A NEW CANDIDATE FOR WE.stMitinink The Carlton Club intand to start Lord Maidstone (the son of the Earl of Winchilrea, and the rejected of Newark), for the representation of Westminster. It now, thererore, behoves the free-traders at once to unite their energies to secure the return of General Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir John Villiers Shelley, the liberal candidates. EnDentat6l4.—NoMINATIoN Or MR. MACAULAY.— % Monday afternone, a meeting of the Original Liberal /ter:Tecate Committee was held in the Merchants' Hume ' , square, Edinburgh, to receive a communication from the sub-committee appointed by the meeting held on the 14th ult. There was a YET numerous attendance, the hell being crowded. Mr. Adam Bleck was called to the their, and in the course of an eloquent address he stated that in consequence of the influence which had been used, he had the happiness of announcing that although Mr. Ma caulay would not run the risk of a second rejection, yet if the constituency of Edinburgh elected him, he would con eider this unsolicited honour cleanly honourable, and would serve them faithfully. Mr. Bailie Morrison then moved, and Mr. P. llowden seconded the following resolution, which was carried unanimously That this meeting ap prove of the suggestion of bringing forward Mr. Macaulay as a representative for the City , of Edinburgh at the mum lag elee•tinn, and emotee to take all necessary measures for securing his return."—Mr. A. Thomson said I nelieve that Mr. Macaulay ia unchanged and unchangeable in his political principles; and I am perfectly satisfied that, if he is returned to parliament, he will do common justice to every iset in the *spire. I am alsa quite satisfied with the declaration made by our chairman, that if Mr. Macau lay is elected he will serve, and consider it an honour to re pre..nt this .ity. I preemie three cheers for Mr. Macaulay. (The meeting responder' to the call by rising en mime and giving three hearty cheers, many waving their hate, Mad ill erherfv, &'l—After a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. SoFTIINtRK.—Last evening a meeting of the elittors of the borough of Southwark was held is the Leather Market, New Newton-street, Benseedery, for the purpose of taking such steps as might be dressed espedient to secure the re-election of Sir William Moleeworth.. One of the large store rooms was crowded, sad the proceedings we re of the moat enthusiastic description. Dr. Challice havt • e bee•-n tie, ted to the chair, Sir William Melssworth came forward and, on riciag, was loudly cheered. He up peered before them to ask the men of Southwark to return Lin to that honourable post which he had filled for seven an. Ile was aware that three objections were made to hon. They were, his sentiments on the Maynooth Grant ; tt•l he had devoted too much attention to coke. tee! policy ; nod that he wee a non-resident. On ..tittpct of Maynout_ his sentiments were now as 11 ''l eeer had been. The Maynooth grant was objected to on wcont of the antipathy to the Roman catholic faith, but while the endowment of the protestant church existed in le . 'snel, he never could vote for the dieendowment of Majneeeh. Sir Welliarn then dilated upon the various .I.e•weens npon which he had addrewed the ileum of Caw , In.a , ttittrin g the seven years he represented the borough. thd,•• can in parl eamen t as a free trader; he was then lip his colleagues that the measure he advocated, hke many others, never could be carried out, but fpe trade was carried, and taw Moral ?F t / la 1° sec were singeing to ire-establish that which sever e.ull meet amain in this e ciente,. H. had strenesous/y pod in Militia Bill, and was i n favour of a redasties th, asses{ sod military establishments, which could be beet I 'r'mplished by allowing local self-government is our "" 41 + 1 1emessiens He dreaded and abhorred war, but at the same time he wee not a feces Society man. for he would prefer to tight than to suffer an insult to be given to our country by the mightiest foreign potentate. There were three candidates, all nearly of the mme political opinions. Ho trusted that no ill-feeling would elitist, as they all had two votes. All he asked was one of them. There being no response to the chairman's appeal to the meeting to propose any question to the honourable candi ' date, George Bevington, Esq., moved, and Richard Saun ders, Beg., seconded, the f' Bowing resolution, which wss carried fry acclamation " That this meeting, having heard the political sitatimente of Sir Wiliam Molesworth, is of opinlea that he 1. justly entitled to support for the active support he at all times has given to free trade, for his advocacy of all measures having fur their object the benefit and advancement of the people, and for the attention paid by him to the interests of the borough; and pledgee itself to use every exertion to seance his return to parliament at the ensuing electiun. - -Sir Will am Molesivorth moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, who having responded, this very enthusiastic ;netting separated. - - - - - KING'S LTNN.