A LONDON Telegram, dated March 3rd, to Aus
tralia, states that the p. NJ. s. Co. intend to put on
a line of steamers between Great Britain and Aus
tralia uia the Cape of Good Hope. II such be the
case, we think it high time for them to change
their name! A cross steamer from the Cape to the
River Plate would then be a further extension of
their enterprise, we think, in a profitable direc-
ton.

THE EASTER FESTIVAL was observed by all the
Foreign Churches of this city, each in its chosen

the English Episcopal equalling in impressiVeness

Aid-de-camp to His Excellency Sir Arthur Gordon
