OUR NEW GOVERNOR,

(by electric telegraph.—copyright). London, February 27. Replying to a question in the House of Commons. Baron de Worms, Political Secretary to the Colonial Office, said there were not the slightest grounds for charging Lord Knutsford, Secretary of State for the Colonies, with a breach of faith in not submitting the name of Lord Glasgow, Governor of New Zealand, to the colonial government before the appointment was made. The circular despatch of July, 1889, had been followed, and Lord Cnslow informed of the appointment directly it had been approved by Her Majesty the Queen, lie further stated that prior reports were unauthorised by the Imperial Government.

(BY TBLKORAPH.— PRK39 ASSOCIATION). Wellington, Last Night. The Premier etatee that the Government did not send any protest tu the Colonial Office against allowing the name of the new Governor to become known before his appointment was confirmed by the Queen. Ministers, however, did consider that they had a right to feel aggrieved at the apparent want of courtesy, and instructed the AgentGeneral to enqnire into the matter and ascertain why no intimation had been sent to them until the appointment was generally known. .Mr .Perceval has not yet replied. ___^_^_^___
