Next year. ->f course, Alelbourne will be duly lauded as th chief shrine for pilgrims; but Messrs, t'ouk aud Sun's operations will extend to other aMs of Australia, as the circular tickets issued in Loudon for the A ictorian Exhibition will embrace tours in one or more of the neighboring colonies, including New Zealand and Tasmania. To ensure a large clientele Mr. Sruythe, as manager of the Australian business, will doubthc-s deem it advisable to see that the public of Europe aud America are well posted up as to the charming and varied attractions which Australasia has to offer to the tourist ; and in his negotiations with the different Colonial Governments, steamship companies, and other public bodies, we trust he will obtain similar concessions and facilities to those which have been granted to his principals both in the Old and New World. Captain Sands, of the schooner Pauline Collins, reports a frightful story from St. Lawrence Island, in the Behring Sea. Almost the entire population of the south-eastern end of the island has perished of starvation. A party landed from the Collins and were horrified to find 250 corpses in one field. Tbe living had carried the dead atvay from the huts, until at length, overcome themselves, they in turn died in the huts, and so remained. Everywhere the scene was frightful. One little girl the captain speaks of seeing stiff in death, with her head restiug on her hand, while the body leaned over the remains of a whale. Captaid Sands attributes the starvation to rum. Nearly every “trader” goes to the Arctic loaded with it, and so long as the liquor lasts the natives will not go fishing. Then it is too late, and starvation follows. On the northwest end of the island about 200 natives are still alive. He says that revenue steam-cutters are of no use to stop this traffic. The “ traders” see the smoke and get out of the way, or get rid of their contraband liquors before they can bo reached. A sailing vessel of a hundred qons, he says, could end the traffic.

London.—Advt Holloway's Pills ate the medicine most in re pute for curing the multifarious maladies which attack humanity, when wet and cold weather gives place to more genial temperatures. In short, these pills afford relief, if they fail of being an absolute remedy in all the disturbances of circulation, digestion, and nervous energy, which at limes oppress a vast portion of the population. Under the wholesome, purifying, and strengthening powers exerted by these excellent pills, the tongue becomes clean, the appetite improves, digestion is quickened, and assimilation rendered perfect.
