It is stated in our eableiTiun? this morning thnt Mr. CiiiMers" nppoisitnient to the Chancellorship (•!" tli , ! Kxrheiincr lias been officially announced. Communications on the question ol tif; Sue;; Cu-.:d have hccn passing between Kn_:'aud and the Powers, ami it is probable that :i joint European protect..rate will bo (itabiished over the L'reat waterway, so a< to ensure its neutrality. It :s ivr.i-r:eil that serious dissensions exist iu M. Dueurjs Cabinet on the Tommiii i;i*.p.-t:oii. A fo linfr of opposition to the .Sult.i'.i is manifesting itself in

Constantinople, anil placards haw been posted in the city debouncing His Maje.-tv as a i:i:i'li:ia'.], ami ur_im; his deposition.

Mr. Hugh .Seth .Smith, the neu- J n> , .go. of the Disti'iec Court and iLesi.leiit Magistrate, entered upon his public duties yesterday. Ho was received b> the members of the Bir present in the District Court with au address of welcome, Mr. W. Xhornt acting as spokesman. The address and proceedings of both Courts will be fouud in aaotlier column.

We learn by a cable message that Mr. F. D. Fentin has t-een appointed as agent here for the English Native Land Company. Mr Fenton, we believe, will at once to proceed to secure blocks of land upon which the ' company may operate. There are still larg: tracts of country which the natives are willins to dispose of, and thi3 companv, with it 3 sp-ciil advan-agc3 of influence "an 1 large capital, may beiore long succeed in obtaining lands which the owners, being staunch Kingite3, will not at present put in the market. The appointment of Mr. Fenton by cable shows that the promoters of the company have net h»en stopped in their proceedings '03- the discouragements which have be?a thrown in th-ir way both at Home and from the colony. Trie plan of proceedings sketched out in the prospectus, ami the scale of action altogether, will have to be considerably ni.>iiuc.l. i.iit the company mav be instrumental in carrying out the purpose i of improving the condition of the natives, , ana may also render important benerits in the I settlement of tracts of land in the j interior. I Business in the stock and share market was ', slightly bri-.ker yesterdiv. the business 'lone ; in Caledonian?, which changed hau-U ! at 10s, .Southera_Cross at los : Deep Ltvds J at -2s to 2s :>■!.

In New Z-.-a!and Shipping Cj.'s shares several parcels changed hauds at f."i : and there were inquiries made for Fisher and Co.'s at Us ( J.l. uu.l for Lo:idons at Is i> 1. but uo sellers a: those prices.

The Weak-vans of Otahuhu hc-ld a sujccsiiiil Christmas Tree in the Publi-j Hall 0:1 Tiiursciay evening last. T::e buiMins was crowded to excess.

Stringer, and I-\iriis\vort!i, under the generalship of the Ilev. George Bond. The tree was op?ne>l at 7 r>.::i , and by 11 p.m. every article was disposed of. The fruit of th« tree was so rich i:i quality and ia quantity tiiat it realised the handsome sum of over £30, to be devoted towards liquidating the debt on the church. Christmas carols were sung, and other music was discoursed at intervals t!ie evemu' r under the conduotorship of Miss Burns. The miniature b:iz.iar redacted great credit on all concerned iu it.
