A new industey appears likely to spring up in Queensland, in the cultivation of the tea plant. It appears that tea made by some Chinese from plants growing in the Botanical Gardens at Brisbane, was exhibited at a late agricultural show held there. This tea was of three or four sorts, the worst being said to be equal to that ordinarily sold in the shops. It is said that the climate and soil of Queensland are well suited for the cultivation of this plant, and the press of the colony is sanguine that it will ultimately form an important item of its produce.
