In the days of our boyhood we knew a country parish, distant about fourteen miles from a consi derable agricultural seaport. One part of the road to the port was over three or four miles of heath, and was in fact no road at all, nothing but a set of parallel ruts in the turf, or mud, er sand, such as may possibly be found across a few heaths down to this day. The gigs and light carts, if they got into one parallel of ruts, must keep it, under the penalty of wrenching the wheels from the axles; the heavy laden waggons, at times, could not get across at all ; and when they could, a pair of additional horses, and even then at certain spots, a waggoner putting his shoulder to the wheel were necessary. It followed that every farmer sending his corn to the port wanted, perhaps, two shillings a quarter more than if he sold it near home. In fact, there was a small local port about ten mileS off the village referred to, but in which ten miles of not particularly good road there was no heath to cross, where the merchant could always purchase the corn much cheaper than his brother merchants at the larger port, though the journey to both places was a day's work for the team-men. In the days which we better remember, all this had been changed. A turnpike transformed the road across the heath, almost into a tramroad ; ex cept at busy times, the farmer was willing to send his corn the fourteen miles over a road which did not strain his animals and his waggons; and the local purchasers found their monopoly destroyed. Even the merchant at the ten miles distant small Dort, soon felt the difference, and the result was that the road to his port had also to be much improved to give him any share of his old advan tage. I n f ac t goo d r oads are paying things. They equalise prices, and raise the value of all the pro perty through which they pass. Whether the Pays t 1 incurred If fo raffle in a di str i ct b e l arge or sma ll, the good road once r a well r very long the time, somewhatrne, and the r h e e p a a v i y r s c a o r s e very small if there be be not much traffic; and, if there be much, the r e p a i rs ever after cost less, while en all the traffic ca rr i ed on, the saving in time, in wear and tear, in cheap delivery o f l oca l pro d uce to a distance, and cheap bringing b ack of cattle fg9d and manure, is a very handsome Per centage on the 1 outlay to the ratepayers. If landlord s and tenants THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 1862. were wise they would leave no part of their estates and farms inacessible, or with difficulty accessible, for want of the means of easy communication with :he rest of the country. Since the multiplication of railways the necessity for perfecting the local routes of communication has been increased ten-fold. We are taken so easily to every part of the country, that it is above all things unendurable, when you have sped your way with out trouble one or two hundred miles, to find a few miles off the railway, that you are fairly brought up by the impossibility of getting the local con veyances across a few miles of country in much less time than you have spent in your railway trip. We are likely now to escape the misery of taking more time to get to Paddington, or perhaps to the Great Northern Station, from London Bridge than it took us to ride from Brighton, and we must have a parallel improvement in the mud, and sand, and deep rut roads, if they deserve to be called roads, which lie not far from railways in many parts of the country. When, how ever, the distance to a railway station is considerable, the necessity for improving the local communication is, if anything, greater. People might almost as well emigrate to New Zealand as live twenty or thirty miles from a railway, with bad roads to that grand link with the civilised world. _ _ Now we find it estimated that about one-third o the highways of England are very much in the position of the heath roads of our boyish recollec tions. They lie as an obstruction between the one third of highways in excellent repair and the one third in moderately good repair ; and the cause of this is confessed to be two-fold. First, that each parish is its own road-maker, next, as each parish does not furnish a man skilled in road-making, or caring much about road-making, the parish road is, in too many instances, left to take its chance. It did very well for our grandfathers and great grandfathers, why should it not do for us. The principles of the bill then, if we understand it, are first to preserve representation of the tax payers, that being an essentially English principle. But, secondly, to combine the parishes into dis tricts, which shall chose their way-wardens to have charge of the highways. It will thus become im possible for one lazy lag-behind parish to make itself an obstruction to the intercourse of parishes on either side by allowing its roads to remain