When the celebrater. |notification: (Deo. 14, 1877) appeared; directing that all petitions and letters on Government business must be ad- dressed to the Colonial Secretary," we passert some severe strictures upon the high-handed maunor in which one of the principal functions of a most useful Department was summarily transferred to the Translator at the Government

Indeed, so marked did this unpleasant state of things become that it began to be gene- rally understood amongst thoughtful residents that this new departraantal venture would never receive the sanction of the Colonial Office, and this opinion has been, consistently maintained ever since, notwithstanding the ingenious trick played in the Whitaker Almansek before alluded to.
