Tlic proceedings of the agricultural meeting hero commenced formally this morning at o'clock by the opening of the showyard for implement! to public inspection. The eencral character of portion of the exhibition is highly'creditable to the I eumpetitors, though in nome rvsptKU it is hardly up to the mark of former years. Perhaps the position i Kxeter, rrmoved as it is to a great distance from the centre of manufacturing industry, and espe cially those brandies of it which tend to develop agricultural implement making as a distinct business, may account for this. The great tuskers men as the lUiisoius (of Ipswich), Oarrett (of I listonY, and Honisby (of Grantham), are annually put to a very serious expense in sending their implement to the Sivcicty exhibition, and of course the further away the agricultural meeting is held i the more onerous this burden lnvoine. Xor have (he arrangements and rules ujkiii which the exhi I bition takes place tended to diminish the objections which thus arise.

Instead of being, a it ought to be, an exposition of a few new machines to which an award of prizes may attach their projwr value, and of ft ice in guiding the s'Kvtion of practical men, the show yard of the society has for years past, if not tiiice the commencement, leeu tunie 1 into a regular lazaar. The stands occupied by each exhibitor are, indeed, paid for according to their ex tent, and some'othcr checks arc prolwbly adopted but practically the display of implements iliffers very little in principle from that of goods in a 'tradesman's window, and it is well known that many of the makers are much motv intent on liud ing purchasers and getting orders in comjet ing for premiums of the society. Indeed, 1 if they were not so, the rewards held forth by the society would hardly remunerate the most successful 'of" them for a tythe of the expense to which they are put. What can be the object of ching Mr. Garrett as a prize for his drill a man who gives constant employment to some UK or men Or how can the Jlcssrs.

Hansom be i K'nttitted, with their works covering li acres of ground, who any "day they chooe to ornaiuclit themselves culd turn out with "a display of tned.ils that ould astonish the Peninsular veterans who waited so long for thtir decorations The i effect of the state of things is iKxiiminir to show itfelf, and by unmistakcabie signs. In tho pusent exhibition the names of the Messrs. Uansoni and other well known implement makers are absent, not, it is Klieved. 1 eeause they are indillerent to the trade in agricultural machineiy. but Wcausc they aw dissatisfied witli the mode in which the business oftheshow vard is conducted.

Again, in tlii oxhitd tiou containing altogether an immense variety of articles, having 1 10 contributors, uiot of whom send a dozen, and some 40, and contributions, there, is hanlly a single mtvelty vvortliy ot uescnptioii brought forward. Tlic sjiowyard in. its material features presents almost no variety from that jjf tho last fcv yenrs, and many of the 1est things exhibited have received the awards of the society nt former meetings. Xow, itnay Ik very truathat it is desirable fur the society to attract the implement' which have contributed to' the improved cultivation of the Eastern Counties westward, but it is not likely that manufacturers will submit tothe heavy expense which this' entails without an adequate prospect of reward; aud it is notorious that implements which suit one ps rt of the coitu ry are not necessarily adat iw to other parts. It might have been expeftti that the." variety of iinplements suited to thp climate and soil "of the est.

and to its agriculj tural progress, would lave entered into the consideration of the committee in drawing up their list of prizes; but it does not soetn to have done so, and the Iis presents very much the nine appearance as if it had livtn intended to apply to the groat level of the Kens. one who is all conversant with the agricultural state of I'evonshire and the adjacent counties, the avvard of the Judges of Implements at the Kxeter meeting must appear very curious document. It is undeniable that there is a spirit of improvement on foot here, and that fanners gin to feel the necessity of doing something to meet the of the" world. It is true that a few landlord, such as the Puke of Itedford, Kirl Kor tescue, I.ord IVltiniore, and an almot ei'ullv limited uttmlier of" very intelligent tenants, are doing they cm to raise the character of the cuitiya tioti ut'thevatt majority of the agriculturists' in. this district would reganl the prize list of the so cit'ty 'as the invention of some visionary who knew icthingatout tinning to a profit.

hat are men wh let all mauuri tlow into their horsepond or into the rext ditch likely to ti.ink of a liouid tnanuri? distributor with a 10', premium Hltachcd to it At 'hat will they think a p.rtaUf f.mii rail way who liavc never dreamt of iurmY a 1s or of a jrtable steam ngine, who have hardly yet attempted the application of hor prwer to the lnur the farm If the society wi lied to Ik really useful, ic ought for instance to nave got one of the country thri. hii! machines, and placed it one of the newest uud It st coustruvtivti to do the same work. The visitors tothe show yard would then see it tstructi ve sjHrtacle. On theone siUeau implement ol the most primitive kind, re iuiring an. immense amouht of human labour painfully performed and with a small i esult.

