The Sydney Morning Herald estimates that over zo.ooo Australians have left for England during Febsuarv and the first ha’f of March, mostly with the object of seeing the Colonial Exhibition. An American wrote when Queensland attempted to annex New Guinea : ‘'England has stolen another Island. The place is very inaccessible that England would not try to steal. She would annex perdition itself had she not already acquired a right to it bjr colonisation.”
The editor of Truth entertains some curious ideas respecting the colonies which he occasionally airs in his paper. He is now impressing upon his readers that - social usage in Australia dam .uds a “divorce dinner.’’ at which all the persons who were present at the wedding of the divorced pair are invited ; the idea being that the parting couple, to make their guests quite at ease, should be animated by a spirit of most benevolent kindness towards each other.
