The Nyman of ear sodas Coloalsielloe was de-
veloped and matured by a man of great talent,
industry, and diplomatic tact—Sir LOUIS firkreer.
His system, however, was not a system of colonial
administration. Of that he understood little, and
for that be cared less. He was an incarnation of the
most perverse section of Exeter-hall. He wu the
organ of the anti-slavery seelety, the partial advocate
of the Aborigines everywhere in all their quarrels
with English eolosiete. Bight in hie abotrest princi-
ple., wrong in thele.yreeded appliestion. Hie lutes

So long as Sir J*Mmi rearmed bathe Miss he was
absolute muter of tho wink& miskter for the time
being : his acquaintance wlek tie anerset details of
business, which be impeded te me ems, forced all of
them to implore his assistaase sal pg tor it by implicit
submission to bin will. When BirlAiiill left the office,
he left no man capable of taking We place. It had
been his policy to keep none but mere clerks around
him, lest he should unawares be training a rival to
posh him from his stool. The vicious organisation
of the office has survived its organiser; the know-
ledge and ability which he possessed has departed
with him ; and 'his malign influence is still felt at in-
tervals, inasmuch as he has been made a kind of ju-
dicial referee or arbiter to decide on any colonial ap-
peals against real-administration.
Some modifications, it is tribe, Earl GREY has en-
grafted on the ustem. They were rather boast-
fully retailed by his lordship to the committee of
the House of Commons on the miscellaneous esti-
mates. They consist chiefly in paying men to
do certain things, and employing them to do certain
others. Thus Earl GRET apologised for patting I
the country to the expense of two elderlyd lepi
advisers for the office, on the plea that one of those
gentlemen was of great use in the management of
emigration; and be lauded one member of the emi-
gration beard for his valuable services as a law ad-
viser to the office.

The truth cannot be too often dinned into the ears
of parliament and the public that between the
vicious system of the Colonial-office and the perver-
sity of the present Colonial Minister—which makes
him give to all his discussions with the colonies the
character of private personal quarrels,—this country
i and some ofits principal colonial groups are at pre-
sent in a fair way to part company. The aspect of
affairs at the Cape and in Australia painfully resrm-
bl a that presented by the old North American colo-
nies at the time of the Gartsvme Stamp Act and
the throwing the tea into the harbour at Baste°.
The Nagar war is a national disgrace, and moreover,
inflames our Tearly bills ' • but it is a trifle compared
with the spirit of disaffection which has been
provoked and perversely kept alive in Australia and
South Africa. Let hord-iesta RUSSELL see to this.

A letter from Sydney, dated 11th November, per
the Pbmnician, lays:

Operations at the gold minas continue to be carried on
with great spirit and general swum, notwithstanding ones-
sional drawbacks. 20.0001. worth of gold Ands its way
weekly into town by the government escort, and theme on
board ship, with the utmost regularity. New dlggiap
are being discovered every day. The largest specimen I
have handled weighed 82 none," and the aLowasee foe

gold in a tamp 6 inches long by 3 inches broad, aad lash

travelling chaises and pair, to the Citadel Station, to catch
the express day train for London. The chaises and horns
went hired from Mrs. Tinning, of the Graham's Army
Longtime, as were likewise the poultices. Alter safely
depositing the nght honourable b.,ronet and etteadanu
at the Citadel Station, the postillions returned to Loot-
town with the carriages; but instead of going to the
stable-yard, they proceeded to the river Esk close by, as
was their custom on such OCMiliOng, to wash the horses'
feet and the carriage wheels. In conampenes of the
rain, the river was swollen much beyond its usual sin
though nothing to what it was• few hours afterwards:
The men drove the horses into the ore' n notwithsteadiag,
but one of then on looking up the river perceived the water
seining down in a great volume (a phenomenon pewitr

deeper port of the river when he peris',ed with all four

was found entangled with the harness and horses, in codes-

lost his own life. A man was inside the second vehicle, but I
