She has brought 130 passengers, and $l,OOO in specie. The Baltic passed the steamer Atlantic, from Liverpool, going into New York. The steamer Hermann, from Southampton, ar rived at New York on the Ist inst. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says, the Postmaster-General has deter mined to issue an advertisement for proposals, to be received at the department here till the 31st of October next, for conveying the mails of the United States for six years from the Ist of October, 1854, on all the ocean mail lines now in operation — namely, the Collins', and Law,—Bremeu, Havre, New York and New Orleans, New York and Charleston, Savannah, San Francisco and New Orleans, Vera Cruz, &c. The New York Herald says it is rumoured that the mission to France had been placed at the dis posal of the Hon. Francis B. Cushing, and that he had consented to go. The Washington correspondent of that journal, writing on the same subject, says it is positively asserted that the President has made the unquali fied offer of the French mission to at least one gen tleman besides General Dix, and that of Secretary of Legation to two others. The yellow fever was declining at New .Orleans, both in the number of cases and in malignity The weather continued favourable and confidence in . the abatement of the epidemicwas increasing daily. The fever was on the increase at Natchez, and on the decline at Mobile. A terrible explosion of gunpowder had occurred at Wheeling, near Baltimore. One man was killed and another seriously injured ; two steamers were damaged ; a war-boat sunk, and thousands of dollars worth of windows destroyed. Havannah advices of the 25th ult. contain no political news of importance. Sugars were un changed, but somewhat firmer, and would doubt less advance, should ships arrive, shipping being very scarce, and freights quoted at 4/. a-ton for Cowes and a market. The stock of sugar was 200,000 hogsheads, including that in second hands. Exchange on London, 11f to 11 pm. Telegraphic dispatches from Baltimore contain late Guatemala advces. Mexican news to the 21st of August state that yellow fever was appearing in the State of Guer rero. The leaders of the outbreak at Guanjuato were executed. The Gazette of Guatemala contains an account of the pursuit of the troops of Honduras which had invaded Guatemala. The invaders were pursued by General Vicente Rena on the Bth of July. Several engagements were fought, in which the Honduras Troops were .worsted. The Guatemalans were concentrating all their forces for the purpose of making a decisive demonstration, and ere this, beyond doubt, President Cabanas has been driven. from Guatemala. A good business had been transacted in the New York stock market. The railroad shares had again advanced, with large sales made. Bank shares were heavy, and on the decline. Crystal Palace shares had declined to 90 and 92. No change in Loudon & N. West. all Bedford and Bletchley all Rhin. & Oxfd guarantee all Do. withoutgr Birm.

EXCESSIVE COOLNESS.—On Tuesday afternoon, as one of the partners in the firm of Messrs. Booth, manu facturers, of Holmfirth, was passing from one warehouse to another in Huddersfield, he lost his pocket-book, which contained two cheques on the Huddersfield Banking Company for 6191. Unfortunately on disco - vering his loss he did not proceed instantly to the bank, which was only some 200 yards distant, to stop the pay ment of the cheques. On his going there shortly after wards he found that both cheques had been presented at the counter, and paid to a young man who was said to bear a strong resemblance to the loser of the cash. The payment was made in 2191. in gold, 2001. in Bank of England notes, and 2001. in notes of the Huddersfield Banking Company ; and the person had only left the counter a few minutes before the owner of the cheque entered. The cashier, on being informed of the loss, was greatly surprised at the coolness of the presenter of the cheques, for he said the young man was fully 20 minutes in counting the cash, took up a great space on the counter, and counted the money in a very bungling but cool manner. GHAMSHIRE AGRICUL ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Royal Buckingham shire Agricultural Association was held yesterday at Aylesbury. In the course of the morning the society's annual ploughing match took place in a field about a mile out of town, where some 15 ploughs entered into competition for the prizes that were offered ; and at 2 o'clock the members of the association dined together, to the number of nearly 100, at the George Inn, Mr. W. Lowndes in the chair, supported by M:. Disraeli, M.P., Mr. Dupre, M.P., Mr. T. T. Bernard, d-c. The CHAIRMAN gave, in succession, " The Queen," " Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," and " The President of the Royal Buck inghamshire Agricultural Association, the Duke of Buckingham," which toasts were drunk with the usual honours. Mr. DUPRE then proposed "The Health of Mr. Lowndes, the President of the day," and