      MISCELLANEOUS . Australian Discoveries . — According to 'the : last , advices from Australia , Captain Cadell , by whom the river Murray to Albury , and the river Murrumbidgee to Gundagai ( from 1 , 800 to 2 , 000 miles from the mouth of tlie-Murray ) , was opened up , had successfully availed himself of a favourable opportunity for exploring the Darling . Gn the 24 th of January last , in his steamer Albury , accompanied by Sir Richard SrDonnell , Governor of South Australia , and party , lie left Moorunclee , on the Murray , and a short distance above Lake Victoria the Darling was

      entered . With but little difficulty the steamer reached a pointabove Mount Murcliispn , that being the ven-e of the country that is stocked . As the water in the river was falling rapidly , it would not have been safe to ascend further ; but at a future period Captain Cadeil hopes to take his steameiv up to the junction with the river Barwan , above Fort Bourkc . When Captain Sturt and Sir Thomas Mitchell visited the Darling near Mount Murchison they found it almost a chain of water-holes . The Albury got back to Moorundee on the 15 th of Februarv , all well . , _ . _ . ..

      Tunkisii Wit . —From the LevantHerald we extract the following mild joke , from which it would seem that the works of Mr . Joseph Miller are not altogether Unknown among the faithful : — " day Nasr-ed-Din Khodjri . ascending the pulpit began : 'Oh ! ye Faithful , do 3-011 know what I am goint ? to preach to you ? ' ' No , Khodja Eflfendi , ' answered the audience , ' we do not . *— 'Ah ! well , ' said Khodja , ' then if you do not know , what shall I tell you ? ' Another day , again going up into the pulpit , he said : ' Oh ! Iilussulraen , do you not know what is to be the subject of my discourse ? ' 'We know , ' they all answered at once . — ' Very well , '

      said the Khodja , ' since you know it , there is no necA for niy telling it you , ' and then descended from the pulpit and went " away . The audience , astonished at the conduct of the " preacher , decided unanimous j' that next time the ono p : irfc should answer ? we-know , ' the others ' we do not know . ' The Khodja made his appearance for the third time , and again began with , * Oh ! ray brethren ! do you know Sviiiit I am about to tell you ? ' As agreed upon , part of the audience answered . 'We know , ' -the others , 'We do' nrtt know . '— : ' Very well , ' said the Khotlja , then let those of you who do know instruct those wh o do not know . ' "

      Tlaix Speakisg . — TJie aow ' York papers report a mooting of democratic republican electors in Tammany Hall , at which Senator A . G . Brown , of Mississippi , in pronouncing for the acquisition of Cuba , remarked , "I want Cuba for the extension of slavery , and let all the dirty abolition crew understand it . If Cuba were to come to us as a free territory , and a free territory alone , then my courage would very much ooze out at the . points , of ray

      fingers . " The sanie speaker delivered himself of oven a bolder avowal . He said , " lam a pro-slavery man . I believe that slavery is of divine origin—( applause)—that Go 1 decreed it from the foundation of the world— - ( renewed applause )—that the African race from their creation , wore doomed to be slaves to the white man —( continued applause )—and my impression is that every one of you would be better off if he had a negro to wait upon him . " And here , says the report , " three ; cheors for Brown were given with great energy . " ' '

      llov . u . College off Surgeons . — The new S 3 stcm of examining nnndidntes for the diploma of membership of this Colloge , determined upon by the Council , has co : no into operation . By its aid it is hoped th , at the acquirements of the candidates who offer themselves for examination will bo more ' efficiently tested than heretofore , and it is especially sought to discountenance tho plan of " cramming , " i , c , substituting the mere catechetical instruction of ji grinding tutor for the Study of tho fundamental principles of tho art of surgery in tho dissecting-room and in the wards ' of tho 'hospital . Tho student is . now required , in tho Jirst plapcy to prove that ho has pi * ncticnlly

      studied anatomy , by an ( . 'Nn . n 1 ljut . 10 n uipi > n the dead body , and 611 anothor < ljiy hu lias to furnish written answers to questions in ' physiology , or tho functions of the economy . These two tests , which uro termed tho " preliminary examination , " cannot bo submitted to until tho stud out has furnished proof that ho has completed two years' stuly in a modicul school reqognisod by tho College , as oilbring duo guarantees of boing ablo to conduct t \ n oinuiont oducation . After ho has passed four yours in such study of llifl profession ho nniy present himself for the two final or pass examinations in pathology and surgery , the ono oral , the othor written .

      Puui . io IIJSAr / nJt . —Tlioro was an incronso of 134 in tlio number of deaths last week , but tho health of tho metropolis is relatively in a hoalthy state , tlio deaths boing ( 15 undor the urernge . Tho total number of deaths wn . 3 1 , 201 , and of births 1 , 837 . 35 r . Lotlioby again roporo favourably of tho health of tho Oir > y .

      Court of Aldermen .- ^ -At the sitting e Court on Tuesday-, a letter was read from Alderman iFarneomb resigning his office on account of declining health . The resignation was accepted , and a vote of thanks , acknowledging his long and faithful services , passed . When the vote was being taken on the question of who should be the new governor of Holloway Prison , Sir It . Muggeridge refused to vote , The Iiord Mayor declared that he . must vote , and he was accordingly compelled to do so . Alderman Gabriel was then called upon to vote , and he gave a point blank and determined refusal , whereupon the Lord Mayor insisted that he should vote , and an angry differed from the

      scene ensued . The Town Clerk Lord Mayor on the point of law , but his lordship ¦ threatenel to have the alderman ' s name entered upon the journal , as guilty of contempt of court . Alderman Wilson moved that Alderman Gabriel should be committed into the custody of the Serjeant-at-Arms , and the Lord Mayor said that if the Court gave its assent he should at once order the officers to net upon the resolution ; however , the motion did not find a seconder . The voting was completed , and proved in favour of Mr . Weatherhead , who , having resigned the governorship of Newgate , was-formally appointed to his new office .

