to weigh, and soon after she led out past the Nab light-vessel,
under double-reefed topsails, jib, foretopmast, staysail, and
spanker, followed successively by the Hieefiyer, Encounter,
and Dauntless. The latter ship also set her foresail as she
appeared behind in getting her anchor. There was a strong
breeze blowing from W.S.VVe but all three vessels stood well
up under their canvas, when they hauled the courses aboard,
and luffed close to the wind to beat down Channel.
Sir B. W. Walker, Surveyor of the Navy, and Mr.. Dineen,
inspector of steam machinery, are on board the Arrogant, and
returned to town from Portsmouth.
Sprightly, steamer, will proceed to Cork with the luggage
of Admiral Purvis in the course of a day or two.
The Prince Albert American Paeket-ship arrived at Spit-
head this morning from .the Thames to embark passengers
for New York.
By Admiralty order, the Portsmouth Dockyard pilots,
will land at Plymouth. Mr. Watts and Mr. Lloyd have
whose pilotage allowance was
about two years ago, are now again to have their full pilot-
age for taking ships in and out of Portsmouth Harbour.
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 21.--The General Screw Steam Na-
vigation Company's mail packet the Queen of the Soutb,
Captain Hyde, left Ham
the purpose of making oaze at 5 yesterday morning for
the purpose of making an experimental trip preparatory
to her departure for the Cape and Calcutta. The wind

steamer under steam only was abreast of the breakwater
at 6.9 a.m., and abreast of the at

and her engines and machinery worked
noise and caused scarcely any motion in the ship. Cap-
tain Lowe, of the flag-ship Impregnable,
superintendent of

and witnessed several experiments •rnade with the ship's

Mr. Stewart, engineer of her Majesty's dockyard, Devon-
port, has given a certete, to the effect that, after a close
inspection of the machiner fficy
of the Queen of the South, both
in dock and in work at sea. he finds it in perfect condition.
Mr. Stewart could not discover any cause for the recent accu-
mulation of water in the ship's held ; he thinks it was occa-
sioned by the ordinary waste from the injeetion
when the en-
gines were stopped, and from the lubrication of the bear-
ings. The roses of the engine's bilge
_pumps being ineffi-
cient, did not prevent their choking with coaldust and ashes,
and this rendered them useless; hence the accumulation.
Mr. Stewart's certificate shows that these defects have been
made good, and that the ship is now in excellent working
condition.
The pdssengers of the Queen of the South have presented
an address to Captain Hyde on the occasion of their second
departure, in which they express their high

of the power of

ship the surplus should have fed the boilers, Which it will
now do. The full examination by the builders, the satis-
factory inspection by the engineers, the preparatory trip
yesterday morning, and the accidental discovery of the waste
from the lubricating apparatus, have altogether proved the
means of dispatching the Queen of the South under the
most favourable auspices. '

