Mr Bees in England.
Thf London correspondent ot the N Z Herald write, under date August 11—•• Since hi, arrival Mr Rees has been interviewing all sorts and conditions of men, and is sanguine that he will be successful in interesting the British Government in the business. Ke proposes to float a great colonising company, so as to pro. vide the necessary capital, and then all is to be plain saiHug. The practical common sense portion of bis plain, I have not yet seen, but the prospectus is to be ready shortly. Wi Pare, and Mr Rees, assert that if the Gisborne scheme is successful, the King country will likewise be opened out for colonisation. Mr Rees, I may mention, is also about to publish a work on political economy, entitled Colonisation, the Salvation of the United King dom.*’ He has arrived here at an opportune moment, because the British Government are most anxious to find suitable outlets for the surplus population of this country, and are not disinclined to provide funds for the purpose of assisting certain classes to emigrate.
