This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for
personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.
About Google Book Search
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful. Google Book Search helps readers
discover the world's books while helping authors and publishers reach new audiences. You can search through the full text of this book on the web

To the Editor of the " Western Independent/* Bathorst.
Sir,-— I desire through your paper to thank Mr. J. Knights for having publicly made
known the curability of Asthma under theJHomceopathic Medical Science, as practised
by Dr. Fawcett, of fiathurst, as to him I applied as a last resource with the most
singrular and successful results. Having during the last seven or eight years suffered
from a most distressing cough, which gradually got worse until I could scarce speak,
and had to be bolstered up in my bed, the expectoration was very great and offensive.
About five years back a duly qualified doctor pronounced my case as hopeless, as my
right lung was gone and he could do no more for me, and that I could not possibly liv^
the winter through* Previous to this I applied to another duly qualified doctor, wht»
pronounced my left lung gone and the right fast going. Since then I have had the
advice and medicine of many other doctors with nu better results, and left to drag out
a most miserable and expensive existence until I saw Mr. Knights' stateftient. Then I
sought the advice and help of Dr. Fawcett with the most happy results, and in a few
months, by taking very pleasant medicine, I can breathe with freedom, my cough is
srone, I enjoy my food, and my lungs, which were represented to be gone, are now per-
forming their functions as well as ever. Thanks be to God and Dr. Fawcett, I once
more enjoy life in health and strength, and any one similarly afflicted, can now see me
in my shop, comer of Durham and Stewart streets.
MARY HUGHES
I hereby certify that my wife's statement is correct in every particular.
William Hcohbs.
October. 1877.
To the Married Ladies of Bathurst and the Western District.
In my humble capacity as midwife and nurse of many years' experience, I beg to
submit the following extraordinary fact in connection with a case of midwifery. My
daughter, Mrs. T. McDonald, of Lambert-street, having on each of her three previous
occasions endured the itreatest misery conceivable, averaging 24 hours each, and
followed by difficult and expensive convalescence, was at a loss to know whom to
employ in her late confinement. On enquiry of others whom Dr. Fawcett attended,
she learned that his skill and success in all such cases were unequalled, consequently
she employed him with the following singular, successful results: At first I was
agreeably surprised on beiilg informed that all anticipated troubles would vanish
throughout her case, and that she would not have, as before, two or three months
agonizing pain prior to the event. Friends and neighbours were greatly astonished at
Dr. Fawcett's statement proving correct, as by the aid of his tasteless medicines the
lying-in-chamber is well nigh freed from one of its greatest terrors in the different
stages of parturition. A speedy and painless Iftbour of a few moment's duration, and a
rapid convalescence, were the result of Dr. Fawcett's treatment and attention.
mes. w. booth,
July, 1877. • Lambert-street, Bathurst.
[OBBTIFICATK.l
We hereby certify that the above statement Is in every respect correct, and do advise
all who value their lives in the time of need to call in Dr. FAWCETT. We should be-
glad to answer any enquiries on the above subject.

What the Critics say,
'' TMs is twice the book that 'Helen's Babies' is, and deserves
to have twice its sale. The characters are perfectly portrayed,
and the whole book is fiill of a (juiet humour delightful to die
reader. It is one of the most original and entertaining books of
the season. The characters are drawn with singular clearness
and power, and page after page will be read with increasing
absorption of interest. A more rarely amusing book has seldom
come to us, even across the Atlantic. "

MOOBE'S AtrSTBALXAN EDITION.
" From an unknown author comes this remarkably fresh,
strong, and racy book. When we say, that having once begun
it, we found ourselves constrained to read it straight through at
a sitting, we give it, according to the novel-reader's standard,
the highest praise ; yet the book has much higher qualities than
those of a fascinating novel. ... It touches tne springs of
compassion and sympathy ; it moves us to a quicker sensibility
towards the struggles and sorrows of our own neighbours, even
the plainest and most unattractive of them. The true spirit o(
the Gospel is in the story." — Christian Union.

