AKGLO-COLONIAL NOTSS.

(From Oub, Special Correspondent!)

London, May 6.

The Colonies and the Mew [-•■' -"-'Hebrides.

It is ■ satisfactory to note that the French newspapers seem impressed with ; the determined attitude of the colonial dele gates on the New Hebrides question, ;and are taking a more reasonable tone. The " Temps "on Tuesday evening advocates a joint occupation of the Islands by English and French troops, and several other journals seem hot'averse to this proposal. v J Mr J. C. Brown's Mission.

I saw Mr J. C. Brown, M.H.RJ, of Tiiapeka, the other day, and was glad to learn from him that the prospects of his projected company are, on the whole, con sidered excellent by competent authorities. The Bank of New Zealand is lending Mi- Brown every assistance, and Scrymgours, the New Zealand loan brokers, who are a great power in such matters, seem inclined to back him up with their influence. Mr Brown spends what leisure time he can spare inthe galleries of the House of Com mons. He had just heard John Morley orate when I saw him, and confessed himself nob greatly impressed with the late Irish Chief Secretary.' Mr Brown avers, indeed (and, from all I havo heard, with sound discrimination), that, as a .par liamentary speaker, your Premier, Sir R. Stout, is far superior to many of the fashion able and flashy orators of the Imperial Par liament.

Mr Haughton, of Dunedin, is visiting friends at Rochester. He goes abroad shortly, on a trip to Brussels, Germany, and Italy.L ... , , . .

The Prince of Wales and the

Colonies

On Friday evening Sir Henry Holland, in his official capacity of Colonial Secretary, invited the delegates to meet the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Abercorn, Lord Lome, Lord Rosebery.and other notabilities at din ner at Whitehall. H.R.H. was in much better form than at the Michael and George banquet, and made a cheery, genial speech which delighted everybody. He chaffed the delegates about the secrecy maintained with reference to their proceedings, but added that he understood from Sir Henry Holland great things were being done. The Exhibition last year had without doubt materially increased the entente cordiale be tween the^colonies and the mother country. He sincerely hoped ifc might continue to in crease. H.R.H. wound up by regretting that he had been unable to visit Australasia oi'the Cape. He should much Have liked to do so, but (this very firmly) it was impos sible. His duties at home would prevent him doing so. • Lord'Roseberry expressed a'hope that the delegates , were struck with the way in, which English statesmen who' differed on political questions were able to meet to gether .in private with cordiality, and in some cases with feelings of personal affec tion.- He himself was a strong party man with reference to questions which distracted us in Great Britain, biithecould assure them that'he had no feeling of party whatever with reference to those greater questions Which affected the control 'of' the Eripire. He therefore warmly welcomed "Mr Stan hope's suggestion that this Conference should assemble. He was glad he had done'so, tor he knew important work was beirig done.' Whatever might be tire tra ditions of the Colonial Office, thoy' had iriade a great and salutary innovation in initiating the Conference. V, "_",

: The .other speakers were ; Sir Ambrose Shea and.Sir H._Holland, who, however, said .nothing, particular,,. , , . |

The Colonial Penny Post

. 'On Monday evening Mr Henniker Heaton elicited two facts from the Postmaster- General in the ! H6i.se of Commons of interest -to the -public. • Letters are carried to, Australasian and New Zealandports by 'fast, powerful, and punctual and regular sailing steamships(not under contract) for Id each; but the public are charged (3d each letter, in order to compel them to patronise the expensive 'lines/for which a heavy sub sidy is, paid. He also learnt that nofc less than 25,000 newspapers which are posted ~ for the cbloriies arid India are not forwarded because of .insufficient postage or other irregularities. The mass of these publications is destroyed. In a letter to the " Daily Telegraph," Mr Heaton says :.*—•" Ido not expect to. carry Imperial penny postage at a bound; but my com plaint is thab the Postmaster-General has signed, or is about to sign, a contract to pay a heavy subsidy for the conveyance of Indian'and Australian mails for the next ten years and seven years respectively,' and thus to close the doors of reform in the direction of cheap postage for that period." Indian and Colonial Exhibition Surplus '"■ At the final meeting of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition on Saturday, a surplus of £35,235 ■ was announced, £25,0001 of which will go to the funds of the Imperial Institute, and £5,964 to meet the deficit of the Inventions Show. The report and ac courits will be published directly, they have been presented to Her Majesty. -Tiie balance-sheet of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition, which is now to hand, reveals soriie interesting and instructive facts,.' We learn, for example, that oub of a total expenditure of L 215,218, no less than 1,52,611 went in wages .and salaries.' Sir Phillip Cunliffe Owen was paid LSOO, whilst hePalso''drew his official salary of L 950 as director Of the South Kensington Museum ; and in order to cover these; duties, L 420 was paid to certain of the staff of the museum by "ah arrangement with the Treasury: - With this exception, it; is im-. possible to say what individuals received. The electric lighting bill was very heavy, amounting to the prodigious , total of L 32,787. ' The. colonial wirie-roorii resulted in a loss of L 984, arid the notable artisans' admission scheme of Sir Somers Vine cost L 2,131. Who paid for the countless cham pagne luncheons, dinners, and- suppers at which; Sir/P.; Cunliffe Owen invariably pre sided so genially, we are left to conjecture. The, Imperial Institute. The,. V, Times," commenting on the fact that the Indian and Colonial Exhibition surplus is tb:be applied to the funds of the Imperial Institute, says .:—" The' scheme appears to ,'us; to be'fair and reasonable. .The Imperial Institute is, the successor and natural heir to the Indian and Colo nial Exhibition. It includes in its more comprehensive design, the same purpose as that of the; Exhibition; but carries it out in a better way. Our hope is that it may be attended with the same success. The chief doubt, at present is Whether the need ful 'funds will be forthcoming. Lord Derby, in asserting the. claims of the Institute, forced *to acknowledge that the'appeals made to the public have: not been met as wellas might have been desired. Sir' Francis. Dillon Bell added' his regret that 'the, colonies 'had not. given 'tiie support-they should have done. But thero is yet time for all deficiencies to be made up.. .The, surplus contributed out of. the net profits of the Indian and Colonial Exhibi tion will be a welcome addition to the funds required for. the Imperial Institute. , The Prince of "Wales has the first right to a voice 'in the matter, and in adopting his - suggestion as .to fche disposal of the money' .the Commission have come to ia resolve, which public'opinion will approve."

