LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 10.

EVERT snail from Australia now tells about
abundance of gold and scarcity of labour.
What everybody is saying about emigration to that
country, may be vory sound. It may bo very true,
that the government is doing little or nothing, when
it might be doing a great deal. It may be as
lamentable as everybody says it is, that bishops in that
land should be grooming their own horses, and go-
vernors blacking their own .hoes, and swine be eat-
ing good wheat, and sheep be boiled down for tallim
by the million, while here men are lounging ia work-
house yards. These sayings and narratimpimay be as
sound, true, and lamentable us pos.sible. But utile gene-
ral behaviour under them sound and true ? or is it
lamentable? Is not everybody leaving the matter
to the government? Are we satisfied with complain-
ing of the government? or are we helping the
government ? Or, supposing we can do nothing
more, are we embarrassing the government? When'
the late Lord GRET came into power, the delighted
dissenters, at au annual meeting, protested against
urging a just claim, on the ground that they must
not embarrass the government; whereupon a
sensible and sufficiently loyal preacher rose, and
said ho never knew anvthing to be obtained
from a new ministry but by embarrassing the
government. The assembly laughed; ember. I
reseed the government, to the great satisfaction !
of the ministers theme' Ives. anti obtained what
they wanted. Let it be supposed now that the
government would enjoy being einbarrmsed about
helping to send 100,001) people to Port Phillip;—
embarrassed or helped; fur the same action on tho
part of good people is needed for the one and tho
other purpose. Let it be tried whether the matter
should be left to the national rulers altogether. Let
it be seen whether such a mass of evidence cannot
be obtained in every district, and rolled to the feet of
the government, with such an energy of desire, and
such a chorus of petition and remonstrance, as that
it shall become the task of the day to bring Australia
close alongside our island, and anchor them so firmly
within hail of each other, that the bishop may beckon
to his groom to come and tend his horse; and the
governor may whistle for a juvenile red-jacketed
shoe-black out of the parks: and our sportsmen sit
down to dine on kangaroo tail; and our needle-
women make curtains for homes in .the Bush, and
our ploughboys get so much knowledge of the flavour
of beef as may be obtained thrombi rations of 101 be.
