And In addition to their other accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling. As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are requested to pay an early visit.

THE CORN BILL. _ We can never sufficiently appreciate the advantages of having a great soldier -in the Cabinet , and a Field Marshal in the House of-Lords. It immensely facili tates the mechanical process of change. Nothing is S? desultory—so - ape to - clog . its own movemen ts—S 3 blind to its destiny —so . apt to waste its resourees —as a legis lative crowd. The moment they are frig htened they get into a heap, and begin to tread on one another's toes. They are too great for the drill. For many.more important reasons, therefore, than that particularised by the Roman Emperor, it is desirable that a Senate should have one head. The Duke of Wellington supplies in the Lords that important disideratum. After a due amount of reconnoitering, feeling, demonstrating, skir mishing, and other preliminaries, he matures his plan in politic silence: Just on the eve of struggle he informs his Generals what they must do. Aides-de-camp fly with his orders. Chiefs listen to his instructions. No matter how little the soldier, or the officer, or even the commander of a division, knows of the general plan. It is theirs to hear and obey: If the Peers threaten to be rather too high and mighty, or if they show indications of jibbing, there is a reserve "which will either supply their places or push them on. The Brobdignag Duke pulls out of his pocket fifty mannikin Peers, who count for as much as the best for this kind of warfare. The affair goes off with all the grace and coMposure of a parade. The word of command is all that they wait for. Attention ! Right about ! And they all are converted by intuition, and turned by instinct. The people are at the same time edified by a revolution and entertained with a spectacle. It is really quite a lesson—whether in the art military or the art politic, is not at first discernible—to hear the Duke addressing his comrades. " I beg leave," he says, " to point out to your Lordships, that it is your duty to consider Wellthe consequences of any vote that you may give upon this subject—to consider well the situation in which you place this House." That is e tie question for the Lords. There is adelightsfulistiseientifie simplicity in this way of putting the case. We do not fled a word here, or indeed in all the rest of the speech, in the smallest degree allusive to the merits of the ques tion, or even to its subject. The Bill might be one for swallowing Polk's insolence and giving up Ore gon, or the abolition of all duty on tobacco, or a great central railway terminus in Waterloo-place, or the confiscation of half the property of the Peers, for anything that appears in the speech. The corn-laws are as rigorously excluded from it as the Ten Command ments are from a schoolboy's theme. He gives she pure mathematics - of the question. • " Consider well the consequences." " Consider the situation in which you place this House." His Grace adds an expression which speaks the very soul of military discipline. No member is to consult his own opinion, his own safety, or his own reputation, but to identify himself with the House. A soldier is a unit in the army, a Peer is a unit in th e " Nay," h e sa y s , "it i s fin th Duke's e du ty b o r f a e n a c c h h o to f the -la ehm Legislat ure. before he determines to give his vote, and to consider what would be, under all circumstances, the consequence if the House were to follow the course he may be about to do on this occasion." We beg most entirely to concur in this advice, and entertain no doubt that it expresses the true theory of a legislative vote, so far as regards the duty of a member to put himself in the situation of the House. There are Peers, we cannot help thinking, who have consulted their party or their pique by giving an adverse vote, though nothing would perplex them so much as to find the Lords placed in collision with the Commons and the people of England. Yet, as the Duke puts it, it does rather merge the man in the army. His Grace then reminds his hearers that he has once before advised them to beat a retreat, and he implies that they retreated with success. At any rate they saved their lives and their coronets. Like the judicious warrior in " Hudibras," they have lived to fight another day, and, as in the former instance, to run away also. The Duke encourages them to hope that a repetition of this movement will be accompanied with equal ad vantage. This, in fact, is pretty nearly all that he has to say. So he says it again :—" I beg of your Lordships to look a little to the measure upon which you are about to vote." This seems to promise a word or two on " the merits." No such thing. The nature of the inspection is explained by the rest of the sentence :—" and the consequences likely to follow from a rejection of that measure." The Lords are to lock at the measure a little, and pass it, just as you make a shying horse look at a wheelbarrow a little and pass it. The inspection is not to be tediously long, or superfluously inquisitive. But, on the principle, we suppose, that abundans can tela non nocet, the Duke repeats his warning for the fifth or sixth time, without concerning himself much to diversify the langnage —" I ask your Lordships to look at the manner in which this measure has come before you, and consider what is likely to follow from your re jecting it." What those consequences will be he states clearly enough, but we fancy we can just trace a little tenderness and unsteadiness cf touch when he comes to describe the state of things which renders these conse quences inevitable. "My Lords, this measure was re commended by a speech from the Throne ;"—written, his Grace might have added, " by my Right Honourable Friend in the other House;".