in such a state, that passengers, who can do it, go miles out of their way to avoid them. The charge of centralisation is very unjustly brought against such Unions. The truth is that where facilities of intercourse are what they ought to be, the area of easy co-operative action is very much enlarged. Inhabitants become neighbours by means of railways, telegraphs, bridges, good roads and penny postage, who had, many years ago, scarcely any acquaintance with each other. The old parish system will indeed be a long time before it gives way to anything like parochial districts. Its memories are too long for that, both socially and legally. Still the parochial system must be modified in many things by those condi tions which during the last five and twenty years have so completely modified the social relations of time and space. The other principle of the bill, that it shall be the business of some responsible and competent person' to see to theroads of the district, is the only one on which reliance can be placed for having the work well and cheaply done. It is but the universal principle of all good management, whether national or local, or commercial, and we should ex pect the best results from it. The present parish surveyors are practically irresponsi ble. They may care about their duties, or they may not. They generally allow *he farmers to suit their own convenience to an extent which is ruinous to the highways. Under the propose d arrangement probably a fair rate would be paid by all, and such farmers as pleased would receive back of it what they could earn by proper em ployment of their teams at the times advantageous to the roads. It is certain in any case that the landlords and farmers would be among the first to reap the benefit of the improved means of traffic in agricultural districts, and that they will eventually be thankful that the public convenience coerced them to promote their own advantage. We trust the bill is now safe. A majority of 141 to 30 in a house of Landlords ought to put that be yond doubt. Mr. HENLEY'S scruples, illustrated so amusingly, seem to have been satisfied by Sir GEORGE GREY. Indeed, they all related merely to details easy to arrange in committee. If this is to be a session of useful, but non-political measures, we have no doubt that this Highway Bill, When the details have been well considered, will, more than most, deserve the former title. A combination of parishes will be worth a paid surveyor's time, and the extent of the area, and the slight difference to the rate of keeping all the roads equally good, will prevent the ratepayers from grumbling, ac cording to the reputed wont of JOHN BULL. In deed, the probability is that each parish of the combination, when it pays to a joint rate, will be rather disposed to grumble if its own share of the roads be not kept in thoroughly good repair. S hips, Commerce, and Colonies used to be in scribed upon our banners as words peculiarly sym bolical at once of our strength and of our greatness. The Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford, with a very select few who may possibly think with him, would have us erase one of these words, with all convenient despatch, and let the inscription run henceforth simply, Ships and Commerce. Yet, at the very period when this extraordinary proposition is advanced, our colonies never were more flourishing, never were more intimately bound up with the old mother country, in all their interests, by those interwoven ties of patriotism and loyalty, that are in themselves and in their significance all but identical. It is a happy augury that it should be thus with our colonies, in truth, at an era in the develop ment of modern civilisation when the ends of the earth are being fast brought together by the won drous agency of the electric telegraph. Once let the globe be girdled by a continuous chain of sub marine cables and overland telegraph wires, and London and Sydney—Pekin and Washington— Cape Town and Terra del Fuego could be brought into instantaneous communication. The Imperial Government of England might then—as the result we are referring to is one, the advent of which is in all human likelihood simply a mere question of time, we may say rather— will then be able to transmit its instructions and advices as rapidly to Hindostan and New Zealand, to Jamaica and Vancouver's Island, to Gibraltar and St. Helena as to the War Office in Pall Mall, or, as used to be done, until a year or two since, to the India House in Leadenhall-street. The ' network of telegraph wires and submarine cables we know, for certain, is already weaving. We are not here writing, consequently, of mere idle day dreams. We are simply discussing the wider and wider development of what is already growing with visible rapidity. The trail of the lightning messenger from shore to shore is being carried day by day, further and further along the primeval