A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentlemanresiding at Northam, In Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from I,arlestone .Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair eon ..inued to come off, till lie became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWL.kND'S AIACASS dit Art OIL, an is hi ghlygy gratify was ing to add, with the mos t happy results. As soon as part used the growth recommenced, and he has new to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation. —Bell's Messenger. *.*, Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASS tit OIL " on the wrapper.

A g, g,A G InOne half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himeelf under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness a , .d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by Misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere Idle curiosity, b hom out for the closet perusal of t hose more deeply interested, to w on they are offered as antagon istic to the empyrical trash put forth the above subjects, by u qualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little put lications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6,1.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be happy." They are not merely pamphle's, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes hix present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of them , rims he would inculc.,te —t I do unto others as lie would be done unto —to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always ott Sherwood,the s "suetyside e Paternoster -row; c ll r i , e al a i boj l e 47 7o t r i k e s e t m s a t r y e e li t e ; hadi\iMatta, 39, or direct (by po.t. or otherwise) from the ' authorl'e.' 420, (vh 0 0 . xf a o y rd- n s , treet; 39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West . strand • Bar con ferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place, Regent-street ; and all Booksellers.

On the Ist of I uly will be published, in medium Bvo., price Bs. cloth, with finely engraved frontispiece, HENRY MAS TER TON; being the Thirteenth Volume of the Works of G. P. R. ADELPHI THEATRE. A new three act comedy (or to speak more correctly melodrama) from the practised pen of the veteran Peake, was produced here on Monday evening, with the most complete success. It is entitled the " Title Deeds," and the interest of the piece turns upon the loss and the recovery of certain title deeds, the property of Mr. Morant (Mr. Cullenford) a West India merchant, who is about to proceed to Jamaica, and who leaves the box containing the title deeds arid a large sum of money in a cab, of which he knows tint the number. Tho driver of the cab, lIum• phrey Haywisp (admirably acted by Mr. 0. Smith), finds the box. He is tniserably poor, but he resists the temptation for a time, and had it not been for his mother he would hive resisted it altogether. She urges him to break open the box and appropriate its contents, and notwithstanding the entreaties of his wife Sally (Mich Woo!gar) he gives way, and finding a large stun of money in the box, lie appropriates that to his own use. purchts- , es a cottage ae,Glaitonbury. and with his old friend Pettit. Hush (Wright), a ci-devant author and actor, whom he engages as tutor to his chil dren, retires into the country, where he be comes a sporting man, and as such be comes acquainted with Turfy Goodwood (Mr. P. Bedford), a blackleg, and Mr. Philip Fustic (Mr, Boyce), a pigeon, and the partner of Morant. He has saved suffi cient money to replace the sum he had found in the box, and is anxious to discover the owner. Conscience has done its work with themother,who has becomeidiotic. Morant comes forward to claim th e b ox con t a ining the title - deeds without which he will b e ru i ne d. Humphrey seeks for the box—it has disappear e d. Th e old woman, in a crazy fit, had removed it, and concealed it she know s not . where. There is a Mrs. Evergay (Mrs. Yates) residing in the town with her two nieces (well acted by Miss Ellen Chaplin and Miss E. Harding). One of these young ladies, who is betrothed to Philip Fustic, is fond of drawing, and in sketching a view of the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey by moonlight, she observed an old woman prowling about—struck by her picturesque appearance she introduced the figure of the old woman into the sketch. Sally Haywisp recog nises it as that of her mother-in-law. Search is made among the ruins, and the box containing the title-deeds is found, and all ends happily. The piece was capitally acted and admirably put on the stage; and Peake has furnished the management with Title deeds for a run of a hundred nights. JENNY LINTS NEW SONG JUST OUT.

