The Great Britain seems quite to have sustained her
reputation in her outward trip to Australia. One of the
passengers, Mr. B. C. Aspinall, thus describes the
voyage :—' We had a charming passage, no wrecks, no
horrors—nothing but a long pleasure-trip in a large
yacht. Daneirg, singing, eating, drinking, sleeping,
all the way, to a most enjoyable extent."
WILD DUCK-S.—As the cold weather approaches, wild
fowl become more numerous in our firth, and usually
attract a number of aquatic sportsmen to the town. For
the last week or two Mr. Wyndham has had come capi•
tal punt shooting between Inverness and Munlochy,
generally bagging about a score a day to his own gun.
The poor villagers of Clachnaharry, near whom Mr.
Wyndham has been staying, have largely benefited by
his good sport and liberality.— Inverness Courier.
THIS BRITISHERS HAVE BEAT.—It turns out that th
baby that gained the prize at the late show in the United
States is a British one after all, the father having emi-
grated from Canterbury when it was 11 months old.—

SHIPPING PROSPECTS AT HAMBPRG.—Hamburg, Dec 1.
—The underwriters and shipowners of this city are in
great alarm, and look with fear and trembling to the
consequences of the war and the probable effect it will
have on the commerce of Hamburg. None of the insu-
rance companies here can be induced to insure Hamburg
ships for transatlantic voyages against the risk of war,
and some of our principal shipowners are even seriously
thinking of sailing their vessels under the Belgian flag,-
which they consider more safe from molestation than the
Hamburg " white castle." The alleged reason for this
panic is the real or pretended unity between Prussia
and Austria, which it is anticipated, will draw the Ger-
man Bund into the war, and not on the side of the
Western Powers, whatever may be the sympathies and
feelings of the German people individually. Her Ma-
jesty's steamer Euryalus, Captain Ramsay, arrived at
Kiel yesterday from cruising off the Russian coasts. A
good many of her officers have come over here on leave
of absence. The subscriptions of the English residents
in this city for the Patriotic Fund, including the collec-
tion made at the British Church, amounting to 500/.

tage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming im-

nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes

nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the cars is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. By her Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
erdinary powers that some 3A inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can bo