that gen tleman returned thanks. Mr. BERNARD gave " Success to the Royal Buck inghamshire Agricultural Association." The so ciety, he observed, had now reached its 21st year, and had given great encouragement to agricultural industry, especially among the humbler classes, who had been stimulated to exert themselves to better their condition in life. (Hear, hear.) He was happy to be able to congratulate the meeting on the comparative prosperity which the farming interest was now enjoying, and this was the more gratifying, because it was co-existent with the pros perity of every class of industry in the country. (Cheers.) Though they were, of course, anxious to promote their own interest in the first place, yet, he was sure no one present wished to better himself at the expense of any other portion of his fellow countrymen. (Hear, hear.) The toast was drunk with great cheering. Mr. COOLEY returned thanks on behalf of the association. I have come to, and, indeed, have always been of the opinion, that societies like the present have a tendency to elevate the condition, because they elevate the feelings, of the labouring classes of the country. (Cheers.) I have no doubt we might do more, but it is a great deal to do something con tinuously for 21 years. Ma n y societies may be seen starting with very great and commendable efforts, and with much greater promises, but where are they at the end of five, or even of three years ? (Hear.) When you see a society that has existed for 21. years under all imaginable circumstances, and has still continued to bring together so large an assembly as the present for purposes so pare and honest and honourable as those that have brought us together, then I say we have done that which we may reasonably congratulate ourselves upon. (Hear, hear.) It may lead to greater co *- sequences. It may be the foundation of certainly greater efforts to ameliorate the condition of the working classes of this country, but no one oaa deny that the principle which we adopted 21 years . ago was a sound principle, that the results which have accrued from putting it in practice have been satisfactory and beneficial, and that the genaral effect of this society has been to elevate the fee ings and the condition of the labouring classes o the county of Buckingham. (Cheers.) That is subject of considerable interest, and at no time has it ever been of greater interest than the present. We know well that very great changes are taking place, and that the whole tendency of these ap pears to be to occasion very great changes in the condition of the labouring classes of the country generally. If, for example, it be true that it is more than probable a very considerable eleva tion in the condition of the labouring classes of this country may occur, upon which I will now give no opinion, because it is a subject that leads to great argument, and is one, no doubt, of considerable controversy, it is something to say, that before that change has taken place, we have shown our sympathy with the labouring classes, and have prepared them for the more elevated po sition which, perhaps, they may be called on to assume. Here is the machinery, and here has been the machinery now for a con siderable num ber of years, which has shown to the people about us that we recogn i se their claims and the respecta bility of their position, and that we have always, so far as lay in our power, been prepared to reward them for meritorious conduct and to give them every inducement to show that they were worthy of the sympathy of the community.. Now, no one can tell in an age of rapid change like the present what may be the condition of that particular class in whose fortunes and condition we are to-day more immediately interested. Our proceedings have been stopped for a moment because we have been told some of the candidates of the day were not prepared to receive that humble but ever min cere recognition which we are going to make o their achievements. The ploughmen are not ready to appear, but we shall soon see them. But how do we know what will be the condition of the ploughman in the course of a year or so ? I have recently read, and all of you, no doubt, have done the same, on the i n f orma ti on of a gentleman of considerable authority in such matters, that the plough would be, and is, in fact, co m pl e t e l y super seded. We have at all times thought that what ever revolution occurred, either in circumstances or even in opinions, it wa.s always safe to say, " Speed the plough ;" but now we live in an age, and we have arrived at a period, when it is very doubtful whether, in saying " Speed the plough," we may not be almost as old-fashioned as if we were to say " Success to the jarvey." (Laughter.) Well, gentlemen, when these great material changes are taking place, what I want to impress on you— though, indeed, the very principle of this associa tion that brings us together shows that it is quite unnecessary for me to impress it on you, because you are aware of it—l