THE CAPE MAILS.—The I'ropontis, new screw
steam vessel, is hourly expected at Plymouth with mails
from the Cape of Gaud Hope, &c. The Iluspherous, Cap-
tain J. V. Hall, arrived in Plymouth on Sunday morning,
from London, preparatory to her sailing with the mails for
St. Helena, Sierra Leone, and the Cape of Good Hope.
The Ilospherous was about 35 hours running from black-
wall to Plymouth. Her coal was commenced to lie put on
board immediately alter her arrival, and she will sail on
Tuesday the lsth. Nearly all the herbs in the BoAphicous
are taken up. Some of the passengers joined her at Lon-
don, but the major part will du so at Plymouth. She is a
very ting vessel, and her fittings and arrangements arc well
adopted to secure the comfort of passengers.

SEA VERMIN ItAILWAY.—The committee of ship-
owners of the port of Sunderland have memorialised tho
Board of Trade to impose some greater restriction than at
present exists on the Great Northern Railway, in the con-
veyacce of coal to the London markets, which, if permitted
to continue, will have a serious effect upon the shipping
interest of the coal trade, and destroy that nursery for Bri-
tish seamen which was to be found in the colliers. The

Commissioners of the Board of Trade have expressed their
inability to interfere in this particular instance, urging that
the suNeet was applicable to all railways, and that they
would direct their attention to the grievance in any future
