NEW SOUTH WALES.

In an appendix, Mr. Potter Mcqueen has published two docu-
ments, from which we insert extracts :

" Here, then, is a country premed to our very hands, for all the
purposes of eivUised life. While Ragland is groaning beneath a peps..
laden for which she cannot provide bread, here is an anmessured Mgr
of rich soil that has lain fallow foe ages, and to which the starving the.
sands of the north are beckoned to repair. Tbe post want of England
Is employment; the great want of New South Wales is labour. Rog-
land has more mouths than food ; New South Wales hes mere food
than mouths. England would be the piney by imp %of -else of her
superfluous millions; New South Wales would bithe gainer by ;heir
being planted upon her ample plains.
" Then let the capitalist wend his way hither, and his one talent will
soon pin ten, and his ten twenty. Let the labouring poet come hither,
and if be can do nothing in the world but dig, he dal be welcome to
his Os. a week, and shall feast cc fat lest and mutton as a pony or
twopence per pound.
