NIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. fin D.T.-Wrorrilag. Sh. 411. Ilia Tmestaw—lgatiusg. 41. Ns. $2.. LONDON, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 18. IT is characteristic of the DERBY Administration's regard (or disregard) of public opinion, that, notwith• standing the excitement across the Atlantic, and the alarms at home which have followed the disclosure of their " entire change of policy " in the American Fisheries question, and of their sending a great fleet into the Bay of Fundy to seize American smacks, that its reckless Chief has only now thought it necessary to summon or to hold a Cabinet Council; and that its FOREIGN Samentav, in the communication which it is avowed a government journal held with the Foreign-office, has sanctioned the propagation of wows which is false. . . . The result of that journal's visit to Downing-street was an assurance to the pub!ic that no change had been made in the British policy in the Bay of Fundy, and that no withdrawal of the permission given by Lord ABEiti)EEN to American fishers to pursue their occupation therein had been made; further, it was suggested and insinuated that the sudden increase of our fleet was only a needful counterpoise to the French armament in the North American seas. This statement and this insinuation,both professed to be made on " authority", turn out to be altogether untrue ; for by the last steamer from New York the letter which notified to the American government this " entire change of policy," after orders had been sent to carrc it out, has been received ; and therein Mr. en.turros, the British minister, states to Mr. WEBNTER : regent representations haste! been addressed to her Majesty's government by the governments of the North Ameriean provieces in regard to these encroachments fupm the fishing grounds reserved by the convention of 1818], whereby the colonial fisheries are most usuriously prejudiced, directions have been given by the Lords of her Majesty's Admiralty fur stationing off New Brunswick, Prince Ed ward's Island, and in the Golf of St. Lawrence such a force of small sailing vessels and steamers as shall be deemed sufficient to prevent the infraction of the treaty. _ Language cannot be plainer than this. The fleet' was sent to enforce the extreme construction of the Treaty of Ghent, regardless of the concession of March, Isla The increase of our armament had no reference whatever to the strength of the French squadron. The augmented fleet was intended and instructed " to prevent infractions of the treaty"— that is, to seize and carry off for condemnation Ame rican vessels. Nor is this flagrant contradiction between the ex planation which the Morning Herald states it re ceived at the Foreign-office for public aaa (or rather for popular delusion), and the official documents, all. ‘ Mr. CR 31IPTO:ed intimation of the " entire change of policy" to the American SECRETARY of STATE is dated " July 5." Yet, on the 10th of Juno previ °nay, and before the American government could put its citizens on their guard, the Maine moat, the Coral, had been seized in the Bay of Fundy. where it was fishing, in accordance with the pmeales given in March, 1845; and, regardless of that psirminim, it has been condemned. So, too, in rapid sessemise, under these instructions, no fewer than km wr other American fishing boats have bees captured. We may have the nght under the Trusty of ChM to commit these acts of violence ; and the sets of vie lence themselves may be legal; it may, in addition, be sound policy to enforce, our monopoly in these seas. None of these is, however, the question at issue. It is the reasonableness of this manner Mast. ing on the treaty ; of so enforcing its provisions as to endanger its continuance; of so rudely, rashly, and dangerously changing our policy as to nsk a rupture with America ; and of encouraging and fo menting all those American prejudices against Eng land, which will, in case of exasperation, sooner or later produce war. This is the charge against the DERBY Cabinet, and that charge is incontestably es tablished by the facts we have just stated. It is not to be wriggled out of by elaborate arguments on the Treaty . of Ghent; and it is not to be e.caped from by tinkering up an arrangement hare in L cono oa with Mr. Annorr LAvniEtex. For, in the hands of Mi nisters who can so act neither the honour of the na tion nor the peace of mankind is safe. According to the Standard, Lord MALIIVA BURS' has agreed with the American Minister to throw open all the British fisheries to the United States at greater distances than three miles from out coasts; Mr. LAWRENCE making the same ecessmiss to England of the American fisheries. This is whet tho Standard "believes" has been settled. But if so, what becomes of the policy of strielly enforcing the provisions of the Meaty of Ghent; el what me the nineteen ships of war sent out " to pweiet intmelises of the treaty ;" of what value me the somersisess Sit JOHN PAIINGTON conveyed by his skeelar to the North American provinces that, milks all other vertments, her lisitrrr's present goventisent ails tend to enforce the observance of that essvemtiss Why this is worse and worse ; " bad be mbst worse remains behind."

