A FOOLISH CRITICISM.
London, Feb. 26. The Fi.rl of Meath, in an article in the Ninet( i.i.th Century, on the Australasian colonic.-.-, says that the working man is a de>]:ot'ic king in. New Zealand, where capii.ii is weakest, chiefly owing to aWvi.-iitee bondholders, and that only poor iii.*:i are runholders, clergymen, and eluiks. In the Australian colonies on the other hand, he says that capital has been victorious after a hard struggle. He states that he has never heard of good work being done in any colony possessing manhood suffrage, but there were frequent complaints that the legislators were of an inferior type as compared with those of the early days. The Earl adds that a clergymau in New Zealand informed him that he had to submit to most foul language from members of his vestry, who held the purse-strings. In concluding he says that large classes of colonists are affectionately loyal to the Mother Country, and only need an occasion to astonish the world.
