THE Reverend 0. R. PIIITNNe, incumbent of St. Peter's, Plymouth—Father Confessor to the Orphans of the Sisters of Mercy, leader of that new Order of Plymouth Brethren the effect of whose rule is to deteriorate the minds of little girls with prurient quer tionings—has in vain had his confessional practices veiled by the decent covering of his Bishop • anon and the protecting shadow of his lordships counte nance. Yam was the judgment of the Bishop of Exrrea after the inquiry into Mr. PIYNNIN proved insinuations into the minds of young Orli of unwholesome thoughts and impulse, which few young girls can of themselves know and feel. Useless was Mr. PITNNeI acquittal by his diocesan even of "in discretion." With the fatal energy of a drowning man who sinks the faster the harder he struggles, the Rev. Mr. PRYNNE will rush into print, and will seal his own condemnation, by trying to defend himself. Another letter to the Bishop of from that sophistical fa her confessor has found its way into print, end will be seen in another column. Another weapon is consequently furnished the sup =of morality and common sense against la hie first epistle to his defender and patron, Mr. PSYNNE delivered himself respecting the sanction of, the Church to the practice of cintession thus :—. All I can find serves to show me that she [the Church] leaves her children entirely at liberty to use this means of gram [confession] whenever their spiritual necessities require it. There is no prohibition, or shadow of a proh ibition, that I know of, to prevent their doing so. " The Anglican Church neither bids nor forbids her lock to confess their sins and wickednesses to the not infallible clergy; therefore, Mr. PRYNNE mad his employers insist upon their pupils confessing " regularly on stated days." By this style of negation, any absurd or wicked practice can be justified. The Church does not enjoin or pro hibit the wearing of hair shirts, the lying all night upon hearth-stones, the standing on one leg, the burning of heretics, starvation, mutilation, or any other absurd or sinful act; yet that very circum stance appears to Mr. PaeNtea to be an argument for their being extensively followed and habitually indulged in. "In short, my lord," continues the conventicle jesuit of the Plymouth Brethren, " I have only meant to assert fur the members of the Church of England general and absolute freedom of being allowed to unburden their minds to their ministers whenever they desire it for their souls' good. Such a freedom I do believe to be most in accordance with her spirit." The mean shuffling of • cringing so phister is writing specious distinctions could only suggest such a text as this, and could only have added seek a commentary as that which follows in Mr. Pat Fixes second letter to his congenial bishop. " I have not taught it as a duty," he writes, "I have sot brought or trained persona to look on it as a regular observance, or • part of the ordinary dis cipline of a Christian life ; but, on the other hand, I me not aware, et any statement of the Church of Zagland which would justify me in refusing to re sales persons who desire of their own accord, or, I may add, by the advise of their parents or guardians, to mese to me vegelerly for this purpose." The widows spirit Mr. PRTNNE proved that ho JIM Meek it Is ihe orphans of the Sisters of Mercy am a rimy to usual him regularly to confess. He may not have done so in words, but ho taught them much more imp wrively in practice. Their "guardian s," the /listen of Mercy, sent the children to him • re gularly se stated days" (a fact we learn from Miss puma Cattrer.u., from the girls themselves, and from am abeedemes of other evidence), sad he tot one y sentswed ad absolved them, but expostulated gave wits am. and eau them penance for any el-i -dolises el aboase happened to exhibit.

