("1 ENTLEMEN'S SUMMER

THE

alluding is no longer a mystery. The whole thing
has been practically tested, and for a sufficient
length of time to furnish us with unquestionable
data, and yet there are not a few who still look for

charmed passages to the Antipodes. The paddle
not having been equal to the wing of the hawk, the
screw is to fly like an eagle !
But what say experienced mariners on this bead.
Captain MORIARTY, in his evidence given before
the New South Wales Steam Communication Com-
mittee, stated, that " the difficulty in the return
" passage would be very great; owing to the preys,
" lence of Westerly winds, and that the screw
" propeller would not afford that certainty of rapidity
`` which is essential in postal communication" Captain
STANLEY, another witness, alluding to the same
portion of the southern navigation, says—" I
" think it perfectly impracticable for the auxiliary
" screw to propel a vessel against the strong westerly
" winds." These were nautical men, who were
examined in the Colony, and were selected
to give evidence on account of their well-known
skill and experience. And with such testimony
in the hands of the COLONIAL SECRETARY, what are
for I we to think

of,the revival of the old " fifty-day"
tale ? The Oriental Steam Packet Company have
always managed their ships vvelli but they could
not keep time against the winds and waves they
had to battle with. And yet the Government
venture to throw the Panama line overboard for
another five years, and return again into that old
track where all has been delay and disappoint-
ment! The average passage from England to
Aden is 25 1-6, and the time required for the

passage from Aden to Australia—Adelaide for
example—is from 55 to 80 days. Strike off four
days in favour of Melbourne, as a packet-station,
and the transit will occupy from 80 1-6 to 85 IA
days I Liverpool and Panama could most
assuredly beat this round about line. But her
AlAJEsnes.Government promise us something more
than a magical flight to the gold fields.

The mail packets are to carry passengers from

Southampton to Melbourne direct, and we feel
particularly anxious to see the Royal Mail Steam-
boats' tariff of charges, for first, second, and third-
class passengers, after all Mr. JAMES LAMING has
said in his pamphlet about " those preponderating
classes of passengers, that frequently, accona-
" panied by their families, cannot afford the error-
" mous cost insepaiuble from the Red Sea route."
Merchants and bankers will also he curious to
know what provision has been made in the Austra-
lian mail contract for the safe transit of gold by
the Aden line. They would like to know who is to
insure the gold on its journey from Suez to Cairo,
from thence down the Nile to Afteh, and then on
to Alexandria. If these matters are not explained
in a business-like way, and if the practical working
of the line does not support the statements of its
originators, the whole affair will prove to be just
what we think—a job, entered into in direct oppo-
sition to the weight of the reliable evidence sup-
plied for the guidance of all parties really
interested in the welfare of the Australian
Colonies, and the parent State. Liverpool
need not, however, wait for further proof of the
impractibility of the Aden and Ceylon line, for
gold and passengers ; and as this port can accom-
modate both, and to any extent, by the Panama
route, we can only say that we have lost nothing
beyond a contract, which binds the steamship
owner to a speed which, practice has shown us,
has no existence, except in the noddles of our
go-a-head officials.

THE worst difficulties of the East appeared to
have been revived by the restoration of peace.
The internal condition of the SULTAN'S dominions
is represented as one of interminable misery and
discord, and what it will all end in no one can tell.
France and England can do no more than defend
the Ottomans from their foreign enemies. The
Western Powers have no soldiers to employ as a
police force in any country, much less where there-
is so little honour or remuneration to be earned.
They must withdraw their troops from the shores
of the Bosphorus, and their departure will be the
signal for general revolt. The Servians, Walla-
chians, and Moldavians, will make common cause.
The presence of an Austrian army in the Princi-
palities has excited their suspicion, and will
eventuate in their union. The arms of France and
England only can prevent the consummation of
this long•cherished design. No other nations can,
in fact, prevent the popular mind of those countries
from following its natural bent, and here the
question arises, whether we are to be the
armed guardians of Eastern Europe. The van-
guard of the Russian army is said to have already
crossed the frontier of Persia. What does this
mean? Can such a movement have been designed
to draw off our attention from the Danube, while
the military occupation of Turkey is necessary to
preserve the SULTAN'S dominions from dismember-
ment ?

If it were not for the certainty that Austria will
require all her troops in Italy, before long, we
should be inclined to believe that the Principalities
were irretrievably lost to the SULTAN. But FRANCIS
JOSEPH is not in a position to hold poor con-
quests, and to embark in the speculation of con-
verting them into happy and contented
Austrian provinces. He talks already of the
danger of having a second Piedmont in the East,
and with Hungary and the Concordat on his
hands, the power of Austria is almost a nullity.
