BRITISH PREMIERS OF THE CENTURY. In the midst of oar own Jubilee rejoicing?, fay* the Lyttelton Times, oar memories have gone back to the early sinus, when the settlement waa in iti infanoy, and when the men who have made their mark apon our history bared sturdy right arms for hard labour. Those recollections are far from unp'eisant, when we compira the New Zealand of to-day with the colony of fifty years ago. Things move somewhat faster than they seem to do in the Mother Country, and in no instance is this fact illustrated than n the case of the number of Premiers who have guided oor destinies. In fifty years we have had tweaty-sevei j Ministries, hat as several of thpse have been rip titiocs as the whirligig of time broaght about its changes, the number U reduced to fifteen men who have actually held office. In Great B'itiio, however, daring a whole century, thers have been only tweuty Premiers. Ths century began under rigid Tory administration, with Lord S'dmoath in power. He had office for four yean from -'the Year Oae." There step into his shoes, in 1804, the; greatest statesman that Britain has produced. 80, at least, ?ay the admirers to-day of William Pitt; and in one respect, at leset, he wai like Bichaid John Seddon, of New Zealand. He had the confidence of the] nation to a degree which rendered the pnblic regard for him almost idolatry. Two years after Pitt's accession came that of Lord Grtavitle, who abolished the slave tr*de. In 1807 to 1809, the Duke of Portland held sway; and then Spenrer Perceval took the reins, and his tragic death at the hands of an auissin. in the lobby of the House, is one of the mournful events of the history. In 1812, after Perceval murder, a Tory Government took office, under the Karl of Liverpool. He was followed by George Canning, who held office for a very few months, and gave way to Vitcoant Goderich (Lord Bipon), whose Government lasted but a brief space and then made way for the Duke of Wel'iing on. When oar present Queen ascendedthethroceLord Melbourne held the reins of Government, and sicca his time they been fntruttjd to Sir Robert Peel. Lord John Basiel), Earl Aberdeen. Earl Denon, Lord Palmerston, Lsrd Beaconsfield, Gladstone, Lord Saliabmy, and Lo.d Bosebeny The list h a tolerablylong me, bat just only one-third as long as the one New Zealand has compiled in less time.
