The testator was then finally mode to give 7501. COOPOIS to hr brother, 750/. Console to a sister, sad 7501. Consols to the children of • deceased sister ; and the proposed will eontained no residuary bequest. That was the document which Cooke carried in his pocket ready prepared when he accompanied the priest on the Monday to the abode of Cane. The only evidence of what passed in the room was derived from the affidavits of the pticst and of Cooke, and from the statement of Hamilton of what was afterwards communicated to him. Taking the fact' as represented by the priest and Cooke, it appeared that they conversed with Carre, and that in the course of such conversation Cooke suegested to Carr& that if, instead of a will, he were to execute a deed of gift, he would thereby save the charity the legacy duty, amounting to 7001. In consequence of what was thus stated to Carre, he consented to execute a deed of gift, and it is represented by the affidavits of the pried and Cooke, that accordingly the will which had been prepared by Cooke was not produced, and certainly not executed; and that they thereupon left Caere" with instructions to prepare a deed of gift, and also to prepare another will to the same effect with that part of the one which had been prepared which related to the dispositions out of the 3,0001. consols. It was admitted by both Cooke and the priest that Cooke was an entire stranger to Carre, that he never heard of him ; that he, Cooke, was brought on the stage entirely at the call and bidoing of the priest, and it would be proper to describe him, therefore, throughout the transaction, or until what occurred atter the death of Caere, as acting en tirely under the influence of his spiritual director. The result was that they went away intending to prepare a deedeef gift for execution, The evidence shows that Cooke prepared that deed, that be engrossed it or had it en grossed, and that he paid for the stamps on the deed; that in all this Cooke acted by the priest's orders, or under his direction, and that he brought hack the documents to the priest's house on the Thurs day following, being the 4th of March. The affida vits show that they then again attended at Carol's abode. It appeared that ou the first occasion of their goine there they had been accompanied by two females as intended wit nesse, of the will prepared by Cooke. tpon the alteration of the plan of proceeding these intended witnesses had been dismissed by the priest. On the 4th of March, then, the purlieu attended at Carri's house, no intermediate communication having taken place with Caere, and the documents were then brought engrossed and ready for immediate execution. Cooke had paid for the stamps, sad he and the priest, accompanied by Miss Clarke, who at that time kept a boarding-school in the immediate neigh bourhood of the congregation in Somers-town. and a Mr. Joseph Hay, formerly a clerk in Wright's banking-house, and at that time clerk in a joint-stock bank in In the meantime Carre had become much worse, and had given directions that neither the priest nor Cooke should be admitted. Oa the arrival of the party at Cam's house em th Thuralay afternoon they were received by Hamilton at the door. Ile communicated to them the feet that Carni was very ill, and that he Lad given positive orders forbidding their being allowed to enter his apartment. Thereupon an al tercation took place between the priest and Hamil ton, and notwithstanding Hamilton's opposition, the priest pushed by him and passed with morc or less of violence and went upstairs into the room of Carre. It was admitted in the affidavits that Carri acknowledged that he had forbid ' den their entrance. It was then admitted that the priest communicated with Carr! in French, of which Hamilton was ignorant, the latter hosing followed up stairs remon strating own the violent intrusion into the room. Ilamilton said he was ignorant of what was said, or of what denun ciations were held out erainet the dying man. After some time the latter consented that the remainder of the party should come up stairs. The priest himself admitted that he told Carre that what was about to be done would be for his spiritual good. The priest then desired the other parties to come up. It appeared that one Brown, of New Bond street, was at this time at Hamilton's house un a call, and that he was applied to by Hamilton to prevent the priest's interference. Ile went up stairs with the parties, Cooke, Hay, and Clark. It appeared from the priest's own state- I corns, that on Brown's entering the room the priest desired him to have. Brown; however, refused and remained in the room. As to what then passed in the room the evi dence was contradictory. It was sworn on one side that the old nom believed the instruments presented were different in their nature and object from that for which they were in reality prepared. It was sufficient to say that according to the acknowledgment of the defendant the old man immediately as the matter being passed desired that they would not proceed, and that he had done so with as much energy as he could command. lie desired that they would cease to preen him, and wished to lxe left alone. He refused in fact to execute. The priest then again inter fered. What passed between them was nut known, hut the priest again became the organ to express what was represented to he the wish of the testator. Ile