APPOINTMENT OF OUR GOVERNOR.

London, Feb. 27,

Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Baron de Worms, Political Secretary of the Colonial Office, said that there was not the slightest ground for charging Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies with a breach of faith in not submitting the name of Lord Glasgow, the Governor of New Zealand to the colonial Government before the appointment was made. The circular despatch of July, 1889, had been followed and Lord Onslow informed of the appointment directly it had been approved by Her Majesty the Queen. He further stated that prior reports were unauthorised by the Imperial Government. Lord Glasgow will take twenty servants with him to New Zealand. THE EMPEROR SPEAKS HIS MIND. Berlin, Feb. 25.

The Emperor, speaking at a banquet at Bradenburg, rebuked the spirit of gambling and discontent which represented Germany as the worst governed country in the world. The carpers had better leave if they were discontented. He knew he was taking the right course and would continue to steer it. The speech is considered a defiance of the popular agitation against the Education Bill recently brought forward. * Feb. 26.

The Emperor’s speech at the Bradenburg banquet has created a profound and painful sensation throughout Germany. The general opinion is that the banding of the Nationalliberals, Radicals and Socialists against the Education Bill will have the effect of throwing the Government into the hands of the Clerical party. The Radical press declares that if all the grumblers were to leave the country, Germany would soon descend into a third-rate power.
