SIR GEORGE GREY.
London, April 29. Sir George Grey is dying. Sydney, May 1. The Telegraph, in an article this morning headed "A Mid-centnry Governor," says: "On the eve of the celebration of the most illustrious and profitable reign in British history it would be well to remember one who contributed so much to the lustre of that ieign. If Sir George Gray's advice had been taken every inch of the islands of the Pacific would have been British territory to-day, and would have been federated. South Africa, from Capetown away up to, if not above, the Zambesi, would belong to the empire, which would have benefited vastly by the patriotism and energy of men like Sir George Grey, who' were Imperial Englishmen of a day when Little Britain was supposed to be callous in regard to the Greater Britain."
The name of Mr Geohge Bonnington, Chemist, Christohurch, is well known throughout New Zealand in connection with his preparation known as "Carrageen," or "Irish Moss," which has for many years enjoyed a wide reputation for Influenza and Chest Complaints. — Advfe.
