NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The new Governor of Fiji, Lieut.-Colonel Sir Chas. Bullen Hugh Mitchell, K.C.M.G., gave the inhabitants of that colony a sur prise. He only left Home in the Clyde on November stb. It was-known that he had. business with Sir Arthur Gordon at Ceylon u and it was expected that the reciprocity matter would detain him some time in

Melbourne ; therefore, when he arrived ■ at Suva on the 2nd inst., in the Gungrv, the vessel herself being four days ahead of her ' time, not the provision had been - - made for his reception; ' rXhe matter had been tblked of, but it had■-.- ;W not attained to the practical stage. Having thoroughly dropped upon the good - folk of Suva uuawaies, ilis Excellency next proceeded to catch the Levuka people in undress Iv this he was assisted by' the ' accidental ciicumscance of there being no. Levukacarrier-pigeon in Suva at the time.' . '■ What prompted the immediate visit to '; Levuka is unknown, but it was clearly |pre determined, since His Excellency spoke of it * before leaving the vesbel. His arrival there was quite as great a, surprise as it was in : Suva. Ho remained there from Monday evening to Saturday morning, During the interval he received addresses of-welcome from the Town Board, the Chamber of ; - Commerce, and the Planters' Association. : He also received the townfoJk generally, and put in the rest of his time acquainting \ himself with the place, and making the very strictest personal examination into the state and woiking of every Government office. He is the very opposite of Sir Arthur uordon in manner and address. He is_ as warm and cordial as the other waa stiff and frigid. Consequently, he has made V a moat favourable impression all rbhnd and in the first flush of their en-' •'' ' tbusiaßm ihe verdict of the Levuka PB people is " That's the man for Galway."

On his return to Suva His Excellency : officially received the deputations from local bodies with their addreeses of welcome,' i and the favourable first impression made in ' Levuka was repeated:in Luva. The new Governor has '.' s mighty hard row to hoe*' . before him. Ho has to commence by reducing the general: expenditure by £30,000, or over one-thim of the whole, ; ' and how he is to do it is the puzzle. Ie will, of course, mean a terrible" * cutting down of the Civil Service, on the new estimates now in - coarse of pre paration, and as the comiuunity ii largely j" composed of civil servants, and dependent ■~: - upon Uovernmeot expenditure, His fixcol lency V/ill bu fortunate indeed if hia'popu-. '■'■'". larity survives the operation.

The special settlement movement has not ;. been taken up so heartily in Wellington as ■'■■ k in Auckland, possibly becauee times are more prosperous there. The Wellington' ' Speoial Settlement Association, which was ■/ ■ formed some twelve months ago to■■ settle upon land at Ekatahuna, Forty- > mile -Bush, have \et got only ' as fur as a partial completion of survey of the land. The comotiittee have obtained ; leave from the Government for members to If exchange their sections for the purpose of bringing friends and ! families on to contiguous sections, providing that speculation i 3 strictly pro- ; hibited, fcurh oxchaoge being effectedi before - the naixifcs of fe'ectora are formally sent to ! i the Commissioner of Crown Lands.

The '• Post" views with extreme jealousy --."-- the efforts of Mr Banks on behalf of the : Auckland Meat Storage and Export Com pany to secure regular supplies of stock for * freezing purposes from Taranaki district i which, with Hawke's Bay, it reßa«>i aa Auckland's chief source of meat supplies. An article on the subject concludes as follows:—" We have no: hesitation in sayiDg that it will be a dis grace to Wellington enterprise and railway '■' management if Auckland is thus allowed " r to nuonopalise the West Coast frozen meat trade. With direct communication it ought to bo possible to- briig thb Ha worn etcck to Wellington mora^ cheaply than to take them by rail_ to Waitara, ship them tbence . to Onehunga ,ljy steamer, and either drive '•' or take them^r rail to Auckland. Tba - stock would .fee- far less knocked about ' coming here and would arrive hj much better condition, while the Freezing Company and shipping chargee here ought ■to : be,il they are not, less than In Auckv
