The ' Coromandel Mail * of a recent date says:—" We have a great veneration for Sir George Grey. We believe him to be a thoroughly sincere and conscientious man, with any amonnt of talent and a large income. But we think hie is too good for the company he has got amongst. To us such a man's services in Parliament is like employing a parlour carpet-broom to clean up a back yard. A much inferior broom would answer the purpose a great deal better—that is what we think of Sir George Grey. He is plucky ; but why did he leave Kawau-? With respect to Sir Julius Vogel, we should say, if we were not ourselves we should prefer to be Sir Julius Vogel. As a borrower of money he has no equal. He ought to be Minister for Loans ; but we doubt whether he would be of much service in that, to him peculiar department. Such a department has not yet been gazetted. We think, perhaps, it will be some years before it is. In this present' generation we think it quite unlikely. - If Sir Julius is. wise he will remain, where'he'is, and do nothing more. It would pay the colony, arid save a lot of money, to give him a handsome annual allowance for dome it."
