Sir,L-In an extract copied into- your paper of
Tuesday last from the New Orleans;. Creseent,• my ,
ship is reported..to have been detained: at the bar of
the MisSissippi. Such statement being entirely
erroneous, I respectfully solicit space in your
valuable journal for it's correction. The .• Ocean
Bride did not stop at the bar, but passed it on the
12th April, arriving .at Liverpool on the 11th May--
thus making the .pas Sage from port to port- in
twenty-nine days-Mean-tin:re. . The ship has discharged
• her cargo in excellent order,.and is now preparing to
receive, from .Mr.. Frackelton, passenger broker, of
No. 70, -Waterloo-road, a 7 full complement of
Passengers for conveyance to Quebec, to which port
she has carried, safely and satisfactorily, during -the

MR. HEYWOOD ANDsTHE BALLOT.
TO THE EDITOR OF NORTHERN TIMES

S'ir,-Permit me to call attention to the in—
the s
tency of .9e±!l!e,s,Nik7, support of the Ballot.
'"-At
'Manchester and Wrga,n:he said : • "Unless the
Ballot be compulsory, 99 out of every WO will vote
openly."
At *Liverpool he said: !'-I:am-aware that a number
of men prefer to vote openly,: and in the-light of day,
but, I say, a great number will not do so."
Are not these the arguments of my opponents ; I
trust he is mis-reported.,--Fours,

0„,aa,,, about twenty-five miles north-of Sfax, had disap-
peared; and had not been heard of for nine days. Several
European residents of Sfax have: been to the spot, but can
find.no trace of him, excepting his scarf torn into many
pie:Ts in a well. He is supposed to bare left Scebba for
Sfax very early on the morning of I,9th of March, and
had with him a sum of money,--about 10,000 piastres; so
it is generally believed that he was murdered on the way:
Several persons Hiring at Seebba, have been arrested on
suspicion ; but nothing further than the above has been
elicited.—. Malta Times, April 1..
Cu awts Ihs-ropaca.i, FACT. -- During the troubles in
the reign of Charles 1., a country girl came to London in
search of a place as a servant-maid, but not succeeding, she
hired herself to carry out beer,from.a brew-house, and was
one of those called tub-women, The. brewer, observing a
good-looking girl in this low occupation, took her into his
family as a•servant, and, after a. short time, married her,
but he died while she was a young.wornan, and left her the
bulk of his fortune. The business. of the brewery was
dropped, and the young woman was. recommended to Mr.
Hyde, as a skilful lawyer, to • arrange: her husband's affairs.,
Hyde, who was afterwards the Earl of Clarendon, finding
the widow's fortune very considerable, married her. Of
this marriage there was no other issue than a daughter,
who was afterwards the wifoof James 11., and mother of
Mary and Anne, Queens of Englatul—Review, or Country
Gentleman's journal.