—it has been hitherto expected that Lord Stanley (as well as his colleague, Lord Jocelyn), would retain his neat for the borough, without opposition ; the liberal free-traders have, however, determined to try the result of a contest, with which view they have, within the last few days, been busily employed in getting up a requi sition to Mr. Robert Puhley (recently retired from his candidature for York), calling upon that gentleman to allow himself to he put in nomination, which it is presumed he will do, should a strong show of signatures he obtained, of which no doubt is entertained. Mr. l'ashley is in favour of parliamentary reform, extension of the franchise, vote by ballot, &.. There has been no contest for the represen tation of the borough sloes 1637, when the liberal eandi date, Major Keppcl, obtained a majority of promisee, but was in a minority of eight votes at the poll. - - MANcuEsrka.—There was a rumour in Manches ter, yesterday, that the lion. Captain Denman, one of the new candidates, wax about to retire. This report was either wholly unfounded or premature ; the gallant officer expresses a confident expectation of 100204, but the rumour probably aria.s from the fact that Mr. Loch and his friends have been known to solicit split votes between Mr. Gibson and Mr. Loch in Captain Deninan's presence, which has been taken as an admission that only one of the two had seen a chance of sumer. MACCLEsrti:I.I3.—A vigorous contest has already Colllollleili in this borough. There are three candidates ;1 Mr. Brocklehunt and Mr. John Williams, the present members, and both free traders; and Mr. C. E. Egerton, a " Derbyite." Mr. Brocklehurst, who possesses immense local influence, is certain of his return, and the contest will lie between Mr. Williams and Mr. Egerton. Mr. Egerton, though now, for the none, repudiating any desire to re store the corn-laws, is the same gentleman who, so late as 1850, on the elevation of Sir J. Jervis to the bench, con tested Chester against Mr. W. 0. Stanley, and at that time upon avowed protectionist principles. Member of that great Egerton family which is conspicuous in the election eering annals of Cheshire, and which has considereple direct and indirect influence in and about Mac.- clestield, and possessing, himself, vast wealth which he has publicly declared he will use in every " legitimate" manner towards the furtherance of his purposes, it is es petted that he will run Mr. Williams very hard ; and, de spite the great popularity of MeWilliarna, more particularly among the working men—a popularity which not only in Macclesfield, but in all other parts of the country, he has earned by a consistent course of thorough and uncompro mising liberalism—it is by no means certain that he will keep his seat. His friend( are, however, exerting them pelves heartily in his favour ; and he is facing the vague Derbyism" of his opponent with an enviable list of the votes he has given on reform, economy, end liberal mea sures generally, since the beginning of this parliament. SOUTH LANCASIIIRL—The Derby gold digging must have been very prolific, for wherever Deebyite candi dates spring up there is sure to be money stirring. When the new candidates were launched foe Manchester, every body asked where " all that money" came from. Even some of the paid easvaseers,:whilet acknowledging that chances were against them, generally added, with a shrug, " Bat there's ph nty of money to spend." An attempt was made some months :Igo to get up a conservative opposition br South Lancashire, but Lord Ellesmere repudiated the party who were making sae of his son's name, and the effort was abortive. Everyone said if the Ellesmere interist could not carry a candidate, which the noble earl admitted was the case in the present state of the register, there was no chance. But now, all et once, a contest is spoken of more confidently than ever; and what is more, " the money " has made its appearatien most mysteriously. In answer to the question, " Have you the candidates ?" which was put on Tuesday, the answer was, " No, but we have the money." Yesterday, the candi dates were mentioned ea Sir Thomas Hnketh, Bert., and Captain Egerton, R.N., son of Lord Ellesmere, again. In cosuesion with "the mosey," another noble earl, the initial to whose title stands tearer the end of the alphabet, and whose seat is not far from Manchester, is meatioued. Requisitions were handing about yesterday in Manchester, and other large towns, and there seems but little doubt that a contest is intended. Sir Thomas Hesketh was first spoken of as a protectionist candidate for North Lancashire. His father stood for South Lancashire in 1832, and was beaten by Mr. George Wm. Wood and Lord Molyneux by great odds—even when the commercial and manufacturing interests hal much less power in the county than now. The numbers were W. Wood, whig, 5,600 votes ; Lord ' Molyneux, whir, 5,676 ; Sir Thomas Hesketh, conserva tive, 3,182. Win Noarocit.—Althongh opposition has been threatened upon both ewes, and preparatitnas for a contest for some time strong on, the election seems likely to pees over quietly, as it is now confidently stated, in quarters likely to be well informed, that a compromise has been I fleeted, by which the sitting members, Messrs. B■rqg~ee and Coke (the former conservative and the latter liberal), are guaranteed the continuaneo of their seats without opposi tion. - Tte 4113 rt CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.-THIS DAY.

