AS OTHERS SEE THE COLONY.
The Australian and New Zealand Gazette, a London paper, in issue of the 18th November, reviews at considerable length the extraordinary progress being made by New Zealand. The concluding portion of the article is as follows:—!' And all this mighty bulk of mercantile enterprise must be the work of, at the very utmost, less than one quarter of a million of persons, whose exertions have thus lifted the colony to a position of commercial power and opulence which, doubtless, is secretly envied by more than one of the old-estab-lished States of Europe. Competent authorities, who are intimately acquainted with the material capacities of New Zealand, tell us that the two principal islands will, eventually, support with ease a population of at least fourteen or fifteen mil* lions; several millions more, indeed, might be maintained."
