The rapid growth of this British Colony reminds
us of the advance of the same race on our own
continent According to statistics, recently pub
lished the whole population, exclusive OF Chinese
immigrants and aborigines, is nearly four hundred
thousand, Ae Upper House of the Legislature
consists of thirty members, elected by constitu-
ency exceeding ten thousand in number; and the
Lower House has sixty members, elected by sixty
thousand voters. There are near two hundred
churches and chapels including every diversity OF
religious faith and perfect liberation TO all There
are one hundred national schools, giving education
to five thousand five hundred children; aud three
hundred and sixty.four denomnational schools,
with nearly twenty-eur thousand scholars on their
rolls There are seven theatres, besides archery
and cricket clubs, jockey, turf and debating clubs
There are Bible, tract, temperance, humane, and
scieMific and literary societies, philosophical and
mechanics institutions, and libraries and mu-

nineteen Odd Fellows, in addition to twenty-six
insurance offices and seven savings banks, with
deposits amounting to five hundred thousand
pounds railways, steamers, aud electric tee-
graphs are increasing There are one hundred gold

siye az the coach hire from Melbourne to the most
distant of the gold diggings-urder two hundred
mle.--is six pounds, and cab fares are four shll-
