It is reported that the Easternfs crvico via Torres Straits will bo commenced, by the new company in September. The attempt to resuscitate the project of a steam service to Melbourne, via the cape of Good Hope, has proved a failure. A meeting of Victorians was held ou tho Monday succoding last mail day to exchange views on the subject, but the attendance was neither large or influential, and there was little agreement among the speakers, except upon one point, that they would give no sup port to the Anglo-Australian Stt-am Company, and the only business of the meeting was to pass a barren resolution, allirming the desira bility of establishing monthly steamers capa ble of performing the voyage'in from 42 to 45 days.

Viscount Canterbury has! been, appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. The screw' corvette Pearl, 10 guns, has been commissioned at Portsmouth by Capt. Goodenongh, for the Australian station. _ The Queen has presented Queensland with six splendid red deer, selected from the great herd of Windsor Park. Tlie-present consists of two bucks and four hinds ; the latter twelve i months old. They have been despatched to the Marquis of Normandy by the new clipper ship Great Queceslaud, bound for Brisbane.

On the 21st May upwards of 500 persons, including. the resident gentry, were enter tained at Shanklin, Isle of Wight, at a banquet consisting chiefly of Australian meats. Three spacious marquess were erected near tho Medina Hotel. The ex cellent viands, and the effective speeches that followed, combined to produce a happy impression on the guests. But tho advance in the prices of Australian meat during the last six months is telling prejudicially upon the market; and .the trade is visibly .declining. The deliveries diminish weekly. ' And several tenders for public establishments have been lost through the high prices.. English butchers have, in fact, beaten the Australian moat preservers. The Australian Colonies Customs Bill, which provoked no comments in its passage through the Commons, has twice given rise to debates in the Lords. This did not, how ever, prevent the passing of the second read ing on the 15 th May. In committee on this bill, Earl Grey moved an amendment excepting New Zealand from the provisions of the bill. He concluded that Free Trade, having been adopted by us, is binding upon all the Parliaments of the Em pire ; but the general feeling amongst our statesmen is, that the colonies having re ceived the power of taxing themselves", their liberty to blunder and suffer must also be fully conceded. : The exemption of New Zea land was vigorously opposed by Lord Lisgar (Sir John Young), Lord Belmore, and Lord Kimberloy j and Earl Grey's motion was negatived without division The bill has since received the Royal assent.

The destruction of the Alexandra Palace, at Hornsly, so soon after its successful in. auguration, produced universal consternation and grief. The lire broke out in tho roof of the dome, between 12 and 1 o'clock. About 500 visitors had arrived ; and if the fire had occurred two hours later, when the conceit would have been on, hundreds must have perished. Two persons lost their lives in a noble attempt to do thoir duty; and several sus tained serious injuries. Among the principal sufferers by the lire are Messrs Bertram and Roberts, refreshment contractors; Messrs De Fres, whoso glass and crystal rarities, includ «ing a candelabrum worth £2000, were de stroyed. Numerous stall-keepers also lost everything. One hundred ballet girls lost their .costumes. The organs,.in struments, music, boots, orchestra, con cert-room, and printing-office.' were utterly consumed. The valuable pictures, which had been lent for the adornment of the Hall, were snatched from the flames. The directors have resolved to re build the palace. Meanwhile a horse-show aud fetes will be held on the grounds. Multitudes flock to Muswell.Hill, to see the ruins.

The Exhibition Commissioners are willing to lease the ground for the ere.tion of a Colonial Court for 21 years, at a nominal rent. The estimaced worth of the ground is £1500 a year.

