INCREASED STEAM COhIMUNICSTION WITH IRELAND
observe that the City of Dablin Steamship Company
hive commenced to run their fi.s -class steamers to and
from Liverpool and Kingstown daiiy. The boats at present
(in the line are the Windsor, Captain Williim
and the Eblana. The latter is only put on • the afation
pro. ten until the Iron Duke, now undergoing extensive
alterations, repairs, and enlargement, is ready to take her
place. The Windsor is a well known and general
favourite. She makes her nass,:ges•with speed, and the
ut,nost regularity.. Captain Williams has net only practised ,
but studied his professiou as a n ivigator, and has taken
his good ship through many n ter• ific gale, keeping good
time and landing all his passengers in perfect safety.
Mr. Wilson, the steward, and the stewardess, and their
assistants, are retwirkahle for their kindness and attention
to all on br)ard: Tueir eonstarit steely is to make the cabin
of the Windsor equal to the best regulated hotel. Parties
on the other side of the Channel, desirous of visiting the
Manchester Exhibition,. can leave-Dublin--in- the evening,
take •passage by the Windsor, erjay 'a et,infortable night's
rest, and be in Manchester about nine o'clock on the
.following morning:._ They can leave Manchester about
four p.m., and arrive in time to cross over. the same
evening. We feel confident that travellers cannot a'lopt a
better route than by the, Kingstown and Liverpool line.
The steamer Windsor is a sale; fast-sailing, and comfortable
,Slaip, the cipfain a first rate navigator and a true gentle-
man, his steward is the Riedel of a steamboat official, but
in addition tai all this the City of Dcb:in Company merit
"every support and encparagetrkt.

Liz Rv Starr RA ILW AYS. Le Nord, sljts—c4 The
public subscription for the 'shares of the Gnat Russian
Railway Company has been •opened at St. Petersbtrgh,
and that the confi fence of Ole public in the enterprise
was immediately demonstrated by the fact of 50,000 Shares,
'one-third of the number to be disposed of, having been sub-
scribed for in a single da.7. Our correTondent adds that,
from the anxiety to subscribe, it will not be possible to
'satisfy all the demands.',
THE SEARCLI Law OF VHIGINIA.—The Senate of Mas-
s ,chusetts has passel a resolve, on the petition of Levi
Bak. r and others, to test the coostitutionality of the law
of Virginia which requires that no vessel owned wholly, or
in part, witlibut that State, and bound to any port north
of the Cupes of Virginia, shall depart without undergoing
an inspection,'and receiving a certificate to that effect.
The object of the law is, to provide additional pntection
for the slave property of Virginia citizens. .Captain Baker,
who has pursued the occupation of a coaster for the last
teenty-fire years, left Norfolk on the Ist of last August,
in disregard of the law, but igneraet, as is alleged, that
any law had been violated. On his return, the vessel was
seized. lie declined to pay the penalty'demanded of him
as the condition of, releasing' his vessel, and offered to give
a satisfactory bond for any sum which might be required,
in order to relieve his vessel from arrest, so that he might
try his rights by making his defence in the Court, but
found that his vessel Cuuld net be' bonded until the sitting
of the Court, thee next to be held after the lapse of two
and a half months. It is to aid in. the prosecution of this
suit, that the sum of 2,500 dollars was appropriated by a
• resolve of the Senate.

WAR IN PERSIA.

SUICIDE 'OF '"GENERAL STALIMII AND

COMAIODURE ETZERIDGE

" Before the news of the conclusion of peace with
Persia .could reach us, au expedition .to Moharn-.
morah• sailed froth' Bushire on the 19th of March,
uNder the personal command of Sir. Jsmesthrtram,
"The force arrived in the mouth of the Eunlirateti
on the 21st. On the 24th it moved towards the
fort, and opened a brisk fire at daybreak of, the
261 h. The. Persians replied with spirit, hutin the
end,.the superiority of our squadron was manifest
and our troops having landed-advanced upon the
entrenched camp of the enemy, who fled imme.
diately, leaving behind them their tents, stores, Szol
" The loss of the enemy, has been [estimated at
200 killed.

,c As a truly tragic episode of this war, we
have 46 mention the death, each by his own
lisp& of General Forster Staloer, Commander
of `the Foreei, and Comtro'ofe Etheridge, oj the
navy. _ _

" The verdict on General Stalker's body was,
that he came by his death from a pistol shot
inflicted
,by his own 'hand- in a fit of temporary
insanity.
",There, was no, paper left to indicate .this, and
he was merely ,he,ard to complain that the 3rd
Cavalry was not given him, and ivtis alsiinneasy
about- the responsibility of .sheltering the Euro-
Pe,an' troops during the approaching hot weather.
u The verdict on'Commodore Etheridge was that
he destroyed. himself with his own hand while
'suffering under inental aber.iation, breught about
by leng-con tinned anxiety connected witlC'the
duties of his command.
A mutiny `of the &pays of the 19th .Bengal
Native Infantry has ended in the disbanding of the
corps.. .
" The Governors of the Presidencies are at the
seats of.their administration.

" A further improvement has taken place in our
money market, and 'We have to report a further rise
in 4 per cent paper.
" The business transacted in the import market
durifiti?-the fcrtnight has been to a I,tir extent.
" Freights have fallen in value, and exhibit a
dowpwarci tendency."