—" it has been passed by a majority of the House of Commons, consisting of more than half the House of Commons. My Noble Friend has said in the course of this debate, this vote of the House of Commons is inconsistent with the original vote given by the House of Commons on this same question, and inconsistent with the supposed views of the constituents by whom they were elected. My Lords, I do not think that is a subject which this House can take into its consideration ; for, first, we can have no accurate knowledge of the fact; and, in the next place, whether it was a fact or not, this, my Lords, we know— that it is the House of Commons that has passed this Bill. . . . That we know by the votes of the House of Commons." Now, thi s is much ado about nothing, for the purpose of disguising something. The Duke insists on the measure bein g recommen d e d by th e Cr ow n an d passed by the Comm ons ; both of which are by no means extraordinary occurrence s , and neither of which is usually considered to bind the hands of the Lords. He parades the " facts " of the case, the votes of the House of Commons, and all that, and then pretends that the Lords have nothing to do with the supposed views of the constituency. Have they not ? On the contrary, in the clear still depth of his Grace's own sound understanding eo the views of the con s tit uency—o f t h e grea t an d enlight ened majority of the p gives way, and recomm en d s the same course t o th e L or d s . He knows that the Pie—are the reason why his Grace People are not against, but for the measure. He knows also, better than we could tell him, that the formidable " consequences " which he mentions a dozen times over, viz., the collision of the two Houses, the introduction of another Bill, the forcible passage of that other Bill through the Lords, and the irremediable damage done thereby to the Upper House, would not arise from the mere accident of a temporary agreement between a speech from the Crown and a re corded vote to the House, but from the fact that that speech and that vote were backed by an irresistible power of public opinion and public determination. His Grace contrives to elude this fact. The views of the constitu ency cannot be ascertained, he says, and whatever they are to have nothing to do with them. He has more to do with them than he chooses to confess. If there were no other votes in the case than a Royal speech and a vote of the Commons, he might safely recommend the Lords to do what was right in their own eyes without fear of the consequences. His 3 race's discussion of the " consequence" is so thoroughly en militaire that it deserves at least a place in his dispatches, whatever its propriety in his legisla tive compositions. " I beg to remind you, my Lords, that you ought not to take a position on which you cannot stand, on which you can do nothing." Most excellent advice ! Would that it were more generally followed. Nine-tenths of the follies and miseries that surround us would have been avoided if people had only considered how they were to get out of the scrape before they got into it. Will his Grace allow us to suggest a trifling addition to this golden rule ?—viz., that you ought not to make an advance in which you cannot persevere, and every step of which you will have to re trace. The Duke, and his friend in the Commons, have now for three or fonr times, completed very long, difficult, costly, and fatal political marches, in spite of the re monstrances of the wisest advisers, with no other result than an uncommonly quick and disastrous retreat. For thirty years, with some slight changes of plan, the nation has been marching under the Duke and his party against free trade , and now we h ave to get back all that distance as we ll as we can in a l ess number of weeks. But we will go on with the Duke's dispatch. " You have great influence on public opinion ; men have great confidence in your judgment ; but, sepa rately from the Crown and the House of Commons, you can do nothing: if you break your connexion with the Crown and the House of Commons, you will then put an end to the functions of the House of Lords.. My Lords, I ask you to reflect what must be the immediate consequence of your rejecting this Bill." Now, we must say that we think the Lords do not owe much to his Grace for the peculiar and very gratuitous footing on which he has placed their acquiescence. lie has made it a mere capitulation for fear of " the conse quences." They might be supposed accessible to reason. He has not vouchsafed them one argument about the corn-laws. They might value his own opinion. He has assigned no other ground for his own conversion than the very irrelevant and dangerous one, that he was bound to his Sovereigns by peculiar motives of gratitude, which obliged him to do all the mischief that his Sove reigns, present or future, might possibly ask at his hands. Ile might have suggested to the Lords that there was some authority in the voice of the people, that an opinion advanced with so much force, eloquence, discretion, and, above all, with so marvellous and noble a peace ableness, could not be f ar wrong . O n t h e contrary, he s tudiously blinked the p eo pl e . He might h ave recom mended that modesty of thought which makes the humble and the sensible distrust their own judgment when they find themselves alone in their opinion, which is the supposed foundation of that unanimity required in our juries, and without which society must soon be dis solved. He might have urged that the cause was not sacred, that the sliding scale was not an article of faith. that in a matter of mere commercial opinion it was to submit to and all other one—one stated rightdbfloerptrcoaopci practical t a hi r a ea t u i t v h el o y r i u t ine substitutedsi n . f o oF r nmoeer—dt hereomn iy e_n about a change of ex pressiondread of the con sequences,---7 imes. d tamestthat overa ssimply hardly a a ; score and NEW ZEALAND.