GMeeppe Emmeline, 20, and Emmanuel Angola, 22, two Italian seamen, were indicted for the wilful murder of Thomas Marley. Mr. Bodkin end Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution; Mr. Parry end Mr. Robinson defended the prisoners. The facts of this ease have appeared very recently in our columns. The learned counsel for the prisoners addressed the jury, and, en behalf of Remorino, it was urged that the act he had committed could not, under any circumstances, amount to a hi g h er crime than mauslaughter ; and, with regard to WI other prisoner, it was contended that, ender the cir cumstances, he was eutitl d to an acquittal altogether, as there was no pouf that he had in any way concurred in the proceeding of the other prisoner. The jury returned into court with a verdict of "Guilty of Manslaughter " against both prisoners, but recommended Antola to mercy. Baron Alderson sentenced them to be imprisoned and kept te hard labour for two years. AT VIZ MEETING OF TUE MEXICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN Coy held yesterday afternoon, • divi dend of le. pee share was declared, payable on the 20th proximo, and also one of similar amount payable on the 20th of January next.

LAMENTABLE Loss or Lire ON THE RIP/S,— Oa Tuesday night, shortly before 12 o'clock, the following lamentable occurrence resulted in the sacrifice of three lives off Caen's Wharf, near the Old Globe Stairs, It•dherhitbe. A long narrow barge was being laden with stone at Ceen's Wharf, Lower Rot ht rhitbe, there being at the time three persons in the cabin. The master and the !Mr were on the shore maiming to get the cargo on board the craft, when the vessel suddenly turned over on its side, and went down with the deck towards the frontage of the wharteompletely preventing the persons therein from making their escape. The men who witnessed the accident were unable to re.cue the sufferers, but an instant alarm was raised, and in a ahort tame a large body of poi ee from Paradise-street station and others went to the aid of the master, but the only mans of getting at the bodies was by cutting a hole through the side of the barge. The first body got out was that of Mrs. Lydia Whitlock, aged 25 years, the wife of the master, which was followed by her infant child, Isabella Whitlock, aged 1 year. In a few minutes afterwards they discovered the body of Mrs. Mary Castle, aged 36 years. The master of the vi mel was in a frantic state at the lose of his wife and child, and in a em.vereation with the police attrihuteil the sad disaster to the blocks of stone not being placed in the centre of the craft, while others state at was c..used by the swell of a large steamer proceedin down the river a f e w minutes before the accident took place.

TIIE BRITIEU ASSOCIATION.—It has been arranged that the meeting of the British Association for the Advance ment of Science is to commence en the Ist September, at Belfast. The preliminary proceedings have been very spirited on the part of the influential residents at Belfast, and there is a peculiar feature in the arrangements which deaerves notice. All the sections into which the association divides itself for convenience of discussion, wid hold their twins/sunder one roof, the excellent building of Queen's College, which, as well a, all the public buildings in Bel. tan likely to be useful in this great gathering of B • ' h science, has been placed at the disposal of the managing committee.

Nicholls, shortly before his death, exprened his belief that the poiaoned cakes were placed In the street through which be was in the habit of proceeding to his work by • woman now called Bet Brash, whom he bad married 18 years ago, but from whom he had been separated fur upwards of 10 years.

