Nearly all tlio leading newspapers of the United Kingdom have published critical articles or paragraphs about the memo, ad dressed to Lord Derby by Sir Dillon Bell and the other Agents-General of the Aus tralian Colonies relative to the annexation of New Guinea and the Western Pacific Isles. The majority confine themselves to afew complimentary remarks on the cogency of the arguments and the clearness of the language used. One or two, however, have evidently inquired into the question ex haustively and conscientiously. I was par ticularly struck with an article in the "Saturday Review" of the 11th instant, headed, "The Case of the Australians." In this the writer, after recapitulating the principal points of the statement, winds up as follows :—" It is not, however, the facts or arguments, or even the expression of the wishes of the colonists, which give the greatestinterestto the memorandum of their Agents. By far the most remarkable thing about the document is the tone which is as sumed throughout towards the representa tives of the Imperial Government. The Australian Agents speak as if they were conscious that they represented an indepen dent and equal Power. They refuse en tirely to acknowledge that on a question of this sort the Home Government can be j the best authority. As far as the lan guago goes, the memorandum is per- ; feotly courteous ; but the four gentle men who sign it have no mind that Lord Derby should be allowed to think he has the last word, and they are obviously confident that they will be supported by their Governments. While they acknow ledge that the colonists are bound to share theTburden of the task, they are careful to insist that tho settling of the islands in the Pacific is not a matter of choice, but a duty incumbent on the Imperial Government, and one in tho discharge of which it is bound to aot largely by the advice of the colonists. Lord Derby s suggestion that federation would afford a means of escape from the difficulty has apparently nettled them not a little, and they refor to it in a most significant tone. "The large ques tion of federation which your Lordship has hero raised is one on which tho colonies have not mado up their minds, and is one of too grave a moment to be decided up^on under the sway of tho strong feelings which now exist among them respecting the policy that ought to be pursued in the Western Pacific." In short, they resent the Colonial Secretary's attempt to take advantage of their momentary uneasiness for the pur pose of applying the screw. In another passage the colonist* reject with contempt the theory that the Government can be allowed to wash its hands of responsibility for those of its subjects who voluntarily i place themselves in danger "by going; among savages for the purpose of trading or settling. "3(The colonial Agents remind Lord Derby that Australia itself in now a flourishing colony, and carries on an im mense trade with England, simply because a great number of Englishmen chose to put themselves in danger voluntarily. At the end of the memorandum the Agents declare that, although the colonists will not be forced into federation, they are prepared to co-operate with the Home Government, and to take such engagements on them selves for the proper discharge of tho con certed action as may be found necessary. This statement is followed by words which aie in fact a warning. "On the other luind," as the memorandum has it, "the colonies will not imagine that your Lord ship has invited them to a co-operation which in to be barren of results. The colonists are prepared to help in effecting the annexation, but they are obviously determined that, by one means or another, the work shall bo done. They believe that their future prosperity is at stake, and with that they are not inclined to play. If the Australian colonists insist on their demands, and the Homo Government does not yield, it is obvious that difficulties of the most serious kind may very possibly arise, and the fact that a statesman of Lord Derby's views i:> at the head of tho Colonial Office does not promise well for their peaceful and dignified settlement." Australasian Matters In Parliament.— The Island of Rotumah. In the House of Commons on the 20th of August, Sir Wm. McArthur asked the Undor-Secretury of State for the Colonies whether the attention of Her Majesty's Government had been called to the fact that in the Island of Rotumah a resident commissioner is the solo representative of both the civil and judicial authority of the Crown; that he is invested with the func tions of both prosecutor and judge, is able to pass any sentence short of death, and is .supremo in both civil and criminal cases, thero being no appeal from his decision in ths Supremo Court of Fiji; and whether the person now holding the office possessed the age and expenonoo nepeseary for the exercise of these extraordinary powers. Mr Ashley, the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, replying, said the Island of Kotuinah was a very small island attached to the colony of Fiji, though several hundred miles distant from it. The revenue to bo raised from the island was so small that it had not been found possible to ap point any judicial officers. The facts stated in the question, therefore! were sub stantially correct; but all sentences of im prisonment of raoro than twelve months, and all fines of more than £50, must be reported to the Governor of Fiji, who, in conjunction with the Chief Justice and the Attorney-General, reviewed the evidence and gave his decision upon it. It was quite true that the person hold ing the office of Resident Commis sioner was a young man, He wa» a clerk in tho Lands Office and to the Executive Council of Fiji, and the Colonial Office had no reason to doubt that he pos sessed tho nocossary qualifications. There had been no complaints as to this officer.

