In announcing the arrangements for another season, the Director of her Alaje-ty's Theatre cannot but refer, with sin cere gratitude, to the success whi c h att en d e d his efforts, un der very trying circumstances, in the season of 1856. Dramatic Opera, which in every foreign State is fostered by Government aid, is, in this country, denied the support which is extended to other departments of art; and it is to the patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round the establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of a noble lyrical institution, which no unsupported individual efforts could maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown. In acknowledging the munificent assistance which enabled him to conquer the unprecedented difficulties of last year, the Director cannot sufficiently express his grateful appreciation of tbo delicacy with which it was bestowed. Support was freely and nobly accorded for the sole purpose of insuring the prosperity of the institution, and the counsel which added to its value was never accompanied by a word to shackle the dis :retion or impair the authority of the direction. To this the success of the past season is greatly owing ; and from the generous confidence w.th which the subscribers - have renewed their subscriptions for the present year, without awai' ing the publication of the annual programme, the Director derives the assurance that he has not altogether disappointed the patrons of the theatre, and that he may rely on the continu ance of the cordial encouragement by which he has been hitherto upheld, and under which it is hoped still higher triumphs may be achieved than were immediately attainable on the restoration of the'establishment. .

Pi ivate Boxes and Stalls may be secured, without extra charge, at the Box-office, Poly4raphic-hall, King William-street, Charing-cross. The hall has been entirely redecorated. The enthusiasm which welcomed the re-opening of her Ma jesty's Theatre was not confined to the subscribers. The hearty interest and genuine appreciation displayed by the audiences who thronged the house from the first night to the closin g farewell demand the warmest thanks of the Director, which he will endeavour practically to express by renewed efforts in the service of the public. The Director is most anxious to acknowledge how much he is indebted to Maddle Piccolomini and all the artistes whose talents contributed to the success of last year, not merely far those efforts of genius which won the sympathy and admira tion of the subscribers and the public, but for that high artistic feeling and honourable fidelity which secured the audience from disappointment, and enabled the Direction to produce the entertainments promised for each evening with out a single change of performance—a fact without precedent In Operatic history. The advantages peculiar to her Majesty's Theatre—its cen tral position, and associations now more than a century old —give to it a natural pre-eminence of which no occasional circumstances can ever permanently deprive it. These ad vantages will be turned to account by a Company combining the prestige of acknowledged genius with the attraction of new candidates for the highest rank of their profession. Those who last year won favour at the hands of strangers will re appear to claim the cordial recognition which an English audience never refuses to established favourites ; and the direction has been further strengthened by an accession of rew aspirants of the highest order, whose merits are already acknowledged on the stages of Italy, and who only await the verdict of the subscribers and frequenters of her Majesty's Theatre to confirm their fikme. - Although, in an Establishment especially devoted to Italian Opera, the compositions of Italy will naturally predominate, the sems of other schools will not be neglected. Ballet will continue to be supported by the most famous of established Artistes and the most premising of those who are ambitions of the same distinction. It is hoped that the organisation of every department will prove completely worthy of that state of renewed prosperity to which her Majesty's Theatre has now attained. - The following are the arrangements already completed : OPERA.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and wbo are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men ahould know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil d its consequences may be avoided, and, Above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The opening will take place on TUESDAY, APRIL 14th. It was the intention this year that the performance of the Opera should take place at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, chiefly with a view to afford accommodation to those large classes of the musical public who, for so long, have been the constant supporters of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Gar den, but unforeseen circumstances have prevented this inten tion being fulfilled. Mr. GYE has in consequence again taken the Lyceum Theatre, and while be much regrets the exclu sion of a great portion of the general public from the per formances of the present season, he has at the same time the satisfaction of being able, by judicious alterations in the building, to accommodate a very considerable number of the regular Subscribers. It is also a source of gratification to know that an almost universal approval was expressed at the perfection of the per formances at the