Charitable Aid Society.

To the Editor.) gin _I consider the proposed committee in connection with tho establishment of the •ibovc Soeietv far too many—"so many men so many minds." The principal objec tions arc where so many have to be consulted, tho impossibility of obtaining unanimity. A"'am, one depends on another, and in the cml qnorums arc with diiliculty obtained. I feel quite satisfied, to ensure success, it will bo necessary to have one paid officer, not only to aid in dispensing money gifts it kind small loans, clothing, &c, but also to make inquiries and to satisfy tlie Committee as to the genuineness of the various applications or cases requiring any monetary help, medical aid, or assistance at particular times. If the ladies in tho past found the matter too much for them, perhaps, as a preliminary, it would he as well to give the Society a start, and afterwards secure their valuable aid. I would suggest that various medical gentlemen shc'<fld"b<HJsktnfTo*lict' iii"!^ as honorary medical oflicers, and that one be appointed to deal with purely cases of poverty and distress; also that collection box"s be provided for all our large estab lishments, marked, "In Aid of the Auck land Benevolent Society.—l am, &c., Practical,

Earl Carnarvon on Pacific Annexation.

London, December 29. Tho " Daily News " commends the pro posals of the late Conference to ensure the protection of the lands of tlie natives of New Cuinea. Lord Carnarvon, writing in the " Contemporary Review," thinks it would be impolitic of England to insist on the application of the complete Munroo doctrine in tlie Pacific, and that it might be possible, with the con currence of France, to secure the complete neutralisation of the .New Hebrides, but that it is unlikely that France will consent to abandon the penal settlement scheme under external pressure from the present insufficient efforts to secure complete Australasian federation. The Pacific squadron is also too weak, He expresses a hope that the Imperial Government will find itself able to concede most of what the Conference lias demanded. It would be sufficient to annex the coast of New Guinea, without interfering with the in terests of that country.