Colonial Deitencoa,

On the same evening Sir GeorgeCampbell asked tho Under-Secretary for the Colo nies whether it was understood that the colonies having what was called responsible - government, had tho power to raise military and naval forces without reference to the Government in England; whether they could order armed sea-going vessels without such references. a.nd whet-hep tho polony of Queensland ho.d actually done so. Mr Ashley: The polonies, having a re sponsible government, are expectedto pro vide for their own internal defence. Some, like the South Afrioan colonies, have estab lished a land force, and some, like Australia, have ships. The Colony of Queensland in cludes all islands within 60 miles of the main land, and with the full approval of the Go vernment, they are providing several small vessels for the defence of tho colony, Mr O'Kelly asked; Iloes Queensland includo How Guinea? Mr Gladstoue signi fied a negative. Commenting on tho above, the " St. James's Gazette" of the following day remarkod i " The quostion asked by Sir Sir George Campbell yesterday on colonial defences reminds ono of Uie rapid advance made _by our Australasian colonies in this direction. A day or two ago wo drew attention to the useful vessel which tho Natal Government had ordered. A still more important addition to colonial-navies is the large and well equipped torpedo boat built for tho Vic torian Govornment, launohed from Messrs Thorneycroft's yard on August the 18th. Altogether, tho various Australasian states havo a formidable fleet of gunboats, which would mako the most venturous of naval l'owors think twice before sending filibus tering squadrons to tho Pacific in case of a war with England, Sydney will soon be one of the strongest harbours in the world, bristling with 35-ton guns, and manned by fine brigade of artillery—paid, armed, and clothed by the colony, and while these infant states (whose population does not yet equal three millions) are earnestly fulfilling the first duty of a nation—that of native defence—tho Imperial Government is con tent to leave Hong, Kong 'at the mercy of any second or third-class onemy's ironclad that might elude tho British fleet,'"

The Labour Traffic In tho Ptiotflo. By far the most cogent and reasonable dofonco yet offered on behalf of the labour traflio in the Pacific is contained in a letter recontly contributed to the " Times " by Mr Carl A. Foilborg, of Melbourne. This gentleman does not deny that a good deal of kidnapping was practised in the old days, when the islanders were entirely ignorant of tho naturo of a labour agreement and the process of obtaining thoir consent was a mere farce—" as great a mockery, in fact, as it would bo to gain the intelligent assent of a child in a pinafore to a, complicated legal document." But those days have long passed away. "The abuses of the labour traffic," Mr Feilherg jxiinted out, " lessened by the regulations ot the Queensland Go vernment and the watchfulness of Her Majesty's vessels in the Pacific, were still further diminished by a natural procoss. As squad after squad of islanders who had served their three years iv Queensland were landed in their native islands, the home staying natives became better acquainted with plantation service. The labour vessels for many reasons confined their visits to these islands. There was always much danger and difficulty in breaking fresh ground in recruiting, while there was little difficulty in getting a full supply of labourer* from the islands previously visited. Indeed, of late years a large and growing proportion |

