WEST INDIA MAILS.

The Royal West India mail packet Orinoco, Cap.
taro Sawyer, Admiralty agent Lieut. Charles Bolton,
R.N., arrived last evening at Southampton with the
West India mails. The Orinoco's dates of sailing
are as follow:—Panama, Sept. 23; Jamaica, 26th;
Demerars, 26th; Trinidad, 25th; Barbadoes, 27th;
Antigua, 28th; Porto Rico, 30th; Dominica, 28:h;
St. Thomas, Oct. 1.
The Orinoco brings 43 passengers, among whom
are—Major Bovine, 2nd West India Regiment, Lieut.
Morrell, RN., Senhor Blanco, Quillen navy, the
Misses King, Messrs. Preston, West, Connell, Black-
wood, Anneelq, Clarke, &c., ten naval invalids, two
distressed British subjects, and six children.

of 1,080,363 dollars.
The Jamaica papers lament the barrenness of
the times and the want of a governor. The Jamaica
Gazette of the 18th announces the appointments

lency has also issued a writ of supersedes,. removing
from the commission of the peace for the parish of
Hanover John D. Potts, Hag. The Hanover Society
of Arts and Industry had proved so successful and
beneficial that the adjoining parish had followed
the example by establishing a similar institution in
St. James. The sugar crop in moat of the leeward
parishes presents a very fair appearance. The rains
in Trelawny, Westmoreland, and Hanover, have
been continuous and abundant. The sea-side and the
estates to windward have also had a fair proportion
of rain, although several of them suffered greatly in
the early part of the season. On many properties
good crops, according to all appearances, may be
expected. In the Jamaica market sales were gene-
rally dull, and in freights nothing was doing.

EXTRAORDINAR r ROBBER?.

Late on Saturday night, or early on Sunday
morning, a won daring fel•+ny was committed at the Cam-
bridgesntre Lunatic Asylum works, at Fulbouru, about three
miles from Cambridge. Upon laying the corner stone of
this building on the 30th September lout, a give cylinder,
containing one of ',eh of the current coins of the realm,
with a vellum enroll. on which was written the names"( the

committee of ♦isitors and deers, was placed in a receptacle
hollowed out of a large stems, upon which the corner stone,
bearing au appropriate inscription, and weighing at least
half a too, was placid; this was also secured by the brick-
work and twasoary surrounding sod built over if. The
whole remain( d sate till Saturday last. On Sunday nitro-
inn, however, it was discovered that two courses of the brick-
work above the owner stove had been removed, and supports
placid to shore up the remainder. supporting clear t f the
stone at least seven or eight tone weight; the c valor atone
was forcibly lifted out of its place by (dole leverage. Brick.
work wasthea placed under it, so that a man's hand and

arm might be got into the receptacle of tte lower
stone coutainiog the etitle, and which, upon inspection,
were found to have been abstracted. From the
skilful manner in which this mo.t extraordinary and
impudent robbery was planned sod executed there is co
doubt that the perpetrators were parties well acquainted,
not only with the -n of the cylinder containing the
coins, but also with brickwork and masonry. The wonder
Is that the robbers were not crushed by the tall of the heavy
mass of brickwork above toe stone, ea the shores put in by
them a' supports, to enable them to remove the mime cf
brick. were not strong enough to support the weight, end
oonrequently the buttreu parted from the portion of the
main wall to w►ich it was attached, to the extent of an inch.
Notwithstanding the labour and toil which the pesp-trstors
of this daring robbery hid to undergo, it I. gratifying tr
know that they hairs been disappointed in the amount of
booty which they expected to bud, the vales of the coins
being only IL 1.. Bd. A reward of 201. has been offered for
the apprehension of the parties, and in tormaion givon to the

SERIOUS AFFAIR AT MADAGASCAR.

An outrage, which the government of Madagascar
will doubtless be called upon to expiate dearly, has
been committed at Madagascar. We find the facto
thus stated in the Certucen, a French journal of the
island of Mauritius:

Bight Frenchmen, one of them N. d'Arvoy, formerly
French tonna in the Mauritius, who had been residing
almost a year in the Bay of Vavatonbe, working a coal
mine belonging to a coropeny, and a great number of Baca.
laves in their service, were attacked in the night of the 19th
of October by from 1,500 to 2,000 Hour, the regular troops
of the Queen of Madsgaecsr, and, with the exception of one
Frenchman, were harbatoce4 murdered and mutilated.
The establishment which they occupied was sacked, and
100 workmen, who had unapt d the massacre, were, together
with the Frenchman, made prisoners, sad carried off to
•Emyrne. Five pieces of cannon,. quantity of muskets, and
some geniptwder were espturcd by the suailanta. The ma.
teed damage done smog, ted to between 70,000 and 80,000
piastres (350,000 f. to 400,000 L). The Queen of Madam.
car, Rusavalo, on receiving this news of the massage and
rapture, assembled the people of her capital, and had read
to them the deeps' ch of the general who cimmanded the
expedition, after which she caused /even guts to be fired in
honour of what she called the 'ivory gained by her invin.
tibia troops over the French.

