To this triad belongs metallic substance and pretious stones and all other minerals among fish the few stationary kinds, such as pearl and other oysters, and in general shell fish. Wild quadrupeds valuable for their their skins, furs or other : birds valuable for their feathers but not valuable enough to be bred.
One user and but one class of articles remains, in
respect of which the impossibility of advantage on the
part of New South Wales as compared with other
Colonies and distant dependencies is not demonstrated: —
nor to confess the truth demonstrable. In this class
are comprised all such articles as are not being not susceptible
of natural increase, propagation by the care or art of man may happen to have been repeated
in this spot by the hand of nature. + + This class may again be again be distinguished into two divisions: the first former consisting of such articles, if any such exist, as being reported in that country are not so reported in any other: the latter, of such if any such there be, as may happen to have been reported there in such a manner. reported either salaciously,
or in such manner as to be obtainable from
them with a degree of comparative relative facility, sufficient
to make up for its many such numerous and important
disadvantages as have been passed already noticed pointed out. under review.

Of the former class it neither is nor ever will be
demonstrated Of the non-existence of any peculiar article of the
former division, the impossibility neither has nor is as yet
demonstrated, nor to confess the truth is in any danger of being
so .. But this property is not peculiar belong exclusively to this particular
Country: it belongs alike in every to every other: nor, whatever will it be easy to show,
in whatever country the meridian to be reckoned from be placed,
be the standard of reference that whatever be the country reckoned from, upon what principle the probability of any such
treasure-trove or should in any degree be measured by distance. (a)

Note (a) +
(a) A new metal New South Wales was supposed at one time to contain
have given birth to a new metal; and the honour of
giving a name to this new treasure was bestowed on
the new-made Peer, (requiescat in pace!) to whom the new Colony was in
debt for auspices. But no sooner was it put to be the
test, that the existence of this unexpected and supposed new production of the Colony one metal was found
to be as ideal, as all the advantages every advantage that had ever been
expected from it. Mean time In the same space of time the old world has been
supplying us with these several new metals, besides new
earths.
