WEST COAST OF . AFRICA.

By the African Steam Navigation Company's mail packet
Gambia, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, we have
intelligence from Lagos to Oct. 12; Accra, 14; Cape Coast,
15 ; Liberia, 19 ; Sierra Leone, 23; Bathurst, 27; Goree, 28 ;
Teneriffe, Nov. 2 ; and Madeira, Nov. 4. The Gambia
brought 1;683 oz. of gold-dust. Fernando Po, Old Calabar,
and Bonny were healthy. Some sickness prevailed at Lagos
and Accra, where trade was dull, owing to the close of the oil
season. Local disputes had suspended the commerce of
Cameroons and Old Calabar. There was nothing doing at
Cape Coast, where the Ashantees are reported to be preparing
to attack the colony. The chiefs of Malagheah are returning
the soldiers taken prisoners by them in the June attack.
Her Majesty's ship Antelope left Fernando Po on the 3rd
of October for the squadron on the south coast. Commodore
Adams, in the Scourge, was cruising off Loando. The Minx
sailed from Fernando Po on the 6th of October for Old
Calabar and Cameroons with Governor Lynslager, to inquire
into the differences which had arisen between the traders and
the natives, and which did not present any great difficulties.
Previous to the return of the Gambia, intelligence had been
received otthe
,complete success of the visit of the Governor,
who had returned from the Bonny River with the two chiefs
and a few domestic slaves, who were the principal cause of the
contention.
The New-Era, published at Sierra Leone on the 20th of
October, says :—" We regret to learn that the crews of the
English vessels that loaded in the Mellicoure and other rivers
this season have suffered severely from fever. The Arab lost
eight men, and the lives of the remainder were only saved by
their being sent to town in the early stage- of the disease.
The Menapia also lost the master and four hands; and we are

MERCHANT SHIPPING.—At Cameroons, the Arab for Bris-
tol, Guildford and Lydia for Liverpool, waiting cargoes; at Old
Calabar, Sarah, Africa, Hunts, Thornhill, Calabar, Mary
Winch, Lady Head, Ellen Stuart, Mars, all Liverpool
ships ; at Bonny, Magnolia, Fanny, Custos, Fremont, Feroze-
pore, Belle, Crown, Sea, Martha, Charles Horsfall, Bombay
packet, all of Liverpool, waiting cargoes ; at Lagos, Pomona,
Water Lily, and three foreign ships ; at Sierra Leone, British
Empire, Hope, Aurora, Perseverant, and Benare, and the
French steamer Diane, Commander Chevalier, from Goree
and Bissao, for the purpose of obtaining African emigrants for
the French colonies in the West Indies ; at Bathurst, the
Albert, for Marseilles ; at Goree a number of vessels in har-
bour. The settlement had been sickly.

SWEDEN.—General Canrobert arrived at Stockholm on
Monday. He was received with the utmost enthusiasm by
the entire population.
ITALY.—A Naples despatch of Oct. 30, says :—" There is no
longer any doubt concerning the existence of a revolutionary
movement in Sicily. Some men have been taken by the
royal troops and shot. It is difficult to get any details. It is
said that arrests have taken place at Palermo. The authori-
ties here say the Sicilian movement is not political, but occa-
sioned by cholera and poverty. This remains to be seen."
Letters of the 31st contain no reference to this insurrectionary
movement.
AUSTRIA..—A Vienna dispatch of Wednesday is as follows :
—" The Archduke Maximilian, Chief of the Naval Depart-
ment, was driving this morning in Trieste, when the horses
took fright and ran away. The Archduke jumped out of the
carriage, and falling on his head, injured his skull. His Im-
perial Highness is in danger, and the Emperor, his brother,
has just left this city for Trieste."—The Russian Ambassador,
Prince Gortschakoff, has had several interviews with Count
Buol during the last few days. His excellency the Inter-
nuncio, Baron Prokesch, will leave by sea for Constantinople,
where he is expected to arrive in the beginning of December.
—lt is repeated that the Czar has recently made confidential
communications to Prussia and Austria of his hearty wishes
for a renewal of negotiation. The Emperor of Austria is
related to have expressed himself in the same sense to the
Pope's Nuncio at a very recent interview. M. de Bourqueney
has returned to Vienna, furnished, it is said, with fresh
instructions to meet the contingency of propositions from
Russia.
