2. In this circular Mr Chamberlain stated that in almost all cases in which complaints had been made, against the Crown Agents of mistakes or noglect in their commercial transactions, and in which sufficient details were supplied to enable investigation to be made, the Crown Agents had furnished satisfactory explanations; and I have been glad to note that after most careful consideration of the answers to his despatch, my predecessor plased on record his opinion that the number of complaints was small in proportion to to the number of Colonies which had sent replies; that few of the complaints were | serious; that, allowing for the percentage of mistakes for which allowance in all consideration the very small charge for business must be made, and taking into
agency which the Colonies have to pay, the existing system had beyond question. worked well for the Colonies; and that the Crown Agents had deserved the cou- fidence alike of the Govornments of the Crown Colonies, and of successive Sec- retaries of State.
3. Having come to the conclusion that the Colonies derive both direct and indirect advantages from the present system, Mr Chamberlain went on to consider whether there were any details in which the system could usefully be modified.
4. The answers to the circular contained various complaints, well or ill founded, of delay in. complying with the r quisitions sent from the Colonies; and one source of 661 delay was found to be the necessity which

under the existing regulations, is laid upon the Crown Agents of making constant references to the Colonial Office, for authority to carry out the wishes of the Colonial Governments.
5. Under the Colonial Regulations, re- quisitions for stores may be made direct to the Crown Agents only if the expenditure has been duly sanctioned by law or ordin- ance or by previous instructions from the Secretary of State'; and every requisition must bear a reference to the authority for the expenditure. But many requisitions, containing no indication of the authority under which they are made, are sent direct to the Crown Agents, and though the expenditure in such cases may be--as a matter of fact, often have been-10- thorised, all such requisitions have to be referred by the Crown Agents to the Colonial Office for the Secretary of State's approval.
6. Mr Chamberlain accordingly came to the conclusion that, in order to minimise the number of references to the Colonial Office, and the consequent delays, and in order to make the Crown Agente, as regards their commercial business, more directly responsible to the Colonial Govern- Jnents, it would be well to modify the
regulations relating to this subject.
7. Ho decided that the Crown Agents shall in future comply with all requisitions

·SEQUEL TO AN IRISH · WAKE,
An amusing case was heard in the Dublin Police-court on the 24th ult., before Mr Swifte. A middle-aged woman, named Mary O'Neill, was charged with having obtained £8 by false pretences from the British Legal Life Assurance and Loan Company (Limited). From the statement of Mr Brady, prosecuting solicitor, it ap peared the Accused induced a Mrs Bridget Connol, who had an insurance policy with the Company, to pretend she was dead. She was laid out,' with candles at the head and feet, and awake' was held. Mary O'Neill then went out, obtained a doath certificate from a doctor, went to the Insurance Company, and was paid the £8 as next-of-kin of Bridget Connell. Subsequently, Bridget Connell, receiving none of the money, and hearing that Mary O'Neill was having a high old time of it. driving about in a cab with a soldier and a coal-porter, got up, and went down to the Insurance Company, to ask them why they had paid her policy. She surprised the local manager of the Company by saying. I'm Bridget Connell, and not dead at all.' On being put into the witness-box, Mis Connell said she remembered boing laid out,' but did not pretend to be dead.
Mr Brady. There was a real livo wake and a real live corpse, and there was plenty of portar?--Yos. They got in porter, and
they got in another candle, and put it in a bottle. They were all dancing and top ping about the boards (laughter).
Did you get any of the porter? Yes : T tot a sup (laughter).
Accused at this point exclaimed, When
we went to wash and lay her out she came
to lifa ngain, and wo all rushed out (laughter).
According to Detetive-officer McCabo's statement, when he arrested Mrs O'Neill she admitted that she get the money, and added, My aunt was dead from seven 'clock in the morning (laug' ter), Mrs Nolan then went to wash her, and she woke up (laughter), and we all got a great fright and ran out. Oh, sunt,' I said, I received your Society money, and I am going back with it She called me and told me to give it to her, as she was in debt.

This book takes the reader with the rapidity of a whirlwind, scene after scene, through the length and breadth of Australia. The Whirlwind is the hero, whose many adventures and experiences in cities, plains, back blocks,' gold diggings, stockyards, the untracked and untrackable desert, we follow with increasing interest, for the book is full of truthful sketches of sconery and of the various and varied cha- racters that have helped to make Australia what she is today. The man who cants, and the man who acts straight, the woman who gives her name to the book, True Eyes, and the woman who has no name, all help and are helped by the “Whirl. wind,' who is the restless hero that the reader cannot help liking. The book is well worth reading, and adds yet more to the reputation of the author as a man who understands his business,

This is a story of the times of Elizabeth
and of the struggles for supremacy that
took place in her time between the Papacy and the Protestant party. Mr Walford has woven an interesting tale round the
old house of Delaval. the courtship and marriage of its only daughter, the intrigues, passions and jealousies of a scheming wo man, who calls the Black Familiars' to her aid. All the characters come before us as fallow mortals ɔne could wish the win- some Katherine had been won by a more steadfast lover.
