LORD CARNARVON.
Lord Carnarvoa appears to have carried '' away with him the good will of the Colonists on his resignation of office, influential deputations, representing Australia, New Zealand, and the Cape, having waited on him to express their regret at his retire* merit. . Lord Carnarvon's replies show the, spirit in which h,e has uniformly acted fiince he has been at Downing Btreet. Ii has been It's wish always to treat Colonial
questions as broad matters of Imperial importance, and far above s the party politics of the hour. He gladly availed himself of the experience of those who had preceded him, and now that he has himself gone, his knowledge, such as it is, acquired during four years' tenure of office, is fully at the service of his successor. No doubt the temper of his administration did much to consolidate a good feeling between the Colonies and the Home Government. He always recognised that the Australian Colonies had emerged from a state of pupilage, and that the only control to be exercised from home was that of the trusted adviser and friend. As_ Lord Carnarvon pointed out, the ancient jealousies of Downing-street " have continued more and more to fade into obscurity.