MOORB'S 'AUSTRALIAN EDITION.
Your true lover is found ! Your true history at last is written !
. We have had ** Water Babies," fascinating, hut impossible ; and
** Dream Children," shadowy and unreal; and saintly babies,
good with an uncanny and unhealthy goodness ; but " Helen's
Babies*' are like none of these. No indeed; they are made of
flesh and blood; good, sound, hearty flesh, and honesty red, life-
blood; mischievous, affiectionate, distracting, unendurable, en-
chanting, naughty, adorable darlings, whom one laughs and cries
over, and cannot bear to leave. They are not *' children in a
book." We have all known Budge and Toddie, and heard their
<|aeer, half^inspired sayings, and recognised the ** heaven that
lies about them in their infancy," and been plagued to death by
their diabohc tricks, and driven mad by their torturing inven-
tions, and tempted to fall down and worship them when the
angel shines out in them, and to sigh when we think how much
nearer heaven their little, pure, white souls are than ours. That
is to say, all of us who love children really. If thore be any
miserable man, or miserabler woman, who does not, let them
avoid "Helen*s Babies ;" for it is a true and faithful chronicle of
their dcnngs and sayings, their rare attractions and their frequent
crimes,, by the hand of one who knows and loves them wdl.
THIS IS THE REAL CHILD-EPIC.
The man who thus " sings the arms and " — U/^s of Budge and
Toddie has done for them what Virgil did for -^neas, or Homer
for Ulysses. So, all ye fathers and mothers, and uncles and
aimts, and grandfathers and grandmothers, wherever and who-
ever ye be, go to your Booksefier, get ** Helen's Babies," and be
happy.

ECLIPSES -1878.
Tn the year 1878 there will be two Eclipses of. the Sun, and two of the
Moon.
Birst. — An Annular Eclipse of the Sun on the afteiiioon of Februaiy 2nd,
▼isible as a partial one ov^r the whole of Australia, with the exoeptioii of
tl)e north-eastern coast. The central line passes near the south pole and
through Tasmania. At Sydney the eclipse bep^ins at 6h Situ. 29s. p.m.,
and the sun will set eclipsed, with rather more than half his diameter
covered by the moon. The position of l^e point of first contact on the
sun*s lidib will be 59 degrees west of the south point, or 115 degrees from
the vertex, towards the left. lu the western parts of the colony more of
the eclipse will be visible than in Sydney.
Second.— A Partial Eclipse of the Moon on the evening of February 17th»
visible throughout New South Wales. At Sydney the phases will take
place as follows :— First contact with the penumbra, 6h. 46m. 4s. p.m. ; first
contact with the shadow, 7h. 47m. 8s. p.m. ; middle of the eclipse, 9h.
15m. t>s. p.m. ; last contact with the shadow, lOh. 43m. 48 p.m. : last contact
with the penumbra, lib. 44m. 8s. p.m.
The first contact with the shadow takes place at a point 98 degrees to
the east of the moon's southern point. At the middle of the eclipse rather
more than eight-tenths of the moon's diameter will be covered by the
earth's shadow.
Third.— A Total Eclipse of the Sun on the morning of July 30th, invisible
in Australia. The central line passes through north eastern Asia and
North America.
Fourth — A Partial Eclipse of the Moon on the morning of August 13th,
invisible in New South Wales.
A Transit of the Planet Mercury across the face of the sun will take
place on the morning of May 7th. the end of which will be visible in New
South Wales. The sun will rise with the planet on his disc, and at Sydney
the last external contact of the two bodies will take place at 8h. 53m.

GENERAL EQUATION TABLE.
Equation of Time is the differenoe between tbe indications of a sun dial
and those of a correct and aniform time-piece. It arises from the fact that
the apparent motion of the snn is not aniform ; and also from the obliquity
of the ecliptic. There are only four times in the year when the clock and
the sun ' mean time and apparent solar time— coincide ; and these an
April 15, 16; June 15. 16; September 1 ; December 24, 25. At all other
times the sun comes to the meridian sooner or later than 12 o*clock by the
time-piece. A closely approximating table of equations for the longitude of
Svdney, is given in tne monthly columns of the Calendar, [headed '* Sun on
Meridian, "J which see. But as it is useful to have some general scale
applicable to all ordinanr purposes everywhere, the following table is here
inserted from an Encyclopedia. The mark X indicates that the clock i$
earlier than the sun ; the mark — that it is later.

