PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

terns of Booth Asetralia orionnenee la 1140, In that
year the entire population was only 14,610 south but in
HMI it had amounted 44) 40 106,917 persons Of course,
the tiee in riferonee te the inhabitants has not been so
ropiti id in the sister °ohm, of Victoria, where the dis-
Onveries of gold dem such nowhere from all parts, and
KIM tWeinsid Materially the population of South Aue-
'trona. The minim of the satiety in 4840 wee 130,130

MOAB 1161684 r while the expenditure for the last
rm. was 350, giving consequently an excess of
BiltArto el rem pte {MI disbursements, than which fact
nothing min be more ietisfactory or more elucidatory of
the general prosperity of the colony. So also as re-
gards the imports and exports. In 1860 South Austra-
US. shipped oolonial panderse to the value of £18,850 only,
end remised £333,357, making, ooneequently, the im-
port' inure than exports, or the colony • debtor to the
mother or other countries; but this state of affairs soon
Changed, and in 1887 she was • creditor for £121,128,
the exports having amounted to 81,744,180, while the
value of imports wail 81,023,081 The portion of the
oelonninder cultivation in 1840 was 2,803 acres ; it is
DOW 236,065 acre., and Inure than 10,000 persons are en.
gaged in pursuits connected with the land so brought
into • productive gate. There are 70 flour mills in the
colony, and 226 manufactories of various descriptions.
Homed cattle and sheep numbered 2,388,206 in 1857,
besides 26,220 homes The three principal branches of
colonial merchandise in South Australia are pastoral,
agricultural, and mining; and, taking the general popu-
lation, with the acreage under cultivation, together
with the value of the exports in 1867, there arc about
two acres to each individual, and the earnings were
equivalent to EA 17e. 4d. for every man, woman, and
child. This is much in excess with the statistical re.
lulls of other countries, and is good evidence both of the
produotiveneu of the soil and the energy of the people.
We believe that these flgnree are without parallel. ; yet
it is the result of steady industry, and not in any way
produced by a sudden impetus in any branch of the in-
dustry of the colony. The Burrs Burro, Kapunde, and
other copper mines in the north have hitherto been the
chief Boum of supply, but other mines now being rie-
velopod, such as the North Rhine and Ron Accord, will,
no doubt, augment considerably by the mineral produo.
tions of the colony.