said that the testator's wish was that the matter should emceed. Cooke, who all along acted as much under the influence of his spiritual director as the testator, then com menced reading the deed. It appeared that Cooke, after manifesting repugnance, desired to leave the room. The priest, however, interposed, and Cooke remained under his influence. On the statement of the priest of Cirri's wil lingness that the matter should proceed, Cooke continued the reading of the deed. At the conclusion the priest placed a pen in the hand of Caere, and with his own hand guided that of the donor, and in a way compelled him to sign. At the same time, the will which had been prepared was presented and slimed in a similar manner. All this took place be tween live mud seven o'clock of the afternoon. Every document being thus signed, including a power of attorney to Cirike to enable him to make an immediate transfer of the fund, this power was attested by Miss Clarke, and by Brown, at the request of the priest. It appeared, from the defendant's own showing, that the old man, who had all along consented, in consequence of importunity, had no mind to let the documents be completed. He required them to be left with him as soon WI they were signed. lie said—" Now leave the documents with me." Ile was then told by Cooke that the deed of trust and the power of attorney could not he left. It was shown by the evidence., though this was denied by the defendants, that this communication excited a good deal of indignation on the part of the old man. Notwithstanding the requ. st of the testator, thus intiruated, the documents were carried' away by Ceske, who then left the house. It having been previously allowed that Cooke was to have a legacy of 50/., Cooke had prepared a codicil to that effect, which he left with the priest. Oa his leaving the house, the priest sat down and perfected the codicil in his own handwriting, and then procured its execution by the tes tator in them= manner as the will. That was the broad statement of what actually occurred, as furnished by the evidence adduced by the defendants themselves. Cooke took the power of attorney at once to the bank, where it was required to be left for a certain time. That was on Thursday. On Saturday at about two o'clock the transfer was made, and at four o clock of the same day the old man It did not appear that the priest had gone near the old man after the transaction on Thureday, so that he died unisinfessed, ungheolved, and without any offer of the spiritual comfort, to °lit In wh;ch here and hereafter lie hail been induced to execute the documents in question. For this the only excuse. offered by the priest was that the medical man had told him on Friday that Carr! was much better. The Court then row, the remainder of the learned coun sel's opening being postponed mud to-morrow. Baran Leas emeweiga (ewe Cieser.u.ose eIIEfAIRIE r. WISEMAN AND OTIIERS.

It appeared that the prosecutor was a waggoner, and on the night of the kith of November he was going with his waggon on the London road, near Brentwood. A boy was driving, and he was asleep in the hinder part of the waggon, when two men jumped from the hedge by the road side, and got into the waggon and rifled the pockets of the pros seentin, using considerable violence to him in the course of the proceeding. •l ' he prosecutor positively identified one of the prisoners, and the lad who was driving spoke to the other; ant there were other circumstances deposed to which tended to establish the guilt of the prisoners. Mr. Parnell addressed the jury for the defence, and ens deavoureddo satisfy the jury that the witnesses were mis taken in speaking to the identity of the prisoners. Mr. James summed up the ea.. very minutely to the jury, and he particularly reminded them that, before they Entail r: turn a verdict of guilty, they ought to be aatished that the identity of the prisoners had been established beyond any reasonable doubt.

Northern Railway authorities, the judge did notarrive till four o'clock, and the whole of the busineiu, beyond the opening of the commission, was postponed. The judge and officials and members of the bar left Northampton by a train which should have arrived at Peterborough in time for the express train, which leaves the latter place at 11.12 am. t h e Nurth-Western station and the Great Northern station are a mile apart, and on the arrival of the train from Northampton there was only seven minutes to spare. Baron Alderson and the clerk of Win set out for the Great Northern station immediately, but before their arrival the train to Lincoln had started. Application was then made for a special train for the judges and the bar, upon the principle of paying express fares, the total of which would have amounted to 301. The station master, however, said he could trot go beyond his instructionq, and he demanded as. each in addition, so ns to make the sum 501. for the special train to Lincoln. Remonstrance was made with him respecting this exaction, but he declared he could not depart from his instructions; and the consequence was that the judge, barristers, and officials refused to go on such terms, and they therefore had to wait for the next ordinary traiu, when the whole of the bar (about 40 in number) tra velled in second-class carriages, and determined in future nut to take first-class tickets on the Great Northern Rail way.

