THE POST-OFFICE AND NEWSPAPERS. Scarcely a day elapses that we do not receive complaints of newspapers missing, being too late, or arriving several posts be hind time. This is an intolerable nuisance to our subscribers, and is, besides, highly prejudicial to ourselves. Where rests the evil ? It is idle to complain, for polite answers and promises avail nothing. Surely Sir Rowland Bill will have some merciful consideration, and endeavour to redress the grievance. It is a double griev ance, for we are made to pay for not send ing the paper, which is often kept back till next morning, which loses a day to our subscribers, who truly say that old news is no news, causing anger rather than benefit. If the General Post-office be not large enough, then extend it, or build another cdPacious enough for every purpose, be the cost what it may. It will serve for all time. ti e make this suggestion in a spirit of good-will, and hope that good may come of it.

It will be seen, in another column, that the House of Representatives has, as he thinks exceeded their powers, and initiated a proceeding against him substantially unjust also. We have at present only the PRESIDENT'S view of the question, and from his ex parte protest, we should think he has some strong ground on the score of the unfairness of the proceeding. The PRESIDENT and his executive are plainly suspected of having, by money, patronage, a n d other improper means, influenced the passage of laws ; a:qi his officers of having, by combination or otherwise, prevented or defeated, or made the attempt to do so, the execution of existing laws ; and that the PRESIDENT has failed or refused to compel the execution of these laws. The House of representatives ap pointed a committee to investigate on these matters, and the person whom Mr. BUCHANAN considers as his accuser is a member of this committee. Mr. BUCHANAN fully admits the right of the two Houses to inquire into abases alleged to exist in the navy yards, post-office, &c., as necessary to their duties as guardians of the public purse. What he denies is the right of the House of Representatives to try him on these accusatory charges in the manner proposed by them. The House has, he says, the right to impeach. For this the Constitution makes due provision. It assigns the Chief Justice as the President of the Senate for the occasion, and the accuser and the accused meet before the appointed tribunal on equal terms. In the present case the accuser is one of the judges, and has the power to examine witnesses as a judge to prove his own case. Besides, the law and common justice require that in the regular proceeding to which he points, the accuser shall furnish the accused with definite charges, and give him th us a fair opportunity to prepare his defence. The charges are certainly as vague as any can be; and it is only by presuming that Mr. BUCHANAN has a guilty conscience, in re gard to certain facts, that he could be expected to know to what uarticular charges he would have to rebut. The PRESIDENT asserts that he makes his pro test from no motives personal to himself, but from a determination to hand down to his successors the rights of ME office unimpaired. He is a co-ordinate part of the Legislature—the equal of each of the other parts—he is elected by the whole people—he alone represents in his person directly the people of each qnd gll the Stotes—the House of Represen tatives has no jurisdiction or supremacy over him —he is responsible to the whole people, and to them only. Such is Mr. BUCHANAN'S view of the position of the President, and it is probably the correct one. We can, however, conceive of one valid answer which the Lower House will have, even admitting all that Mr. BUCHANAN says. They may reply, that they regard the committee as the grand jury, or the preliminary inquirers in the case. It may be that there is no case at all, against hlm ; in that case the charges, as he terms them, will be discussed in the manner most honour; able to him. It may be otherwise—it will then be for the committee to prepare the definite charges which he fairly demands, and to bring them before the tribunal appointed by the constitution. It is, however, a serious fact that the Supreme Authority in one of the largest and most powerful States of the civilised world stands so far in the position of a de fendant, on the ground of official misconduct, that he has to deliver this solemn protest against the mode in which his conduct is investigated. But for the vast difference between the Republic and the old States of Europe, it would remind one of the times of our own and the French Revolutions. But the American Cabinet is not responsible to the House —the President appoints his officers, retains them, whether the house approves or not, and must there fore bear the consequences of all things done by his servants. We may be pretty sure that in one respect, at least, our QUEEN will not:wish to "Americanise our institutions." Happily for her she can never be accused ; and, more happily for her still, no party would tolerate the thought of doing it. But the other day Lord DERBY proposed the re jection of a bill sent up, nenzine contradicente, by the House of Commons. The bill had been discussed there ; at