Mr ; Molloy,M,P.on. Australia!

t Immediately bn liis return from ft six months' tour of tho.'.Colonies, Air B, C, Mollo)\1 was pmincedjupon' by V Pall Mall' intervio\vei\and subjected to a lengtliy examination. > .The primary object of JlrWolloy's .visitto; Victoria was to

practically teat anew process of treat ing refractory .auriferous oroa, and the * opporniiiity of tluicy so wuS'oH'uii'il. him atßallarat. " The goid futiuo of Australia," ho thinks," is incredibly ViUiaut. Although,'l had gono out prepared,by glowingrepqrts .for great tilings, I was surprised by tlio actui.l i "It ia true Victoria tlio Hjuartz strain iind alluvial deposits nrd worked out, but tlio deep reefs are now being; touched with: most' satisfactory results, It is, however, South Australia and Queensland that now presehUlie largest aiid best iields for « -mining. Tlio highest scientific lorities used to ■ declare that gold could not possibly be found in South Australia.. But in. many parts gold has been discovered, in, some cases in it richness equal to 7oz to tlio ton,". He agrees with tlio generality of tourists in the Colonics in pronouncing Australia tlic paradise of tlio working man. On tlio Colonial tailing question of the hour Mr Molloy thus delivers himself, whilst admitting that ho speaks from limited; observation " As to the indictmont 'against John Chinaman on the score, of immorality, I cannot see inucli to' chSoso, between the Chinese and Certain of the colonists, »If>John Chinaman ; keeps a gambling hell, it is the Australians who form the mass of his supporters. If the question of exclusion rests on the. e grounds alono the Australians could not justly: shut out iipthe Chinaman without excluding men of other nationalities asivell. These questions of immoral behavior resolve themselves, it seo'ms to me, into mere fstions pfi .police, rather than into Hers of high policy, Upon the wider aspects of the Ohiiiese' immigration question; it is impossible hot to entertain sympathy'with tlio colonial feeling.," Mr Molloy; believes.; thero will be a real federation of the Oolonios some. day, but federation in; its present form, he says, will never be accepted, l'o this statement he adds a somewhat- enigmatic assertion :4" I have been coiiimissioned by the leading members of the'' South Australian Parliament to bring,before the (Imperial authorities the strong .objections entertained to tlio method of constituting the Senate of the federation by nomination,'instead of by direct popular vote. It is claimed that tlio samo system .that.is established iii Canada shall ho established in Australia, and it is pointed out that when Canada was invested with her powers her trade and resources, were

far less tbari the trade! ami .resbui'ces

of Australia at the present ihoiaent. imniu purpose. ; of tlie federation Ml be to regulate .tlie tfiscal relation, sbips, and it will undoubtedly tend to. getiid iofi'tlio enormous protective tariffs : wbicli tliey pay off agitinst rack other.' 1 "-' ! ;