From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that on the night of the 27th of July the prosecutor was in the town of Merthyr, with a sum of 27/. in his possession, be longing to his employer, a merchant at Carmarthen. At a late hour of the night, being in liquor, he was enticed into a lonely part of the town by the prisoners, knocked down, and robbed of the money. It was also shown that prose cutor was seen in the company of the prisoners, walking towards the spot where he had been robbed. No money was found in their possession when apprehended, but they were not taken into custody for several days.

The first indictment tried was that of a burglary in the house of Mr. T. Williams, of Brunswick-place, Swansea, and the stealing therefrom a quantity of plate, consisting of silver knives, forks, &c, also a number of articles of wearing apparel, miniatures set in gold, &c. The jury found all the prisoners Guilly. Davies was sentenced to ten years' transportation ; Belly and Thomas to seven years. STRIKE. OF TRE COLLIERS AT AYIERDARIL Dark! Watkins, William Griffiths, and Thomas Griffiths were indicted for a riot at Aberdare, and in a second count with having assaulted Thomas Meredith and his wife Harriet. It appeared that some time since a reduction was made in the wages of colliers at Aberdare and Merthyr. The workmen refused to accede to the masters' terms. A strike was the consequence. The masters imported a number of English colliers from the Forest of Dean, between whom and the Welchem:a a very bad feeling existed. Frequent skirmishes took place between them. On the day named in the indictment a party of Welshmen attacked the house in which Meredith (one of the foresters) lodged, smashed the windows, and beat prosecutor and his wife. They identified the prisoners as being among the party. Mr. Benson, in defence of the prisoners, entered into the history and origin of the " strike," but he was peremptorily stopped by the learned judge, who said that the strike had nothing to do with the present riot. It would be a most monstrous doctrine in a manufacturing country like this that workmen suffering under a real or imaginary griev ance would be justified in taking the law into their own hands and committing such outrages. lie would direct the jury to confine their attention to the simple facts of the ease, excluding from their consideration all circumstances in reference to the justifiableness or otherwise of the strike. The jury found Watkins and W. Griffiths Guilty of a immon assault, and Arysiated the other prisoner. Sent enced to four calendar months' hard labour CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.—YESTERDAY. Barons Ma. Acmes Lou. Attais. Edward Smith, 30, tailor, was indicted for setting fire to an oat rick, the property of Mr. Francis Sherburne, at Bedfont, upon the 31st of January. The prisoner, a strange-looking man, dressed in the pri son attire, either was, or affected to he, unconscious of what was going on, and kept staring wildly round the court. When called on to plead he made no answer. Mr. M.Murdo, the surgeon, was then examined as to the state of the prisoner's mind, and lie gave it as his opinion that the prisoner was only counterfeiting insanity. Mr. Cope, the governor, said that for a day or two after the prisoner's admittance into the gaol he spoke rationally, hut that since then he had not spoken to any one, and to all appearances was trying to raise the supposition that ho was insane. The Case was then proceeded with. Mr. Francis Sherborne, a farmer at Bedfont, Middlesex, said that in a field of his adjoining the road to Staines, he had eight ricks ; that about five on the evening of the 31st Nf January, just as the men were leaving work, one of those ricks, an oat one, was on fire, and which was subsequently quite destroyed, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the remainder were saved. It had evidently been fired from the bottom and purposely. Four witnesses were called two of whom saw the pri soner enter the field just before the rick was seen on fire; and two boys, brothers, who were bird watching, saw him coming out and told him he had fired the rick ; he made no answer but went on down the Staines road. Major Read, of Bedfont, said that he was passing on horseback at the time. Rode after the prisoner and stopped hint until the police came up. The prisoner said he had not done it. The police constable who had charge of the prisoner said that he seemed quite sane in his manner the whole time he had him. As ho was proceeding with him, after he had been before the magistrates prisoner said what a many per sons had come up against him. He then said what do you think 1 shall get, 20, 11, or 7 years. The constable said he did not know, but that it was a very serious offence. He then said the devil had tempted ham to do it, and wanted to know if the devil never tempted him, to which the con stable made no answer. . . . . . The rigour, when asked for his defence, continued the same air of apparent unconsciousness he had exhibited the whole of the trial. The jury found him Guilty. At a later period of the day, the prisoner was brought up for sentence, and