Despatches were received yesterday g the Colonial-office
from the GOVOYDOII of the Note American Provisoes sad
British Columbia.

The next advicee from America may be expected
by one of the three following steamers, which were to
leave on the 30th of November—the City of Washington.
from New York for Liverpool; the Saionia, from New
York to Hamburg, rid Southampton ; and the Norwegian,
from Portland to Liverpool. The City of Washington and
the Baxonia, which may be expected about Thursday or
Friday, will bring only two days' later news ; but the Nor•
wegian, which may be looked for this evening or to-morrow,
will touch at Cape Puce, and most probably bring telegram,
from New York to the 3rd of December, with an outline
of the President's Message. The next subsequent 'Warners
will be the Asia, from New York direct on the 4th of De-
cember, and the Fulton on the 7th. The announcement of
the destruction of the Harvey Birch was taken out by the
Quebec and Montreal steamer of the 2lst of November, and
the Norwegian, therefore, will perhaps bring accounts of
the reception of that news at New York.

The NationaliVs of Turin states that General

A letter from Rome eaye :—" The paternal go-
vernment of the Vatican him just issued two edicts of rather
• peculiar description. One, which forbids tailors, tailor-
eases, and milliners to work on fete-ilsys, and the keepers of
' ristoranti ' and sating-houses to serve any food except that
of the most 'emigre ' kind on those holy days. To appro.
date the inconvenience of this despotic order, it must be

remembered that for the next six months there will be on
an average two of these fasts out of each week, besides the
ninckle fast they ea' Sunday.' The second order relates
to the art of photography,' and so great are the pains to
suppress this useful scienoe, and so lengthy the clauses of
the police regulations on the subject, that the New Zes•
lender' (supposing him to have come to Rome to try his
prentice hand on the Coliseum) might well suppose it to be
the' black art'

REPRESENTATION or NOTTINORANL—A private
meeting of the heads of the conservatives a as held yesterday
afternoon, for the purpose of naming a candidate, and a
gentleman connected with the Vide of the town was men-
tioned. It is understood to be Mr. William Tldmu, an
extensive lace manufacturer, of Carrington, near Not-
tingham.
Emir Wozczarzaartras ELacriow.—The Speaker
having given notice el his intention to issue the writ for
East WOrcestershire, vice Mr. J. H. H. Foley, deceased, it
is expected that the writ will be received by the tinder-
sheriff of Worcestershire on Saturday next, and that he will
fix Monday, the 23rd inst., for the election. Mr. H. F. Ver-
non, the only candidate, is still on his wedding tour on the
Continent, but is expected home in a few days. There will
be no opposition to his return.
ST. TROILUS'S HOSPITAL AND THE CRARING-tROIS
RAILWAY.—Mr. John Stewart, of Liverpool, the umpire
duly nominated and appointed by the Board of Trade, has
by his award, dated the 7th of December inst., settled and
determined that the compensation to be paid by the Char-
ing-cross Railway Company, as well for the purchase in tee
simple of the whole of the St. Thomas's Hospital and pre-
mises with the appurtenances as for the damage sustained,
or to be sustained, by the governors, by reason of the exam-
tion by the said company of the works authorised by the
Charincerces Railway Act, 1850, and the enemies by the
said compan of the powers of the said act and of the acts
incorporated'therewith, shall be the sum of 298,0001. The
claim, it will be remembered, was 750,0001.
A FEDERAL PRIVATEER.—The Boston Deihl
eertiser gives the following account of a steamer fitted out
at that port,which is to operate as a Federal privateer in the
Eastern Ocean :—" The propeller Pembroke, Captain John
A. Cunningham, proceeded on a trial trip down thz, harbour
and to the north-eastward on Wednesday last, with her new
boiler, which proved that with steam enough she can go as
fast as a vestal of her sire ought to go—say, ten miles
an hour. She has been rigged anew as a topsail
schooner, or a hermaphrodite brig, and when under
all sail proved to be very stiff. She sails on
Monday for Java, where she will ship her propeller,
and proceed to Shanghai under steam and Canvass. She is
armed with two Schenckel rifle guns, and carries o commis-
sion' under the late law, as a letter of marque. It is under-
stood that, at the suggestion of her owners, several similar
commissions have been forwarded by the government to
our minister is China, and that measures will be takes by
the next Congress towable Mr. Burlinghame to adjudicate
on pinta; or recaptured vessels in the ports of Chins. This
is probably the first Antal.= steamer destined for China
going out under such a OOMMillI100."
ADULTERATED TOBACCO.—The Bradford Inland
Revenue oaken have been making a raid on the prcinisee
of two tobacconists in Bradford, and their foray appears to
have been perfectly successful. In one case, the tobacco-
nist was also a manufacturer, and both at the manufactory
and at the shop, rhubarb leave. were found mixed
up. with the tobacco. In the second seizure, lAolb.
weight of tobacco was found, all adulterated, though
the adulteration varied from one to ten per cent. In each
case, the tine inflicted was rd., but the real offence all
cheating her Majesty's exchequer, and not that of cheating
her Majesty's lieges. The compound might have been con-
sidered pure ' weed," whether adulterated or nut. A man
who supplied one of the defendants with the rhubarb leaves
was fined 50&, as it was nonsidered he was a participator
in the fraud on the revenue.