bed I of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and will, at a period now readily calculable, carry the winged words to and fro in momentary flashes between the British Islands and the remotest parts of her Asiatic possessions. Simultaneously with the spread of this marvellous agency there comes to light only the other day the power and the vitality of that identification of the affections, and interests of the Canadian population, with those of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom, which has demonstrated for once and for all to the recognition of all rational lookers on in both hemispheres the absolute unity of the British Empire—scattered though that empire is throughout the remotest limits of the ha bitable globe. As a fitting sequel, therefore, to the extraordinary prelection of Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH, the Professor of Modern History in the Oxford University, came the dinner given on Wednesday evening at the Freemason's Tavern, in celebration of the astonishing growth, particularly of late years, of our vast Australasian colonies. The dinner in question was, in very many re spects, one of the most interesting festivities that has taken place for a long while past in relation to any part of our numerous and widely distributed possessions. It was presided over, as our readers on Thursday evening were made aware, by the ex-President of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria. Among those who ad dressed the assembled participators in this banquet was the Colonial Minister himself, his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE. There also spoke among others, and, as ever with him, exceedingly to the purpose, the noble and gallant Secretary of the Admiralty, Lord CLARENCE PAGET, Nor were the leading orators of the evening restricted, by any means, to a selection from among the members of the present Administration. The Conservative Opposition furnished its contingent to the number of principal guests, and to the num ber of conspicuous speakers. Two of the Tory Secretaries for the Colonies —namely, the Right Hon Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, and my Lard STANLEY, the Liberal son of the Conservative Premier, l spoke, as much con amore, upon the self same theme as the one gladly descanted upon earlier that same evening by Lord C. PAGET and his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE. Recollect the dinner was in its purport no less than in its very designation an Australian dinner. And bearing in mind that it was so, may we not recognise as a signal indication that the banquet so designed and so defined was wonderfully well-timed, all things considered ? when among the various toasts proposed to the assemblage, toasts as appropriate to the occasion as " Prosperity to the Australian Colonies" (given by the Duke of NEWCASTLE), and "The Governors and Legislators of the Australian Colonies " (given by Lord STANLEY)—there was quaffed in solemn silence a memo rial draught to the '6 Memory of BURKE and WILLS " to the memory, that is, of the first of those adventurous explorers cf the fifth continent at our antipodes, the ♦ery first whose heroic enterprise (at the cost of their lives) led to the crossing and re-crossing, from south to north, and from north to south, of the hitherto (at least by Europeans) unpenetrated depths of Australasia. It was upon the morrow of the completion of that first successful expedition to penetrate Australia from seaboard to seaboard that the Banquet of Wednesday was given, a banquet in celebration of the seventy-fifth anni versary of the foundation of the Australian colonies. The seventy-fifth anniversary, observe, of their foundation. In other words, more than two whole generations have passed away since the standard of England was first planted there. Yet wide though the distance of time already traversed since Captain COOK'S discoveries first led to the organisation of the largest of all our sixty colonial possessions —within how comparatively brief an interval is it not that the growth of our institutions there may be said to have really coramenced- in earnest ! As a representative Government, for example, the very oldest of our now flourishing Australian colonies dates back no further than to a distance of a score of years from the present time. The youngest of them dates the dawn of the epoch of its self-government no further back than to a distance of just three years. Yet already their revenue has expanded to an aggregate of six millions and a-half sterling —their population to one million and a quarter— their tonnage in outward-bound trading vessels to one million and a-half—and the annual value of their imports to £25,000,000. With some show of reason, therefore, might the anni versary of the foundation of our cluster of colonies in Australia be celebrated as it was,. celebrated on Wednesday. If