Otherwise, is /adios than ists the ley, we Moll drive ear own Sobers out ; otherwise, to gain credit with the States, we shall alienate the affections of our own colonists. _ The notion of the North-Aneurism promisees giving their fishers equivalent borantios, width Sir Joss PAKINOTON is ready to sanction, is simply ri diculoue. Where are New Brunswick, Primes Ed ward's Wand, and Newfoundland to get the money ? The United States is a great enantry, with an increasing revenue. How can these colonies compete in bounties with it ? The avowed object of bounties is to create and maintain a great naval force. What need have the colonies of England of any such force ? And why should their agricul ture have to pay bounties to force and foster their fisheries ? Already the fishers of New Bruns wick have to pay more than double for their flour what their rivals in the State of Maine do, and foe all other articles of provisions in the like proportion ; and because New Brunswick agriculture is protected to this extent. Sir hone PAKINGTOM le going to in dulge in another round in the same vicious circle, and protect the fishers by mean' of a bounty. In his " Remarks on the Barrier Treaty," Dean Synrr tell' a story of a party of soldiers robbing s farmer's hen-house, and while feasting on its con tents replying to his expostulation, " Why, are we not here to protect you 7" And thus it is with the present government. Coming into power to protect every interest they are injuring all. In their efforts, at once silly and dangerous, to protect the British North American fisheries, they are (if the Standard be correct in its intelligence), condemning them to utter ruin. A stAirtreirro, not altogether unworthy of notice, has just been jrromulgated, apparently by Cardinal WPIGMAN and his colleagues. We say apparently, for though in the superscription it purports to emanate from " the Archbishop and Bishops of the province of Westminster, in provincial synod assembled," it is only signed by three obscurer pnests, under tho desig nation of secretaries. " The Archbishop of the pro vince of Westminster" with all his Bishops, entertains, a reverent fear of the F.cclesiastieal Titles Act, and carefully keeps his own person out of its reach, even when affecting to defy it. The modern ItiorsAs-A BEcKrrr is as careful to ascertain *that " the law is on our side" before he "bites his thumb" at the heretical parliament and gore earnest of England, as ever was any clown who wore the livery of the Copula or the Montague. The reason why we notice this manifesto is because it contains an instructive illustration of the IVISEMAN policy in respect of secular educa tion. As everybody is now a free-trader so every body is now a patron and promoter of secular edu cation—Cardinal WISEMAN among the rest. But his patronage of secular education bears a wonderfully close resemblasma to the Derbyite patronage of free trade. It is not unlike the tender fostering by beggars of children hired for the day—pinching and starving the poor creatures to make them look ema ciated and suffering, while affecting to carom and soothe them. _ _ "Prefer the establishment of good schools to over other work," says the synedithal letter of the Cardi nal and his Bishops. "Our education," it adds "must be up to the mark of modern demands; in other words wo must take advantage of the means afforded us to render the secular part of our educa tion as effective as t h at which others offer." But all care is taken to impress upon the Cardinal's flock that this is not because of any real sub stantial utility inherent in secular education, but simply to prevent Roman Catholics seeking it from other hands than those of the priesthood. " The greater ansennt of worldly knowledge" is described as " a iinsees such a one as deceived and ruined our first parents in Paradise." Again : We cannot onset km ourselves that the encouragement which 'die dab or the policy of the age gives to education atendeney to increase *s impinnoe of worldly knowledge, it net to the t , at lewd to the 7=netellend learning." The mode et doctrine is, that : b oar ty ts fed a seentnipsise for the undue peagneilmence." And the means proposed for the attuning* of this AIM am the extension and completion et the osisaintion of a certain " Poor School Committee, " to take mea sures for withdrawing the attention of the pupils from merely secular studies, and pro moting the appointment of teachers, who, disregard. ing such profane pursuits, shall devote themselves to training their scholars exclusively as stanch Ro manist& The secular schools of the Cardinal are meant to prevent the young of his flock from attain ing to too