say that whatever are the changes in material affairs, let there be no change in our moral principle—(cheers)--and, though the plough may be superseded, let us make the English labourer understand that if he cease to be a plough man he still will be a member of a community that respects his virtues if he shows them, and of a community that is prepared to recognise and reward his good qualities, if he proves that he is entitled to that respect and to those rewards. (Cheers.) I therefore consider that this society, which has now, I am glad to say, subsisted for 21 years, is founded on a right principle. What is that principle ? It is the principle that acknow ledges that there is a sympathy of sentiment and an identity of interest between the employer and the employed. (Cheers.) That is really the prin ciple that brings us together, and that is the senti ment which we ought, by our devotion and adhe sion, to consecrate, and by our taking every oppor tunity of proving that we are faithful to it. (Hear, hear.) Then you may rely on it, that whatever changes may occur—and in this age we must be prepared for the greatest, and even for the wildest changes,—so long as that principle is acknowledged by us we may look forward to those changes with out apprehension, because we shall all of us be members of a society founded on the principle of public virtue, and upon an acknowledgment that, whatever may be the circumstances we have to meet, we recognise that between all classes of men the principle of justice and good feeling should be the governing principle to regulate our conduct. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, with these feelings, I can only repeat that it is with the greatest gratifi cation I find myself again at the side of my excel lent friend the chairman as your guest—if, i n d ee d, I may call myself your guest, who am a member of your society. There are very few meetings at which I have, unfortunately, been present since its formation. I believe my absence has always been accounted for by reasons that even you have considered valid, and you may rely upon it that so long as I have the honour of being your representative, I will never permit any circumstance but one, over which I have no control, to prevent me being present at the annual meetings of your society, the general effect of which has been most beneficial to the county of Buckingham. (Cheers.) The prizes were then distributed to the plough men. Several other toasts were given, and the party separated. The prizes awarded by the association to indi viduals of the labouring class for merit of various kinds were here distributed by the chairman—the successful competitors, upwards of 20 in number, being mustered in the centre of the room. Among other prizes was one of 21. 10s. given by Mr. Disraeli to a veteran labourer " for having had borne to him in lawful wedlock 11 children, and brought up nine without parochial relief ;" also by Mr. Disraeli a prize of 1/. 10s. to another per son " for having had borne to him is lawful wed lock seven children, and brought them all up without parochial relief." A third prize of 1/. by the right hon. gentleman was given to a man who had brought up four children under similar cir cumstances. Then followed a list of prizes to ser vants, male and female, for lengths of service and other qualifications, varying from li. to 3/. ; and the " society's coat and buttons," being a species of uniform, to five old and industrious farm la bourers. This duty being over, and the healths of " The Successful Candidates " having being duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN, after a few laudatory remarks, proposed "The Me .nbers for the County, Mr. Dupre and Mr. Disraeli," which was drunk with e-reat enthusiasm. .t, Mr. DUPRE, who was loudly cheered, returned thanks for the honour done him, and observed, that he was prevented from ente :hag upon any dis cussion of political questions, as it was a rule of the society that the ordinary topics of party warfare should be excluded from their meetings. Though in former times they had not been backward in al luding to topics that affected their own important interests, yet party questions had always been ex cluded, and he would not now be the first to in fringe that wholesome regulation. (Hear.) He could not help congratulating them, however, on the fact that amid all t he chan g es which had taken place that society still continued to flourish. (Hear.) He candidly confessed that since they last met things had not gone on as they then anticipated. It had been his object to support, as far as he could, those who had brought forward measures which he believed were for the interest of the country—measures which were introduced in no retrograde spirit, but in harmony with what he considered to be the true spirit and tendencies of the age ; and he was now prepared to give his sup port to good and useful measures, come from what ever quarter they might. (Hear.) He was glad -to acknowledge the present