LIFE IN AUSTRALIA.

Sandhurst is a Babel of a city compared to Castle-
tuaine ; it has a population of 14,520, having doubled its
numbers since 1854. The local journals of this place give
notice, among other matters, that " parties requiring
fat cattle in mobs from five to one hundred at any time
can"bave Ohm on, application" to the parties named.
Thire-wodd appear, therefore, to be no scarcity of ani-
mal food. " Lovers of a good glass of ale" are requested
to patronise the Royal Hotel L the Noah's Ark yard
of stables offer to "'livery a horso for 12a. a night and to
gi se him a bait for 3,. 61." It will not excite surprise
to learn that the fares by the Telegraph line of coaches
are somewhat. high in consequence of the great price of
forage ; the 'fare to Melbourne will be 5/. sa. on and
after the sth of May, but after the 12th of June it
will be altered to 61. ; fares to other places are to be
altered in proportion. Then the fashions are much
sought after in Sandhurst. There are several "prac-
tical *hair-cutting saloons," in onroof which Professor
Sands shaves for 6d., cuts hair for la., and does the
shampooing for 24. Medical ativrtisements are
numerour. One d..ictor " announces his return to the
colony ;" another has " a constant supply of healthy
leeches." Dentistry, vaccination, and rheumatism have
each their specifics ; and the quack medicines of the old
country appear to be extensively patronised. The
amusements of the place are varied. "The 8/st anniver-
sary of the declaration of American Independence" is to
he celebrated by a salect ball and supper at the Franklin
Hotel, Sail Ws Gully ; tickets one guinea each. "The
Sydenham Gardens are now open for the summer season
admission, free." There is a grand ball and supper at
tim Cape Clear Hotel, tickets 10'. 61., and as an attrac-
tion, it is stated that the 4.h of June will be a "moot..
light night." On the same clay there is a v.rand quadrille
assembly at the British and American Hotel, also "fine
moonlight night." By way of variety, "a grand demon-
stration of the minera in and around Bendigo is fixed at
the Criterion Theatre, price of a reissiin optional." Mrs.
Brougham announces 'her complimentary benefit, on
which occasioa the Criterion Theatre will be thrown
open to her patroLs—the diggers, and tho price of
admission left perfectly optional. " Macbeth" will be
performed in all its integrity by the nr)st powerful com-
pany in the colony, and the entertainments will con-
clade with the Spider Dance' and a favourite farce."
The arrangement is made, it is state.,l, "in compliance
with the oft-repeated expression of service by numerous
digger-patrons." Than we have, in the same joymal, an
advertisement of a "grand soiree musicale et clansante,"
in aid of the Library Fun f. A.,cl t) the e a " grant
Bendigonian Gift Enterpr.se,"in, which Mrs. Broogbain
will give away 3001 to her patrons by a drawing which
is to take place on the stage ( f the theatre ; a Bendigo
art union ; a lhadrille assembly every evening at the
" Rid-in-Eland," and we shall have exhausted nearly
all the amusements of Sandhurst.—Austra/iart and
