There's always somebody at hand with cold water ! Sir Saul Samuel, at the ban quet of tbe Associated Chambers of Com merce, stated that any reduction in the postal rates between Great Britain and the colonies was not feasible at present, and it would therefore be useless to trouble the Imperial Conference with a discussion of the question. The Union Steamship Company havo given Dunedin Harbour Board notice that , they intend to bring an action against the Board for the recovery if £500 damages done in the recent collision between the dredger and Omapere.

Practical joking of a most objectionable character wan indulged in by the occupants of a house in the upper part of BYuukliu Road last evening, iSnseoncad at an up- ' stairs window, they amused themselves by' throwing water upon tbe passera-by, much to the disgust of the latter.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The suggestion made by the Premier to ; Admiral Tryon that a man-of-war should be. sent to Tonga to prevent the occupation of the islands by any foreign power in the event of further disturbance is , a good one, and we hope the Admiral will see hie way to comply with it. Although' the Government of King George ia Strong enough to, put, down any '[&%• ( tempted rising among the malcontents, the presence ot 700 armed men at Tongatabu is a menace to the peace and goori order of the group. Home depredations had already been committed upon (he property of | the Wealeyan Mission, and Mr' , Mbulton had claimed British protection.. Other excesses by the troops might lead to foreign interference, and, as Sir Robert Si out observes, a landingonee made, it might not be very easy to g-st the occupying Power , to withdraw. There is nothing like taking time by the forelock, and a British warship' on the spot woula net only insure the pro jection of British . subjects, but would ' assert tho predominance of British influence, a right which ought never to be eorreri- '*' dered in connection with the Tongan group.

'. Sir George Grey's gift to the Free Public Library is gradually being placed in order. The following letter was received by His > ' Worship the Mayor from the Hawaii ' on Wednesday: " I send by the steamer this day another case of books. There r jtb will yet be two or three more onses to ""WF go. But these last cables will consist in part of modern manuscripts, which take a great) deal of trouble in arranging, but which are I of much interest. 'There are, however, still.;- ■ ' a good many more books. I fear, what with « picture's and other things, he whole of the dollection will hardly reach you before the Library opens, but lam doing my best. I have many things prepared lor packing, and hop;) next week to send you Iwo more ca-es." Sir George ia still in very indifferent health, which has made the work ot packing a particularly arduous task, idehas taken g^ceat pains in the arrangement of the manuscripts and other documents ! which no one but himself could have collected and placed in order. Although the whole of tho library and accompanying gifts may not be in place when the now building in opened, the bulk of the Kawau collection will havo come ut> and will no doubt form one of the moct interesting features at the opening celebr-. tion, • -.-...

Mr John Bright, in a letter addressed to the New South Wales labour delegate, has been giving the ca'.ouiei eomo gcod advice on the attitude of the colonies towards such Imperial movements as that which led to the Soudan campaign and the despatch of a contingent from our sister colony. The five hundred warriors from New Souih W.al<=e, equipped and despatched at' encn, , mousexpenee, were perfectly us"!e-s The troops were not required, and if. reinforce-■ > mente had been wanted they could have been sent far more cheaply from' the mill * tary establishment? of England than from the dear labour mariefa of ihtse colonfe* - The expedition contributed a eubetantui quota to the gigantic deficit which brouoht thb .Jenmngs-Dibba Ministry to critt A wave of popular excitement pro duced by the position and fate of the heroic Gordon caujied the colonist* to losa their henda.
