The Wellington Evening Press says : When Mr YVatson s name was first mentioned as the probable appointee to the P 'osidenev of the bank, we expressed incredulity, and now that the appointment Iris, as a matter of fact, taken effect, we cannot help expressing surprise that it s inuld have done so. Taking the whole circumstances into account, the appointment will increase the prevalent uneasy f. ling caused by Mr MiLc&o'i resent line of action in the Council. There seems - -ole reason to believe that something is b-ing arranged behind the backs of the 1. gislature, either in regard to amalgamat' aor to the allotment of the Government a -count.

In his new position, however, h will not, of course, be actuated by the constant pressure to declare dividends, and will, we hope, rise to his position as representative of the colony's interests.
