THE OPENING OF MADAGASCAR TO EUROPEAN ENTERPRISE. Dr. Sandwith writes to tlie " Times," poii ing out the importance of taking advant'i of the manifest good feeling of the new Ki of Madagascar towards the English. T particulars with regard to the King's invif tion to the Governor of Mauritius, and tl despatch of a congratulatory embassj' them are already before otir readers. The advai tage to Mauritius and Bourbon of a friend! end liberal sovereign at Madagascar, are enoi moiifr; -for hitherto the supplies of the: Islands, which produced almost nothing hi sugar, hn.ve been derived from the distai continents of India, South Africa, Australi: and Europe, while little beyond tough bci has been imported from Madagascar. Fro: Mr. Ellis's book we learn that tcn..turkej can be purchased in the latter country for on dollar, while I can, from my persona! know ledge, vouch for the usual price of a turkey f the Mauritius being £3. Let us hope, ther that the tables of our rich little sugar colon; may groan with cheap plenty. But to tli scientific man and the naturalist this ne\ country offers a field such as has not beei opened since Captain Cook's discoveries Ther exist in its forests and inland lakes animal which may create a greater sensation whei discovered than even the gorilla, if, indeed some rival monster ape he not captured to as tonish our citizens. We have already in th< Britisli Museum the cart of eggs as large, i not larger, than the human head, the originals of which, taken from the bank of a Madagascar river, are now in a Museum in Paris Indeed, some sanguine naturalists hope yet t( discover in the island the original roc of tin " Arabian Nights." An entire order of animals—the lemurs—are only found in Madagascar, one variety of which—the aye-aye—i; actually the aquadrumatous rodent, or monkey beaver. The vegetable productions an marvellous in their beauty, among which ma} be mentioned the magnificent orchid angracum sesquipede and the ouvirandafenestralis or lace-leafed plant. The dyes, gums, anc medical plants are of great value and variety while the unworked mineral treasures are immense.