Lyceum last season, many Subscribers indeed even preferring the smaller theatre on account of the facility in seeing and hearing the entertainments, as well as for the elegance and exclusiveness of the audiences. Mr. GYE trusts, however, that for the Season 1858 he will be able to restore to the Royal Italian Opera a home equal, if not superior, to that of which it has been deprived ; in the meantime he begs most respectfully to entreat the continuance of that warm and generous support which has so long been accorded to him, and without which he would scarcely have had the fortitude to battle with the consequences of the cala ay of last year. It will be seen by the following outline that there has been no relaxation in the endeavour to render the arrangements of the present season as complete as possible ; that the great artistes are engaged—artistes, whether as sopranos, tenors, baritones, or bas-es, are as yet without rivals; that the cele brated Orchestra, and its most accomplished Conductor, as well as the Grand Chorus, still form part of the establishment; and, in fact, that an extraordinary combination of talent, such as has procured for Or Royal Italian Opera an European reputation, is again aseembled. In addition to the Operas performed last season arrange ments have been entered into with Monsieur Scribe and Mon. sieur Auber, the Author and Composer of FICA DIAVOLO, to adn4 that beautiful Opera for the Italian Stage, and it will be Produced w:.th entirely New Recitatives and additional Poetry and Music, written expressly for the Royal Italian Opera.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its introduction to the public been recogr'sed, both by scientific men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this c mntry. Its claims to such preeminence are based upon its unri valled purity, and its closer assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures of their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his wine, consumed as such, than he can realise by it§ bning distilled into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor tations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distillei from'a particular French wine no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it is bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine for distillation into Brandy having failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manu facture in which he needs the quarter Of a century's experience which has been exercised upon that of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, to render his article respectably competitive, and he has not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It is to the interest of the public and the Messrs. Betts that these facts should be NN :dely spread, for recent importations are of a quality so inferior as to di•grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied by the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private families in any quan tity, down to the single bottle. Excise regulations prevent Ifs sale irom the Distillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street, in any less quantity than two gallons.

The prayers and`cfferings of Churchmen are solicttcd in aid of an effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly popu lated district around the Victoria Docks. Withinthe last few years the formation of a portion of these Docks and other causes have added a population of about 4,000 souls to the spiritual charge of the Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow. A. new town has been commenced on a low and marshy tract of ground ad joining the river Thames, totally undrained, and intersected by stagnant ditches. In a few more years itis probable that this district will rival Poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number and habits of its population. It is proposed at once to send clergymen to labour amongst these newly-congregated masses, and to increase their staff as circum stances may render necessary. Another generation must not be left to repair the neglect of the present. The object of the appeal is not to apply a palliative of an all but hopeless evil, bat to find the means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every man, woman, and child in the district, to endeavour to being all within the fold of our National Church, to instruct them according to her formularies, and to preserve them in the communion of her faith and worship. Ragged Schools have been tried elsewhere with success. Why not try Ragged Churches in School-rooms? We propose, therefore, in the first instance, to have slum SERVICES FROM TEE PRAYER Boos in our Schools, adapted to the capacities of the untaught poor with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments. The Lord Bishop of London has given hi 3 cordial sanction to the work, and has undertaken, at the earnest solicitation of the promot ers of the mission, to select the clergy, when funds are provided. To aid ns in our difficult task special don tions are required for the necessary outlay for Missionary Stations, Schools, &o. ; and also regular subscribers, to enable us to support an adequate staff of teachers, clerical and lay. It is intended at an early date to submit the scheme to a general meeting. Further particulars will be given by the - Rev. R. W. B. Marsh, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow ; Antonio Brady, Esq., Mary land Point, Stratford, Essex, Treasurer; or the Rev. Alfred W.

