In the last accounts obtained from Australia,!
ject is touched upon in the colonial journals ieh'eh
cii,s
serves attention. It is that the Governor in Coined
announced in the Government Gazette, expressorili
intention of increasing the fees upon " deedlY
licenses." At a period when the entire energies of
colony were in a prostrate condition, from the letils
mercial panic, this step was held to be most ilnr
Upon this subject a Sydney paper remarks :-- ig4l
" The new regulations under this head, proms
in the Government Gazette, will act in two wal
will be most oppressive to the licensed graziersi,f
injurious to the reputation of ' Governor Sir GI?
Gipps.' For our own part, we have on the wh°l,,e,o
friendly to his Excellency—we have thought that ";540
the good of the colony at heart, and that his me 04
were generally conducive to that end ; we have 1
than once stood alone amoligst the colonial jouriltolY
defence of his policy ; and not long ago, advertin„di
completion of his term of office, and to the probabil
his early recal, we expressed our belief that 0.0iv9
00
retire from his post with a larger share of good 0114
the people of his charge than had fallen to
of any of his predecessors. But this one act has c oil
the whole current of our feelings. Its folly haste
ourconternpt ; its cruelly has excited our detesiatl 0 /
a piece of State policy, it is a despicable blundertind
specimen of dopestic'admiiiistra,tion, it is desr.t o,ol'
most coolest but ost insulting kind. To the groleasesti
ready harassed with difficulties and discourag.d
almost beyond endurance, it Will be a tortuous,Prok
vation of their sufferings ; to the whole colony' de
ing as it does upon the produce of its flocks lot ;o',
it will be a dreadful check to returning prosperity ,
to the name of Gipps soon to be placed upon oilf.bis t!
of things past, it will be a deep, and inde°
proach." fre°
We have not received any late intelligeneeisoils
abroad to-day. From South Australia we learn tunetill
nrosr
colonists were very sanguine as to future s- docifi
being in store ror them. " Our principal topic '3; rot,

Lion of metals will be an important feature ot
