NEWS FROM MR VOGEL.

(Special Telegram to Star.)

The Wairarapa Standard says it learns from an authentic source news of Mr Vogel, of which the following is a condensation : —Mr Vogel was then in London, and his health was much improved. He was able to walk about with two sticks ; he looked well, in fact, appeared as good as ever. His medical advisers had recommended him to visit some of the German spas. He would possibly remain at BadenBaden, Weisbaden, or some «of the other continental watering - places which are favourite resorts of kings, gamesters, emperors, and adventurers, until August next. He had not been knighted though vividly anxions for thejhonor. It was thought he would secure some colonial decoration before he made his appearanc among the Germans. He had not made his mark in London ; in high places he was by no means a favorite ; his disappointment was visible and he appeared to be dissatisfied with everyb-% and everything but the Rothchilds.

,' > was an ore dit to the effect that he was *>jC his bust executed in marble by a fe^oOitM^and it had been nuggested that it vr^]BHisej)etterif cast in brass. Eegard- "*§ tlvfevfcan, the paragraph says :—"The nak£^4.ats are these : the loan was dispoaev^gf, and the Government here guaranteed to> receive £91 for every £100 bond. This was a discount oh the £4,000,000 of £360,000, and there will

consequently have to be a pro rata reduction of the amount voted for public workß, immigration, etc, as scheduled in the Loan BUJ. The motion of Mr Barclay in the House of Common, that the Turkish, New Zealand, and other loans should be referred to the Foreign Loan Committee for investigation meant more than appears on the surface, but it unfortunately lapsed from there having been so many motions to be taken within a given time before it. It is not expected that N. Z. will be able to raise another 41 per cent, loan for yars te come, even at the terms on which the, last one was negotiated. The brokers, who used to purchase largely our bonds when issued by the Crown agents, are very much disgusted and dissatisfied with the mode of issue of the last Joan. The price indeed may be pronounced fair seeing that the whole amoun'o was forced on the market at a few days notice. It is not stated how Sir Julus Vogel and Dr. Featherston are working together, but this will be ascertained in due course. , . Cost of Immigrants. It is understood that the gross cost of each stfetute adult to the colony on his landing is £20, and for that reason the A gent-General agreed with his official superior that it would better to slacken speed seeing that we had now run our borrowing powers to the full length of their tether, hence the information on this subject which has subsequently been received by cablegrams. The above information is put down to the genial spirit of Mr Waterhouse, who interdicted the Governor from going in the Luna.