FURTHER PARTICULARS, The Simla arrived at Suez on the 26th, bringing 48 passengers and 85,0000 z. of gold. Her dates are—Sydney, Feb. 11 ; Melbourne, Feb. 15 ; King George's Sound, Feb. 22 ; the Mau ritius, March 1 ; and Ceylon, March 10 . Ja T ms U The "Black. rsrr ek , B3 i l Marco Polo, Captain vcci oil Llvdtpotei on Saturday; after a passage of 76 days. She Mt Port Philip Heads on the 17th January, in company with the - - steamship Royal Charter, which vessel she again spoke on the 6th Feb., in lat. 57 S., 118 W. The Marco Polo brought 94 passengers, 10,000 oz. of gold, valued at 40,0001., and 2,500 bales of wool. The Simla's mails were conveyed from Alexan dria, which they left on the 28th ult., to Malta in the Jura, and were taken thence to Marseilles by the Cunard steamer Cambria. The Sussex and Thomas Ann Cole had arrived from London, and the Exodus from Liverpool, at Melbourne. Pie European and Australian steamer European arrived at Melbourne on the 10th of February, in 58 days. The Royal Charter, which may be expected hourly, had 122,086 ounces and 13,000 sovereigns, of an aggregate value of 501,3441., and 1,900 bales of wool. She has also a mail, comprising 25,720 letters and 24,700 newspapers. The Istamboul was to sail on the 2d of March ; the European on the 12th of MaTob, The Oneida left King George's Sound on the 3d of February, with 70 passengers and. 10,000 ounces of gold. Nothing has been heard of her sine, al though advices from Mauritius to the Lit of March are to baud. _ _ _ Mr. Childers, Commissioner, of Trade, was pro ceeding to England as Emigration Commissioner. Trade remained good, but was somewhat stag nant. The amount of gold shipped this year is nearly 1,590,000/. Labour was scarce, in conseguenc• of the reduc tion of the day's work to eight hours. The banks were buying bills at 1 per cent. prem., and selling at 2. Flour was at 171. to 181. per ton. At Syd 'ney wool was steady, with liberal supplies. Tallow was in demand, but supplies were very small. The gold dust received by the escorts in January was 14,000 oz. against 5,500 oz. last year. A good description of coal had been found in considerable quantities in the Wormbete forest, near Geelong. A bill for taking the census of the colony of Vic toria was read a third time and passed in the Le gislative Assembly on the 15th of January, and or dered to be taken to the council by Mr. Aspinall. The crops presented a very satisfactory appear ance, and gave promise of an abundant harvest. The mining intelligence is generally favourable. We read in the Australian Gazette :—" The outward arrival of the Oneida, having his Excel lenoy Sir H. Barkly on board, was notified to the inhabitants of Melbourne by the discharge of artil lery about 10 o'clock on the evening of the 23d December. His Excellency the Acting-Governor and several members of the executive and legisla ture were at the time patronising the fete given at Cremorne in aid of the Soldiers' Daughters Fund ; but on the announcement of the arrival of the now Governor they took their duparture. As soon wig possible after arrival Sir Henry intimated his de sire that his entry into Melbourne should be as quietly and as privately arranged as possible, and accordingly the hasty preparations previously made for his official reception were greatly curtailed. As the anchorage in the bay was effected, the block ship, under the command of Lieut. Crawford, R.N., fired a governor's salute of seventeen guns. The colonial government steam-sloop Victoria fired a succession of rockets and lighted the yards of the ship, so as to afford the pilot some assistance in bringing the ship amongst the vessels in the bay. Some few rockets were fired and blue lights burned by the Morning Star, Medway, Marco Polo, and other vessels in the port. At an early hour on the following morning his Excellency, accompanied' by the Acting-Governor and Mr. Childers—the latter of whom had pro ceeded on board the Oneida on the previous night —disembarked at Sandridge, and was conveyed in General M'Arthur's carriage to Toorak. An escort of her Majesty's 40th Regiment was supposed to have been in readiness to escort Sir Henry, but, as with all the intended preparations, were a trifle too late. The eye-witnesses of the landing and depar ture consisted of very few persons. Sir Henry's desire for privacy and early movements, however, sufficiently accounts for this. This, is the first time in which news has been received from Melbourne, in Australia, in 48 days ; and when the electric telegraph is laid down in the Red Sea, on the line to India, and a telegraphic communication is thereby established with Aden, we shall get news from Melbourne in 34 days. The Simla left Melbourne a day after her time, and reached King George's Sound a t day before her time. She lost a day in reaching Point de Guile, but made it up on reaching Suez. When.the Peninsular and Oriental Company had the contract