least Mr. NEWDEGATE had uttered some plaintive sentences on the sad fact that none of his fellow members saw any harm in the bill. Lord DERBY also, like the whole House of Commons, saw no harm in the bill itself, but he saw mischief in its promoters; and, not on the merits of the bill, but avowedly on the demerits of the promoters, he forbade the second reading of the bill. The dan gerous persons referred to were a committee of gentlemen who style their society one "for the liberation of religion from State patronage and control"—and the bill, said to be promoted by them, was one to abolish a declaration made by Dis senters when taking municipal office, that they will do nothing by virtue of their office to injure the Established Church. If such a declaration be of any ♦alue, we beg to suggest that it should be made not by Dissenters only, when accepting municipal office. The report which appeared in The Sun of yesterday of the meeting to elect Churchwardens at St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, reminds us that there are persons far more dangerous to the Church of Eng land than the committee of the Liberation Society, and the Dissenters whom they may be said to represent. The Church is far less in danger from assault than from treason. Mr. LID DELL, Mr. BRYAN KING, and their coadjutors are far more dangerous enemies to her than Dr. FOSTER, Mr. MIALL, and the committee at Sergeant's Inn. If Lord DERBY delight in declarations, and think it important to discourage the enemies of the Church, although they may be backed by the whole House of Commons, by all means let them get ready at once a bill to require a declaration of every clergyman similar to the one he retains for Dis senters. Now that corporations have sold all their livings, Dissenters cannot through them injure the Church; but clergymen within her walls can plainly do her more mischief in a year than Dissenters or a corporation could effect in a century. Indeed, at the close of the vestry meeting Mr. WESTERTON, the well-known re-elected churchwarden, remarked that Parliament must interfere, and " compel them to make some declaration, failing which they should be compelled to leave the Church which they had disgraced." We hear all kinds of stories of Dissenters' fana ticism, and of their unseemly contentions ; they may be true or false, but they are at least private mat ters : we mean that a congregation of Dissenters is in no way responsible to the nation for its mode of conducting its worship, or for any thing whatever but avoiding breaches of the peace. But nothing done amongst Dissenters can pretend to rival in fanaticism, if not something worse, the doings of Mr. LIDDELL and his asso ciated Romanisers, as they appeared in the report yesterday; he being, moreover, an officer in a church which belongs to the nation, and is maintained by the nation for national purposes, just as much as are our army and navy. The ecclesiastical general of the London division of this church costs the nation some £lO,OOO a-year. How many military generals can ever hope for such national pay ? At St. Paul's vestry we have, in brief, the following illustration of National Churchmanship. Mr. LIDDELL, Incumbent, takes the chair (a right denied to him, however, by some first-class lawyers). Apprehending doubtless a sharp catechising for his doings, he makes an oration on peace, meekness, gentleness, and all that, and nominates his church warden. Forthwith Mr. WESTERTON rises to pro posea questi on or two. D ou b tless ant i c i pat i ng the nature of the questions, the Rev. Chairman says he cannot hear them. Mr. WESTERTON is not, however, the man to be put down by a parson. He says his questions are relevant, and proceeds to put n hee Ha ve yo u," h e says, " help e d yourself to the collected at t he sacrament by the offer tory, to pay for altar lights, without the consent and against the protests of the people's churchwarden ?" Here the confusion of the meeting asserting be had done it, and of a few friends of the incumbent not denying it, but trying to put down the "order,"e,r questioner, b ec ame indiscribable. " That is true," chair," " who are you," and " turn him out," ad dressed to an incumbent's friend, resounded from all sides. At a momentary lull in the uproar, th e Chairman, who had been long standing in vain, ex claimed—" The question is irrelevant. 'decline to answer it." Again the cries resounded—" Oh, oh' —" Quite right"—" A confession of guilt." At another lull Mr. WESTERTON interferes,— " That answer is sufficient. My second question is, from what fund was the old debt paid which you contracted for altar candles, which debt, when I was in office, I would not allow to be taken from the altar money ?" Again the self-appointed Chair, man refused to answer, and also refused to hear another question. Hereupon commenced a battle between the Chairman and the meeting, equalling in its way all that is to be looked for in the fight between the BENICIA BOY and SAYERS. If our readers overlooked yesterday this " mill extraordinary" between a clergyman and his parishioners they had better turn to it again. It is the fitting vestry parallel to St. George's-in-the- East. Eventually Mr. HALL, the late churchwar den, having got possession of the ear of the meet ing, fairly frightened the reverend gentleman out of the chair, and " saluted by hootings, groan hissings, ings, anmdeewianvgsaid, t t ingof hats, hb and his the-East!. Th e victorious HALLo S wa t' s retired "— as th e thenGeorge's-in the-East e org evoted - into the chair. It was indeed time for his Reverence to be off. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY 'EVENING.. APRIL' 12, 1860 , Between Mr. HALL and Mr. WESTERTON he would have had but a sorry time of it. The latter had retired from office weary of fight ; Mr. HALL, who succeeded him, had tried concilia tion for a year in vain. There was no satisfying the demands of the Jesuits in disguise, and it re quired all his nerve to avoid being handed over, body and soul, to Rome. Two of Mr. LIDDELL'S poor young curates had been helped over into Popery ; and then Mr. HALL produced a list of between 200 and 300 perverts, including members of Parliament, great men and great women, and nearly 200 clergymen, which the Puseyite teachings had led from Protestantism to Popery. It was the terror of this list which frightened Mr. LIDDELL out of the chair. A discreet flight. Mr. WESTERTON had intended to show by Mr. LIDDELL'S answers that the latter had paid for his altar candles with the sacrament money, against the protests of the parish ; that he and his curates had received young women to con fession in the vestry and in private rooms else where, and then enjoined penance, and granted special absolution. Moreover, that he appro priated the offertory money to the establishment of the mission in St. George's-in•the-East by Mr. BRYAN KING and Mr. LOWDER! Perhaps as bad a part of the affair as any is that the Bishop of London, whom the country pays so splendidly to keep his clergy right, evaded the request of the Churchwardens, and declined to interfere ! Can it be that Dr. TAIT is indiffe rent to the spread of such Popish practices—and the consequent perversion of weak-minded Pro testants to Popery—as were described at the meet ing We need not say more just now. Between Messrs. KING and LIDDELL we are not likely soon to want a text, if we wish for one, on the folly or wickedness, or both, of Anglican Popery. The letter from the special correspondent of the New F ork Times, which appears in another part of our paper, is, though rather long, well Worth reading. it contains authentic information, from a new, and as the writer is an American, an im partial source, on the actual state of the African slave trade, and the delinquencies of the American Government in regard to it. And a mortifying narrative it is. Here is a person who left America imagining that the extent and horrors of the slave trade, and the abuse for its purposes of the American flag, were all greatly exaggerated for party purposes at home. He finds, after a sojourn on the Coast of Africa, that it is even worse than had been repre sented. The trade is frightfully rampant, and almost every slaver hoists the American flag. Writing from St. Paul de Loando, he says that the seas on this coast swarm with vessels, whose only and known object is to get a cargo of negroes—" live stock." Forty-five hundred slaves at least have been kidnapped in the year; three out of four vessels get off; and " almost invariably this work is carried on under the American flag, and every merchantman with these colours flying is a justly suspected craft." The trade is carried on with even worse than its old horrors, the exposure to pursuit and capture rendering it necessary to put negroes and provi sions on board with such haste that the stowage and supplies, of water especially, are more defec tive than they would be, if all were done at leisure. We need not repeat the tale of horrors, our readers can turn, to it. The state of the poor creatures found in the Tavernia, a New York brig, captured by her MAJESTY'S ship Viper, is, the writer tells us, not an extreme case. The description of the different classes of men engaged in this hellish traffic, from the wealthy gentleman who does not lose caste thereby in New York, to the veriest cutthroats on earth, a medley of the rascals of all nations who do the actual work is remarkable, and shows special knowledge; the slavetraders, our writer divides into three classes, " the genteel, the semi-genteel, and the full blown cutthroats!' As the extent of coast in question is not alto gether unmanagable, it seems wonderful how so many escape. The British receive the praise of doing all they can. " They take six slavers to our one," says this American, and tells his countrymen, that " there is no rubbing this out, and that all the pseudo-patriotic talk they may indulge in cannot get rid of it." He com mends our vessels as well as our zeal, and observes that we have no discordant southern element in our navy assisting to perpetuate the traffic, and wink ing at the escape of slaves. Pretended trading under the American flag is the chief means made use of by the slavers. "The palm oil dodge" is a favou rite one; and though a manifest fraud, is yet suc cessful. Three vessels would suffice for that trade, yet those professedly engaged in it are very nume rous. Our American seems to have no doubt that were America as earnest