to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare ♦intages.
BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the
purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow-
ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun-

are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the
stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure
wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating,

Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in-
valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from
the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly

AUSTRALIAN A NNIVERSARY DINNER

The annual festival in 'celebration of the 72d
anniversary of the foundation of the Australian
colonies was celebrated yesterday at the Albion
Tavern, Aldersgate-street. James Edward Fitz-
gerald, Esq., chairman, supported by the Earl of
Carnarvon, Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir J. Pakington,
Bart., M.P., Admiral Fitzroy, Lord Alfred Churchill,
Lord Monteagle, Mr. Chichester Fortescue, Mr.
Gardner, Mr. Merivale, Capt. Young (of the Arctic
expedition), Gen. Wood, C 8., Capt. Morris, ME.,
Mr. Butt, Q.O , Col. Gawler, W. Wentworth, Esq.,
and about 150 gentlemen sat down to a most sump-
tuous banquet. After grace had been sung,
The CHAIRMAN gave " The Health of her Majesty
the Queen," and took occasion to refer in terms of
eulogy to the spirit of loyalty by which the whole
Australian population was, under all circumstances,
animated.

In proposing "The Prince Consort, the Prince of
Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family,"
Mr. FITZG4RALD mentioned the fact that an at-
tempt having been made to introduce English game
into the Australian colonies, the Prince Consort
had, on application being made to him to co-ope-
rate, sent several head of red and fallow deer to be
shipped to Australia, and expressed the great gra-
tification he felt in having it in his power to do any
service to dependencies in whose welfare he felt a
deep interest. (Cheers.)
Both these toasts were drank with loyal honours.
" The Army and Navy" was the next toast, which
was acknowledged by Gen. WOOD on behalf of the
former service, and by Capt. MORRIS and Admiral
.
FITZROY on the part of the latter.
_ _

Admiral FITZROY'S object in rising being prin-
cipally to mention an anecdiote illustrative of the
gallantry of Admiral Hope, whose name had been
mentioned by the previous speaker, viz., that
having been twice wounded in the Peiho affair, he
ordered the boat which was carrying him to the
rear for medical assistance to put him on board the
Cormorant., because that vessel was at the moment
the most closely engaged with the enemy, and that
while directing the operations there he was wounded
a third time.

The CHAIRMAN then gave "Her Majesty's Mi-
nisters." He had hoped to see two of them present,
but Mr. Gladstone was kept away by his Parlia-
mentary duties, and the Duke of Newcastle had
written to him at the last moment, stating that ill
health prevented his attendance. He spoke of the
light in which the influence of the Home Govern-
ment was considered by different classes of colonial
politicians, and observed there was one elass,!though
not a very large one, who thcight that that influence
ought to be greater than it was under the existing
system of Colonial Government, who regretted the
changes that had lessened it, and pointed with ridi-
cule to the constant political changes which were oc-
curring in the colonies, which they regarded as a
proof that self-government was not adapted to the
existing state of society there. In his opinion, that
was not a very thoughtful or wide view of the sub-
ject. He believed most thoughtful men were
watching with anxiety the experiments in self-go-
vernment in Church and State now going on in the
colonies, feeling that the result might react upon
this country. There wore many difficulties in the
application of self-government in these young
states from which the mother country was free.
There was, for instance, the want of the complete
knowledge of public men who were entrusted with
high office by their antecedents and family and
social connections which existed in this country,
and there was also the difficulties consequent upon
the continual withdrawal of public men when they
became known and had secured the confidence of
their fellow-colonists, by their returning home to
the mother country. These were difficulties
which must operate for some time to come in pre-
venting the harmonious working of con-
stitutional government in the Australian
colonies, which all desired to see. But this was as
nothing compared with the difficulties which would
have arisen had it been attempted much longer to
continue the administration of the colonial affairs by
means of the central power here. (Hear, hear.)
At the same time while the opinion of the colonies
was decidedly in favour of a free constitutional go-
vernment there was a wish that the connexion
with, or the influence of, the mother country should
cease. (Cheers.) For many years past the Aus-
tralian colonies had displayed an increasing loyalty
to the mother country ; but, at the same time, those
who looked at the matter beyond the present mo-
ment saw clearly that the time must come when the
present dependent position of those colonies to the
empire could no longer be maintained, and when it
would be no longer possible for England to remain the
sole arbiter ofpeace or war, in which those dependen-
cies must necessarily be deeply interested, without in
any way consulting them, or allowing them any voice
or influence in the councils by which the great
armaments of the empire were directed. (Hear.)
It seemed to him that they would be driven to
choose between two alternatives—to refer all ques-
tions of imperial interest to some authority, com-
bining the elements of representation from all parts
of the empire, or to consent to the entire separation
of these great colonies. (Hear, hear.) He begged
to couple with the toast the name of the Hon.
Chichester Fortescue.

Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE replied to the toast.
Lord MONTEAGLE proposed the next toast, '6Pro-
sperity to the Australian Colonies," and expressed
his gratification that the principles of the British
constitution had been introduced into the govern-
ment of those distant provinces. He spoke of his
former connection with those dependencies while
Colonial Secretary, and bore testimony to the love
they bore to the old country end its institutions.
He repudiated the idea of keeping the colonies as a
means of benefiting the mother country and that alone.
The mother country had no right on grounds of
selfish economy to cast off a colony after it was once
established, or to desire to retain it for English in-
terests when it became ripe for independence. He
rejoiced, however, that there was a far better bond
between these colonies and the mother country than
that of self-interest—the bond of mutual and last-
ingaLrDa was

The toast
D affection.o N
A
Assembly of New South Wales, acknowledged the
toast, observing that the Australian colonies, now
they were left to themselves, had the happiness or
contributing £30,000,000 annually to the wealth of
the mother country, and of producing that raw
material which during the Crimean war was found
to be her very life blood, viz., gold. He referred
also to the Australian productions of wool, iron, and
wood, and to their growing power and wealth, as
indicating their future greatness. Ho rejoiced to
add that a vast majority of the thinking portion of
the colonial population were decidedly favourable
to that free trade policy which was generally ac-
cepted in England now, and to which a mighty
neighbouring potentate had recently given in his
adhesion. (Cheers.)
Mr. Justice THEItRY, of Sydney, proposed" The
Houses of Lords and Commons," coupling with the
toast the names of the Earl of Carnarvon and Lord
Stanley, who severally returned thanks,
Lord STANLEY observing that amongst all the in-
stitutions of the country the House of Commons was
that which was most practically and characteristic-
ally English—that which had taken the deepest
root in the hearts and minds of the people—and that
which under every difference of political feeling was
invariably reproduced in every quarter of the
globe where Englishmen had settled. He ob-
served a great similarity between the working
of the constitutional principle in the Australian
colonies and in the mother country. There were
the same Ministerial crises occurring about once a
year, and creating no excitementbeyond those who
were immediately affected. (A laugh.) There were
the same largo promises made upon the hustings,
and the same complaints of those promises being
broken afterwards in the House. (" Hear, hear,"
and laughter.) And as a further proof of unifor-
mity, they saw in the colonies, as in the mother
country, a state of things in which public opinion
was all powerful in public affairs—a state of things
in which no public wrong could take place without
a remedy, and in which anything like continued
abuse on the part of any Government was impossi-
ble. The House of Commons was by no means in-
different to the working of free representative in-
stitutions in these Australian colonies, hut was
on the contrary watching it with deep in-
terest. He could not, however, conceal from
his own mind that the relations of those
colonies to the mother country must necessarily go
through a certain and regular course. First there
was the relation of government by the mother-
country—then came free government, but under the
protection of the mother country—and lastly, there
must come, he would not say separation, for that
did not represent the fact, but the relation of a
close, an intiinate, and an equal alliance. (Cheers.)
He trusted that the experiment of self-government
now proceeding in our Australian colonies would
succeed, because the result would be not only to
benefit the people of Australia, but to strengthen
our own free institutions at home, and to induce
their imitation abroad, and in the conflict of °puma

that was waging throughout the world to add one
more to the list of triumphs of parliamentary
government, popular representation, and well-
ordered freedom. (Cheers.)
Sir J. PAKINGTON proposed "The Governments
and Parliaments of the Australian Colonies." After
referring to the fact that he held the seals of the Colo-
nial-office when the gold discoveries took place, and
attributing his regular invitations to these annual
gatherings to the liberal and generous spirit with
which the colonies were met at that time, he ob-
served that Australia had been especially fortunate
in the selection of those who held office as gover-
nors, and mentioned esrecially the names of Sir H.
I3arkly and Sir W. Denison. He could not of
course speak with the same knowledge of the colo-
nial Parliaments, but while he recognised generally
the same influences which operated here, urged the
necessity under existing circumstances of great
caution on the part of those who took a leading
part in the affairs of those colonies. He did
not think we could with any consistency com-
plain of the frequent changes of Govern-
ment which took place in Australia—(hear, and
and a laugh)—and at all events hoped, what-
ever might be the case there, the duration of
a Government would not be considered here a test
of its merits. (Laughter•) There was one feature in
the Australian Parliament which was novel, and
which he should not like to see introduced into our
own House of Commons, viz., that instead of testing
the strength of parties by a division and the num-
ber of votes, they were in the habit of applying the
physical test of long sittings—sometimes continu-
ing to sit for 48 hours together in order to tire each
other out. (A laugh.) These, however, must be
regarded as mere youthful excesses, and he had no
doubt of the future of any community when Eng-
lishmen were left free and unfettered to administer
their own affairs.

The toast was replied to by Mr. L. FOSTER, of
Victoria.
" Our Guests," " Our Fatherland," and " The
Chairman," were the other toasts, which were in-
troduced by appropriate addresses, extending the
proceedings to a very advanced hour.
Mr. Toole performed the duties of toastmaster
with great efficiency.
