The news which reached the City yesterday from the West Indies is of a melancholy and startling nature. It is, indeed, no new thing to hear of terrific storms, sudden tornados, and great disasters, both on land and sea, in consequence. COWPER, in his impassioned appeal on behalf of tho West Indian slaves, makes marked reference to the " Wild tornados Strewing yonder seas with wrecks, Wasting towns, plantations, meadows," and hears in them the protest of the ALMIGHTY against the abuse of his creatures. The history of those islands is full of the records of disaster wrought by some of these sudden and terrible visitants. It is not often, however, that the catastrophe assumes the proportions in dicated by the telegram received yesterday morning from Havannah by the directors of the Royal West Indian Mail Company. The hurricane occurred at St Thomas's on Oct. 29, and no less than four of their steamers were wrecked in it ; two others, the Tyne and Solent, were dismasted, but serviceable. Fifty ships were on shore, the town in ruins, and the lobs of life is represented as terrible. Notwith standing these manifold disasters the company's service will be maintained, and the Douro was to leave for home on the 4th. By that vessel we shall of course receive full particulars of the misfortune, which there can be no doubt is of a very serious nature. The loss to the West Indian Mail Company is, of course, a very serious one. The Rhone steamer, which was lost at Peter Island, was a first-class steamer, with engines of 500 horse power. She was to have started for England the very day after the hurricane, and a report was yesterday current that she had a large amount of specie on board, but of this there is some doubt. The other steamers were of lessee tonnage, and two of them are supposed to have been laid up in St. Thomas's harbour, where they were carried from their anchors and dashed ashore. The Conway, one of the total wrecks, was bringing the mails, it is thought, from the Windward Islands. With the exception of the Rhone, all the steamers lost were employed in the intercolonial ser vice. Unfortunately there is little room for hoping that the disaster has been exaggerated, since another telegram has been received from Lloyd's agent at St. Thomas's confirming the accounts of fearful destruction. Of the loss on shore we hear no par ticulars beyond the two mournful sentencps— " Terrible loss of life. Town in ruins." The only consolatory item of intelligence is that the fever which has raged so severely in this unlucky island is over—an instance, if the tornado had any share in its removal, of the cure being worse than the disease. At the beginning of October last year occurred the terrible hurricane which swept over the Bahamas and desolated Nassau ; but, as far as we yet know, it was less destructive to shipping than that at St. Thomas's. This island has very recently been transferred by the Dutch to the Americans, and the latter have assumed the direction of affairs at an unfortunate conjuncture. Another violent typhoon is reported from the China seas, and immense danger has, it is said, been done to property along the shore near Hong Kong. The Manilla steamer Malespina is missing, and we shall probably hear of furthtr disasters afloat. Science may indicate the probable course of these storms, when once it knows their starting point; but it does not guard against them in any way, and we fear the wrecks and disasters on land and shore, which we report this day from east and west, will continue, in spite of all precau tions, to be ranked among the ordinary casualties of tropical regions. We may derive one satisfaction at least from the recent disturbances in Italy, and that is, we have passed through an ordeal that has long threatened us. Ever since the war in Germany and the restora- THE SUN, LON»oisi. FRIuAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1%7 tion of Venic a there have been murmurs ever and anon to the effect that much had been done, but that more In '3 wanted, and that nothing would ever satisfy the Dolians but the full and complete re storation of Rome. For this purpose it was averred that all would Strive to the uttermost, and there could be no real peaaee until the work was accomplished. An answer has been given to all this in a very summary imanner, and we may now conclude that the possession of Rome is not the one thing needful, which so many have declared it to be. We do not mean to say by any means that it would not be hailed with delight in many quarters, but that is quite another thing from declaring that it was, and must be, th ?, sine qua non of Italian pros perity. If GARIBALDI was not justified in his attempt by what haTpeued at the outset of the affair, he is now doubly condemned in the eyes of all noble-minded and far-seeing persons. Of course there is no question of his bravery, that is the same as ever, nor of the