In primate of the Government notice of the 9th
of last December, the Annual Conference of the
Chiefs and Tribes of the Mick Natives of New South
Wales, took place on Thursday, December 28, at the

',Dewy the Governor was present on the gratifying
oecasion, alai! the Lieutenant Governor, and most of
the Officers, Civil, Military, and Naval, together with
. net assemblage of the most respectable Inhabitants

ops the festivity. There were upwards of 200 natives
assembled, some of whose had travelled a great dis-
tance. Badges of bonourand merit w: re conferred on
the most deserving by the Governor, who at the
some time was pleased to exhort them to continue on
teems of amity with the Europeans, as it would
entices to their good and future benefit. They were
rogaledwitb roast beef and plum podding, in abundance.
When Vie children of the Institution fur the Education
of the Karim were introduced to the presence of the
Chiefs, and they gave examples of reading, writing,
drawing, sad other mattersof civilization, the astonish-
ment was great, and every feeling heart must have
fondly dilated at the glorious exhibition of so many
human beings snatched from the wilds of barbarism.
To every reflecting mind the benignity of the Institu-i
Gen must have been most striking. We bad to can.
template the civilization and salvation of thousands of
our fellow creatures involved in savage darkness.—
We rejoice in having it in our power to declare, that
a corner stone is laid in this part of the world, upon
which the fairest structure say be raised."—(Syd-
ney Casette, Dec. 30, 1820.")
