The New 'York papers tell us that the annexation fever is spreading. Not content with buying Alaska and St. Thomas, with being in treaty for San Domingo and keep ing a watch on Cuba, there are adventurous Americans who think the Sandwich Islands would be a useful acquisition to the States, and this belief is not confined to Americans, for Mr. Harris, the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Relations in the Sandwich Islands, was so favour. ably impressed with the working of Republican institutions while visiting the United States that he desires annexation. The advantages of this addition to the already enormous territory of the United States would, in the opinion of the New York press, be mutual. The United States would secure an excellent halfway stopping place on the road to China and Japan, and the increase of trade would prove an immense advantage to the islanders and to the whaling ships that make their ren dezvous there. "The islands once Amciicanised would be greatly benefited by the commercial results, which would be sure to follow." As American trade and commerce is not just now in the most flourishing condition, there is room for some diver gence of opinion on this point, and it is not surprising hear that the King is averse from the scheme, and Mince Lunallo, his prospective successor, is strongly opposed to it. The royal family of the Sandwich Islands has always been more inclined to look to this country than to America for protection, and so the Foreign Minister's views are not likely to find favour at court.

The Bombay Gazette states that the Duke of Edinburgh has had his first spear, and, notwithstanding a fall or two, appears none the worse for his acquaintance with the pigs. The pig-sticking came off in the Moorshedabad district on the Bth of January. His Royal Highness was mounted on an Arab. The first boar was transfixed by Colonel Probyn's long Bombay spear, three feet of which appeared on his other side. Before even ing, after more than one run in the long grass, two more good boars fell, one to the spear of Major Trevor, and the third to that of his Royal Highness the Duke. The ground, though perfectly level, was somewhat treacherous, as the long grass concealed certain elevations and blind ditches, in which more than one rider came to grief. Several falls occurred—his Royal Highness had two—but no one was hurt. On the 12th of January the royal party - started for Serajore, to engage in tiger shooting.- His Royal Highness had a good shot at the first tigress, and the day's sport amply compensated for the fatigues which were endured. The cold weather is not the time for tiger shooting as the jungle grass is too rank, and the tiger often escapes into the thick jungle and is lost. It was interesting to see the crowds of people who turned out of every village or group of huts where the Duke of Edinburgh passed. All seem to know of his arrival and to be anxious to display their loyalty. Preparations were making in Madras and Bombay for his Royal Highness's reception. Madras proposed having two balls, and the native community was organising a grand nautch, such as Madras alone could exhibit. EXPORT DITTIES ON RICE IN INDIA. The merchants of Calcutta were not satisfied with the reply of the Government of India concerning the abolition of the export duty on rice. They were told that the levy might probably be removed at the end of the next financial year. The Chamber of Commerce has pointed out that this state of uncertainty will make shippers hold back and it may therefore be found that the refusal of Govern • ment to give now the hoped-for relief, based as that refusal is solely on financial reasons, has after all been attended with little advantage to the revenue of the State, although with " material inconvenience " to all interested in the trade. A request has therefore been made that should these duties be remitted after April next, the remission may have retrospective effect, and that a declaration to that effect be issued. SILK CULTIVATION IN INDIA. The Government of Madras have determined to extend encouragement to the silk cultivation in Southern India. They have issued a circular to collectors, calling upon them to report any improvements which may have takenplacein the production of silk in their various districts. The collectors of Corinbatore and Salem are to be specially consulted as to the possibility of inducing the ryots in the more elevated portions of their districts, which border on Mysore, to adopt mulberry cultivation on an extended scale, and acquire the art of rearing silk worms. The question of establishing a silk worm breeding establishment under the direct manage ment of Government officials, is also mentioned in the reports. TRADE OF CALCUTTA. The Times of India says that there are significant symp soms of the waning trade of Calcutta. It is really a seri ous thing for the merchants that not even the heavy freights ruling there should be sufficient to attract an adequate amount of tonnage. Vessels can afford to go to other ports with cargoes atlowrates,but they are loth to have anything to say at Calcutta. The Hooghly is far too heavily weighted in the race ; and the vested interests had better see to this in time. The present is the com mencement of a new era in Eastern commerce ; and it behoves Calcutta to be up and doing, lest the new trade routes that must soon form, lead away from, instead of towavls. the capital. A NEW INDIAN PORT. Before long there will be a new Indian port, that of Morrell-gunge, 150 miles east of Calcutta, situated in the Bay of Bengal. It is the outlet of the rice-producing districts, easily approached, and has a good anchorage for ships of large burden. It has been visited by a party from Calcutta, representing commercial interests, who considered its future prosperity undoubted. Morrell gunge will also serve as a port in which a vessel can run when there is no time to make for Calcutta or Chittagong. It is situated in the centre of the rice district, in which the maximum consumption of salt takes place, so that ships bringing out Liverpool salt are sure, not only of a ready disposal of their freight. but of a nrofitable return cargo in rice. AFFAIRS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA. The Inquirer, a Perth journal, gives an account of the state of affairs in the colony of Western Australia. The year just past has been singularly un favourable, but fortunately there seems to be a decided improvement. The Wellington, Nelson, and Murray Agricultural Society observes, in its annual report, that the year has been one of great and unusual trial to all parts of the colony. First in the list of troubles comes the red rust which, at the time of their last report, had only just made its appearance. It spread with such rapidity that the late sown wheat scarcely repaid the trouble of harvesting and thrashing, while in the parts most lightly affected little more than half a crop was yielded. The Govern ment returns shew that while the estimated produce was expected to reach 28,000 bushels, the actual yield was not more than 16,000. At the time when the report was drawn up (in December last) the wheat crop promised better than it had done for several years, and there were no authenticated cases of rust. The flockmaster has had no less reason to complain of the past year than the husbandman. The re turns made under the scab ordinance to the Government show an actual decrease in numbers of 2,451. The loss of lambs in consequence of the want of food was very serious, and the number reared do not make up for deaths and sales. The wool is, however, superior to last season's. Amongst the favourable items of intelligence is the extension of the timber trade. A large quantity of railway sleepers has been exported to India, indeed, the demand for these has been so great that contractors have been compelled to decline orders in consequence of the limited supply of labour. The sandalwood trade has alto developed considerably, and a quantity of this wood has been cut near the Arthur river. The improvement of the roads and the encouragement of immigration are, in the opinion of the Agricultural Society, two subjects of pres sing importance. SANITARY LEGISLATION AT SEA. The necessity for improved sanitary legislation with respect to vessels leaving India with coolies is plainly shewn by the story of a recent voyage. Four hundred and fifty-eight coolies were shipped at Calcutta for Demerara, fifty of whom were, it is said, in a bad state of health at starting. Soon after they left Calcutta disease broke out amongst them, and as the vegetables supplied proved to be rotten, and the limejuiee bad, the mortality speedily became very great. Sixty deaths oc curred before the ship reached St. Helena, and ninety four of the unfortunate passengers never reached their journey's end. No certified lime-juice, it appears, can be obtained at Calcutta, or at any other port east of the Cape of Good Hope; so that there is little probability of ships trading between colonial ports having a proper supply of what is absolutely indispensable to the heath and well being of their crews and passengers. lADVERTISEMENT.
