SIR JULIUS VOGEL

. Mr-Clark, M.P.C., by last mail received a letter from Mr Adam, the Provincial Emigration Agent, who had been especially requested to meet Mr Vogel in London, on New Zealand business. Mr Adam keeps himself well posted up in -New Zealand affairs, ar.d from what he had seen in one newspaper, was prepared to find Sir Julius Vogel living in state in some 'aristocratic West End mansion. He was .surprised to find the Premier with his family occupying furnished lodgings in a very second-rate part of the metropolis, apparently surrounded by a very meagre display of the comforts, far less the luxuries of life, and suffering most acutely f rom the malady which often prostrated him in the Colony. Sir Julius, the letter states, has suffered much moi'e at HomeTrpm his old enemy the gout than ever he did here, and Mr Adam had never seen'him look nearly so unwell. He was much reduced in strength, and so ill that it was quite impossible for him to undertake the return voyage, a fact that no one could 'regret more than he apparently did. Mr Adam assures Mr Clark that Sir Julius Vogel intends to leaye for New Zealand at the earliest possible moment his health and medical advisers will permit; and states that there is no foundation for the many rumors that have been circulated' of late! regarding the reasons for the Premier's stay in the old country.—'Bruce Herald.
