MR CARRUTHERS.
SYDNEY, March 5. Mr Carruthers, the late Premier, was entertained by the citizens at a banquet in the Town Hall prior to his departure for England to act as commissioner at the Franco-British Exhibition. He was presented with a valuable diamond pendant for his wife, in recognition of his services to the State. The Governor (Sir H. Rawson), who presided, said he could not cay whether his career as Governor of New South Wales had been best for him. An Admiral could work his wicked will on anybody he pleased, but a Governor had to-do nothing, and to be very «areful how he did it. Mr Carruthers, in the course of his reply, complained that Federation was not working well because of the attempts of the Government to invade the sphere of the States.
