment securities; not, be it understood, to encourage their own companies, but as a fair and reasonable security to the assured.',1