PARIS, Taman' llmertmo. Nothing is talked of bet the pee peselimmtlr &Lbw day. Since General Magnaa's order et OM day, the Minister at War has ordered that the Mimi of the Etat Major and four additional eawiley regiments shall take part in the military spectacle. For this purpose the 6th Hussars at Fon. tainebleau, the 4th Chameurs at Proving, the 7th Chalmers at Coups, and the 7th Dra goons at Melun, have 'Weft to ;marsh immediately to Paris. In coGesswal Minas has been obliged to m od) his military arrange ments, and has published a sopplemeatary order of the day, assigned positions too - die bi g e additional force. On the arrival of the President at the °rheas Railway station, the bells of all the sharable la Paris will ring, at tho same time that the artillery will fire salutes. The Bourse will be closed, as it has been found that it could not be opened on a day when all this Istismal Guards are ordered to be under arms. The NM market, which is usually held on &iturday, will lake place to-morrow. The public Mims will only swam open until 12 o'clock. A triumphal arch is in course of construction at Ike entrance of the garden of the Tuileries, in front of the gate of the Pont Tournant. Setts are being placed on the terraces to the right and left of the gate, which will contain some thousands of specta tors. An amphitheatre on a gigantic scale is also in coarse of construction near the triumphal arch of the Pont d'Austerlitz, and a large tent will also be fitted tip. Another triumphal arch will be erected oppo site the theatre of the Porte St. Martin, and another at the by of the Rue Richelieu. Some very absurd Whistled representations were planned, in which the services of lightly clad nymphs would bate been pot an requisition. But I un dies SS i that the goverment, knowing that the Parisians have still some sense of ridicule, have given strict orders to put a stop to every attempt to add to the isSeial programme. I have heard a report that the Orleans station the inscription, "To our Cele,- Ihsperoe " is to be exhibited; but I incline to Mak lib wail be cut out by the censor of the drama. • yea deal of dissatisfaction is expressed at the imimpust that the infantry is to occupy the foot peestimeat ea either side of the Boulevards. This will leave but little room indeed for the public, who will be entirely excluded from the car riage way. The municipal commission of Paris per forming the func ions of the council.geoeral of dm Seine, met this morning to prepare an address. It is stated in all the papers that on the triumphal arch on the Pont d'Austerlitz will be seen the inscription, l ' The City of Paris to Louis Napoleon, Emperor." The Moniteur contains the following telegraphic despatch : LA ROCHELLE, OCT. 12, fiavaN r.x. The Priam quitted Rochefort this morning, after having passed is review the troops and the deputations of the coop imstre!f tie arrondissements of Rochefort, Mannar, and Itainvieen-d'Aegely.

The whole town is wild with joy. All the populations of the vicinity assesablid to the number of upwards of 100,000 souls, aaanimously acclaim the Priam as their Emperor ! The President arrived at Mart at baltpast five this afternoon.

It is proposed to make Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, young est son of the ex-King Louis, and brother of the reigning monarchs of Bavaria and Greece, the heir presumptive to the throne of the latter country. The Prince is said to have declared himself ready to adopt the 40th article of the protocol which constituted the monarchy, and with it the Greek religion.

INDIA AND CHINA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our despatches in anticipation of the Overland Mail from India. The dates are : Bombay, September 14; Madrea, Sept. 13; Calcutta, Sept. 7; Canton, Aug. 24. Our Bombay correspondent writes ea follows : BOMBAY, Barr. 14. News from Rangoon to the 26th, and from Moul .main to the 19th of August, has just reached Bom bay, via Calcutta. The health of the gallant old Commodore Lambert having partially suffered from continual exertion, he had proceeded to Moulmein for change and relaxation—he reached this place on the 16th. The garrison of Martaban was incessantly annoyed by straggling parties of Burmese, who never stopped to let our men have a brush with them. One European artilleryman had been shot dead by them. Alarge body of the enemy was said to be in the'' neighbourhood, concealed in the jungles. After these a force was to be sent out when a reinforcement reached Moulmein from Madras. The present gar-' rime of Martaban is to be pushed up to Thoung-noo when others arrive to take thew places. From ltan-1 goon there is very little news. The rains had been very heavy, but fortunately very little sickness pre vailed. An army of 10,000 to 16,000 men is said to await us at Promo ; 7,000 at Pegu, with 4,000 eu logy horse; 10,000 at Sheo-gain ; and other consider able bodies at other posts close at hand ; while Ma itself is reported to be crowded with soldiers. Eleven guns have been put in position on the river near Promo, the capture of which will afford pro bably half an hour's amusement to the sailors of the fleet. A troop of horse artillery and the 111th Native Infantry left Madras for Rangoon on the 30th of August. The let European Fusiliers was to follow on the 6th inst. The Fire Queen steamer had been armed with eight twelve-pounders, under the super intendence of Commodore Lambert, at Moulmein. The gallant officer returned in her to Rangoon on the 20th. Two thousand men are to be taken up at a time to Proms by the steamers. When the whole army shall have thus reached that place, expected to be about the 111 