whatever is necessary for the safe transmission of such articles, or usually appertains
thereto ; but the binding, rollers, &c., must not be sent as a separate packet.

other enclosure not allowed by Rule 1. If this liule be infringed, the entire package
is charged as a letter.f
3. A book packet may be posted either without a cover (in which case it must not
be fastened, whether bjr means of gum, wafer, sealing wax, postage stamp, or other-
wise), or in a cover entirely open at both ends, so as to admit of the contents being
easily withdrawn for examination^ ; otherwise it is treated as a letter. For the
freater security of the contents, however, it may be tied at the ends with string,
'ostm asters being authorised to cut the string in such cases, although if they do so
they must again tie up the packet.
4. No book packet may be above sixteen ozs. in weight, nor above two feet in

tions, or of any Act of the Customs, or epistolary communication, or having less
than one rate prepaid as a packet not exceeding two ounces in weight, or which shall
have no postage, or less than one rate of postage in accordance with the rate
* Entries merely stating who sends the book, &o., or to Whom it is given, are not regarded
as a letter.
t It is the duty of Postmasters, whenever they Lave grocmd for snspeoting an infriuire-
ment of any of ih9 above eonditions, and occasionally, even when there is no ground for
suspicion, to open and examine book packets posted at, or passing through their office.

Letter Office forthwith.
7. Packets containing returns of births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths, may be
transmitted unstamped, the postage being paid upon delivery, if marked as con-
taining such returns only, and signed by the Clergyman or the District Registrar
transmitting them.
PATTERN AND SAMPLE POST REGULATIONS.
1. There is a Pattern and Sample Post to such colonies and foreign countries as
are marked in Table A. of Post Office Guide, with the letter "^ P*'; but it \n
restricted to bona fide trade patterns or samples of merchmidise** Goods sent. for
•ale, or in execution of an order (however small the quantity may be), or any
articles sent by one private individual to another which are not actually patterns or
samples, are not admissible.
2. Patterns or samples, when practicable, must be sent in covers open at the ends
and in such a manner as to be easy of examination. f But samples of seeds, drugs,
andsuchlike articles, which cannot be sent in covers of this kind (but such articles
only), may be enclosed in boxes, or in bags of linen or other *material fastened in
such a manner that they may be readily opened ; or, in the case of samples of
seeds, &c., in bags entirely closed, provided such closed bags* are transparent, so as
to enable the Officers of the Post Office readily to satisfy themselves as to the
nature of the contents.
. 3. There must be no writing or printing upon or in ai^y packet except the address
I of the person for whom it is intended, the address of the sender, a trade mark or
number, and the price of the articles.^ .
4. Packets containing samples or trade patterns above sixteen ozs. in weight, or
exceeding two feet in length, one foot in width, or one foot in depth (unless it be sent
to or from one of the Government Offices), or reasonably suspected to contain
articles likely to iigure the other portions of the mail, or the person of any officer or .
servant of the Post Office, may be refused. The limit of weight is not the same to
fill countries. For particulars see Table A. of Post Office Guide.
5. Packets containing seeds, not sent as samples, may be forwarded as inland
packets only : such packets must not, however, exceed eight ounces in weight, and
most be packed in the manner described in Regulation 2.
* As oonsiderable misunderstanding seems to prevail in reference to the articles that catt
be forwarded through the post as patterns or samples of merchandise, it is necessary to
"plain that the regulations an not intended 'to provide for the public a kind of parcel
Klirerj throughout the Colony (an idea which some persons seem to have formed), bat
ntnlj to enable businfss houses to have facilities for the transmission of samples, having,
n far as these houses are concerned, no intrinsic value beyond their use as samples. For
"^ purpose ott^ pattern, in most oases a small piece of an article is all that is required
^ be transmitted. The complete 'article having a value of its own, would not in such
«w come under the class of patterns or samples only. Packets open at the ends with
Mnple rates of poeta^ge containing any eompkU article, as a child's dress, a pair of stockings,
a clergyman's surplice, &c., will be charged on delivery with double the deficiency at the
Wfarrofe of postage.
t In order to secure tho return of pattern packets which cannot be delivered^the names
"y4 dddreases of the senders should be printed or written outside ; thus, " From
I Patterns or samples of merchandise for transmission by post within the Colony can be
■^CQjDpanied by a printed descriptive catalogue or printed advertisement from the senders,
T>to^lded the ends of the packet are left open fbr inspection of contents, and they are
otherwise posted fn accordance with the Pattern and Post Sample Regulations.
Both the book packet and the pattern sample postage rates will be chargeable on thia-
"•criptlon of matter, vis. :—

