The four vessels at the Heads still lie there, —the Pet, inside. , * The severe weather of the last few days still prevails, and prevents the arrival or departure of shipping. The Chariot of Fame is still in port, but will sail to-morrow (Thursday) morning. The Queen, also, is not expected to sail until the morning. The City of Hpbait has steam up,, and may sail.this, evening, as the .weatheris now showing signs of improvement. The Aphrasia steamer, for Invercargill, is another vessel waiting departure. Notwithstanding the unfavorable circumstances, the traffic to Waikouaiti still goes on., The Lyttelton steamer has re-, turned, bringing ; some."passengers who > have a been, • there, and are returning for goods, and the Geelong, took some goods and a. few' passengers down to-day, ou her way to-Oamaru. , A small. boat,' containing some flour and other goods,'is, reported to ".have,been, capsized in taking. the beach there yesterday. No credible accounts seem-yet to have been, received Iroin the diggings, but the present weather is an obstacle tq.traffic up and down ,the country, and it must be some days or weeks before much satisfactory information can be obtained.

- ACCLIMATISATION. (From the Federal Standard, April 30.) We may laugh as we please at the efforts of those well-meaning individuals who ai-e doing theiv best to acclimatise in these colonies the birds, beasts, fishes, and vegetables of other parts of the world ; but when the subject is seriously considered by any thinking m«n, the importance of acclimatisation at once becomes apparent. For instance, let us reflect for one moment what Australia would have been without acclimatisation. Here is an immense country, highly suited for the occupation of man, and capable of producing almost everything known in commerce. When visited by the Dutch, this virgin territory was nothing more than one vast forest, with occasional variations of plain, mountain, lake, and stream. For centuries had the sun risen and set over that vast continent, apparently for no other purpose than to minister to the comfort of a handful of savages, and to sustain a few of the lowest types of animal and insect life. Solitude and silence reigned over all— there were no flocks and herds to increase and multiply after their kind ; there was no operating1 cause to make the earth bring1 forth the green herb for the use of man. Captain Cook was the first acclimatise:1; he . introduced the Anglo-Saxon race to Australia. Governor Phillip followed w|th his little colony of 750 persons, with his store of tropical seeds fromßio and Cape Town, and with his small quantum of live stock, consisting of one bull, four cows, one stallion, three mares anil three colts. The name of the patriot who-introduced the fir3t pig has not been handed down to us, but it must be mentioned that at a later period Macartlmr acclimatised the merino sheep. The orange was introduced soon after the foundation of the colony, and the vine somewhnt subsequently. By . degrees-the acclimatisation system extended itself, and various ships, like so many Noah's arks, poured forth on our soil samples of animal arid vegetable existence, to form the parent stocks of future sources of national wealth. Now mark the result. One generation has passed away, and this continent-^ealled by Irishmen the fifth quarter of the globe—has emerged from a chaotic waste into a hive of industry and civi)l"satioh. The colonists count thchhcattle upon a thousand hills, the wilderness has been made to blossom as :a.rose. Australia has become the first wool producing country in the . world, and : thousands of" operatives at the antipodes earn their ' subsistence by manufacturing our raw produce into goods. Many millions worth of hides, horns, and tallow are exported, whilst our breed of horses has found high favour in the markets of India.'. Even' Oranges were exported from Sydney to the value of £80,000 a-year, whilst the production of wine bids fairto equal in value the whole of our pastoral wealth; We say-nothing, about our annual twelve millions ■ worth of gQld, for that is one" of the few articles of value which were indigenous. : i Now, suppose nothing had been acclimatised here , 'but the white man himself, what would be the posi- ,' tion of the colonists'! They would be living—if living at all—a wandering, half-starved community, ■. subsisting •' probably; on grubs .and , nardoo, clothed most /likely in skins of the kangaroo and opossum. JBut we.are happy to say the spirit.of acclimatisation^is • not dead amongst us.; Aflock.of alpacas has been recently introduced .by Mr. ledger,: which ■in a • few" years will probably prqve the means of, adding to the development of: our . great national resources. The camel, too, is a guest* whose arrival has been welcomed with pleasure, and although explorers, and others have scarcely learnt ".to utilise. tUese* ships of the desert, it is very probable the camel may :vejtj)rpve : a,valuable assistance in. travelling ;tlie;waterlessjparts : of, the interior, or seconding thejexertion^ ofadventurous discoverers. ; Cotton .and ; th e^sugar' cane are amongst the most usefulof,our , last introductions, and.ithe time.;will doubtless arrive when they will begin...to i .teil .upon.,our. exports, Thanks to the exertions of some of the colonists, our rivers may , some, ;day •■ teem 7 ; with the loi-dly salmon, and' our _..harvest fields be enlivened with the .; music, of the skylark. ,To make a long story short, we may say that Australia's productions are only limited by the extent we ( .are; prepared to go into acclamatisation. The early colonists found nothing here but a fertile soil, a splendid climate, arid an abundant pasture ; they have so 'far:well improved these good gifts. Bo it ours to follow as they* have begun. .