to convey the Australian mails via Singapore, .they were allowed 53 days for the voyage between Melbourne and Suez, but the Simla has done it by way of Galle in 39 days. This magnificent ship is 2,450 tons and 600 horse power. She has triumphantly demon strated the capacity of the screw steamer for rat, pidly crossing the Indian Ocean. The Simla will no doubt take on the immense mail that has been accumulated at Suez, and reach Melbourne with it by the sth of next month. The European and Australian Company have done this good service— they have shown the precise kind of ship that should Le employed to carry the Australian mails, and how to shorten the time hitherto consumed between England and the colonies of Australia by a fort night. There are a number of screw steamers now afloat quite equal to the Simla in point of speed and strength, and more, of course, can easily bo built. The commander of the Simla is Captain Cooper. His name deserves record as the pioneer of what is to be hoped will be a new era in Austra lian steam navigation. The drawback to the Eu ropean and Australian Company's admirable per formance of their engagement by means of the Simla is the non-arrival of the Oneida. She left Melbourne 18 days before the Simla, and since she left King George's Sound, which she did at her proper time, sh has not been beard of. Her com mander, Captain Hyde, is a very able navigator, and he had -the greatest confidence in his ship when he left England. If she has broken down, and is making for Mauritius, she is twenty-four days at least, .since we have news from that place up to the Ist ultimo. If she is making direct for Ceylon, she is at least thirty-four days out, the.. distance of . Ceylon from King PeN. eing3,3oo miles. Being a-scrertv, Ifo fiefeT, — sleltividt so helpless in the Indian Ocean as a broken-down paddle-wheel steamer would be. If the Oneida makes for the nearest port belonging to England, Singapore is nearer than the Mauritius or Point de Galle, its distance being only 2,700 miles from King George's Sound. In a few days we shall have a fortnight's later news from Singapore, and a week's later news from Galle, and it is to be hoped that by that time the Oneida will turn up somewhere. If she arrived at Suez soon after the Simla, which is possible, there would be no steamer at Aleiandria to bring home her mails, as both the Etna and Jura had left that port. An Indian mail steamer will be leaving Alexandria, however, about this day, which could take on at least the Marseilles portion of her mails to Malta, and from thence it could be easily taken to Mar seilles. The Sydney Morning Herald of February 10th publishes a summary of news for the Simla. We extract the following : "By the Oneida mail-steamer we completed our sum mary of events in this colony up to the 22d of January. Since that date we have little in the political world to record. _ _ "The Parliament continues sitting, and but very slowly progresses with the actual business of the colony. "The announcement that the coins of the Sydney Mint had been made a legal tender in Ceylon, the Man. ritius, and Hong Kong was made to both Houses of the Legislature, and caused considerable satisfaction, and will, doubtless, tend to the recognition of such coin as legal tender in the sister colonies , of Victoria and South Australia. " The Bill to confer a corporation on the city of Syd ney may now be considered as passed. The council will consist of 16 aldermen, to be elected by ballot, and who will choose their own mayor. The mayor wi'l receive a salary, but will not be ex officio a police magistrate. Although two temporary measures for the regulation of the sale and occupation of the waste lands of the colony have been introduced, it is not intended to take the question of the reform of the whole system into consider ation during the present year. "Although not formally passed, the Gold Dills, assi milating the policy for the regulation of the goldfields of this cclony to that of Victoria, have been assented to by both branches of the Legislature. A strong expression of opinion has been mad in both Houses of the Legisla ture that the existing system for the management of im migration should be reformed, and that immigration should be superintended in England by an agent or agents appointed by the colony. " A large number of petitions have been presented against the continuance of railway traffic on the Sab bath day, but the question has not yet been definitely brought before the Legislature. "A Bill to increase the amount of the Civil L'st was passed in the Legislative Assembly by a majority of 19 to 14. The Loan Bill, to meet the accumulated defi ciency of revenue,. to meet expenditure for past year, was passed with little opposition. "A number of local enactments have passed, and will' shortly become law. They relate principally to "The share-market has been very quiet since our last summary, dated 'Tannery 21 ; and although a fair amount of business has been transacted, prices have re mained almost without alteration. A. slight improve merit, has taken place in the shares of the Australian Joint-Stock Bank, which are now worth 121. per share, ex divideed. Sydney Fire Insurance Company's shares have fallen slightly. " The fo:lowing companies have held their half-yearly meetings. We give a alio, t account of theirproceedings : " The Commercial Bank held their half-yearly meet ing on the 27th of January. The report showed that profits for tho past half-year amounted to 18,0581.25. Bd. After paying at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, 2371. 