''30th August, A.i. 1870." His Excellency the GoVbbnob road the following Mr. President and Gentleman. I receive with great gratification the address which you havo presented to me on Denair ox tne Agricultural society ox now ooutn waies on the ODcnimr of this Intercolonial Exhibition, in oom- memoratton of the Centenary of the landing upon the shores ox Australia oi tne groat navigator uaptainvoox. I join with you in acknowledging the readiness with which the other colonies of the Australian group have responded to your invitation to unite with you in cele brating that interesting event and in the hope that their menuiyana nonouraDie nvairy witn-new ooutn -waies may bo the means of obtaining greater exoellenoe in colonial productions, as well as of cementing those feelings of friendship and loyalty which should subsist between neighbouring communities speaking the same language, ana living under the rule of the same Sovereign Her luunt uiwiuiu juitty Kueeu icivna.
I concur with you that this Exhibition will show how wonderful has been the progress of colonisation in Australia since the Tear 1788. when the first Governor. Cantata Phillip, arrived. I believe that for upwards of 20 years the coiony maue uttio or no aavancoment, ana tnat tnepro-' gross, of which we are now enjoying the fruits, has been made since the assumption of the Government by General Macquarie in 1810. At that time the Australian settlement, with the exception of the small dependency then known as Van Dlemcn's Land, whioh now constitutes the colony of Tasmania, consisted of little more than the occupation of tho present county of Cumberland, and part ef that of Camden.
In 18-10, a now era commenced which led to rapid strides in pastoral, agricultural, ana commercial, togetner witn other industrial pursuits, and the gold discovery in 1861 caused an advance remarkablo than could have boon anticipated by tho moat sanguine mind. The production of gold in Australia from its first discovery has exceeded in value one. hundred and eighty millions sterling. On the 28th January, 1788, the first settlers 1030 In number landed at the head of Sydney Cove; and Governor Phillip proclaimed the limits of the now colony to bo on the east, the ocean, from South Cape, in 43-40 south latitude, to Cape York, fa 10-42 south latitude; on the west, the 136' of east longitude; on tho north and nuuiu, uie ocean. "In 1803 Tasmania was settled, and Lioutenant-Govemor Collins assumed the Government on 16th February, 1801.
South Australia, about half of whose geographical limits were included in tho original colony, was settled in 1836. Victoria was separated from New South Wales in 1861, and Queensland In 1869. The limits of New South Wales aftor these successive subdivisions still comprise an area of 207,000,000 acres. The statistics ot New South Wales, as it now exists, would give a very inadequate idea of the results achieved within the boundaries of the original colony in 1788, in the short space of eighty-two years. It is proper to include in such a statement a statistical estimau of the present position of all the oolonios embraced within the original limits of the parent colony, and if we do so, we shall now find an aggregate of population approaching two millions, of-' revenue seven millions, and art aggregate and.
export trade of. fifty mil-liana sterling. In 1796 there wore in the whole of Australia but 67 horses, 237 domesticated cattle, and 1631 sheep; in 1870, I believe I am correct in saying the horses number half a million, the homed cattle ourmil-lionsj and the sheop forty milJians. Our coal fields, expending as they do over a vast territory, are of Inestimable value, and I trust, tend to develop great manufacturing industries, and largely promote, the extension, of oonuaeroo and the general prosperity of the people. -ii -iwh' i'i i f- "If evidence were waited of the vast progress the colony has made, it is is the grand soene which, we now witness.
We nre assembled in a building of vast proportions, containing an exhibition of the arts, sclenoes, manufactures, aid- other eloments of' wealth- -and proofs of social To those who have planned and carried out with great rapidity under peculiar diffi-cuitifls the great object designed, the highest credit is due. -c Permit me to offer my -congratulation to the gentlemen who have established this society, to the Mayor and Corporation Of the oity of Sydney, ana to tho enterprising contractor, Mr. Young, on tho successful result of this groat and important undertaking.

Here are to be found every description of maohinory used for tillage in this part of the world, and yeetorday this part of the Exhibition was the scene of oonsidorable animation. Two or three portable steam engines were on the ground, and supplied the motive power to the various pieces of niochanism grouped around, them.

