Of course, we can easily so that he was joking, but even so practical a joke as the appropriation of money for a gun boat against the wishes of a large section of the Colony aliould be carried out with courtesy. And in this particular Si Richard's policy sometimes fails. With undoubted ability, he neglects to supple- ment his action with that courteous expression which, though unnecessary to ensure compliance, adds materially to the cheerfitness with which measures oppos- ed to the sense of the community are regarded. Upon this point "Public opi nion "by which, we mean that of the officials, professional meu, merchants, &c., residing here, and of all who resort hither-is unmistakeable. Upon another Teatter of "public opinion," we may however, as well correct a statement which His Excellency is represented as having made, to the effect that he has been subjected.to a series of personal attacks.

opinions, having at any time indulged in the "personalities" of which Sir Richard would make it appear he has been the victim. This repudiation, unnecessary As it is here, is needed to put the matter in its proper light before home and other distant readers.
But as touching public opinion "as to the course of Sir Richard's policy, is is marvellous that so able an official should be so much in the dark, possessing as he
does such unusual facilities for arriving at correct information. He refers to the Preposterous, and admits that public opinion "Bat upon" that curious problent in Naval Architectare.