103. 21. was carried to the fund for the equalisation of future dividends, which is increased to 2,3131. 7s.' 11d. The reserve fund is 40,0001. Mr. Thomas Skinner was elected a dii ector in the room of Mr. Parker, who re signed his seat at the board on taking office as Colonial Secretary. "The eighth half-yearly meeting of the Australian Joint Stock Bank was held on the 27th of January. From the report it appears that the profits for the past half-year amounted to 15,7361. 4s. A dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared, and 1,523/. 12s. sd. was carried to, the reserve fund, which now amounts to 14,734/.125, 3d. The sum of 1,2121. lls. 7d. was carried to the fund for the equalisation of future dividends, whichs now increased to 5,0731. lls. 7d. Mr. Holt was elected a director in the room of Mr. Clark Irvine', who retired by rotation. "The half-yearly meeting of the Australians Steam Navigation Company was held on the 28th of January, at the company's offices, and the report of the directors and statement of the affairs of the company were laid before the meeting. After con-iderable discussion and a full explanation by the directors of the position of the company, the report and accounts were unanimously adopted. From these it appears that the net profit for the half-year, after paying all repairs 'to the vessels and other expenses of the company, including interest on the debentures, amounted to 13,2281. 4s. 4d. ; but it was agreed not to pay a dividend at present, but to leave the balance standing at the credit of profit and loss account, whlcb,. after clearing off 5,0061. 45., at the debit of that account on the 31th of June last, amounted to 8,2231.45., to be retained by the board of directors as a reserve fund. Much satisfaction was expressed at the efficient condition of the company's fleet and the improved pro spect of their affairs, giving every promise of a fair divi dend at next half-year's meeting. "The half-yearly meeting of the Newcastle Coal and Copper Company also took place nn the 27th of January, when a dividend at the rate of 10 per cant. was declared by the directors. The affairs of this company are in a flourishing condition. The plant and works at the mines have been greatly improved, and a considerable portion of the expense of doing so has been paid out of the cur rent profits. " The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Australian General Assurance Company was held on the 28th of January, when a dividend of 10 per cent. for the six months was declared. " Government Debentures have remained firm at 100, and accrued interest added to the principal. The ten ders for the 200,0001. will be opened to-morrow (this day) at noon, and purchasers are therefore chary of in vesting until the price at which thoy may be taken shall be known. These debentures may be considered equiva lent to, interminable annuities, because the principal is to be payable in Sydney at the option of the Govern ment only after 25 years. It ig, therefore, impossible to anticipate at what rate they may be taken. We, how ever, do not expect to see them bring more than from 9S to 99. • ratty. The announce rent w_ layed for a short peril. Admirals the Hoe- R. S. Ddndas and Eden, Captain Alexander Milne, Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P. and Mr. Bernal Osb irne , M. P., the Junior Lords and Secretary. of the Admiralty, left town on Saturday, to mile an official inspection at Wool wich Dockyard. Capt. Mulocki of the 70th Font, proceeds to China with the' eXpedition, as Aide-de-Camp to Lieut.-General Ashburaham, C.B. ' ; Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., has been appointed naval a'de-de-camp to the Queen, vice Codrington, promoted to flag rank. We regret to hear that Vice-Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon, K. C.H., is seriously ill. The next vacancy among the " Active" flag offi cers will occasion the promotion of Capt. M'Dou gall, the Superintendent of Packsts at Southamp ton. This officer has also a good-service pension. Next to Capt. M'Dougall Capt. Michael Qun. will be promoted, thereby placing three good-service pensions at the disposal of Sir C Wood—viz., thos of Captains Lapidge, Slaughter, and Quin. Her Majesty's iron screw steam storeship Indus try, Master-Commander Hodges, arrived at Wool wich on Saturday from Plymouth, and proceeded to Deptford to embark stores for Rio and Ascension. The paddlewheel steamvessel Cuckoo, tender to the flagship Waterloo, at Sheerness, brought up a number of supernumerary seamen to Woolwich on Saturday for the gunboats which are being manned at that yard. Intelligence has been received of the arrival of her Majesty's. steamship Simoom at lat. 0 25 N., long. 20 30 W., on March 3, with the head-quarters of the 33d Regiment, Lieut.