DEVELOPMENT OF AUSTRALIA.

A PERCEPTIBLE LIFT. WHAT SIR GEORGE REID HAS : DONE. By Telegraph—Press Association—CoDyrieht. (Roc. January 17, 10.15 p.m.) London, January 17. The "Globe," in an article on Australian development, says fho most sceptical of Australians must admit that it was worth while appointing a High Commissioner, inasmuch as Great Britain has heard inoro about Australia since Sir Georgo Reid's arrival than ever before. Tho result has been a perceptible lift in emigration. It is now understood far and wide that Australia is desirous of population, and that there is no such prejudice in Australia against Englishmen as in Canada, where it is often announced that no English need apply.

"Wo hear good accounts from settlers in Australia," says the Globe, "and n6 advertisement equals private Home letters from contented settlers. It is probable, now that the Northern Territory is under Commonwealth control, that settlers with some capital will turn their attention to the ■ neighbourhood of Port Darwin.