anything could tend to cap the climax of absurdity, moreover glaring upon our imagination in an eccentric pro position like that of Mr. GOLDWIN SMITH'S, to the end that the British Colonial Empire, as a whole, should be voluntarily disrupted as soon as pos sible, it would be blazoning forth of statistics like these in regard to Australia, immediately after the magnificent manifestation of loyalty and patriotism witnessed at the turn of the year among our fellow citizens in Canada. The Earl and Countess of Donoughmore have left the Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, for Paris. Lord and Lady De Blaquiere have left town for Paris, and will remain abroad for a few weeks. "Mr. Mark Lemon About London," continues to attract very numerous audiences, and the first and second parts have been considerably increased in interest by being now compressed into one lecture, and liberally interspersed with lighter anecdotal matter. " About London" is now delivered every Monday and Fri lay, and "About West minster" every Wednesday and Saturday, with all the beau tiful and original illustrations. REPRESENTATION OF LEICESTER.—The writ for a new election in the place of Mr. Biggs was received on Wednesday by the mayor, who appointed Monday next for the election. The Conservatives had a meeting on Wednesday evening, and resolved not to bring forward a candidate, expressing themselves content with one member, and resolved hereafter to claim one. Mr. Taylor, will, it is expected, be returned unopposed. GREAT GRIMSBY ELECTION.—RIOTOUS PRO CEEDINGS.--The nomination of candidates for the repre sentation of Great Grimsby took place on Thursday. Mr. Heneage and Mr. Chapman were proposed amidst conside rable confusion. The poll took place yesterday, and we re ceive by electric telegram the following numbers as the close of the poll—Chapman, 456 ; Heneage, 436; majority, 20. The brief telegram speaks of terrible rioting, of Mr. Heneage's hotel being completely gutted, and of the streets being torn up. The Hull police, who were sent for in the morning, were, it is sail, half murdered. Many men received serious injuries, some of which are reported as almost fatal. THE HARTLEY COLLIERY RELIEF FUND.—For the support of the families rendered destitute by the late melancholy disaster at Hartley the most ample provision has now been made. A meeting of the committee entrusted with the management of the funds was held in Newcastle on Thursday, and by the secretary the agreeable announce. meat was made that the subscriptions towards the benevo lent object have reached the handsome sum of nearly £50,000. It was at the same time stated that the number of sufferers entitled to receive relief was about 450, and that the estimated expenditure of the current year would be £l,OOO. Several commuxications, containing suggestions as to the appropriation of the surplus amount collected, were read, and to meet the almost universally expressed wish of the subscribers, it was resolved to make a public intima tion, to the effect that the committee would be prepared to hold any residue which might remain beyond the require ments of the present emergency, for the relief of similar ca ses of calamity i n t h e count i es o f N ort h um berland and Durham, either as a b as i s o f a p ermanen t fund, or in any other mod?, which may hereafter be decided upon. A sum of £3OO was voted t o th e f un d b e i ng ra i s ed for a t es timonial to Mr. Coulson andhis heroic fellow-sinkers, and a motion tci send six of the orphan girls to Haverstock Sehocl , pro vided they could be a d m itt e d f or £5O ea ch, was adopted. — Newcastle Chroniek. LATEST NEWS. PARIS, FEB. 14. Advices from Cochin China, dated December 31, confirm the news of the taking of Bien Hoa, after an energetic resistance. The French loss was not considerable. It is believed that the expedition against Hue will not be undertaken at present. BERLIN, FEB. 14. In to-day's sitting of the Prussian Chambers the Right and Left introduced their proposals in refer ence to the German question. M, von Carlowitz made one proposition for the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy, and another that the question of Electoral Hesse should be dis cussed. Count do Bernstorff, in reply, briefly recapitu lated the declaration he had made before the com mittee on the affairs of Electoral Hesse, and added that Prussia demanded the re. establishment of the Constitution of 1831, besides which, anything that might be in opposition to the Federal Constitution would, after such re-establishment, be put aside with the co-operation of the Constitutional Estates. DRESDEN, FEB. 14. The official Dresden journal of to-day publishes a letter from Vienna asserting that the Austrian Go vernment intends effecting a revision of the Con cordat, and that the Pope had most readily expressed his acquiescence in the proposal. It is added that negotiations on the subject will probably be com menced shortly. PARIS, FEB. 15. The Moniteur of to-day publishes despatches 'rom Admiral Bonard, giving details of the taking of Bien Hoa. The Annamites energetically defended the town. The result of the last operations assures to the allies the possession of an uncontested base for ope rations in Cochin China. MADRID, FEB. 14. Senor don Xavier de Isturitz, Spanish Ambas sador to England, has been nominated President of the Council of State, and will be succeeded in the embassy at London by Senor Gonzales.