enthusiasm and energy displayed by his followers, but he never succeeded in this recent enterprise in stirring up the zeal of the multitude, and the feeling of the people was not with him, not, at any rate, to the extent necessary to accomplish his purpose, or to prove the necessity of it. It is true that French troops were in Rome, but before they came the matter was pretty well settled, and we have no reason to suppose that the result would have been favourable to the Garibaldians if no French soldier had quitted the shores of France for Civita Vecchia and thence to Rome. It must be remembered also that some time elapsed from the commencement of the attempt on Rome until the arrival of the French, and therefore if things had been, as GARIBALDI prophesied, or persisted in supposing, in spite of all assurances to the contrary, in all likelihood the French EMPEROR would have deemed it advisable to let events take their course. It was one thing to despatch his forces to the assistance of those molested by wandering bands of insurgents, revolutionists, or by whatever other name they might be called, and another to interfere with the decisive change brought about by the expressed desire and earnest endeavour of the nation at large. NAPOLEON was wary, as usual ; he dis cerned pretty plainly the turn of affairs before he took a step that might compromise him, and the result has as usual justified his policy. No sooner did the French appear on the scene than the Italian Government found a ready excuse for action, and hence the speedy solution of the affair. It by no means follows, however, that the work is done because the danger of fighting is over, and perhaps it may be affirmed that the more difficult task still awaits the judgment of the French EM PEROR and the Italian KING. The best way will be to consider what circumstances may demand, and not to waste time in speculating who was right and who was wrong in the outset of the affair. If people are disposed to blame the French EMPEROR for the somewhat haughty style in which he has carried on affairs since the recent outbreak, it must be admitted that he has had great provocation with one thing and another. The Italian Government did not keep implicitly to and wits their families amounting to nearly 10,000, will, by the operation of the new act, be thrown out of employment just on the eve of winter. We have already enough of complaints of the dullness of trade and general slackness of employment, without adding to our list of idle hands so formidable an array. The costermongers have carried on their humble trade for years, without any complaint, and they are in fact of great service to those as poor as themselves, who do not care to buy in shops. They have latterly held a large meeting, at which they agreed to a memorial asking for the postponement of the execution of the 6th clause of the act, which allows no goods or stalls to be kept in the highway, And yesterday a deputation of the principal gentle men of Whitechapel waited upon Mr. HARDY with it. Mr. HARDY, who fully entered into the difficulties of the case, said that unfor tunately the Home Secretary had no power to control the operation of the act, but he thought the police might with advantage make a distinction between the different streets in which trades were carried on, and to carry out the clauses with as little stringency as possible. Unfortunately this is just one of the cases in which our policemen like to show their authority, and we hope that something more may be done in behalf of these poor people at the autumnal session of Parliament. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Thursday Evening. It appears by further information from Italy, which may be relied upon, as it has been collected from official sources, that the battle between the Papal troops and the Garibaldians, near Monte Rotondo, was even more serious and sanguinary than first described. Garibaldi had 10,000 men under his command, of whom 800 were killed or wounded. They left in the hands of the Roman troops 2,000 prisoners, 6,000 guns, and 6 cannon. The Pontifical troops had 150 men killed or dis abled. Your readers should not place any confidence in the rumours and insinuations circulated by alarmist journals, as to differences between the French and Italian Cabinets. The result of the impotent attempt of Garibaldi, and the change in the aspect of the Roman question is such that directions have been given by the Government to countenance the order for the departure of the third division of the French contingent, which was in readiness at Toulon to leave at any moment for Civita Vecchia. The conviction is spreading in Paris that the Roman difficulty is at an end. Marshal O'Donnell, Duke of Tetuan,wbo played in his time such an important part in war and poli tics in Spain, died on Tuesday, at Biarritz, from typhus fever. He was 59. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at St. Cloud, under the presidency of the Emperor. The Empress was present at the Council. Marie Sophie, ex-Queen of Naples, has just em barked at Marseilles with the intention of joining her husband, Francis the Second, who still resides at Rome. _ _ The Paris papers to-day are remarkably " sober" in regard to news or even inventions, that being the orthodox expression where the quantity of news to be imbibed is small. Failing in this they descant upon a supposed confusion relative to the exact name of the locality where the defeat of Garibaldi occurred. First it was called the affair of Monte Rotondo ; then it was described as the route of Tivoli ; now the battle is called the combat of Mon tana. The Emperor of Austria was received with as much demonstration of affection at Wurtemburg on his journey homewards as at Strasburg. There was a grand dinner at the Chateau Royal, and a gala night at the Opera. Similar demonstrations were made at Stuttgard. On the occasion of the recent visit of the Consul- General and Charge d'Affaires of France at Japan to the residence of Osaka, the Taikoun went on board the Admiralty frigate La Guerriere, carrying the flag of Admiral Roye. Such an act on the part of a Sovereign of Japan, hitherto unparalleled, was the occasion of a brilliant reception, in which the English ships in the roads of Osaka partici pated. Really Royal personages are very tardy in their correspondence, at least if one may judge from an official notification in the Moniteur of to-day. Most people probably forget when King Otho of Greece died, it is so long ago, but it appears that it was only yesterday the Emperor Napoleon received the letter of the King of Bavaria ratifying the fact of King Otho's decease. Although the splendid new opera on the Boule vards is in an advanced state, and its facade even now presents a majestic appearance, it is believed that the opening cannot take place until 1870. Should this be so, it will be a centenary anniversary of the opening of the opera of the Palais Royal, which was in 1770. That building was soon after wards destroyed by fire. Another murder has been committed. The crime was committed at Lous-le-Saulnier, under the fol lowing cirumstances :—A young man of 25, named Laurent Prost, in the employ of Fevelat, a tin-plate worker, fell in love with his master's daughter, and on asking permission to marry her was dismissed. The murderer in a fury went the next day to M. Fevelat and renewed his solicitation. On meeting with another refusal he took a revolver from his pocket and shot M. Fevelat in the chest. Count Duchatel, formerly Minister of the Interior under Louis Philippe, has died in Paris after a long illness which was not supposed to be of a dangerous character, but death took place very suddenly. The Count was born on the 19th of February, 1803. He was a member of the Academy of Moral and Political Science, free member of the Academy of Fine Arts, and had the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. The Count leaves two children, Vis count Duchatel and the Duchess de la Tremoille. November is in a fair way of losing its character for gloom, fog, and suicide. The sun rose cheerily and brilliantly, and has not been obscured for a moment all day. The streets of Paris are as dry and as dusty as in the height of summer, but it has been peculiarly cold. The work of demolition at the Exhibition pro- ceeds with astonishing rapidity and regularity. At this rate but a very short time will elapse when all that was of it will be like " the baseless fabric of a vision." Some of the restaurateurs of Paris have lately been victimised to a serious extent, they having been robbed of silver forks and even silver dishes. A man named Edmond Moulin has been sentenced by the Police Tribunal to five years' imprisonment and five years' surveillance by the police for such robberies from the café restaurant of M. Bignon on the boulevards. It is supposed that the robber has carried on this game for seven months, during which time M. Bignon bas lost articles of great value. The waiter detected him. While at dinner he pre tended to read a newspaper, with which he covered a silver dish, and, watching his opportunity, put the dish in his pocket. lie played the game once too often. Another customer dined at the same time who bad paid his bill. The dish was handed to him, and the accomplice made off with it. M. Gosselin, another cafe proprietor, has lost a great many valuable articles in the same way. ACCIDENT CAUSED BY A GUY. — On Tuesday morning as a "guy," supposed to represent King Theo dore, stopped the traffic at the corner of Gray's-inn, a coal waggon, laden with throe tons of coals in sacks, was sud denly pulled up, and a poor fellow who was lying on the top of the load was thrown off. "Unfortunately the wheel passed over h's stomach, and when he was lifted up he was found to be dead.