Mr. Justice Erie said, from inquiries he had made, he was quite satisfied that the manner he had exhibited during thu trial was feigned, and he should order him to be transported for 133 ears, CHARON or 31•NSLAUGHTER. Richard Canntaine, 2.5, sawyer, was indicted for the manslaughter of Eliza Ann Barrett. Mr. Clark stated the following cue to the jury. The deceased was a young woman who had kept company with the prisoner for a considerable length of time, and on the erecting of the 3rd of February he was at the &thorough Arms, where the deceased also was, both haring something to drink. lie got up to go away, sad she rose to follow him, and he told her he did nut moat her company ; but she persisting in going with him, ho gore her, according to some of the witnesses, a blow, and others a push, in the belly ; immediately after which she went into the taproom and complained of great pan, and some brandy was given to her. She said the pri mmer had kicked her ; and he said he bad not, he had only pus►ed her. lie then saw her home, and during the night she was taken worse, and her father fetched a doctor fur her ; but before he arrived she was dead. The post-mor tees examination of the body showed that death had ari•em from a rupture of some of the internal vessels of the intestines. The of the medical evidence :proved that the deceased was in a very bad state of health ; and it seemed very doubtful whether t►e alleged violence, of which there was no external appearance, had anything to do with her death. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. MURDEROUS ASSAULT, Charles Wood. 21, coachman, was indicted for feloniously assaulting Thomas Carter Wing, with intent to rob him, being armed with an offensive weapon. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark appeared for the prosecution, which had been instituted by the Commissioners of Police; and Mr. Clark son appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor, a grocer, living in the Walworth-road, stated that on the night of the 12th of January, between twelve and one, he was going towards his house, having with him his son, a child about nine years of age. As he was passing down Lorimer-place into West-street he heard two men walking sharply behind him, and almost directly afterwards they came up to hint, and he heard some whis pering, and almost directly was struck a violent blow with some blunt instrument; the blow was repeated, and his boy running away, and raising a cry of police, one of the awn ran away, and he then engaged with the prisoner, defending himself with his umbrella. The prisoner struck him several violent blows in the face, which almost stunned him and deluged his face in blood. The prisoner then started off and ran a part of the way down the street, bat suddenly returned and ran past him again. Witness then became faint from loss of blood, and saw no more of prisoner until he was brought to his house by the police about an hour afterwards. From the evidence of the police it appeared that the cause of prisoner turning back was that he saw an officer coming in that direction, and he had not run out of thestaeet the other way when he was stopped by another officer. A lad who delivered milk in the district proved that on the next morning he found a formidable gotta percha life preserver, which had been thrown into a garden which the prisoner had passed in his flight. The jury at ones+ found him Guilty. Mr, Justice: Erie, in passing sentence, said his offence was one of an atrocious and aggravated nature. The pri- NEW COURT.—YESTERDAY Ibsen TM. Rernamm. THE LoNDON DOCK ROBBEILT. Coates Fennell, 38, agent, who was yesterday found guiltyof stealing some coffee, the property of the London Dock Company, was brought up for sentence. The defence the prisoner had set up was, that the coffee he was charged with stealing was merely sweepings, and that he took them considering them to be perquilites. The facts which led to his conviction were very nearly the same as those which occupied so much time a few weeks ago in the Court of Exchequer. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' im prisonment and hard labour, and in the course of the remarks he mule upon the dishonest character of the trans action. observed that the Dock Company ought to take better care of their property. Robert Nyland, IS, porter, pleaded guilty to stealing 48 handkerchiefs, the property of William Leaf, and others, his masters. The prosecutors begged the court to deal mercifully with the prisoner, as he had been a long time in their service. The Recorder stated that had the prisoner been guilty of falsifying the books to hide his offence he should have passed a most severe sentence ; as it was, he should sentence him to six months' imprisonment. The cases disposed of by his lordship during the day were of the ordinary description, and not of sufficient interest to warrant a report. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—YEsrenn.ty. Barons Sta. SKRIRANT AWIEN asineraat Jesus. PeeNV T Wants. Frerlerkk WSManse, 38, and John Herbert Hours. 