of January, a movement on Ava is to be made, the let of February being likely to arrive before it gets properly on its way. This seems • dreadful delay, but we must assume there is no help for it. At this rate we cannot expect to hear of Ma being in our hands before the end of March—six months hence! Our army will coexist of about 16,000 in fantry and 1,000 artillery; no cavalry has as yet been ordered for service, which makes many think that our troops will go up by steamers as far as pos sible, and only commence marching when forced. Some 4,000 men at least will be left at Rangoon, Promo, Bassein, and Martaban, leaving 12,000 to advance on the capital—rather a small force, consi dering what it is likely they may have to encounter. General Bundoolah's son, with the ex-Governor of Rangoon end Martabao, are at Prome; they are said to wish to deliver themselves up to us—the fact being that they wished to stop the steamers from plying up and down the river while negotiating with us. Captain Shadwell, of the Sphynx, has su perseded Captain Tarlton in the command of the flotilla in virtue of his seniority. General Godwin, with Commodore Lambert, and 300 men of the 18th Royal Irish, were to embark on the 26th or 27th on the Fire Queen for the Irawaddy. The brig Maxeppa, laden chiefly with supplies and mess stores, was totally lost about 40 miles outside the mouth of the Rangoon river; crew all saved. The awe inspi ring and beautiful steamer Nemesis reached Rangoon from China on the 12th Aug. The governor ap pointed by Captain Tarlton to the town of Donabew having incurred the ill-will of the people, they set fire to the town, which he then found too hot to hold him, and bolted! The town of Rangoon is being very greatly extended by the people building all along to Kemendine, and it is expected that on the annexation decree going forth Maulmain will be wholly deserted. Roofs of plinks have been built over the steamers Prosperine and Nemesis, to protect the crews from the enemy's bullets while proceeding up the river. Captain Tarlton had got to Meeaday, above Prome. The ex-governor of Della wishes to surrender, but fears for his life. The captain and crew, with • lady passenger, of the wrecked brig Mag having fallen into the hands of a Burm es e 4;Plia' man of rank half way betwein Rangoon and Cape Negrais, were very kindly treated, and sent by him under safe escort to Ransom.

Fran the Puojsub we have rutted bat little news of late; that little formiadows trouble and turmoil at an early date. The 111th irrigable cavalry had gone out from Peshawir to the outpost of Shobkedr the vie, a the MP* N.I and two guns which accompanied those born clamp, had halted on the Peshawar side of the Cabool river. No enemy could be heard of, and they would, it was believed, at once return to camp. The Ma nned& have not yet apparently taken heart sialleint to brave our wrath; the eold mason will no doubt And a held fora again out on a village-destroying crusade. Along the Hamra frontier matters wore a suspicions aspect. These border disturbances are said to be fomented by a body of bialioniedans about Delhi, and in other cities in the north-west. Sir Witt Campbell was still at Hewn] Pindes on the 23rd August, enjoying the pure air of the station for a while before quitting W eimate{: s or ever. He had met his successor, Gen. Rebel% re on his way to Peshawur, and hed no doubt given him • lemon or two in refer ence to meters at and around Peshawar. A good deal of sickness, principally fever, prevailed at La hore and Pind Dadun K . At Moat= very heavy rain had fallen, but as yet the station was tolerably free from sickness. The native in charge of the treasury had made away with about 3,0001. Scarcely a word of news has been received from Soinde since my last—sickness was on the increase both at Sulker and Hydrabad, owing to the immense quantity of rain which had fallen, and caused such a and extensive inundation by the Indus. B. L. Shame, 22d Native Infantry, has been removed from his command, and is maid to be about being brought to a court-martial, for hav ing busied himself with political matters quite out of his line of duty. What them matters can be is a puszle—unless he, while at Sukkur, with his corps became acquainted with that old traitor and deep-dyed villain Ali Moored. Colonel St. John takes command of the 22nd, from the 27th N.I. The state of feeling amongst the officers of the former corps is said to be anything but what it might and ought to be; and for this reason Colonel St. John has been chosen to put them all to rights n ag There has been more fighting in Berar, the Nisam apparently allowing his hopeful vassals to cut each ' other's throats as it best pleases them. This cannot be wondered at, when he allows his ministers to be confined in his capital by their creditors, and is even believed to have connived at the attempt made at the city gate on the life of old Soorakool-Moolk, his prime minister. The pay of his contingent is now seven months in arrears. He either cannot or will not pay them—nor will the British government. Yet the poor fellows must support themselves by borrowing at enormous interest. Can anything be more shameful Some important changes in the Bombay Bank constitution are about lie ct ir e p etitioned for, in accord ance with resolutions at a meeting of share holders held on the 2o inst. The Times nye :— " Before tho bank wee allowed to commence businme in 1440, the whole capital of half a million and upwards (Its. b 2,24,000) requi:ed to be paid up: nearly the whole of this aas Merited in Government eecuritim, the restrictions of the charter depriving them of mire profitable hu‘lness.

