BY steamship at San Francisco and thence
overland by special HERALD telegram we have
news report from Australasia dated at sgd
ney the 18th of November, and in Auckland,
New Zealand, the I'd of December. The inteIli-
gence is Ofa varied character, and in interesting
detail Of the dispatches which we published yes
terday. The aniipodal colonies appear to be
progressing steadily and quietly under tho
influence of local legislation, directed to very
great extent, but not controlled, from England

ing property in press news kilograms by COPY
right for space OF twenty -four hours. Meas
ures of postal intercOmmunion were being
matured. The wheat crop was seriously in-
jured by rust in some districts but generally
hourishing Railway extension and the colo
nzation of the 'back lands by actual holders
of cheap small farms were attended to dill
gently The mercantile marine Of several
foreign countries were in active employ
ment on the coast. American whalers re-
ported a good stake" A plan Of an
expedition westward from South Australia
was under consideration. Tasmania had
new Cabinet. Fresh discoveries Of copper
and tin had been made, and the
sugar cultivation interest was in
favorable aspect. The natives in tho
interior of New Zealand were, speaking
generally, quiet. Sorrow was expressed for
the murder OF Bishop Patterson. The abo-
riginal measure OF repentance was not Of
very enduring character, however, as will be
seen by our advices from FIJI. A number a
white men had been murdered by the New
Zealanders. The terrible punishments were
inflicted in retaliation for attempts which have
been made to take away natives under tho
guise of apprenticed laborers but really, ~
the chiefs aIlege. to sell them into slavery.
BE this az it may, it is quite apparent that
very many years must elapse before Macau-
lays idea is realized, in the light of the edu-
Gated New Zealander sketching the ruins Of
st. Paul's London. 1t is said that Tichborne
family ring has been recovered from the hands
of band of gypsies wandering in the colony.
The Legislatures were actively at work, when
in parliamentary session, the members giving
proof of zeal, diligence and ability. Heavy
purchases of coal were made on American
account. Judging from the facts which are
supplied by the HERALD news reporters
we have no doubt that the Austral-
ian Continent will be completely ''civh-
lied" within a very short space of time BY
the efforts of the same great power which
announced few years since to the world that

OUR LATEST ADvIcKs FROM UTAH, If not
very encouraging in behalf of law and order,
are very interesting. Thus We are glad to
have the opinion from Great Salt Lake that
the Territory can get along well enough for
while yet with its Territorial government, and
that 1t would be unwise to give Brigham
Young and his cunning Mormon chiefs State
government on the condition of their abandon
ment Of polygamy, because, If admitted as
State, they will snap their fingers at Congress
and make polygamy the supreme law Of the
Commonwealth. We think, however. that
there is no danger of the admission Of Utah
as State while Mormon polygamy continues
there to flourish. General Grant has under
taken to put it down in the Territory, and Con-
press will rather assist him than do anything
to embarrass him in the good work Mean
time it appears that robbers, garroters and
despcradoes Of all sorts abound and make
night hideous in the sacred city Of the Saints |;
all of which signifies that by the Pacific Rail-
road the border rufians, the advanced guard
of the Gentiles, are crowding the Mormons,
and that poygamy, as the solid law and order
Gentle elements next come in, will, il not re-
moved, be speedily abolished.

According to our dispatches from Washing
ton which we publish to-day the preparations
in the two great defensive departments Of tho
State now being made have, to say the least
of the matter, a decidedly strong pro-
cautionary, If not warlike appearance.
The Secretary of the Navy has given orders
for the reorganizng and equipping Of several
ships-of-w war, besides the monitors previously
ordered, and in the navy yards, wherever
there are vessels to be repaired or stores pro-
yided. the men are working almost night and
day. Yet Secretary Robson says this is in
the ordinary course of routine business. In
addition to this General Humphreys,
Chief of the Corps Of Engineers, has
called his assistants together, and, after
consultation in the capital, despatched
them to inspect all the coast and har-
1or dcfences aud report Immediately their
condition, and what will be necessary TO put
them in a state Of defence. General Abbot,
commanding the battalion Of engineers for
the construction of torpedoes at Willets Point,
has also been summoned to Washington and
matters have even gone so far as for an ex-
preston to be made public that the admins
tration and the officers prefer the torpedo plan
devised and carried out by the Austrian gov
eminent.
