We may expect that a good deal of nonpenae will be cabled abont Sir George Grey's sayings and doings in England. A first sample appears to-day, where we are told that he intends to work in the. interests of Professor Aldis, and to interview Lord Eo«ebery and Mr. Gladstone on the subject of Irish autonomy. We supposo somo interviewer, in whose mind the ca c of Professor Aldis as presented to the English public warn freeh, mentioned the tubject'lo Sir George, and heard from him an oracular eiprf-ssion of sympathy. The idea of his working for tho Professor is, however, absurd, as there is no work to do in tho mat tor at Homo. No one thero has any influence or power in regard to it. Sir George did what he could for Mr. Aldis hero, but without success, and a uew Professor is now appointed. If anything more is to be heard on the subject it wilt be by way of petition to the New Zealand Parliament, "and Sir George Grey is not likely to be here to work for his friend where alone his assistance could be valuable. Sir George will also no donbt interview both Mr. Gladstone and Lord Kotebery, but not specially on the Irish question. If he intended to formally approach them on that nubjeot he would bo vory unlikely to proclaim it to his first intiTviewcr. Of course the question wi'l be mentioned, but it eertaiuly was not woith while to ciblo a gues* on the subject English pressmen do not understand Sir George as woll as their New Zealand brethren do. They havo yot to find ont what a difficult subject he is to deal with, and ho-v he can talk round a question without committing himself to any definite statement or opinion. If they try to jump to a conclusion as to what he intends or means they will find theraeelves woefully mistaken. Bowling and x-ifle club items, besides particulars of the Presbyterian sensation in Sydney and some of the doings of Onehunga's lady Mayor, letters to the Editor, and other matter, will be found on the fourth pngo. The Premier returned from Gisborne yesterday. The Postal fiepartment ha; been advised that the li.M S Mariposa, with the Knelish mails of tho 24th Marcli, left San Francisco on tho sth April (duo date) ; and that the It. M.S. Motion ai, with tho colonial mails of iftth March, arrivod at San Francisco on the 13th April (one day late). The Victorian Government is determined to leave no stone unturned in its efforts to catch up to Now Zealand in the matter of frozen meat. Mr. Mackenzie, of the Victorian Government Architects' Department, has been sont to this colony to examine all tho leading freezing works, with a view to ascertaining all he can abont them for use in tha works to tie erected by his Government. He h-i8 already vi-sited the Hon. J G. Ward's worka at the Bluff, the Mataura, Belfast, a"d other leading Southern freezing works, aud on Friday arrived iv Wellington, and went ovpr tho Wellington Meat Export Company's works. He left on Saturday morning for Napier to virit Nelson Bros.' great works at Tomoona, after which ho will return to Melbourne I'i'u tho South. The Hinemoa is to report herself in Wellington immediately, and will then proceed to the Vuckla'.d Ulai.d- to look after the .Norwegian soaler now ou iia way thither.