A bonus fund, to induce old civilians to retire from the service, will not, it appears, answer for Bombay. None of the seniors will go, and the juniors would not boy them out even if they would. Tho com mandaota of all the provincial police corps have been appointed superintendents of general police in their districts, under the new rural police arrangements. The district of Angrias Geisha is to be transformed into a sub-collectorate subordinate to Tannah. The health of Professor Patton lies much improved, but it is feared he must go home. A dividend of four per cent. for the past half-year has been declared by the Delhi Bank, ono per cent. being carried to rtserve-fund account. The head qaarters of the Agra Bank is to be removed to Cal cutta. Dr. A. Eau, civil surgeon at Delhi, has re tired on 7001. a year. Mr. J. Sutcliffe has been nominated principal of the Ilindoo College, Cal matte. Nearly all the Benarea rioters have been released, on security, for future good behaviour; several of the ringleaders are to be tried. The East Indians of Madras are at length beginning to talk of emigrating to Australia. The Runnymede sails positively from Bombay on the 25th with about DO emigrants, many of whom aro East Indians. Ensign It. E Henry, 86th Ft., has been taken on the staff of Lord Falkland as an extra A.D.C. Two lawyers, Messrs. Dickens and Peterson, engaged on opposite sides of a case in the Calcutta Supreme Court, fell out at Tiffin (after the wine had fallen in) and were understood to have agreed to fight a duel on the conclusion of the trial. lhe chief magistrate got word of the affair, and bound each of them over in 30,000 rs. to keep the peace for ever and a day. Seer it. The regular mail left last night by the Auckland: the Achilles, with a mail and the passengers, leaves to-day at 1 o'clock. We lest night received news from rseinde is the 11th inst. The foundation stone of &protestant church was laid with great ceremony at Kurrachee on the 9th, by the commissioner, assisted by the clergy, the general, rid staff, and the whole community. A company of her Majesty's 64th Foot, with the regimental colour and band, and four guns of the Ist troop Horse Artillery, were pre sent at the ceremony. Eleven guns were fi red on the commissioner reaching the ground ; a royal salute on the stone being lowered into its place the band playing the National Anthem the while. The whole ceremony was well got through with, and was joined in right heartily by all present. The present was the first stone of • regular place of I'rotestant worship ever laid either in &inde or the Punjaub— the greater the reproach to us that it should be so. Major bbawe, 22nd N. 1., has come to Bombay for trial : his offence appears to have been what I imagined; he has been comforting Ali Moored under his misfortunes, and probably giving him the benefit of his advice and counsel. No great crime that one would suppose. 'iho weather was pleasant, and sickness trifling.—The troops sent out from Peshawar on the 17th, returned on the 27th. Lieutenant Sanders, with a troop of the 7th cavalry had pursued a fellow who tied from them, and overtaking him cut him to pieces : it turned out he was one of our own men, belonging to Lumsden's corps!