prosperity, which he hoped was not of a temporary nature, but such as would take deep root in the country, and promote • its lasting interests. (Cheers.) ' Mr. DISRAELI on rising was received with seve ral rounds of applause. He said—Gentlemen, the relations between us are so intimate that I am sure it is unnecessary for me to say I must appreciate, in the manner and in the spirit which it deserves, the honour you have conferred upon me, together - with my hon. colleague, in drinking our healths. I have had the honour now for some years of act ing with my hon. friend, Mr. Dupre, in the House of Commons, as your representative, and, without referring to those political subjects which he has properly observed are not matters for our discussion on occasions like the present, I can truly say that on all questions in which your local in terests are concerned I have ever found in him a wise counsellor and an earnest and able supporter. (Cheers.) With regard to the society which has brought us together this day, I confess that I have ever felt for it an interest which circumstances, I think, have perfectly justified. (Hear, hear.) I had the honour, I believe, of being present at its first meeting, and I have the pleasure to-day of hearing its majority toasted by the Colonel of the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry (Mr. Bernard), a very proper person to introduce such a subject to your notice. (Hear.) This is a society the objects of which were much less ambitious originally than those of many other agricultural societies that have not lasted so long ; and there has been no society of the kind whose purpose and whose objects have been more misrepresented than the present. (Hear, hear.) It is one that, from the first, it was the interest of persons to describe and denounce as a political machine • but I think I may truly say, that during the 21 years that it has existed its con duct has been such as to show that those accusa tions had no foundation ; and, at the present mo ment, when no question of immediate urgency and interest connected with the class who are chiefly members of the society is in existence, we find by this well-filled room to-day, and this largely at tended assembly, that the principles which bring us together, and which have always brought us together, have been deep and sincere, and that they have been perfectly independent of any of the transitory passions of the hour. Those who have just now been assembled round our table, I think, perfectly justify the character which I claim for the society, and account for the interest which those who are at all connected with this county must ever feel in it. I remember that even the rewards which we offered have been ridiculed. They are no doubt humble rewards, but they are rewards that gratify the humble. (Cheers.) They are not offered to those who have just received them with so much heartfelt delight as the rewards of virtue, but as symbols on our part that we respect the vir tues. And when it is said that a man may serve for 40 years and receive at the end of it only 405., the critics who make use of such arguments show themselves profoundly ignorant of the feelings of th e peasantry of this country, and of the motives that have produced societies like the present. Why, if once you admit that a mere pounds, shillings, and pence estimate of human conduct ought to govern rewards in human life, I should like to know how many anomalies you might not point out, and how many ridiculous results you might not hold up to public contempt ? But that is only because you choose yourselves to adopt the lowest test for that which we esteem to be the highest conduct. (Hear, hear.) It is, however, unnecessary for me to make a re mark on this subject, because the best refutation of all these charges are the feelings of the labour ing classes of this country when they appear among us, and when their merit is recognised by the means which are at our disposal, and in the man ner which it has been our custom to adopt in this county. (Hear, hear.) I have no hesitation my self in saying—and not doubt you will all, many of you having more extensive opportunities of ob servation than I have had, agree with me in stating —that this society, limited as its influence must necessarily be, has produced during the term of its existence a very beneficial effect, and that the in ducements that it holds forth to the labouring classes of this county are looked up to by them with considerable interest, and with an estimate very different from that formed by those who make critical remarks on circumstances of which they are very indifferent judges. (Cheers.) There is not a single shepherd or ploughman, or dairy maid, who enters this room to receive a reward, who does not comprehend that it is offered to them in conse quence of their moral conduct, and as a reward for their skill and assiduity. (Hear, hear.) They do not at all measure the recognition by the mere amount that is paid them, though that is not