as we are, the traffic would be stopped very quickly. Political chicanery and the fears of the moneyed interest in the United States are the real protectors of the slave trade. He would substitute severe imprisonment for capital punish ment, in the case of those convicted, because the milder punishment would be inflicted, while no one has yet been executed. He would concede the right of search within 200 miles of the African coast, as " the exemption from search is the actual safe guard of the slaver," and he would send to the West Coast of Africa, a squadron suitable for the purpose, and worthy of his country. A better ad viser than the writer of this letter President BUCHANAN could not have. The letter itself can hardly escape his attention. In another part of our impression we publish a letter addressed to us by Mr. RUEGG, one of the Board of Guardians, in answer to our remarks on the case of ELIZABETH HODDER, This poor girl, it will be remembered, was removed from the Union at Sherborne while dangerously ill of an infectious fever, and was taken to a cottage Rye miles off, situated in a most unhealthy locality. We do not perceive that the reply of Mr. RUEGG at all excul pates the Board of Guardians. In a large Union like that of Sherborne there should be proper ac commodation for patients suffering from contagious diseases. If there is not the Board of Guardians • are greatly to blame for not having the omission promptly remedied. Mr. RUEGG asks us, " What further can you say when you learn that her fitness to be removed was certified by the medical officer in charge of the house, and that she was taken obvious s o ft truth, ,ttwhoa that sisters?" away Ilre say" e a x v p e r r e y s s o b w v i ing the Board of Guardians he is making a serious charge against the medical officer, who, should this statement be correct, is manifestly unfit for his re sponsible office. With regard to the wishes of the poor girl's relatives, the medical officer of the parish was bound to inquire into their capabilities for re ceiving her, even had she been fit to be moved, and it is manifest, such inquiry were made, that there must have been a desire to get rid of an awkward and dangerous case, as her removal to such a place as that described by Dr. WILLIAMS, "surrounded by a stagnant ditch," could never have been per mitted. The best answer to the virtuous indignation of the Board is afforded by the unfortunate fact that the poor girl died a few days after her re moval, and the test means of ascertaining on whom the blame should rest would be a thorough investigation into the case. Blame, and inhu manity too, despite our correspondent's anger at the term, must rest heavily somewhere, and it is not too much to expect that the attention of the proper authorities will be turned to this painful case. May we ask why is an Union capable of contain ing over two hundred people there is not a ward set apart for dangerous or infectious diseases ? As to our worthy correspondent's view of the Poor-law and its administration in former days, the less said the better. Bad as it may have been in those " good old times" we cannot help thinking that the present example- is not one to be copied by any set of Guardians professing humanity to their fellow men, however poor or miserable. LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received a Mr. Reuter's office : PARIS, APRIL 12. An official decree in the Moniteur of to-day noti fies that the Superior Council of Commerce, Agri culture, and Industry will proceed to an enquiry for the purpose of investigating the average prices of the objects admitted into France by the Treaty of Commerce with England, and in order to fix an ad valorem duty upon them. MARSEILLES, APRIL 11. The packet arriving here brings news from Naples to the 7th inst. The offipial Giornale di Napoli of the 6th instant confirms the repression of the insurrection at Palermo on the 4th. Letters received add that the rebels attacked the Royal troops at 5 o'clock in the morning, then re formed and shut themselves up in the convert, which they barricaded. A battalion of the 6th regiment of the line made a sudden assault upon the insurgents, but were driven back with considerable loss. The Royal Artillery then opened a breach and the convent was taken by assault. The insurgents and their arms were captured. Several bands of rebels having risen in the environs in order to create a diversion were beaten a nd pursued in all directions. The Ogicial Journal does not speak of an insur rection in Messina, but announces that General Salzano has placed Palermo in a state of siege, and also adds a telegraphic despatch received on the afternoon of the 6th inst., which affirms that al] the other provinces of Sicily have been tranquil, and that the inhabitants of Palermo had not taken part in the combat of the 4th. Letters state that on the evening of the 6th an immense crowd, esti mated to number 80,000, blocked up the Rue Tolede at Naples, and raised numerous shouts of " Viva la Constituzione," before the residence of the Papal Nuncio. The street was quickly cleared by the patrols. VIENNA, THURSDAY. The answer of Austria to the circular note of M. Thouvenel, of the 13th March, on the annexation of Savoy and