NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Mr Gladstone has replied in a courteous autographic letter to the address of tho Irißh ladies acknowledging his services in the cause of Home Rule. The letter is dated Ha warden- Castle, Chester, December 11, 188G, and says of the address:—"l am oot less struck by the feeling which ■ l.a_r;Dr"" ,nf<>_! it;' tnan *n'P rf-B* !(J<i^Dy tlt,a taste whfchtvery f ft _*r.^L iC beautiful state of freshneS^*^*£ v: ferns havo arrived is an apt.sytno<jr>S_tT__^ affectionate feeling which unites tbiscouctry* to all ils possessions over sea, save one, and - shows us bow thought and sentiment pass between communities of the globe without losing any of their savour. I haye1 said ' save one,' and to efface that One exception', and so complete the list, has been ,with me for more than twenty years aa object! of the highest price. The best of my pub ' lie efforts have been devoted to it. Of none of these do 1 repent, but I rejoice to have a share m many acts of justice and prudence. at various times in the last ha.f-century, as> well as in some which I cannot look baclff, upon with equal satisfaction, I ho,yo va ■'*.'_ arrived at the last of the Beries. Ear iia~y. being discouraged, I am deeply thankful fi.-., tho great progress the cause has made' dutY iug later months at home ;4or the wiHe and x warm sympathies of other lands, including inaikcdiy Iho colonies ; and for having en joyed the support aud cooperation of a a" body of colleagues, than whom none are/ more experienced in affairs of State, or;, ttaud higher in ..public estimation. But you - - do well to remind me iv your address that there is One above us and them who rules and overrules our poor counsels, and to whom we may fearlessly, commit a cause, alike beneficial to all the. countries con cerned in it, and to all sects and classes of their people."

Major Atkinson is in Wellington,'atjd has had several interviews with the Premier. "It-. is expected—although the "Po6t"~.d_- ' clinoe to vouch for the truth of the report—that S'.r Robert Stout and Major Atkinson will both leave for; Eogland next week to represent the colony at the Colonial Contershce. In reference to * this subject the '' Poet" says :—'' Assuming that it is impossible for the Premier, the . Colonial Treasurer, or any member of the Ministry to attend the Colonial Conference in London as a special representative of New Zealand, there is still no reason'why the representation of the colony should be left solely in the hands of the Agent General and such returned colonists as may chance to be associated with him. We feel very strongly that the occasion is one on which the colony should be speci ally represented by an accredited agent of . position and political experience, able to * faithfully interpret the public opinion of his fellow colonists on the varimus' - subjects which will come before the Con ference. Such a representative must go Home for the special purpose. The same causes which preclude the possibility of a Minister going will,, also prevent any prominent member of-the Opposi tion from absenting b'mself from-the colony during the time the Conference' will bo sitting. If, then, a representa tive can be found he must be sought for outside the ranks of the active party "poli ticiaus ot the day. Might we venture to indicate where Buch a representativeJinay bo looked for * Who could more worthily represent Now Zealand in an assemblage of any kind than Sir William Fitzherbert, the Speaker of the Legislative Council ? He is the Nestor of New Zealand politics*, ? and has seen generation after generation m of politicians come and go. His official position is a high one, and his know- ~ ledge of the colony and its people unrivailed. Placed above oil party i-sues, he would be a faithful end able oxponont or tho concensus of public opinion upon all the questions of the day.. There is perhaps no man in New, Zealand more conversant with tho opinions of all its public men, upon all subject_-,th'an he is, and his mature judgment would enable him to avail himself to tbe utmost of this knowledge. Sir Wm. I'itzherbert also is well known-not only throughout tbe colonies-, but by leading statesmen at Home, at the t olonial Office, and io finan cial circles. It should not be forgotten how well he represented New Zealand- when he was sent Home to endeavour to induce the_ Imperial Government to abandon its claims of some three-quarters of a million against this colony for military services- a mission in which he was wholly and entirely successful. Neither should the consummate tact and ability which ho afterwards displayed in negotio ting the conversion of the provincial: • loans be lost sight of. It may be objected that Sir Wm. Filzh<n-bert'B' advanced ogo renders him ineligible, but there is no force in the 'objection.'.' . If-;.physically, less vigorous than of yrrejhii. miffdisacti'vj.f logical, and keen as ever. -_" Thoso who heaia him speak at the meeting of early settlers on Anniversary Day need nob be told that his mental vigour, ia unimpaired. .In deed he would find in the-front .rank ol politics in England many men considerably older than himself."