Madame Vestris and Mr. Charles Mathews cotn menced an engagement here on Monday, and appeared in Love's Telegraph, A Cu; isms Case, and The Critic. Their reception was most enthusiastic, and they both appeared all the better for their recent provincial excur sion. The house was crowded. HOP INTELLIGENCE. CANTERBURY.—The hops are growing vigorously, though the weather of the past week has not been the most favourable. The fly is on the increase. One or two grounds on the Boughton-road are in an awful plight ; yet, in the neighbouring village, the plantations are comparatively clear, and on the whole, present pros pects of a good crop. General accounts inform us of the bine being strong, but much infested with vermin, and the tops of the bines having been partially injured by the late rough weather. MAIDSTONE.—Our bine is now as vigorous as could be wished, but it is followed up by the fly and lice to such an extent that in all probability it will shortly give way to their attacks. The blight, as usual, is more particularly at the outskirts of the grounds, and in confined situations. Duty 170,000/. to 175,0001. Farley—Look well, but there is some increase in fly. Boxley, A ylesford, . and Burham— Bine has not grown so much during the past week; but it is very full tor the time of year, looking healthy, with scarcely any fly. Staplehuret—Looking healthy, although in some gr,.uncia the fly is still numerous. W r oth am , Plaxtol, Ightham, and Shipbourne—Continues to grow vigorously, considerably in the grounds, and the hail storm has decapitated many of the bines, but upon the whole there are at present prospects of a good crop. Ticehurst—Looking well, but a great many fly at places. Goudhurst—Strong and healthy, and is generally beyond the tyer's reach. The fly during the past week has made its appearance in some of the grounds, while others are quite exempt. Horsmonden—Still very foul, but the presence of fly is vrtainly more partial than it was ten days since. The bines growing fast. Cranbrook— We have a great deal of fly still, but the bine continues to prosper. Little Chart and Pluckley—Growing very fast and is promising, with but little fly. Bethersden and Smarden—Generally growing well, and bids fair for a good crop. Some grounds are backward. Bine mostly clear of fly. Biddenden—Looking healthy, some pieces have a good deal of fly. Tunbridge—Plenty of bine, but. not free from insect. Mayfield—The bines very full of fly; should the weather become more congenial they will overcome any ill effects the vermin has had upon them. Peasmarsh—Growing rapidly, and of good colour. Since Saturday fly has made its appearance and increased daily. Rye The cold has checked the hitherto vigorous growth of the hops, and also had the effect of checking the ravages of the fly. Battle— Continue to thrive in the neighbourhood. There has been some talk of vermin, but it is thought by many good juth:es that the plant is in so forward a state that it will be able to withstand any attack that m ay be made upon it. Burwash—The growth of the bmes here has been rapid. We have considerable fly, which seems most prevalent in low situations. Easthoathly— The bine in most instan ces l oo k s strong and v i gorous, and at present bids fair to overcome all its enemies. Farnham—Never looked more healthy, and continue free from fly and blight. Alton and country districts — Some plantations have su ff ere d f rom thecold nights, and we have a considerabl e quan ti t y of fly and vermin. We do not expect a heavy crop.—Canterbury Journal. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—The operations at the station of this railway at the Lothian-road are being carried on with the utmost vigour and rapidity. Large bodies of workmen are actively engaged on the works, and the extensive excavations are already far advanced. The station will comprehend an area of about twelve acres, and, inclusive of the price of the ground and the elegant building to be erected for a station-house, will cost the large sum of nearly 100,0001. The building is from the design of the eminent London architect, Mr. Tite, and the contract f or it s erec ti on has been taken by Mr:Lind, the builder of the Assembly Hall and the Scott Monument Several houses in Tobago-street, and the neighbourhood, on the line of the railway, are in course of being removed, and others in Gardner's crescent, beneath which the railway passes, have been vacated during the operations. Considerable progress has also been made in the deep cuttings in the imme diate precincts of Grove -street, by which the line enters the city, and the works in the neighbourhood are being executed in the same vigorous manner. The engines for this line are to be constructed on the most modern and approved principles. The carriage department will in clude several important improvements. For instance, a thick matting of hair-felt will be introduced between a double boarding for the carriage bottoms, which will render them much warmer and less noisy. A novel first class carriage is to be constructed expressly for through trains between Scotland and England, designed by Mr. Sinclair. The body of the carriage will be of the usual size, divided into two compartments, the one larger than the other. Both divisions will be fitted up with cushions, pillows, and everything suitable for comfortably lying down at full length. The larger division will accommo date