Parliament enacted that the year should
commence on the first of January, instead
of the 25th of March; and the days should
be numbered as usual until the I'd of Sep

should be added, and the following day
should be accounted the 18th Of Seplem.

or Old Style, and adopting the Gregorlan
or New Style. The new style also drops
one in every hundredth year, except the
4th hundredlh. This new style of reck>

onies in America at the same time, so that
almost an hundred years have elapsed
since the present mode of computing Time
in this country was adopted. and hence
the terms odd Style and New Style
have entirely gone out of use as house,

Steam is working wonders in bringing the
ends of the world into neighborhood with
each other. An arrangement has been re-
Gently effected, by which monthly COM
municalion is TO be had by steam between
China, India. and Great Britain. Steam
ers are to leave India twice month, once
direct from Calcutta, and once by way Of
Bombay each through Egypt, the Medi-
terranean and France. With these a
monthly line of steamers is to communi>
cate with Hong Kong, touching at PEI

ment, correspondence will be transmitted
between London and China il forty eight
days. Add the twelve days between Bos-
