Air attempt, which is likely to be successful, is being made to get up a boating club at Hamilton. Some eight or nine members have already joined, and ar« rangements opened for the purpose of ! procuring a couple of four-oared boats suitable for the river at a very moderate price. It is surprising that with so fine a river 'so little has been done in this way. The stream, it must be admitted, is strong but not more so than four good oarsmen should be able easily to contend with. Then too there is the Lake, a mile in length, against which no such objection can be urged. The matter, however, is now in suck trim that the establishment of a good boating club is likely to be the result,—Herald. Feom a Melbourne paper we learn that the appointment of Mr Joseph Chamber* lain, member for Birmingham, a pro* minent Radical, as President of the Board of Trade, with a seat in the Cabinet, has healed the breach between the Premier and the Radical party. Sir Charles Dilke has intimated that as the claims of the Eadical party have been recognised in the appointment of Mr Chamberlain to the Presidency of the Board of Trade, he will withdraw his refusal of the office of the IDnder-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