PART I.-POPULATION, IMMIGRATION, VITAL STATISTICS, &c.
Population. — The estimated population of the Colony on the 31st
December, 1875, was 606,652 persons ; that for the same time at the end of
the year 1876 was 629,776 persons, showing an increase of 23,124 souls, or
3 "81 per cent. The increase for the first six months of the year amoimted
to 10,514 persons, and for the remaining period of the year to 12,610
persons. Of the total population the number of males was 65,962 in excess
of females ; the percentage for the former being 55-24, and for the latter
44 76, a difference of 10*48 in favour of males. To every 1,000 persons
then there were 552 males and 448 females, which shows an increase of 2
males in the 1,000 on the previous year. For the first six months of the
year there were 11,335 births, and 17,588 persons who arrived in the
Colony by sea, a gross total of 28,923, from which must be deducted 6,170
deaths for the same period, and the departures by sea 12,239, in all 18,409,
which leaves a net increase of 10,514 persons. During the last six months
of the year the births numbered 11,963, and arrivals by sea 15,354, being a
total of 27,317 persons. The deaths for this period were 5,023, and
departures by sea 9,684, both together amounting to 14,707 persons. The
net increase then will be 12,610 persons. The total addition to our popu-
lation during the last ten years amounts to 182,456 persons, of which
number only 13,490, or about 7 J per cent., are shown toliave been immi-
grants who arrived in the Colony from the United Kingdom.
Mahbiaqes. — Of the total number (4,630) of marriages celebrated during
the year, there were 1,264 or 27*30 per cent, in Sydney, 463 or 10 per cent.
in the Suburbs, and 2,903 or 62 70 per cent, in the Country Districts. In
comparison with the previous year, there were more marriages in the City
and Suburbs, and fewer in the Country Districts. The ratio of marriages
for every 1,000 persons of estimated population in the middle of the year is,
for the City, 13 55 ; Suburbs, 6*26 ; and Country, 6*45. For the whole
Colony the ratio per 1,000 is 7 '51, the average of the previous nine years
heiag 78 1. With reference to the number of marriages celebrated by the
various denominations and by the Registrars, we mid that the Church of
England heads the list with 1,759 ; Roman Catholic, 921 ; Presbyterian,
761 ; Wesleyan, 487 ; CongregationaHst. 232 ; Primitive Methodist, 101 ;
Registrars, 275 ; the remaiipng denominations being under treble figures.
Those denominations which show an increase on the previous year are as
follows : — Church of England, 141 ; and Congregationalist, 46 ; Registrars*
Offices also show an increase of 25. The following denominations show a
decrease, viz. >- Roman Catholic, 32 ; Presbyterian, 145 ; Wesleyan, 15 ;

