Australia is beginning to assume the
airs of political manhood. She is be-
coming indignant at England for sending
her convcts to Western Australis and has
determined to stop it. Accordingly the
Cabinet Of the Governor OF Victoria have
urged him to stop communication with
Western Australia and cut of the appro-
priation now made for the support Of
line of steamers, unless England keeps
her criminals away. Some English pa.
pers think that the Australians are talking
rather loudly and perhaps medtating in
dependence.
