Some few months ago a statement went the round of the English press that the Danish Premier-, Bishop Monrad, sick at heart of the .dismemberment of the king-, dom by the German Powers, had resolved to find a home in New Zealand. In oiuissue of the 14th inst., we noticed the arrival of tliis distinguished gentleman in Wellington. He is making a tour of the provinces, and is last from Nelson, with the object, we believe, of endeavoring to effect an arrangement for the location of such of his -fellow-countrymen as feel ill at ease under the present rule. The Danes, are a quiet and industrious j)eople, and of their bravery the late struggle afforded ample p:oof, even if history had not-given of it many illustrations. In some of the confiscated districts such a settlement would be invaluable, but we believe Bishop Monrad is desirous of a more peaceful site than those districts afford. — " Wellington Evening Post."
