THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MEETING. Thursday's Legislative Council mesting was very considerably lewe barron of interest for the genanal public than is usually the osso with such gatherings. In addition to the introduction, of new billa, there was some very plain speaking by His Excellency on the subject of local recruiting and, further, a very spirited apeech by the Hou, Mr. E. A.

Another point in Mr. Hewett's speech is worth drawing atten tion to. We refer to his suggestion that the sooner such names AI "Blindenheim" disappear from the Colony's records, the better. With this all our readers will agree. No one, probably, objects to the Government's bestowing a certain amount of pablic money on charitable organisations which were started by German misionar. ies, but since these are now under British ocatrol and since the Ger mans are unlikely at any rate for some time to be welcomed in