On the other, a machine easily kept aud cheaply set in motion, and mst ctfectual and fpti edy in its operation. If the iuvidiousness of such a inparison were o' jcctivnabli the show of implemt nts might still be made interesting and instructive by ing xhibite 1 at v.o but there thty remain undtr the fheds of the yard, au ungainly mass of iron and tlaritig paint, by no means pre jKessing look at, and though their owners will readily explain thtir use, and even set them in motion at the reouest of a visitor, none but tho judges see them fairly and properly tried. These observations are made wiih no uufneiiuly spirit to the Society, hut under the conviction that if they wisn to. make tneir exhitntion implements locally beneficial they must give it a more distinct local character, that if they desire to retain for it the distinction of novelty they must put a stop to promiscuous contributions; and that if they want to make it really interesting to the general public, some plan should be adopted for seeing the principal implements at least openly tried. Of Course it is a matter of rejrret that any of the best known implement makers tnould have absented themselves from the present meeting.

It js also to 1.C regretted that the showyard jossessc3 so little in it thit is new but a third point in which to many persons this part of the exhibition may appear a comparative failure, is by the lest judges considered a decided advantage. The numlier of articles exhibited is considerably smaller than last year, and the collection altogether is in consequence tnoro select.

To this award is appended a lonjt list of articles highly commanded aud commended. The large it prize, it will lie perceived, is that of given to Messrs, llornsbv and Son for'the best Hrtablu steam engine applicable to thrashing and other agricultural purposes. Now, with reference to thi machine it very doubtful whether the society have exercised wise judgment in selecting it for such proiniiu nt favour and patronage, especially in the Woat of lingland, a country of comparatively small hohliugs, for which, the opinion of many eminent practical men th IimhI engine is the most convenient, the cheapest, and the most lasting. A locomotive engine mav probably lc tlvbest on large firms, such as tlioso on the chalk formation, and on the light soils of jh, Risteni and Midland counties but even there ex pet ienced fanners lire not always agreed on their claims to a pit fer nee. opposing, however, that the society have correctly singlcl ut this machine for the largest premiums, iu respect of the skill required for its completion and the dcsiraMcuefT of thus cenneetimr the business' of agricultural implement making with that of mechanical engineer, it would appear that in deciding K'twcen the ditrcrent engines exhibited tlie judges have not cn gnid I bv the most correct tests for forming a deci.

ion oti tie subject. An engine of "i horse power will, of course, work more economically thsn one of siv, and if economy and power comparatively are made the tests of this competition, as it is sai.l ln Ken the ease, the more powerful machine has tin advantage, though it may lie very clumsily cjn sttiicttd, and from its Weight as a locomotive be i xtremely liable to a displacement of its parts when mov it! about. With reference to the shovyof drills exhibited, the most remarkable new feature introduced into their construction is the substitution of gutti pcrclia pipes for the unsightly tin seed conductors by Messrs. llornsbv and Son. Nothing but practical oxrience can e.tabli.

the value of thi change. The tin conductorV have hitherto been preferred as lcat liable to Income furred, and thus closed limed The exhibition of drith generally a vtrv goml one. and we were paiticu'arly pleastd vrith that for small occupations exhibited by Mr. Garrett, and the form of the implement most liki I) to le useful in this part of, 'the country. Mr.

Garrett is also a successful exhibitor of that invaluable implement the irseli.V, which has Contributed so largely to the cb ati culti vatioii by which the Eastern Counties, and Sullolk esptciallv, arc ditinguihed. If by the ntdue tioii of iue. iianioal facilities, this west countrv, the icoL ture and fertility vf which arc so to vvteds, could get rid of those traces of slovenly farming, a gnatboon would be conferred iiuii it. The onlv remaining point which it svms necessary to notice in the alvo award is the draining plough, for which Mr. John Fouler, is to receive a silver medal.