six persons; the smaller one, communicating with the other, is principally intended for ladies, and will afford room for two. In this -latter division there will be all those conveniences which ladies and invalids will appreciate. At Hamburgh, on the ISth of June, money was easier at 41 to 5 per cent. Exchange was slightly more in favour of this country, the quotation for three months' paper being 13.6. From St. Petersburgh, also, under date of the 11th of June, exchange comes more favourable, large arrivals of silver having reduced the price to 38 13.16 to . Hemp and flax were without alteration, but we re very firm. Some arrivals of the new crop n pl a ce, and the quali ties are considered ex -1 prices The grain market was q uieter, and t raed taken t h ere were more seller s, but no decline had taken place. The weather ha d at len g th chan ged , and summer seemed to have esta blished itse lf. Freights to Eng land were dull. From Riga on the 12th June, ex change is quoted 391. The total number of ships arrived was 1,470, of which 677 had sailed. Grain was rather lower. A SCEN T OF M. GREEN'S BAnnowv.--Mr. Green made an ascent on Monday from Crernorne Gardens in the presence of many thousand spectators. The no velty of the ascent was the fact of the aeronaut being accompanied by two parachutes, in which were two monkeys. The parachutes were cut away from the bal loon when at a great elevation over the grounds of Chelsea Hospital. The a ind was at the time very high, and the expanse of the parachutes being large, the monkeys ho vered in the air a long time, and seemed almost inclined to remain there. They at length descended in perfect safety. The company in the gardens were then enter tained with a concert and the usual amusements, and re mained till a late hour. General Sir John M'Leod and family, Captain and Lady Palmer, and A. Garnett, Esq., and family arrived at Blackwell Pier early on Monday morning by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Soho from Antwerp. Captain Storey, R.N., Captain Man nering, and the Rev. Mr. Francis and family , landed at Antwerp on Friday last from the same sh ip. THE CRoTS.—The late rain has had a visible effect in the improved appearance of the crops in this neigh bourhood, particularly the wheat. In the gardens also its beneficial effects are experienced, and pears are now plentiful (Thursday), at 9d. per peck, and on Saturday (this day) there is no doubt they may be readily pur chased at 6d. Many samples of new potatoes from dif ferent parts of the county have been shown of good size, very clear, and perfectly free from disease. There is a good sprinkling of fruit—certainly not the abundance of some seasons—which, we understand, in some other counties is deficient, except that useful and pleasant fruit, t h e a pple, which, we are glad to state, is generally reported to be abundant.—Bedtbrd Mercury, AN OYSTER-SHELL FOR 1 RAZOR.—A man in Philadelphia attempted to cut his throat with an oyster- shell a tew days since, but he did not injure himself much,—New York Mirror.

U.-9 DD i EDFOR-STREET BEDFORD , Five f ce n t a i n i, aqUARX, LONDON, JUNE 23, 1847. ON THE CULTIVATION OF COT TON IN NORTH EASTERN AUSTRALIA. The following communication on this important subject appears in the Gla.sgcw Argus of June 21 : Edinburgh, 17th June, 1847. Sir,—Having recently returned to this country from New South Wales, with a view to promote the general welfare and advancement of that colony, my attention has for some time past been strongi directed to a subject of transcendent importance, nut only to our remote colonkl community, but to the entire manufacturing interest of the mother country, and to the cau,e of humanity—l mean the practica bility of growing cotton, of superior quality, and to any conceivable extent, by means of European free labour in North-Eastern Australia. Towards the close of the year 1845, I made a tour to the northern portion of our vast colonial territory, with a view to ascertain its capabilities as a field for emigration, for virtuous and industrious familie , , and individuals of the middle and humbler classes of society in this country ; and in the course of my visit to the Brisbane River Settlement, in Moreton Bay, latitude 271 deg. S. I was particularly struck with the vigorous and healthy appearance of the cotton plant which I found growing there (merely, however, as an article of curiosity), and with what appeared to me the superior quality of its produce. And,know ing, as I did at the time, that the climate was in the highest degree salubrious, and perfectly adapted, not withstanding its comparatively low latitude, to the constitution of the European field labourer, I could not help thinking that the prospect which the cir cumstances opened up was highly encouraging to the colony, as affording the assurance of remunerating employment to a free immigrant European popula tion of any amount, and likely to prove of the utmost importance to Great Britain, and to the interests of' humanity ; for, if European free labour could be applied successfully and profitably, as I felt assured it might, to the culti va ti on o f co tt on i n our own Aus tralian colonies, it appeared to me that not only might this country be supplied with the raw material for her principal manufactures from her own colonies ' but that a new and unexpected, a legitimate and power ful, influence would thereby be brought