MOOKK'S AUSTRALIAN ALMANAC.
Primitive Methodist, 8. Of the total number of marriages then, the
Church of England celebrated 37' 97 per cent. ; Roman Catholic, 19*89 ;
Presbyterian, 16-44; Wesleyan, 10*52; Congregationalist, 5*01 ; Primitive
Methodifft, 2*18 ; and Registrars, 5*95.
Births — The total number of births registered during the year 1876 was
23,298, consisting of 11,791 males and 11,507 females, the former being 284-
in excess of the Utter. The percentage of males is 50*61, and of females
49*39. The increase in the number of bii-ths on the previous year is as
follows : — Males, 411 ; females, 359 ; in all, 770. The birth rate of the
colony per 1,000 of estimated population at the middle of the year was
37*75, being a slight decline on the previous year. The average for the
previous nine years was 39*58, so that the birtli rate of 1876 was nearly 2
per 1,000 lower than this average. Of the number of births registered in
the City, the percentage of males was 51 '18, and of females 48 82. In the
Suburl» female births were in excess of male, the percentage being 50*36
for the former, and 49*64 for the latter. The figures for the Country Dis-
tricts are, for males, 60.67 ; for females, 49*32. The City birth rate was
35*48, being 1*44 lower than the figures for the previous nine years*
average. In the Suburbs the average for the previous nine years was 44*52,
and the rate of the year, 41*39, showing a decline of 3*13. The rate for
the Country Districts was 37*62, which is lower by 1*78 than the average
of the nine previous years. Copaparing the birth rate per 1,000 of popula-
tion, of the three divisions with the rate of the previous year, we fmd the
City and Country were nearly stationary, while the Suburbs show an.
increase of 0*60.
Deaths — The total number of deaths recorded in the year 1876 was
11,193. In each of the quarters of the year the numbers were as foUows :
—March, 3,012; June, 3,158 ; September, 2,636 ; December, 2,387. Male
deaths numbered 6,50§, or 58*14 per cent. ; and females 4,685, or 41 *86 per
cent. — ^the former being 16*28 per cent, higher than the latter. Taking the
total number of deaths in the City, we find that the percentage of males is
52*91, and of females 47*09; in the Suburbs, males, 50*50 ; females,
49*50; in the Country, males 61*84; females, 38*16. The excess of male
over female deaths in the City is 5*82 per cent. ; in the Suburbs, 1 *00 per
cent. ; and in the Country, 23*68 per cent. The death rate per 1,000 of
estimated population of the Colony was 18*13, the previous year being
18* 12. The average rate for previous nine years was 15*18, so that the rate
of the year under report is 2*95 higher than that average. TRie City death
rate for the year was 26*70, which is lower than the figures of the previous
year by 3*06, but higher by 3*19 than the previous nine years' average.
The Suburbs show a rate of 22*81, which is only 0*34 lower than Sie
previous year, and 4*13 in excess of the average for the previous nine
years. In the Country districts the rate was 15-59, which is i)*70 over the
year preceding, and 2*67 higher than the average of the previous nine
years.
Immigration. — The number of Immigrants who arrived in the Colony
from the United Kingdom during the year 1876 was 2,113. Of this
number, 1,463 were introduced at the public expense, and 650 arrived by
their otsti means. These arrivals consisted of 1,597 adults and 516-

children*, tlie former class comprising 988 males and 609 females, and the
latter 280 males and 236 females. About 75 per cent, of the immigrants
at the public expense were Protestants, and the remainder Eoman
Catholics. With regard to their nationality, we find that 57*48 per cent,
were from England and Wales, 12 85 per cent, from Scotland, 27*83 per
cent, from Ireland, and 1*84 per cent, from other countries.
Lunatic and Invalid Establishments. — The total number of patients
admitted into the Hospital for the Insane at GladesviUe during the year
1876 was 340, of which number there were 279 new admissions, and 61
are shown to be re-admissions. There were 982 patients under treatment
during the year, consisting of 566 males and 416 females The average num<
ber of residents was 610, made up of 342 males and 268 females. The percent-
age of recoveries on admissions was 44 11, that for males being 39*90, and for
females 50*36. The figures for those relieved during the year are 9"41 per
cent. ; males 6*89, and females 13*13. The deaths were 7*05 per cent, on
the average number of residents. The Asylum for Free Lunatics at Parra-
matta admitted 88 patients, all males, and ' fresh cases. The number of
cases under care consisted of 582 males, and 206 females, in all 788. The
average number of residents during the year was 733, males 532, and
females 20l- There were 3*40 per cent, of patients admitted durinc the
year who recovered, and 2*27 were relieved. The deaths in this establish-
ment were 6 per cent, on the average number of residents. In the Criminal
Lunatic Asylum at Parramatta we find that the total number of patients
under care was 82, viz : — 70 males and 12 females, and the average number
of residents was 69. The recoveries on the admissions of the year were
44*44 per cent., and the death rate was 5*79. The number of patients
under care in the Asylum for Imbeciles at Newcastle was 203, and the