much secular learning ; they , are in his eyes not agencies for imparting instruction of which he approves, but for reducing to a minimum that instruction which he finds Ins wayward flock will seek elsewhere if he does not give it; they are bribes to prevent Roman Catholics from allowing their children to associate with young heretics. " Make your schools (he says) equal in every respect to those which are opened to allure away your children. Avail yourselves of every encouragement and every improvement which tends to raise the standard of your education, and let there be no pretence tenable for sending Catholic children elsewhere." In short, the portion of the synodical letter devoted to the subject of education, IS on insidious development of • scheme for minimising the weenier knowledge of Roman Catholics, and for isolating them from their Protestant fellow citizens, in order that they may be brought up to fear, distrust, and hate them. So far from believing that the rabid spirit of priestly domination which animates the synodical letter IS participated in by all Roman Catholics, we see clearly that the passages relating to education have been inspired by a thesciommess that • very different spirit is making pengeeas among them. They show unequivocally that the Romani Catholic laity are beginning to feel and assert their rights ; that they are determined not to be debarred access to knowledge which their Protestant neighbours enjoy; that they will set allow themselves to be prevented from asso ciating en friendlyand familiar terms with men whom the Ware WI Pik nssessarily brings them into con test with, sr baying their children educated in thesarae easels. The Cardinal feels that this spirit is too !nighty to be arrested by an open exercise of author ity; and therefore he seeks to turn it aside while affecting to yield to it. It is not to Protestants, but to the enlightened Roman Catholic laity, and to the liberal and well-intentioned of their priesthood, that our exposure of the Cardinarsiesuitry is addressed. Had it been= cue at present to address our Pro- testant brethren, we would have deemed our time and labour more profitably employed in exposing the hermit' of this old Romish leaven which still con tinues to earropt their own Protestantism. The silly *aim thin knowledge is inconsistent with piety, tie mmeembilial prepegandist spirit that would instate membem et any one communion from all who dint km its standard, are still too prevalent mew Protestants, and exercise • most baneful Mice over education.

FRANCE. PARIn, 11/211DAY EvasiNo. The Menifeur contains the remaining &print ments in the Legion of Honour on the occasion of the 15th. An immense list of these is founded upon a report of M. do Persigny, who has taken the ut most pains to seek out for honorary reward prefects, mayors, sub-prefects, gendarmes, garden champetres, and other functionaries, who distinguished them selves by zeal in support of the coup d'etat. M. De- Lamm, director of La Patric ; and M. Patti, pre fect of tho police of Paris, are promoted to the rank of officers in the legion. M. La Guerroniere, of the Pays, and M. Theophili de Montour, chef do cabinet of the Minister of the Interior, and formerly an editor of the Patric., are made chevaliers. Another recipient of the decoration is M. Paul Dupont, of the Corps Legislatif, recently famous by his quarrel with the prefect of the Dordogne. M. Dupont has been for many years at the head of a large print ing establishment in Paris, and since the revolution of February he has carried on his business to some extent upon the principle of association, admitting his workmen to a share in the profits. Oa the news of his appointment to the Legion of Honour, the workmen, whether by previous concert or not I am unable to say, set out fur St. Cloud to thank the President for the honour conferred upon their master. They were received almost immediately by the Prince, who was walking in the park at the time of their arrival. The foreman made a speech, in which be alluded to the regard paid by Id. P. Dupont o the rilFhts of salary "in his arrangements with his men. the President replied that in decorating M. Dupont he bad wished not only to reward an emi nent printer of thirty-five years standing, but also a master who missed no opportunity of doing good to his workmen. The Prince-President of the Republic gave a grand soirée last night -at the Palace of St. Cloud. The cards of invitation fixed nine o'clock for the com mencement of the reception, and before half-past nine 1,000 persona had arrived. By ten o'clock at least 2,000 were present, and guests continued to arrive until after midnight. Among