MR HENRY GEORGE.

HE CANNOT VISIT NEW ZEALAND. Auckland, April 23. Ook readers will regret to learn that Mr Henry George, the landreformer, will not be ableto carry out his intention of visiting New Zealand. A letter to this effect was received to-day by Sir George Grey, from which we have been permitted to make the following extract:— “ Sydney, April 17th, 1890. Dear Sir George,—l have reluctantly been forced to the conclusion that it will be impossible for us to visit New Zealand. I regret this, because I wished to see something of the country and people. But my trip here has been so arranged and disarranged that the time for which I came will have expired by the time I get through the trip to South Australia, on which I start this afternoon. The loss of time will be so large in a visit to New Zealand (since I had arranged to go back by way of England), and tbe season will be getting’so late, both f orNe w Zealan d and Europe, and I have so much to call mo Home, that I have at last been forced to forego the anticipation. I shall come back from South Australia to Sydney, and shall probably make a short trip to Queensland, where I have not been yet, and then take a Suez steamer about the last of May or early part of June,”