-Col Johnstone, C. B. , commanding, on board; all well. No casualties since embarking at Kingstown on Feb. 4. The Greenwich out-pension, vacant by the pro motion of Capt. Hillyar to flag rank, has been con ferred upon Capt. W. Turner. Mr. J. Rtuden, master, R.N., who was dis misseclsummarily from H.M.S. Electra, and the . service, on the arrival of that vessel from the Aus tralian station, at Spithead, has been restored to his position in the Navy List upon his own repre sentation. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Capt. Caldwell, C. 8., was paid off at Portsmouth on Saturday. She will be placed in the steam reserve until wanted. The Nimrod 6, screw despatch gunvessel, Com. Dew, did nit leave Portsmouth until daylight on Saturday for China, touching at Plymouth for final orcl era. The William Hammond freight-ship sailed from Portsmouth on Saturday morning for Jamaica with a detachment of the 41st Regiment. The Sir George Rogers freight-ship arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Bermuda with returned exiles. The Terror, 14, floating battery, steamed into Sheerness harbour on Saturday, about 3 p.m., after having been cruising off the Big Nore for the last two or three days. Captain E. P. Halsted, Mr. J. C. Hutchings, and Mr. J. H, Langley, of the steam reserve ; with Mr. Enwood, foreman shipwright afloat, accompanied her on the second trial trip, which we hear was satisfactory, and that they got more than six knots out of her. The Meanee, 84, is being converted into a screw in No. 2 dry dock, Sheerness. The Transit, 6, iron screw troop-frigate, Com mander E. Chambers, at Portsmouth, is receiving an immense quantity of camp equipment and stores of every description, besides heavy 30-inch breach ing guns. A number of the medical staff corps arrived on Saturday afternoon and went on board. A portion of the 59th and three companies of tho 90th will embarked to day, and the Transit will, in all probability, sail to-morrow, en, route for China. The Himalaya, 6, iron screw troop-frigate, Com mander Haswell (late of the Plumper), will haul alongside the dockyard jetty as soon as the Duke of Wellington is removed, to embark the 90th, and also a great quantity of camp equipage and munition. The Drake screw gunboat, Lieut. W. Arthur, has had sundry alterations made in her rig. She has had a standing bo *sprit and jibboom, also a foretopmast with a standing topsail and foreyard, which improves her considerably. She went out of harbour on Saturday on trial, under sail.

The sailing ship Cumberland, 70, fitting in No. 3 dry dock, at Sheerness, was commissioned on Saturday by Capt. J. B. Dickson, for the flag of Rear-Admiral of the Red, P. W. P. Wallis, to command on the Brazilian station. Admiral Wallis is expected to hoist his flag this day on board the. Edinburgh, Captain E. P. Halsted, until the Cum berland is sufficiently fitted to receive the flag. She will be ready to be put out of dock iu about ten days. The Pylades, 21, anew steam .corvette nt Sheer ness, in the first-class steam reserve (now in the fitting basin), is also ordered to be immediately commissioned. Captain Hall. late of the Hecht and Nemesis, is daily expected to commission her. On the recent occasion of Miss Nightingale visit ing Chatham, for the purpose of inspecting the naval and military hospitals of the garrison, that lady instituted some inquiries relative to the work ing of the Chatham Garrison Compassionate Insti tute—a society supported entirely by the officers and troops at Chatham, and which has been in ex istence a great number of years. Miss Nightin gale was informed that the objects of the institu tion were to provide a hospital for the sick women and children of the garrison ; to supply relief to those women whose husbands may, be in hospital ; and also to give food, clothing, and lodging to those destitute soldiers' wives who are constantly arriv ing at Chatham for the purpose of embarking with draughts proceeding to the respective regiments of their husbands ; in addition to which relief is admi nistered in a great variety of distressing cases which may naturally be expected to occur in a gar rison circumstanced like that of Chatham. Before leaving the hospitals Miss Nightingale expressed her intention of becoming a subscriber to their funds, and she has just forwarded to the treasurer the handsome donation of 50 guineas.

