Hose Koiic, May the 8~I.—'l'lie weather has been line since the departure of the last mail. The health of the troops is genera ly good, no particulsrdisease prevailing in the garrison. There have been as many as seven deaths, hows ser. 'l‘lie 59th Regiment has only lost five men since the last of January. 'l‘he health of the civil cominuniiy is generally good too, the smallpox appearing to have left us entirely.

Loss or run Ainaori.—Professcr Graham has presented a chemical report to the Board of Trade, on Ilie cause of the burning of I a ship Amazon, in -which, after investigating the evidence on the subject, he comes to the conclusion that the origin of the fire must remain a matter of s ulation and con- jecture. fledoes not think lhatii originate in the spontaneous combustion of the coals, because they were Wclsh—which are not remarkable for this property, and were shipped in a dry and dusty stale. Hi conceives that the sudden and werful burst of flame from the store-room which occurred at I e outset ofIlie'contlagrsiion is strongly suggestive ofilie presence ofa volatile combustible. such as turpentine ; which, according to two witnesses, was in the store-rc'om, iliough this is denied by a third. Professor Graham found on’ trial that the vapour given 08' by oil of turpentine is ruflicienil dense, at a icin- persture somewhat below ll0 deg, to ma e air explosive on the approach ofa light.

Via Singapore, Adoluidc journals have been received to the middle of Mn . Several recent in.-taiiccs have occurred of foot- pnils snacking persons iiflcr dark for the purpose of pluudcr.

Miiny score men without a fiiriliing in their pockets ave been ill-treated, but they occusionnlly secure a good prize. Such a suite of iliinga has induced the nuilioriiies to augment ihe olice force. Conuideriible difficulty is experienced from the pnucily of silver coin. and to meet the exigencies of the case, it was suggested that one of the banking companies should issue five and Icn shilling notes, which would be readily adopted by the community; and it was believed, that Ilia destruction of notes which inviiri.-ibl results from a small note circulation would justify the expense an Iroublu incurred by issuing notes of smull'value.

Morton not only bearing the very highest character in the United States, but being also the pro- jecior of the E. 8: N. A. Railroad, has the greatest interest in its being successfully carried out.

We are informed that Mr. Campbell is a son of the late Sir Donald Campbell, Governor of Prince Edward Island.

It will require halfnceulury more of uninterrupted agricultural exertion. before we are able to afford a surplus population for prosecuting successfully ihe Fislieries on an extensive scale. It may be perhaps sound policy in a great and growing niilion like the United States of America, anxiouslo keep a supply of sailors for an increasing Navy, to give large bounties upon the catch of fish, but in a small government like ours, ii is taking money out of the pockets of farmers to put it inloihal of fishermen. or rather Iliose who supply fisliermen without any correspondent advantage. On the other hand, if Ilie extensive line of the American Coast is open in us-if a telegraphic communication with all its ports of importance is established- as we are informed it is about to bc—our farmers will no longer have occasion to complain of the want ofa market, and the consequence is certain and unavoidable, an increase of population and wealth is sure to be ihe result, and when every acre of land available for cultivation, is made to produce the most that it will bear, then indeed the surplus population may fiirn their attention to the wealth lhal is contained in the waters by which we are surrounded, and their no bouuties or other extraneous encouragement will be necessary.