It is dcscrilH. in the catalogue as invented by exhibitor, and as ing a mob' or p'ug plough for, making a hole in the soil at depths varving from two to four fMt, anJ at the same time drawing into the hole thus ma fo any draining mateiial such a' earth 'ii or wooden pijes, straw, ropes, There is an apparatus attached for raising or sinking the plough so as to i ivj a level drain under an uneven surface. It is drawi by the power of a windlass, and one horse's power excited there will move the plough a )ardiii econds at a depth of two feet six inches. "Tfnreo horses four men, and six liovs ill keep two ploughs coii and do feet iii a day at a depth "of th'iee feet. A hole reiiiires to ti dug for the niachiue cvejy l(Ht yards, or six for an acre.

This irnpli n.etit is altogether the moot remarkable feature of the exhibition, though of course its real value remains to be decided bv practical experiment, and though it is open to the objections made to all at tempts at draining by mechanical mean. namely, those which arise where a gravelly or stony subsvil has to lie dealt with as well as cl.iy. The Cattle Exhibition opens this afternoon, and the gmenl thow of Intli yanls will lie inoir Kxeter is crowded with people and t.ie scene of great rejoicings. In no other place has the RojmI Agricultural Society received so warm and Uttering a reception. filVEl: STEAM liOATJ.

Mr for behering that I have been rightly informed on this point arises from a circumstance which lately canio un ler my oliserration. A gentleman harin? chum to apprehend that a steambost that plied on a rirtr in DeTonshire wan not safe, she having i one occasion, through her 'defective state, sunk, with i.carly 200 pernf.ni on loard of her, told me that he had applied to the proper officer at Plymouth, or leTnport, or 'elsewhere in the country, to haTe this itcamer duly sur vevt 1 and examined, as be was accustomed to go to and fro in' her frequently, with his family, between the two towns with which alie daily communicated, when he was informed, to his great surprise, tliat this surveyor of steamboats had nothing to do with "rircr" Bteamen, hi authority only extending orer kteam vessebi that went to sea." If this representation of the oCiccr in epjestion be not true, an awful responsibility will rest upon him if any faUl accident should arise on board the lcamer referred to, as she still continues to run daily, though every one doubts her safety and yet, there apjicars to be no means of causing her to be thoroughly examined.

THE EKISTISU XF.XVW ESTABLISHED POST FFICE IIRO CLA T10.Y. TO THE EDITOKOK TIIK TIMES.

Sir, With every possible respect fr the motives of many if th jso txtrenicly pious people who hare succeeded in getting a wls.ie liolydsy" for the Post office clerks throughout the kingdom on the Sabbath, I think the next return that shout 1 1 move 1 for by those gentlemen of the House of Commons who by tact and stratagem managed to carry this measure, oiutht to be one to ascertain the exact r.Ltii' er of those liU.mteuv.cIerks who now attend at places of worship regularly, that could not, or that did not, do so before their emancipation. Put, Sir, it ought to have been borne in mind, that the lively cf the litters on Similar mornings in the various towns of the united kingdom did not prcTent the persons in the pos't oflices from attending their places of worship, bj caue it is an indisputable fact that, of late, all letters are sent awvy from the different offices for delivery before 10 o'clock, and that in no toon in the kingdom is the pnst ottice kept open during the houra of service. Ilut, even if the duties of the office compelled one, or two, or more persons to remain in it on a Sunday, for the public convenience, why could not the same regulations be observed that are established in the army aud navy, and also on railways and elsewhere, that of having a relief to perform the necessary duties for no one ever heard of the persons on board of a ship ho had the watch, or those who were on guard belonging to a regiment, being wholly released from duty on a Sunday, nor do we find that the railway cr other carriages are itopped on the Sabbath. Upon the principle now adopted as regards tho Post office, neither soldier nor sailor, nor railway clerk, nor servant, ought to lie allowed to work in any war on Sundays. A FRIEND TO COSSISTKSCV.

TO TIIK EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sif, The press being the only medium through which the public can obtain redress for the grievances at is ing from railway minnutnageiaent. I beg to lay before jou the fallowing statement, hich I have received from my family, who went yesterday to Margate by the South Eastern Railway. We arrived at Margate safe at 6 o'clocjc (instcaj of 3 o'clock) this crciiUigj after a most frightful journey. We had scarcely proceeded two miles when we were alarmed by the train suddenly stoppinj, which it continued to do for nearly an hour, when we were informed that something was wrong with the engine, which was soon remedied, and we made up our minds to a pleasant journey but something worse was in store fur us.

