The followin is an extract from a private letter
dated Adelathe, &pt. 17 :

"The arrival of the English mail in South Australia ie
now quite an exciting event. The news a forwarded from
hence to the other colonies by telegraph. Betides the agents for
the Victorian and New South Wales nevrepapers, the cor-
respondents of the merchants in the other colonies are all on
the gas tithe to get the first intelligence, and telegraph the
necessary information. Hence every one trice to be first. A
small branch sunnier meets the mail steamer at Kangaroo
Wand, and taking our mall on board steams back to the
Gleoelg Jetty In about six home. From the The
to the
telegraph-ofiice in Adelaide is about six wile.. The various
clerks and agents on board the steamer, se it approaches the
jetty, throw to others waiting in boats or on the pier head,
their packets of information which are hurriedly borne to
the jockeys, who in full racing costume and mounted on feet
horses are drawn up on the beach ready to start; and then off
they go to town at racing speed. Belays of hones await
them at different parts of the road, or other men mounted
ride alongside and without reining in the horses the packet'
change hands and are carried onward without an instant's
delay. The streets are crowded to *et them arrive, and
telescopes are turned towards the Bay-road. At lest a shout
is raised, • Here comes the first ' sad on he dashes, his
despatch between hie teeth, his face and jockey costume be-
spattered with mud. He throws his packet to a man in
waiting, who darts intothe telegraph-office, as if thonaanda
depended on his not losing a minute. Indeed, one firm In
Melbourne made 4001. by buying up a certain article on ad-
vice by telegram, on the arrival of a toad. The first jockey
on one occasion wee said to have dune the Mx tulles in 16
minutes, and wee so exhausted that he could not walk when
he dismounted."

A letter from Paris says:—" On Friday the
Emperor went out shooting with Prince Metternich. His
Majesty brought down 160 birds, &c. The Prince, no doubt
to maintain the family reputation fur diplomacy, modestly
=tented himself with 130."

Prince Napoleon and the Princess hlathilde go to

" Mlle. Bosohetti, the first dansebsa of the San
Carlo Theatre," uys a Naples letter, " has lately been the
object of a feminiae vendetta, originating in the jealousy of
a rival. She wee attacked in the street, when walking to
the theatre, by several women in masks, who maltreated
bar. She was able to go on to the theatre, however, aid
shortly after appeared on the stage, amid thunders of er
plume, a rumour of the attack having become known in the
ham."

The following is the manner in which each the-
atrical reoremmation is managed at the Palsies at Com-
piigne —On arriving the company are installed in apart-
ments prepared for them in the part of the palace adjoining
the theatre. At two o'olook a dinner is -treed up for the
actors and other persons attached to the thestre, but in two
different rooms. At the dinner of the performers, Count de
bacciochi, or his deputy, pieeides, with the director for his
vice•president. The performance usually begins at eight
o'clock. After the piny a nipper is servel in the same
manner as the dinner, aof after the supper the company re-
turn to Paris by special train. The expenses of the jouresy
are paid in the first illftetaCh by the director, who fa repaid
front the Emperor's privy puree. An indemnity for the
suspension of performance at Paris and a gratification lee
the artists are also allowed.

A LIVERPOOL MAN IN THE AIIsTRALIAN BUSE.
—We (Liverpool Albion) have been favoured with the fol-
lowing extract trout • letter written by en enterprising and
clever young gentleman, formerly ofthia town :—" I am DOW
