DONKEY
.--A MAN KILLED BY A .--...
occurrence took place two days agoat Gardanne (Botches-
du-Rhone). A farmer had been in the habit of ill-treating
adkey, and on the day in question had beaten the poor
animal more brutishly than usual. The proverbial patience
of the long-eared animal appears to have been at length
exhausted, and taking advantage of the moment when the
man had just taken off its harness, the donkey rushed
forward, knocked him down, and then began tearing him in
the most dreadful manner with its teeth, striking him also
with its forefeet. The man cried out for assistance,- but be-
fore aid could arrive he was so dreadfully mangled that he
died in a few hours.—Galignani.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—This celebrated screw
steamer, belonging to the Liverpool and Australian Naviga-
tion Company, leaves Liverpool- for Australia on the 20th of
November. She is 3,500 tons register, and 500 horse-power,
and has made the passage to Melbourne in 61 days. These
facts place the Great Britain in an exalted position—even
equal to the overland mail route, particularly as far as first
class passengers are concerned. We find that many saloon
passengers patronise the overland route at a cost of about
£9O. The charge made by the Liverpool and Australian Com-
pany is from £55 to 60 guineas, and the time occupied in the
journey has been as regular, if not more so,
proportionably
than the over-
land route ; so that the rates for passages are
lower; for in the case of the emigrant it can be truly said,
"time is money." Moreover, the departure of the Great
Britain, just now, is very opportune, as we learn the Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steamer Salsette, which has
Just started, carries neither goods nor passengers.
