THE PRospEoT. The failure of crops this
year and the disappointed times makes the
outlook for the future every dark and unccr-
tain. A great part of the labor of this coun.
try, must of necessity, seek other fields, and
wo expect this winter large emigration Of
the laboring class.
This will not be All unmixed evil Acri.
culture in this county has not been profitable !;
to what extent the untagonism Of the labor
ing to the land holding class, has been res
ponsiblc for this failure, VIC caunot say-one
thing We know, that there is necessity for
change. Self preservation demands a com.
Dctc revolution in our old system. With
tNe exodus of labor, new and better system
I}Dnst of necessity come, another end more in
tcigent population must take the place of
the old. Small farmers must be brought into
the country at whatever cost; We must seek
this population from the Northern and mid
die States, and, in the mean time, let our
lands be sown in grain, aud let sheep and
cattle take the place of cotton. by next fall
we can have profound peace, and then by
proper well directed energy, We can bring a
population here homogeneous and Industrious
and our waste places will be made to flourish
OF one thing experience has satisfied us, that
with our present population there can bc no
permanent peace or prosperity Chester Re

The Statistical Register of the Colony of
New South Wales for 1863, which has been
laid on our table, is one of the yearly re-
ports of their Registrar General, I. j.
Jaques, ESQ. It is very full and com
prehensive statement of the commercial
and social statistics of the Colony. From
its voluminous tables we extract the fol-
lowing figures: The present population
is 4s5, ,S56-being a gain of S.9s per cent.
over that of 1868. The introduction of
immigrants, as means of increasing the
population, has been considered of such
importance that, up to 1867, their Parlia-
ment annually appropriated several thou
sand pounds towards defraying the ex-
penses of the arriving immigrants. Under
this liberal public policy it appears that,
from 1860 to 1867 inclusive, 20, 7s4 immi-
grants arrived, at total cost to the public
revenue of 9299,27l, or about 9l4 per
head. In all new countries increase in
population is the question paramount in
Importance and by enterprising COM
munities it is met by the method that is
most available-drafts upon-t the popula-
ton of older and more crowded countries.
Agents and lecturers are sent abroad to
persuade the poorer classes to try their
fortunes in the newer countries, where
land is cheap and laborers few.
The total revenue for 1869 is, gene
raj e2,59O,2l7; by loan, 8l,o73,292.
The total expenditure, e8,265, ,sO5. The
total imports for 1869, are ss,392, 1853;
the exports, f9,993,442. The imports
per capita of population, is Ell 5s.
IOd.; of exports, ego 9s. 4d. This ex-
cess of exports indicates that the colony
is increasing in wealth as well as popula-
ton. Their public debt amounts to f9,-
$4,000, or 919 lbs. 4d. per head; and
the annual interest thereon to los. Sd. per
head There has been expended on the
public works during the year 9960,9oS
