The condition of the lad Lane, who was injured near the railway station on Wednesday by a tramcar, has improved but little. The injuries are internal and of a very serious character. The Auckland Star in an article on the vacant Judgeship saya : —We cordially endorse the idea of a Royal Commission if Judge Ward bo not appointed. The Judgoship situation is another instance of the flagrant incapacity of the present jelly-fish Ministry. In this particular matter, however, it seems to us that the AttorneyGeneral, as the chief law adviser and chief law officer of the Government, iB especially the Minister who must be held largely responsible for the delay. Ho should have put his foot down long since. There can be no doubt that the Attorney-General should reside at the seat of Government ; in which case we cannot but believe the present scandal would have been avoided. To pay .£BOO a year for an Attorney-Goneral resident away from the seat of Government, seoms to us a farce ; especially when, as it last session appeared to us, he has lost his grip as leader of the Upper House. Anyhow, for i>Boo a year, residence at Wellington should be insisted upon." William H. Cameron, an ex-sheep inspeotor in the Wairarapa district, was rearrested this afternoon for having failod to surrender to bail upon which he was released at Mahakipawa recently. Cameron is accused of the larceny as a bailee of a horse belonging to David Baird, of Masterton, and tho offence is said to have been committed sometime in May last. A deputation from the Council of the New Zealand Educational Institute, consisting of the retiring President (Mr. G. Macmorran), the Secretary (Mr. H. Worthington), the Treasurer (Mr. G. J. L. Soott), and Messrs. Reid, Opie, Dempsoy, Cowles, and the Rev T. Flavel, waited upon the Minister of Eduoation this afternoon and laid before him the results of the recent annual meeting. Our report of the interview will appear tomorrow. The s.s. Rotorua, which arrived from the North at 2.45 this afternoon, brought the following passengers : — Misses Stych, Fisk, Galloway, M'A'emara, Grant, Collins, Dunn, Stewart, M'Gregor, De Castro, M'Kenzie, Meeoh, Igglesden, Wells, Chisholm, Masters, Burford and Osborn, Mesdames Rawson and child, Younger, Boyd, Mackay, M'Guire, Keely, Wood, Grant, Bullein, Chisholm and 2 children, Dr. M'Kenzie, Captains Strong and Dalton, Messrs. Bulleni, Parfit, Park, Igglesden, Atkinson, Baxter, Maodonald, Staples, Phelps, Milne, Goddard, Bunny, Newton, Philpotts, Clapham, Currian, Allen, Brassey, Canarer, Maokay, Gould, Bowden (2), Davidson, Coster, George, Scoullar, Levien, Chisholm, Exley, Heeles, Bothamley, Snodgrass, Cox, Craig, Curry, Stewart, Exley, Esson, Coffoy, Reid, Mastsrs Bulleni and Chisholm ; 26 steerage J. H. Bethnne & Co., local agents for the Son Fire Office, have forwarded us an office almanac issued by that insurance company. The Wanganui Chronicle says:— "We understand that Mr. Moore (late of Messrs. Moore & Currie) has just completed the purohase of 1500 aores of land at Kai Iwi from the natives, at 10s per acre, Mr. Moore has also secured the tenant right of 16,000 aores at the back of his purchase, which, coupled with the large area already in his possession, makes this one of tho largest blocks held by any one man in the district. We hear that several people would have gladly given .£4 per aore for the same land, so it is to bo hoped that Mr. Moore will see his way clear to out it up into small farms, so as to advance the settlement of the district. If all the native land is to be sold in blooks of this extent, Wanganui, instead of being benefited, will Buffer harm." For conhnuanon or reading matter tee fourth page.