the district of Nice to France, has been sent to Paris. This answer is very similar to the despatch of Russia on the same subject. The Austrian Cabinet, like that of Russia, does not raise any objection to the fact of annexation, as long as this annexation is represented as being the result of a cession freely consented to by Pied mont, and not as the effect of an appeal to univer sal suffrage. As regards the neutrality of Switzer land and the neutralised districts of Chablais and Faucigny, Count Reehberg expresses a desire that the French Government, in accordance with the promise given by M. Thouvenel in his de spatches, should maintain the guarantees stipulated by the treaties. TURIN, APRIL 10. Signor Lonza has been elected President of the Chamber of Deputies by 129 against 90 Totes on the second ballot. APRIL 11. According to news from Naples to the 10th, the insurgents, numbering about 10,030 well-armed men, are concentrated in the Sicilian Islands, and have interrupted the canals communicating with Palermo. The troops quartered in that city are attacked every night. The Neapolitan fleet is cruising along the cos St. The Opinion° publishes the following telegram, dated Naples, April 10 : " The insurrection in Sicily appears to be spread ing. The despatch of troops continues. Great agitation prevails at Naples." NAPLES, APRIL 9. The following is official : " Order reigns at Palermo and in Sicily. " The inhabitants are tranquil. The landowners offer to cooperate with the Government. "An excellent feeling prevails among the troops." MADRID, WEDNESDAY EVENING. General Ortega will arrive to-morrow at Tortosa, where his trial will take place. Great efforts are being made to capture Count ,Mentemolin and his brothers ; a successful resull is anticipated. Perfect tranquillity prevails. The boundaries of Ceuta have been amicably arranged. The value of the territory ceded to Spain is estimated at 300 millions of reals. The news that Count Montemolin and his brother had been captured has not been confirmed. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 10. The Duke de Brabant arrived here yesterday, and was received by the Sultan at the Tophane Palace. To-day the Duke visited the British Am bassador, Sir Henry Bulwer. Minister of Foreign Affairs, to M. de Kamptz, Prussian Envoy at Berne : Berlin, 30th March. " Sir,—l have had the honour to receive the cir cular note of the 19th, which the President of the Helvetic Confederation sent to you, as well as to the other Powers represented at the Congress of Vienna, to claim their intervention in favour of the rights which Switzerland may bring forward on the subject of the neutralisation of certain districts of Savoy—rights which the Federal Government con• sider to be menaced by the cession of Savoy to France. " It is unnecessary for me to say that the step taken by the Federal Government, and the situa tion which led to it, excite in the highest degree the serious attention of the Prince Regent's Cabinet. " Starting on the principle, that the question is one which equally interests all those who signed the act of the Congress of Vienna, it will endeavour to effect between the Powers and Switzerland an understanding on the means best suited to remove anything which may attack the independence and neutrality of the Helvetic Confederation. " I request you, Sir, to read this despatch to the President of the Helvetic Confederation, and if he wishes leave him a copy of it. " SCHLEINITZ." The next is from Mr. Harris, British Envoy to the Swiss Federal Council:— " I have the honour of announcing to you that, in reply to the despatch which I addressed to her Majesty's Secretary of State, in which I spoke of the critical situation of the question of the neu tralised territory of Savoy, his Excellency ex pressed himself in these terms—"lle question which relates to the incorporation of Savoy to France, and which so nearly affects the interests of Switzer land, will be taken into due consideration by the great Powers of Europe.' " HARRIS." The following is a note of the Federal Council ad dressed to Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Sardinia, and Sweden:— " Berne, sth April. " The future position of Savoy, as regards the Confederation, having become the object of diplo matic negotiations, the Swiss Federal Council has maintained with the strictest consistency the prin ciple that, on account of the rights guaranteed by treaties, that question cannot be settled without the positive concurrence of Switzerland. This manner of viewing the question is justified at length in the note which the Federal Council had the honour of addressing on the 19th March to the high Powers who guaranteed the treaties of Vienna. In the notes exchanged at that time with France and Sardinia, the Federal Council showed the ab solute necessity of a meeting of the high Powers, in order to regulate, with the participation of Switzerland, the pending question, and to give it a solution in harmony with European interests and with those of the Swiss Confederation. The Fe deral Council has the greater reason to hope for a favourable reception of its proposition from the fact that Art. 2 of the treaty of union concluded at Turin on the 24th March, 18G0, expressly