(_'\.-1‘ i..,._-i. ‘,;...,-.: [It .i ‘iii-ltish colony, and it cannot fail to iin ress the people of this coun- try. Wlicii the iiillot in ii colony which has risen so rapidly on Victoria is deemed essential to perfect l'i-cwlom of thought. and where the varioiis mod»-s of inﬂuencing men's votes must necessarily be much less reﬁned and tortuous than with us, how much more essential is it that this great sufoguard of electoral purity should exist in Great Britain, where the state of society is so much more com lcx, and where all the undue inﬂuences ofwca th, and station, and bribery are brought to bear upon the secu- ring of political triumphs. In thus acting, the Australian colonists have taught us a lesson which can hardly fail to giveanimmense impetus to the ructical trium h of seoretover open vo- tin . it will cause 0 iticians to ponder, and it wi show the worl at large how determineda oiing and energetic community is to rise supe- rior to the trammels which wealth and social inﬂuence throw around the dovelopement and u ansioii ofon old country like our own. ut this is not the only phase of the last intelligence from Australia which is worthy of a cum notice. Men in a new colony are measure by their worth and personal talents —by the service which they can render to the society of which they are members, and being known to their nei libours, a ver accurate estimate is usually ormed of their abilities. Whoa Sir Charles llothain’s ministry fell. a gentleman named Nicholson was “ sent for, is oiover, clear-headed nctioal man, deserved- ly esteemed in Austra a, and who has worked

l (‘H|lllllilXl(l of good iiiotlit-r l-lnglisli, littered with 'a nut uii nlciisiiig ('uiii|»ci~l.-iiid accent." The l'ollow'iii;; brief sketch of this colonial pheno- im-imii, l'rom the pen of the l\lcll;oui-ne corres- ? pondcnt ol the leading morning jouriial, is ex- ‘ trciiicly s'.iggestivc:—-*llis integrity is spotless, v he is endowed with common scnsc~in no ordi- lllllry degree, and he has that udininistrative uhility which the architects of a coiiimercinl fortune cannot be destitute of. Although he commenced life as (I. grocer, it would be diili- cult to select from the 6 members of the [louse it man so well entitled to the conﬁdence ofthe ll-Misc and the country—and he has it. “ * Mi-. Nicholson has exchanged the shop for the counting house and the craft of the mer- unt." It is understood,thn.t when Mr. Ni- cholson “was sent for," after the manner of our English premiers, to form an administra- tion, he wiis aboutto leave the colony temporiili- l , for the purpose of establishing branch houses of his own in London and Liverpool. Probably he may be induced to forego this determination in consequence of the honour which has thus been thrust upon hini,but the incident is instructive, as showing the class of men in whose bands will ultimately rest the destiny of the Australian group of colonies.

Under the new state of things, it willbo more than ever necessary to place at the head of the Austi-olian colonies as Governors men of more than ordinary nbility—nien at all events who will have sense and shrcwdness to appreciate the dilliculty and delicacy of the task commit- , ted to their hands, and whose adiiiinistration lwill be in liarinony with the popular element I which will in future rule there. An injudici- ‘I ous selection might be productive of the worst consequences, and in future such appointments : ought to be the reward of eminent civic merit ; » for it is clear, that the obstinate and scll'-sulli- ‘cicnt military men who are usually placed at I the head of British colonies in various parts of the world, would speedily u set all the wise legislative enactments for inuintaining intact a. friendly understanding between breut Britain and her settlements ut the antipodes. In no- thing is rcfoi-ui more necessary than in the education and personal fitness of the men to whom is iutrusted the rule of large communi- ties far removed from the mother country, and the subject is of such vast importance, that we can only for the present throw out IL hint— which may induce reflection.

That the colonists of Victoria are not a little proud of their legislative privileges may be inferred from the splendid ‘lenses of Parlia- ment which they are erecting in the city of Melbourne. The building we learn,is under contract to be completed by the first of May next, and will cover an area of 305 feet b 2-30, and the side walls of the cliunibers will )0 di- vided into coinpartinents by Ionic columns, and coupled columns of the same order are ranged along the ends. The space between the pilas~ tors will form pannels in which the heroes of colonial history will ﬁnd niches for their por- traits, on the plan of the palace at Westmin- ster. Thcse are gratifying iiidications of the interest which the colonists take in the land of their adoption, and while the British Parlia- ment has acted wisely in conceding to the colo- nists the means 0 verning themselves with as little intervention as possible from Downing- strcet, our own legislative bodies must take care that they are not altogether distanced in the aming wise and liberal laws by our own countrymen at the Anti odes. Certainly the introduction of the ballot there is a. worn- ing of the r ght kind, and there is an reflective intimation in this voice from Australia which ought not to be lost upon English statesmen.
