The great and increasing trade between this
country and the Australian colonies, which has
sprung up since the discovery ofthe rich gold fields
promises to become almost unlimited source of
advantage to many important mercantile and
mechanical interests. The market for great
variety of goods which they present, together
with the large number of those DESTROYS to emf
CRATE thither, promises to furnish profitable bust
ness to our merchants, and employment of our
vessels for an indefinite period OF time. These
advantages are not however, unattended with
other results less pleasing. OF this number, we
cannot fail to count the loss to our community of
our most active, enterprising young men. They
are precisely that class Of our business mon
whom we can least afford to spare, and whom we
most need to extend and increase the growth and
prosperity of our city. A larger field, with more
promising opportunities, tempt them to try
their fortunes in this new world. We have al
ready had occasion to mention the departure of
