LIBERALS—AND LIBERALS.
KNIGHTHOODS JXD BARONETCIES. Rather a neat point was scored by Mr. A. H. Hirrtimarsh at tho social gathering of members of tho Painters' Union last evening. He was called upon to proposo the toast of "Tho Ministry," and facetiously demurred—tho Hon. Roderick M'Kenzie was but a few feet away—remarking that hn would have preferred to propose such a toast on some occasion six years hence. He said that his political difficulty at the moment was to classify Liberals- and Conservatives ia Now Zealand. In the Old Country the Conservatives were tho bulwarks of the aristocracy, of the titled class. In New Zea-' lan<l the reverse was the case—it was the Liberals who smiled upon tho honours of knighthood and baronetcies. Again, tho Liberals in England were the advocates of Free-trad?, but in New Zo.-iland tko Liberals were wedded to a policy of protection.
