COLONIAL.

IMINIM..MMIIIMPIPM

NEW SOUTH WALES.—The following extract
of a private letter from a leading colonist in Sydney is encou-
raging. The hint about the destination of emigrant ships is
important, and worthy of the attention of those charged
with this important public duty
"SYDNEY, FEW 1848.—With respect to the price of
labour, taking the relative price of provisions as a basis, we
pay a shepherd equal to 2001. a year in England ; that is, a
pour man, by coming here, lives as well on the wages we
I pay, and rations given, as a person can do with you on 2001.
a year. There is a great disadvantage in sending emigrants
for the pastoral and agricultural districts direct to Sydney,
where they get obstinately located, and will not accept the
highest rate of wages and abundant rations to go into the
country district. They ought to be landed at the ports ad.
jscent to the pastoral territories, such as Moreton Bay, Two-
fold Bay, Portland Bay, &c. &c., where they would at once
get most advantageous employment. Steam navigation is
most remunerative here, and brings us within a few days'
communication of Adelaide. Mr. Boyd has got a steamer
(the Juno) running constantly from this to Adelaide, calling
at the intermediate ports. Only give us labour, and we can
supply very shortly the whole world with line wool, and at
such prices that would dely all foreign competition."