the company were a great number of senators, members of the Council of State, and judges, the members of the diplomatic corps, all the generals of the army of Paris, and a considerable number of colonels and other officers. At a little after ten o'clock the Prince, accompanied by the Princess Mathildo and some of his ministers, went through the rooms bowing to his guests. On his retiring, the dance commenced in the long gallery, and this was followed by a splendid supper. A considerable portion of the company re mained till a late hour. Some idea may be formed of the crowded state of the rooms by the fact of the file of carriages reaching beyond the bridge of Surennes. It was observed that neither the Prince de Canino nor Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of Jerome, was present. Apropos of Bonapartist disunion some people fancy they see a symptom of it in the unexpected absence of Marshal Jerome from the fetes of the lath. He was on that day at Nantes, where he engrossed a large amount of Napoleonic enthusium to himself, attended a St. Napoleon mass, received the civil and military authorities, and accepted a banquet given in his honour. The Palrie contradicts General Petit's death. A certain number of tickets for the ball at the Marche des Innocens were seized yesterday for being exposed on sale in tobacco shops. As much as 10Q fr. was asked for them in some instances. It is confi dently asserted that the President will open the ball to-night with a market woman. M. Abbatucci, minister of justice, is, by decree of the President of the Republic, charged with the functions of minister of finance during the absence of M. Bineau, who has left Paris for a few days. The Mondeur contains a decree of the President of the Republic ordering that the vacation of the Court of Accounts shall commence on the Ist of September, and end on the Ist October, and appointing the fol lowing Conseillers Maitres to form the Chambre de Vacations during that period :—M. d'Audifret, presi dent ; and MM. Itihouet, Adam, Magpie. de Pimples, Lavelle°, Moetanier, and Lebo, de Courmont. The minister of police, in a circular to the prefects, has desired them in future to refer to him before giving warnings to newspapers in their departments. Out of delicacy towards the prefects this circular has not been made public. The extravagant lengths to which these local functionaries have carried the pow ers entrusted to them has long made the government ridiculous. So lately as the 12th of August, the p.re feet at the C6te d'Or warned a journal for having repainted an article of the Paris Union, in which the astral authorities had found no matter of odium the article merely lamented the notoriously begat stets of the Parisian press, asked the ques t/ea orbothsr in a country like France the prevalence apathy was beneficial to the public, and girl:w i n d the proposition that the object of a sound policy should be to develops and not to destroy the jewel vitality of the people. The line of argument was enforced by a reference to the state of the Romans under the latter emperors. The prefect of the Cato d'Or saw, in the reproduc tion of this article, a design to depreciate the coali tion of 1862, and to induce a belief that the object of the government was to infringe upon the rights of the people. The official fallacy, that these rights must necessarily remain intact while universal suf frage exists, is proclaimed in the warning, which concludes by . affirming that any allusion to the lower empire is an outrage to truth and to the French people. Although the minister of polio:wham thought flt to check the absurdities of the prefects, there is no reason to suppose that any change of policy in favour of the liberty of the press is in contemplation. On the contrary, I have to-&y to notice a resump tion of the war against the Paris journals, which, thanks to their extreme caution, reducing their articles to insigni fi cance, have for some time remained unmolested. M. de Maupes has given a first warning to the Gazette de France of the 14th instant, and " which," the warning says, "contains, on the subject of pre tended ministerial modifications, assertions completely erroneous, and of a nature to disseminate doubts as to the real intentions of the government." The Sleek has received notice of a prosecution from the public prosecutor for an prticlo written some daps since by M. Louis Jourdan. lam informed that M. do Maupas, who only learnt the fact thi s morn i ng through the public prints, feels much annoyed that another branch of government should have proceeded against a paper for an article which he had not thought fit to blame. The editor