      Zoological Novelties . —A passenger by the Tyne brought with him a curious animal from the Uruguay iliver , in South America . It is called a carpincho . It is a young animal , and about , the size of a small dog . It is amphibious , and has webbed feet . Carpinchos are found in considerable numbers in the muddy creeks of the Uruguay . They bark something like a fox , and have the back part of-the lower joint of the hinder legs horned , which enables them to sit like a kangaroo . The

      old carpinchos have tusks similar to a boar . . They eat grass , and are very fond of the sugar cane . The one on board tlie Tyne ate bananas . The muzzle is very curious , being of a large oval shape and humid , like the muzzle of horned cattle . Th

      beautiful young toucans from Para . To Some Honours are Given — to Others Honour . — " One of tho Million " writes to the Daily News ' us follows : — " When an empire was reeling to its fall , a mighty man kept his head clear and his arm strong- ;¦ thus was India steadied —saved . I am speaking of John Laird Mair Lawrence . For his pre-eminent share in the quenching the terriblest conflagration of modern times , Lord Derby dubbed the ruler of the Punjaub , Baronet the ilded

      and G . C . 13 . More peers are to grace ' g chamber . ' Lord Derby ennobles three very rich Tories , most respectable squires , very ardent foxhunters ; but about whose public services , native talents , and intellectual acquirements , even flunkeydom is mute . Where is the justice of all this ? Is tho salvation of ¦ English dominion in the East a small matter compared with the accidental heritage of 1 considerable borough interest , ' much lucre , and exceeding many broad acres ? Answer me this , mv Lord Derby . "

      " The English inRome . —A letter from Home says 5—" The ' Easter' has not yet passed ; what is called tho ' Season' is virtually over in Rome ; for things are altogether changed since I first knew tho Eternal City . Tho ' Season' must now be understood as meaning what is . meant-by the season in every fashionable place of winter resort in England ov elsewhere . It is made up of a round of perpetual and expensive visiting . A club and a pack of hounds arc considered absolutely necessary to existence hero ; and while tho frivolities of the London season and country sports are , by a strange mixture , found mingled up together , and absorb tho entire attention of visitors , tho higher objects for which persons might bo supposed to visit this interesting and wonderful city seem to bu comparatively neglected . 4 I remember , said n friend whoso high literary merit is acknowledged by all tho world , ' that some years

      ago there was u simplicity in tho habits and nmnncrof English society which contrasts strongly with its px'oscnt condition . We wcro then invited to take toa with ouch othor j wo aro now invited to champagne suppers , afcor rising from dinnor betwoon eight and nino o ' clock . This nmy bo more tho custom of a bud stylo of people ; still Roman society , or English society in Roino , is revolutionised , nnd not for tho better . I have made tho round of many studios , both of sculptors and painters , and have thoro hoard similar observations made , and have ¦ wntchod tho efluct of this change upon nrfi YVq novor had so fo \ v commissions as wo liavo had this year , though Homo was novor so full , ' is tho universal complaint . Tlioro aro somo of tho most eminent mun in their professions who haw not rociolvod oven a single commission—a fact which , tukon in connoxlon with tho number of ¦ visitors , tho wealth displayed cuul expendod , indicates n decline of that

      high tone of taste and feeling which marked our own countrymen in particular . I do not deny but that crowds flock to the studios , and affoct to admire what they do not understand or appreciate ; but they do it because Murray tells them ' . to do it . Yet facts prove that few are they who are eager to become possessor * of any of these creations of' , Or who would sacrifice a luxury to enable them to do so . I am a severe censor , you will say , on my countrymen , but facts will bear me out . " Public Drinking Fountains . —A meeting was held on Tuesday , at Willis ' s Rooms , under the presidency of the Earl of Carlisle , of the association which has recently been formed for promoting tlie establishment of drinking fountains in the metropolis . The Earl of Shaftesbury , Lord J . Russell , Earl Ducie , the Earl of Albcmarle , and other noblenien and gentlemen , were present , and several of them addressed the meeting on behalf of the society . The result was a very liberal subscription , arid there is every prospect of the beneficial and . philanthropic objects " of the society being fully carried out . Geologist ' s Association . —At the meeting held at 5 , Cavendish-square , on Monday , Mr . Hyde Clarke , V . P ., in the chair , sixteen members were elected , and the Rev .. T .. Wiltshire ,. M . A ., read a paper on the peculiar formation of the red chalk which underlies the white chalk , and which , is only known in England , where it crops out at Specton , in Yorkshire , and Hunstanton , in Norfolk . Boulders of it are , however , found in that curious bed of drift oh Mnswell-liiil . Professor Tenuant , Mr . S . J , jMackie , and Mr . Weatherall took part in tlie discussion . The latter stated that tlie red chalk drift was very scanty at Muswell-hill and Finchlcy , and appeared to have come from Hunstanton , by the fossils and deeper red colour . The drift is mixed up with granite from Norway , gneiss , &c .