SALISBURY CATHEDRAL.—The Wiltshire County Mirror says :—" Mr. G. Gilbert Scott, the able Gothic architect, has visited the cathedral, and made a very careful and minute examination of the four, piers which support the tower and spire, and other parts of the building. The four massive pillars are perfectly sound, and, although they appear to be bending beneath the immense weight which presses upon them, they are as well able to sustain it as ever they were. Since the columns were first plumed no perceptible deviation from the perpendicular has taken vise, AMERICA QUEENSTOWN, THURSDAY. The Inman steamer City of New York arrived in harbour this evening, short of coal. She left New York on the 2d, having been delayed a day by a snow storm. When about 30 miles to the westward of the Skelligs, this morning, an alarm was raised on bond, the after-compartment of the vessel having been found full of water. The passengers were ordered up, and preparations were made for lowering the boats in case of necessity. Fortunately, the cause of the threatened danger was discovered, and proved to be the opening of the valve of the dis charge pipe. As soon as this was known the water was got rid of. Suspicions were entertained on board that there had been foul play practised, the chief engineer declaring that the valve had not been opened for any legitimate purpose during the voyage. The only intelligence respecting the movements of the Burnside expedition comes from Southern sources. The latest advices are : AUGUSTA, TUESDAY, JAN. 28. "Intelligence from Savannah states that six Fede ral vessels entered the river yesterday back of Little Tybee, and passed up to the north end of Wilming ton Island, thereby cutting off communication be tween Fort Pulaski and the city of Savannah. The enemy shelled Wilmington Island, and fired at the Confederate steamer Ida, but no injury was done. ommodore Tatnall's fleet was at Thunderbolt, but arrived safe at Savannah. SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 29. The city is comparatively quiet. No immediate attack is apprehended. The object of the Yankees appears to be to cut off communication with Fort Pulaski. There were six Federal gunboats at Wall's-cut, and seven at the head of Wilmington Island, commanding the channel of the river yester day. Commodore Tatnall's fleet convoyed two steamers and a fleet towards Fort Pulaski with pro visions. The enemy opened fire upon them and a battle ensued, lasting 40 minutes. The provision boats and the steamer Sampson are now returning. The Federals fired upon the latter, and she was slightly damaged. Fort Pulaski is new fully pro- visioned for six months. A letter from an officer at the Fort says that the enemy cannot take it by any attack they may make. The Yankees are en gaged in removing the obstructions in the channel. There are other defences yet to pass. The people of Savannah are firm and confident of their ability to defend the city." In reference to the burning of the British vessel York, the Richmond Enquirer observes : " Mr. Seward will soon have an opportunity to write a few columns of explanatory matter about the propriety of destroying or burning by a Federal vessel an English ship unluckily stranded on the southern coast. Intelligence has been re ceived in official quarters, announcing that a Bri tish vessel, called the York, was recently stranded north of Swansborough, in Onslow county. Some of the Federal vessels which noticed the disaster availed themselves of the opportunity to afford practice to their ganners, by throwing combustible materials on the disabled ship, and finally succeeded in setting fire to her. The crew, fortunately, escaped to the shore." The Knoxville Whig of the 25th indicates that Crittenden is to be reinforced, in Kentucky. No indication of a forward movement from the Potomac has as yet been given. General Fremont is still quietly domiciled in Washington. The charges against him, and the requests he has made to be court-martialed, have not, so far as can be ascertained, been definitely acted upon by the Government, and therefore it is not known what course will be pursued towards that gentleman. The Potomac blockade has been run a second time by the steamer Hecla. - The favourable advices by the Africa on the 31st occasioned more activity in br eadstuffs, the export demand having