of Polynesians landed in Queensland have '■; been ' return' islanders, i.e., men v-]j 0 H had, after a short run ashore, wished 1 lit to return to the plantations to ea rn more money, and procure. the means ill for another grand display of among their fellow-tribesmen and neitrh. bours. These men, of course,' kri'ew exactly what they were doing, and it is not"-* 8 conceivable that the others, who must .lava i ■'■ heard all about the_ colony from their friends, could be in ignorance concerning ' ■" their engagements, In fact, for many years before I left Queensland, some twelve ' months ago, anything that could fairly b» 19 called kidnapping had entirely ceased That many Polynesians who landed in the • colony found plantation life not quite what they expected, Ido not deny; and I have ■'$ no doubt that die labourers included raanv i men -who had left their helpless families H many sons who had deserted their parents' m or tribesmen who had thrown off their allegiance to their chiefs. But it is not Wt possible to have a system of emigration which does not give rise to these painful incidents. Do we not see constantly in these colonies European immigrants thoroughly dissatisfied with the chanew I they have made, and lamenting that they have spoiled their lives by the fatal blunder 11 of leaving the Mother Country? Many 1 successful and contented colonist passed ' M the early years of his residence here in I B bitter repining against what he called tho 1 false representations which induced him to come to Australia. What should we think I of a stranger who, hearing these reclama '' tions, should charge Australia with virtually > ' kidnapping British subjects to fill her empty territory t And yet some of the charm ' ! against the labour traffic of Queensland as at present conducted, rest on no better foundation. "I can quite conceive" Mr Feilberg goes on, "that many painful scenes may be enacted on the beach ofa f South Sea island as the recruitiue boat pushes from the shore, while friends and relations are lamenting tho doparture of '■' their loved ones in all the simple abandon ment of savage grief. And yet docs such a ■ scene imply blame to the colony which sends ;: forth the labour vessel ? Thero is one wav '"J I believe, in which violent scenea vet occur. Whenever white men come in con. •■' tact with barbarous races, quarrels invari'. ably arise about women,and it unfortunately ■ happens that Polynesian women have some [ f personal attractions and are notoriously unchaeto. Quarrels so produced when every brutal passion is in; the ascendant aro " always dangerous, and I have no reason to ■ doubt that the men engaged in labour H vessels play their part in creating them But I deny that these unfortunate respite are due to the labour trade as a labour trade. Quarrels over women will occur in '■''" the South Seas as long as white traders H visit the islands for any purpose, and cannot be made fairly chargeable to the ;i special traffic carried on by Queensland and I Fiji. And how are they to be avoided. ; You cannot turn back the hands of the m clock; you cannot seal up the islands, and cause them to revert to the condition of 1 isolation in which they existed befow II white men visited their shores. And f>l here cornea in what may be called • i the kernel of the whole question. I can if well understand the despair with which the V missionaries must regard the labour trade, J By their patient, courageous, and persistent '! efforts they h&ve succeeded in planting tho I germs of civilisation in some of these islands, - The growth and development of these germs depended od maintaining their seclusion. The missionaries found the islanders very j docile, and ready to be taught by them-:' but that very docility, arising, as it does! - from the fickleness and want of determina- ■ tion of the Polynesian race, proved their greatest bane. They said, 'Be baptised, com© toschool, build better houses, andliyo the lives of model Christian communities;' and the islanders set willingly about doing .' what they were told. Then came the ■'-. traders, sayirg, 'Come with us to Fiji and 'Si Queensland, and we will give you the means '$ of buying rifles ond powder, fine clotheoji't sharp tools, and nil manner of nice things;' and the islanders just as readily r2 left the church, school-house, and all behind them to follow the new guides.' Nor was this all the mischief. The depar ture of so many of the young and vigorous ,'-!j men had a most pernicious effect on the "'■ ■"■' social condition of the tribes, and their 3 return full of new ideas—and, I regret to '"' say, new vices—armed, rich in the estima tion of the islanders, disposed to scoff at' native authority, 'advanced thihkera' who had all their faith in Chris tianity destroyed by aotual contact' with a Christian community, must neces sarily have upset tho benevolent ,30. potism which the missionary teachers. : sought to establish, But again I ask,'. what can be done now ? As far <fe my ex-V perience goes, it would be better for any coloured race if they never saw white men; and Christians; but, once the poison which' we Christians communicate by contact with such barbarians as the Polynesians has begun to work, I fear its operation cannotijf,[> be stayed. You can never, I fear, bring1! back the Polynesians to their primitive con-^jjj dition, even if you should close up ever™ island and not permit another European to ■- land on their shores." Mr Feilbur*,' cou-i ( eludes by urging that the Commissioned^ should take local evidence in Queensland! and Fiji, as well as in London, Tho Annexation Trouble In the House of Commons, the other night, Mr Ashmead-Bartlett, who is a terrible bore and much dreaded by the Government■■' because of his faculty for manufacturing'!! aggressive (and wine times out of teof utterly useless) questions, renewed that annexation trouble by wanting to know! whether the Government intended to par* any attention to the unanimous wish of th colonies that a British protectorate shonl be established over New Guinea. Ht further hinted that if England didn't annex New Guinea soon Fronoe would. Mr Glad stone, replying, declined to consider Mr Ashmoad-Bartlett'sinuendoes about France, and denied that there was any reason to1? suppose that New Guinea would be annexed by a foreign Power. He said Queensland had asked Government to confirm oertaini proceedings re New Guinea, and the Government had not thought fit to do so. The representations made to Lord Derby by j the Agents-Qeneral bore reference, atrktly speaking, to the Pacific Islands only. What I was the real wish of the Australian colonies - , re New Guinea, it was perfectly open to theii i Australian colonies to moke known, and -• they might he sure of the Government , giving respectful consideration to.the same.,