PARIS, Nov. 8, (4.40 a.m.) The Moniteur announces that the news from Italy is satisfactory. Tranquillity continued to prevail at Florence and most of the cities. At Milan and Pavia, where manifestations organ ised by the Mazziuians rendered the interference of the armed force necessary, the population have not responded to the appeals of the agitators, who chiefly obey the orders given by the secret societies. Some arrests have taken place, and order has been re-established at the two cities. FLORENCE, Nov. 8. The Italian Parliament will be convoked before the end of November, and probably on the 26th. Duke d'Aosto has been charged by the King to proceed to Venice to compliment their Hellenic Majesties. _ The Danish Minister, M. Brahetrake, has arrived at Florence. heir engagements, and in consequence they found themselves in difficulties which they could not cope with. It may fairly be said, however, that those old things have passed away, and that we stand now upon new ground in the matter of this Roman question. In all this recent imbroglio there is no one more to be pitied than VICTOR EMMANUEL. He is in a most responsible position, and whatever he does is sharply criticised. It is very certain, how ever, that the Italians are going against their own most important interests in the opposition they make to their KING. They should remember that if he was driven from power or worried into ab dicating they would be in a very much worse posi tion than they are now. The French EMPEROR would then haie it all his own way in Italy, and could easily make out that the internal dissensions of the country rendered it necessary for him to take the lead of affairs, and carry out things with a strong hand. For the sake of the progress and prosperity of Italy, we earnestly trust that the good sense and patriotism of the Italians will triumph over the jealous fears and angry feelings of their momenta of excitement. They had better all consent to let bygones be bygones, and proceed to the consideration of their actual position. The Emperor NAPOLEON has acted better than might have been supposed in the last transaction. The French have given up the prisoners taken at Mon tana to the Italian authorities ; and we learn fur ther that in consequence of intelligence received from the seat of war that the departure of another French division from Toulon to Civita Vecchia has been postponed. So far good, at any rate ; and, what is more, this modification of extreme measures affords hope for the future, as well as encourage ment for the present. The next thing to look for ward to is, that the French troops now in Rome may withdraw to CivitaVecchia without delay ; and, if this 'desideratum be accomplished, we have no fear for the result of the subsequent negotiation that will take place. There is no cause whatever to be lieve that the Emperor NAPOLEON is not the friend of Italy; on the contrary, he has always been its sincere well-wisher, and often rendered it invaluable assist ance. Why, then, should he now be styled an in sidious foe, and an unworthy ally? He is placed in an awkward position with regard to his engage ment with the POPE, and no one has a right to blame him for fulfilling his promises, even if in so doing he injures his own popularity, and perhaps does not act altogether in accordance with what he considers the most suitable policy for the exigencies of the present age. It may be said, then, that the Italians in a great measure held their fate in their own hands. Let them not rush head long to the goal of their fancies without regard or scruple for the consequences, but let them learn wisdom from the adversity that has come upon them, and firmly resolve to follow the wisest and the most praiseworthy course. The truest friend to his country is he who ranks her interests above his own particular inclinations, and prefers general good to partial triumph. That Italy may emerge from this cloud is the earnest wish of all indepen dent minds in every country of Europe. All large public improvements, it may be as sumed as a rule, press heavily for a time upon some branches of honest industry. The rebuilding of thoroughfares, the destruction of rookeries, the construction of subterranean railways, and nume rous other instances abundantly prove this painful truth. The raising of the Holborn Valley is a bene ficial change which London has needed for years, and which the vast increase of metropolitan traffic has rendered well nigh indispensable, but the un fortunate denizens of the numerous courts and alleys which fringed Holborn Hill have any thing but reason to be thankful for it. In the same way the new Metropolitan Traffic Act, which undoubtedly contains many useful provisions, is likely to press very hardly on a largo and industrious class of humble bread winners. It is a question whether the legislators who passed the Act have accurately appreciated the sufferings which its somewhat sweeping clauses will occasion, and we think some of them might with great advantage be mitigated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Sittings in Full Court before the Judge Ordinary Mr. Justice Keating, and Mr. Baron Channell. RUDDY V. RUDDY. This was a suit instituted by the wife to obtain a judicial separation. An application bad been made for alimony pendente lite, and the Court had made an order against which Mr. Ruddy now appealed. Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner, and the respondent in person. The Respondent now said that the petitioner had stated that he hal the lease of a house worth £GOO a year, but he had not obtained that lease, and till he did so he was unable to pay the alimony ordered. The small sums which be had received from the house had been expended in repairs, &c. Ile had at present no means whatever, and hardly earned enough to support himself and two children. He had no income whatever, although as soon as he could obtain any he should be glad to make the allowance. Dr. Tristram said that Mr. Ruddy was in the cotton-waste business, and derived from that busi ness an income of £6OO, and had a beneficial inte rest in No. 3, Queenhithe, and received through the petitioner at her marriage £l,OOO, which he had invested in the business. The respondent upon this filed an answer, and by this he stated that for some years past his income had not exceeded forty pounds a year, that he had been living on his friends, that proceedings had been taken against him in Chancery, and that the rags he had did not amount to more thill £lO. The petitioner then gave notice that she should examine witnesses before the Court in support of her petition. These witnesses had stated to having seen Mr. Ruddy in possession of various sums of money, and stated that the takings from his business were £6 a day. The Court then made the order complained, and he (Dr. Tristram) now asked for a confirmation of the order of the full alimony of £56 per annum. Mr. Ruddy said that the petitioner had helped herself to all she could, and had taken away books, &c. By his being arrested, &c., he had lost his business, and until he obtained the lease mentioned he could not get his friends to assist him. Ile only required a short period to enable him to get this lease, and then he could comply with the order of the Court. The Court was unanimously of opinion that the order should be confirmed. To upset such an order the appellant ought to prove a strong case, which Mr. Ruddy had failed to do. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PROPER OBJECT FOR AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. —James Henry Ward, a boy, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. The boy, who when first brought to the court was in a wretched condition, was found by Cane, a plain clothes officer of the C Division, begging in the Haymarket. Cane took him into custody, and made inquiries respecting him, and found that his father got his living by singing about the streets as a " nigger," and that the boy was much neglected. Mr. Knox ordered the boy to be taken to St. James's Workhouse for a week, and on his being again brought up, greatly improved in his appear ance, Mr. Knox inquired if the boy's father was present. The father stepped forward and said that his wife was dead, and that he could not do much for his boy, as he had to get his living, and a very preca rious one it was, by singing about the streets, and while he was a way his boy ran the streets. Mr. Knox said that the best thing that could be done for the boy would be to send him to school. The father said he should very much like him sent to a school. Mr. Knox said the boy should be sent to the workhouse for another week, and then sent to a school. ARTFUL ROBBERY.—Mary Riney, alias Niel, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a piece of cotton print from the shop of Mr. Robert James Winter, linendraper, of No. 59, Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road. Arthur Cole, an assistant to Mr. Winter, deposed that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner come up to the shop and handle some goods ; she then walked away, but returned shortly after and undid the fastening of six pieces of cotton print, and then walked away again ; about five minutes after she returned again and took up a parcel of cotton print of the value of £l, and forcing it under her shawl walked off. lie went after the prisoner and brought her back, and then gave her into the custody of a policeman, when she tried but failed to drop something unseen by the con stable. The prisoner was remanded for a week. FRANCE. BOURSE, Nov. 7, Two o'clock.—There is little business, and quotations are generally lower. Three per Cents. are offered at 68f. 30c., losing 22ic.

DARING STREET ROBBERY.—John Thomas, a shabby, rough-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Johann Hincks, a German sailor, on the Queen's highway, putting him in fear, and stealing a bundle containing linen, wearing apparel, and other property, from his person. The prosecutor belongs to a foreign ship lying in the river. He came on shore last night to make some purchases of small stores—a jacket, stockings, and other things, and was returning with them made up into a bundle, which he carried under his arm. He was met by the prisoner, who made a snatch at his bundle. The sailor resisted his attempt to steal it, a struggle took place, and the ruffian knocked him down and took the bundle from him. The pri soner ran away with it. The German, who does not understand our language, made known his loss to the bystanders in the best way he could, and several persons started in pursuit of the pri soner, who was soon overtaken with the bundle in his possession, and consigned to the care of a police man. Several witnesses clearly made out the case against the prisoner, who said, " I did not take the bundle. I never saw it." Mr. Paget said the prosecutor had positively sworn to the prisoner taking the bundle from him, and he was confirmed by a lad named Henry Cox. He committed the prisoner for trial.

After a long struggle, the angler frequently being under water, and at ono time dragged under a bridge, he cleverly managed to laud his fish, amidst the greetings of a large crowd who had witnessed the struggle.—Maryport Advertiser. THE ALLEGED INA ORDER. NEAR LEEDS.—On Wed nesday afternoon detective officer Northcliffe made an im portant discovery close to the scene of the supposed mur der of a woman at a bridge on the Aire and Calder Canal, Hunslet, as reported in our last impression. In a hole under the suspension bridge the officer discovered a •'harden" apron, which had evidently belonged to a mill girl, covered with clots of blood. The apron was cut into small pieces. At first it was supposed that the pieces of harden found had constituted the linings of a pair of men's trousers, but upon the pieces being examined they prove clearly to have been a female's apron. The search fur the body still continues, but without ouccoo,—Leeds •liercurzi• (tura' iiratbr. 11ER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 7.

