AUSTRALIA AND THE PRINCE OF WALES.
At a grand banquet given in Paris by the Hon. Mr Combes, who represents the Colony of New South Wales at tire Exhibition, the question was seriously moated that the heir apparent should be invited to nay a visit to the antipodes. This is not the first time that the suggestion has been made, and there is reason to believe that there arc events much farther removed from the regions of probability than this. Of course, the calls upon the Prince’s time arc many and great, and no near date could possibly bo fixed for carrying out the project. But that if Europe remains quiet another year, and Australia expresses a really hearty desire to be honored by the presence of its future sovereign, the visit will be made ere long, is very probable indeed. The Prince’s hearty friendliness for all the colonies is well known. Probably no one would be better pleased than his Royal Highness himself if public affairs and reasons of State will permit of this antipodean trip.—* Home News ’