total number of patients imder treatment in lunatic and invalid establish-
ments during the year 1876 was 2,202, showing an increase of 168 on the
returns for the previous year. The ratio per 1,000 of estimated population
was 3 56, as against 3 42 in the previous year. The cost to the Govern-
ment of maintaining these establishments was £49,610, less the sum of
£L863 received from friends and relations of patients for their maintenance
and paid into the Treasury.
Hospitals. — The Returns for the Hospitals of the Colony show a total of
5,833 admissions for the year 1876, being an increase of 267 on the year
preceding. This increase arises chiefly from country hospitals, as the
figures for the Sydney Infirmary are 150 below those for the year 1875.
There vere 730 deaths in hospitals during the year, of which number 304
occurred in the Sydney Infirmary. The- number of deaths in hospitals
amount to about 12^ per cent, of admissions, and the rate for the %dney
Infirmary was 13*21. Those who received out-door relief numbered 9,40/
persons, of whom 6,090 appear on the return from the Sydney Infirmary,
and 2,600 from St. "Vincent's Hospital, The total amount of receipts on
behalf of hospitals was £43,885, of which sum £22,238 was supplied by the
Oovemment and the balance from voluntary contributions. More than
one-half of the total sum expended by the Government was assigned to the

1876 amounted to £13,672,776, and of Exports to £13,003.941, the excess of
the former over the latter being £668,835. Comparing these figures with
those for the previous year, we find an increase of £182,576 in Imports, and
a decrease of £667,639 in Exports. The rate per head of Imports on
estimated mean population was £22 2s. 4d , and of Exports £21 Os 8d.
Imports— Imports for the year from the United Kingdom are valuM at
£5,763,533, being a decrease of £298,693 on the previous year. The valne
of Imports from British Colonie* amounted to £6,957,463," which is an
addition of £456,393 to the figures of the previous year. Imports from
Australian Colonies wete as follows: — Victoria — seaward, d^l,139,897;
overland, £1,246,880,— making a total of £2,386,777. South AmtraHa-^

value of Exports to AustrcUian Colonies was as follows : — ^Victoria — seaward,
£748,871 ; overland, £3,294,795,— making a total of £4,043,666, which is
leas by £226,104 than the figures for the previous year. The large amount
in the value of our Export trade to Victoria is chiefly due to the quantity
of Wool forwarded by our flock-masters through tiiat Colony to Hobson's
Bay for shipment to foreign markets. The value of this particular article
of trade, so exported for the year 1876, amounted to £2,259,337. The

Australian Colonies were of the value of £5,835,928, which sum is £293,792
in excess of Imports from those Colonies. Exports to other British Colonies

There were 8 mills in which water was used as a motive power. Wind
was used in 2 mills, and there were 4 in which horse power was employed.
The number of pairs of stones in operation was 355. These fibres are
nearly the same as those for the previous year. The return for Manufac-

miscellaneous, 542.
. Woollens. — The quantity of Cloth and Tweed turned out from the
\YooUen Manufactories of the Colony during the year 1876 was 395,704
yards, the produce of 8 mills. The following is a comparison of the

cwt. of candles.
Tobacco — The manufacture of Tobacco was carried on in 20t establish-
ments, which produced 13,740 cwt. The decennial return shows an increase
in the quantity produced in the last five years over the first five years of
24,643 cwt.
Sugar— There were 70 mills for the manufacture of Sugar. Of this
number, 26t are worked by steam, representing an ag^egate of 302 horse
power, and 44§ used horse power. The quantity of Sugar produced was
93,960 cwt. This is exclusive of one mill of 20 horse power, from which
no return could be obtained. The quantity of Molasses produced was •
55,660 gallons and 1,362 tons. The weight of cane crushed is not obtain-
able ; mill owners, and especially the Colonial Sugar Company, which is
the largest proprietary of sugar mills in the Colony, refusing to divulge
this information.

