We cannot but advert in our Summary of this week to the brighter prospects that open to colonial interests at the present epoch. When before have we had the Prime Minister of England, in an address to the constituency of the Metropolis of the whole British Empire, urging on their notice as one of those things "required" and one which he seeks their suf frages to undertake, that the administration of our colonies demands the most armest deliberate attention? Nor dues the select of his officers for the Department of the Col nies do injustice to this nobly simple declars- tion. Earl Grey as chief, and Mr Benja-um Hawes as subaltern, guarantee a rare umon of farsighted ability and energy with habits of business, such as the annals of the Coloniel- office supply no record of