to bear upon the extinction of slavery in America. On my return to Sydney, I mentioned the subject to several gentlemen of high standing in our Colonial community, and particularly to certain of the lead ing members of our Provincial Legislature ; and I was encouraged, by their entire concurrence in my own views and opinions in the matter, to bring it under the notice of gentlemen connected with the cotton trade in this country. I have accordingly prepared a work, which will shortly be published, illustrative of the capabilities of North-Eastern Aus tralia, particularly for the growth of cotton, by means of European free labour; but the importance of the subject, and its bearings on one of the great questions of the day, (the means of affording remu nerating employment and permanent subsistence to the destitute population of extensive districts of this country,) have induced me to solicit attention to it through the press, on the part of those who are more immediately connected with the cotton manufactures of the country, previous to the publication of that work. I am prepared, therefore, to prove, to the satisfaction of all unprejudiced persons, the following important points :- 1. That in North-Eastern Australia, or the tract of country extending northwards along the Southern Pacific, from the 30th parallel of south latitude, to the Tropic of Capricorn—a range of latitude in the southern hemisphere precisely the same as that of the ancient land of Egypt in the northern,—there is a vast extent of land of the first quality for the cultiva tion of cotton. 2. That cotton, which has been grown from Ame rican seed in this tract of country, casually, as a mere article of curiosity, and without any attention to its cultivation, has been pronounced by one of the first houses in the trade in Glasgow, a very valuable kind, which, if' imported in quantity, would readily bring at present from lid. to Is. a lb. 3. That this tract of country possesses facilities for water carriage in extensive bays, inlets, estuaries and rivers, all navigable for steam-boats to an extent un surpassed by those of any other tract of country, without exception, having the same extent of coast, in the British empire. 4. That the climate is in the highest degree salu brious, and perfectly adapted, notwithstanding the comparatively low latitude, to the constitution of the European field labourer. These points lam pre. pared to verify, not only from my own personal ob servation and experience, but from the medical sta tistics of the district for the last seven years, and from the testimonies of public functionaries of variou, professions. and of undoubted intelligence and vera city. And 5. That for an industrious European population to grow cotton for exportation, as an article of agricul ral produce, on their own account, could be carried out from the mother country and settled progres sively along the bays, inlets, and rivers of this tract of country, wherever the soil and situation might render the formation of such settlements desirable, without costing either the mother country or the cotton trade in particular one farthing of expense eventually; for as an Act of Parliament provides that land in the Australian Colonies shall not be sold for less than a pound an acre, and that the proceeds of such sales shall be appropriated for the promotion of emigration, there is land enough in the tract of coun try I refer to, of the first quality for the cultivation of cotton and other tropical produce, as well as of all sorts of European grain, fruits, roots, and vege tables, to pay for the progressive occupation of the entire redundant population of Scotland ten times over. It would be necessary, indeed, in the first in stance, to advance the funds requisite for defraying the cost of the emigration of the labouring popula tion to be employed eventually in this branch of cultivation ; but the land that would be received from the Government, either in trust or in perpetuity, for these funds, would form an ample security for their ultimate repayment, together with a higher rate of interest in the meantime than in ordinary circum stances is procurable at heme. The special reason that has induced me to direct the attention of the cotton trade to this subject at the present moment is, that as emigration to Canada will, in all likelihood, have ceased for the present year very shortly, in consequence of the absolute neces sity of making timely provision, on the part of the emigrants to that country, for the rigours of its long and dreary winter, it would be quite practicable, in the event of the idea I have suggested being carried out, to effect a large emigration to Aus tralia durin g this present year; as it is of no consequence at what season of the year a ship sails for that country, pro vided she can once get fairly off the land. Five thousand persons, including perhaps three or four thousand of the very people who, by a Destitution Committee, are now feeding on public charity in the Highlands and Islands, could be shipped off with perfect safety for that portion of Australia to which I have been referring, before Christmas. And supposing that these emigrants should include, as I would propose they should, perhaps a hundred families of practical gardeners, or persons accustomed in some measure to the cultivation of exotic plants at home, to introduce the cultivation of cotton in their adopted