An Italian lias invented a new musical instrument for the future of which great things are predicted. In appearance it resembles a small upright piano. The keyboard is like that of a piano ; but the hammers, set m motion by the keys, are tipped with metal instead of leather, like an exaggerated music-box. The music is said to be very pure and sweet of tone, though not very loud. Negotiations are proceeding in Melbourne for the establishment ef a weekly steamer service to England from October to May, outside of the mail steamer service, for ttye export ofjproduce.
