THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITIPS
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties eR.
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "GoVernment upon First Prin•
cip les."

A bST,RALIA AN.O THE EXHIBITION,

The Australian department of the Internatidnal
&in it dt Ifrivilt showing symptoms of activity. The gods
from New Sotith Wale and %nth Australia are delivered,
and the fittings in a fottrci.d state. The Victorian collec-
tion arrived on the 10th inst., 19y the tireat &Hein, just as
the Royal Commissioners had decided on taking bsek into
their owit hantla the apace allotted for it, in consequence of
there being no one in England to represent the colony or to
prepare the fittings. The New Zealand Court is being lined
and fitted by Messrs. Smee and Sons, of Yinshury-pavc-
meet ; and Messrs. Morgan Brothers are oommencing the
counters for Western Australia. The bulk of the articles
at resent in the building is from New South Wales
and South Australia, and consists of timber and metallic
ore. The articles for exhibition from Westettt Australia
are looked for daily by the Gloucester, but those front Nov
Zealand are scarcely expected at present. The Australian
division will be arrived at on entering from Exhibition-road,
by passing obliquely under the eastern dome. The greater
part of the goods being at present unpacked, or covered
over with cloth, it is difficult to say what appearance they
will make, but it is certain that the courts will be well filled
—New Zealand particularly, which has more space fot its
seven provinces than Western Australia, will, we are in.
formed, not have room enough for the display of the arti-
cles advised to Mr. Morrison, the commissioner. It is pro-
posed that the flag of each colony should be displayed on its
court, but we believe this will not be universally, even if
generally, complied with. It is a pity that there has not
been a meeting of the commissioners of the several colonies
to bring about a general understanding, which would ensure
something like an uniformity of appearance. It is perhaps
not now too late for us to throw out the suggestion.
Dr. Lindley and Mr. Simmonds have their hands full now,
but we have no doubt they will do their work well, and that
the result will justify the Royal Commissioners in appoint-
ing them to the post. The little cold, shabby Colonial Office
only reached over a heap of soddened clay, and when reached
scarcely large enough to turn oneself in, must, we should
think, have sadly embarrassed them in their business.
When Mr. Simmouds comes forth from his ricketty shed to
lock upon the Australian display in its splendour we trust
he will favour us with his impressions of thework which he
and his able coadjutor have been so instrumental in for
warding.—Australian Mail.