of the Siecle has had an audience of the minister of police to-day, and hopes are entertained that the prosecution may be withdrawn. Indeed the general tone of discussion in the Siecic since the coup (Niue has been eo unexcep tionable in form, and so temperate in substance, that if the government should advisedly persevere in this act of hostility, it will bo evident that nothing but abject flattery, or total silence, can secure any jour,, nal from destruction M. Paul Meurice, sentenced to nine months' im prisonment for an article in the old En'nement, was yesterday liberated from the Conciergerie, his term of imprisonment having expired. M. Thiers was at Vevay, in Switzerland, when he received the news of the decree of the 7th inst., authorising his return to Paris. This news caused him a pleasure which ho loudly expressed. M. Thiers bore the weight of his exile with great grief, and the moment he lftrd of the decree he eagerly commenced preparations for his departure. For many years past U. Thiers has always pawed his summer out of Paris, and this year he had arranged to spend several months at Vevay. Ho is, however, now so anxious to avail himself of the authorisation to return to Paris, that on Wednesday or Thursday he will be at his residence in the Place St. Georges. General Bedew% in the following letter to the Independance Beige, contradicts the report of his intention to become a priest: Sir,—Your op/respondence from Paris, of the 12th of this month, transmits you the strange rumour, u it is styled, of my being about to take holy orders. This rumour is not strange, it is false. People, having doubting as interest in so doing, have repeatedly attempted to mass it be believed that, discouraged by recent political events, I thought of taking refuge in • religious life. lam is no respect dis couraged, and the refuge of my conscience is sufficient for me. I there find the certainty that I have always done my duty, and the will to servo the cause of liberty and right with perseverance. I rely upon your goodness to insert this in 040 of your earliest numbers. Brussels, August 14, 1832. 0 EN lIIAL BZDISAO. PAR M A. Our Paris correspondent writes last evening as follows: _ _ . The elevation of Ward to the regency of Parma is not only a singular instance of the mutability of human affairs, but of the tendency of the Anglo- Saxon race, when transplanted to foreign countries, to emerge to eminence, and surpass others by the homely but rare qualities of common sense and un faltering energy. Ward, as your readers are per haps aware, was a Yorkshire groom. The Duke of Lucca, who obtained, by his fall from horseback in Rotten-row, the familiar soubriquet of " Filthy lucre," spying the lad's merit, took him into his ser vice, and promoted him through the several de grees of command in his stables, to bo head groom of the ducal stud. Upon Ward's ar rival in Italy wi'h his master, it was soon found that the intelligence which he displayed in the management of the stables was applicable to a variety of other departments. In fact the Duke had such a high opinion of Ward's wisdom that ho very rarely omitted to consult him upon any question that ho was perplexed to decide; and the success, which never tailed to crown Ward's advice, gave him in the eyes of the feeble descendant of the Spanish Bourbons the prestige of infallibility. As Louis MI. used to answer those who applied to him on any business, by referring them to the Cardinal d'Amboise, with the words "Ask George," so Charles of Lucca cut short all application with "Go to Ward." The expenses of the stables having been reduced to less than half under the administration, while the duke's horses were the envy of all Italy, it struck the prince naturally enough that it would be a good thing if the same economy could be intro duced into other departments. So Ward tried his hand on one thing and the other, continually enlarg ing his sphere of influence, until from horsehold matters ho passed to those connected with the state; which indeed is such a miniature affair that it does not greatly pass the limits of some private domestic establishments. Ward, now become the factotum of the Prince, won in the disturbances which preceded the revolutionary year of 184 e a diplomatic dignity., and was despatched to Florence upon a confidential mission of the highest importance. He was deputed to deliver to the Grand Duke tho act of abdication of the Duke of Lucca. At first the Grand Duke was doubtful whether he could receive in a diplomatic capacity a mes- 1 longer of whom ho had only beard in relation to tho races of tho Canine, where Ward 1 1 had been in the habit of riding as a