The Bay of Vavatoube and all the north-west part
of Madagascar is represented by the Ceram to be
French territory—it belongs to France not • only in
virtue of her ancient claims on Madagascar, but in
virtue of a recent concession of the ex-King of Need
Be, who held it de facto. Moreover, a fort which
formed part of the establishment destroyed was built
with the sanction of the French government and
under a promise of its protection, and two of the
' five guns captured were supplied by the French fri-
gate Brigs,.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Ot-r. 9.
The government considers the Conmedet ea being
in force.

The recruiting operations are going on tranquilly
throughout the kingdom.
Marshal Nervier., who arrived on the sth, went,
after two hours' stay in an hotel, to visit the Mi-
nister of War, and afterwards went to the palace
to present his homage to the Queen and the King.
The Queen, though slightly indisposed," says the
Spew, " received him with her ordinary affability,
and his conference with her Majesty was highly
satisfactory,as wu also that with Marshal O'Donnell."
The accouchement of the Duchess de Montpensier is
expected at the beginning of November.
There is • repoet that Eapartcro intends, on the
raising of the state of siege, to publish a manifesto on
the events which led to his downfall from power ; but
according to other accounts, he means simply to pre-
eent himself as a candidate for his native prov;nce of
Logrono in the elections for the new Cortes.

The Swiss federal government, after having oon-
salted the superior executive government of the can-
ton of Neufchatel, has decided that the military oc-
cupation of that canton, restricted to two battalion.
of infantry, shall continue until the termination of
the trial of the insurgent. of the 3rd of September.
The preliminary examinations are being urged on
with great activity. The Vaudois battalion now in
Neufchatel will be replaced by one from Berne.
According to the Harnburgh News Prussia has
satisfied herself of the anent of several German go-
vernments to her project of submitting the question
of Neufchatel to the Germanic Diet.

Decker, has addressed &dotter to the Heads of the
Universities of Gond and Lif.ge, in which he enjoins
the Prams= to abstain from all direct attacks
against the essential principles of the religions
professed in Belgium. He observes that it
is not necessary that the Professors should
treat irritating and controverted question in
their lectures, but that if ever they are led to
deal with such delicate matter', it should be
done with reserve. The Minister observes, in the
course of his letter, that he is bound to take are that
the teaching of the universities shall be such as may
gain the confidence of families, and he repeatedly
declares that he will discharge his duty with firm-
ness.

THE AFFAIRS OF NAPLES.

A letter from Vienna of the 6th, in the Weser
Gantt., says :—w We are informed, on good autho•
rity, that Baron de Bourqueney delivered, the day
before yesterday, another note to Count Buol, rela-
tive to the affair of Naples. This note, it is said,
was received with great satisfaction, because it de-
clares that France is disposed to consent that the
Neapolitan dispute should be settled by the oonfe-
renew' which are to be opened in Paris. No declara-
tion of the kind has yet been received from England,
but there is no doubt but that it will soon arrive."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

HE AMP...IANS IN THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Potris has a leading article expressing ea.
prise at the prolonged occupation of the Principali-
ties by Austria, which it characterises, as indeed it
is, u a manifest violation of the treaty of Paris; fce
that treaty stipulates that the parties to it should
evacuate the territories occupied during the war "u
scan as possible after the exchange of the ratlike-
tions," and it is now five months since the ratifica-
tions were exchanged, and it is more than two months
since France and England withdrew their large
armies and the whole of their immense ma tegriei from
the Crimea. The Poly* thinks it probable that
Austria remains in the Principalities with the con-
nivance of the Porte, in order to txercise a pressure
against the manifestation of an opinion of the popula-

tion in favour of an union of Moldavia and Walla-
°hie. Of course a French government journal,which
may be called upon to-morrow to say the contrary of
what it says today, cannot be expected to give a
straightforward opinion upon any subject whatever,
and accordingly the Paths says that although the
conduct of Austria looks suspicious, it is far from
saying that the suspicion is well founded. Nevertheless
it says enough to show which way the diplomatic wind
is blowing for the moment. France and England
cannot, it says, remain indifferent, and although,
"no doubt," Austria has no other object than to see
to the strict execution of the treaty of Paris,
" although the surveillance of this treaty is no basi-
nsss of hers, it would be strange, indeed, if she were
to pretead to enforce the strict observance of the
treaty by violating herself ooe of its plainest clauses."

