NEW ZEALAND'S REPRESENTATIVE.
W. Gray, Esq., who came out on the Wonga Wonga as Mail Agent, representiug New Zealand, has since his arrival here been to Washington and back and returns to Auckland by the outgoing steamer. He had no difficulty in at once completing arrangements for the immediate dispatch of the Colonial mails across the continent to Europe. Tho Government at Washington expressed themselves as being only too glad to facilitate the matter. By the way, is it not somewhat unusual for a British Colony to place itself in direct communication with a foreign power without the interveution of the British Minister ? This ignoring of precedents and red tapeism may be taken as a sign of the times. Although no doubt no disrespect to constitutional forms was intended it shows that the Colonists proposo to do their own business in their own way. Tho English Mail for New Zealand, which is a bulky one, has arrived and will be dispatched this morning by the Ajax.— Neivs of the World.