des picable—but they feel that they leave this room, after having received that recognition of their con duct, as elevated in their sphere. (Cheers.) And I know well that our friends here, who receive the uniform of the society, the honourable recognition of their labours, go to church in the green coat which they have gained, with the same pride--the feel same rational pride—which the nobleman rnay when he goes in his blue riband to Court, if be has merited that distinction. The principle that dictates the reward is exactly the same, and why should not we give credit to them for being influenced exactly by the same feelings ? My own conviction is that they are influenced by the same feelings, and therefore NEW REGULATION ON PROPERTY FOUND IN CABS AND OMNIBUSES.—There is a new regulation in the Metropolitan Carriages Act, with respect to property found in cabs and omnibuses. It is enacted by the 11th section of the 16th and 17th Vic., cap. 33, that the driver of every hackney carriage wherein any property may be left, shall, within 24 hours, carry the same, if not sooner claimed by the owner, in the state in which be shall find the same, to the nearest police-station, and deposit the same with the inspector or other officer on duty, upon pain that every such driver, making any default, shall be liable to a penalty, not more than 101., or, at the discretion of the magistrate, may be im prisoned for any time not exceeding one month ; and the officer with whom the property is deposited shall enter it into a book with particulars, and the property so entered shall be returned to the person who shall prove to the satisfaction of the police commissioners that the same belonged to him, such person previously paying all expenses incurred, together with such reason able sum to the driver who brought the same as the commissioners shall award. If the property is not claimed within a year it is to be sold, and the proceeds paid to the Receiver-General of the Inla n d Revenue after the expenses, and the sum awarded to the driver by the police commissioner. All property found in any metropolitan carriage is to be_ deposited in the same manner, under a similar penalty or imprisonment, and if not claimed within a year, to be sold, and the money applied as mentioned in cabs. This is a new provision on the subject. THE POOR-LAW BOARD ON THE MEANS OF REMOVING NUISANCES.—The guardians of the Holborn Union hav ing made a communication to the Poor-law Board, stating that frequent instances had been brought under their notice of the existence of nuisances, which they found the provisions of the Nuisances Removal and Dis eases Prevention Act quite inadequate to suppress, and requesting assistance to suppress such evils, the reply of the Poor-law Board was as follows : " Poor-law Board, Whitehall. lam directed to state that the board have had the subject under their consideration, and are of opinion that the guardians have no power or autho rity which will enable them to remedy the evils referred to, except as arising under the statute 2d and 3d of Vic toria, c. 71, s. 41, or the Nuisances Removal Acts, 11th and 12th of Vict., c. 123, and 12th and 13th Vict., c. 111. The last of these statutes gives a remedy against the occupiers of any house which is duly certified to be in such a filthy and unwholesome condition that the health of the immediate neighbourhood is thereby affected or endangered ; but in cases where the occupiers of the premises are very poor, the re medy would, probably, be of very little avail to the g uardians. If, however, complaints are made to the guardians by two or more householders, or certificates laid before them by the medical or relieving officers as to the filthy and un wholesome condition of the premises, in conformity with the provisions of the two latter statutes, which admit of proceedings being taken against the owners as well as the occupiers, the board see no reason why a remedy may not be obtained, so far as to place the premises in a good state, by abating the nuisances referred to.—l am, &c„ COURTNEY, secretary. FURTHER DISCOVERIES OF GOLD IN SCOTLAND.—A few days ago it was s tated that a gentleman named Calvert had discovered gold in Westmoreland and Cumberland. It now appears that he has pursued his researches in Lanarkshire and Dumfriesshire, in both of which dis tricts he has been successful in finding gold. In the Vale of IVlenuich, at the Glendaran Burn, about four miles from Wanlock Head, he obtained a piece of gold weigh iLnegad4 d u w il t l s s . t hlet gold d s w r a O s U e g f h, a and of aehdaarraketceorl. It ourAt ap pearedetoslabes, generally diffused on the red soil resting on the lay slate chiefly running north and south, inter sected with quartz strings running in the same direction. Mr. Calvert found gold in about 14 burns - Or rivulets, mainly tributaries of the Elvin Water and Glengonnan. Some of the quartz looked at was a uriferous, and had a very fine gold disseminated through it. pilot she struck on the reef