increased, and prices of shipping brands of flour advanced sc. per barrel, closing buoyantly. Wheat was a shade higher, and corn lc. per bushel dearer. Cotton was dull and heavy. Provisions were less freely purchased ; Pork and beef were firm, bacon and lard depressed. Groceries, oils, metals, naval stores, fish, fruit, candles, hemp, seeds, spices, and whisky were in active. A moderate inquiry prevailed for hay, teas, tallow, and tobacco. The freight engagements were rather more extensive, but at unsettled rates. ccnuiu..n.KUlAL TELLAirENU.E. (From the New York Tribune, Feb. 1.) There was an increased amount of dealings at the Stock Exchange yesterday, and the quotations were generally firm. There was rather more disposition to sell short of some descriptions, but there was a good demand for stocks, and the market mainly stood up well. The foreign bill-market exhibits nearly as many fluctua tions as the stock market. At the opening yesterday lead ing sterling sold at 113 i to 1131. It afterwards became very heavy, and sold at 113 for the best names. Later in the day it recovered to 1131 to 1131. Sales of commercial signatures were made at 1111 to 113. The supply is rather better. Francs are 5.05 to 4.971. Freights are dull, and rates are lower. The 7.30 per cent. Treasury notes aro steady, and small denominations sell at 98 to 98. The belief is that Mr. Chase has ceased paying them out to contractors, and the supply has decreased to a marked degree. Mr. Cisco received from Washington yesterday another instalment of 3,500,000 doll., 7.30 Treasury notes, and 1,000,000 dole. coupon stock, which, together with what was already on hand, will be delivered to the banks when they are ready to receive them. A call will probably bo made on' Saturday, for Monday, for the last instalment of 3,500,000 dols. due from the banks to the Government. TILE WEST INDIA MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato, Captain F. Woolley, arrived at Southampton yes terday at 8 a.m., bringing mails in charge of Lieu tenant Rainer, R.N., naval mail agent. The branch steamer Wye, from Jamaica for St. Thomas's, was obliged to pass Porto Rico without communicating, in consequence of bad weather. _ _ A letter from St. Lucia, dated the 25th January, says : " The weather has been very boisterous for the past eight days; continual heavy rains with high winds. All out door work and field operations sus pended; if it continues much longer it will have a serious effect on the present year's crop, which pro mises to be a good one, superior to that of last year, and it was 636 hhds. more than in 1859. The island is healthy. Governor Hincks has made another descent on the island. The late administrator of the Government when he was suspended went to England to plead his case personally with the Duke of Newcastle. However, he returned last mail un successful ; his dismissal has been confirmed by the same mail. Mr. Justice de Brossard was ordered by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to be dis missed the service, which has been done. Here are one administrator and two special justices dis missed the public service (one of them, Mr. Jen nings, has obtained another place, chief clerk in the secretary's office, at £lBO, in the place of £450 per annum he was receiving as a magistrate). All this is in consequence of want of attention to the Coolies, a large number of them having died, it is alleged, for want of proper attention by the admi nistrator and the two special justices—hence all their dismissals. Three hospitals have now been established in different parts of the island, and medical men appointed to visit the estates where Coolies are located ; all this at a very heavy ex pense to the colony. The Coolies are no cheap bar gain ; two Africans are worth five Coolies. Two vessels from Europe have arrived to load produce, the first this season ; several others are daily ex pected. Bank exchange the same as in my last ; however, now that the crop bas commenced and planters drawing bills, it will soon fall 1 per cent. to 2 per cent." Advices from Demerara are to the 23d ult. Go vernor Hincks held a levee at Government-house on the 21st, which was numerously attended. On the 18th the bark Boadicea, belonging to Messrs. Dunlop and Neill, of Greenock, was destroyed by fire. She was nearly ready for sea, having had nearly 200 hhds. of sugar and 230 puncheons of rum on board when the accident occurred. The son of Captain Andrews, her commander, and one of the seamen were severely burnt, and the former died of his injuries ou the following day. The wreck sank on the lee fiat outside the mouth of the river, whence the tide drifted it, the hull having burnt to the water's edge. The cause of the fire was not known, but is supposed to be spontaneous combustion: The total loss was estimated at from £B,OOO to £9,000, but it was understood that both vessel and cargo were