Sydnet Botanicaei Gabden.—The Botanical ...
Sydnet BoTANicAEi Gabden . —The Botanical Garden of the town is greatly resorted to , especially by the more genteel portion of the community , where they can Study and admire , not only the indigenous flowers , plants , and shrubs of JNTew Holland , but also those of most other countries . There are many beautiful varieties of tropical flowers and plants tastefully laid out in ornamental beds , upon grassy lawns , -which are kept in excellent order , and furnished with rustic seats , to accommodate the -weary . AJ 1 the indigenous trees are evergreen . The palm , the banana , and the Norfolk pine , are here Been in great luxuriance . The latter is very striking and remarkable , throwing out lateral branches at regular intervals , and assuming the character of the
beautiful cypress . The British oak , -with its peculiar leaves , is not to be mistaken by those who have seen it in perfection . ; but here it is of stunted growth . The weeping -willows gracing these beautiful grounds are greatly to be admired . There are many pleasant walks , about the garden and domain . The promenade leading to LadyMacquarrie ' s « hair , which is hewn out of a rock , affords the pedestrian one of the pleasantest rambles he could desire , in addition to a resting-place where he can from this lady ' s seat , feast his eyes upon the vessels and boats studding the different beautiful bays that indent the harbour in almost every direction . Here he may sit and , perchance , fancy himself in fairy-land , until he ia awoke from his reverie by the cheerful voice of some passers-by . —The Draper in Australia .
A Baiiway Journey in India .. —That brief whistle , that strong silent pull that gradual glide , that monotonous rattle , have nothing in them , here in the plains of Bengal , to distinguish them from the same sounds and sensations so often experienced amid the factories of Lancashire , the red cliffs and blue" sounding -waves of South Devon , the vine-bearing plains of France , the rugged passes of Styria , the tropical hills of Havannah , or the wild jungle of Western America . The train travels at a late varying from fifteen to twenty miles an hour . About every eight miles occurs a station with some uncouth name . " We lookout as we pass one of these . The long straight line of iron rail still retains its familiar look of civilization , but all its circumstances have
become entirely Onenial . The station is a little white bungalow , with green open doors ; its name " Hooghly , " 13 written in those three characters which suggests at every turn to the most careless traveller tie strange fate of India ; the English plain , business-like capital letters , looking as if they were conscious of belonging to the conquering people ; the graceful Persian curling from right to left , emblematic of the politeness , the facile dexterity , perhaps , too , of the intrigue and instability , of Central Asiatics , powerful enough to impress on a susceptible people a manner which makes every peasant of Hindostan more or less a gentleman , but unable to cope with the plain , honest force which is represented by the Roman
capitals ; and lastly , the mystical Bengalee , the vernacular of the province , closely allied to every vernacular tongue all over India , which here , at the Hooghly station , ia read by thousands ; while of the two conquering languages one is > read by hundreds , the other by units ; the language of the conquered million , yet containing in it the roots of more than half the words spoken by conquering English , close akin to the ancient Sanscrit , that source beyond which the stream of human language has not yet been traced . But the train moves on , and , so far as it is concerned , the conquering English has it all its own way . The ancient Sanscrit is still represented by every one of the dull objects ' which meet the traveller ' s eye . The
ungraceful palm , so strangely associated in European minds with Oriental beauty ; the green , melancholy plain ; the occasional glimpses of the yellow , sluggish , corpsebearing river—these are the witnesses to the fact—so strange , yet so forgotten—that where the English steamengine now travels , there , just one century ago , the Nawab of Bengal -was marching down on Calcutta to perpetrate the Black Hole massacre—that tragedy from which the Anglo-Indian empire took its birth . Hero , centuries ago , the Hindoo walked and sat and smoked , worshipping his god Permanence , even as he walks and aits and smokes and worships the same god to-day . — Fraserai' Magazine .

. '¦ ¦ ¦ ' ? " " London , Friday Evening , January 9 , 1857 . Thbee lias been no particular feature worthy of remark in the _ English funds during the past week , Consols having remained almost stationary at 94 to 94 J . Tho settling , which took place yesterday ( Thursday ) , has passed off satisfactorily . Th . e contango for carrying over to the February account was 7-16 to i per cent ., which is at the rate of 5 i to 6 per cent , per annum . The Banlc books opened for private transfer iu Consols on the 6 th . The Bank directors bave to-day taken a very unexpected step m raising the rate for loans on stock from 6 to 6 ^ per cent . This has caused Consols to droop a little ; they Leave off 93 B 94 for money , and 94 j 94 i for the 5 th February account . A statement was made in more than one of tno daily journals to-day to the effect that a member of the Stock . Exchange had absconded , a warrant having boon issued against Mm for forging a power of attorney to sell 5501 . Consols , and also of obtaining money to a largo amount on spurious shares purporting to represent certificates of the Peel River Company shares . That these frauds have been perpetrated , is true ; but that tho offender is a member of the Stock Exchange , is entirely false .
