Governors, consuls, or other functionaries, the
Panama route would long
ago have received atten-

among the colonists themselves. The jealousies of
Victoria anti South Australia against New South
Wales and New Zealand have effectually neutra-
lised every wholesome influence which should have

been exerted from those quarters. Indeed, owing
to the preponderating activi. y of tin people of Mel-
bourne in consequence of their bg the represen-
tatives of the gold producers, the colonies have,
upon balance, greatly increased the obstacles to
sound action. Happily, after bitter experience,
they are now apparently disposed to bury their
h
differences. It is rights however, that they should
recognise all the facts of the case, and admit that
there is at least as much room for self-reproach on