THE AUSTRIANS IN ROMAONA.

TO TNT "MOT OP TUB RIFTS'/.

But,—When at the Paris Congress mention was
made of the painful state of affairs in Italy, you sod
the English press spoke in favour of that unhappy
country; and you did the same in the name of
humanity on the occasion of my flight from the castle
of Mantue. Tendering you my sincere thanks, I at,
the same time beg you will bring under the notice of
the public the persecutions and cruelties committed
every day by the Austrians on individuals that are
not Austrian subjects, end in a country where Austria
I hes no right to be, via., the Papal States, governed
for the last seven years by three masters—the Pope,
the Emperor of Austria, and the Emperor of the
French.

The letters which I receive from my friends are
full of accounts of the arbitrary acts daily committed
by those powers on the population of that unfortn.
nate country. The following is what they write
to me from Romagna, one of the most enlightened
provinces of Italy :
On the night of the 3rd of January, 18.55, Count
Pasolini, a young man of 30, wse arrested at Ceaena.
The soldiers entered his palace through a window,
which they burst open with axes, and on the same
night he was conducted to Bologna, and lodged in the
prim of St. Agnes', when for several months he
Isis not permitted to have any books, or light. His
Mother, who is the sister of a gentleman holding a
I thigh appointment under the Austrian government,
I mold only with difficulty obtain permission to
nide her son a year after his confinement. He bail
maw been in gaol 21 months; his health is gone,
he having bad two serious illnesses during this time;
I and he has not yet undergone any examination,
nor has he been told the reason of his being arrested.
A similar incident occurred in that town on the 27th
of the same month, when the gens-d'armes entered
the Excise.offioe, arrested Artidoro Bausechi, one of
the clerks, whom they took at once to Bologna, where
Is is still languishing in a dungeon.
On the 15th of January, 1855, the Austrians
arrested at Bologna Alessandro Ceategnoli, a student
M that university, and bastonaded him twice, with
sewers' other students.
In the present year they arrested Baratelli, a
erchant; Susi, a silversmith; Talentoni, an inde.
pendent gentleman; and Tamburini, a Post.office
sink. They endeavoured also to arrest at Cesena
the brothers Finali, one an advocate and the other a
surgeon; also Monaresi' di Poggi, and Volzania,
landowners, but they alleucceeded in escaping into

capital required in Frans for public works,.
especially railways, into Ives an important and
constant drain. As soon as the market shows symp-
tains of reviving confident*, we witnem the appear-
mu of the Rastern of Francs Railway Company as
a borrower, under the direct authorisation of the
Minister of Public Works, to the amount of upwards
of 1,300,0001. sterling. The Western of Frump Railway
Company is merely awaiting a favour able opportunity
for announcing an operation on a similar male of mag-
nitude; and the report rem ntly issued by M. Rotraza
proves that the demand for railway purposes will con-
tinue large throughout the year 1867. Moreover,
the last State loan will not be fully paid up until Feb-
ruary and the engagements of French capitalists in
Autris, Spaio, and other quarters, are very large. As
some of their engagements expire, others are freely
embarked in : thus the most recent advice. from
Madrid announce that M. Mims and the financial
party with which he is allied, have undertaken to
supply the Spanish Government with no lees than
three millions in cuh. These details are of interest be-

MAN the Punch money market usually exercises an
important influence upon our own. Considering the
extent of thedemands upon Frame, in the liquidationot
which we shall be called upon to 'edit her with our
capital ; and looking also at the requirements of
other states, including Turkey and Russia ; there is
no encouragement whatever for the belief that foto
rates of money will be attained here. As soon as
' the value of money in our market descends to a mode-
rate level the foreigner will be very anxious to relieve
us of a portion of our surplus. The number of new
projects ready to be launched as soon as the market
resumes a promising aspect is something wonderful ;
and this feet should induce the public to exercise
greet discrimination and auction. Bat of the various

;fiancee which, though insufficient to prevent a
reduction of our recent high rates of discount, will
tend to support them at a pretty high level, one
of the most powerful is the demand for silver for the
East. Despite occasional checks, the efflux has coa-
-1 tinned at an unusually rapid rate throughout the
year, and at the present moment the buyers on
Indian account are as ready to absorb silver as ever.
So long as the outflow of silver conti•uss thus
heavy, necessitating the transmission of gold to the
Continent in payment, we must expect moderately
high rates of discount. Six per cent., however, is an
•nuenally high figure for this market, and • reduc-
tion may be anticipated at &nearly date.
