SYDNEY.

By the arrival of the brig Gazelle, from Newcastle, we have Sydney papers to the 10th Oct., and the Newcastle Chronicle of the 12th.

ARRIVAL OE THE IIUAHINE

In mentioning the arrival of the Euahine at Sydney, at 11 o'clock, on the forenoon of Oct. 9th, the Empire says : — While allowing that tho Torres Straits route has afforded the earliest and the Cape Lewin route the latest news, the palm of fulness combined with novelty must be given to the Panama boat. Detained at the Isthmus by some of those incidents common to tho opening up of new enterprises, she has yet been the first to present the citizens of Sydney with intelligible details of the news, and to deliver her mails in this port.

In its commercial article the Empire says :— " The Panama mail steamer, which arrived this morning, put us in possession of news which would have been of great value if she had arrived here at her due date by the .time . table. It is satisfactory, however, to know that her non-arrival at the time was occasioned by a delay in coaling, which is not likely to occur again. In the meantime, her voyage across the broad Pacific has given us another proof of the practibility of the route in the time calculated upon by the company.

The Financial Statement. — Paoposed Vote op Censure. — Mr. Cooper gave notice yesterday, that in Committee of Ways and Means on Thursday next (to-morrow), he would move — " That the financial statement of the honorable Colonial Treasurer is unsatisfactory." The result of this motion will, of course, involve the question who is to hold the reins of government in New South Wales.

Arrival op Military. — Yesterday morning the soldiers of the 50 th Kegitnenb who arrived from New Zealand, were landed, and, headed by their band, marched off to their quarters at the Victoria Barracks, Paddington. There was quite a crowd of people escorting them along the route, amongst whom the women, always attracted by the uniform and the music, predominated. — Empire, October 10th.

Acclimatization. — We tako the following from late Canterbury files :—" By the Biue Jacket, tlie Curator of the Acclimatisation Society has received a patent incubator, capable of hatching about 200 eggs. The six hares consigned to the same gentleman all died on the passage ; their loss is attributed to change of temperature, as they all died in the tropics. Several of the passongera had on board small birds, none of" which lived to reach New JZeaknd. A quantity of game fowls' eggs wore, however, received in, appurently good condition, the hatching of which will bo watched with conaidarable interest.' '
