Since writing the above, Dr. F.- Stewart has been selçoted for the post of Acting Colonial Secretary, in the place of Mr M.S. Tonnochy, and this cir- cumstance leads to a confirmation of the belief that Governor Hennessy's course of action with regard to the disposal of particular favour. It may be recollected this office has not been regarded with

that it was upon Dr Stewart's resigns tion that Mr Toonochy was appointed, and that we ventured at the time to think that the course then followed by His Excellency was not calculated to promote the best interests of the Colony. Now that Dr Stewart resumes his posi tion, the wheels of Government may be expected to revolve with a, smoothness to which the Service and the commu- nity have been comparative strangers for the last five years.
