Writing to Professor Newman, the Chancellor
of the Exchequer stye :—" I have never to my knowledge
expressed any sympathy with the Southern mole, in any
speech at Newcastle or elsewhere, nor have I passed any
culogiurn on President Davis. In dealings, whether with
South or North, I have thou:;htit out of my province to
touch in any way the complicated question of praise or
blame. Perhaps I should end here ; but I cannot avoid
adding, that I think my.elf a much better friend to the
Northern Americans, if it is not presumptuous to use the
phrase, than those who hats encouraged and are encourag-
ing them to persevere in their hopeless and destructive en-
terprise. Among these lof course assign to you the pro-
minent place, merited alike by your distinguished powers
and your undoubted sincerity."
Mr. R. C. Herbert writes to the Times, to ex-
press regret that the informant of Mr. Justice Byles should
have been so imperfectly aware of public feeling among the
colonists of Queensland relative to transportation. " They
claim to be no lase British, in their rights as well as in their
sentiments, than their countrymen at home. They have
been granted the privilege of self-government, and, with
the opportunities thus afforded them, they have Inbound
industriously and eff,ctually to obliterate from their so-
ciety all traces of that contact system under which, years
ago, their country was originally occupied. We, sir, in
Australia, have also one convicts to dispose of. We do
not, it is true, impair the dignity of justice, imperil our
own safety, or increase the amount of crime, by mitigating or
annulling the sentenc.s justly and deliberately passed upon
offenders. We certainly find penal servitude no easy ques-
tion to deal with. And would it not be impertinent and
wrong for us to pray for leave to transport our convicts to

some portion of the British Isles r' Pend settlements, Mr.
Herbert thinlos, might be advantageously formed "in
these rich countries which yet lie uncolobised and unde-
veloped in the Southern Seas."

"Count Pasolini possesses (says the Post) in at
least an equal degree to any contemporary Italian politician,
what Signor R ittmai wanted, and what the Italians rightly
and wisely deem to see in their first minister of the crown,
a pure, high, spotless character. With the rural tastes and
tendencies of our own honest Lord Althorp,' Count Paso-
lini has much in his character and manners akin to the late
Lord Herbert, of whom he was an intimate friend, and who
fully and justly prized his friendship. He will be a Mi-
nister Honest-man' in whom the 'King Honest-man may
place implicit confidence."
