FOREIGN NOTES,

THE DISASTERS IN NEW ZEALAND.

The recent reverses in New Zealand have been attn.
buted to the inadequacy of the colonial force. Further
information spews quite clearly that another adverse
agency was at least equally injurious. Drunkenness has
contributed to the defeat of the colonists quite as much as
the want of sufficient soldiers. In the House of Repre-
sentatives a deputy of the name of Fox openly charged
the officials and the troops with intemperance. He gave
instances of two orderlies who had been sent with
despatches to the front, but became too drunk to fulfil
their mission. Three officers had recently been removed
from the force on account of their intemperance, whilst
another man, who was refused employment at Nelson be-
cause he was a confirmed drunkard, was appointed. Mr.
Fox had no high opinion of the entire colonial army. He
charged them with being " loafers, bloated with drinking,
men of lazy and intemperate habits, and totally unfit to
pursue the hostile Maories." At the Chatham Islands,
from which the Maori convicts made their remark.
able escape, it appears there are two public-
houses carrying on a flourishing business, and
supported entirely by twenty-eight constables. It
will be well, perhaps, not to hastily accept
Mr. Fox's general accusation against the colonial force ;
but his specific charges against individuals are very dif-
ferent. It is hardly likely that he would make such
serious statements in the Legislature without just reason.
Moreover, the Government has amply justified him by
shipping off all the grog and shutting up all the public-
houses. It is quite time that the Colonial Office bad a
word in this matter.