The C o nunamler-in - Chief, before proceeding to the Marsh, conducted the Lords of the Admiralty to the Royal carriage square, in order that they might examine the equip ments prepared for the Chinese war.

The guts were directed by a party of gunners told off from the Ist Battalion of the Royal Artillery, arid were aimed with precision. Colonel Tulloh, Major Vandeleur, and Captain Boxer, officers of the Royal Artillery Corps in Woolwich Arsenal, superintended the proceedings, which were watched by Liutenant-Colonel Picker ing and Captain C a mpbell, R.A., secretary and assistant secretary of the select committee.

The prices paid in some localf- I diitricts. ties are so low that, were not all experience opposed to the principle of protection, the advocates for a protective I duty in favour of the farmer would be likely to receive many converts to their ranks. In one district we bare wheat quoted at 4s. per bushel ; in another at Gs. These are discouraging prices when we consider that two years ago wheat was purchased at many mills in the interior at 20s. ; and low as is the present price of grain a further reduction is anticipated. "It is encouraging to perceive tbat the result of the abundance which has characterised the present season has been to show the settlers and the public generally the urgent necessity which exists for that ready c ommunion.- Gold.

The pressure for an im p roved r system of communication is already, inde ed, be g innin g to make itself felt. The communication established by the successful navigation of the Mnrray has effectively directed the attention of the colonists to the value of the hitherto neglected rivers of the country. Already the Murrumbidgee has been surveyed, preparatory to the ascent of steamers during the approaching season. This stream, we aro told, has five feet of water in the shal lowest part during the dry portion of the year. Then the Edward River is to be made one of the highways of com merce. A meeting, numerously and influentially at tended, has been held, at which it was resolved to memo rialise the Government for a sum of money sufficient to clear this stream of obstructions with the view to its navigation by steamboats. " Everything tends to show that the colony is begin ning to assume the character of a great agricultural country. One fact, however, which has been established by the remarkable diversity in the seasoes is that in this colony the farmer must not look to the produce of his farm merely as a means of subsistence. To be successful the eerioulturist must be sufficiently independeot to be capable of occasionally hoarding the produce of one year for the market of the next. If he does not acs time, it is quite evident that he wil l not be true to hinee.l.f. Indeed, the interests of the country, not less than the individual, demand the exercise of some management of this sort. If the farmer sell his wheat one year for 4e. a-bushel, and the next year, when the price is 20s. has none to sell, it is evident that agriculture would soon come to a standstill. " Another fact which is now clearly demonstrated is that Now South Wales must eventually become an ex porter of grain. If, with our defective internal commu nication, the competition of the gold fields, and various other drawbacks, we can already produce a superabun dance of bread-stuffs, what may we not do when we have railways intersecting every agricultural district in the colony, and when our population is doubted ? When that period arrives, the colony, aided by such seasons as the present, will become a vast granary, as remarkable for hergolden grain as she already is for her golden fleece. Nor will a market ever be wanting—whether a cluster of European colonies each as the French settlement at New Caledonia, stretching across the great Pacific„or new Sydneys studding the yet untrodden s bores l f New b© Holland ; whichever of these may happen to calfor created. extra extra produce, the demand will i nfallibly But far beyond even this vista does the m ind's eye see those who will yet look to New Holland as their hope against want. Already does China, our near .neighbour, begin to feel the pressure of superabundant p opulation. Who will say that in 50 years she may n strip her heathen temples to purc h as e for her swarming millions the harvest of the Murray and the Murrumbidgee l The races of India, too—lndia, which lies at our door —may not always irecontent to subsist on rice and such meagre diet, if indeed their over-wrought soil will continue to supply an abundance even of their present dietary conamoditieo.
