TUE AMAZON WEST INDIA ROYAL MAIL STEAM
PACKIST started yesterday on a further trial down the river,
but after proceeding about five miles below Gravesend, the ,
fog became so thick that it was considered advisable to drop
her anchor. The trial of her speed between the Nore and
Mouse lights is consequently deferred until Saturday. I
The vessel has been surveyed and considered capable of car-
rying ! ,
fourteen 32-pounders anti two 10-inch pivot guns, the
latter of fld cwt. each, on her main-deck. Her coal buses
are constructed to carry 1,000 tons of coals, or upwards of
161 days' consumption, at the rate of 2i tons per hour for
hei 26 furnaces.
PIRATICAL CONDCCT OF VESSELS IN TILE
vettuaNzam.--Captain E,nbleton, of the British barque
Juliana, arrived, has written the following note to the Slap-
' piray Gazette, dated Barcelona, Dee. 2, Nil Having
been very much annoyed with a small vessel which mine
from among the islands of Colunabretas, end which could
have had no other intention than to rob us, I would desire
you to report that the Juliana was all but Marled by the ,
!above vessel, under the pretence of wanting water ; and ,
bail we not have seen such a number of men, cad other un- ,
mistakable signs of piratical intentions, we should have
been boarded and robbed ; fortunately we saw it in time ;
and having our swivels standing prominently, we got clear
of him. One of our crew told me that, twelve months
ago, a vessel that lie was then in was boarded, and they
were obli.ted to ;rise them rope, provisions, clothes, coals, `,
and in fact everything they desired, which is very grievous.
Could the same message not be sent to the government of I
Spain as was sent to Morocco.—P.S. Vessels ought to be
cautious whom they allow to come alongside."
STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH THE CAPE AND
AC4TRALIA.—It was understood in the City yesterday that

Good Hope, at an annual payment of 26,0001. The ports to