and lost her rudder, and i' e crew in charge ha(l to run her asiiore. She was titen condemned and sold. . The MariT of 1,114 tons, with guano, and bound from Lima to England, had foundered at sea. The crew were picked up, in about 41 deg. 4 min. south, by the Spanish barque Marie, bound to Malaga, and landed at Pernam buco on the 21st ult. The Swordfish and Crusader were loading for Liverpool at Pernambuco, and the Bonita and Rhonda at Mexico. The screw steam-ship Great Britain arrived at St. Vincent on the 24th ult., all well on board, in 12 days 18 hours. She sailed for Australia on the 27th, at 2 p.m. The General Screw Company's screw-ship Queen of the South, 12 days from Plymouth, arrived on the 28th ult., and sailed same day for the Cape and India, all well. Th e ro y a l ma il s t eamer Tay left St. Vincent on the 24th of August for the Brazils. The African screw-steamer Faith left Madeira on the 7th inst. The ship Bombay had completed her repairs at Rio, and commenced tak ing in her cargo of gold dust, &c., to sail for Lon don about the 25th of August. Her Majesty's ship Brisk, with Sir Henry Barclay on board, bound to Jamaica, arrived at Madeira on the Bth inst. Her Majesty's ship Centaur was at Monte Video. The Vixen and Locust were at Buenos Ayres ; the Express, Sharpshooter, and Crescent at Rio. Her Majesty's ship Tyne sailed on the 13th of August for England. The Star and Bo netta were on their passage from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Iberia, Captain R. Roberts, has arrived hero with the usual Peninsular mails, and dates from Gibraltar of the 4th, Cadiz the sth, Lisbon the 9th, Oporto and Vigo the 10th inst. The Iberia experienced much foggy weather on the coast of Spain and Portugal, and was detained thereby eight hours at Vigo. In the Bay of Biscay there was a very heavy sea from the south-west, with wind and much rain. She brings 59 pas sengers. On freight, three packages of specie, value 1,2851., 20 chests of lemons, 4,666 boxes, 1,090 half-boxes, and 226 quarter-boxes of lemons ; 453 boxes of grapes, 475 boxes of almonds, and sundry merchandise. On the 11th inst. the Iberia spoke a Peninsular and Oriental steamer off Vigo, and on. the 12th passed a large steamer steering southward. At Cadiz, on the sth inst., was the Spanish war steamer Isabel la Catolica,, to sail on the 7th inst. with the mails for Havannah. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin, Captain Scott, was passed in the Bay of Lisbon, below Belem, exercising her artillery, when the Great Western left. The exchange on London was 54f for three months, with little doing ; New Three per Cents., 43i to 44, with 2t per cent. discount upon Lisbon bank-notes. The Minister of Finance was endeavouring to raise a three months' loan of about 40,0001., at per cent. stock, to meet the Government railway deposit. The Lisbon letters state that recent intrigues against the Portuguese Cabinet had produced the result of bettering its position by the acquisition of M. Gredericon Guilherme da Silva Pereira, who had at last agreed to accept the portfolio of Justice, hitherto held conjointly with the Home Depart ment byM. Fonseca Magalhaens. The new Minister is reported as an upright judge and an honourable and independent man ; he is a brother of the late Count Das Antas, and was the last Juiz Conserva dor elected by the British residents at Lisbon. His joining the Legislature at this juncture implies the protest of an influential party against recent calumnies and unfair means, adopted to force M. Magalhaens to retire, and thus break up the Cabinet. The King and Queen had returned from Cintra to their town residence, and were preparing Belem Palace to receive the ex• Queen of the French. The Pope's Nuncio, De Pietro, was still danger ously ill at Lisbon. The accounts from Gibraltar have been anticipated by direct arrivals. THE FIRE AT MESSRS. SCOTT RUSSELL'S. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. But for the powerful assistance of the steam floating engine of the London brigade, which throws the enor- • mous quantity of five tons of water a minute at a consi derable elevation and distance, the ruins left by this disastrous conflagration would, at least, have kept burn ing a week or more. Such, however, was the over whelming character of the operations of the " float," that they were, at a comparatively early period, so far cooled as to admit of the surveyors of the several insurance offices interested examining the extent of the loss. The machinery, for the most part, may be said to be fatally damaged ; for what with important portions being fused by the intense heat, and others being shattered by the walls of the factory on both sides falling upon them, it is doubtful whether any of it can be worked up again witbout being remodelled and fitted. The surveyors de clare that, neither in the metropolis nor the provinces, had they ever witnessed such a destruction of machinery, the forming and erecting of which on the works are said to have