PFILUMATIC DINPAIVIL —Yesterday the entire
road traffic between Chancery-lase and the to:. Gray's-
inn-lane was stopped and diverted round by I: 04's-ro.id and
Hatton-garden on the one hand, sod Chat ert-l.inc and
Castle-street, liolborn, on the other, to enable the contrac-
tors and their workmen to excavate the roadway for the
laving down of the pneumatic tubes, in continuation of the
line front Euston-square. The operations for this purpJse
are being carried on day and night, with a view to the pro.
posed completion of tie line and its o:ening fog

be carried forward with as much rapidity as possible, so that

THE WEATHER ON THE TY:CR.—The Mena, Leith
and London steamship, put into the Tyne yesterday after.
noon between 3 and 4 o'clock through strew of weather,
She sailed from Leith on Saturday night, but had to put
beck under the shelter of the land on Sunday night. She
left the roadstead yesterday morning about 4 o'clock. In
passing the Fero Islands the vessel shipped several nts.
which nearly Cie! the cabin, endaugereil the ship, and
greatly alarmed the passeogers. She is all right, however,
and passengers and cargo are safe. She had on board sol-
diers belonging to the Hoots Grays, the and 14th
Regiments. Tiny have landed at Shields, sod will probable
proceed to the south by railway. Some sailing vestiels and
• large steamer likes troopship have come into Shields.
COTTON ON THE PARA NA.—A newspaper from
rtrana states that within a few leagues of that city there
were planted in 1863 shout thirty acres of cotton, and that
is 1864 there were planted move than three hundred acne.
The product of 1864 is intimated at 3.200 pounds. From
this it appears that this year's product must only be an
introduetioo to the future wealth in cotton, for the same
district planted in 1864 over 3,•.100 pounds of seed. It is
planted to hills two yards apart, with two or three seeds
in a hill. Most of the plantation are on the banks of the
Yarns River, where embarkation would be a very trifling
espouse.