About three miles on the London side cf Tunbride there is a little wooden bridge which crosses a stream, and the other side is made ground to considtrablc height, wliere, with the whole weight of the carriages on this little old bridge, the wheel ot tlie engine came off, and by the greatest miracle we were saved from going over the bank. We all had to get out and scramble down the bunk, and wait in tCe field beneath until another engine could be procured from Tunbrilge, which took us liacktothe first station. We then changed lines, and went on the up line as far as Tunbridis, lasting the broken down engine on the rosy, and tlie poor engineer, who was very much scalded in preventing the carriages from turning over. I do not know what should hare done had it not been for the politeness of a gentleman, who rendered us every assistance." I myself went down on Sunday week, when an accident would have occurred but for the timely discovery that a pnrt of the engine was lost tho train was delayed till it was found. Again on Saturday; the day before, on the train reaching the Margate station, it was driven at full speed into a luggage train in consequence of the collision the whole of the passengers were knocked frightfully against the carriages and each other, some ladies being seriously hurt.

Unless, Sir, you lend your powerful aid in exposing this carelessness on the part of the railway authorities, there will undoubtedly be some frightful accident, as anything short of wholesale slaughter is little of. Your obedient servant, July Id. O.P.T. the cloth was removed, and the bus Loess the nudist com msnceu. The Bishop of OrforJ havinz said dWncr grace.

As a practUiil min business, Le should despair unless the preliminary stages liv 1 been pro.lnr of good; but, Lokin lstk what thy Lad already achieved, be was prrfuald that thev ha I it cnlv achieved good, but by perseverance in the course ti.

iy bad fcAen were likely to originate still greater Jnetits, not only to the colonies, but to the mother country. Tlie society had two objects. No member of either house Vf Parliament culd 1 unaware of the two great disadvantages with whicn the Legislature had toc telid namely, want of ade information from the co nies to enlighten them i the r.f their duties, and want of due rn operation among reformers. It wa tb meet those disadvantages the society was and with these object it members were united together. They were not less determined to enforce those objects, or ss attached to their principles beo they were met to pronounce them at a dinner.

The object of the ti ciation was mainly to obtain the fullest information ef the feelings and the ymjKithics of the inhabitants of our colonial possessions. It was true the of the society ere not bound to the colonic by the tie of representation, but the more evanescent and intangible the tic which boun i colonies to tlie mother country, the more was the Legislature called on. to acknowledge it. Although a Cambridge man, he was forced to admit there were tiding above and beyond firm and cuantity; and, a the dearest blessings of tifs wre not to be weighed or measured, so were our obliu nti to ur colonial fellow countrymen, however difficult to determine, not the lew binding on the Legislature at home. iw i no say this society sought to brin charge against the C'oloni office, or that they accused X.

Y. or any othr unknown quantities, of mi government or wrong doln ail tl.ey sought to do was to come forward and enforce, as f.r as os si'jle, the princtiile of justice to the colonies. Tli sought to enlist tlie sympathy of numbers as the grctt element tf moral and political Sucre's in their effort! for oionul reform. Were there any indication that their first attempt had led to any aiti'tactorv result LoOkinz Lack ti the event of the session, tiiey could not but scknowledge a ereat improvement ar.d advancement lis 1 been evidenced by 1'arlument in the discussion of coon al affairs, Tlie great feature of our legislation this year hvl been Ihe measure relating to the Australian il inies, an 1 he would tike it on himself to sir, that never had the cffuct of co oj eration, if not in legislation, certainly in dis cussion, been more strongly evince! in tne debates upon that To the members of the House of Commons who a llocate! the cause of colonial reform with such zeal ana ammy iney owe unatiecte gratitute more tiarticu latly to the hon, baronet near him, who, unsatisfied by the mere statement of a theory, bad brought forward a p.a:i to carry out tl.e object he offered tothe House. There was another point the Colonial Society wns anxious to enforce.

and that was that the arm of this great country should be open, in a constitutional sense, to our fellow subject who returned from the colonic to the mother country, and to show to those who hid everted their abilities abroad that there were men in this country ready to welcome them back, and t) thank them for the service they bid rendered elsewhere appreciate their exertion to receive their information. and to. turn it to account in the practical improvement of legislation, at heme. riothuig cuuM be more untrue than to assert that the conaexion between England and her colonic wa not of the nature, and when he considered the effect which emigration, pro perly directed, might have produced upon the destinies of boih, he could not but call to mind the wonders of some Oriental tale, wheu some necromaiicer.wiih all the treasures of the world at his bilding. had neglected scatter them I .1 lli.n, u.l.i I vantage.

