NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Imperial Government are resolved apparently to make the Bureau of Emi gration, to collate and diffuse in formation for the use of intending emi grants, which they have established in connection with the Colonial Office, as effective a 9 possible. In connection with this scheme, Messrs Hazell and liodgkin, members of the Committee ot Management, are at present making v tour of tho colony, and are arranging as they travel for the appointment of neces sary reliable correspondents. As regards New Zealand, they find that'the routine of the immigration offices of the various cities already provides almost entiiely for their re quirements. Messrs HazeJl and Hodgkin are visiting some of the principal agricul tural settlements in the colony. They will be in Auckland early next week.

One of the best reaEons why Auckland should put forth special excrtione to make the Maritime Exhibition a success is to be found in the evident jealousy with which the people of Wellington regard it. ■■ Over"£10,000 were taken out of the Colonial Treasury for the Industrial Exhibition held at Wellington, and we heard nothing then ' of any proposal to raise local' subscriptions to cover the deficit. But now that an Exhibition is proposed to be held in Auckland, the " Post," which is thoroughly Wellingtonian in sentiment, after pooh poohing the scheme, expresses the opinion that the proposed local subscription ia a - good device to kill it. The article in ques tion bears ou its face such un mistakeable evidence of envy and chagrin' tnat we reproduce it ; "Sir Julius Vogels prospects (sayß the "Post") of an International Maritime Ex hibition at Auckland in 1890, is not at all likely to be realised. It seems to have failed to - elicit any enthusiasm in its favour even in Auckland, and it has undoubtedly been most coldly received in other parts of the colony. We know of nothing in the position of Auckland to justify it in asking the world to rend mari time exhibits there for an international show. The idea of any New Zealand port * undertaking a spacial exhibition of thia kind is, we think, rather ridiculous. We are glad to notice that the Treasurer does-not propose to throw the whole cost of his scheme nn the public funds. He .talks only £ for £ sub sidy. This is undoubtedly a wise provision, but it is one morally certain to prove fatal to the scheme; for Auckland is not at all in a position 10 raiea or give substantial guarantee for the amount re quired to be raised voluntarily The ad vantages it would derive from such an exhibition are extremely dubious."