The following are the recommendations contained in the report of the committee:.. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN ON THE DE PARTURE OF VESSELS FROM A COUNTRY DEEMED DANGEROUS, FOR FRANCE " 1. The captain of every vessel leaving one of the ports of Egypt, Syria, or Turkey, for France, must be the bearer of a certificate given him by the French Consul of the place on the day or on the eve of his de parture. To this certificate must be annexed a certifi cate from the French medical man, especially appointed for that purpose, stating the particulars regarding the general health in the country, of the passengers and the crew, as likewise the healthy state of the vessel at her departure. " 2. This bill of health is not to be regarded as clean if, at the time of the departure of the vessel, a pestilence existed or was imminent in the country. " 3. 'The bill is likewise to be deemed unclean (crute) if individual cases of plague (pates sporadiques) are of a nature, either from their number or their intensity, to en gender fears for the propagation of the disease. "4. In every other case the bill of health is to be re garded as clean. " 5. Provisionally, and until experience, which we deem indispensable, as well as regards the public safety as inter- ,national relations, having been resolved in a satisfactory manner evident to all, the question of conveyance, the trunks containing the linen, the clothes and goods of the passengers and the crew, are to undergo fumigation dur ing the transit, or are *to be sealed at the place where they are shipped, to be opened in a French lazaretto ; • the passengers and sailors are only to be allowed to retain such clothes as may be actually nettessary during + the voyage." PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING THE VOYAGE AND AT THE DIFFERENT PORTS STOPPED AT. "6. Every vessel of the royal navy, each postal steamer coming from the East must have a medical man on board ; it were advisable that this medical man be appointed by the French Board of Health. " 7. The duty of these medical men on board would be to see the necessary measures for the preservation of health attended to, principally respecting the airing of the vessels; they are to note down every evening the state of the crew and passengers. " 8. If duing the voyage the vessel puts in at any port, the certificates given at the port of departure are to be viewed by the medical man attached to the board of health of the place, who is to add his remarks on the state of health of the place and of the neighbourhood. This certificate, if deemed requisite, is to be countersigned by the consul. _ _ "9. The medical man on board is to keep an exact memorandum of any communications he may hear on board, as well as of any important circumstance relative to the state of health. " 10. As regards those vessels which have no medical limn on hoard, the Minister of Commerce will draw out special instructions for the masters, indicating the symptoms of the pestilence, the remedies to be applied, the measures to be taken to prevent, contagion, and the spreading of the disease. " 11. These masters are to note down any remarks or communications they may receive during the passage, or at the intermediate ports, as well as a statement of any illness on board; these notes to be written day by day as the occasion may require." PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN ON THE ARRIVAL IN PRINCE. " 12. The commanders of vessels in the royal navy and of the post•oflice steamers haring a medical man on board, are to remit to the competent authorities : " 1. The bill of health and annexed certificate receivei at the port they started from. "2. The journal kept by the medical man on board, stating any case of illness which may have occurred dur ing th passage. " The medical man on duty belonging to the Board of Health of the port where the vessel arrives, to whom the two above certificates are to be given, is to examine them carefully, and to certify the actual state of health of the crew and passengers, as well as the healthy state of the vessel, and is to make known the result of his investigations, in a report the form of which will be de noted by the administration " 13. On receipt of the bill of health and certificate given at the departure of the vessel, of the journal kept on board, and of the report of the medical man of the port arrived at, the competent authorities are to deter mine the duration of the quarantine, and if needs be, the special measures to be taken to prevent infection. " 14. For vessels having a medical man on board, coming from Egypt, Syria, or Turkey, with a clean' bill of health, the quarantine is to be fixed at ten days, dating from the departure of the vessel, if during the passage no symptoms of pestilence have manifested themselves. " 15. The quarantine is to be fixed