The new building will cost about £25,000. The committee representing the colonies, consisting of Sir Francis Smith, Messrs Child ers, Daintree, and Hoey, have had very satisfactory epmmunications with the Com missioners

The Colonial Church Bill, introduced by Lord Blachford, has been read a second time, and referred to a select committee. ■ The bill proposes to repealthq complicated legislation affecting the status of bishops in self-govern ing colonies, and to define their ecclesiastidal position and functions. It provides also for the application of ecclesiastical trust property. The inclusion of Irish and Scotch churches in the provisions of the bill was strenuously opposed. y The new Roman Catholic Archbishop co adjutator of Sydhey- leaves England in November next. He preaches before a Synod of English Bishops during June. After, two months' delay Sir C. Gavan Duffy .was gazetted for the order of knight hood. The Times, in commenting on his acceptance of the .dignity, thinks it as not undeserved, deals gently with his earlier antecednts, and remarks orf the phenomenon that Irishmen succeed everywhere better than at home. It is also hinted that Sir Charles was nob handsomely treated by Lord Can terbuey in the refusal of the dissolution he applied for. .-..■... v.. . ~_

INDIA AND THE EAST.

A scheme to Connect' Calcutta with Lon den by railway is proposed by M. Lesseps. It is to psss through Russian territory. The settlement of the Zanzibar difficulty has given great satisfaction. Indian subjects are warned against engaging in the slave trade. /

The proposal for a ship canal through the pass or strait of Paumbun has been revived. It will facilitate communication between Cay lon and India. The cost is estimated at £49,000, and it is lively to be carried out.: Chinese coalfields are attracting attention. The Mikado's palace and '500 houses at Os ika, Japan, have been destroyed by fire. The enquiry into the loss of the steamer Leith has resulted ii^ the suspension of the chief officer's certificate for,eighteen months: The captain was a!so censured. A scheme for a railway»to connect Calcutta and London, proposed by Baron Lesseps, is exciting great attention in India. The wife of Governor Gregory died at Kandy from an attack of dysentery, caught while on a visit to the ruin, of Anavad hapoora. /- ■ The disturbed and rebellious provinces in China have been reduced to submission to th j Imperial Government for the time. Dr. Spalding, an American Missionary of fifty 3 ears' residence, died at Jaffau. The engineer of the Colombo breakwater has arrived, and the works will be com menced immediately.,,. The Chinese coal-fields are attracting great attention, and companies are being formed to woi'k them.

TTOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT Scorbutic Eruptions.'as Sore Heads andScrofuloiit Sviellings. —lf this powerful Ointment be well rnbbey into the parts affected all "skin disease will be speedild. overcome. It acts not by repression, but repulsion. It enters the system as salt enters nieatj and operate!' not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the' whole system, neutralizing, all depraved humour, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pillj should be taken as an auxiliary to the Ointm_nt, «'■ they are so prepared as to act in unison with it facilitating and confirming the conquest ofthe disease. Diptheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Quinsey.—Tiit . ' above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. ' The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases are mors easily cured by these medicines than even the common soro throat, if' taken in time. . .;-.■ The Kidneys, Stone and Gravel. —ln these complainti the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro* viding it is very effectually nibbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost ' immediate relief, while the Pills should, be taken according to the printed directions, when, the most-i ■ extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. .":! Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and ' Glandular Swellings. —ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic.

In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsicai patient will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick , and perseverance in the steady application of this famous Ointment invariably results __''' a ' cure. They act • with such energy on the circulation and absorbent system that the dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive, symptoms daily decline till natural health returns. ' Gout and Rheumatism may be cured with the-! greatest certainty if large quantities of the Ointment. , be well worked into the complaining parts, and this , perseveringly done for some time. It is no use to smear.it on the skin only, it must be got into the ' system. Take as many Pills nightly as will act two or • ■■■■ three times during the 24 hours; gchew the use of . coffee, and all stimulants. When these complaints aro leaving the system the virulence ol the complaint ' frequently seems to increase. . .. :'-!vy Indiscretion of Youth. —Sores, ulcers, and swellings , can with certainty be cured, if this Ointment be thoroughly rubbed all round the complaining parts " twice or thrice a day, keeping them' covered with lin.n rag spfead with the same.l ~,!j ' The Pills must be taken according to the printed , directions.