The Wanderer of Vienna says :—" We learn from good au-
thority that the Austrian government is having a line-of-battle
ship of 120 guns built in America, and that three others will
be afterwards built on her lines in the building yards of Pola."
RussiA.—A new conscription is ordered for Poland inde-
pendently of that for the whole empire appointed in the recent
manifesto. The conscription will take place in December.—
A letter from St. Petersburg in the Hamburg News says :
"The new recruitment has thrown the country into great
terror. It is doubted whether 400,000 men capable of service
can be found. The towns and districts furnishing the recruits
will be obliged to provide them with fur cloaks, which is a
heavy burden, owing to the present high price of furs."
GREECE.—Private letters from Athens, of the 31st ult., are
rather satisfactory so far as political affairs are concerned.
They state that the government has charged with the repres-
sion of brigandage Major Zups, inspector of gendarmerie, an
officer whose energy and activity are well known, and of whom
it may be said (as one letter expresses it) that the right man
is in the right place. Various administrative measures have
been also adopted to establish and maintain internal order,
and the effects begin to be already felt. The Cabinet, at whose
head is M. Bulgaris, composed of men of integrity, promise to

neglect nothing to restore tranquillity to the country, and they
seem to occupy themselves with material ameliorations of
which the country stands so much in need, and by doing so
endeavour to merit the approbation of the Western Powers.
Mausurrus.—Advices from the Mauritius mention that
the sugar estates are in a high state of cultivation, and will pro-
duce 10,000 tons more than last crop. Prices being better, and
freights lower, it was calculated that the result to the colony
from the present crop will be highly favourable. The Com-
mercial Gazette observes':—The season has been favourable,
but it is rare that agriculture is free from one enemy or an-
other. There is a worm in the cane which is doing some des-
truction, and on a few particular estates there will be a reduc-
tion of 10, 15, and even 20 per cent. on the estimation; fears
are entertained that this insect will extend in different parts
of the colony. Notwithstanding, we see no reason to look with
any despondency on the future; the economy of manufacture
is greater than ever it was, there is no longer any doubt as to
our obtaining labour, and there is good reason to hope that
the European markets will be remunerative. The tariff
of discriminating duties on sugar in England is considered a
great grievance and an obstacle to improvement in manufacture.
A petition is about to be prepared, and there is good hope
entertained that these duties will be modified, as they now
afford protection to the British refiner to the detriment of the
colonial manufacturer."
Bisszrx.—An example of the intelligent spirit of the Go-
vernment of Brazil with regard to financial and commercial
affairs is furnished in recent advices, mentioning that in an
important case where they were large creditors of a suspended
English firm at Perambnco, on dishonoured bills of exchange
purchased for remittance to England, they have voluntarily
abandoned the position of privileged creditors, and agreed to
come in under the general estate. On the announcement of
the failure they had seized sufficient assets to cover their
claim, and the Prime Minister, having taken,the opinion of
the ambassadors in London and Paris, was informed that in
similar circumstances both Governments always demand a
preference and are first paid in full. He then submitted the
matter to the Treasury department, which was unanimous in
recommending that the right should be exercised. Ultimate-
ly, however in consequence of a petition from the leading mer-
chants of Rio, the case was brought before the Chambers, and
upon the report of a committee in favour of the more just and
liberal course, the Government at once released the property.
