THE REASON WHY.
It will be recollected that while in New Zealand the Duke of Manchester brought his tour through this colony to a sudden termination, giving as a reason that he had been advised of circumstances from England which necessitated his immediate return. An invitation was sent to his Grace to visit the Clarence district on his return from New Zealand to Sydney, and in replying thereto the Duke gives the reason of his sudden departure for Home. The letter is as follows : —“ Government House, Sydney, May 10, 1881. —Dear Sir, —I have already been much longer than I intended, and have received such unfavorable accounts of the non-pay-ment of my rents for farms at? home that I must hurry back. I leave f on the 18th, and I shall therefore be unable to accept the hospitality you so kindly offer me. I thank you for the welcome you intended to give me, and, while I regret I cannot avail myself of it, I remain, yours faithfully, Manchester.”