country, and whereby to set an example to the rest of the emigrants (who would, generally speaking, require, of course, to hire themselves out as farm servants, shepherds, household servan t s , or labourers, in the first instance). I could pledge my self that the whole number of these emigrants would find immediate and eligible employment in the dis trict, in one or other of these capacities, on their arrival in the colony, and until they are able to settle successfully on land, as they would be able to do very soon, if at all industrious and economical, on their own account. In reference to the climate and general capabili ties of the country I have been describing, the following is the testimony of Oliver Fay, Esq., J.P. Commissioner for Crown Lands for the Clarence District, in North Australia:—" I am satisfied there is no part of New South Wales, however, justly it may be famed for the salubrity of its climate, which is more conducive to the health of the human body than the district of Clarence River." And again—" On the whole, a four years' residence in the district has confirmed me in the opinion, that no country ever came from the hand of its Creator more eminently qualified to be the abode of a thriving and numerous population than the one of which I have been speaking ; and in forming this estimation I have been uninfluenced either by prejudice or by interest, being in no way connected with it, save in that arising from my official capacity. As for myself , I think I can say, without the slightest degree of egotism, that I am no visionary, like most of those who speculate about emigration and colonisation in this country, without having had any practical experience on the subject themselves. I have resided for nearly 25 years in the Australian colonies, all of which I have visited but one, and I am, therefore, thoroughly acquainted with their phy sica'l character and capabilities. Neither am I altoge ther unqualified to give an opinion on the suitableness of the soil and climate of north-eastern Australia for the cultivation of cotton. I saw the plant growing there myself, healthy, vigorous, and well de veloped. I plucked its pods with my own hands, and, although I could not pretend to be a judge of PRICE SD. its quality, I had no idea that it would be found to be of so superior a quality as it was proved on examina tion in Glasgow. I had been three times in the Brazils, both at Pernambuco and at Rio Janeiro, where I had seen it growing also, and where it is grown for exportation, and I had also been in Char;es ton, South Carolina, one of the principal cotton ' growing states of America. Neither is the compara tive cost of free labour a subject which I have not considered, in reference to this question, or on wh - ch lam unqualified to offer an opinion. I have see,. slavery, and considered it well, both in the United States and the Brazils, and it is, after a careful con• si iwt sh cl ,ee e v te r s, i a hot tin conclusion, cu o plludl es of h plenty nt,tnoy t t, of onlyn atly wholewith virtuous be et hs able Eb b ; subject, from this countr uen e r c dtoo , h European industrious ep t arno a d t f ru elce produce have laab come much ueuocrrh, l to paot. : the humbler or wor ki ng cly, rior article to the cotton of the Brazils in Nom - Eastern Australia, but even to undersell "Jonathan and his niggers." and thereby to chive him eventually out of your market till he should mend his manners In short, I am firmly persuaded, that " the heaviest blow and the greatest discouragement" that negro slavery in America is destined, by Divine Providence, to sustain, will be experienced from the application of European free labour to the growth of cotton, and other tropical produce, in North-Eastern Australia. Anticipating, then, as I do with perfect confidence, that this object will very soon be regarded as one of national interest and importance, and that it will call forth at once great national effort for its accomplish ment, I am desirous on many accounts, and not merely as a native of the West of Scotland, and an alumnus of the University of Glasgow, that that great commercial and manufacturing city should take the lead, and assume the initiation in the matter. For, if the manufacturing city of Manchester took the lead in that memorable agitation which issued in entire freedom of trade in the great staff of life, it ap pears to me that it would be peculiarly fitting, as well as highly desirable for the city of Glasgow (which is surely not inferior to Manchester, either in point of intelligence and enterprise, or of public spirit and an enlightened interest in the national welfare), to as gpsruoemratse success initiation in a somewhat similar agitation — an agitation w hi c h I h ave no h es itation in adding, would promises not ot equally only important,en sure a future t u u a r l e l y a s u p p l splendid d t o results. a n y national then al moabnjuefcatc tandmanufactures, independently agitation, contemplate,l conceivable ex t en t, o f t h e raw material, for our alto gether of slave labour, either in North or in South America, and thereby give a wonderful additional impulse to British commerce, but it would also in sure the conveyance out and progressive settlement in a land of plenty, free of all cost eventually to this country, of thousands and tens of thousands of your destitute population, who are now a burden to so ciety at home, but