cost nearly 100,000/. It has been ascertained that the valuable engines for one of her Majesty's steamers, and three sets for as many screw colliers, which were lying in the erecting shop completed, although much damaged, are not so extensively injured as to pre vent them being made available for service after under oing the necessary repair. The origin of the fire still engages the attention of the firm who have been at considerable pains to elicit the probable cause. Nothing, however, has been discovered of a satisfactory and definite cause. With a view of guarding against the ravages of the fire, the firm, it appears, caused sometime ago a reser voir tank to be erected on one of the erecting shops, with pipes laid over the whole establishment, so as to afford a supply of water at any point. The rapid pro gress of the fire, however, almost paralysed the men, and in their dismay and excitement they forgot all about the tank. The exertions of the Royal Marines and the labourers from Deptford Dockyard in working the floating engine from that establishment and otherwise assisting in check ing the flames, have elicited great praise. Nothing seemed to daunt them in their labours. The tide being down at the time they had to wade through the mud up to the works, rendered the most important services. So valuable was their assistance that the committee of di rectors, who have the management of the London fire brigade, have written to the captain superintendent of Deptford dockyard, acknowledging their prompt and efficient exertions on the occasion. THE CHOLERA. NEWCASTLE, Sept. 13.-86 new cases ; 37 deaths. The returns from Gateshead are incomplete ; but the account of the clerk to the guardians gives 44 as the total of deaths up to yesterday. A very general diarrhceal tendency prevails, and the druggists' shops and surgeries of the parochial medical officers are reported to be " besieged " with applicants for medicine to counteract looseness of the bowels. The boards of guardians are active, and have appointed extra medical assistants. The Poor-law inspector has been directed to proceed to Newcastle, to act in aid of the parochial authorities. Many of the cases are described as frightfully rapid. General instructions have been issued by the guardians, both at Newcastle and Gateshead, impressing on the public the importance of prompt attention to diarrhoea. Depots for the supply of medicine, free of charge, have been opened, and the assistance of senior medical stu dents has been secured, with a view to house-to-house visitation of the affected districts. • There is a general agreement among the medical practitioners that the epidemic is to be met and con trolled in the stage of premonitory diarrhoea, and that this is only to be done effectually by house-to -house visitation of the localities where that is most prevalent, and its progress checked. Much diarrhoea has been found. THE MAILS FOR THE CAPE AND CALCUTTA.—The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's ship Hy daspes, Captain Benson, sailed from Southampton yes terday afternoon for St. Vincent's, the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, St Helena, Ascension, Ceylon, Madras, and Calcutta, the mails for which places will be put on board at Plymouth to-day. The Hydaspes, since her recent voyage to India, has undergone a thorough over haul, and is now in a most efficient condition. She went out on an experimental trip on Saturday last, on which occasion four runs were made, at the measured mile in Stokes-bay. The average of these trials showed a result of 10'070 knots an hour, a rate of speed which must be considered most satisfactory, considering the very small proportionate auxiliary power, which amounts to only that of 300 horses to a ship of 1,850 tons. The Hydaspes got under weigh at her moorings at 4 o'clock, and moved down the river in beautiful style. She takes ou t about 80 passeng ers, a good general cargo of ma nufactured goods for the several ports, specie, value I 54,0001. sterling, and 550 bottles of quicksilver on freight. The next ship home from India and the Cape will be the Indiana, due at Plymouth on the 26th inst. The United States mail steam-ship Washington, E. M. Fitch, took her departure yesterday afternoon with the usual semi-weekly American mails for New York. The Washington has nearly 200 passengers and a large and valuable cargo of German, Continental, and British I merchandise on freight. The Washington, like all the s hips of this line, is filled to excess with both cargo and I passengers, and extra berths had to buil t on the upper deck to pro vide the necessar y accommodation. The United States brig of Mbar Dolphin, Lieutenant Berry man commanding, left Southamptom Water on (The day), to continue her deep ocean sounding operations and other scientific experiments in the Atlantic Ocean. While getting under weigh the Dolphin exchanged s autes with the platform - battery. The commander and officers during their stay at Southamptom have been hos