An Englishman's opinion of the Colon* ies is not very bigh, and is shown in very unexpected ways. In a description i of an invention for preventing burglaries, the European Mail says-. — ' The gentlemen of England who live at home al ease ' are apt to think that the dangers 'hey run from the attacks of house* breakers »re of a very serious character; yet, compared with the perils engendered by a greater slate of lawlessness and less perfect police supervision existing in ninny of the countries served by our organisation they sink into insignificance, and tbe probability is that the burglar alarm will be more highly appreciated in the Indies and the Colonies, in South America and , Central, Africa, than in this, country !.'
