Two routes are proposed for the trade
and travel between Australia and Eu-
rope In England they favor the route
by India, the Red and Mediterranean
Seas. The colonists of Australia insist
upon establishing q line Of steamers from
Australia by way Of the Island Of Ia
hiti to Panama. and across the Isthmus
to New York and thence to England.
At present tho Australia trade and
travel send ACROSS the Isthmus annually
fty--thrss thousand passengers and
forty -four millions Of money. The trip
from Australia to Tahiti would b made
in IS days; from there to Panama ls
days; to New York 8 days, making the
passage to New York 20 days, and Il
England so days. The American route
will undoubtedly become the hvorita
route. ~ the quickest and pleasantest
When the trade Of China shall come
across the Pacific to find it, American
and European marts, and the trade o
Oceanics and Polynesia shall take il
route across the Isthmus Of Panama b
the same destinations, the centre Of tn
worlds exchanges will not b in LONDON
but in New York. and these changes il
the course Of trade, will b powerful
means to effect the change in the seat Q
the commercial empire from England +
America. It is . glimpse Of these prob
able future effects, that makes English
; men the strenuous advocates Of the Asi

This excellent institution, which re.
fects 80 much credit upon our city. and
which has thus far been sustained with
50 much liberality and public spirit by
our citizens, has laid its annual assess
ment for the coming year. Now is the
proper time for those who are not al.
ready entitled to its benefits, to become
either Subscribers or stockholders. The
right to the use Of the library is becom-
ing every year more valuable from the
accessions Of books and papers; and the
addition of new stockholders and larger
contributions makes the Library more
valuable to oil who have subscribed, and
those who subscribe now get more ad-
vantages for their money than those who
have built it up. As the Book Commit.
tee are preparing . large order for new
and valuable books to be added to the
shelves. and as they will soon need funds
10 pay for them, it is to BE- hoped stock
holders and subscribers will be prompt
in pairing up the annual assessment just
levied. There is . number Of delin-
quents on the assessment rolls Of past
years, most Of whom have become so
from neglect and insttsntion to the calls
Of the Association. Such persons had
better make mote" Of the order given
to the Secretary to enforce the penalties
Of the Bye-Lsws against them. We
think good way to quicken their mem.
ories, would be to publish . list of their
names in the newspapers.

@Ths important ausstionis debated
in New York, whether IN increase ofths
rates Of freight and travel on Railroads
which is the only remedy suggested for
their present embarrassed situation
will increase their receipts ? Experience
and reason are against the policy of in
creased prices. It was only BY constant
~ reducing their rates, that the FIRST and
now most profitable roads, were made
to pay at all. To Jake the back step
now, and attempt to tax the people by
high rates Of fare, to pay dividends on
the most extravagant expenditures in
construction and management, will prove
abortive. Travel and freight will dimin-
ish as rates advance, and the roads will
suffer more than they gain. On almost
oil the roads they could run their trains
double the distance they now do, at an
expense but little more than the cost oil
fuel for driving them the increased dis
lance.
