THEATRIcALs IN AUsTRALIA-A late number
of the Melbourne ArgaS thus speaks of Mrs. Sin
clair and Mr.. Sedley: ...
'Much ado about nothing' was performed at
the Lyceum, and was the medium of ntroduc-
ing to the Melbourne public Mrs. G. N Sinclair
and Mr. Sedley, the former playing Beatrice
and the latter Benedick. The lady combines
with the possession Of handsome stage face
and figure, more than ordinary intelligence and
a watchful attention to stage business Her
Beatrice was arch and vivacious but not so
natural and unforced as that of Mrs Robert
Heir. We cannot say much for the "eminent
and popular young actor, Mr.. Henry Sedley."
He reminds us unpleasantly of Mr.. Stark in the
tone of his voice, the play of his features, and
his spasmodc style of expressing himself. He
seemed to consider that almost every other word
ought to be emphasized suggesting the idea
that if the actor were writing familiar letter
to friend, half of it would be underlined for
italics and the other half underscored to repre-
sent capitals. At the fall of the curtain Mrs.
Sinclair and Mr.. Sedley were called before it to
receive the plaudits Of full house, and the la
dy addre ssed the audience in clever and tell
ing speecs, gracefully and naturally spoken,
which impressed US even more than her acting
with the conviction other tact and talent, -a

SELLING ACCOUNTS IN PARIs.-The fashionable
clubs in Paris have recently been thrown into
some excitement by the publication of the names
of the most popular dandies, with their debts,
which are to be pnt up at auction, and sold to
the highest bidder. 1t looked at first like sort
of "black list" and nothing was talked of but
horse-whppng the impertinent scoundrels who
asked for money which belonged to them. But
it soon appeared that this publication was a
matter of form consequent upon the dissolution
of a partnership, all the unpaid bills being sold
at auctod 1t created good deal of astonish-
ment that such names should be found with such
bills-for men reputed to have large fortunes
to have bills of seven or eight years's standing
unpaid.

The Camel Experiment.

In the Report of Jefferson Davis, Secretary
of War, we find the following interesting ac-
count of the experiments which have been made
with the camels recently imported into Texas by
by the General Government As soon as they
are acclmated we may expect to have them
making trips between this State and Texas by
the Gila Route
Since the last annual report the cargo Of
camels thirty-two in number, then referred to
as being expected have been landed on the
coast of Texas and taken into the interior of the
country. Much time was required for their re-
covery from the effects of long sea voyage,
and but little use has been made of them in the
transportation of supplies. On one occasion it
is reported that a train consisting of wagons
and cames was sent from Camp Verde to San
Antonio a distance of sixty miles, over road
not worse than those usually found on the from
tier; and the result, as given, is that the guam
tity brought back by six camels (3647 pounds)
was equal to the loads of two wagons drawn by
six mules each, and the time occupied by the
camels in returning was two days and six hours:
that by the wagons four days thirty minutes
On another occasion the capacity of the cam
ell for travelling over the steep activities and on
the muddy roads was tested with the most salts
factory result Instead of making the detour
rendered necessary in the location of the road
to avoid rugged mountain, impracticable for
wagons, the camels followed a trail which pass
ed directly over it, and heavy rain occurring
whilst they were at the depot to which they had
been sent for supplies, the road was rendered so
muddy that it was considered impossible to
loaded wagons The train of camels were, new
ertheless. loaded with an average of 32S pounds
EACH and returned to their encampment dis
tance of sixty miles, in two days-sufferng. as
! it is reported, no interruption or unusual fa-
/ tigue from the mud over which they passed, nor
the torrent of rain which fell upon them.
These tests fully realize the anticipations en-.
tertained of their usefulness in the transporta
ton of military supplies.
The experiment of introducing them into the
climate of the United States, has been confined
to the southern portion of Texas. Thus far the
result is as favorable as the most sanguine coult
have hoped. OF thrty-four animals imported
two have died-one from accidental injury ant
the other from cause unknown. When it is re
membered that this is the year of their accima
tion-in a climate subject to sudden violent
changes, and to the use by them of heritage very
different from that of the countries from which
| they were imported there is every reason to
believe that as little difficulty will be encoun-
tered in the acclimaton of the camel as that OF
the horse or the OK. ...
The intelligent officer who was sent abroad
to procure them and who has remained in
charge of them, expresses entire confidence both
of their great value for the purposes of trans
portation and of their adaptation to the climate
of large part of the United States.

The NEST OF THE TARANTULA.--A Tagantu-
las nest, with the tarantua cozily ensconced
in his bachelors abode, was recently found in
San Joaquin county, and presented to the ed
itor of the San Andreas Hependent
The architectural economy Of the nest is one
of the curious evidences of great mechanical
skill, combining a knowledge OF chemistry, and
using earth, air, fire and water as the solvents
to fuse his habitation into the proper shape and
durability. The chamber or round cell is about
six inches long, perfectly smooth, and of vel
vet softness inside-entirely waterproof, with
positive condenser or pneumatic engine at the
bottom to absorb the superabundant moist
ure. The substance Of the house is about as
thick and Of the consistency of bonnet board,
and no doubt formed by the paper making pro-
cess. The mouth of the cell is closed by rath-
er massive trap-doOr, held down by elastic him
ges; the side rim being adhesive, firmly holds on
the lid, assisted by atmospheric pressure, so that
it takes considerable effort to raise the trap
door; this permanent fortiiicaton protects the
inmate from heat and cold, wind and rain, and
more especially against his common enemy the
wasp. Wasps destroy tarantulas whenever they
find them outside Of the hermitage. and this is
why so few of them are discovered travelling
abroad.
These nests are planted in the ground in
vertical position, and it is said that if the trap
door is removed during wet weather, the taran-
tula will manufacture new one in less than
an hours time. This beats the mechanism of
either the hornet or spider

DESTRUCTION OF THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
ANTIcIrATED.-In remarking upon the late warm
rains in the mountains, which in view of the vast
quantity of snow that has fallen this season,
seems to pretend a sudden and overwhelming
freshet, the San Andreas Independent says
But the most serious reflection, to contemplate
is the fact that for several years every mountain
stream, gulch, fat and hillside has been worked
over and over several times, thoroughly loosen
ing the soil from the bedrock to the surface, and
in many places entirely filling up the bed of the
stream with sand and sedimentary matter, while
the water has been lifted out Of the canon by
bitches, for mining purposes. The melting Of
this snow must cause spring floods, and the water
will carry a suliicency of debris down the cur
rent to fill up the bed of every running stream
which winds through the tules, to the Bay of San
Francisco. There is not a tributary river, creek.
or gulch of the Sacramento and San Joaquin,
but will furnish its quota of diluvial and alluv-
al soil to fill up the marshes of our tule lands
One winters freshet such as we had in 1849
will carry down enough loose soil to Obitorate
every channel that leads inland from the Bay,
so as to almost entirely destroy navigation
What this anticipated troubling of the waters
may do, timc'alonc can determine; but to any
reasonable mind it is evident that the Bay of
San Francisco will be, in time, entirely filed up
or at least SO much so as to leave only an open
roadstead to mark the place.
