But this winy bo bat effented by en-1 forcing responsibility of the gravost kind upon x|laniborities -civil, nával, py, military--who may fail in judgment or discretion on occasions of instant emergency. Any deviation from much general instructions and standing orders | un the Home Guvarumont may iamg shouta bo justified only by the clearest evidence of over ruling necessity. And any billure in this re aprot sbould be promptly followed by paslin rebuke and diëmiunt. We venture to say the danger under such conditions would not be on the mids of rneliness.

OUR COLONIAL POLICY, 19 The following dated Manae, Bathurst New Sooth Wales, Joly, appeared in a recont number of the Standard :—"I'roud a part df s letter whiob sains Canadian had addressed to you, and which gave expression to the Canu diau feeling with respect to End, Graville's colonial policy-it policy that may be called whicb. is a qourse most inaung Hoving lived for some years in Canada, I-know-well-the Borrow of that noble province at the thought of what is so coolly_threatened' them. With un hero there is a deepening feeling of disgust mingled with amazement; but our people in Australia can lose in nothing, while the Cana ditte drend alporption. It in very sad, how ever, to see a capire like ours diemensheed
by half-a-dozen men known as Cabinet Minis ters; it is disgusting to think that illà in con- templated on the ground of coonomy, ant in the name of fair play. We ull deple what in so boldly indiented; and Grust Bruin, think, is the true sufferer. The lestare I have ventured to transmit was written to hate it convoys, however, to such as may road it, the colonist view of present Imperial acta: Thank- ful would I be for the sake of Britain, and that - her ruin why he warded off, if any word of wine could in any way affent public opinipa at home It is not too manch to hope that colonial state- mente, ogh as the lecture herewith sent, m be persued and considered.