who would there become valuable consumers of your manufactured produce abroad ; and I am greatly mistaken if it would not tend, more directly and more effectually than all the Abolitionist and Evangelical agitations in Britain, to give ulti mate freedom to the American slave. For I confess, that so long as America continues the principal source of the supply of cotton for your factories, I have no hope, from what I saw myself in that country, of the extinction of slavery in America. Only let us be able to undersell Jonathan, however, from Australia, which I maintain is perfectly practicable, by means of European free labour, not only in the article of cotton, but in other articles of tropical produce in America, and slavery will be extinguished as a matter of course, as being no longer either profitable or re munerative. With a view to bring this whole matter under the consideration of the public generally, and especially of gentlemen engaged in the cotton trade, I propose to deliver two lectures on the points I have enumerated above in the city of Glasgow ; and, if a few gentlemen should be appointed to make further inquiries on the subject, and to report, I should be most willing to submit to any subse quent interrogation they might propose, with a view to develope the real capabilities of the tract of country I refer to, and the practicabilities of employing Eu ropean labour to any considerable extent in the eulti vation of cotton within its borders. And if the mer chants and manufacturers of Glasgow should only take the lead in this matter, so as to form some organisation for action and agitation on the subject, I am confident that immediate and zealous co•cpera tion would forthwith be afforded to the carrying out of whatever measures might be deemed practicable and advisable in Manchester and the other manufac- turing cities and towns of England, and that her Majesty's Government would, at the same time, most willingly afford every facility that could pos sibly be desired. As a further inducement to take up this subject, I would remind your mercantile readers, that while the vast population of the Russian Empire consumes British produce and manufactures at the rate of only 7id. per head annually, every man, woman, and child in our great colony of New South Wales con sumes such produce and manufactures annually to the extent of 71. 10s. per head. In short, we are excel lent customers. I am well aware that anything new is usually re garded with suspicion and distrust. It is not yet fifty years, however, since the project of growing sheep's wool in Australia was submitted to the con sideration of the public in this country, and I need not inform your readers how magnificently the promise which was then given on behalf of our colony has since been fulfilled, notwithstanding the distrust and incredulity with which it was at first received. Now, lam quite confident from what I have seen myself, that our soil and climate are equally adapted to the production of cotton wool of superior quality; and as the growth of cotton wool can be extended by means of an industrious population much faster than that of sheep's wool, I anticipate from the experiment much speedier and far more magnificent results. It is well known, for example, that the cotton crop in America is not unfrequently destroyed by un seasonable frosts; but in the tract of country in Australia to which I have been directing attention, frosts are never severe enough to hurt the vegetation. While, therefore, the cotton plant in America is an annual, and must be renewed from seed every year, it is perennial with us, as it is also in India and in Egypt, and, consequently, much less labour is required for its cultivation. There is no more difficulty, indeed, in the matter, than there is in the cultivation of a gooseberry bush ; for the separa tion of the cotton from the seeds is a mechanical process, that has no connexion with:the cultivation of the plant, and that ought, decidedly, to be carried on by a different class of people altogether from the mere cultivators, which, I am happy to add, the great extent of water communication in North- Eastern Australia would afford the ampliest facilities of doing. In further proof of the superior mildness of our Australian climate, as compared with that of the United States, and of its consequent adaptation to the growth of :"the cotton plant (which is decidedly a native), I shall only add, that when at Charleston in the year 1840, I ascer tained of the warmer regions of the temperate, ra ther than of the torrid zone, and which appears not to like extremes either of heat or of cold, that the orange could not be grown either in that vicinity, which is in 32 deg. north latitude, or in Sava n n a h, or in New Orleans, which are in about 30 deg. north, considerably nearer the equator, on account of the extreme severity of the American winter even in these comparative low latitudes ; but the orange grows freely in the neighbourhood of Sydney, in New South Wales, in latitude 34 deg. south ; and, if I am not mistaken, it has been grown, and suc cessfully, two degrees farther to the southward. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN DUNMORE LANG, D.D. Senior Master of the Presbyterian Church, and Member of the Legislative Council of New South Wales. MR. WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENTS.—On Monday the Music Hall, Store,treet, was filled by a hearty and ap plauding audience, who had assembled to bear the minstrel's last budget for the season. Wilson was in fine voice, and gave the songs with, if possible, more than his usual excellence ; the result was, abundance of encores. He sang " The Skylark," by request, when it again produced as great an effect as when he gave it in his entertainment on Hogg's songs. We perceive that on the concluding night of the season, on Monday next. he is to give his popular entertainment of " An Hour wi' Burns," when he sings some of Burns's finest songs, and recites the humorous poem of "Tam o' Shanter," which he gives with great gusto. PIEBALD MICE.—Row, a mechanic, in White Lion-coart, Taunton, has in his possession several beau tifully mottled white and black mice, from one of which he lately had the extraordinary progeny of sixteen in one litter. The breed is common in the Austrian States, and has been imported by the Itali an an d Swiss Wile: rants.—Salisbury Herald. THE LATE . TWEED.—The Nassau Observe r says that two Harbour Island vesse l s arrived at that pla ce- with between two and three hundred jugs of quicksilver, saved from the wreck of the British steamer Tweed. They would have saved much more had they not been driven off by Spanish men-of-war, after having worked but one day. ORIENTAL BANS.—A meeting of the propr ietors of the Ori en t a l B ank was held esterday, at their of fi ces, Walbrook, w h en t h e new re gulations the govern ment of the bank, which were adopted for tedat the annual general meeting in December last, were confirmed as the laws for their future directions. honour of soliciting the suffrages of the electors at the ensuing election. His motive for thus withdrawing himself, he says, is the lukewarmness of some of his former friends in the borough. SOUTH DURHAM.—The friends of protection to native industry will secure the election of Mr. Farrer, and tacitly acquiesce in the return of Lord Harry Vane, rather than encounter a contest which would be attended with great turmoil and excitement. NORTH DURHAM. —For the northern division it is positively said there will be a contest, as Colonel Beck- with resolves to go to a poll. The contest, we are satis. fled, must be nominal. The mass of the electors in every district consider the present Member, Mr. Liddell, and Mr. Shafto, who has become a candidate under the auspices of the party who supported Mr. Lambton, as certain to be elected by very Fsrge majorities. DURHAM CITY.—The city of Durham %•ill be the arena of a very spirited contest. In addition to Mr. Granger and Captain Wood. Mr. Spearman (4 Newton Ilail) is now in the field. The dift-rences in the Con• servative ra,ilts, arising out W . the elcc , ion of Mr. Bright At the last vacancy, not having bcen r. concils.d, the id,peridentConservative party have fo:mally " to withhold their support from any candidate present ing himself under the influence of the Marquis of Lon lowlerry ;" and the electors will, we believe, at present very generally refrain from promising their votes. Sou?u Wi.ateley, Esq.. a bar. rist,r, has presented himself to the notice of the el -etors of :=,outh Shields, as a candidate in the Conservative interest, to represent that borough in the next Parlis,- ment.—Durkam Advertiser. READING.—Mr. Apsley Pellatt, of Staines, and the principal proprietor of the extensive establishment at Blacktriars, known as the Falcon Glass works, will start as a candidate for the representation of the borough on the Liberal interest. STAFFORD.—Another candidate has entered the field in the person of Mr. E. W. Robertson, of London, as a free-trader. He is a graduate at Oxford, and has con siderable property at Chilcote, in Derbyshire. SIINDERLAND.—Mr. W. A. Wilkinson's address to the electors appeared on Friday morning. He avows himself a thorough free-trader, and a friend to the entire abolition of the present navigation-laws. It is the universal belief that Mr. Hudson is perfectly safe, bat that the contest will be severe between Mr. Barclay and Mr. Wilkinson. POOLE.—We understand a Conservative candidate will be brought forward for this borough.— Wiltshire Herald. LYME.—We have authority to state that Mr. Edmund Batten, of the Chancery bar, is likely to offer himself as a candidate for the borough of Lyme, at the next elec tion, on moderate Whig principles.—Sherborne Mercury. STAMFORD.—The Marquis of Granby and the Right Hon. J. C. Herries (tbrmerly Chancellor of the Ex chequer) will be candidates for the representation of this borough. CORK.—Mr. Shee denies having ever entertained a thought of aspiring to the honour of representing the county of Cork in Parliament. GLAscow.—Mr. Dixon, of Govanhill, will submit his claims to represent this city in Parliament.—North British Mail. GLASGOW.—We are authorised to state that there is no truth whatever in the rumours which have been cir culated respecting the retirement of Mr. Lockhart from the honourable post of representative of the county of Lanark. On the contrary, when the proper time arrives, the Hon. Gentleman will address the constitu ency of the county, soliciting the renewal of their favours.—Glasgow Courier. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE OXFORD, Jr, NE 2 A DVANCEMENT L—T a O r r F a n g S e C n3 I e E n N t s e for E. holding this, the 18th meeting, which are now completed, differ in some respects from those of previous years.

