In European cs itals, ice is not only an article ofaniusement ut of trade. Who has not heard of the delights of the sleigh, galloping over ice and snow at the rate of twenty miles an hour ? Then there is the Russian version of the ice palace on the Nova, built at the ' e of prince Giilitzin with ice masonry that blunted all chisels, ice chairs, ice din -table, and ice cannons that fired liempen ulletr An iuimence quantity of ice is consumed in Russian housekee ing; throughout the sum- mer, ices are sold in the streets ofevery Russian town; and not on! iced wine, iced . beer,Ibut iced tea is drunk in immense quan- titles.

In St. etersbu no there are said to be ten thousand ic ouses, and it may easly be supposed that to fill all these cellars is stack of no t ' ' ' ude. It is not too much to calculate that each ice-house, on an aver- age, requires filly sl loads of ice to fill it.— he lisb-mongers, utchers, and deal- ers in ipiass have such enormous cellars that man undreds of loads will go into them ; and the breweries, distileries,&c., consume incalculsble quantities. According] to the above calculation, five hundred t ousand sledge- ds of ice would have to drawn out of the Neva every year; but this calcu- lation is rather under than over the mark. It iscertainly the merchandise in which the most extensive ti-afic is carried on in the winter. Whole processions of sledges laden with the glittering crystall. may be -can ascending from the Neva; and o_uaands of men are incessantly at work raising the cooling produce from the parent river. _ The breakiugofthe ice is .Ol.l'l'IOtl on_ in this way:-Tlie. workmen in by clearing the lion the surface, hat they ma clearly trace the to be deltache .

In the cellars, the ice is piled up with much art and i-egului-u_v. and all sorts of shelves and niches are lnudi-. Im- the conveinence of placing milk, Illt‘lil null similar articles there in hot weather. Such a discription at least applies to what may he led a tidy, orderly ice-house;but tidinees and or der do not alive s preside over Rus- sian arrangements, an in the lllaluflly of cellars the ice is thrown carelessly in and broken into pieces, that it may be pm.-kcd away in corners, and that as little space as possible ma be left unocupied. The con- sistesoe an durablity of the ice do not ap- pear to suffer from this breaking proci.-ss; on the contrary, the whole if well-packed, will soon freeze into one compact mass, that is afterwards proof against the warmest weather. The R.ussians are so accustomed to these ice-houses that they are at a loss to understand how a family can do without them; and theirhousewives are in the great- est trouble when they think they have not laid in a sullicient supply of ice during the winter, or when in summer they fancy their stock likely to run short. It may be safely estimated the that ice consumed in St.Peters- burg during the summer costs the inhabi- tants from two to three millions of roubles; that is to as , from three hundred thousand pounds to our hundred and fifty thousand pounds, or two millions of dollars. Wnaaa rna Cons Coins I-‘ROM.—-ll is proved by the returns of the foreign corn trade in the last few years that a change is taking place in the principle sources ofthe supply of food.—The United States and the Baltic are no longer b an means our largest producers. Their yearl sur lus falls short of our yearly wants, an it is mm the fertile districts and line rivers of Eastern Europe that we now draw our greatest and most inexhaustible supply. In 154:, when the total imports of wheat into this kingdom were 2,400,000, quarters, only $30,000 uarters or about one-tenth came from Rus- sia, Turkey, or the Mediterranean. In 1852 the total import of wheat (exclusive of ilourl was about 3,200, quarters, of which 1,700,000 quarters came from the ports of those countries, and taking the whole im- port of corn at 6,750,000 quarters, the sup- ply from the East was 3,350.0ll0 quarters. Of this quanlit a large proportion is shipped at Galtaz an Ibraila and other Turkish ports which are the natural channel for the abundant produces of Hungary, and of the fertile provinces south of the Danube.- Egypt also sent us in 1852 no less then '276,(Xl0 quarters in I43 vessels. M. Mon- gredien pointsout that this lar e and increas- I trade is almost exclusive y in the hands o Greek merchants established in England, with branch houses in the Levant, and that the ingenuity and peruversnce of the Greeks are displaye to an extraordinary degree y the manner in which they have contrived, in about thirty years, to found and retain this extensive commerce. The reek firms in England amount to about ‘H10, and the yearly amount of their tran- sactions in the grain trade alone is computed at no less then four millions. Their busi- ncss is conducted with the utmost diligence and exactness, and even in this country the Greeks successfully compete with the tra- ders in corn from all parts of the world. -—EriglisIt paper.