insured. The yellow fever, which had prevailed among the shipping, had dis appeared, and the general health of the colony was good. The apprehension of hostilities with the United States being removed, holders of breadstuffs had reduced prices, and the large stocks which had accumulated were freely offered at rates below those ruling previously to the late excitement. The stock of rice was large, but held at quotations in the absence of arrivals from India. Pork in heavy stock. Cddfish in fair supply, some old and infe rior still forcing at auction. Pickled fish not much inquired for—a large quantity of herrings of in ferior quality depressed the market. Exports were coming forward for shipment, but there had been no sale for sugar since the new year. Tonnage rather scarce, but a few arrivals had taken place during the past three days. The Grenada Legislature did not meet on the 10th of January, to which date it had been ad journed from November, Lieutenant-Governor Kortright having, on the very eve of that day, further prorogued the houses by proclamation to the 28th. A second death had resulted from the explosion of a magazine battering at the firing of minute guns in respect to the late Prince Consort (as reported by last mail), Gunner Calder having expired after two weeks' suffering, A public subscription had been opened for the benefit of the sufferers from the explosion, and the Artillery Corps were about to erect in the parish church a tablet to the memory of their two deceased comrades. Another fearful casualty, resulting in the death of four persons and the crip pling of others, took place at Charlotte Town on the 15th ult., by the falling in of a heavy mass of earth and stones, burying all that were at work be low. The weather continued excessively wet, to the great detriment of manufacturing operations on the sugar estates, and much damage had been sustained. from a storm of wind, which laid prostrate, in dif ferent directions, fine ripe canes, that must be spoiled or be devoured by rats if the manufacturing process was much longer retarded by the wet weather. Cocoa, too, and plantains received considerable in jury from these gales. The roads of the island were in an execrable condition, in many places impassable and hazardous to life. The ship Accrington, from Calcutta, with 413 Coolies, had arrived at George town ; 15 deaths and three births occurred on the passage. The Accrington sailed for London on the 18th ult. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty's steamer Diadem, Capt. Randolph, arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 15th of January f':= R uni Key, bringing some of the guns of the Cono:aeror, which she had succeeded in saving. The Conquft'for had become a total wreck. The Cygnet, Commanderrl: hrnpp, which also went to the assistance of the Conqueror, returned to King ston on 19th. The Diadem sailed for Bermuda on the 18th. The Tartar was at Panama. The Bacchante (flagship) was to sail from Callao for Panama on the 19th of January, and was expected there at the latter end of the month. The Clio was also expected. Her Majesty's ship Cadmus was at Antigua, having arrived there on the 22d Jan., with a vessel called the Laura, which, it was expected, would be confiscated in the Admiralty Court. The circumstances attending the Laura are the following :—She arrived at St. Thomas's on the Ist January, from Havannah, with rum, &c.; the master, Dionisis, consigning her to an American house, reported. tho vessel at the Custom-house and at the British Consu late. Her Majesty's Consul at St. Thomas's, Mr. R. B. Land, having received information of a suspicious nature regarding the Laura previous to her arrival, kept a vigilant eye on all her movements, and on the 7th ult., when the Cadmus arrived from Barbadoes, he immediately commu nicated with Cap. Hillyar. The Laura remained in port until the 20th January, when she sailed with a destination for St. Bartholomew's, having taken in at St. Thomas's, a few days before leaving, some additional cargo, lumber, and. water. Feeling convinced that the vessel was to all intents and purposes fitted for a slave voyage, it was stated that Mr. Lamb and Captain Hillyar agreed in thinking that the vessel should be overhauled, and accordingly the Cadmus left in pursuit the same day, and on boarding the Laura, some 40 miles from St. Thomas's, sufficient proof was found. to warrant her being placed in charge of a prize crew, who proceeded in the vessel, in company with the Cadmus, to English Harbour, Antigua, where there is little doubt she will be condemned as a slaver, and her crew tried on the charge of piracy. The Laura entered and cleaned at St. Thomas's in regular legal form, and great credit was given to Captain Hillyar and Mr. Lamb, the Consul, for the manner in which the intended capture was arranged, with out the par ties concerned in the adventure having the slightest