WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

The Tasmanian, with the West India mails, arrived
at Southampton yesterday. Her dates were: De-
merara Oct. 25 ; Jamaica, 27th ; St. Thomas, list.
Amongst her cargo was gold worth 55,1081. ster-
ling, and silver worth 71,6591. sterling. Her
Majesty's ship Indus was at Raid's, the Imaum and
Skipjack were at Jamaica, the Arachne was at St.
Domingo, the Atalanta was at Antigua, the Valorous
was at Greytown, the Racer was at Carthagena, the
Gl►diator was also at Halifax with yellow fever on
board. The United States frigate Roanoake left
Colon Oct. 18 in search of Walker, who was reported
to have left New Orleans in his steamer Fashion.

There was no hope of getting off the Paramatta.
The delay of the fumaniau was occasioned by her
having to put into Bermuda for repairs in cotuie-
queue of her having apt nog a leak.
There had been 61 cases of yellow fever on board
the Tasmanian, 11 of which had been fatal ; six of the
latter happened after she left Bt. Toomu: The last
ease was on the 9th inst. The following are the
names of those who died, viz. :—John Daum. French
waiter; John NPLellao, waiter; Thomas Nesmith,
William Franklin, A. 8.; Richard Short, waiter;
Henry Shrimpton, master at arms ; Thomas Phelan,
stoker; William Fitzell, fireman ; Thomu Treleaven,
quartermaster; William Margon, private 41st Regt. ;
and James Varndell, invalided from the 'feviot.
Four men named Busby, Clapperton, Eldridge, and
Stiles, belonging to the La Plata, were left in the
hospital at St. Thomas, ill with yellow fever.
Busby died, but the other three recovered.
The West India Islands, generally, were healthy,
although the weather had been unusually hot.
The most important news from Chili is the assassi-
nation of General Yid:Lure Leal, Intendente of
Valparaiso. This event took place on the 18th of
Sept., the anniversary of Cailun Independence. It
appears that during the celebration of a high mass
in the principal church, at which the General and an
immense concourse of citizens were present, some of
the populace attempted to possess themselves of the
arms of the National Guard, who were drawn out
in the square in front of the church. A riot ensued,
shots were fired, and the General left the church for
the purpose of restoring order; "but scaroely" says
the Mercurio, "did he descend the steps in front of
the church than he tell mortally wounded by one of
the insurgent's balls."

RIMER OF M. MAZZINI TO BARON RICASOLI.

The following is a copy of e letter which M.
Mazzini hen addrewsd to Beron Ricesoli :

of Central Italy; and that the aocepution since the treaty

done to prevent It--a very manta thing to happen with
volunteers from Ombria, the March of Anemia, sad Venice,
who fight with inthmissm, if, instead of being soldiers of
Parms and Bologna, they were fiehting for their own rights.
Revolution which does not press forward the muse, can only

remain steadiest with the hope of promotion—by
keeping them unemployed they will ferment—they do fee-

order to be able to cry out to Europe—Behold I
The election of Garibaldi as active chief would be accepted
with entlumlaton, and if that activity so universally desired
be withheld much longer, it will give, as you well know
fresh cams of discontent to the regular militia. Before the
retaking of Perugia, Rome herself, compelled at present to
remain quiet, will rise--the soldier. formiag the outposto of
the Pontifical army will join our columns—and between
Perugia and the Abreast there is nothing to mist us. Bight
or ten thousand men with the name of Garibaldi, and the
movement in Sicily, which has ken prepared for a long time,
and ready for explosion at a moments notice, would become
the insurrection of the whole oate. The ingot rection of the

