Australian Squadron.

The flagship Royal Arthur, accompanied by H.M. shi p a, Mildura, Wallaroo, and Pacebe, sailed from Sydney for Melbourne on" December Brd. An exchange says Iboy presented a fine sight as they proc jeied ia siagle lioo' order down the harbor. The departure for Melbourne was a portion of ah extended cruise covering five month a," daring which time Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and New Zealand will be visited. The fleet was duo at Melbourne on the 6tb, and was to ramaid in Hob; on’s Bay until 21st inst, when a departure was to be taken for v Hobart. Christmas and the Now Tear -■ will be* spent there, and the squadron wilt r sail on January 25th for Port Lincoln, tSouth Australia, arriving there on January 29tb. Port L’nooln will be left on February, sth for Adelaide, an arrival being made at the South Australian crpital on the next day, where the warships will remain to February 11th, when they sail for New Zealand- The programme in New Zealand waters is as follows Arrive at Lyttelton March Ist, leave \ March Bth; arrive at Wellington March 9tb, calling at Pioton, Pelorbus Sound, and Nelson, leaving the latter part March 81st; arrive Auckland Apr|h 4th, caliing at Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands, a departure being finally taken • on April 30th for Sydney, where the squadron is timed to arrive on May sth, •1002... The Ophir Tbs E.M.B. Ophir, so well known by name throughout the world, left Portsmouth on November sth for Tilbury Docks, where the luxuriously appointed fittings specially introduced for the purpose of the royal tour wore to be removed, and the vessel prepared for the resump. ‘ tiou of her.brdinaty employment as one of the Orient-Parlac Company’s line of fast mail and passenger,/ steamships. Thus this famous boat, now divested of her temporary tide %sonc of his Majesty’s

ships, comes under the red ensign once again, after performing a voyage which is likely to prove in many respects memorable, and which is absolutely unique- in the history of the British menSmtile marine. The Ophir steamed in all no fewer than 37,000 miles, or one and-a-half times the circumference of the globe, and this prolonged cruise she performed without a hitch from start to finish. She carried out the whole of her engagements with a punctuality which railway companies might envy, and often with ample time to spare. Her average ocean speed was 15 knot o , but on occasion—as, for instance, between Malta and Port Said—she proceeded at a rate of between 17 and 18 knots. On her voyage the vessel consumed a total of 14,200 tons of coal, all of which, save that taken on board at Vincent —the only foreign possession touched at was obtained at various ports of the Empire.

SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTIEX, TRACT-—Under the distinguished patr om of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per ona munication made by the Minister forfForcign Affairs, through the Consul-General or Italyat Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883Acknowledged by Mdical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extrac in the market, products of simple distillation forming crude, resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for our pursolatile Eucalypti Extract, which is recognise by the Medical Division of the Prussian Goernment to be of perfectly pure origin, as per□formation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we vtata: —

It is proved by tests made by the Medica Clinics of the Universities of Bonn and Griefswald (Prussia), and reported to by Dr Schultz Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mossier, Director of the Medical Clines at Griefswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids resinous and other substances adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualifies proper to the plant. All crude oils or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are to be classed according to the named authorilJ is, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. T 1 cse crude oil, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:

1. By their deficiency in pungent odor Iwhioh our product, the only genuine Eusa ypti Extract, develops most freely, througn ts surplus oxygen.) 2. By their alcoholic, thin, and mobile ap pearance, being reduced to specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of contract ing tendency of resins and tanats. If these crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, dipthoria, internal inflammation, dyaentry, etc., the consequences are most appalling.