at fifteen days, dating from the departure of the said vessels, if the bill of health is unclean,' if before the departure and during the passage no evil symptoms broke out. " 16. For merchantmen, not having a medical man on bard, a quarantine of ten days, dating from their ar rival, is to be prescribed if they have a clean' bill of health. " 17. The same vessels arriving with an ' unclean' bill of health, but without having had any symptoms of plague on board, are to undergo a quarantine of fifteen days, dating from their arrival, and the goods are to be disembarked. " 18. Any vessel, no matter what her bill of health may say, which, during the passage or on her arrival at a French port, has on board a person attacked by the pesti lence or by a suspicious disease, is to be submitted to a strict quarantine, the duration of which is to be deter mined by the sanitory authorities of the said port. " The passengers and crew are to be sent to the laza retto, and to undergo a quarantine not less than fifteen and not exceeding twenty days. " The goods to be disembarked and ventilated ; the vessel to be thoroughly ventilated, washed, cleaned, and purified, and is to remain empty at least for one month; persons are to be appointed to guard the vessel at a cer tain distance, but they are to be expressly prohibited, under whatsoever pretext, as well as every other per son, from goinc , on board the vessel in quarantine. " 19. The baggage and clothes sent to the lazaretto, having been sealed at the port of departure, are to be ventilated and purified in the manner deemed most ex pedient for preventing infection. " 20. Persons suffering from the pestilence are to re ceive at the lazaretto all that care and attention given in the best organised hOspitals of the country." The Presse - remarks as follows on the above conclu sions : "It is evident that the committee of the Academie de Meiecine go as far as we do in the proposed system of reform, and they limit themselves to the adoption of the conclusions, and to giving their support to the in ceseant appeals of MM. Auber, Roche, and Alexis de Valon. We shall only remark upon two articles, which we deem altogether inadmissible. Some practical know ledge was wanting to the Academie de Me keine. If a merchant, or other person qualified, had formed part of the committee, they would never have admitted Arti cles 5 and 19, relative to the sealing of the merchandise; this would be a source of needless delay, embarrassment, and trouble, and would be of the greatest prejudice to our steamers. "Article 17, which specifies a strict quarantine of fif teen days, and the disembarking of the merchandise, on any vessel arriving with an unclean bill of health, is not logic, in a scientific point of view. Besides which, it would tend to suppress commerce with the east in all those ports void of lazarettos. Would it be just to oblige the vessels of Cette, of Port Vendres, &c., to have first to undergo a ruinous quarantine at Marseilles, before returning to the proprietor ? According to our notion, the academy has not sufficiently weighed this article, which deserves closer investigation. However, the question of quarantine has made a rapid step in advance, and we flatter ourselves not to have lent a powerless hand." The Marchioness of Hastings, and Captain Hastings, R.N., have left town for Efford House, Lymington. SHIPS' STORES.—The Customs authorities having had under their consideration the regulations allowing spare spars and other articles of wood goods, as specified in the printed instructions furnished to the tide-surveyors for their informa tion and guidance, to be left on board foreign vessels when cleared inwards for ships' stores, and deeming it expedient that the same should be extended to British vessels, have ordered that the officers at the port of London, and at the several outports and places a l ong t h e coas t s o f the kingdom, do govern themselves in future accordingly, observing that if such British vessels are from any port in the Baltic, the coast of Norway, or any port to the eastward of Brest, one-third less than the enumerated quantities should be allowed, as in the case of foreign vessels returning to the Baltic, the tide surveyor taking care to record all articles left by them for ship's use in the tide-waiter's book and the clearing journal, and also in the certificate left with the master of the vessel. MONSTER TRAINS.—On Monday morning, as early as seven o'clock, the approach to the termini of the Brighton, Dover, and Croydon Railway was the scene of much con fusion, owing to the immense number of persons waiting for the early excursion trains. The eight o'clock Brighton train consisted of forty-four carriages, and was propelled by three powerful engines. It extended nearly half a mile in length, and the carriages contained nearly four thousand persons.