3 0 , were indicted for having unlawfully kept in the parish of St. Ann, Liutehouse, an unlicensed place fur music and dancing. The defendants pleaded guilty, and the learned counsel for the prosecution intimated that the parochial authori ties of St. Ann, Limehouse, had instituted the proceedings fur the purpose of putting , an end to a serious nuisance, namely, " a penny theatre, ' and they would be content if the nuisance were stopped. The learned Judge said great praise was due to the parish authorities who brought forward these cases, for un questioned/ these penny theatres were nests of vice, de pravity, an infamy, and worse than brothels. Ile said the defendants must enter into their own recognisance,' in the suns of 50/. to come up fur judgment when called upon, and the court would order all the trappings and paraphernalia of the place to be burnt. Mr. Prendergast informed the court that the entertain ments were continued at a beer shop nest door to the place in respect of which the dekndants were indicted, and the names of the defendants appeared in the programme as per formers. The trappings had been removed to that house, and it was there the defendants were apprehended. The learned judge said the keeper of the beer shop ought certainly to be indicted. An inspector of police said the concerts were continued up to the present time. Mr. Itibton hoped the court would not hold the defend ant: respan , ible ter what had been done whilst they had been in prison. The learned judge said that under all the circumstances he should remand the defendants till the next sewion, and in the mean time the nuisance might be stopped completely and the trappings burnt. Mr. Itibton applied fur the liberation of the defendants oa bail.—The application was refused ' .harks Hunt pleaded guilty to a similar indictment, preferred against him by the parochial authorities of St. George's, Bloomsbury. Mr. Woraley appeared for the prosecution. Ile said the authorities for whom he appeared had felt it to be their duty to prosecute the defendant for keeping a penny theatre , at 167, High Holborn, near Museum-street, the inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood having complained to them that it was not only a common nuisance, but that it . depreciated the value of the adjoining property, that it was injurious to the morals of young persons to whom it was a temptation, and that it was the resort of thieves mid , prostitutes. As the defendant would undertake to leave the place, the authorities would be satisfied if he entered into his own recogniaaueee to come up for judgment when called upon ; but they wished it to be distinctly un derstood that if this house were again used as a penny , theatre au indictment would immediately be preferred , against the landlord. The learned judge said the defendant hail been dealt with very leniently. If the landlord of one of these places were convicted the court would not fail to mark its sense of the conduct of a man who would let his property for such pa defendant was then ordered to enter into his own es r. recognisance of Mi. to appear for judgment when called THE POLICE COURTS. BOW-STREET. Ele:a Ariaroll, an Irishwoman, was charged with obtain ing, by fraud, the sum of 21., from Messrs. Fox and Hen derson, contractors for the Exhibition Building, Hyde-park. Mr. B. Dunn, a clerk to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, /fated thst the defendant, in April last, called at the other in Spring-gardens, and stated that she was the widow of Denis Mark, lately in the employment of the firm, and killed on the Eastern Counties Railway. She said that she wanted the sum of 21. to purchase a pony to carry on the business of a greengrocer. She made use of the name of the principal partner at Birmingham. Witness desired her to call again. Mr. Henderson consented to let her have the money on her own terms, to pay it by instalments. Yesterday another woman made a similar application, which led to the detection of the prisoner. Witness could not say if prisoner was the widow of Mark. Mr. Robert Desire, also a clerk to Fox and Henderson, proved having paid the money to the prisoner, who was to repay it at 105. per month. She signed her name as " Ann Denis Mack." Id 9 K proved former convictions against the prisoner, and apprehended her yesterday evening. She was nut the widow of Mack, but of Martin Driscoll. Defendant denied the charge. Ann Mack, widow of Denis Mack, was married to de- i ceased in a Roman catholic chapel. Had not authorised prisoner to receive money for her. Mr. Henry committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. Roger 31' Grath, an Irish labourer, residing at Ashby place, Ratcliffe, was charged with the following dastardly, and apparently premeditated, outrage on another Irish labourer, named John O'Brien. The prisoner's wife was included in the charge when it was first brought before the court, on the 17th ult., but owing to the absence of the prosecutor, who lay in a very precarious state in the Lou den Hospital, a sufficient Rise was not made out against her, and she was discharged. Yesterday tFe prosecutor was able to attend, bat he gave his evidence with great difficulty, being scarcely audible. He was pale as a spec tre, and had evidently