The Calcutta Englishman has the following later news from Burmah: Ramooorr, Auo. 28.—Captain Tariota', of the Fox, re turned yesterday to Rangoon, hating been relieved by Captain Shadwell, of the Spbynz, from the command of the steamflotilla up the river. Re states that a paper was found at llemiday, purporting to be a copy of a report to the King of Av., in which it is stated that at the afters of Rangoon 1,240 Europeans were killed, and that our alarm is so gnat that we bare 1,000 sentries round our camp at night. A very moderate exaggeration this, considering the general tendency of the Burmese character. August 31.—The arrangements fur the advance to Proms are progressing rapidly. The troops to form the Ist brigade are, I believe , H. lit's 18th Royal Irish, 80th Foot, end a native infante. regiment under Brigadier Reig nolds, C. 8., a company of Madras Artillery, with its light field battery, and two S-ineh iron howitzers ' under Lieut.- Col.

The Fire Queen and captured Chinese junk are now being loaded with the gam, ammuni tion, and ordnance stores; and as woo as this is com pleted, they are to proceed without delay to Hounds, on the Irrawaddy, and stay there till the troops arrive in the smaller steamers, which will leave Rangoon about the 20th er 26th premise. Two transports are to remain at Henzada as receiving ships; ammunition, storm and supplies to be sent thither trombones to small vessels or boats, and forwarded on in the larger steamers to Prome—a party of marines to protect the depot. Oa the arrival of the dust detachment at Proms, the steamers will return and take up a second, and Do on till the whole form is collected there. The whole of the troops now here will move on, leaving the new arrivals to take our place. The Burmese are mid to have established a very strong stockade seven miles from Prone inland, admittmg that they mama resist our steamers ; but that they intend doing great deeds when then they catch us away from their pro tection. — The Steenser Tanneries arrived yesterday afternoon, and the mail, for Calcutta direct, is to be closed at 4 p.m. to-day, se we ars not iadulged with much time for corre spondence. Nothing has transpired as to the farther In tentions or wishes of the Governor-General ; but there is • general belief that we shall not go beyond Proms, and that all the eoontry to the south of it will undoobtecily be su nned.

SHOCKING HIMMEL—The town of Irvine we.. thrown into a state of great consternation oa Monday night by the occurrence of another of those atrocious bete which we have bsu to record too frequestly of late. The parti culars, so far as we could learn them, were as follow : A worms of the name of Flannigen, raiding in Irvine, had left her husband fur the society of another man, who is, we understand, a hawker of crockery and other wane. On discovering her flight, the husband wept Immediately to W home of her father, also a resident of Irvine, with the view, we support, of obtaining some information regarding her, or perhaps expecting to find her there. Her father, who bore a rod character in the neighbourhood, could not give him the intelligence he desired, sad the man, an der the mespicioa of his being accessory to tho Eight, com menced a quarrel with him. From words he proceeded to blows, and, drawing a knife, Inflicted a severe stab, which be repeated on his vic'im attempting to escape into the silica. The Retool wound proved mortal; the old-man felt heavily oa the pavement, and when taken up the inju. ries wets tomtit to be fatal. Ile died shwa' icstataly.

