DISTRESS IN 4USTR4LI.A.

The fallowing extracts from the letter of a Brighton
emigrant present a dark view of the present condition of the
oolooy. the letter I. dated Adelaide, May 18 Daring
the Let 12 months I have been very unlucky, and this hot
quite dieheartined me. I am sorry to lay many thousands
leers be-ide myself, and hundreds of emigrants who have
some out here during that period, have bean walking about
the streets out of employ, and in the deepest distress.
Yon will see' from a newepayer which I have sent you,
that there hes been • teeming of the unemployed
on the Park leads, and that they have petnioned
the Governor to tura out the members of the council,
as they are said to have teen pally the cause of the Manes.
They have been pouring in emigrants as fast es they pomibly
could, on purpose to reduce waged. We are about to par
an act to do away with emigration entirely. . .
People who coma out here no the test of nines, even if they
obtain constant employment—and flee out of every ten do
not—deserve all they get, for they are be summer season tor-
mented with mosquitoes, their rya stopped up by the ties,
'the hot winds blowing from a northerly direction, and the
duet with it scorches and chokes co it blows, the sun pouring
down, tee glass rising on wine drys to 14i degree. in the
sue, with no gram or vegetables at this season of the year.
There arm, however, plenty of gropes and apples, pears
Seven inches and a half in length—of the Enrage St. Ger-
male—and all kinds of stone fruit in abundance. . .
With regard to myself, I can only my that I am getting •
bar Ilvmg, but I am thankful foe that, considering the
present state of things. We are now having the cold winds
setting in upon us, and things are beginning to leak green.
Every one 15141M4 waiting for some work to do. It is painful
to see in many poor fellows walking about the streets, and
not finding the cannery es it was represented at home.
. . . Tell any one that you have respect for not to be
misled; if they welt to be well off, let them remain where
they are. I hope when I write to you again I shall be able
to furnish you with better new."