(Cheers.) begged to z've "Sticcos to the Colonial and with it to oupL "ths Health of Sir W. Moles orth. Sir W. Moles worth. I am much obliged to you for the henour which you have done me in calling upon me to reply Die toast of eucces the Sciety for the Reform of Colonial Government.

I do hope tliat success will attend the cforts of tliat x'u tv. for it has been framed for a great and useful purpose, which deserves every success. Tlie Colonial 1U form Society owed it origin to a party of gentlemen in teieatcd in colonial matter who dined here about this time last year. On that occaaiou it wa felt that our colonic were in a very critical and dangerous state that Australia was much disappointed at not obtaining free institutions that South Africa was indignant at the prosfiect of becoming a convict colony that Camwla as irritated, and thinking alout annexation to tse United States and, in short, that dissatl faction and discontent prevailed throughout the whole of the colonial empire, and seriously menaced the stability of that empire. It was generally agreed that th'is disastrous ai.d much to tie lamented cute of things in the colonies had occasioned by a bad system colonial government that that system needed immediate reform a.i 1 that to bring about such a reform it was necessary tlut there should te ui ity of purpose and combined action amongst thnne who felt an interest in tlie colonies.

These feelings led to formation cf the Society for the Reform of Colonial Government. That society has been frumed without deference to litical parties. It numbered ans ngst its members all classes of politicians, Whigs and Tories, Conservative and Radicals, Protectionist. Freetradeiw.an 1 F'mancialReformors. We have been termed tlie "happy family term, applied in derision, 1 willingly accept in earnest for we are luvp pily united in one great and ueful object we cordially concur as to the best means of attaining that we strive to obtain good government for the numerous dependencies of Great Britain ws ara anxious to promote the wealth and prosperity of our colonies, and thereby to promote the weal and prosperity of the mother country we are desirous to extend their trade and commerce, thereby extending our own trade and commerce we hope to unite them closely and firmly to us, so that they may for ever be loyal and contented subjects cf the Rritish Crown so that they may henceforth cease to be a costly burden to this country so that they may no longer require numerous fleet and armies to keep them in subjection, ar.d no longer entail upon lis a heavier annual expenditure to be defrayed by odious and vexatious taxes.

With these object in yiew, tlie Colonial Reform Society was framed. In order to accomplish these objects, the society his endeavoured to ascertain and poivit out tho defects in the existing system of colonial government, and not only to do till', not merely to grumble and complain, but it has endeavoured to how by what practical measures, and in what wanner, those defects can and ou lit to be removed. The society Las traced colonial misgovernment to its source in the absolute and irresponsible government of the Colonial office. It has proved to demonstration that the local affairs i Englishmen on the other side of the globe cannot be well managed by gentlemen in Downing street, who, however able and laborious, have never had any ocular experience of the condition of thi colonies, who have no personal Interest in the prosperity of tlie colonists, who are always obliged to trust to second hand and partial information on all colonial matters, who are therefore necessarily ignorant and generally misinformed with regard to colonial affairs, and who consequently, with tlie very best intentions, cannot fail to commit numerous and grave errors in the management of the local concerns of the distant dependencies of 0 reat Britain. TLe Colonial Reform Society, haviug thus ascertained the nature i the disease which afflicts our system of colonial go vernment, has proposed as a cure to give to the colonies tha greatest amount ol sell government that is not inconsistent with the unity and integrity of the British empire.

To do tills, tho society has adopted the old, the well known, and sound maxim of the first English colonizers, namely, that an Englishman, go where he ill, carries along witli him as his birthright as much of law and liberty as the nature of tljngs will bear," or, in other words, that an English colonist ma colony is entitled to all the rights and liberties of an Englishman in England, with the exception only of tdiose rights and liberties which can proved to be irre ci r.ciUble with his condition and duties as a subject of tlw British empire. In order to reduce thi nuuim to a practical shape, and to give to the colonisis the rights and liberties to which they are entitled, tho society has attempted to distinguish between imperial power which the colonists ought not to possess, and bcvl powers, of which the colonists ought to have tl full ar.d uncontrolled exercise and the socisthas endeavoured to cmlwdy this distinction in a measure which has been submitted to the consideration of Parliament. Of that raeasure I will only tay that though its tape may have been imperfect I am convinced that it was founded uiion true principles of government, which have worked well for the hut 70 years amongst our brethren across tho Atlantic, and I ana aiso convinced that those principles must le adopted andacted upon if Great Britain and her coJties are to continue to form one empire. For, be aeurdt in proportion as tie colonies flourish, and their popatation mcrests. less il less ill they lie Inclined to endure the arbitrary govaramefit ot the Colonial office more and mors will they dxutni the uncord trolled and complete management of tUi local concerns.

