NOTES AND COMMENTS.

It will be remembered that a promise was made by the Premier during the last session that the Government would effect a earing to the extent of £30,000 or £40,000 per annum in Departmental expenditure. From Wellington it is reported that already steps have been taken to reduce the expenses :of the Native Lands and Native Land Courts Departments by about £5,000 a year,' including travel, ling expenses. It is not stat d the precise means by whiph this saving will be accom plished, but it will for the most part be anno by reductions in the number of officers and amalgamation of offices. Three Land Court judges will' retire on the 31st March, their services being no longer required, as the Government will take advantage of a clause in the Native Land Court Act to appoint R. Ms. as recorders wherever necessary. Recorders have all the powers of judges of the Native Land Courts. The names of the retiring judges have not been mentioned. Two will retire upon their pensions and one on com pensation, •

We learn that in order to,make further provision for the defence of the colony it is intended to take 50 men in from the per manent field force to be trained *in field artillery exercise, more especially in ths ueo of Nordenfeldt guns. These will also receive practice in pri-rison artillery duties. Thiß forgo will bu Uaioed in Welling ton, and afterwards distributed as, required amongst the fortified ports. The Kawhia contingent will be brought down, and will constitute part of'the 50 to be trained. Affairs in that district are now in such a settled state that the maintenance of an armed force there is no longer neces sary, and the " one policeman policy " will be substituted. A few men will be brought from Opunake, but a Email reserve will still be left in. that locality. At Wel lington; the Ngahauranga battery' will be offored to the Petone Naval Artillery for practice, and the Kanrara battery will be snven into tho caro of the Wellington Navals. The other batteries around Port Nicholson will be garrisoned by membera of the Permanent i Force to «ho iiuiubbr o! about 70 _ntu. It is proposed to have a section of each oi the Volunteer Naval Artillery forces, roia pricing 10 men from eich corp?, trained for torpedo works, special facilities for which will he offered by the Defence Depart ment, ;

With reference So the complaint as to tha want of machinery for bringing the Native Land Administration Actinto working oider, we learn from Wellington, that as the Aeb only came into operation orttba, let instant, there has yet bepn et'ifccely tripe to mako the necessary arrangements. Some weeks ago the necessary forme, etc^ were distributed, and all that now remains to he done i« to gazette the appointment of com missioners.. It is intended to entjuafc this office to the Cornruiasnoners for Crown LaAds in Auckland, Taranaki, Hawke'a Bay, and Wellington. The Crown L»«- officers are now drafting the fciinal appointment, and within afew.dsiysthe Act will doubtless be in practical operation.