Distilleries. — From the decennial return of Colonial Distilled Spirits^
it will be seen that there were 218,308 gallons of proof spirit produced,
from 43,082 cWt. of molasses. In the year 1867, which was the first year
of the decade, the production amounted to 20,903 gallons, so that the
increase on this quantity in the last year was 197,405 gallons.

PART v.— PRODJJCTION.
Gold. — The general total value of Gold received into the Mint by escort,
from the several gold fields of the Colony, during the year 1876, amounted
in value to £479,133. As compared with the previous ^ear, we find a falling
a-^ay to the amount of £288,696. The Western District shows the largest
production, which was valued at £357,496, which amount is below th6
ngures of the previous year by £226,396. From the Southern Gold Field
the produce was valued at £lo4,743. Here again we notice a decrease of
£56,033. The Northern Gold Field supplied gold to the value of £16,894,
which is less in amount by £6,267 than the figures of the previous year.
The greatest quantity of Gold received by escort into the Mint in any one
year during the decade was in the year 1872, when the value amounted to
£1,513,186, since which there has been a large yearly decrease.
Coal. — The number of Coal Mines in work during the year was 25,*
from which 1,319,918 tons were raided, of the value of £803,300. These
figures show a decrease on the pi*evious year in quantity of 9,811 tons, and
in value of £16,129. The value of Coal produced in the district of New-
castle for the year was £628.260, or nearly 78 per cent, of the whole. The
total V^alue of Coal raised during the first -five years of the decade was
£1,739,786, and for the second five years, £3,474,900.
Shale. — The quantity of Shale raised during the year amounted to
15,998 tons, valued at £47,994, against 6,197 tons, of £15,500 value, in 1875
— ^being an increase of 9,801 tons in quantity, and £32, 494. in value.
Copper Ore and Copper. — There were 5,225 tons of Copper Ore and
Coi)per raised and produced during the year, of the value of £58,271. Here

and 125,874.
Tin Ore and Tin. — Tlie weight of Tin Ore and Tin raised and produced
during the year was 7,706 tons, valued at £252,713, showing an increase- of

LjrvE Stock. — The returns of Live Stock for the year ended 31st March,
1877, show that the general total of all kinds amounted to 28,174,708, owned
by 33,H80 persons. The number of Borsea was 366,703, showing an increase
on the previous year of 9,007. Homed Cattle numbered 3,131,013, which
figures are less by 3,073 than those of the previous year. The number of
Sheep had increased from 24,382,636 to 24,£>03,388, being an addition of
120,852 to our flocks. From the decennial return of Live Stock it will be
seen that during the last five years of the decade the number of Horses has
been yearly increasing. Homed Cattle also show an increase each year,
with the exception of the year under consideration. Comparing the number
of Sheep in the year 1873 with the number in the year 1876, we find an
increase of 6,943,340.
* There were also 11 not at work.

Agbiculturb.— The Agricultural Returns for the year ended Slat March,
187T, show that the number of occupiers of land, exclusive of those for
pastoral purposes, was 39,639, being an increase of 2,655 on the previous
year. The extent of holdings comprised an area of 18,210,796 acres, as
gainst 13,525,497 acres in the previous jeax. The area of land in cultiva-
tion was 513,840 acres, making an addition of 62,702 acres to the area of the
previous year. A large addition is to be noticed in the extent of land
enclosed but not in cultii?ation. The area had increased from 7,771,068
acres to 11,020,968 acres. Unenclosed land occupied an area of 6,675,987
acres, being an advance on the previous year of 1,372,698 acres.

