The Imperial Government havo agreed to appoint a Select Committee to report upon the condition of the lifeboat services in the United Kingdom.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Much as we should like to see the long dis puted question of St. Paul's Church site and Emily Place settled, we think Mr Kalian cc haß acted perfectly right in declining to remove the police from the healthy quarters in which they are now located, in order to lodge them at a barracks in the present City Council Office?, High-etieet. There are a large number of single men in the force who have to be lodged in the city, within easy call, and the barracks at Albert Park has affoided them a healthy and airy place pf residence. It is truethatthe Government might improve the buildiugvery much internally ami externally; but it would be a hardship upon theee men, end the health of the force could rot be muintfiined, if they were compelled to live in a building like that in fChancery ttreet, which is too confined &nd has no proper conveniencesforrefidcntial purposes. There are eureiv many better fi'.c-s in, the pofses pion of the Council and Government which could be made available for an exchange whh St. Paul's Vestry.

The effort tomanufactureiusulators for the telegraphs in Canterbury has not yielded satisfactory results. A Press Association despatch states that on analysis the Canterbury insulators ;' were found to contain iron and manganese, which will seriouriy interfere with the insulation. The ma-nial in porous, and likely to admit water, 03 the : glaze is not strong 6rough. Aa corapared with the imported German porcelain poods, tho difference is easily seen. The latter are heavy, hard, clear, white in colour, and look- more like; marble than anything else. When fractured tha material iedenpe, and will not take'iu water. These insulatare, which are tested at tho works for powers of resistance, can be imported at 13d each. The Go vernment offered to take 5,000 locally made up to sample at In (id each, and j40,000 at Is 3d, if tho manufacturer succeeded in turning out thG requisite artiqle. This, it was thought, would allow Bjfficient margin for the extra coet of ■production. They have now entered into! a contract with Mr W. White, of Dunedin, on these teim*, but do not anticipate that he will be successful, as it ia belioved tbat the difficulties in the way of the manufacture i-rd obtain ing ] proper materials ate too great. Considering the cost of the neces sary machinery, the Government consider it doubtful whether tho industiy is.worth establishing. In 'he last eight years, only 162.C0) iteulatr.r^ bnvo bten ueed in the colony. If Ue\ '• >'■ all h- -fcn made here, the re'iiin would ro'. l:iv i boen much over £1000 a j ear, aiici tbo profits of course much lees."

The Hospital's Charitable Aid .Act is atil producing considerable) friction'in tome districts. At a meeting of the Charitable Aid Board ut Wangnnui yesterday, the Bubject iindtr disou&ion was the nd viFanility or otherwisa of making a levy of contributions on the bodies which are liabls. Hitherto the plan adopted io that district has been to allc? each body to te'iniKte for Itself the amoiitit lik'tly'o bri vrabted tor charirabln (•id 'during the year, and this boirg , pailj into the Boards account, tho -1 c ill bodies received it back with Guvouiiuemt subsidy. By this planjlaigo counties o-capeu very lightly, whit* thu t)«-os, e^pec-a'ly Waugsriui, bad to p;iy a much larger amount. The Borough Courtcil of Wnnt'»nui declinerl to aniinue ths voluniarj- (•ytte'.>- l ;>nd the Boards soli cit orad v itsd tho Board that they cou'd tiofc. insist on tho payment of voluntary con tributions, there wia no otiiur meana for them' but to make a levy. .All the country mein'otra wore much against this, but having no optinn had to agree to it. During the debate one> inerfl^ex'jre.': markjed that probably during.the eeseion the Act might be amended tp allow one or more, portions bc-hig rated With'oufc Ratine all ji but Mr AlcArthar, nM.H.R, eaid there was no chance of that Whiltfthe.pre sent Government wero in ofT/cc, as tlioic policy all thrcn{rh hid been to cast charit able aid en tho town and country tpgtfther.

rjiRY KIRKPATRIOK'S NEW SEASON'S JAM. SPECIAL NOTICE. Ktrkpatrick's New Season's Jam is made from Nelson-grown fruit, and ia boiled within a few houra after the fruit has been gathered. It thus retains most of the natural flavour of the fresh fruit. Kirkpatrick's New Skason's Jam is the most delicious preserve in the market. Do not be persuaded to buy cheap and inferior brands of jam, the remains of old stock which must be sold at any price, but as!- for Kikkpatriok's New Season's Jam, and see that you get it. The best is always the Cheapest. Kirkfatiuck's New Season's Jam ia the best. CAUTION.
