TnE AUSTRALIAN BLoSDIN.-Mr. L. Estrange,
from Australia, has been performing on the tight
rope during the past week 10 fair houses, IT the
. Colosseum > on the Esplanade. His performances
last about an hour. and are certainly well worth see
ing, as illustrations Of the wonderful degree Of skill
TO which some men arrive by practice in a walking
on the air" At the Thursday afternoon matinee
there was q large attendance Of ladies and children,

the general average claims on the cargo. The ship
was sold in Hamburg by order Of a court Of ad-
miralty. and brought 10000 marks, or less than
$1,000, and average claim on the cargo amounted
to about ~S70O0.-making u total covered by The

and commissions must be deducted. The bond
was fortunately sold by The Honolulu holders 10

Botlomery securities, for advance on which high
premiums are Justly demanded.
