wealth is seldom, in the present day, practicable in any part of the world without extreme difficulty, assiduity, and good fortune. The labourer or mechanic who hopes by emigrating to the Australian colonies to obtain a com fortable subsistence for his wife and children, and the means of educating and comfortably establishing the latter, will not be disappointed. The man of small capital, who has to maintain and establish a growing family, will accomplish these important ends more easily in the Aus tralian colonies than in England, Scotland, or Ireland ; and, finally, the capitalist, endowed with prudence and intelligence, as well as with money, will find in the cease less activity of these colonies a sphere of prominent use fulness and exertion, not accessible in England to any but those who already occupy stations of wealth and rank. A fine climate and the cheerful occupations of a new settlement will present sufficient inducements for emigra tion to those whose capital is inadequate to meet their necessary expenditure at the low rate of interest which the English money-market affords.