foresees an arrangement with the Powers which signed the treaty of Vienna or with the Swiss Confederation. This spontaneous stipulation is presented to Swit zerland as a sure guarantee that the pending ques tion of which all the importance is appreciated will receive a solution in accordance with the interests of the Confederation. " The path which the Federal Council has to follow to attain this object is traced out for it by the final stipulation of Art. 4 of the Protocol adopted the 15th November, 1818, by the Powers which took part in the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. The said stipulation is in these terms :—' They (the Conferences of the Powers) shall only take place after a formal invitation from such of the States as the said affairs concern, and under the express re serve of their rights to participate therein either directly or by their plenipotentiaries. " The Swiss Federal Council now sees itself called on to to address the high Powers the formal demand that they will be pleased to invite the Conference referred :to in the said article, in order to bring the existing conflict, which has already acquired European importance to a solution in conformity with the principles of international law and social order. It will leave to the pru dence of the high Powers the task of fixing the place and the epoch of this Conference. It will, however, express the wish that this meeting may take place as promptly as possible, inasmuch as the increasing disquietude of Switzerland shows that an early solution of the question is of urgent importance ; and to that is attached the express condition that Switzerland shall be called on to take part in the deliberations. " Lastly, the Federal Council must strongly insist that the statu quo shall be maintained intact in the neutralised provinces of Savoy, and that no taking of possession, either military or civil, shall be proceeded to until the decision of the Conference shall be given. The Federal Assembly of the Confederation, in its sitting of the 4th, attached the highest importance to these conditions. It is indisputable that the maintenance of the atatu quo is not solely a Swiss interest, but is of general interest for Europe ; and the Federal Council may consequently expect that the high Powers will know how to appreciate its demand in all its bearing, and will energetically support it." " The Swiss Federal Council has the honour to recommend its proposition to the friendly conside ration of the high Powers, and in the expectation of shortly receiving a favourable reply, it seizes, &c." The last document is from Count to Cavour to NI Tourte, Envoy of the Swiss Confederation al Turin : ' Turin, 6th April. " Sir,—l ha're the honour to acknowledge the reception of the two notes which you were kind enough to address to me on the Ist and sth of this month. " According to the desire you have expressed, I hasten to declare to you that, in conformity with the treaty of the 24th March, France will not take possession of the provinces of Savoy before the populations shall have pronounced, and before the Parliament shall have ratified the treaty.

We have received the following documents, the first being from Baron de Schleinitz, Prussian DEMERARA. The ship Whirlwind has arrived from China NAL the first shipment of immigrants despatched by Mr. Austin, consisting of 302 men, 5G women, and 13 boys and girls, and one infant. The whole of them arrived in perfect health ; not a single death oc curred on the voyage. The immigrants, who seemed contented and happy, have been located on several estates. The managers of all of them have been registered by the Immigration Agent General, in conformity with the new Heathen Marriage Or dinance, recently passed by the Court of Policy. The women are not to work, all being required of them is that they reside on the same estate as their husbands. These immigrants will become perma nent settlers in the colony. The ship Dora is daily expected, with another batch of Chinese emigrants, among whom are 100 women and 100 children. On the 15th inst., the pilot tender, while on her way out to the lightship, was wrecked. She was laden Aith provisions and other stores for the barqu e Honduras and New York packet, at anchor outside the bar. The Court of Policy has not met since the last mail.

In the market there is no alte ration in prices. Pork continues scarce, but no advance in price. Codfish is plentiful ; stock of rice moderate. Weather continues very favourable for planters, and sugar-making is rapidly progress. ing. Freights have advanced, and prospects are better for seeking ships. From Barbadoes the news is unimportant. The weather continues fine, and the crop proceeding vigorously throughout the country. The yield is considered fair, and the quality of the sugar very good. Several cargoes had sailed since the last packet's departure, and the quantities exported to date amounted to—Sugar, 5,522 hhds, 426 tierces, 801 brls ; molasses, 1,053 puns, 2 brls ; ram, 65 puns 52 hhds.

The special ses sion of the Legislature summoned for the purpose of making provision for the transfer of the Post-office department was to meet on the 27th; beyond this there was no news of general interest looked for.