self a war with the whole of Europe—Germany, Ruse*
England.
These things I should have told you, and ell men who
have been chosen to rule the country, it, Instead of treating
us like enemies and forcing us to abandon our country,
you had been lod to look upon us as men who love Italy,
and for the last thirty year@ have been endeavouring to
educes her In those sentiments of unity without which
she will be lost ono more.
The proposition I now make may be considered as impru-
dent, but cannot be considered guilty. I h►ve sought no
other aim than unity. It is for this alone that I have fought
so long. I have alarm been, and ever shell be, unitarian in
principle before anything. Those who know me may re-
proach me with many faults, but will acknowledge that my
soul is too proud to stoop to falsehood.
I speak not for myself when I say that the persecution of
exiles is a shame and reproach to Tunny, end will injure
the canoe beyond all reparation. Those exiles have Assn
since Villafrance, for the bole purpose not of disturbing the
internal government of the country. which they admire,
end which is necessary to ensure its respectability in the
eyes of Europe, but merely in the hope of beholding an equal
energy imparted to the external relailons of the government,
for lem sore that the restoration will be tried, and our teak
is to prevent it, without any foreign or forced and imposed
help. Great numbers of volunteers have enlisted, wore
would do so were it not for the persecutions to which they
are subjected.
I have felt the necessity of telling you these things and of
exposing to you the feelings of the man who loves Italy end
national union better than his life.—Believe me. signor,
yours obliged, 011:11/PPI kfarznl,

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTER!!
RAILWAY.—BAISINOSTOXII/2 WEDIMIDAT.—An accident of
a very alarming character occurred yesterday at mid-de ,at
the Flestpond station of the London and South Western Reil-
way, a taw miles distant from this place. It appears that the
II e.in express train left the Waterloo Terminus at its fixed
time, and prsocrided with safety, aotwithstanding the density
of the fog whisk prevaLed, until within a few miles of he
find stoppsgs—Basinptoke—where it was doe at 12.16.
The Flesepond station is a vary small one, and the officislit
there having a goods train in charge proceeded to shoat it,
in order to allow the exposes trios to pass. To !invent say
accident the usual ' s were displayed at the station, sad
by the goods train ;but It appears that owing to the fog or
some other cense, the driver of the express train could s.*
tee them, nor were the parties at the station aware of the
approach of that train; for without any warning the exprese
rushed past the station at a rapid rate, and ran into the back
portion of the goods train. The collision was fearful,
and it is surprising that the lives of a large number of persons
were not sacrificed. The locomotive belonging to the repeal
train wasbrokeo to pieces. The tender and games van of the ex•
press train were *leo destroyed, as were likewise anumber of the
tracks belonging to the goods train. The shrieks of the
passengers were shocking, and it was feared at first that
several were lolled ; u soon, however, as the lint shock
was over an investigation WY made, end it was found that
although the passengers had twined • terrible shaking, and
wavered were more or leas bruised, no lon of life had occurred.
It 4e. a matter of supine bow the diver and stoker of the
train escaped with their Ilea, considering that the engine
was destroyed, but ft is supposed that on seeing the imml.
nent danger they were in they must have thrown themeelvee
down, and thus escaped injury. Some of the trucks of the
goods train were heavily laden with timber, the weight of
which materially veined to check the impetus of the ex-
peer train, and thus prevented much further mischief. In-
formation of the catastrophe was at once forwarded to Mr.
Wm. Waltham Young, the superintendent of the Waterloo
'pulps, and a number of men were immediately despatched to
render what assistance they could, but the line bad been cleared
before their arrival, so that the traffic was not impeded.
FATAL RAILWAY AMlDENTS.—Yeaterday morn.
fog between fire and an o'clock, during the prevalence of s
dense fog, a lamentable sad fatal accident occurred on the
London and North Western Railway, at Camden Town. A
goods train had just arrived in, and a portion of it had to be
Amsted on to another line near the Chalk Faint bridge. A
man named John Forester, aged 36, in the employ of the
company, ss porter and shunter, was in the act of unbookieg
one of the carriaem for the purpose of shunting when the
train was in snot ion; a sudden and additional impetus to the
train, it is believed, caused him to slip, and he fell under the
carriages on to ores of the rails. The whole of the rest of the
train pared over him, and he we. found with one arm and
ono leg completely severed from his body, and others le
dreadfully mutilated. He was conveyed to University Col-
legs Hospital, but died shortly after admission. The deceand
ham left a widow and four children. Yesterday morning
David Lynford, aged 20 years, was run over by • train on the
Greenwich Railway, and literally cot to pieces. His remains
ere at St. Thomas's Hospital. On Tuesday morning,
man, named James Brookes, residing in Peel-atroet, Fern-
worth, was knocked down by an express train, Bear to the
Stonedough Railway Station, on the Lancashire end York-
shire Railway, and killed on the spot.