Miscellaneous. ' Mr J. B. Gilfillan/of Auckland, N.Z., who came home by the Sutlez last month, is at present-staying with friends iii Edinburgh. He has already paid visits at Liverpool and Aberdeen, and purposes coming to London in a week or two. ' " " i Mr Orchardson's famous picture of the j " First Quarrel," which is one of the leading I attractions of the Royal Academy this year,. has been sold to one of the colonial dele gates (on dit Sir Jas. Lorimer) for £2;500. Postscript. . The delegates A-isited Woolwich yester day, in order to inspect the Government Telegraph Dep&fc there. Mr Raikes cice roned the party, who partook of lunch on board H.M.S. Monarch. Sir James Lorimer, in responding to a complimentary toast; commented on the undefended state of the Thames, and said he thought Victoria could set the mother country' a lesson. Certainly Melbourne was far better' defended than London. Sir Wm. Fitzherbert. formally proposed Mr Raikes's health.

Amongst the new M.A:'s of Cambridge, are Mr A. C. Gifford, of New Zealand, and Mr Thomas Giles, of South Australia.

Mr Richard Waddington's colonial ex periences in Australia and New Zealand have just appeared in pamphlet form. " ',

The meeting positively takes place on Saturday next, and anyone on , that day presenting half of the ticket issued at the railway office on Tuesday last will receive another, enabling him to travel free by rail to Te Papa, and also gain ad mittance to the course. This must be con sidered most liberal on the part of the Onehunga Club, for they have agreed to bear the loss. We are requested to give a denial that the Club have not a permit to work the totalisator.

Belle was shipped to , Napier ( via Taranaki by the (jairloch, which left the Manukau this afternoon. J. Rae went in charge of the daughter of Musket, and it is quite on the cards that she may. be taken to Christchurch after fulfilling • her engage ments at Napier.

THE REPRESENTATION COMMIS SIONERS.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

Wellington, this,day. ~_ The Representation Commissioners" have applied themselves diligently to their work ever since their arrival.in , Wellington,, but they do not expect to be able to finish their labours and make their report to the Go vernment in less time than that allowed to them by the Act. They have already blocked out the electorates of both islands roughly, bufc' these temporary , divisions have yet to be carefully revised, and the effect of the provisions of the Act upon them fully considered. Meanwhile, the proposed allotments remain a sealed book.

ROYAL COMIC OPERA COM PANY.

At the Opera House last night Williamson, Garner, and Mnsgrove's Comic Opera Com pany scored another triumph with that beautiful and well-known work of the im mortal Gilbert and Sullivan—"Patience." Perhaps .Mr Vernon is seen to best advantage in this piece, in his care fully thought-out character of Bunthorne. His duet with Miss Alice Barnett, as Lady Jane, was encored three times, and the audience only refrained from again encoring it out of respect for the performers' lungs. The scenery by Gordon is the finest speci men of that gentleman's artistic ability we have seen, even surpassing that of "The Mikado."

To-night there is to be a change of pro gramme, when " The Pirates of Penzance " will be produced for the first time in Auck land by this company. The audiences are still large and enthusiastic, and doubtless this popular opera will have a good " run."

ELECTION NOTES.

'• There were about sixty' persons present afc Mr Russell's address to the electors in the 'East' Hamilton hall on Tuesday night; Mr Russell denied that he: was anoininee of the Government, arid, was undenstood to incline towards a coalition that would include Stout arid Ballance. He beb'eved ; the civil service was overmanned, and he reckoned" he could save from the civil list; expenditure an annual sum of L 212.000. Retrenchment, he believed, might also be made in the education vote. He advo cated the establishment of agricultural colleges, and expressed himself in favour of. Vaile's scheme of railway reform as ifinan- ■ 'cially sound, although he did not believe in all the details. He would, if elected,.ad vocate' a vigorous protection-of thoiie in dustries that would be fostered by ...pro tective tariff., To his mind it appeared that the system of the past had increased the prosperity of the large centres of popu lation at the expense of the country dis tricts. Since 1882, the value of property in Auckland had increased by four mitllions sterling, while in the Waikato it had de creased by half a million. . Afc the* con-j elusion of the speech a vote ofthaiaksto the candidate was accorded on the motion of Mr W. A. Graham. A. Franklin North. Mr W. F.
