THE WEST INDIA MAIL

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Parana, Cap-
tain Bevis (Admiralty agent Lieutenant Cartwright,
lts.), arrived at Southampton on Saturday, with
the West India, Pacific, and Mexican mails. Her
dates were Tampico, June 30; Vera Cruz, July 6;
Havannah, 10; Santa Martha, 7; Greytown, 5;
Carthageua, 11; Chagrea, 0 ; Jamaica, 12 ; Hayti,
13; Porto Rico, 15; Demerara, 10; Tobago, 9;
Trinidad, 10 ; liarbadoes, 12 ; Grenada, 11 ; Cariacoa,
10; St. Vincent, 11 ; St. Lucia, 13; Martinique,
13 ; Guadaloupe, 13 ; Antigua, 14; Dominique, 14 ;
Montserrat, 13 ; Nevis, 13 ; St. Kitts, 14 ; Tortola,
14 ; St. Thomas, 10 ; La Gwyn, 6.
Her cargo comprises silver and gold to the value
of 2,169,383 dollar,, on merchant account. The
whole of the cargo was contained in upwards of 700
packages.
The Parana brought home 121 saloon passengers,
amongst whom were the Spanish Admiral Quesada,
Mr. Corral, the Venezuelan envoy to France, and
Mr. Hesse, the charge d'affaires from l'russia to
New Granada.

The yellow fever is believed to hive been at its
worst in the West Indies, and a change for the better
was thought to be approaching. The Parana had
30 cues, and only three deaths, the last of which
happened on the 26th ult.
From the West India Islands there is no news of
importance. The crops are rather over the average.
The planters are prosperous, and in good spirits.
Estates are in great demand, and when one is to be
sold adosen persons arc competing for it.

THE NATIVES AT BOMBAY.

An address, signed by nearly 400 of the principal
inhabitant. of Bombay, including natives of all castes—
Parsee, Ilindoo, Muesulroan, Mogul, Jews. Portuguese, and
Arab—has been presented to the Right Hon. Lord Elphin-
atone, Governor of Bombay, assuring his lordship of their
unchangeable loyalty, and placing their services at the die-
posal of the government. In his reply, Lord Elphinetone
mys
It is gratifying to all real friend, of this country to ob-
serve that the princes and people of Upper India, far from

proof of their devotion will not be necessary. Already we
have received official accounts which leave no doubt that the
mutineers of Meerut end Delhi, who originated this sad con-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

AZZINI AND THE LATR INSURRECTION
IN ITALY.

The Genoa Gazette contains a short abstract of
Mazzini's article, the publication of which
caused the seizure of the Italia del Popolo on
the 29th ult. Mazzini, after describing the part
taken by himself and his adherents in the
late movements, denies there having been any
intention of pillaging or blowing up public edi-
fices. adds that at Genoa the movement was
not directed against the Piedmontese government,
but that it was intended to turn the means of action
which Genoa possesses to account, and to draw
Piedmont into a revolutionary war. Mazzini con-
cludes by declaring that ho will not cease until he
has attained his ohject.

Avarrr 2.

Accounts from Naples of the 30th ult., state that
the Neapolitan government has authorieed the esta-
blishment of two lines of submarine telegraph,
uniting Sicily to Malta and Turin. A decree pro-
nounces the reform of the postal system; other
decrees will complete this reform, which is based on
the French system. An emente has taken place at
hernia on the subject of the octroi. A body of 2,000
peasants invaded the municipality with cries of
"Long live the King!" The authorities very soon
restored order, and the ringleaders were arrested.

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter, received in Paris, gives the
unexpected, though not unlikely, news that, on the
occasion of the Queen's aecouchement, Queen Chris-
tina will return in triumph to Madrid.

pause, and they accordingly had a most bountiful supply
at each port.

have been out on strike in Glasgow. We understand that
the masters proposed to make a reduction in the pay of their
mea, which wasaioned the strike. We are happy to be able
to Mats that the masters have agreed to something like a
comwmise, and that they intend to offer 5d per hour, which
is sly id lees than the men contend for. It is to be hoped
that the opwatives will accept of this half-way meeting and
rem* their work. It has invariably been found that strikes
tell most against the worker, and they should reflect that at

GREECE.

