It is not at all surprising."- that the uneducated beliejred some .men to bear charmed lives, I when we reiiiember Napoleon at, the bridge ofj Lodi, and- again at Arcoht, where, it is set down in history, the Austrian artillery swept off (every body but himself with'in a circle where ho was standing, yet he led tHe ; way across the bridge unharmed though the grape rattled in a per-' feet hail storm around him.'

Short ' Time . to Australia. The line of steamships between Australia and ' Calilornia has now been established for a suffi cient" length of tiuie to enable parties most in terested to form some estimate of the results and of the -probable consequences hercifter. The Philadelphia3 Inquirer says that the timo betweien Auckland and can! rancisco was, on tho occasion of the first trip in May last," thirty-one days, and in sixteen days more it was estima ted that passengers and light freight could be carried to London.' Forty-seven days from Aus tralia to England is a shorter tiino than can be made between tho sanio, countries by tho. Suez route, which, occupies, on tha average, about fifty-five days, so that fully a week would bo trained bv taking the-'American root : but tho, time has already 'been reduced between Sau J Francisco and-Aiickhind, and tho Australians ' believe thatl the trip to London, by way of the ' Pacific Ocean, the Central Pacific Railroad, anu its congeners ar d the' Atlantic Ocean can bo made inVfurty-'one days,' thus ' actually 6avin two weeks. . Telegrams from England by the way of San-Francesco, tliy yet hope tp receive in twenty days which would bo a vast advantage, because there is no telegraphic communicatioua with London except through Mediterranean ports, and the time saved will not be,uear so much. " Thus by Railroad and telegraph wo have the advantage io this country, and that isx a matter of the utmost importance to trade as well as'to passengers. To the latter ia also to be offered a much more pleascnt passage than can be oltained from AustrdU by any oth:r means.; v If 'they navigate the Indian Ocean and he Red Sea the entire voyao is frauth with discomfort in conseriuence of the great' he it, and .likewiso tho waut of needful accommoda tions on the steamers'. 1 .-..'"-; If they go by the Panama route the disadvan tage is equally great, and tho dangers from fevers in crossing the Isthmus is not to bo dis pised. But by the steamships which go to Cali fornia there is more comfort, a cooler atmosphere,, and tlie monotony of the trip is varied by an ex cursion acrsss a great continent, which is rcplcto with objects of the utmost interest and curiosity to a stranger. Passage by the Atlautio steamers is also of great importance to ono who likes com fort and health. They arc "finely managed, and Are; in fact, floating palaces. Tho jesult of this new means of communication to Australia must be to Americaniz6 It. It has hitherto been the most througly English of all the British Colonies, it has been -so isolated from the world that it 1ms been Walled off from improvement, and if it had not been for the gold discoveries thcrc.it would tb-day have been in ho better condition than when its most important station was at Botany Bay. It only wants to be waked up to Ameri can ideas, to be indoctrinated in the spirit , of American progress ; to throw oil its British no tions and to become ambitious and prosperous. ; Australia is by nature so far out of the ordinary liiio of commerce, and so little attractivehaturally, that, as a British colony, she could never occupy other than a; semi commercial position. Her productions ore only of value, in . proportion to. the facilities : by . which they can bo sent to, hose parts of the world where they will com mand good prices,' She is so far distant from EurojK!. Asia and America that it is doubly im portant tKher that she should have facility of com niuniea thn. Henco steamship advantnges with the UnitedNiates are to her of incxprcssi: ble value. ; TUE TWO PuINCe" AVIIXIAMS OP PhussiA. As some confusion may are between thesQ a two lrinces, both prominent ofecers and corps commanders, it may be useful to again describe them. ' ' ' . , . . Frederick William is the Crown Prince, and onlyjson aud heir.of .William I., jnow King of Prussia. He was born in 1831, and in 185G married Queen Victoria's eldest daughter. He distinguished himself, at Sadowa, and by hitj timely arrival saved the battle. 1 Prince Fredenek. Charles is a nephew of the King. He is forty-two years of,age, and ranks' with the first military generals of tho ago. It is said he forced the Sadowa flight, risking the juuetion of his cousin the Crown Prince," who came up in time to gaiu the victory.- IIq is considered as having as much military ability as any officer in Germany, though all deference is paid to Frederick William as heir apparent, who possesses quite a fair share of warlike prowess, he yields to his cousin Frederick Charles. , It will help the reader to understand that thq Prussian forces, of the Xorth are uulcr General Steinmetz. who commands the Eighth and Ninth Corps. The arniy-of the centre is under Fred erick Charles, ' consisting of tho Second. Third, Fourth and' Twelfth Corps. Tho ariny of the", South is under Frederick William, consisting of the Fifth ' Corps, Royal Guards and tho South Germans.'- ? ' l'' ' " ' ' ' V SCHOOL NOTICE. ". T The exercises 6f the School of Rev.