acres, which is in excess of the previous year's area by 11,999 acres. The
quantity of wheat grown was 2,391,979 bushels, which gives an average of
16^ bushels to the acre. Maize occupied an area of 116,364 acres, which
. produced 3,879,637 bushels, the average per acre being over 33 bushels.
There appears a small decrease in the number of acred used for the growth
of maize, but an increase in the yield. The area of land used for Barley
was 5,662 acres, and the produce amounted to 134,158 bushels, which gives
an average of about 23^ bushels per acre. The increase in area used for the
growth of this cereal was 845 'acres, and there is a^ addition of 35,582
bushels in production. Oats show an area of 21,828 acres, and a yield of
461,916 bushels, which is an average of a little over 21 bushels to the acre.
Here also there is a sHaall increase m both area and production.
PcTATOES. —This crop covered an area of 14,171 acres, which produced
42,938 tons. The average per acre was a little Over 3 tons. Here we find
an excess in area of 366 acres, and of 1,735 tons.
Sugar-cane. — The number of acres used for the growth of sugar-cane was
6,765, of which 3,524 were productive.
Hay. — The area laid down for hay in sown grasses, oats, wheat, and
barley, was 11 1,946 acres, which gave a yield of 159,660 tons. As compared
with the previous year there was an increase of 34,821 acres in extent of
area, and of 70,693 tons in the weight of the crop.
Vines. — The quantity of land under the cultivation of the \'ine was 4,467
acres, which is within an acre the same as the area of the previous year.
The vintage gave 799,709 gallons of wine, and 2,968 gallons of brandy.
Here we find a decrease in the quantity of wine produced of 32,040 gallons,
and a smaU increase in brandy. There were also 917 acres set apart foi*
fruit for the useof the table.
Green Food for Cattle. — The number of acres appropriated for green
food for cattle amounted to 61,516, which shows the very large increase of
10,882 acres.
Gardens and Orchards. — Gardens and orchards occupied a space of
20,453 acres, as against 19,407 acres in the previous year. Taking these
statistics on the productions of the Colony, as a whole, in comparison with
the previous year, they must be considered as most satisfactory.

LiEi^ ON Wool. — There were 920 liens on wool registered during the

BOURKB
This District embraces the eaatern portion of the pastoral district of Albert, the western
and aouthero portions of Warrego. and thH northern portion of Wellington. Owing to
the absence of mountains in these p^rts of tht^ interior, the want of rain is freqaently felt
seyerely, which renders th** district only fit for pastoral purposes; neyertheless, altbongii
it was long regarded as in the unknown interior, it is now becoming rtpidlj populate,
and the rKSources developed to such an extent as to lead to the conclusion that a lai^
and flonrishin ir population will, ere long, find happy homes on the banks of the Darling.
This is more likely to be the case now, a" within the last few years the district has been
discoverKl to be rich in metals. Copper has been found of a remarkably rich character,
and in great abundance, and the quartz reefd, which are visible in ihany parts of the dis-
trict, hare been found to contain gold. Population — 1,092 males, 416 females ; total, 1,508.

«>a6t about fifty miles, covering the 30 par. of S. lat., and between the point opposite the
Solitary Islands and the range dividing the watezs of the Clarence and Richmond Rivers.
Besides being a fine pastoral country, it is admirably adapted for agricultural pursuits and
the cnlUvation of some of the staple productions of tropical cl< mates, and is also rich in
minerals. Tin has recently been discovered about the southern heads of the Clarence
patera. A coal-field has been opened near Maclean, and a payable gold-field discovered in
the direction of Woombah. The yearly trade of the district requires over 100' voyages by
steam vessels to Sydney, and 39 sailing vessels and steamers to and from Melbourne and
neighbouring oolonies, and nine steamers on the river used as passage boats. The Colonial
Sugar Company has mills at Southgate, Chatswortb Island, ai\d Harwood Islafad, and at
uUe latter pla6e there is an extensive diistiUery. The climate is perhaps the most humid in
Jew South Wales. Population— 4,986 males, 3,979 fbmales ; total, 8,966. Public-houses,
^> This district, with the Richmond River and Tweed River, forms the Clarence electorate.
Population— 7,8n males, 6,949 females ; total, 13,760, of whom 3,747 are males over 21
Registered voters, 4,399.

H^ds ; has steam communication with Sydney four times a week, and bids fair to rival the
other ports on the eastern coast of Australia. It is the principal port north of the Hunter.
Population, 3,360.

amongst the most desirable spots on the eastern coast for the cultivation ot the sugar
cane. Messrs. Pringle and Shankey have erected a steam sugar mill which turns out
10 tons of sugar per week ; they crush the cane for the farmers, and give the farmers half
