SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL.
It is pleasing to hear from Sir William Russell. His presence in New Zealand at the present time lends almost 'a charm to .polities. He is so very sincere, and yet .sio inoffensive. It seems almosrfc a pity that he eoiiM not he found a place in our Parliaaneiiit. Possibly, when Mir Massey takes the reins of office and an elecItive Legislative Council is proviid'od for, he may p'lace his ripe experience and sound judgment at the disposal of the country. He won,ld certainly lend dignity to either Chamber, though' .his views inay not he sufficiently progressive to enable him to take a prominent part in moulding the politics of tihe day. The interview with Sir William, which is published in another column, tihougjh. it oonitains nothing more Aflraai an endorsement of the popular opinion, is interesting by reason of the fact that (he was one of the Commissioners who .reported against New Zea'Jariu joining tlie Australian Federation.