The grounds on which the committee arrived at their decision
were, that the purchase of bills of exchange by a Government
is a purely commercial transaction, which should be subject
only to the commercial code, and that great distrust would be
created against all firms known to be in the habit of selling
bills to the State, if it were to be understood that in case of
failure their assets would be liable to be swept away to meet
partial claims instead of being equally distributed. Ca
AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH RUSSIA.—The Russians
receive great supplies of arms and,ammunition from this part
of America, or from all New Kngland. They have bought
all the saltpetre that could be got hold of, through means of
agents, and this has had a great effect on our market: List
spring there was so much saltpetre on hand here that all the
places in the United States warehouses appropriate for its
stowage were filled to overflowing, and much of it had to be
stored where it was damaged, or in danger of being so. Now
not a bag of it can be had. It has all been taken on Russian
account, and shipped to Hamburg. This is not all. Powder
and arms have been sent to Russia in- immense' quantities. A
famous clipper-ship that sailed from New York " for San
Francisco and a market," some months sgo, took out nothing
but Hazard powder, Colt's pistols, and similar Connecticut
" notions," the " market" being the most convenient port in
which they can be landed for the Czar's use. A quantity of
powder is now being put up in such a way as to be mistaken for
logwood by careless examiners, and will be sent to Russia from
Portland. The intention is to get into the Baltic after the English
fleet shall have left it, it being supposed that there will be as
much time left for action then as there was gained by British
slowness last spring. If the Samuel Appleton,which vessel every
one here believes to have had arms and ammunition for her
cargo in part, could get in ahead of the English, it is not un-
reasonably inferred that there wiil be time enough for opera-
tions at the close of the season to admit of some dashing
skipper landing powder enough at Port Baltic to blow all
Europe to pieces, if it could only be used directly for that
purpose. The saltpetre that the Russians have bought here
all came from Calcutta, so that the English may have the
satisfaction of knowing that their dominions have supplied
the Czar with this most important material of war. Why did
not she shut down the gate a year ago ? By the steamer
which came out last week, I am told instructions were sent to
some of the principal British Consuls in America to inquire
into the matter. That is England all over; the mischief
being done, she proceeds to show how it could have been pre-
vented.—New York Herald.
THE LATE RIOTS IN INDIA.-With reference to the
account brought by a recent mail of a violent and almost fatal
attack made on Brigadier Colin Mackenzie, when the rioters
falling in with a clergyman and two ladies returning from an
evening drive, attacked them, and wounded one or both of

times. We took our drive all round the course ; met the
allowed a
Resident's carriage, and several others. All continued quiet
until we came to Brigadier Mackenzie's gate. From this gate
a great number of the Nizam Cavalry, called Jouars, in
undress, but with their swords and muskets, were issuing, and
the other side of the road was lined with soldiers from the
lines. To see these men in the public road is contrary to
orders ; they are not allowed to go out of a certain line
marked for their processions. However, we did not think
about it, but supposed they had only gone to make some
request of the Brigadier. R— walked the horse to give
the soldiers time to get out of the way and allow us to pass.
The first thing which attracted my attention was a man
dressed in a long red coat, giving their war-cry, and going
one step back and another forward. It resounded on all
sides. They then deliberately waited until the carriage was'
in the middle of the multitude, and then made a blow with a
sword at Mrs. C— (fortunately for us they were not
mounted, or I should not now be alive to tell the tale) ; it
cut her, but not deeply, in the side of the head. I said to
R—, ' Now drive for your life—it is our only chance." He
did so, and away went the horses at such a rate ! and cut and
dash went the swords and butt ends of the muskets. Most
providentially the musket were not loaded, having been dis-
charged in the Brigadier's compound before we came up.
They tried so hard to cut me over the back of the carriage
that I moved to a little seat under the box, facing Mrs. C. I
was afraid she would have fainted from loss of blood, as it ran
quickly from her head. Men waited for us down the road on
either side, with drawn swords and muskets to dash at us. One
of them cut R—'s coat down the back. The horses flew,
and the cut did not enter the flesh, owing to their speed.
Another man waited about three yards in advance of us, and
took deliberate aim with a sword. R— saw him, and, as he
came near, raised his arm to give another stroke to the horses,
and the sword passed under, cutting a quarter of an inch deep
into the iron bar round the seat. Another made an upward'
cut at him, and missed his aim, owing to our speed. The
sword came in contact with the dashboard in front, and tore
the leather off the right side. Miss C— was struck on the
back and had cuts in her silk cape, but was otherwise unhurt.
They also waited at my side of the carriage. A man made a
blow at me with the end of his musket, and hurt me not,a
little. Another attacked me with his sword; it cut right
through my clothes like a razor, and made a wound about three
tihnes inside
inches long, and one inch deep, exactly in the spot where .I had
received the blow. I did not feel it at the time, for the sword
was too sharp ; speed and the little iron bar round the seat
saved me. Fortunately for us, Captain M— and his wife
were driving after us, so that they turned back to attack
them. I should tell you they made a desperate effort to cut
the reins, but only succeeded in destroying the bearing reins.