TRIBUNALB OF COMMERCE. Yesterday a meeting of the friends of the move ment for the establishment of Tribunals of Commerce was held t the London Tavern, for the purpose of organising a sub-committee to promote the object of the association, Mr. MOHTAOUR GORR, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that, though not engaged In trade himself, he felt the great advantage that must accrue to the trading community, and to all classes of the country gene rally, Ivy making law proceedings less onerous. He incul cated the necessity of union if they wished to succeed. They did not meet to find fault with any one, but to inquire whether there were not certain legal obstacles which, if removed, would prove • great benefit to the community. This was the object of the Society for the Establishment of Tribunals of Commerce ; but in order that they might be established on • satisfac tory basis it would be necessary that the feeling of the pub lic should be decidedly expressed in their favour. He should therefore recommend that petitions be prepared, end sent to the next parliament, asking for their establishment. It would also be necessary to inquire into the success of tribunals of commerce wherever they were established. He found that such courts were established in Bremen, Home, Russia, Prussia, Wurtemberg, Sardinia, Malta, France, and other countries. In France all incr. motile disputes were settled by these tribunals ; in fact, all cases that mom oat of the rcde de Commerce. If similar tribunate were established in this country it would be necessary to have a code of commercial taw, according to which their proceed ings would .be regulated. He thought that greet pod would result from the revision and simpliticatim of their commercial laws. No one was more ready then Ise was to admit the general ability and the great industry of lawyers. but it not untrmquetitly happened that they fell into great error from their ignorance of the nature of trade. Great evil sometimes arose also from paying too greet a deference to precedents. These evil would be removed if practical men bad to deal with the cases as they immediately came before them. He would support by every means in his power the establishment of tribunals of commerce in this country. (Cheers.) Mr. LTxl observed that a memorial in favour of the establishment of tribunals of commerce was aigued by 1,000 of the mercantile arms of London. (Hear.) The chair man had alluded to the necessity of union, and he had the pleasure of informing them that the differences of opinion which prevailed between some of the friends of this move ment no longer existed, and hoped that they would now go forward as a perfectly united body to secure the object which they bad in view. He proposed the following gen tlemen as the future executive committee:—Mr. George Jackson, Mr. H. H. Leicester, Mr. F. Hart, Mr. J. Fisher, Mr. T. Aston ' Mr. T. Lee, Mr. C. R. Richardson, Mr. Hyde Clarke, Mr. E. H. Lindo, and Mr. T. Francis. These gentlemen would form an unpaid executive of merchants, and, considering how vs/liable their time must be to them, they must (-el strongly on this subject when they under took such a duty. Mr. (Jazzy, in seconding the motion, advocated the ne cessity of codifying their commercial laws, and establishing a ti ihunal of commerce to carry them out. Mr. E. B. Loveu. supported the motion, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro- MINES. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The market for mining sharer remains firm, and an upward tendency is generally manifested, although business, owing to the causes referred to by us on former occasions, is not brisk. There was consider able demand to-day for Wheal Brewer, Great Wheal Alfred, Alfred Consols, and South Tamar shares. The prices at which sales have been made are re potted to us as follows by the most respectable brokers and dealers, but due allowance must be made for the wide margin frequently existing in this variable market as between buyer and seller: —Great Alfred, 19, 1, 20; Clive, 61, ; Kil bricken, 41, 3; South Tamar, 31, lex div. ; Drakewalls, 61; North Buller, 71 ; West Alfred Consols, 23; Mary Ann, 44 ; East Seton and Maud, 81. There are few transactions offering in the gold mining shares, and prices show no symptom of rally ing. Ague Friu were flatter again and closed 1 dis. to par, which is also the quotation for Nouveau Mrndes. It is rather singular that although we are daily chronicling the arrival in our ports of vessels bringing extensive remittances of Australian gold, no inquiry for shares in the colonial gold mining adventures is experienced, and, in some instances, the depreciation is as much u 7s. 6d. to 10s. dis. on the 11. share. Australian Consols are quoted 1 dia. to par; Melbourne, par to prem.; Yuba River, 3.16 to 6-16 prem. ; Royal Australian Mining, 1 dis. to par ; Britannia, / dia. to / prem. Cobre shares again rose 10s. to-day, and English and Australian copper smelting shares were rather better. THIS DAY.

THIS DAY. Two o'CLocc. The railway market is well supported Soon after the opening of the market an attempt was made to put down prices upon the strength of the less fa vourable comparison of the traffic returns with those of last year, which embraced Whitson-week, and the prices of some descriptions slightly declined, includ ►ng Caledonians, Cheat Northern., North British, and South Buterns. The market is now firmer again, however, a disposition to support quotations being generally observable. French shares are quiet. nulls AND iTOOIII lINGOARANTIUM. rale& talky up se: LULWATIL 1111m11•1". 614 /kb Was* Lasasslar Jemleils_l2l. *NM rd Isar ... 7 I= d iall WOW . sevre!;i;r:: ne - ITS .o.6 — ries7rafi ▪ mera(sasi: a gad Lau) . - • Da (mg IL) ..