A letter from Athens of the 29th states that the
Queen of Greece on reaching the Pincus, wee re-
ceived at the landing place by the ministers and the
authorities, and welcomed by the crowd with loud
acclamations. Her Majesty was conducted by the
King to an elegantly deoorated tent, where the
clergy offered up prayers of thanksgiving for her
safe arrival. Their Majesties then entered an open
carriage drawn by six horses, and proceeded to
Athens under the escort of a detachment of cavalry.
At the entrance of the capital a triumphal arch
ornamented With garlands of flowers and flags, had
been erected, and near which the different corporate
bodies, with their banners displayed, were drawn
up, and all the streets leading to the palace were il-
luminated, many of the windows being ornamented
with transparencies. One of them represented the
meeting of the Emperors at Ststtgardt, and her
Majesty is represented pointing to the map of
Greece, as if calling for the kind solicitude of those
sovereigns towards that country. On the following
evening her Majesty went to the theatre, which was

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Hamburg, of the 7th inst., in the
Inderendaser 8.0., states that, on that and the
preceding day, there was a regular panic on the
Stock Exchange. There was a fall in every descrip-
tion of stock, as also on all bills of exchange. Bills
on France, Belgium, and on the commercial marts
of Germany and England were unsaleable at the
usual three months' date. There is great want of
specie. The financial crisis was also beginning to
be felt in Sweden and Norway, and money was
becoming scarce.

The amount of German bills drawn for merchan-
dise of every description, and protested, amounted
on the 21st October to nearly 1,000,0001. sterling.
Since then the Vanderbilt has brought protested
bills, between the 21st and 24th October, to the
amount of 200,0001. to 240,0001. more. •

GLASGOW, Nov. 9.

The Western Bank of Scotland suspe.nded pay.
mint at two o'clock, at which hour the doors at the head
taco and branches were closed. Although to some extent
looked fur the suspension ham caused great dismay. The
beak did an immense business in Glasgow, and had about a
hundred branches scattered over Scotland. Its depceits are
vary Inge, amounting, it is said, to between five sad NW
talons sterling. There cannot be any eventual loss se the
proprietary contains many of the wealthiest men in Scot-
land, some of whom are believed to be worth about a million
starling.

The directors Lave put forth a statement to the effect that
circulars will be immediately issued to the creditors comma-
Riesling details and suggesting measures to be pursued,
which, with forbearance and calm self-possession on the part
of the public, may avert many of the calamitous effects
which would otherwise result from such a catastrophe.
There is scarcely another bank in Scotland (they add) which,
If time is allowed by the creditors, is so well able to draw
upon the reroutes of its wealthy proprietary. The holders
of the notes of the bank am enjoined not to pert with them
at a discount, as full ultimate payment is certain.

ATTEMPT AT NYRDER BY d CONVICT.

PORTSMOUTII, PER. 2.
Another attempt at murder by one of the conrieta
in the penal catabliabruent M this port was made to-day. The
csoivicts, as vouch, had been attending divine service et tho
church within the wall of the convict prison, and on their
leaving the churn and falling into thor respective gamy., a
prisoner of the name Johnson ...Monty stabbed • warder,
named James Aston in Um neck, on the right band side.
The act was very sudden, and would have been repeated but
foe two other oonvicto epnueringupon the villain and effectually
meuring him. Ile was taken to a cell and locked up. It is
' extraordinary that he could have obtained pomession of the
instrument with which ho committed this deed (a
common clasp knife), as but a few minutes before he
with the other prisoners had been twarched, and no inatru-
ment was found upon Lin. Johnson had been confined
in the Stirling Castle, convict bulk, at this port, some years
since, at a time when James Aston was a warder on board,
and it is supposed that some old grudge is the cause of the
attempt at memoinstion made to-day. After pawing some
time on hoard the Stirling Castle, Johnson was sent to Gib-
railer, where he stabbed • warder, and for which he was Ben-
tenets] to transportation for life, and sent back to England to re-
commence the "probationary" course. On being conveyed to
the cell Le said to one of the warders, " All I hope is, tLat I
have tilted the ; but, if I havn't, tell him that I hope he
won't forgot the Stirling Casttc." Poor Aston is utmost in •
hopeless condition this evening; he is a married man, of 31

the immediate departure of a fleet for China. I have
not heard what the precise force is to be, but four
vessel, of the line arc spoken of, besides frigates and
steamers.