In order that the colonist mar manage their local affairs in the best manner, the Colonial Reform 8ciety has propped that the true coloaie of OrwU Britain sLeuU possess thosj i in s'itutions which theory aud experience have proved to bo best adapted for tW government of to Aagie Saxon. man, and far which the habits and adacaiion cf cwtsries have made Mm peculiarly fit.

He hrptdhe might be wrcug, but he looked with great fear and anxiety to the operation of the act upon the colonies the mo susceptible of uH colonics to gwl or evil ia tlutnces. Her Majesty's Minister had missed the greatest opportunity any Government ever had. and he only hoped tliat the colonist would ee through the imperfect measure) they had obtained 1 measure which it an 'litter dela ion and imposture to pretend gave them the government cf their own affairs, and that they would not rest content, as it was much to be feared they would, or risk the danger ef ac iuic scei.ee in such a measure, but would seek for thorns rights to which he believed them fully entitled, and ia the pvsseiin of which he would wish to see them contented. (Cheered Mr. Hi Mr avowed that ha was better satisfied than th ru ble lonl with what bad been done for the colonies.

So tar a a the influence of tlie association went, that influence was) very great, as wa shown by tha professions of ti Minister, and no announcement of principle had eTer been mora solemn or decided than the declaration of Lord J. Russell as to the colonial policy in the early part ef tha session. Ia the Cape of Good Hope tha colonists bad certainly pursued most dangerous course but, he was bound to say, no relief had ever been granted any colony he knew of until it was) on the verge of rebellion. (Cheers and laughter. Still, they bad avoided the serious results which had follow ed in other colonies', and held out the means by which other colonies could bope to succeed.

(Laughter.) He looked upon the Cape of Good Hope as aa example to ail the colonies. (Laughter The Colonial cilice was the) whole canse of the mischief which was going on in British Guiana snd elsewhere, snd members of both Houses of Parliament should cr.dtavour to bring tha Colonial Secretary book about it. Making every allowance for Earl Grey, hs must say be had been miserably disappointed in him. (Hear.) There was no eoleny where hi policy had met with approbation but he hoped the attention of Parliament woolil in future be directed to tho real root of the evil, and that they would cut off the control of colonial matters from Downing street, and give it to people on the spot. Ua begged to give them, Success to the Cape of Good Hope," and to couple with that toast the name of Mr.

Adderley. Mr. Adperikt, in returning thanks, observed that hs felt obliged for the connexion of his name with the Cape of Good Hope, bat at the same time would not so far subscribe to the principle of the hon. member who had just spoken as to hold out to all the colonies to the colony of Canterbury, for instance, of which the Bishop designate was then presentthe eiample cf the Cape of Good Hope as precedent, tbeythotdd inTsriably follow. (A laugh.) He hoped, or the contrary, they would hare, a better and mora constitutional method of arriving at their rights, but he should ever be proud of having his name associated with the colonists of tha Cape, for he believed tha event there had given tlie cwp dc ijract to the horrible of compulsory transportation to our dependencies, ami formed another example of th vindication of their rights by the Ang'o Sfxon race, of which one great example hail been witnessed at tlie other side of the Atlantic.

Russell had sufficiently evinced has sense of their im portance by his speech at the commencement of tha session, which was but a commentary on the text furnished by tha manifesto of the Colonial Society. Mr. Scott, in an animated speech, proposed, "Successx to the Australian colonies." Mr. Lowe returned thanks at considerable length and, after an onslaught on the colonial press, proceeded to rsruw the provisions of the Australian Bill, and to dilate on the) grievances of the Australian colonies. Karl Grey had, he said, like a second Pisistratiis, turned oat office, under pretence of greater zcaL those who had.

Tha colonies had expected nothing from Lord Stanley, but they had hoped muth from Karl Grey, yet was bound to say tkat Lord Stanley was mora a colonial reformer than the other.