jockey. But it soon appeared that the Lucchese envoy had in his pocket a commission making him the viceroy . of the Duke's states, which was to be acted upon to case the Grand Duke made any ditEculty, or even if he refused to receive Ward as the ambassador of the states of Parma at the capital of the Medici& Soon after, in 18-19, whon'the Duke of Lucca resigned his other states to his son, Ward became the head counsellor of this hopeful prince, who has this been able to follow out a sporting bent under the best auspices, while he had a minister whose shrewd sense was more than a match for the first diploma tists in Italy. Ward was on one occasion despatched to Vienna in a diplomatic capacity. Schwarz.nberg was astonished at his capacity ; to fact, the ci-devarst Yorkshire stable boy was the only one of the diplo matic body that could make head against the impe tuous counsels, or rather dictates, of Schwar zenburg ; and this was found highly use ful by other members of the diplomatic body. Among others, Meyendorff, the Russian ambassador, cultivated him greatly. An English gentleman, supping one night at the Russian am bassador's, complimented him upon his excellent ham. "There's a member of our diplomatic corps here," replied Meyendorff, " who supplies us all with hams from Yorkshire, of which county he is a native." Ward visited England. The broad dialect and homely phrase betraying his origin through tho profusion of orders of all countries sparkling on his breast, ho rarely ventured to appear at evening soirees. Lord Palmerston declared he was one of the mast re markable men he had ever met with. Ward, through all his vicissitude, has preserved an honest pride in his native country. He does not conceal his humble origin. The portraits of his parents, in their home spun clothes, appear in his splendid saloon of the prime minister of Parma. THE FUNERAL OF MAZZLNI'S MOTHER. There is still life in Italy. The subjoined accounts of the obsequies of Mszzini's mother at Genoa, show that the sentiment of the noble and the kindly still glows in the Italian breast. Even those who disent from the political views of Mazzini are compelled to acknowledge his clear intellect, his pare and elevated imagination, his impassioned sincerity, his fearless and persevering character. He is the apostle of a political creed, and all his sentiments and all his actions correspond with that elevated character. To be capable of admiring and loving such a man is for a people to be capable of freedom. The relations which existed between Mazzini and his mother were beautiful and touching. From the time of his boyhood he had only seen her onco— st Milan in 1848. But their love, had not waxed cool in consequence of their aspiration. Week by week they corresponded without &il for a period of twenty-two years. This filial devotion knit Max.' rini to the Italian heart by a purely human and domestic tie, and it shed over the mother a reflex of her son's glory. She was even in her life-time inscribed in the calendar of patriot saints for Italy. The solemnities of her funeral, characte ri sed by the fervid feelings of Italy, show what a hold mother and son had (and haves upon the Italian mind, and how the contagious influence of their countrymen's love and veneration has caught hold of even the colder children of the north.

Many Genoese and foreign ladies, besides those above named, except the Signori Nina, who could not beer the trial of her streugth and was forced to withdraw, carried the funeral palls, and surrounded the coffin, upon which were deposited numberless wreaths, woven by , them, and presented by the association. Tricoloured banners, and ribbons, and flowers without end. English and American, the Swedish, Dutch, and Danish captains were present in deep mourning, each in their turn seeking the honour of bearing the coffin, which was alike claimed by the working I men, the emigration, and those of all classes who were pre sent. The civic bands led the procession playing religious music. Tho procession numbered at least 15,000, walking in two columns of four a breast. The retire population lined the streets, and the mat perfect order reigned amid mani festations of the sincerest grief.

There was not a peasant's hut or a nobleman's palace without a light in every window, illuminating the cortege on itsdarksome way. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. A telegraphic summary of the following appeared in the Express of yesterday: The Royal West India mail packet Magdalena, Captain Vincent, from the West Indies, &c., arrived at Southampton yesterday morning at 8.30 o clock, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut.

