KIMBERLEY.

No doubt the fat-»way fields of the new Eldorado in the tropical wills of Western Australia appear tempting'y green to the eager tyss of many an in trepid digscr. It is a proverbial char acteristic of distance to lend enchantment to the view. Nearer acquaintance with the object, however, strips it of iia meretricious quilities ; its beau'iea da appear, and the plain fads assert them selves. It is, unfortunately, not easy to get at the real truth about these Kimberley goldfields—whether they present the meant of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice, or whether the miserable fatht'es are synonym jus with ruin and doa’h, which are not without parallel in the history of cok’naming in this and other countries. The accounts received from the fields are of the most meagre description, and of a provokingly coi fket ng nature. On one hand we are told ih»t there are about three thousand men at work, all of whom are obtaining gold varying from f z to 3 z a day. On the o'.her, we hear that there are only abort 200 diggers getting very little i»"ld, and that hundreds are returning. Toe only thing csrtalu about the matter la that the blacks aro danger ous, the heat interne, sickness prevalent, and water scarce. I' is a remarkable fi c", tbat ail (be favorable telegrams come from Perth. Those which are not f.vor able come from Port D. rwin. We do not pretend to decide on which side the truth lies. It may be remarked, how ever, that Kjmbetle/ is within the Wett Australian boundary. Port Darn in has no interest of this or any other k ni in the matter, ss far as we are aware. To those about to go to Kimberley we would emphatically say “don’t”—for the present at all events.

CURSE CF CENTRALISATION.

Visitors of the Sala or Froude type who confine their observations principally to the capitals of thi various colonies are apt to form a very one-sided opinion of the condition of affairs in each colony. Those who have extended their researches more widely must admit that the mother colony compares unfavorably with others of the group in some respects ; and there Cannot be a doubt that this ia due to the want of useful legislation. In New South Wales there are villages which in other circumstances would present a more flourishing appearance and be much more pleasant to reside In ; but the country is suffering under the dread curse of centrali sation. There are hundreds cf fairly sized townships which are not, bat shoo'd be, incorporated. In these a narrrow strip down the centre of the main road ia indifferently m&int lined by the Govern ment ; while the side) of this and the whole of olhrr streets are left unoared for, and are in a worse state generally than when Captain Cook paid his memorable visit to the colony. How different is the appear & ca of similar townships in Queensland, Victoria, or South Australia, where the pe> pie have er.j -.j ed the blessings ol local sel -governm n for Biveral yeais ' In New South Wales the fcmty expenditure which au impecunious Government can afford is coufiutd wholly to the centre of the roadway, except in those cares where a representative by persistent hedging obtain a vote for a bridge or a piece roadway other than the main road ; and i must not be forgotten that such grants are

at the expsnee of, and unjust to, other equally necessitous districts. It is time that this disgrace to the colony was re-ooved, hut this will never be until the public themselves move in the matter. There are too many “ roads and bridges members” in the Parliament, who would find their occupation gone with the passing of an equitable Local Govern ment Act; and it is unreasonable to suppose t' at these would exert them selves to effect a change which wan'd be disastrous to their own intera ts. There are other members who talk like pacro's, and with very little more knowledge of tbe meaning of their own words than those loquacious birds. This is a sorry admission. But it ia true; and the electors themselves are responsible for it

If they allow themselves to be led away by plausible, long-wiuded, and generally meaningless oratio. a (g ive the mark ’.) by legislators, they must suffer for It, — Town and Country Journal.

THE ICY SOUTH.

The Prrmier of Victoria has sent the 1 following dispatch to the Agent-General of that colony relative to tho sugges tions recently made for Antarctic explora tion and trade There seems from reports to be a fair prospect of a re munerative enterprise such as msy perhaps attract the attention of those conversant with whaling ; and if any proprietors of Teasels would be disposed to make the attempt, this Government, and possibly other Australian Governments, might be induced to grant iu connection with it some aid for tho encouragement of scien tific discovery. Sir G. Berry is requested te make I- fjuiries as to the likelihood of the enterprise, and the extent of Govern ment assistance which would be expected in order to lead to its being taken up ; and _is recommended to apply to Mr !David Bros 3, of Dundee, the principal of (team whalers,

There was a moderate entry of sheep anl cattle, but no pigs came forward. In fat sheep there was only a small entry of good butchers’ quality, and the roat of the pens were filled with medium, which, not realising owners’ idea", were turned out unsold. In stores a couple of pens i of crossbred lambs caused some competi tion, and were eventually knocked down t 4s 6d and 5s ; they were both healthy lines, but not very b'g. In cattle there was a small entry, especially in fat, and butchers will bo forced to attend the Addington Yards for a supply.

THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26. ISB6



It is stated that a well-known Edinburgh gentleman, renowned for his munificence, has offered to complete the new University buildings at his own expense. The cost, it is understood, would not bo far short cf £50,000 or £60,000. The gentleman who has made the offer is said to be Mr M’Ewan, brewer, who has already most liberally sub scribed to the building. News has been received ia Berlin from the German colony in South-west Africa of another sanguinary encounter between the Hereto and Kama tribe. The fighting took place on April 17. The Namas were defeated in several battles, and their dead were very numerous. The fighting arose, like the fighting last year, out of an attempt of the Chief Hendrik Witdooi to force his way through Heroroland. The Wellington Post quotes the following description of Nelson from Baron Hubner’e



“ Through the British Empire,” as a sample of the rubbish written by tourists:—“The inhabitants are retired men of business, who are living on their incomes, or if old officials, on their pensions. There is not a sign of life or movement, An unbroken Sunday hangs over this Pensionopolis, and contrasts, in my opinion, most agreeably with the bustle of tbe great centres of trade. I have seen in the colonies so many men crushed with business, absorbed with the desire and the need of making money, that these idlers seem to me like persona crowned with a halo. The dolce far niente is pictured on their happy, careless, and somewhat sleepy features. They are contented, pleased to enjoy repose, the shade of their gardens, and the gentle warmth of a sun half-veiled by the mists of the bay ; pleased also to find themselves removed from the plagues and worries of towns, and complacently conscious of having abjured the worship of the golden calf.”



Tho scene after the vote on the Home Rule Bill (says “ Atlas” in the II 'odd) quite throws into the shade anything that haa occurred inside the House within the memory of living man. Mr Ashmead-Barlett was sacrilegiously called a “ lin-pot militiaman” ; such words as liar, thief and scoundrel were freely bandied, and fists (some not too cleanly) were shaken in the face of Mr Chamberlain. Mr Seager- Hunt was the subject of actual assault and battery, and Lord Hartington’s waist coat was torn in the video. At one time a free fight seemed inevitable. The cheers and counter-cheers were taken up by the spectators; a mob of all sorts and conditions of men took possession of the outer lobby, where Lord Hartington (somewhat ruffled by his experi ences inside) received an ovation; and amongst the distinguished visitors sat tran quilly the “ autocrat of the breakfast table,” who talked pleasantly to the diplomatists till de Stael claimed big place.
