NOTES AND COMMENTS.

a. The1 death of Mr Macandrew has elicited expressions of genuine regret from the whole press of New Zealand. The Dunedin " Star " says : " Mr Macandrew'a political opponents must acknowledge the unselfish efforts that actuated him in endeavouring to achieve his purposes. He was of a sanguine ardent temperament that seemed to despise difficulties, and, like all mew of that class, was in advance of the age.; But in more than one instance be lived to see realised what seemed chimerical when first proposed. Few have lived so active and unostentatious a life. He waß a friend to the poor, from whose petitions . it was not in his generous nature to tarn away; and he had been known to render help at great sacrifice and inconvenience to himself. Among the early settlers, now paesing rapidly away, not one is to be held ; in more kindly remembrance than Mr Mac- ". andrew." -V Our remarks upon the relative wharf V facilities of Wellington and Auckland nave etirred up the "Evening Post," which says:—" Wellington has a reputation for being windy, but Auckland is unap proachable for its blow; and when the facts don't suit, why thoy can always be altered.' This is the case in regard to the figures quoted and argued upon by the Stab. The accommodation of our port is reajly 7,723 feet. Of this borthing no fewer than four bertha are available for direct Btoamors at _ny state of the tide. This is rather better than Auckland. The outer tee, 661 ft long, has a depth of from 23ft to 29ft at low water. No. 2 berth has from 26ft to 27ft, and No. 4 «3ft to 27ft, In Auckland, we believe, the large steamers can never get in nor out at low water. As to working, the matter is one not worth much notice, because those Who are really concerned in using the facili ties provided in each part can readily form their own judgment as to which is the best • but it is as well to have correct ficures on record. The Stab says Wellington wharf accommodation is3,sSsfeot. This evidently refers to the Queen's Wharf only with the Railway Wharf, wool jetty _nd breastwork berths added (not includiW tha bo.t harbour berthing facilities). The Queen's wharf alone has aa area of 177 ano equate feet, of which 47,250 feet are under cover. The total area of the harbour shed accommodation in port is 974,667 cubic tee-j Tbe-e are facts. The Auckland people may digest them. We have no feel, ing of rivalry in the matter.._ As tocontem- . plated extensions, there is no use in en termer - on any discussion. Auckland contemplates a lobeme involving an expenditure of upwards of half a million, for which it has yet to provide ways and means; we contem plate harbour improvements, involvintf a n.w wharf at Te Aro, _nd a lare extension of breastwork wharfage, for which we can sco more Mfty to find tbe money. It is, howeverivSrnneceßeary to speculate on probabilities." -.The remarks of our irate contemporary.vaimply tend to confirm what we have", stated often before, that in the. matter of berth age lor large mail steamers and shed accommodation,1 Wellington has at present much better facilitieaihan we have. In all. other respects tha* port U .rimphr » nowhere. It isiS.:. oar -IwQr (Bwrtf tolr push on the workahe»iw_icl-aM. necessarr ■■■ to remove the acknowledged defioitaciw. """
