Sydney, September 11. ! The British Parliamentarians were i greatly impressed by the northern trip, and are eulogistic of the beauties and potentialities of Australia generally. There was a great gathering ol legal talent ,in the Supreme Court to witness the admission of the legal members of the party to the New South Wales' Bar. There was an imposing ceremony, and subsequently the whole party were the guests of the Chamber of Commerce at lunch. The president of the Chamber declared that the visit would help towards a greater mutual understanding and sympathy, without which nothing in the Empire ideal coi»ld he achieved. Sir Joseph Walton, replying, said the visitors had viewed with pride and a-lmiration the development already achieved in Australia. He congratulated the Empire on what Australia had done.

Colonel Carlisle similarly praised the Commonwealth. If, lie said, the visit taught them anything it was that the security on loans was in every sense satisfactory. He asked them to encourage British manufacturers to- send what Australia wanted.
