The adaptability of Australia and Ronde Africa
to the growth of cotton of the mod undid, as well as the
&m at guano', is placed beyond doubt, by tin IlanPloa now at
Meacham, of cotton recently grmen in these colo-
nies. The Cotton Supply Reporter (lesnel by the Mmelrestar
Associatioe) of Saturday, publishes farther oorreapondence
estnived from both these I,cslittee. The Governor of Sydney,
Iffr William Denims, takes a strong personal interest in the
gratin& of promoting the cultivation of cotton in Amanita,
and Lient: Governor Scott, of Natal, is doing all in hie
power to further the same object at the Cape. Private mer-
chants and cultivators in both countries sae turning their
attention to cotton culture, end we lure that 600 labourers
have been engaged to commence cultivation at Rockhamp-
ton, to Australia.
Active steps are being taken in order to have the
Great Rasters ready for sae by the letter cod of the month of
July or the beginning of August. The unrestricted free-
dom of semis which was given some weeks 'ince by the
company is now followed by a system of Me most rigid ex-
clusion. The directors (the Odureer says) found that the
privilege accorded to the public was gromly abused ; had it
been extended to a much longer period there would not have
been a moveable or portable article left in the bull of the
great vessel. Wherever there was a piece of moulding or
metal which could be wrenched off the visitors appeared to
think it a fair trophy. Tire knobs and hurdles of the cabin
doors vapidly disappeared, and Captain Harrison's cabin was
literally stripped of everything beyond the bare boards and

One of the Marquis Campana's caste of Etruscan
jewellery deposited by him as security at the Neale dl
Pith", was recently opened by permission of the Roman
government, elnedy for the inspection of Baronies Roths-
child, and some few other favoured individuals. This Fort
of the Campine Musses contains no fewer than 1,146 spe-
cimens of mint diadems, wreaths, pins for the hair, ear-
ring', collars, necklaces, sestet:eel, brooches, braceletse
arrests, talinnanio and ritual ornaments, gold and slim
utensils, rims, wen, integlko, cameos, end amber ornaments,
almost all found in Ewen= tombs, and thardure undoubted
works of that ancient people.
