The natives, they siy, are anxious to afford them every facility; Alas! Is the Government bo incapable that it can do nothing to replenish the Colonial Treasury ?— lt is a lamentable thing that gold, which can be had for the digging, cannot be made available became Government and the natives cannot' come to teims, and because Government will not suffer the miners (who can) to en er into arrangement of the utI most consequence to the Colonial weal.