Mr. Walter Brodie, of Auckland, New Zea.- land, in a letter to the London Times, gives the following interesting account of the oolony:— lam sorry to inform on, that gold was dis- covered about thir mi es from here, at it place called Coromandel arbour, soiue few days ago. It was very doubtfiil at first whether the reports were true, until his cellency Lieutenant- Colcnel W&nyard, sent Major N agent (her Majesty's t j, who is native secretary, and Mr. Johnson, nterpreter, to the spot. These fiutlemen were acoomrnied by seven respecta- e merchants of Auok nd, who formed part of the Auckland Gold Committee, who all returned from the above-named on the 23rd instant to say, onlya very small uantity has been found—eome in quarts and lack sand. The land belongs to the natives, who have prevented some Europeans frouidigging for ld. If it should turn out to be found in sufi out can- tlties eld a handsome profit by work co ever made in this colony, and bad the Auok is o redarswardof £500 fo the discovery o coal, in place of gold, they would have more sense. - We are now beginning to lliel the advanhgs of the Ausu-alian colonies finding gold, and, should our late discovery of pld turn out not worth working. in a few years we shall be In a lhr more bsalthyasd I-one condition than any of the other A an colonies.

We have now 'ib’6iit lt3,tl00 acres of land fenced in, and the greats- pnrt in produce for the colonies ; and I me that the natives have far more land under cul - vation, with the idea of their gaining vs hi rices for the produce for the colonies. rfieop ere complain about the dullness of the times, butl assure you. Sir, that it is many cars since Auckland was in so flourishing a con ition, and without the assistance of one sixpenoe of the Parliamentary grunt, all of which has been spent at the southern settlements. NiNavan.—Anoiher deeply interesting volume from the pen of .\Ir. Lsyard, has been published in England. It details the result ofa second expe- dinon to the ruins of Nineveh and Babylon, sud sflbrds new evidence of the integrity of the Old Testament history. Mr. Lziyard lias sucveeded so fairs to identify the palace at Kouyuujik, the principal scene of his investigations, with Senna- chenb as its builder. His name is found on al- most every brick. His are the triumphs that are pit-_lured on the walls, and his inscriptions record the kings and countries he subdued, the gods whom he carried away. -.iud.even the exact iium- lier of talents wlm-li lie exacted from Hezekiah. llis ‘an appearance is on an alabaster slab, in the act of delivering up the city of Lschish, to be spoiled. We hear nothing, indeed, of hieigno- iniuious retreat from Jerusalem, afterthe total de- struction ol his army, but he appears ‘.0 have our- vived his reiurn for some four or five years before he was slain by his sons, while worshippingin the house ofNisroch, his god. Mr. Lsyerd ex- pects, when the written records ol’ the kingdom are all decipliered, that many more historic events will be brought to light; that in fact, we may come to know the lii~iory of Assyria more accurately than we know that of Rome or Greece, or even of our own country, except where we have the some materials, the rolls and records of the kingdom, to guide us. All this new hood of knowledge at so late an age is very wonderful. Ci.Iors'riu‘s Nsrou.-—Mr. Anderson. the managing director ot' the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, lelt England for Egypt about a month since for the urpose of making arrangements for the transmission of Cleopatra's Needle from its present bed on the shores of the Mediterranean to the Park at Sy-V denbam. It would appear, lrorn communications recently received from Mr. Anderson. that great dilliculiics in the way ofilie ri-rnovsl oftliis secl- ent memcn have presented themselves. The needle is actually built into a part of the sea wall and ramparts forming the fortification of the city of Alexandria, and to pull down so much effortl- fication as would be required to disintertlie obelisk and to launch it, and afterwards to rebuild the wall, would not only occupy a great space cftime. but mtlst involve aconsidereble amcuotofsxpenae not originally anticipated. in addition to these circumstances, it is stated that. the Viceroy blui- sclf has a very strong objection to a'breeeh of such a nature being made or left open for any time in the present state of European politics. With respect to procuring casts from ancient works ol art in Eirypt, which formed also one of the objects of Mr. Anderson’s visits to Alexandria, the gen- tleman reports, that be had an interview with the Viceroy of Egypt on the 5th ofthe present month, and that the Pasha then kindly assured him that every facility should be afforded to any person commissioned by the company to collect copies of works in Egypt. The Pasha inquired into the nature and objects of the exhibition, and took the the greatest interest in the details submitted to him At the date of Mr. Anderison's letter, that gentleman was proceeding to inspect the statue of Rameses at Mitralienne, and to visit the new exca- vations atssccsrsb, which are likely to furnish valuable contributions to the fine one department of the sydenhsm Palace. New Dssclurrioiv or S1-aiimi.—A new des- cription of steamer has commenced to ply on the Clyde, between Glasgow and Dumbarlon. The peculiarity‘ of her construction lies in her com ctness, er puddles being much lower than her liulwa}-ks : and. as her engine is on the El... rotatory principle, it likewise occu res very little space. T o inventor, Mr. Davi Na 'er, says :—“ The advanta s these engines ave over others are. that tioy are more compact, consume one-fourth less fuel, and require no engineer; the steersmsn, by ii peculiar valve, moves the vessel ahead or astern, without com- muniaiting with any one. The furnace bars contain water, consequently the hot ashes, which are destructive to the common furnace bar, in this case tends to the production of steam. There is alsoa simple application of the fan to assist combustion. ’ l Bonus.-Thanks to the electric telegraph of Trieste and Marseilles, we are in scion of news from Bnrmnh to the 14th of ebruary. The intelli nce thus received is necessarily brief and elicient in details, but the general character of it is happily such as to warrant the cheering hope, that hostilitiesso long and so laments ily protracted in the country are about to cease, and that the objects for which the war was undertaken will be at» tained without any further efiiision of blood or waste of treasure. rs, that the report brou t by the revious mail from the East of the eath of the ing of Ava by the hand of his Prince Minister was erroneous. re now inform the King is alive: but that he is confined toa by a young- ow ::Il.)lfl()l:z:P, wlirdspirdldtid iehhiothoriins, and who ‘an ‘M ‘m" V..." d'°"h “N .f°"n" is said to be generally sup by the army. 91”’ Pnpomknu" Of the complete success o the young Prince little or no doubt appears to be euterhiaed. Sinrn 0‘Bataa.—-Mr. William Smith O'Brien has addressed a letter, from New folk, to the niemorlalists in lhvour of the li re 0 the Irish state prisoners.