idea of any suspicions attaching to the Laura, THE PACIFIC. We have received by the West India mail steamer Atrato. arrived at Southamo , m_ f11..0 ..f the Panama Star and Herald to the 24th ult. The Pacific Railroad Company's steamship Colum bus had been totally lost at the entrance to Sonso nate Roads. She was running for the port of Aca jutla, on her way up the coast from Panama, on the night of Dec. 8, when she struck on a reef known as Punto Remedios, close to the port, ore which there is at all times a very heavy surf, and commenced breaking up so fast that on the follow ing day nothing was to be seen of her. The Columbus had a cargo of 1,250 packages of merchandise on board for Acajutla and Guatemala, valued at about 150,000 dols., and supposed to be insured, all of which was lost with the steamer. The vessel had recently undergone repairs to the value of 40,000 dols., and was, at the time of the accident, in excel lent order, but unfortunately she was not insured, and will be a heavy loss to the company. Fortu nately the passengers and crew were all saved, and the latter were taken to Panama by the Guatemala. The Panama Railroad Company have been building a new steamer in the United States, intended to take the place of the Columbus, and which will sail. from New York about April next, and the Guate mala will probably be able to carry on all the trade of the coast until that time without much inconve nience to the mercantile community. Affairs in Chili were much improved in a busi ness point of view. Large shipments of flour and wheat were being collected for shipment to Europe. Mr. W. F. WINDIIAM.—About six o'clock on Saturday evening, as Mr, Windham was driving his coach' and-four along Magdalen-street, Norwich, the vehicle came in contact with a donkey cart, belonging to Robert Coggle, chip carter, Sprowston, and knocked off oae of the wheels. No other damage was done. EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE OF A LADY.-- - Mrs. Buxton, the wife of Mr. Frederick Buxton, of Leeds, at present one of the staff of resident engineers of the Tudela and Bilbao Railway, in Spain, departed from Spaio on a visit to her friends at Chapel-Allerton, near Leeds, iu England, in consequence of her physicians advising her to try if her native air would re-establish her health, which had suffered seriously from the climate. It is ascertained that she reached London in safety on the 22d of January last, at 2.35 p.m., and immediately drove to the King's" cross station, where she waited for and left by the 5.0 p•ro. train for Leeds, tince which time nothing has, been heard of her, and from the evidence and facts already collected hi the detectives and police both in London and Leeds, ni" other conclusion can be arrived at but that some foul deed has been perpetrated on her betweenAhe King's-cross fito tion and Leeds. it is supposed the valuable jewellery on. her person, and the considerable luggage she had with her, have led to the commission of a crime which time along can reveal. The age of the missing lady was 22 years' One conjecture is that Mrs. Buxton was probably removal from the train at some intermediate station between Lou don and Leeds, whilst insensible from the effects of chloro form, and that the villains who had placed her in that con dition, assuming the attitude of friends having her in thei r care, robbed her of all she had, and probably dealt mor e foully with the lady herseIf.—DISCOVERY OF TICE LAO' —A telegram was received last evening at Mancheste r, from Mr. Field, of London, to the effect that the lady be been found, and was in the hands of her friends, No eY planation of her long silence is yet afforded, but it is adde d that " all is well." THE "ACCIDENT" TO THE ELECTOR OF lIF,SO CASSEL.—The incident at the Chateau of Cassel, of which only a vague account has been hitherto published, is WO described by the Berlin Gazette de la Bourse :—" Elector surprised his wife reading a number of the .10 0- deradatsek, in which there was an article purporting ‘' comment on the attention shown at a ball by the Prince d 'i• Hanau to the daughters of the President of the Chambe r e Deputies, and which contained some ironical allusions t° the Prince's father. The Elector's anger at this affront gave rise to vigorous reproaches and finished at last by P re : yoking one of those domestic scenes which usually te rnil nate in cries of Help,' or ' Fire,' from the feeblest pa rtl ; At length a valet who was in the a ntechamber thought/ le a some reason or other, that his assistance was wanted , r,in into the room. His sudden appearance was far feel, a greeable to the Elector, who att em pt e d t o show his f ings by a movement which allowed the valet to seize hold his foot. This act of legitimate defence occasioned an 1171 , pleasant fall, and result e d i n a ra th er ru d e co ntact betw ee ' head, a hand, a table, and a mirror."