The railroads are progressing favourably, and the Valparaiso and Santiago road will soon be opened. Advices from Cophipe are important. Fresh fields in the Chanarcillo silver mines are announced, and the condition of the works prosperous. The copper mines of Ojancos, Cerro. Blanco, and Deseirto are very rich, and there is a great stock of ores in Chafiral and other points. The gold mines in Inca is acquiring importance, and a great discovery is spoken of on the frontiers of Bolivia. An important discovery is also an nounced in the Andes on the mountain called Culunquen, in the province of Aconcagua, where it is said more than 80 petitions had been presented in a few days. Peace is completely re-established amongst the Indians of the lower frontier of Aranco—in the upper frontier the Indians present a hostile attitude. A band of 2,000 made an attack on Fort Negrete but were driven bank with great loss by the garri son, consisting of 100 men and 1 piece of artillery. The termination of the amendment of the Custom house laws, for which Congress had authorised the Executive last year, is announced. The Peruvian ship J. F.

Arica and Tacna has suffered severely from the overflow of all the rivulets leading down from the Cordillera. General Castilla was daily expected at Arica with part of his army to commence the war with Bolivia. Nothing of interest had occurred at Lima. Cas tilla had again taken the reins of Government. Franco is reported to be in great trouble in Ecuadon ; the army he sent into the interior had to retire, after having suffered severe losses ; several hundred muskets, ammunition, and two cannons fell into the hands of the enemy. Martial law is declared in Guayaquil. Any per son suspected of having connexion with the Provi sional Government is to be tried by court martial, and, if found guilty, shot immediately afterwards.

Cook, with the above mails, passed Hurst Castle at 12.20 p.m. TIIE KING OF PRUSSIA'S HEALTH.—The last accounts from Potsdam are very melancholy (says a Berlin letter of the 7th). The journals speak of the daily prome. nades taken by the king, but unfortunately his Majesty can take no exercise worth mentioning, as, having almost lost his intelligence, he is lifted into a carriage, and driven slowly about the grounds, and that is all. Lori and Lady Southampton arrived at th Pavilion Hotel, Folkestone, on Tuesday. His Excellency the Ambassador of France and the Countess de Persigny left Albert-gate House yesterday for Paris. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond are recei ing a succession of visitor* at Goodwood LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) ADVERTISING AND SELLING-MADDICK V. OLDFIELD. This was a claim for advertisements inserted in the &arch°lrlsr, a publication now non-existent. Defendant said that he had to complain of plaintiff, who had inserted two advertisements in the same periodical, one counteracting the other. A file of the Shareholder was handed up, and by de fendant's advertisement it appeared that a gentleman having a large and carefully assorted c e ll ar o f fi ne w i ne w ould part with the same a bargain. Plaintiff—That is the way he catches the people. The other advertisement referred to South African wine , which defendant said he did not sell. He certainly ad ver:, tised South African, but sold " real port and sherry% (Roars of laughter.) Defendant wished to explain how he came to alter his advertisement. Ho had occasion to move his business, and he thought he would act honestly. He had made a good bit out of the " bargain" advertisement, and thought when he got to his new premises he would put on new manners, but the honest advertisement would not pay. His Honour—l see you advertise South African. Defendant—Ah ! but people don't always sell what they advertise. [At this candid confession there was a perfect burst of laughter, in which defendant joined.] Then Mr. Alfred Maddick had three bottles of wine. Some mistake being discovered in the dates, plainti ff elected to be nonsuited, each party accusing tho other of sharp practice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —( This Day.) BOW-STREET. WATCH ROBBERY.—John Hill was placed at the bar charged with stealing a silver watch. George Croft, a youth, aged 14, residing at 16, Law' rence Pountney-lane, City, said this morning, about 11 o'clock, I was near the Horse Guards witnessing the evolu tions of the soldiers, and as one of the regiments was leaving there was a rush of people, and I then felt a tug at my watch-guard, and I saw a man in a brown coat going from me very rapidly. I found I had lost my watch, and I followed the prisoner, never once losing sight of him. A gentleman captured him, and when I come up he (prisoner) handed me my watch saying, " Here you are." He said he had picked it up. Alfred Nisbet said—l was going from the Treasury, through the Park, just as the guards were being changed. After I had proceeded some distance I heard the trumpets, and a carriage proceeding toward Whitehall induced me to look round. I then saw the prisoner coming towards may at the same time hearing a cry of " stop thief." The pri' soner tried to make his way through Spring••gardeus, but I stopped him until the youth came up, when he said tho man had stolen his watch. The prisoner immediately took the watch out of his pocket, and begged to be let go. I