Great credit is also due to Mr, G. E. Dal-rymplo, of Brisbane, for exhibiting Thomson's road traction-engine Pionoor." Tho engine is provided with indiarubber wheel-tiros, and is said to be admirably adapted for haulage on common roads. It is noroinally of 8-horse power, and woighs six and a-half tons.
Tho engine was under steam yesterday, and its movoment was regarded with much interest by tho spectators. Prior to this Exhibition a road traction-engine of this description has not been seen in the oolony, and as a matter of oourse the first appearance of tho new arrival excited a good deal of curiosity. Much cannot be said of the beauty of its external appearance, but if the reports which have reached rue colony ox its penormances are to do oreaitea, Thomson's patent road steamer is the most use ful as well as the newest traotisn-engine of modern times. Professor Archer, at a recent meeting ox tne Dnusn Association, saia une ox iur. inomson a six-horse power road-steamers has boon working regularly for tho lastthreo months and a half between Aberdeen and the Kettock Flour Mills.
It runs four times daily through the town of Aberdeen on its way to and from the mills. The distance each way is three and a half miles. For one-half of this road, which is narrow, crooked, and excessively greasy. in bad weather, tho gradients vary from 1 in 4 to I in 7f." The duty of the road-steamer, whose own weight, including coal and water, is barely six tons, is to take a load of 10 tons up the acclivity, which it does with the most perfect ease. The consumption of coal, in-cludlnir.
theirettinfirun of steam in the morntrur. the four journeys, and three hours for loading and unloading, during nuiui ikoui Aupi. up, a quiuiw vi a vuu per aay. All tho working parts ox the engine have stood well, and seem as if they would last long enough. The toothed wheels show no appearance whatever of wear.
The weather was so bad that I made no notes of time, or of coai Dumou. ine perxormanoe was perteot, rne durability of the indiarubber. tiros surpassss all expectation. No wear whatever is perceptible in their surface. One ot tho road-steamers was harnessed to four huge wagi filled with nifi iron waonrona and losd tnrathar wolcrl 34 tons-rwhich it drew without an effort or any stoppage from the foot to the top of Granton Road a distance of a quarter of an mUo, with inclines of, from 1 la io to i a.
Arrived at tne top, it turned with its train in the road itself, and ran hank trt ih tjirl ing-point. It may be pointed out that the drawing of 34 tons, besides the engine's own weight, up in 20, is oqual to drawing 120 tons on a level road." At a recent meeting of the Royal Agricultural 8ociety, two of Fowler's double-furrow ploughs -wore -attached to Thomson's road steamer Pioneer," which is now exhibited try Mr. Dalrymple, and with an eager throng of spectators, opmposcd of agriculturists and engineers, running alonar on either side, it commenced work. On it went, mnHng four straight, deep, wido furrows. more perfect could bo With Fowler's ingenious ploughs, when the handle is once set, no guidance is needed, and so four furrows were thrown simultaneously without a hand being put to the plough.

Theploughsweresetasdeepaspossible; and the work done was quite first-rate. The contrast between the road-steamer and the plough-horses was most, remarkable. Whilst three horses were painfully struggling along with one double furrow-plough through the exceedingly hard, dry, stiff soil, it was drawing its two double-furrow ploughs with such facility that it was evident there was an immense supply of power-to spare, and that It could have taken uuuiuer coupie ox aouDie-xurrow piougns Dehtna it indeed, th furnace door had to be kept open the whole time.

and a nnmeroos and brilliant company assembled at noon to take part in the ceremony intended to celobrate tlw centonary of Captain Cook's landing on these shores, and 'afford, some indication of the wonderful program tnado by Australia during the first hundred years of its existence as a portion of the British Empire. A more appropriate place could not have been selected for such a i .1 11 lj -M t. purpose man oyuuuy, ine oapini ui mw viunai, Australian sistorhood, and whioh, If not the "fastest" and most solf-asaortlng, may yet claim to be tho most highly favoured and stable of tho group. Among the crowd wore, numbers' from remote parts of New South Affales, and, mnnv from distant oolonios. Flags, of all nations floated in too brcozo the park which bears the name of Prinoo, Alfred was partially covered witn mscmnory 01 we most approved coostruction stock of the best breeds, produce in greatvariety and of choice quality, shrubs and flowers of rare beauty, ana rnanuiacturea aruweo ox vwwuo while the building challenged general admiration, not only on account of its' interier' arrangements, but also as a splendid commeuiorAHvo monument, affording ovidonoe alike of architectural taste, mechanical and public Spirit.
Although heavy masses of ominous clouds skirted the horizon in tho morning, there was a blue sky overneaa The bright raya of the sun gladdened the hearts of th visitors, and gave promise of more genial weather. At an early hour the city presented a' gay appearance' Shons were closed; Flags were hoisted. Crowds of well- dressed neonlo moved towards the Park. Omnibuses, cabs, and oarriagos filled the roads leading to tho Exhibition, and the officers in charge of the Park gates had a difficult task. By noon fire or six thousand poople were admitted.
At -eleven o'clock the lady visitors begun to take thoir places in tho space of the building allotted to them at the northern end, from the fountain to the dais, and also in the gallery. Gentlemen who had cards of entree to the space in front of the dls also- began to assemble shortly after 11. Subse- quontly a number of other gontlemon were admitted, and filled up the remainder of the available space. Tho Highland Brigade mustered in front of the Hydo Psrk Barracks, at ten o'clock, under the command of Captain Thomson, and proceeded downCastlereagh-street to tli Exhibition, followed by a large number of people. Upon arriving at the front of the building, the mon fell into position as a guard of honour to receive his Excellency the Governor.
At twelve o'clock, his Excellency tho Governor and the Conntcsa of Belmore, arrived at the Exhibition, and woro received by tho Ceremonial Committee. Belmore was conducted by Sir William Maoarthur to a seat on tho dais.

John Hay, MX.C, Mr.
Howard Reed, chairman of the Exhibition Committee; Mr. J. J. Calvert, Mr, Hugh Kennedy, and, Professor Thomson, of the Sydney University. Tho appearance of the interior of the building at this time will long be remembered by witnessed it.
From end to end the Exhibition was thronged with specta torsthe crowd being most 01150 in those places from' which a better view could be obtained of the ceremony. There was. a little too much crowding near the dais, but that under the oirc*mstances, exousable. The whole Bpaeo in fact was closely packed from the northern end to the unsightly pagoda at the southern entranoe.
