Parkes, Governor Of New South Wales,
who arrived in this city yesterday, said to
. reporter that when Australia is as old as
the United States it will be far ahead Of
the latter in civilization. Our progress, |

yours in proportion to our size. Respect
ing q reported secession Of Australia from
Great Britain, there was absolutely no
such idea in existence. Why should We?
