♦ HOME AN» FOREIGN. governobTof N.S.W. London, June 19. Viscount Hampden, son of the late ex-Speaker B-and, has been appointed Governor of Now South Wales. Viscount II aupden is a LiberalUnionist., He proposes to leave with his wife and three grown daughters early in September, but if it is essential he is prepared to go the colony at an earlier date. It was on Thursday last that he was offered the position, and after consultation with Lords Carrington and Jersey, former Governors of New South Wales, and the Duke of Devonshire, he accepted. Lord Hampden has had no colonial experience, except as director of the National Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand for 14 years. The press generally approve of the appointment. The Times considers the appointment cannot be taken exception to, although the selection is a conspicuous result of the Unionist manifesto and a, confession of weakness on the part of the Government, since it was notorious that the Government desired but were afraid to appoint Sir Arthur D. Hayter to succeed the late Sir R. W. Duff.

The Daily News states that the appointment will gratify Australia’s passion for titled Governors, and indicates that Lord Rosebery places Imperial interests above party. Sydney, Jane 19-