This morning Mr. Charles Dickens took his departure, by the ten o'clock express train from Euston-station, ex route for Liverpool, where he will embark to-morrow, on board the Cuba, for America. Besides several of the members of his family the following literary gentlemen accom panied him to Liverpool, to bid him adieu, a prosperous voyage, and a speedy return—Mr. Wilkie Collins, Mr. Charles Collins, Mr. Edmund Yates, Mr. W. H. Wills, Mr. Charles Kent, and Mr. Arthur Chappell. The directors of the company, as a mark of respect to the celebrated author, placed the royal carriage used by her Majesty at his disposal. The distinguished literary gentlemen who accompanied him having taken their seats, the train was set in motion, and, after three deafening cheers from his numerous friends and admirers assembled on the platform, was soon lost to sight. TREMENDOUS HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES. The directors of " the Royal West India Mail Company received this morning the following telegram from their superintendent at Havannah : " Fearful Hurricane at St. Thomas on Oct. 29. The Rhone steamer lost at Peter Island, the Wye steamer lost at Buck Island, the Conway ashore at Tortola, the Derwent ashore at St. Thomas, and Tyne and Solent steamers dismasted, but service able. Fifty ships on shore. Terrible loss of life. Town in ruins. Fever over. The company's ser vice will be maintained. The Douro will leave homewards on the 4th." The above telegram created a feeling of deep re gret throughout the mercantile and shipping inte rest in the City. It is apprehended that the worst is not yet knovin. The hurricane, it will be ob served, occurred on the 29th of October. The sad news of its terrible character must have been for warded the next or following day by steamer to Havannah, which is 1,031 miles from St. Thomas's. It was received there by the company's agent on the sth of November, who at once forwarded the in telligence to the directors in London, the same being received by them yesterday morning. Its transit from Havannah to New York and hence to London by the Atlantic cable occupied two days Throughout the day the offices of the Royal West India Mail Company in Moorgate street were be sieged by parties having an interest in the concern to learn if any fresh intelligence had been received, but beyond that which has been published nothing further is known. The most serious loss to the com pany is that of the Rhone, reported to be lost at Peter Island. She was to have started on her home ward passage to England on the 30th of October. There was a report in the City yesterday that she had specie to the amount of £BO,OOO on board, but of this some doubt exists. The Rhone was a first class steamer, 2,738 gross tonnage, with engines of 500-horse power. The other steamers which en countered the storm were employed in the interco lonial branch of the Royal Mail service. The Wye, lost at Buck Island, off St. Thomas's, was believed to be laid up in St. Thomas's harbour ; if so she must have been carried from her anchors and dashed ashore on the island named. She was 751 tons re gister, with engines of 180-horse power, and was built in 1853. The Conway, mail steamer, wrecked at Tortola, an island about 25 miles southward of St. Thomas's, was 930 tons register, with 300-horse power. She was built in 1816. The company are not positive as to the pelt she was bound from, but infer that she was bringing the mails from the Windward Islands. The Derwent, steamer, was 794 tons register, and fitted with engines of 280-horse power, having been built in 1850. She also is said to have been laid up in St. Thomas's harbour, and was driven ashore there. The Tyne, steamer, which was dismasted, is 1,916 ons register, with engines of 400-horse power. The Solent, steamer, dismasted, is 1,689 tons re- gister, with engines of 400-horsa power. She was on her passage from Colon for St. Thomas's. It will be thus seen that the Royal West India Mail Company have lost four of their steamers and two dismasted, which will considerably interfere with the company's intercolonial service. It ap pears they have five other steamers out on that sta tion, which will at once be employed to maintain the service. But with regard to the ordinary mail service between the West Indies and England, the company's officers are making arrangements by which very little delay will occur. The superin tendent at Havannah telegraphs to the directors that the Douro, steamer, which was due at St. Thomas on Nov. 1, will be despatched from St. Thomas for England on the 4th. This steamer may be expected to reach Southampton on the 25th. They have also another steamer, the Danube, docked at Havannah, which will be put on to follow the Douro, by which time other steamers will have arrived from England to fill up the vacancy left by those wrecked and dismasted. Since the receipt of the above telegram another has been received from Lloyd's agent at St. Tho mas's, confirming the fearful destruction by the gale. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 8. Telegrams received by the Liverpool underwriters, confirming the news of the disaster at St. Thomas, state that the crew of the Rhone were lost and part of the crew of the Wye, and only 12 passengers by the steamer for Southampton were saved.