Count Arrivabene, nevertheless, is one of the victims of 1858.” Tue Damisaii Cos-raovnsr.—Aratber amusing controversy is at present being carried on tween the two cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, ‘and the point in dis ute relates to the res fr ive intemperanoe o the inhabitanm. A short time a a Parliamenmry return was printed, on the motion of Mr. Hume, which contained some important statistics with res to the amount of drunkenness existin is several cities of both England and Sootlan ;aad from sonic researches which have been since made b licrd Provost M’Maren, it would sesui that the returns for the cit of Edinburgh were ver incorrect. Hence t quarrel ori ' ated, an a considerable amount of labour been em played by the partisans of their respective cities, make as bad a case azpoesible for their op- oaents. The Nortli Brit’ Daily Mail, which denotes two columns to the subject, has the following extract from the 8cotmisii:—“ e do not care to plunge into the details-we are willin , in the meanwhile. to take the Edin- burgh turn as a vated by our Lord Pro- vost; only we uiusta so, on the grounds alread smted, take the Glss w Return in its correc form.

The cxbi. bitm was one of a party oftliree who went " pros- pcctin" la the White Horse Gully, Bendigo, Port Philip, and, after a short season of barren re- aulls, was at last fortunate enough to turn up this giant of the mine within it inches ofthe surface, and in a place which had been literally honey- combed by the pickases of previous diggers. There were holes all round within a font and a half of the lucky a at; so that " John Bull" must have been in boar y danger of exhumation for a whole season, fore he was ultimately brought to light by Mr. Potter and his friends. Like his great original, he presents an aspect rugged but kindly, the mellow nature of his inner man every- where bresking through the rough crust of quarts which he at first presents to the careless observer. His solid contents are 45 lbs. 0 cs. troy of pure gold, worth £4 an ounce; and this bare feet will haves greater elfcct in attracting visitors than any elaborate or scientific description.

COLONIAL LEGISLATURE. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, Debate on Ir. Iscaalay's Elective Legis- lative council Bill. (Delaila continued from Hasnrd's Gaaatte, No. II.) Mr.Divrss. He tboughtltes nsible Govern- ment liad already done great t ings for the Co- lony. Our great public interests were progres- sing daily ; and certainly at a much more rapid rate than they had ever done before the intro- duction of the Res nsible System. And, not only had Res nsi le Government wrought a most favoursb e change in the lature and Government, and in the present condition and fiituro pros cts of the people of this Colony; but it had one as much for the people of these Colonies in general : and awakened and called into vigorous activity a spirit of industry and psrsevennce, which re abundant assurance of the most prosperous and ha y results. On the introduction of Rcsponsililli Government, these Colonies may be said, altogether and all at once, to have commenced a new career—a career of moral, social, industrial, and commer- cial improvement ; their march was onwards in ever point 0 view; and there could be no don t that they were preparing suecessfull to run the same course of prosperity which the United States had run before them. For this Colony, the change had already elected every improvement which could reasonably have been spec to arise from it during so shorts pe- riod as that for which it had been in operation; and, so far was it from having becouie manifest that the a ten was defective, and its machi- nery insu ient for the aooom lishment of the great ends for which its in action was an rly desired. and so stoutly struggled lbr, by the poo le, that it bad it found to work more harmon ously and with more power than was, at first generally looked for, even by the most mngulue of its advocates In the system,he felt utislled, no chsn was desired by the people : were, be be loved, well ntisfied with its operation so far ; a they who sou taohan were only a few of the ‘ndividua a strangely resisted conviceon and op Reppons ble System to the sat.