pitably entertained by the mayor, Mr. Lankester, by Mr. Andrews, the ex-mayor, and by others of the lead ing authorities of the port. 54 6 4h 17 16 12 i i 29 30 68 4 50 50 xd 25 74i 5 3i 4 46 5 122 i 1041 80 791 82 1 a d I 25 pm x_d St, 66f6 8i 9i 13i 13 1 i i 96 4 i 5 101 100 k 3§ 12 i 7898 19k 20 58i 87i 9 Ii 1 x i 4O St. x d 25 5 id I 3 26 76i I 31 36i 9 8 9 50 15 1 30 a 1 1 62i 11 ad 34 ad I 40 50 id I 20 x d 1 50 2 74 5 d 8A 26p 62 4 g 11 i 4 4 i 7i 5i 100 20 10 50 100 20/ i 1201 20 105 154 I i yid 6A 31 11 33 3i 261 i i 5a 35a 6i 6 5i 81i 2A 147 6 I in BRAZIL AND RIVER PLATE SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Great Western, Cap tain Onslow, has arrived off this port, with the usual Brazil and River Plate Mails, and dates from Buenos Ayres, August 2 ; Monte Video, August 8 ; Rio de Janeiro, August 15 ; Bahia, August 20 ; Pernambuco, August 23 ; St. Vincent, Sept. 1; Teneriffe, Sept. 4 ; Madeira, Sept. 8 ; and Lis bon, Sept. 10. The Great Western was delayed two days in Rio on account of the non-arrival of the Prince s t e amer from Monte Video, that vessel having ex perienced a difficulty in getting coals. The Great Western brings 100 passengers, among whom are Mr. Cowper, the British Consul at Pernambuco, and General Lopez and suite, from Paraguay. The General comes on a 's a diplo nd m atic mission to the Court of St. James some of the other Powers of Europe. On freight this steamer brings—specie, value 1,0001. ; diamonds, value 10,000/. ; 65 bags cochi neal • 400 boxes grapes, oranges, and lemons ; 200 barrels of tapioca, and sundry merchandise. From the River Plate our accounts are of con siderable importance. The civil war in Buenos Ayres terminated on the night of the 13th July. General Urquiza took refuge on board a North American steamer, and a few of the more compro mised fled inland ; and on the morning of the 14th their joint forces threw down their arms and dis persed in all directions. The province of Buenos Ayres was entirely tranquil. General Urquiza had returned to Entre Rios, but of his movements and the doings of his Con stituent Congress at Santa Fe nothing was known. It is likely that all the provinces of the Republic may speedily come to an understanding, and that ' there will be no war. Business began to revive in Buenos Ayres, and, as a proof of restored confi dence, doubloons had lowored from 380 to 300 cur rent dollars each. News from Monte Video was extremely unfavour able. On the 18th of July a party collision took place, in which some dozen lives were sacrificed, and a partial change of the Ministry forced on the President. Oribe had fled to the country, and fears of a civil war have not yet subsided. Busi ness in that quarter is entirely suspended. From Rio de Janeiro we have accounts to the 15th ult. The money-market had greatly im proved. Discount ruled from 9 to 10 per cent. The shareholders of the Commercial Bank had agreed to join the New National Bank, the laws and regulations of which were being framed and discussed by the directors of both banks, conjointly with the Minister of Finance. It was supposed the establishment would be installed and com mence operations before the close of the year. Exchange on Lo ndon, after re ceding to 29, closed at 28. The total transactions were estimated at 210,0001. on London , 760,000 f. on France, a n d 230,000 mares banco on Hamburg. In coffee prices had advanced considerably, but subsequently a calm in the market ensued, and continued up to the sailing of the Great Western ; the shipment of the month 28,069 bag s . Stocks continued flat, with limited sales of Six per Cents. at 101 to 102. Arrivals of sugar unimportant. In freights vessels were abundant, and quota tions nominal. Bahia accounts of the 18th ult. quoted the closing rate of exchawre 28 1. Freights.-455. offered, 50s. dem an d ed. In exports there was but little alteration. Br own sugars were in brisk demand. In cotton there were no arrivals. Coffee.—None in the market. Imports.—No transactions of importance. From Pernambuco, under date the 22d ult., we learn that the arrivals of su g ar had been very in significant ; the crop was at an end, and had proved to be the largest for many years, as it amounted to 63,183 tons. The next crop will not be so large, owing to want of rain and other causes. The demand for cotton had been active at firm prices ' • quo t a ti o ns for freight were nomi na l a t 35 5 . to the Channel, and 455. from Maceio. Exchange closed at 23, at which about 80,0001. was done, the Government taking 4,0001. Discount, 10 per cent. The steamer Argentina arrived at Pernambuco on the 19th ult., and left the following day for Bahia. The schooner Little Pet sailed from Pernambuco for Leith on the Ist of August, and when out a few days she was abandoned by the captain and crew, as leaky • they returned to port in their boats. On the 9th the schooner was brought in by an Ameri can ship, who had fallen in with her. Upon at tempting to bring her into the harbour without a .• . r
