THE COLONY OF " ADHLETHH."—We pointed out
in our notice of Sir Richard llacDonnell's lecture and its
accompanying map how absurd it was to see the name of
" !south Australia" written right across the continent from
Port Adelaide to Port Essiegtoa. We now find from the
remarks which the Chief Secretary made ou Tuesday in
the Legislative Council that the government are turning
their attention to the desirability of altering the name of
the colony. It is true the extension of territory now
given to South Australia is only of a temporary character,
but the new lands may for raspy years be under the
guardianship of the local government, sod may very probably
become known by the name which is borne by the colony
itself. Under those circumstances " South Australia." i•
highly unsuitable ; and since it always has been an inap-
propriate name, the present opportunity ought to be seized
for getting it altered. With regard to ths choice of • new
name, the Chief Secretary thinks that " Albert" woull be
a popular designation. But there is an " Albertlaod in
New Zealand, and the newapapersof New South Wales we
see contain proposals for calling their own
colony " Alberta." There appetite, indeed, to be
some danger that " Albert" will be applied as in-
iliverimiustely to colonies and other places as
" Victoria" has been. At all events, there is no good
reason why it should be adopted here. What we would
propose in that the same of "Adelaide," by which the pro-
vince is even now generally known tumoral strangers,
should be substituted for "South Australia." It has the
advantage of being • familiar designation, and It would not
mislead people, as an entirely DOW name might. It is very
probable that a better mime then this might be found foe
a colony just starting on its career, but 61 " Adelaide " is
already often used as a substitute for Smith Australia
there would be an advantage in adopting it
" Adelaide flour" and " Adelaide" wool are well
known in the markets of the weld, end thug
the name of the colony is
nised. In the ease of Van Diemeni's Lead bur=
government have sanctioned the adoption of "Tasmania"
ass new name for that colony, and it is net May that they
will make objection to as alteration in the awe of &nth
Australia, especially as the present extensive of territory
makes some change highly neceesety. The Chief flegreterg
whilst referring to this matter, dated that
reference to the occupation of country inalttrrVeat
Australia had been received from parsons is this and the
adjacent colonies, but that, of coon*, no mentions could
be framed until the commission enabling the governor to
deal with the lauds bad been received.- Adelaide Obarrore,
July 25.