The Memo, of tho Agents-General,

The Shipwrights and the Non-durability of Our Timber.

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—l have read from time to time the re- . ports which have appeared re the above subject, and I must cay that I am surprised c . to find tho shipwrights, apparently one and ■;-. . all, contending that our pohutukawa tim-. ber is all that can be desired for ship-build-? ing purposes. I think the absurdity1 of thii ; can be shown in two „ ways. In thofiret; place, I would ask is it not a fact that in the North puriri is being largely used becaueeol the unreliability of the first-named wodt ; , and, in the second place, is it not a fact that several vessels in Auckland, after being built but six or seven years, have been found «_ with their framing absolutely rotten ? I<et meenumerateone ortwo: There is the Wara tah, owned by Messrs Goldie, which, about • ; six years after being built—by one of our most faithful builders—had to have tha whole, or nearly so, of her framing taken | " out and renewed, very much to the disgust , of her owners. The same gentlemen, when purchasing the Lancashire Lass a few months ago, had an allowance of £50 made;; because some of her timbera were not - sound, although a comparatively new vesseL ; . And then, what was the report'of the ship- :■ , wright who examined the Gem, lately sola;;,, by the New Zealand Insurance Co! In her j - case, as in the others, the timbers had taken tho dry rot, and required to be renewed. Now, I havo no desire to drive ship-build ing from our shores; but I claim in tbe. interest of owners that shipwrights ought ,' !: to ftscortein the cause of tho decay an*■<,' ; provide a remedy for it, either by cutting tho timber at the proper season or els« S arranging to fill in between the timbers and -j.- the inner and outw skin with^ rock salt. Some remedy must bo found if our builders ;; want to keep the trade of ship-building: in our midst,.for, from my experience, father; r than have one built here, I would send to ■ some other district where tho durability of its timbers cqujd he guaranteed.—Yours,?, r &c, v SmrowNEH, j

In the matter of TEA, Queen-street is not Auckland, It may anit tho few to havo it thought so, but a discriminating public havo determined Othorwiso. AUCKLAND, in fact, is becoming a largo City, and narrow ideas won't do. The undersigned cannot boast of having made a TEA TRADE by going, mendi cant fashion, from door to door, encouraging people of limited moans to got unnecessarily Into debt, but with steady purpose has sought to Borvo tho public need in supplying a GENUINE ARTICLE at REASONABLE RATES. The singular success that has attended this unob trusive way of carrying on business (In a second-rate street) is a source of unfeigned satisfaction. Thofactof havlnglmpprted FIFTY THREE TONS OF TEA (Ship's Measurement) during the last 9 months speaks sufficiently of public appreciation. The undersigned has en larged his promisos, and facilities for a still greater output. Not being ablo to get it into, has had made in tho building a very largo TEA BLENDER, 60 that in future ho trusts to avoid the occasional irregularities of flavour observ ablo in tho past. F. W. sincerely thanks his customers in all parts of the Province, and assures them no effort will be spared to satisfy every legitimato demand.
