MR WARD'S TRIP TO ENGLAND.
10 THE EDITOR OF THB PRESS. Sib, —With reference to Mr Ward's proposed, visit to England on business of the colony it occurs to mc to inquire what the Agent-General is what he is paid to do ? how much it costs to keep up the office in London ? and any further particulars you may think fit to supply. Mr" Perceval left here amid a great flourieh of trumpets ; he has been decorated by the addition of several letters to his name; we have been told that he has well earned the distinction, and now we are told that he is not fit to be entrusted with about the only piece of business that he has been called upon to transact. This is the more singular inasmuch as Sir We?tby Perceval, when we knew him as plain Mr Perceval, was about as hard a nail in business as you seed wish to meet. Perhaps, however, it is the exceeding contrast betweeu Mr Ward's financial methods as applied to the colony and those which Sir W. P. adopted in ordinary business that has led Mr Ward to visit England. This may be the explanation, but then, again, on the other baud, it may not. —Yours, &c, False Pretences.
