Among other symptoms of the times that should be sources of congratulation to the friends of the colonies, we cannot but reckon it as a very fertile one, that this year's addition to the number of our morning journals devotes A much larger portion of its columns, boltrin the way of commeat and of news, to colonial mat, tere then either of its elder brethren. We refer to the Daily News, which has of late been distinguished for the attention it bestows to those important subjects, so generally neglect ed by the London press. It is hardly possible to exaggerate the effect which may be produced in the way of colonial reform by the continu

s strictures of a daily journat. In a leader of yesterday, devoted to a sessional paper con- sisting of certain Order in Council since 1833. relating to the establishment at the Colonial. office, and to Me, Gladstone's correspondence with the Treasury on the appointment of an Assistant-Secretary to the Colonies, we have a most vital portion of the great hoon of Colo- nial Reform thus ably and (ersely summed up

Looking back upon this historical sketch of Tetent attempts to reconstruct the Colonial-office, two circumstances must strike the reader. The Erst in the timid manner in which every reforming Colonial Secretary lays hated to the work. The arcond is the vacillation and uncertainty evinced. as to the best means, every now Secretary undoing what the other had done These symptoms can ily be attributed to some powerful counteracting influence under which the genius of all those Mi-

nisters stood rebuked. And we think that there are indications in these returns of the beal or per sanal habitation of this thwarting power Mr. Spring Rice argues for permanent Secretary and Under Becretary in 1831 on the ground that they all communicnle uniformity and consistency to colonial government Dani John Russel, in his briter of 1839, shows that deference to the feelings of the permanent members at the bureau prevent- et him from acting on his nwn judgment Were

Gladstone, in his letter to the Commissioners of the Treasury, thus comments upon Lord John's ex- pression Six years have alapsed since that period, and the permanent Under-Secretary still Continure to give to this department the services of which,: umler different arrangements, it has had the benefit, fy a lerin of more than thirty years.' Mr. Gladstone, adds that the diversity and com- plexity, as well as the amount, of business which pre-ses upon the office, render him anxiong to make sune provision, with a view to permanent adv in- tage in the discharge of these peculiar duties, of a kind of aid which the general establishment of a public department cannot reasonably be expected in supply' la pluin English, Mr Gladstone wants na pengagent assistant Secretary, as a counter- Frise for the deaptism worch the familiarity with Bll details, acquired during a service of thirty years, coables the present permanent Under Secreury to exercise over the ostensible Mini ter.

hint may not be lost It is to the hoped that thin upon Earl Gray To work out those improvements in celonial administration which he and the Prine Minister contemplate he will require the best ma chinery.