JAMAICA. In Jamaica, small-pox was virulent at various points, but somewhat on the decrease at Kingston. In St. Thomas-in-the-East, an estate of 1,600 acres, with good dwelling house and some WO/. worth of new machinery, had been sold for 1,0001. We learn (says the Morning Journal) that, in eon sesuence of the alarming spread of the small-pox in this city, orders have been issued to the troops sta tioned at Up Park camp to keep within barracks fur the present, or until such time as that afflictive dis ease shall have decreased in virulence, or entirely left us. A similar order, we understand, will be issued to the soldiery in Kingston Barracks, and all communication between them and tho civilians will be prevented for the present. BiRBADOES. The American Consuf(iii.iayes) died on the 14th ult., buried with an undue amount of military honours, the whole garrison turning out, &c. liarbadoes had been favoured with its wonted sun shine :and showers, whereby a crop of 48,500 hogs heads had been shipped off, and an equally good one is anticipated for the coming year. Great disgust had been created by the acting governor's appoint ment of Mr. Bouverie Aileyno to be acting inspector general of police ; this young gentleman (of 21 or 22 years) being preferred to well-tried as well as older men belonging to the force. He is a eon of Sir Rey nold Alleyne, of Barbadoes. The island was gene rally very healthy. MARTINIQUE. In Martinique, at Fort de France, yellow fever was making sad ravages. Opening out a part of the fosse or canal round the town had undoubtedly gene rated the scourge, and the military, as well as the inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood, were carried off at the rate of fully 15 per cent. LEEWARD ISLANDS. Antigua had been visited by heavy rains, but not of sufficient duration to break up the long drought which had prevailed. A resolution had been adopted by the House of Assembly for appointing three de legates from that colony to co-operate in England with those from Jamaica. The council had refused to concur in the proposed grant of 100/. to the National Associat►on. The attorney-general had in troduced a bill for establishing a fire brigade in the city of St. John's. The St. Lucia Palladium gives the subjoined re turn of the total shipments of produce from the colony—viz., 3,721 hhds., 226 tierces, and 1,776 barrels of sugar, and 7091 puncheons of molasses. The island continued healthy, and seasonable rains had fallen. The continued non-arrival of the new governor was a source of much dissatisfaction to the colonists. A shock of an earthquake was felt on the 23rd ult. FRENCH WEST INDIAN ISLANDS. Accounts from these islands state that disturbances had broken out in Guadeloupe upon the arrival there of M. Charles Dein, a notorious red republican, who bad been appointed by Louis Napoleon to an office in the Appeal Court of the island. On landing M. Dain was hooted and menaced by the assembled multitude. Tumults continued for several days, and many ar rests were made. The members of the bar held a a meeting, and solemnly refused to plead before the court so long as M. Dam continued one of its mem bers. The members of the privy council sent in their resignations. The municipal council, the chamber of commerce, and the officers of the militia gave in their resignations en masse, and the feelings of ndignation and disgust spread all over the colony, threatening serious troubles. Notwithstanding the disturbances the installation of M. Dein took place, but not a single advocate or attorney assisted at tho ceremony., THE SPANISH MAIN. A oorrespondeat says them is much cholera at Navy Bay among the American steam packets there, also at Cruces ; and Panama is reported to be very sickly. At the latter port (although not the most favourable season) there were unusual numbers bound for California—causing a reduction in the fares, for deck passengers especially, who were being conveyed to San Francisco at as low a figure as 12 dole. The Golden Gate and Wingfield Scott were at Panama when our correspondent left. EQUADOR. Our correspondent informs ue that Flores made an attack by sea on Guayaquil on the 4th July, but with a ridiculously small force (on dit, a brig and schooner) and corresponding trivial effect. He is said to have scarcely an adherent in Equador, and none at all within the Peruvian territory. CENTRAL AMERICA. Highly favourable reports, says a correspondent, I are in circulation as to the new lino of ocean canal lately examined by Messrs. ()Memo and Forde, civil engineers, come home in Magdalena. Nothing very explicit on the subject will be known until these gentlemen have made their report and the company is formed. Meanwhile I have reason to I know that the lino is between Puerto d'Eecoces—or, more properly speaking, between Caledonia Bay and the Gulf of San Miguel--on the Atlantic shore, and the Oulfof San Miguel on the Pacificside. It