Merit m Solid Gold.— Mr Seddon speaks plainly as a rule, and when he addressed the Oamaru people at Mr Duncan's presentation, he made the following remarks : — The whole of the speakers had said that the good feeling shown to Mr Duncan -was of more va'ue than the £150 sovereigns; but that was all bunkum. There was a lot of merit m solid gold. Mr Duncan was a poor man, and had to fight a very expensive election, and the 150 sovereigns would compensate him for the expense he had been put to. • :

The Agent Generalship.— The Wellington Correspondent of the Christchurch Press writes : — Eumors have been afloat foe some days that the Government have received letters from Sir W. Jervois, offering on c rtain terms to take the Agency-General for New Zealand, but the truth of the report has been denied. It now turns out however, that a communication has been received from the ex-Governor, and I am assured on what seems to be very good authority that some such offer as that above indicated has been made, but Ministers object to give any information on the fubject. The idea of Sir W. Jervois as our next Agent-General is immensely popular here. But it is easy to understand that it might not be so acceptable to the Government, who one may suppose would naturally prefer to utilise so rich a plum m the way of patronage m the manner usual among all Ministries.
