MOBILES AND REPRESENTATIVES, Your devotion to
business during a protracted session, and eonsidera-
ton accorded to my suggestions at the opening of
this Legislative Assembly, have been noticed by me
with feelings of great satisfaction, and it has given
me pleasure to observe the cordial accord which has
been maintained by you with the Ministers Of the
Crown.
The confidence which 1 expressed at the opening
of your session, in your patriotism and wisdom, has
been fully justified. For your liberality to myself
and family, accept my heartfelt thanks Your lib
eral appropriation for the maintenance of the gov
eminent will be expended as hitherto. with strict econ
omy and care for the public good. Fully apprecia-
ting your loyalty to myself, and love for the Institu-
tons of my kingdom, L trust the laws which you
have enacted will promote the welfare of the country
and all its inhabitants. Upon your return to your
constituencies, / hope that you will enEghten them
by your advice, and excite them to jealous care of
the interests of health, morals and education, and
above all, that you will apprise them of my constant
solicitude for their welfare.
In dismissing you from your labors, l pray AL
mighty God that He may grant you, each and all,
length of days and prosperity and that He may
keep our beloved country from harm, and guide us
to happiness And / do now declare the Legislative
Assembly prorogued.

doubt not it will be satisfied with what he has

IS a native of Ireland, having been born neal Bandon, in the
county of Cork, on the 9th November, 1886 He received his
early education at Tramon, and at a very early age entered
Trinity College, Dublin, obtaining the fifth place amongst two
hundred and fifty candidates. During his University career,
he obtained several mathematical prizes, and the silver medal
ofthe Union Debating Society. Intended by his family for the
church, he took out his Divinity Testimonial but, on after
consideration, chose the law as a profession.
Having graduated in 1854, and taken an ad eundem degree
in Cambridge, he applied himself TO the study OF the law, but
a severe illness compelled him to abandon his studies, and by
the advice of his physicians he chose a more active HE En-

Queensland. Australia.

Isolated as we have been by non-intercOurse
with the Australian Colonies, our readers know
but little of the extraordinary growth in popula-
ton and commerce of the several Colonies of
Australia. We last week gave statistics showing
the position of New Zealand, and propose this
week to give data relating to the young Colony
of Queensland.
1t occupies the northeastern quarter of the
Australian Continent, stretching from latitude
liz to latitude zoe south, thus giving it i
wide range of tropical climate. Brisbane, the
capital, is located on a river of the same name,
and though it is but a few years since it was
founded, has become a place of some commercial
Importance. And this, Notwithstanding the
draw back that it is located twenty-five miles
from the harbor where vessels have to do their
business. il.
The imports into the Colony for 1869 were
G1,717,472, of which E455, 796 were from Eng
land, and the balance mostly from the Australian
Colonies.
The total exports amounted for the same year
to e3, lO4, SS9. The bulk of this large export
consists of wool. The number of sheep in the
Colony is over eight millions, while in all Aus
tralia the number exceeds forty millions.
Line tOtal NUMBER OF Vessels drrlflnS uuFiHS
1869 was 545 and the departures 524, with a
tonnage of l42,335.
Besides grazing, the attention of the inhabi-
tants has been directed, during the past few
years, to the manufacture of sugar. Cane grows
very luxuriantly in some sections of Queensland,
and the finest of sugar can be manufactured from
it. But the great drawback has been the want
of cheap labor. Reports have from time to time
reached us of expeditions sent out to kidnap
Polynesians to serve as laborers in this Colony.
70 such an extent has;it been carried that public
opinion in England has been arrayed against it,
and Government has taken measures to stop it.
The labor question there's however, as in other
countries, will in time regulate itself ON a humane
basis, and the manufacture of sugar will be
established and become an important industry of
the Colony. By the establishment of a steam
line between this group and Queensland, some
trade will no doubt be created, but not to the ex-
tent that it will with the more southern Colonies,
where tropical products cannot be raised.