will involve some 33 miles of cutting,with, as I understand, scarcely anything in tho shape of engineering difficul ties. I have myself heard an old gentleman, styled Captain Sheppard, of Grey Town (who is reputed to be the best authority in the Isthmus on such mat ters) assert that this" is the line of all others" for a ship canal. There is moreover an excellent harbour at each end. The locality of this particular line is entirely free from swamps, and will therefore have the supereminent advantage (over any other part of the Isthmus) of being a healthy spot for immigrant labourers. THE LA PLATA LEFT SuUTTIAMPTON YEiTERruY with the West India and Pacific mails. She hail on board ' 1,380 tons of coals, the largest quantity of fail NNW , ever taken on bo ard a steamer. It is estimated that the coal of the West India Company used at home and temp , stations averages 30s. a ton. Some idea mat' be famed from this of the enormous expense of working a monster steamer, as the cost of fuel of the La Plata on her voyage from Southampton and St. Thomas will saucily be less than 2,0001. Mr. Napier, the maker of the eneinis of the La Plata, has offered to wager 4,000/. that she will make the voyage to St. Thomas in 12 days, and that her y engine pow er is sufficient to take her there in t e n d a y s . Ihe distance he' tween Southampton and St. Thomas is near 3,700 nat. I which is 700 miles farther than the distance between Liter' spool and New York.

The fisheries have been a topic that has created a good deal of discussion, and many threats of war from our republican neighbours. .111 the colonists are thankful to Sir John S. Pakington fur sending out a strong naval force to enforce the observance on the part of the Americans of the treaty of ImlB. This prompt action of Sir John will cover a multi bide of sins in the eyes of the colonists. I believe there are no two opinions on this question, either in Canada or the sister provinces. The Americans con tend fora more liberal construction of tho treaty than that put upon it by the British or colonial govern. ments, but I do not think that their prch.ntions can be maintained if the matter be referred to competent authorities. Some of the New York city and state papers haro been threatening Canada with annexation, but such threats are idle. As an example of the feeling hero upon the point, I take the following extract from the Daily Colonist of this city : The New York Herald contains a letter purporting to be from a correspondent in Montreal, signed "Anu-Filli. buster," and headed with large capital letters " Important from Canada," "Annexation of the British Provinces.' The Herald introduces this letter to its readers in a leading article, as being a very important document, con taining "curious and startling revelations." The effect of the whole is to show that there is a plot existing between General Scott and certain:annexationists in Montreal, to bring about the annexation of Canada and the sister pro. vines to the United States, either peaceably or by fora. The Herald in its leader states that it is informed Mr. W. L. M.Kansie "is in active confidential correspondence with the socialist and Seward organs of that state for the purpose of the great design of annexation." We should not tunics such wild fancies were it not that there has been a good deal of talking and threatening about annexation in the New York papers for a little time past, and that we think it just as well to tell them, that they may tan themselves the trouble of speculating upon such a topic, as they will onll have their speculations for their pai ns . We do not think the Montreal annexationist" will be likely to try their hands at another annexationist scheme, at least for some time to come, as no doubt the experience of their last attempt us quite enough to satisfy them. _ . It is now definitely announced that we are to havo a line of ocean steamers between Liverpool and Montreal next summer, and between Liverpool and Portland in the winter. I understand our govern ment have concluded a contract with Messrs. *Keen, WLarty, and Co., of Liverpool. The steamers aro to be of large size, and upon the screw principle. They are to run fortnightly. Le Conadien, one of the government organs, gates semi-officially that the ministry intend to apply to parliament for 30,000/ to open roads in the Crows lands. The price of these in Upper Canada will be reduced to 4s. per acre with some exceptions. flat no more than 200 acres will be sold to one indi vidual, who will be allowed 10 years to pay. 'lbw who have no money will have 50 acres giv en to them gratis, or rather on condition of keeping the roads in repair in front of their farms. In Low..r Canada the price of lands will be lower still. This action of our government is wise, and it will promote set. tlement. The price of wheat is from 3s. 10(1. to I. currency per bushel, bat there is not Tcry much in the market.