A room for the exhibition of models, philosophical ap paratus, natural and artificial products, ke., will be open during the week at the Divinity School. Amongst the distinguished visitors whose presence is expected during the week is his Royal Highness Prince Albert, whose attendance at the sectional meetings is confidently announced for next Monday, and for whose accommodation preparations are being made at Exeter College, the rector of which, the Reverend Doctor Richards, is one of his private chaplains. It is also currently reported that he will on this occasion be accompanied by her Majesty, who will stay at the seat of the Archbishop of York, at Nuneham. Amongst others whose attendance is certain are the Prince of Canino, the Chevalier Bunsen, the American Minister, Count Rosen, deputed by the Crown Prince of Sweden to exhibit some elaborate maps executed by the latter ; Professor Struve, the eminent astronomer ; Dr. Lang berg, Baron de la Fresnage; Professor Van der Hoeven, of Leyden ; M. de Verneuil ; Professor Nillsonnu, of Lund ; and M. Major, who is now in this country, de puted by the Norwegian Government to make inquiries concerning lunatic asylums in England, &c. Every intellectual resource of Oxford in the various halls, museums, and gardens of the different colleges, with the libraries, &c., will be thrown open to members of the association during the week The Duke of Marlborough will, on Saturday next, throw open Blenheim-palace and gardens for inspect ion, including the private and kitchen gardens, hot-houses, and pineries, &c. The Great Western Railway Company will also, on Saturday, convey members free to their great central station at Swindon, for the purpose of inspect• ing their extensive works. They have also arranged special trains both for London and Bristol, which will leave Oxford after the termination of the evening meet. ings. The members will be extensively accommodated at the different colleges, and there will not, as has been the case on many former occasions, be any exorbitant charge for lodgings during the week of meeting. The reception room for inquiries and information is at the Town-hall. ALARMING SINKING OF THE :VIADUCT OVER TIM RIVER AVON.—SALISBURY, JUNE 20.—This morning, by four o'clock, a great number of labourers were set to take down the stone coping and brickwork of the viaduct over the river Avon, about half a mile from Salisbury, it having been discovered that the stupendous walls were giving way. Fortunately it was timely discovered, or something awful and disastrous might have been t he consequence. A number of carpenters were also busily engaged putting four large pieces of timber, one under each, to support the four linos of rails at. the top. It is therefore hoped that the rebuilding of the arches may be carried on without obstructing the general traffic over the same, or any serious accident happening. Many complaints are made against the works on this branch line of the South-Western from Bishe,patoke to Salis bury, twenty-two miles. At the present time the large building intended for the reception of g oods in this c ity, 240 feet long, 40 feet wide, with a fu rther span of 10 feet each way, covered with at least. 60 tons of slate, has been carried up in so shameful a rummer as, even before its being finished, to require at least 50 pieces of timber to prevent this ponderous mass from falling. A few days since this ill.built place was examined by Mr. Locke, the company's engineer, and other gentlemen connected with the company, when the works were con demned, and all the men ordered off, Mr. Fisher, the respectable builder of Salisbury, having been appointed to either rebuild or so far to strengthen the works as to make them safe. Many are of opinion that all must come down.—Post.
