STEAM TO AUSTRALIA.

THE repeated mishaps of the screw Steam-ship
Australian, following so immediately after the dis-
asters of the Melbourne, and the anything but
satisfactory performances of the Adelaide, all be-
longing to the Australian Royal Mail Screw Steam
Shipping Company, has led to serious doubts whe-
ther any advantage is to be derived from steam in
our communications with Australia over the ordi-
nary sailing vessels. It is evident that, after the
rapid voyages of the Eagle, the Marco Polo, and
other ships, the superiority of steam has not yet
been made apparent ; and though particular causes
for the delay in each several steam voyage have
been assigned, the triumph of steam has yet to be
accomplished. The failure of the Melbourne,
which put into Lisbon in such a wretched plight, is,
perhaps, only a proof of the inferiority of our go-
vernment-built ships, when compared with those
constructed in private building yards ; but, being
followed so closely by the repeated attempts of the
Australian to perform the voyage, and her being
ultimately compelled to return to London, shows
that those entrusted with the management of these
vessels have something yet to learn before they are
in a position to carry out their undertakings. In
the case of the latter vessel, it has been reported by
the Government Inspector that the recent disaster
was probably owing to her being overloaded to the
extent of about four hundred tons ; but this only
shows the incompetency of those who were en-
trusted with her fitting out, and also the incapacity
of the Government authorities at Plymouth, who
reported her to be seaworthy. This Company ap-
pear to have been, so far, particularly unsuccessful,
neither of the four vessels belonging to them having
yet been able to surpass the performances of several
of the sailing vessels from Liverpool. One of them
reached her destination in 79 days, another took 95
days, and the Sydney was 104 days on the passage
out ; while several of the Liverpool vessels have
performed the voyage in little more than eighty
days. It would appear that it is only on this line
that steam has failed to show its superiority, and
the failure is attributed to imperfect arrangements
for the necessary supply of coals ; but, unless more
effectual means are taken to perfect these arrange-
ments, we cannot prevent the impression that Aus-
tralia will not derive any benefit from steam com-
munication until America enters into the compe-
tition, as it has done on the New York line, and
stimulates England into the exertions requisite for
success.

AsHPITS.—A correspondent, who signs "Caleb," complains
of Mr. Newlands, the borough engineer, and Mr. R. Glad-
stone, who, he says, appear to be in favour of abolishing the
the old system of ash-pits, &c., and substituting closets.
He protests against this innovation, for the reasons that the
construction of many houses render them impracticable;
that in many cases the remedy would be worse than the
disease; that the sewers now; in use would be inadequate,
and the owners of house property would be put to an enor-
mous expense. He suggests that the Council should under-
take to be their own scavengers.
EPHRA.—We have again been obliged to postpone the insertion
of his " letter on familiar subjects."
A CHURCHMAN asks how next Friday is to be kept, it being a
Fast of the Church, as Good Friday ; and a Feast, as the
Annunciation of the Blesssed Virgin Mary.
A. o.—His " Lines on Christmas" are somewhat out of season,
but they well deserve keeping.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 22, 1853.

THE JEW BILL

THE third reading of the Jew Bill was appointed
for Friday last, although it was shrewdly suggested
that it might with more propriety have been fixed
for Friday next. It has, however, been postponed
until Monday, the 11th of April, so that an oppor-
tunity is still afforded for resisting the last step for
publicly declaring the Legislature of Great Britain
to be no longer even nominally Christian. The
Bill has been supported by a combination of Radi-
cals, Romanists, Socinians, and men of no religion
at all, notwithstanding that it has only been pro-
posed to gratify the ambition of one or two indi-

viduals ; for it is a striking fact that the Jews, as a
body, disclaim any country but the one they were
driven from, and have presented no petitions in
favour of this measure. We trust, however, to
have once more occasion to be thankful that we
have a House of Lords ; for on no occasion is the
value of the Upper House more apparent than
when they interpose to stay the unconstitutional
proceedings of the tyrant majority in the Commons.

It may be instanced as a proud distinction for
this port, that while vessels from London have met
with disasters, in some cases before their final de-
parture, and several after being laden have been
condemned as unseaworthy, no such calamities have
occurred with Liverpool ships, which in the Aus-
tralian trade especially have won the palm both for
speed and safety.
