Two centuries ago a Frenchman died, leaving .£400,000. The heirs not coming forward, the State appropriated the money. The heirs now claim the sum, which, with interest, amounts to twenty-five millions sterling. Another new route to Australia will soon be available. The completion of the new Trausandine Eailway, now in progress, will, it is expected, enable the time occupied in travelling from England to Australia to be shortened by at least fonrteen dayr.; the route being to Buenos Ajree by steamer, thence by rail to Talptraiso and thence by steamer again' to Australia.