PRICE SD. MEXICO and the UNITED STATES. The bombastic President Polk has at length had the felicity of inditing a war message to Congress, craving for " two regiments of volunteers, and other levies of an equally formidable kind, to resist the hostile purposes of the Mexicans." The President, however, makes out but a poor case. The Mexicans, it seems, refused to re ceive an American envoy. This is surely no casus The other grief is that the Mexicans keep up an army on the banks of the Rio Bravo. Why, they have had posts there for these number of years. And even sup posing the Americans had a rightful title to Texas, it is not apparent how this should render it a crime for the Mexicans to garrison Matamoras. The territory intervening between the Rio Bravo and the Nueces has been long a disputed territory between Texas and the adjoining provinces. Notwithstandin g this dispute, the Mexican commander did not occupy this territory, but kept on his own side of the Rio del Norte. Had the American commander done the same, and kept at the Corpus Christi, on the Nueces, contented with protecting the territory from on have th e defensive. a e invasion, no re collision n;iai ae d strictlycou ldtaken e,Bfloitr the G eneral Taylor not only crossed the Nueces and seized the whole of the disputed territory, but, under n idle plea, he proceeded a l so to blockade Matamoras, and cut it off from the sea. In this, General Taylor wantonly commenced hostilities ; as, indeed, the Whigs and the Senate are prepared tio maintain, as they insist that he should not have gone beyond Corpus Christi. Collisions hiving taken place, it was impossible to re fuse the vote of levies and of money, although the leading members of the Senate, Coltoun amongst others, protested that the country could not consider itself at war. The united bodies of Congress could, indeed, alone de clare that. War, however, it is, if President Polk chooses to make it so. This he seems scarcely prepared to do upon the land frontier of the Rio del Norte. lie may, h )w -ever, give orders to the fleet in the Gulf to operate on , the coast, or to whatever vessels are on the Pacific, to I seize Monterey or the forts of,California. And, as compensation for that unlimited store of grievance, which has been amassed on the supposed wrongs done to American citizens by Mexico, Mr. Polk may insist on retaining such provinces or possessions. Federalist movements, too, may be got up at the same time, under American influence, to paralyse the efforts of the Mexican Government and facilitate the work of spoliation. Is Europe prepared to see Mexico thus dis membered, and the autopsy made before her eyes ? It is to be feared that such is the case. A serious means of effective war would alone be likely to make the Americans hesitate. And neither France nor England is prepared to volunteer in such a struggle. We have had little or no thanks from Spain for having fought for and won its iadependence. We might risk still less profit or gratitude from the Spanish race in Mexico. The age of political, as well as of religious, crusades is past.—Examiner. CANADIAN NEWS, (From the Toronto Herald of May 7.) LOWER PROVINCES.-Our latest advice* from- the Lower Provinces inform us that, in New Brunswick, a most destructive freshet had accompanied the breaking up of the ice above Fredericton, on the river St. John and its tributaries • almost erery. bridge .of any conse quence between, tliat city and Woodstock; has been de stroy:ed. The great crash is said to liaie commenced at the French Village, twelve miles above Fredericton, where dwelling houses, barns, horses, cattle, sheep, &c., were swept away ; and at Sugar Island, two miles lower, the destruction was still more extensive and ap. palling, elm trees, three feet in diameter, being snapt ' asunder, or bent like reeds by the irresistible force of the ice and water, while houses, barns, haystacks, cattle, &c., were borne down the current, or crushed to fragments and piled among the ice upon the shore. Upwards of one hundred buildings are said to have been destroyed ; and such was the feelings of alarm, even in Fredericton, that a greal amonnt of property was removed from the immediate vicinity of the river, and several families took up their abode on Maryland Hill, which overlooks the city. No account of the amount of injury sustained above Woodstock had been received, though it was known that two lives had been lost. From Fredric ton, downwards, the ice still continued strong for several miles. The House of Assembly of the Province has placed 12,0001. at the disposal of the Executive, to meet any emergency that may arise out of the dispute between Great Britain and the United States, concerning the Oregon question. The Assembly closed its session on the 14th instant, and was formally prorogued to the first Tuesday in June, by the Lieutenant-Governor in person. The attention of the Assembly throughout the session has been devotf d, almost exclusively, to the ordinary business of the country. A general election is expected to take place early in July. It seems now settled that the New Cathedral is to be built at St. John, in perference to Fredericton. Papers, from Sydney, Cape Breton, of the Ist April, state the ice in the harbour was then impassable, and was expected to disappear altogether in two or three days ; " altogether precisely four weeks earlier than the average of the last four years." So early a spring is said to be without precedent in that region. The