from the Australian colonies and New Zealand, &c.
The new constitution for the latter country is to come
into operation on the Ist of January, and the Port
Philippians appear most anxious for the time when they
will be allowed to administer their own affairs, especially
the Land Fund, independent of the authorities at Syd-
ney. The weather in Australia seems to have been
favourable.
Cape of Good Hope papers of February 26 state that
the affairs of the frontier were being satisfactorily