The Orerland Biiewd of China, of August 21, in its general summary, says: " The news from China of most interest to the general reader is that, we apprehend, relating to the long•continucd insurrection. At latest advice. the aspect of affairs in the disturbed districts was rather favcorablo to the Imperialists—the road between Canton and Kwei-lin-too being reported clear of robber-gangs—trade, in consequence, taking • favourable turn. But intelligence from the more remote province of Hunan, where lien-tch and the great body of insurgents are said to be, is slow in arrival; and we know little or nothing of what has been done there since the capture of the district city Kong-fa, mentioned in another part." (Put (Mammal latelagenot roe poet 4.) COLONIAL. CEYLON. The Colombo Observer of Sept. 15, in its monthly summary, says : The past month has only afforded a week of tolerable weather amongst the high estates, the other three having been continually wet; this circumstance tends to keep back:the crop, and in place of being earlier than that of tart year, as it at one time promised, it will be consider ably later. Lower down the weather has been more mode rate, but they have experienced generally a good deal of rain. As the season of realisation approaches the expecte time of the coming crop seem to moderate considerably, and we hear of so many estates that will not " give so much as last year," that we fully expect that the coming ' crop will not equal the last. A good deal of native and low Made coffee is already gathered. This supply of labour has continued to be ample, and though coolies have been olitaineil readily sod/ all t h e put month, there is every probability that all offering will find employment. Extensive damage by buffaloes is now again complained of. At this season the natives have no employ. ment for them and turn them nut to live as they can; when the addiction of the animal for the plantations is only equalled by its sagacity in avoiding capture by strangers. You may bear of fences or ditches made sad proving suffi cient, but we have it from an eye witness that one in newt betty of great extent, which was quoted as a sample, is an utter failure. The fact being that any fence is gout whilst the animals are kept at work by their owners, but the im pregnable one is yet to be found when they are turned loose for months together. A planter dare not turn his bullocks which never tres pass on cultivation out to price on the Patinas without a herdsman ; would it he any hardship on a village commu nity to be forced to use the same precaution ? There is nothing new to report of the old pest, the bag, except thee in some places where the soil is very poor it is said the trees can hardly recover, or look as if they would die out. It dose not appear to he spreading. Planters or other proprietors are in better spirits, expecting that prices will be better for this crop, hut of course this will depend much on the rate of exchangembich causes a depreciatioli in value of from 2.. lid. to is. per cwt. ; and though Blot India Company's Bills are at par, there appears no better prospect for this year here as to ex change than there bar been the two Mat. TILE AUSTRALIAN MAIL PACKET RELBOu RN E. Misfortune still clings to the Australian Steam Navigation Company's steamer Melhouine, Capt. Arthur Cut. Having completed her repairs on Wednesday, the was moved from alongside the hulk where she had been lying (or repair by the dockyard authorities, when by some mismanagement she came in contact with toe Pallas coal hulk, and the Pike government steam tug, which was lying alongside the Pallas. The farce with which the send, came into collision was very great, and the shock carried away the jib-boom of the Meloourne, several planks from her bow, beside her port cathcad, and altogether inflicted such damage on this beautiful vessel that it is feared some ,lays must yet elapse before she cam proceed on her voyage. Her passengers, of which a large number were on board, were thrown into • state of confusion which can be better ima gined than described. Irrespective of the damage sustained by the Melbourne, the Pike strainer had her figure head carried away and several injuries about her haw. The Pallas coal hulk had also her bows stove in. The vessels are now lying together, and it is believed that artificen from the dockyard will be at once set to work in order to repair the damages sustained by the PC !bourne. It is said that the captain was advised not to attempt to move the versa until the turn of the tide, by Mr. Brew u, the assistant master attendant at the dockysra, but persisted in doing so, and the collision was the result. The pilot engaged to take the vessel out, who is not in the government employ, is said to have thought the delay suggested by Mr. Brown quite unnecessary. This misfortune will probably delay the Melbourne's departure to Friday morc.ing. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION TO ALSTRALTA.—Not withstanding the great number of emigrants who have beta sent out by her Majesty's Colonial Lanu and Emigration Commissioners to our Australian colonies during the pre sent year, the applications at the office in Park-s.reet, West minster, from persons soliciting to be sent out under the government regulations, are more numerous than can pos sibly be complied with. The persons applying ore chiefly agriculturists, mechanics, and women (neeillewomen, ser vants, &c.). The commixdoners have, however, derided upon sending out a few more this year (exceeding 2,000) of the above classes, the most required in our colonies; and the next ship appointed to sail is the Hope, of GOO tont, to be followed by others that have been contracted for, for that purpose, by government. With respect to "fortune seekers" to the "gold diggings," although now in the middle of October, there are no less than 40 ships getting ready in the St. Katherine's, London, West and East India Docks, ranging tram 400, 500, GOO, 800, to 1,500 tons each, appointed to soil during the present month to l'ort Phillip, Geelong, Melbourne. Western Australia, Adelaide, Sydney, New South Wale', &c. ; and from Liverpool 10 tint class shiipz, with adventurers to the "golden regions." KOVAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANT.—At the general meeting of the shareholders in this company, held yesterday, at the London T , the report of the directors was adopted, and a dividend declared for the first half of the current year, at the usual rate of two pounds per share, free of income-tax. The report states that, notwithstanding an increased expenditure caused by the augmentation of the company's fleet, the result of the working account shows in the six months an increase in receipts of 35,4361. 9s. 4d., whilst the additional expenditure is only 35,9751. ss. Id., a portion of which has been caused by an increase in the amount placed to the credit of the insurance fund. In reference to the irregularities in Vie arrivals of the West India packets, of which the public have had so much reason to complain, the directors state that it questionable if they can be altogether avoided. where the combinations are so intricate and so dependent upon each other. On the West India mail service the company's ships touch at no less than twenty-eight different ports, and at all hours of the day and night, involving con siderable risk, and frequent unavoidable delays; whereas on the Breed and other direct routes, comprehending sin gle voyages across the ocean, there is little or no risk of de tention from circumstances beyond the possibility of con trol, and hence it may be observed that the service between England and the Brazils has been performed throughout with most perfect regularity. Respecting the West India line, however, the directors confidently anticipate that when the proposed arrangements are completed, whereby the largest class ships will be employed exclu sively between Southampton and St. Thomas, greater des pitch and punctuality will be attained, and the general comfort of passenger, materially promoted. With the view of accelerating the inter-c dosial service between St. Thomas, the Pacific Ocean, and Mexico, two ships, especially suited for those particular branches, are now iu progress of construction. We hope, both for the interests of their shareholders and the public, that their anticipations may be speedily realised. Such acceleration as that promised is loudly called for, and unless it is promptly carried out, the directors may feel as ' need that passengers will not fail to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded ,by the Cunard and American lines, of reaching their destination in the West Indies. Mexico, or the shores of the Pacific in much shorter time than has hitherto been accomplished by the steamers of the Welt India Mail Company. The list of their fleet, which they have now published, certainly shows a formidable amount of tban•ge and horse power, but all this is of no avail unless each vessel is competent to perform her several voyages at the same speed and with the same punctuality as the vessels of competing companies. EXTENSINE SLIP ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—On Wednesday morning the traflic on the main line of the Great Northern Railway was suddenly interrupted by an extensive " slip " of earth on the Spiltal gate cutting, about a mile south of Grantham. It appears that the stratum through which the cutting is formed con sists of marl and clay, and alluvial soil, and that the late heavy rains having penetrated into the necks and fissures at the top of the cutting, and expanded the soil at the bottom, the west side suddenly gave way about four o'clock on Wednesday morning, under the vibration of a heavy goods train which was proceeding northward. Some thou sands of tons of earth fell upon both lines of rails, burying the engine and foremost trucks of the train, which of course was brought to a stand-still. The engine driver and stoker both escaped unhurt, and they at once proceeded to the °northern station to give the alarm. On examination it was found that the down rails had been completely forced from their beds, and with the engine and tender deposited on the other line of rails. The slip extended about 100 pude ; and it is not the first that has occurred here. The obstruction was so great that it was feared some days at least must elapse before the traffic could be resumed. Mr. Denison, the chairman of the Great Northern Compeer, visited the scene of the accident in the course of the morn ing, and a large force of men was employed to clear the line. The through passenger trains were forwarded from Peterborough to ltetford by wiry of the loop. By dint of extraordinary exertions day and night the up line was cleared yesterday morning in time to allow of the morning express, which conveyed the Duchess of Kent and her suite, being forwarded to town from Doncaster by the main hoe. FATAL CONFLICT AT A BALL. —The locksmiths Of Copenhagen assembled with their wives and female friends ten days ago in a public-house to have a dance. Six soldiers presented themselves and demanded adm ission. They were at first refund, but the +teemed. at length Con sented to allow them to enter provided they weal.) lay nodv their swords. The soldiers declared they would not do so. and went away in a ng e r . Presently they returned with several of their comeides ; each had a drawn sword in his hand.