AvsTRALIA.—By the Overland mail, via' Singapore, we have
Western Australia newspapers to the 31st August. The new
governor, Captain Kennedy, had been favourably received by
the colonists, and was commencing his duties by a system of
retrenchment in the Government expenditure. On examining
the financial state of the colony, he found a considerable deficit,
which he proposed to make up by imposing a tax on land in
the country, and a house tax in towns. The Legislature were
to meet on the 2nd of September, to reconsider the bill for
the revenue and expenditure for the ensuing year, and it was
reported that
the latter would most probably be reduced some
£6,000 or 0,000.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEWPOTYNDLAND.—By advices
from St. John, of the 20th of Oct., we learn that an awful fire
had broken out about seven p.m. on the previous Tuesday, and
raged till two a.m. next day, burning out: several hundred
fishermen's families—in all, about 1,100 tenements.
EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTOR.—For some time past there
has been seen a visitor, now in one, now in another of the
European capitals, the Prince Leo of Armenia. Leon, Prince
d'Armenie, krenseur de l'Eglise d' Orient, did not shrink
from his high destinies, but placed himself at once in relation
with crowned heads—with Queen Victoria among the number,
to whom personally he addressed a letter asking for the post
of A.D.C. to Prince Albert. His account of himself was, that
he was a descendant of the House of Lusignan, in Cyprus.
Prince Schahan, a son of Leo V., King of Lusignan-Ronhenien,
espoused the Princess Pinna, daughter of Leo VI., King of
Armenia ; Prince Leo was the descendant of this Schahan.
The Russian Czar, in the course of his southern conquests,
dispossessed him of his principality, and gave him in exchange
for it a paltry pension. As vouchers for his statements the
Prince brought with him to Europe a passport, written in a
character which nobody could understand, and a baptismal
certificate which labouredunder the same defect. London, Paris,
Constantinople, Turin, Frankfort, Brussels, Stuttgard, Berlin,
have been successively honoured by his presence. In London
the Armenian potentate offered in his own name, and as agent
for the Caucasian tribes, to conclude an alliance, offensive and
defensive, with the Cabinet of St. James's. A French paper asserts
that manifestoes from this illustrious Prince—among others a
declaration of war against Russia—appeared from time to time
in the London journals. The fellow was, however, obliged to
leave London in consequence of a judgment obtained against
him by a Mr. Mitchell, for criminal conversation with his wife.
In 1847, the Prince travelled through Aix-la-Chapelle, and
without stopping, passed on to Stuttgard, where he put up at
a first-rate hotel, and ordered everything suitable to his
princely rank ; he left, however, without paying his bill, and
went into private lodgings. Although provided only with a
forged passport, lie presented himself to the Russian Minister
at Stuttgard (Prince Gortschakoff, now at Vienna), and begged
for a gratuity from the Emperor of Russia, pretending to be
the descendant of a banished Armenian Prince ' • he was, how-
ever, not recognised as a Russian subject, and got no pecu-
niary assistance. Notice having been sent on to Stuttgard of
his having left debts behind him in Brussels, and as he was
not able to honour the draft drawn on him from that place, he
was ordered out of Stuttgard by the police ; he accordingly
departed for Baden-Baden, leaving the proprietor of his private
lodgings unpaid. In Baden-Baden he was, however, not to be
found. Since then, and within the last few weeks,-',he has
turned up at Berlin. He had taken lodgings in one of the
best streets in that city, and caused a royal escocheon to be
fixed up over his door. A silver star with a red enamelled
cross attached to it might have been seen on his princely
breast, his spurs were of gold, his riding-whip mounted with
gold. He was admitted into good society, and was constantly
at the Legations. The suspicions of the Prussian police were,
however, aroused by a trivial circumstance, and at last they
ripened into certainty. Leon, Prince d' Arme'nie, who has
humbugged Europe for the last ten years, turns out to be an
impostor—a swindler—and a Dutch Jew, and has been com-

fessor of Oriental history in that city.
