VISIT

TO AUSTRALIA

Melbourne, Mar. 8.

With the Royal visit to Australia slightly beyond the half way mark, it was gratifying to be able to say that the Queen was in splendid health and spirits, Mr Eric Harrison, Minister in charge of the Royal Tour, said today.

"All Her Majesty's people, in whatever land they may be, can know that the Queen and the Duke are happy and are thoroughly enjoying changing scenes as they move from State to State," said Mr Harrison,

Mr Harrison said: "That is of paramount importance. It is good to be able to add that everything has gone extraordinarily well.

"The Queen is now on the verge of her Afth week In Australia. Both Her Majesty and the Duke have been deeply moved by the tremendous wei- come they have received.

We find that the Revenue in 1853 has increased £3,300.4.7% ns compared with the preceding year, and is in excess of the previous four years; but nearly £400 short of what it was in 1840.
