THE REPORTED DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN NEW GUINEA. The reported discovery of gold in New Guinea will, no doubt, serve to revive the agitation which a short tune ago arose in our Australian colonies in favour of the annexation of that island. It by no means follows from the presence of the precious metal in the rivers, that New Guinea is to prove another California; but such a result is far from being impossible. In that case there would be a rush to the new diggings from all parts of the world. A stream of emigrants is already pouring into Australia from the United States, and we may be sare that in a mar- vellously short period the gold fields of New Guinea would be populated by as heterogeneous a man of people from the four quarters of the world as could well be imagined. But when such gatherings take place in an uncivilised territory, and especially in the presence of savages, the establishment of a firm and responsible authority, emanating from without, is an absolute necessity. Annexation by one of the maritime Powers would therefore be the necessary consequence of the disoovery of gold in any con- siderable quantities in New Guinea, and a glance at its geographical position will beq uite sufficient toshow that that maritime Power must be Great Britain, and none other. There will probably not be wanting English- men to raise a cry against such an aggression;" others we know have an insatiable appetite for annexa- tion. Like the Indians of the Orinoco, they have ever a craving for earth. The majority of the nation, we believe, views with disquietude any extension of our Imperial responsibilities, but, if the necessity should arise, even were it nearer home than New Guinea, would not hesitate to accept the onus of whatever measures might be conducive to the safety and honour of their country. -u
