As usual, there will be a big feast, and tho native land question will be discussed. At the inquest ou the boy Scrutton, who died from the consequences of a fall from a horizontal ladder at East Christchureh Public School,' it came out that the usual precaution of placing a layer of tan under the ladder had been neg lected.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Those who profess to believe that Mr Uladstono has lost bis influence in const) quence of tbe Conservative Hartington- Chamberlain combination will bo rather at - loss to account for the victory just achieved by a staunch Gladstonito at Burnby, a town and parliamentary borough in Lancashire. In consequence of the death of Mr Poter Rylands, a by. election-has taken place there. The fiat went forth froni the Unionist headquarters for All Liberal Unionists to vote ior the Conservative can didate ; nevertheless a supporter of Mr Gladstone waa returned by a 3ubstantial majority. It is true that he replaces a Liberal, but Burnby has not been a par ticularly safe Liberal b.irough. In tbe election which took place in December, 1885, after the readjustment of the representa tion, theConservativecandidate polled with in 667 of his opponent, andMr Kylands was a very popular man. In the present election the Liberal majority was 545. The differ ence of 122 votes represents just about the value of the Hartington-Chamberlain i n fl u : ence among the majority of the English Liberal electors, who are, at heart, true to the Grand Old Man who has for su many years Jed the party along the pathway o£ reform.

The Impetial Institute, to celebrate tbe Queen's Jubilee, has not been taken up with tiiat enthusiasm which, might havo been expected. Objections and difficulties have been raised at every stage of its career, both at Homo and in the colonies. In Australia it is rather cold-shouldered, and some trouble is encountered in arriving at a basis of contributions from tho several colonies. A latu Australian paper gives the following statement show ing the position of affairs :—" It is not tho intention of thu Victorian Government, so: far as at present appears, to hold any special celebration in commemoration of tbs jubilee year of Ber Majesty's reign, and, except taking part m the eutablisb. ment oi the proposed Imperial lr. ttituto in Lonilou, ihe ovent will, be allowed, ou tbo part. of this colony or, ieust, to pass unnoticed. Even with regaid to this lurtiiute matters tire very much at n standstill in tho colonies. The sum, of 120,001), apporrioned on tho basis of population,- which Mr Gillies proposed should bo jointly ootifribucod by the vari ous colonies for tho purpose, uocs not appear to be regarded ns sufficient. Thia icjea is entertaitibd by tho New South VValca and Queensland Governments*.and in de ference thereto the Victorian Premier haa written to the South Australian Govern ment to the effect that the amouht tniehfc bo increased lo -50.000 or £35,000. Koiitb. Auatreliti; however, holds to the. oiiginpl sum, a.ry.l a want of unanimity w expert- Booed at this outset. 1 here in now tho proportion to suppltt-aot the amount by private subscripticES, and lieta havo baen forwarded to the various Goveru-ienre for that purpose. All the colonies are tup posed to share in tho contributions, includ ing Tasmania. Now Zealand's part in tho undertaking will bo a separate and ad ditional matter altogether." . It is rathor curious that no P_n!rna3t6r- General in New Zealand has ever sought to emulate the fame ot Rowland Hill. Surely a penny postal delivery tvitbin tho colony would prove remunerative Mc S. Houfc sends the following note on thei subject: "By way of a cfeauge of newepapV.i pro vender frcra murders past ohctr' pr_.eo,u, it may not be amis-s to name that of T»itaf..o 1 retori_. Fom various indications} it tetnia j pretty evi'derjt that the public rcitid ia I gradually waking up towards snrao r; lv ;j_ai i reform being accomp'.ißho.i in theroucrer tig po-tage rates. '-(.'»«"penny ■ within td. colony, and twopence anywhere in the English speaking .civilised world out side, is what may apparently be antici pated before to very long; . unci which too, if carried out, would probably in a i ; comparatively short period double tbe pi_ , .sent postal; revenue. If tbii'md reform j could bamaue.to date from the 20th of June next, woiildit not also help to form a very suitable and popular memorial of tb« Queen's Jubilee!" . • '
