MR FREDERIC VILIERS ON NEW ZEALAND.
Received September 21,11.15 a.m. Sydney, September 24. Mr F. Villiers, the war correspondent, interviewed upon his visit to New Zealand, said it struck him tlmt the people were not so happy as when lie last visited tho country, siitoen years ago, The womon's franchise ho considers a mistake, but sees no objection to women really possessing a stake in the country and having a voto, but ho does not agree with the one woman one vote principle. The Liquor Bill, especially the clause dealing with the closing of Clubs at the sanio time as hotels, he considered an unwarrantable interference with the liberty of the subject. Speaking generally, the Colony bad not fulfilled the groat future he had anticipated for it on his previous visit, The country was lovely, the people charming, and nature had done everything for the place, and man alone was trying to ruin it. Ho had returned with a stronger belief than ever, that an unpaid Parliament is the most perfect form of Government.
