Governorship of Queensland.
Loxdox, November 27. In the House of Lords, to-day, Lord Knutsford made a statement with reference to the appointment of a Governor for Queensland. He said Sir 11. A. Blake had pleaded that it was extremely unpleasant for him to accept the Governorship of Queensland, and had been allowed to resign. Lord Knutsford continued that ""Sir H. A. Blake was eminently fitted for the post, and the tact and judgment he had displayed in the administration of affairs in Bahamas and Newfoundland amply justified the selection made by the Colonial Office. The opposition of the Queensland Government'was the result of a misapprehension, and in ignorance of Sir H. A. Blacke's qualities and the services he had rendered. Four noblemen have refused the Governorship of Queensland. It is considered almost certain that Sir H. A. Blake will be appointed to the Governorship of the Mauritius, and the vacancy at Queensland be offered to Lord Balfour, of Burleigh. ' -
