perty' side of the question had not been. præcated in any form. We can only ask why his own notion of "what he calls enlightened selfishuess' was not carried into practice by a ventilation of the landed property side of the question. Mr Sharp has not hitherto boon backward in making his views known to the community; and mirely he did not expect that those who opposed him, were to take up the cudgels. on his behalf. One explanation may be put forward. He was under the fattoring

belief, perhaps, that the landed property side of the question was in good handa And, again, he may have fancied (for he is generally regarded' sa a man who

is vory level-headed) that the arguments against any large tax on shipping were stronger than any that could be advanced

in its favour. His apecch atto-day's meet- ing seemed to prove the latter proposition. We have no space to-night to demonstrate this expression of opinion. But, spite of the alleged prejudice shown in the oppos

tion to the tax on shipping, we are perfect-

fly content to commend Mr.Sharp's defence of the proposed tax, and leave the judg- ment with those of our Colonist residents. who will be called upon to pay the money, in the event of the Light Duos being limit- ed merely to the maintenance of the lights.