WEDNESDAY EVENING. The course of the English stock market to-day was precisely similar to that of yesterday. Consols were fora moment sold at 99, but closed with a firm ep ee at 99; to j ex. div. for the 16th July. t e i: l s r i a n n ess is moderate, and the general aspect of the market good. Another investment was made in Reduced Threes at 1001 for the Sinking Fund. The list of actual business comprises:—Three per Cent. Consols, for the opening, 99 1 „ 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 1001 ' 1, 1. New +hree - and-a Quarter per Cents., 1021, 103, 21, 3. Long Annuities, 1860, 6 15-16. Bank Stock, 2221. Exchequer Bills are steady at 745.t0 775. prem. for the March, and 68a. to 71s. prem. for the June issue. India Bonds were sold at 86e. prem. The foreign stock market has assumed a firmer tone during the last few days, and a general up ward tendency is observable, whilst business appears' to be increasing. Buenos Ayrean Bonds reached MO today, but receded to 77 towards the close. Nume-1 roue inquiries have been made as to whether any advice' have been received by the committee by the steam ship Teviot, and a good deal of dissatisfaction has been expressed on learning that no information whatever can be met with at the office of the com mittee. The bondholders, however, in their present anxiety, are only suffering the penalty of their own supineness. Perhaps, after all, the committee ought scarcely to be blamed for their ina bility to furnish information, for, in fact, they appear to be perfectli powerless, the entire management of the debt at the present critical con juncture being still le ft in the hands of the Messrs. Borings, with whom it has rested tbr the last twenty years without any substantial benefit to the bond holders. The utility of the committee, as at present constituted, may be judged of by the fact which has been elicited by the inquiries made, that although it is true the Messrs. Baling" sent out two agents to Buenos Ayres by the April packet, the members of the committee themselves are perfectly ignorant of the instructions given to these two gentlemen, are unaware to what extent they were authorised to make engagements on the part of the bondholders, and in fact do not appear to be by any means certain if the mission be not merely on behalf of the Messrs. Borings, in connexion with the numerous financial and other transactions of that eminent firm in South America. After waiting patiently for a quarter of a century, the bondholders consider that the opportunity thrown open by the overthrow of Rosa' is being wantonly overlooked, and the majority of them concur in the recommendation given by us months back, that if a public meeting had been held, the committee reconstituted on a good working basis, a strong but respectful memorial to the new government drawn up, and a special agent sent out direct from the bondholders to back it, a satisfac tory arrangement of this lung-neglected debt would ere now have been in course of con clusion. New Grsnadan, Mexican, Peruvian, Russian, and Venezuelan securities are all advanc ing, and Spanish and most other descriptions are quiet but firm. The day's sales arc shown in the following :—Austrian Five per Cent. Scrip, 21, 23, 21 prem. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 95. Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 100_1. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 79, 80, 7R, 77. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 631, 64 ; ditto Four per Cent. Certifs., 961. Ecuaor Bonds, 41. Granada De ferred, 101, 10, z, 9z. Mexican Old Bonds, for ac count, 30th June, 32 ; ditto New Three per Cents., 25 1 , 1. Peruvian Actives, 1041 ; ditto Deferred Three per Cents., 641, 65. Portuguese Four per Cents., for account, 371, 1. Russian Five per Cents., 117; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 106, 41. Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 211. Venezuela Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 411, 42 ; ditto Deferred, 161. Canada Six per Cent. Bonds are quoted in the Stock Exchange 1141. City Navigation Three-and a-Half per Cent. Bonds are worth 97. We notice that Colonel Facio has expressed him self as ready to issue to-morrow all the new Mexican bonds to the creditors. Upon this subject we hear the bondholders express an anxious hope that the committee have not been apathetic, but have taken upon themselves to interfere, with a view to the due guardianship of the interests of their consti tuents. We suggestedsome time ago that every new bond issued by Colonel Facio ought to be counter signed by the secretary of the committee, and a re gistry of their numbers kept. Unless this precau tion is adopted, the bondholders will certainly visit upon the committee any irregularity such as has dis graced other conversions, should any such unhappily occur. The measure is, indeed, essential for the due protection of the creditors, and could riot fairly be objected to by any one. Another point of the committee's duty is to insist upon Col. Facie publishing the amobnt of Mexican Bonds converted, and the numbers of those which, according to the agreement made aWI the creditors, ought to be cancelled by boring a hole through the middle. After our past experience in these matters, it will readily be granted that too much caution cannot be exercised. There was another large import of gold from Aus tralia to-day, the Blackwall having arrived from Sydney with 57,413 oz., worth 229,&.521. The Queen of the South, screw steamer, which sailed from Ply mouth yesterday afternoon for the Cape, took out 1 40,000/. in specie. This remittance, it is to be pre sumed, is to meet tho requirements of the Kaffir war. The exchange at Paris on London, which has for some time shown a downward tendency, has a• length descended to 25.40 for short. The transactions in bank shares this week have again been highly important, and the whole of this interest is experiencing a rapid advance in value. During the week Australasia shares have risen 21., British North American 31., Provincial of Ireland 305., and Union of Australia 11.

