SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

The most readable article in the January Number
of this Magazine is an account of " Australia, Past,
Present, and Future," which is evidently the produc-
tion of a writer who is perfectly conversant with th•
theme on which he expatiates. The remaining arti-
cles cull for no particular notice.