detained him until a policeman arrived, when he was given into custody. I then informed the constable that I thought I saw the prisoner throw something over the gar den wall, upon which the prisoner struck me a violent blow on the cheek. Mr. Hall—But the boy had got his watch. Police-constable A 56—Yes, your worship, but we thought he had thrown something else away. The gardens were searched, but nothing was found. Police-constable A 526—1 took the prisoner into custody on a charge of stealing a silver watch. The prisoner took a watch from his pocket, which was immediately identified by the youth Croft as his property. The prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, said—l live at the Coal-yard, Drury-lane. I have been a drummer in the Elthom Militia. I picked the watch up. I heard a cry of " Stop thief," and I ran, as I thought, after the thief. I did not steal the watch, The prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A MERCHANT'S WATCH..—DARING ROB' BERM.—John Jones, described as a carpenter, of No. 19, New Compton-street, but who is well known to the police, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a watch of the value of £B, the property of Mr. John J. Sutherland, • merchant, residing in Golden-square, St. James's. Mr. Sutherland, of 15 A, Golden-square, said that about half-past II the previous night he was in the Haymarket talking to some friends, when th e pr i soner stretc h e d out 1111 hand and seized his watch chain, and tore his watch fro" the chain at the swivel, the watch dropping at his feet. The prisoner then started off, and the watch was picked up by a gentleman, and he (prosecutor) pursued the prisoner, never losing sight of him for a moment, and at length caught him, and on charging him with stealing his watch, he denied all knowledge of the robbery. Sergeant Yates, in answer to a question from Mr. Bing' ham, said the prisoner had only just come out of prison, where he had been for 18 months for robbery ; and Gordon, 336 A, said there was not a more notorious thief in Eng land than the prisoner, and that he spent most of his time in prison. Prisoner said ho had just come from the play and was looked up, Mr. Bingham—But about the watch Prisoner said that he knew nothing about that. Mr. Bingham said he should remand the prisoner for s wadi- for proof of former convictions ; but at the request ?f the prosecutor, who said he was going to Scotland, ulti mately, on priso ner pl ea di ng gu il ty, committed him for al% months with hard labour. THAMES. TIIR POPLAR DISTRICT BOARD OF WORKS AND TITS GREAT CENTRAL GAS COMPANY,--Robert Harris, the manager of the Great Central Gas Works, on the east side of Bow Common-lane, Bromley, St. Leonard, appeared be' fore Mr. Selfe to answer a summons taken out by Mr. Ed' ward Fulcher, inspector of nuisances and sanitary inspector to the Board of Works for the Poplar district, under the Metropolitan Local Management Act, for permitting the existence of a nuisance. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, appeared for the prosecu• tion. The nuisances on Bow Common, including the Gal Works, have been frequently prosecuted by the Board of Works, and considerable abatement of the compound of villainous smells arising therefrom have been the result. There is, however, still much to complain of, and mall chemical manure and alum works are still carried on there, and are highly detrimental to the health of the inhabitants. The greatest nuisance in this now thickly-peopled locality is undoubtedly the gas works, and there have been several prosecutions of the company to which they belong, and orders mad e b y t h e magistrates of this Court. The law' sance, as is alleged by Mr. Fulcher, and by Messrs. Ansett and Elliton, the medical officers of the district, has been revived, and is now far worse than ever. The summons charged that upon the gas-works "there is a large accumulation of refuse, lime-water, called Blue Billy, giving off offensive effluvia, so as to be a nuisance and injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the neigh' bourhood, and that the coke upon the premises is sleeked with foul water, also giving off offensive effluvia, so as to be a like nuisance, and injurious to the health of the inhabi' tants of the neighbourhood." Mr. Harris said he only received the summons oa Tues• day night, and had not had time to meet the complaint He requested a postponement of 'the ease, and urged that any material interference with the operations of the Gas Company would be attended with serious consequences. Mr. Young, on the part of the Board of 'Works, said it would be unfair to resist the application for adjournment. Mr. Ansell, as was understood, wished the magistrate to visit the Gas Works before adjudicating upon the case. Mr. Selfe—Why should I have all the nuisances oa Bow Common thrust upon me ? Mr. Young—You made an order on a former manager of the Great Central Gas Works to abatethe nuisance now complained of some time ago. Mr. Selfo—l have visited the nuisances on Bow Cow" mon once. You don't wish me to go again, I hope. One visit to Bow Common is quite enough in a man's lifetinle. After some discussion, the hearing of the case was post' poned until Thursday next. Count Jauceurt has left town for Paris. The Right Hon. Sir W. G. and Lady Hayter are expected in town in a few days from Brighton.