undergone much suffering, his shorn head adding considerably to his woe-begone appearance. It seem, that on the 11th ult., the prosecutor attended this court to answer to a warrant taken out against him by the I prisoner's wife, but was discharged on the payment of costs. This so nettled her that on leaving the court she assailed him with stones, and he had to seek the protection of a constable. On his way home afterwards she threw a brickbat at him. He left his lodgings close upon 12 that evening, and in passing through Brooke-street, he saw the prisoner, his wife, his cousin (also named Roger M'Grath), and a man named Kelly, standing opposite. The prisoner said, "Why do you not speak to me? Is it because my wife indicted you? Come, have a drop of beer and make it up." O'Brien declined, saying that he wanted to get home. The prisoner, who had his hands in his jacket pockets, affected to weep, and drew out his right hand as prosecutor thought to dry his tears, but instead of that he drew out a small hatchet, the head of which was in his pocket and the handle up his sleeve, and hit him with the back of it a heavy blow on the mouth, which caused hint to reel across the street, when he fell on his elbow, whilst the blood gushed from his mouth. lie then made a second blow, and one of the sharp corners of the hatchet caught prosecutor over the right eye near the temple, indicting a wound from which the blood spirted out copioualy, and he was again stretched prostrate. lie attempted to rise once more, when the prisoner's wife rushed across and struck him with a brickbat on the back of the head. Ile staggered and fell, calling out " murder" and " police," on which the female wrapped her cloak about his mouth to @title his cries. Whilst down the prisoner's cousin kicked him in the mouth. He tried to get up once more, when the man Kelly knocked him down, and the prisoner's cousin aga in kicked him in the jaw. Henderson, 95 K, alarmed by the cries, then approached,when the party moved rapidly away. The constable found the prosecutor leaning against die wall in a very excited state, and took him to a surgeon, by whose direction he was conveyed to the London Hospital, sere he remained ever since, his life being fur a consider- able time in imminent danger and where he was insensible and almost speechless fur four days. On the following Monday Potter, 212 K, took the prisoner and his wife into l etutody, when tho latter (as already stated) wax discharged by the magistrate, in consequence of absence of evidence. The prisoner, in his defence, said that O'Brien was con stantly taunting him about his wife, calling him a cuckold, mad her a w—e. On the occasion in question lie was particularly abusive, and struck prisoner on the chest. Being very much excited, he admitted that he did strike the prosecutor, and, determining not to give him a chance, followed it up 3 or 4 times ; but his wife bad not interfered, nor had he (prisoner) used the hatchet. The injuries the prosecutor sustained must have occurred by his heed coming I l ut contact with a kerb stone. Potter produced the hatchet, which he found at the pri miner's house, and which O'Brien identified as that with which he had been assaulted. The constable said he was unable to conclude the evi dence, as the medical gentleman hid left the hospital, after serving his six months as house surgeon. He, however, would be able to have hint in attendance on Saturday next ; to which day the case was remanded. Mr. Ingham, at first, refused to accept bail in a case so very serious; but on the representation of the prisoner's master, a respectable builder in Stepney-causeway, for whom M'Orath has worked for 16 years, he accepted his own security in 100!. aad two sureties in SOl. each, for his appearance an Saturday. We understand a vacancy is about to occur in the Wardenship of Dulwich College. By the statutes of the college the candidates muct he of the name of Alleyn or Allen, not lea than 21 years of age, and unmarried. PUBLIC SALES. MAactt s.—By Mews.

AS yet but little has been done at the wool fair. THE HOMEWARD WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS are not expected before the 10th or 11th inst. This arises from the fact that the steamer which is now due will bring home the answers to the Mexican moil, despatched from England on the 2nd January last, and the answers to the Demerara mail, which was despatched from England on the 17th January last. Now the Severn, which took out the West India and Mexican mail on the 2nd January was three days late in reaching St. Thomas; and the Avon, which took out the West Indian mail on the 17th Janua, was a week after her time in reaching St. Thomas. T herefore the Mexican and Demerara mails cannot reach St. Thomas on their return voyages to enable the steamer which is now due to leave St. Thomas at her proper time, viz., on the 18th of last month. The Avon, which left with the out ward mails on the 17th January was obliged to put into Fayal for coal, and it is feared that she arrived so late at St. Thomas that the intercolonial steamers stationed at that port must have started for Demerara and Jamaica without the mails from England.