accounts from Newfoundland represent the Seal Fishery as hitherto not only unsuccessful but disastrous. The St. John's Courier states, that upwards of eighty vessels had been spoken which had caught no seals, nor had they heard of one that had been fortunate enough to take any ; and the Public Ledger gives the names of seven vessels already known to have been lost in the ice. The Governor of Prince Edward's Island has involved himself in a controversy with the Assembly, by dis missing the Speaker from the Executive Council, in con sequence of opinions expressed by him in the Assembly. The following resolution was carried by a vote of 14 to 3 : "Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the House of Assembly has no confidence in Sir Henry Vere Huntly, Lieutenant-Governor of this Colony." It was resolved by the Assembly on Friday last, on the motion of Mr. Baldwin—That this House are of opinion that such en alteration should be made in the regula tions in the crown lands office, as will enable parties buying land from the original purchasers of any quantity not less than fifty acres, to have their purchases recog nised, and on production of the proper assignments, and tender of the sums due on such portions of land, that transfers to the assignees be made in the books of the Department, and that deeds in due course of time be issued to them. ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN HER MAJESTY'S •SLOOP FANTOME AND A BARBARY PIRATE. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated May 19 : In the greatest haste I write you a brief account of a severe chastisement which has been inflicted by her Alsjesty's ship Fantome, 16, Commander Sir F. W. Nicholson, Bart., on the Moorish pirates, who have for some time been committing depredations in these Straits; but I am sorry to say not without casualties among the ship's company of the Fantome, a midshipman having been killed, and one of the lieutenants wounded, toge tber with a serjeant of marines and five seamen and marines. " You have already the intelligence communicated by Lloyd's agent of the seizure of a small British merchant brig, named the Ruth, by the pirates, off the coast of Barbary, and the escape of the crew in the boats, and that upon their representation the Fantome had left Gi braltar to endeavour to recover the vessel—a portion of the crew proceeding in the sloop of war to point out the locality of the miscreants. " It appears that the Fantome had little difficulty in finding the brig, and, seeing that they would have to fight for her, Captain Nicholson made his dispositions accordingly. He dispatched the master and one party to get the vessel off, and, being fired upon by a large force collected on the shore, he pushed off in the boats, place,ot the lengthenedntil the mastere n g aagneam hisen t p t h a e r n t y t h o a o a k g under cover of the guns of the sloop, to occupy th e i r a w t h te ic n h tio la n s . lasted Ruth off, and had recovered some of her valuable cargo. Captain Nicholson commanded in person , and he and his small party were opposed by very considerable num bers of the Moors, who arme d with I p stela, guns, and cutlasses, obstinately disputed his landing, and after wards his advance on the strand, some of them fighting with great bravery. A great many were killed by the crew of the Fantome, and a large number must have suffered from the guns of the sloop covering the launch ing of the ship, for I hear from an eye-witness that nothing could exceed the precision and • exactness with which the firing was conducted. " From what I can learn the affair was a very gallant one indeed, and was admirably conducted. The pirates had a great advantage over the Fantome's crew in point of arms • their muskets carried twice as far as th ose o f the seamen and marines. To this circumstance is to be ascribed the loss of Mr. Boys, the midshipman, who was a gallant and pro mising young officer, and lam informed is a son of a captain in her Majesty's navy. lie was killed on the return of the boats to the sloop when they had accom plished their task, and under the same c ircumstances the first lieutenant, Mr. Saunderson , was severely wounded, four or five of the together with the colour-sergea nt and ship's company. The action took place on the 12th of May, at a point of the nort h coast of Barbary called Tre- forces, to the eastward of the Tetuan, " The seizure of the brig was one of the most daring acts of piracy tha t has been committed in the Mediter ranean for several years, and when it is considered that it was in the strait and narrow passage of the Mediter ranean by which merchant vessels pass, the importance of the severe chastisement inflicted by Sir F. Nicholson and his gallant officers and crew will be duly estimated, not only in official, hut in mercantile quarters." - - THE MORNING MAILS.—In consequence of the many changes recently made in the Post-office by the further open ing of the several railways and the branches in connexion with them, the Postmaster-General yesterday caused to be issued an amended list of towns, bags to and from which are dispatched from and received at the General Post -office. The following towns have been added to the list published in March last in this journal :—Newcastle-on-Tyne, Queen. borough, Sheerness, Tiverton, and Tunbridge.

From all we heve been able to collect, she appears to have been one of the largest class in the Swedish mercantile service. In all there were 133 persons on board.