A camp of two divisions of cavalry and :four
divisions of infantry (in all 40,000 men), is to be
formed this year at Suippes (Marne), a place in
Champagne, where tho new war fusers were tried
last summer. A detachment of sappers has just
left Metz for Snippet'.
The Ruinian Ambassador, Count Kisselet, left
Perin thin evening for Nice. His return to Paris is
fixed for the 18th. _ .

The Grand Duke Constantine is not expected here
till the middle of April.
At the Boarso the settlement of tho }lento was
effected very much to the disadvantage of the
"Bears." They had calculated a great deal too
much on the amount of stuck which would be re-
quired to be delivered, and had very generally waited
to the last moment, expecting that the rate of reports
would be very high. This was so far from being the
case that early in the day the Rente was carried
over at the comparatively low figure of 45c., and in
the course of the afternoon the rate dropped to 10c.!

When..thoLsettleraent was nearly over (about
half-past two) the market gave way a little,
but the closing prices of the Rente were 68fr. 15c.
and 68fr., being a rise of 35c. and 40c. Mobilier
rose 30fr. Railways were all higher, and some few
lines were in great demand. Orleans rose 12fr.50c.,
Lyons 17fr. 50e., Mediterranean lOfr., Western

to-morrow is expected to go off well.

The bodice of a: woman and a grenadier of the

must have committed a sentimental suicide together.

THE PERSIAN WAR.

The Pays states that the governor of Can-
debar went to Femh on Dec. 14, where
he had a friendly interview with the Commander-
in-Chief of the Persian army. The French
journal draws from this news, joined to the
fact of the departure for Teheran of envoys from
certain Affghan tribes, the inference that Aff-
ghanistan is altogether favourable to Persia, and
that the taking of llushire being thus amply coun-
terbalanced, the Shah is in a position to make con-
cessions, and the chances of peace arc considerably

augmented.
We (Times) have received the following des-
patch

following as a correct account of the state of again

" The English, ars not masters of the town of
Lucknow, but only of the citadel, about two kilo-

by General Outran, who succeeded, after a mar-
derous struggle, in putting himself in communication
with the besieged. He is now shut up within the

mands the second column, is encamped outside the
citadel, on an eminence called Mount Hamak. He
is held in check by the insurgent army, 20,000 strong,
which is muter of the town of Lucknow. In this
very serious situation, the English find themselves
opposed to a vutly superior force, which intercepts
their communications with Cawnpore, the ban of

SIR ERSKINE PERRY ON INDER.

Sir Erskine Perry, M.P. for Devonport, met the
liberal electors at the Ottildhall on Thursday evening, when
tiers was • good attendance, and Mr. Coeiretatie Tates
presiNd. The hon. and learned member, after realdng of
the Divorce Act and other law reforms, entered on the sub-
ject of Indic Be congratulated those who heard him upon
the favourable news just received, but remarked that a
greater difficidty than the military difficulty world have to
be dealt with—the political difficulty of devising how to
govern India for the figure. It would be • delusion to sup-
pose that anything like a constitutional form of government
would be possible amongst people who for 3,000 years had
lived under a despotism. But he did not moan that the
government should be a tyros:deal one of coercion, though
in history such governments by • strong foreign power bad
often proved suceeedul, se it was in Italy at the present day.
For um, however, such • system would be morally
wrong, and against Christian and liberal principles. It
would also be impolitic if not &elf-destructive in India,
seeing the overpowering, numi,ers of the population,
and their means of forming seer ecompirseim. Thee
was, however, • question of move buessdiatis urgency,
upon which be bad formed the deliberate end char opinion
that it would be neither to the interest of India nor the in-
terests of this country to confide the envernesust of British
India any longer to the Court of Directors. It would also be
neemeary to put • stop to the mischievous system of centre-
lisation. The power of the Governer-General ahoeM be
greatly abated, or distributed among local governments.
Free scope should be allowed for missionary label:ire, but the
government should not interfere with the religiose of the
people. If the population were once rimated by • belief
that we intended to destroy their religion, our ruts
in India would not be writs three days' purchase.
The government should give a free and fair field to all re-
ligions. Alluding to other subjects, the hon. and learned
gentleman avowed that he was not very anxious for a Parlia-
mentary Reform Bill. A vote of confidence in him was
pared.
