TWO COMMISSIONS. ⠀⠀
The appointment of two Commisions of Enquiry is gazeftxi in a recent isans of the Boletim Oficial. The first is the Land Com. mission, having for its object the investigation. of the titles of land in this colony and other kindred subjects. The wonder is that anoh an enquiry was not held long ago. The re- port should set at rest many a misappre. hension as to the alleged esistens of defective titié dosds and the re-nijustment of boundaries of existing lots. As to the latter head of inquiry it is suggested that several encroachments should be looked into. A similar question aforded the Hongkong and Com mission much scope for useful work.

The story will perhaps not appeal to all; the reader cannot himself be tho wiser or better for having read it, though certain Ед ас- characters are admirably portrayed. cordance with popalar opinion the hero at length finds refuge in the garb of the Jesuit, The author's conceptions of the Bigh Church party are in many respects novel, and her necusation of Broad Church laissez faire as typified in one character in obrionely najust.

Seets readers in particular should appropiate the story; for it is concerned with Scots and Soctland throughout.
