" Speaking at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Trust and Loan Company on the afternoon the last mail left, Sir Charles Clifford ahribuncec! his firm belief in the future of the colony. Ho thought the pieseut depression had been brought about mainly by the speculation and mismanagement of individuals, and by the way certain English newspapers-had misapprehended !the situation.' Describing the resources of New Zealand in railways,^ harbours, jetties, - etc. (all in the hands of the Government), and showing by statistics that there was no scarcity ofmoney,: Sir -Charles declared that all the colony really wanted was increased population and increased confidence in the country. He believed the railways alone "would ultimately, pay theteolfony's dD bfc....... : •'.,..;■ ..;-.-.. *. -■ -'■ • ■ REPORTS OF PAN-ANGLICAN """ CONGRESS. The reports of the Committees of Bishops, at tha Pan-Anglican' Conference were published lasc Tuesday in pamphlet form. I send, you the. littlo book herewith. i The outcome of the discussions on " The Care of Emigrants "on " The Mutual Relations of the Dioceses and Branches of the Anglican Communion," arid ;on ; "Homo; Reunion" may interest Anglican: clergy, : They are too long, however, t"o embody here. AUSTRALASIAN CLUB. Dn Barnetb was, a guest of the Australasian Club at Edinburgh on the occasion of the annual dinner last month, and replied to the toast of '' Our Guests." The Bishop of Dunedin, preached at. St; Thoin, Regent's Park, last Sunday, before a large and fashionable congregation.

TheHouseof Commons was vastly amused to hear; of the sensation which poor old Admiral Field's reflections on the prob i/ of Victorian legi.-»lacoiv had made in Australia. Hero in England nobody (either in Parliament or out) would dream of attaching any importance to" tho old man's vapourings. To show how littlo was thought 'of the remarks the " Argus " con'espbndent seized upon, i may mention that they were only reported by Hansard and the'" Times." Most oi ua knew, nothing of the affair till the Admiral made his personalexplanationand apologies. Idori't fancy Siv Graham Berry much appreciated tho part he had to play in tho atiair. Fortunately,l he possesses a good deal of tact'and managed to pull through it without loss of dignity. TfitE"' DEDICATION OF NEW ZEA; LAND BIRDS.

- 'P arts VIII. and IX. of the sumptuous new edition of Sir W. Buller's " New Zealand Birjds "are just dut. I think, by the way, it shows good taste and nice feeling on Sir Walter's:part that instead of trying (as many men would) to get a good advertisement by dedicating tho work to some Royal Prince or famous ornithologist, he has aflectionately inscribed it to his t>Vp clever and promising sone, Sydney arid VValter. When 1 was at 69, Cromwell Road,the other morning, Mr Sydney Buller showed me a richlybound volumeof the first volum.e, >vhieh.hi3 1 father had presented him with pri his birthday. ". " '<'■'' •' *v:: *'■' " Daring the season Lady Buller has boen at home at 69, Cromwell Road, on Tuesday afternoons ■'*teaand.tennis." The family leavpitbwn for the autumn pn Wednesday; It must have boen to young men like the Buller's Sir Chaa. Warren referred the other day, v hen he said colonial lads struck him as more observant and self-reliant than ■ their English brethren. . ; ' . ; ' ' 'VOGEL'S FUTURE POLICY. '< j

A friend of VogeTa, who sees as much of him as most' Anglo-colonists, tells me that despite his crippled condition and increasing deafness he,v by no means despah-s of again playing; a prminent part.in- New Zealand politics,' At present it is his" wish to lie low, but by-and-by when the colony is groaning under heavy taxation and reduced to the la^st possible stage of depressioji ;there' will, he thinks/ be plenty ready' to listen tb him'ttrid jump at his programme. What thab programme will be, I daresay you can guess. "Repeal the property tax arid bdrrow, borrow,' bttri-6w. ' Spend rribriey freely on expanding the resources of thecolony in this generation and leave posterity to pay the bill." Desperate: sod fallacious M this policy sounds,.l can quite believe ray acquaintance when he says ho believes Vogelwould find plenty of followers. :• THE "COLONY'S "CREDIT.

I notice complaints in tho New Zealand :papers to the elfect^l^t; the: attacks on the ' colony's credit made from time to tipae by tho " Standard" and (latteily)' by the "Financial News," do oofc seem to bo answered'as they might beby the -authorities at Home. This is not quite fair. Sir !F. D. Bell has always etood up to the i "(Standard" vwhen; anything serious, has .been alleged, but it'certainly won't do to notieli their every cai'ping paragraph. As for the "Financial News," I think ami - -1 take was made in not publicly challenging | Marka's'statemerits at'the time- oi the float- ' ing of the last loan. Probably though Sir ■ F.D. Bell knew that nothing wouldsuit Marks's purposes better than a sensational quarrel with "the: representative ofa^ large colony, and decided to disappoint that worthy. Tho " Financial...Ne>v.B " has by no means done with New Zealand. 'Only yesterday it had a leader drawing odious comparisons between the, budgets ;of, your colony and Victoria.
