Orii readers must have noticed in our advertising columns the announcement that the Hon. Mr Bromby will deliver one of his '' celebrated lectures in Napier. The subject matter of the discourse to which we are to be treated has not been stated, nor do avc quite know in what way Mr Bromby's lecture is celebrated. It is not so celebrated that its renown has reached Napier, and it was only by turning over the back files of the Auckland papers that we discovered what the lecture was about. Briefly put it seems to us that Mr Bromby's mission is to justify the importation of Irish questions and grievances into these colonies, and to defend the course of action taken by MiRedmond, M.P., whose mission is to extract money from the pockets of iudustrious colonists from Ireland to put it in the hands of idle agitators at homo. It was at the close of Mr Bromby's lecture in Auckland, if we remember rightly, when Bishop Luck was reported to have said that he was "ashamed of being an Englishman." If the object of Mr Bromby's lecture is to take the conceit out of Englishmen by holding them up to bo monsters in human shape then we hardly think he need have taken so large a place as the Theatre to accommodate his audience.