KATHARINE'S DOCILS.— Shortly after nine o'clock last night a lire, which from its proximity to the London and St. Katharine's Docks created much excitement, burst forth from the extensive warehouse and stores of Messrs. Hubbuck and Son, ship chandlers and oil and colourmen, situate on the north side of Upper East Smithfield, immediately fronting the north-east angle of St. Katharine's Docks. The premises covered a large space of ground, four stories in height, and extending to a considerable depth, combining steam-mills for grinding colours, and capacious stores of every description. The warehouse was closed at the usual time in the evening, when the different departments seemed perfectly safe. The discovery of the fire was made by some persons whose attention was drawn to a great light in one of the upper floors. Giving an alarm, the policeman on the beat promptly followed out the regulations in case of fire of keeping the front doors closed and sending off messengers to the various brigade stations. This precaution, how ever, had but little effect, for before there was time for an engine to get to the spot, the two upper floors with their heavy inflammable stock were one gereral body of fire. Engines from all quarters of the metropolis speedily arrived, but before then the conflagration had assumed a terrible sepect. There were some thousands of tons of oil in tanks in various parts of the bedding, besides a very large stock of pitch, tar, rosin, turpentine, and other combustible materials. As leaf be imagined, these on becoming ignited produced an immense body of flame, which, rising to • considerable height above the surrounding buildings, lighted up the docks and the whole of the east end of Lon don with awful brilliancy. At an early gage of the tire the authorities of St. Katherine's Doclio, being apprehen sive that the flames would be wafted over to their ware houses, had their floating engine brought up to the quay side near the wall facing the burning stores, and being gut into play threw from the summit of the wall a considetable body of water onto the flaming premises. Such was the character of the contents, however, that the water had very little effect. The fire c . mtinued to rage with unabated vehe meucc, and notwithstanding the joint workingot the whole of the brigade engines, with that of the West of England, the firemen were unable to master the destructive element until near 12 o'clock, by which limo scarcely • vestige of tho various floors of the warehouses remained. All were Ile ktroved, the walls alone remaining. There were several buildings which adjoined Messrs. Ilubbuck's property which have sustained much damage ; but the details of the various damages had nut up to the period of this being written been ascertained by the brigade officer,. 'they, however, appeared to be extensive. Most of the engines were efficiently worked by the tars from the docks. The origin of the fire could not be learned. The total loss of property is heavy, but the firm are Insured. SAILING OF TUE QUEEN OF TUE SOHTII.--The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's fine vessel, th e Queen of the South, C a pt. Hyd e , sailed from Plymouth on Tuesday, at four o'clock in the afternoon, with the mails for the Cape of Good Rope and for the East Indies- We learn that this vessel has returned to Plymouth damaged, and that letters by to-night's post will le in time to car ried oat by her. — prior yeslordsy. reinfts....,4—,. ref II i P 4 Pi Si 731 4 71 u+ 106 4 6 1 1414 16 fl 4 94 si 4 Le 31 681 •i 3 31i I ll' 20 4 20 ii I'S 743 u* 40 Si 1 141 6 NI I I I N I 9 li k 11l to 14 14 ti