Capt. Baldwin of New zealand.

With a desire to gather reliable information
respecting the commerce, mining and agriculture
of the Pacific States. the New Zealand Govern
ment commissioned Capt. VIM. Baldwin, a member
of the Provincial Government, to visit the Coast,
examine the country and report. He came over
in the first trip of the Wonga Wonga, and went
on in the Idaho, arriving in San Francisco early
in May. During his stay there he visited all
parts of California, and especially the mines and
silk districts, obtaining valuable data and infor-
nation regarding the mode of working them.
He also went to Salt Lake, where he spent a short
time investigating the Mormon riddle, and also
visited Oregon and Los ANGELES. In every Sec
ton he was afforded the most ample facilities for
obtaining the information he sought, and has
prepared a full and comprehensive report, the
result of which will, we trust, be to establish in
innate commercial relations between New Zealand
and America.
Capt. B. is now in this city on his way back to
Auckland, and sails in the steamer City of
Melbourne. The Colonial Government made a

4 Singular Experience.

The Auburn Advertiser publishes the
following statement, with the remark
that, from its knowledge of the gentle
man by whom the account is given, it
is prepared to give entire credit to it:
"SOme weeks ago, a prominent cltl-
zen of Auburn was in the city of Chi
cago iransacting business connected
with his manufacture in this place.
One evening, after an active days
work, feeling somewhat fatigued, he
retired to his room at the hotel earlier
than usual, and made his customary
arrangements for the night; but just as
he had composed himself for sleep, he
experienced a singular sensation, ana
heard voice, apparently very near,
and as plainly and distinctly as though
it issued from the throat of human,
pronounce the words, Your mother
died to-day; and with the words came
an assurance that the announcement
was, indeed, too true to doubt it. He
arose in the morning, after having
passed sleepless night, and made i'm
mediate preparation for a journey home.
As he started for the depot he met a
boy with a telegraph dispatch in his
hand, and calling him to his side he
asked if the message was not for him
giving name-and, sure enough, it was
from his family, confirming the truth
of the announcement of the unseen in
formant, that his mother had died the
day previous at Auburn. He had re-
ceived no intimation but that she was
enjoying her usual health; nor had
there been ANYTHING to excite i'm the
slightest degree his apprehensions fol
her safety, until the occurrence of the
incident related.n

A Marriage i'm Joke Turning Out Hap
PLY.

Thirty wears ago, when Charleston,
Illinois, was i'm an embryo state, Dick
Stoddad was caught mapping for the
first time. Dick was at a party, a
country dance, and had been playing
his tricks on the boys and girls, when
il was proposed to enliven the company
with a matrimonial scene. All things
being ready, save the bride and groom,
two very essential parts of the cerero-
ny, they were soon procured in the
persons of the aforesaid Dick and the
beautiful and accomplished Miss -
the Belle of the whole country, who,
like Dick, was full of fun and of ro-
mantle disposition. The license was
easily procured; so was the justice.
The ceremony was performed, and the
bride and groom pronounced husband
and wife. This of course was consider
ed the joke of the season. Dick and
his bride enjoyed it; SO did the specta-
tors. The Justice, however, had per-
formed the ceremony; had the license
and knew the penalty for a failure t'
return il as the law directs, and belns
sworn to discharge the duties incum
bent upon him as a justice of the peace
was legally and morally bound to re
turn the license to the county clerk
which he did, and where it is to thi
day, with his certificate properly in
dorsed thereon to the effect that he hat
"duly joined i'm the bonds of holy wed
lock" the parties aforesaid. Dick ant
his wife soon learned that what the.
had conceived TO be joke was sad 0
joyful reality. So the matter wa
talked over, and they concluded f
make the best of it. They have beel
living together ever since, blessed witt
bountiful supply of this worlds good
"a large family and host of friends
and as Dick says, they have been en-
joying the joke ever since.-Mssou
