When Botany Bay was first established
as penal establishment, thirty years
ago, we believe it never entered into the
contemplation of those who recommended
the measure, that such n population and
such state Of society, as now exists in the
two colonies, could have been created within
the first hundred years. The town of Sid.
ney has 1900 houses, and 1000 Inhabitants !;
and such is the demand for land apd new
buildings, that the former in many places Is
stated to be worth 91000 an acre, and that
houses let for from G100 TO :P500 a year.
Nothing can be more delightful than the
commanding situation of this capital of the
Australasian world. Its noble harbour, with
its hundred coves, capable OF containing all
the shipping in the world, its warehouses
and its quays, and the number of ships which
visit it, give to it the appearance and hustle
Of AN English seaport. 1t has two Episcopal
churches, two Methodist churches, and q
Roman Catholic church; an excellent mar
ket held three days in the week, in large
oblong square with commodious public stores
for the reception Of unsold goods; IN re-
turn for which, triiling dues are levied, a
mounting in the year 1917 to Els. and in 1872
to I575.

tralasian Magazine, the Australasian News

ligious and moral education OF the adults

enue of the colony: besides Sunday Schools