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS

ARRIVAL OF THE MAGDALENA.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY. —The Royal mail steam-ship
Magdalena, Captain W. Vincent, arrived here at noon to.
day, bringing the usual British and foreign West India mails,
in charge of Lieutenant Newenham, R.N., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are :—Greytown (Mosquito), May 18; Chagres,
May 25; Carthagena, May 27; Santa Martha, May 10;
Havannah, May 24; Belize (Honduras), May 19 ; Nasaau
(Bahamas), Max 2'; Kingston (Jamaica), May 29; Jac-
mel (Hayti), Blay•31 ; San Juan (Porto Rico), June 2;
Berbice (British Guana), May 26; Georgetown (Demerara),
May 27; Port of Spain (Trinidad), May 27; Tobago,
May 17 ; Grenada, May 28; Curagoa, May 28 ; Barbadoes,
May 28; St. Vincent, May 23; St. Lucia, May 29;
Martinique, May 30; Guadaloupe, May 30; Dominica, May
30; Antigua, May 31; Montserrat, May 31; Nevis, May
31; St. Kitt's' May 31; St. Thomas's, June 5.
The Magdalena also brings malls from the South Pacific
ports, of the dates subjoined, received at Panama by the
steam-ship Lima : —.Valparaiso (Chili), April 30; Coquimbo,
May 1; Huasco, May 1; Copipa, May 3; Cobiji (Bolivia),
May 4 ; Iquique (Peru), May 4 ; Arica, May 5 ; Islay
(Peru), May 6; Pisca, May 7; Lima, May 11 ; Callao,
May 13 ; Guayaquil (Ecuador), May 16 ; Panama, May 19.
The Magdalena brings 107 passengers, among whom are
Mr. F. Chatfield, late Chargé d'Affaires of Central America ;
Mr. Berkeley, late colonial secretary at Honduras; the
Bishop of Antigua, &c. ; and on freight—silver, value
90,5521., and gold, value 39,7281., received across the Isth-
mus, ex steamer Lima from South Pacific—total 651,399
dolls. ; from California, 6,2641., or 341,319 dolls. ; from
Carthagena, 27,1231., or 135,614 dolls.; from Jamaica, 3,000
dolls. ; from Havannah, 14,800 dolls. ; from other parts of
the West Indies, XB,OOO dolls. ; the total value being
1,176,732 dolls., or 235.2001. sterling, of whiCh 497,492 dolls.
is in silver, and 679,440 dolls. in gold. The freight list also
comprises pearls, value 5201., 105 serons cochineal, 21 serons
indigo, 92 cases cigars, 119 bales tobacco, 6 casks coffee, 31
bales sarsaparilla, 3 cases tortoiseshell, 4 packages saccades,
and 205 packages sundries.
The Magdalena made the voyage out to St. Thomas in 15
days; the run home has occupied about 151-4 days, but it is
said would have been accomplished in. 13 days. but for
heavy north- east winds which prevailed for two-thirds of the
time.

The dates brought by this steamer from California, Val-
paraiso, and the other Pacific and Central American ports, as
well as from Jamaica and Havannab, have been anticipated
by the news via New York, received on Wednesday evening
last by the steam ships Humboldt and Great Britain. To
the unenviable notoriety, therefore, of this the direct route
from the Pacific being forestalled five days (as is usually the
case), by the indirect route of the American steam ships
from Chagres to New York and thence to Liverpool, must
be added the fact that the victory has been gained, so far as
relates to the Atlantic voyage, by a screw steamer.
The dates from Central America are to the 14th May. The
country at that time was perfectly tranquil. Honduras had
just completed its election of President for the ensuing four
years, and Senor Trinidad Cabanas had been duly installed
in that office. Efforts were being made to establish a
federal Government, but the States of Salvador
and Nicaragua do not sincerely favour the project;
and it may, therefore, be presumed that this new
attempt, like all others preceding it, will end in dis-
appointment. In Guatemala the crop of cochineal had al-
most entirely failed from atmospheric causes, and instead of
averaging 15,000 to 16,000 serons, will this year scarcely ex-
ceed 3,000. Mr. Chatfield, her Majesty's late Chargé d'Af-
faires in Central America, and who has resided in the coun-
try nineteen years, left Guatemala on the 4th of May, and
has returned home in this packet, owing to the abolition of
his office, and the substitution in its stead of a Consulate-
General. The Governor, and a large number of the principal
persons in the country, irrespective of party, manifested a
feeling of regret on the occasion of his departure.
This packet brings dates from Jamaica to the 29th ult. in-
oclusive. The popular question of retrenchment was once
again being agitated, and the public seemed extremely
desirous to reduce the very expensive and heavy
establishment of the country. The inordinate sala-
ries paid to the public officials could not be any longer
supported, and even if the British Government should
afford the colonies protection, still it would be highly
necessary to curtail the enormous salaries paid to
the public officers, which in round figures added to-
gether amount to no less than 350,0001. a year. The small-
pox was still raging in the island, but vaccination had been
much resorted to, and consequently the disease had been
checked in many parishes. in Kingston the disease was
still present, though its ravages were not great, being met
by medical attendance and vaccination. Several deaths,
however, had resulted from the disease, in consequence of
disobedience to the instructions of the medical gentlemen of
the city. His Excellency the Governor had issued an Order
in Council prohibiting variolous inoculation, the indiscrimi-
nate practice of which was calculated to spread the disease,
while every encouragement was given to the practice of
vaccination. The Governor's proclamation in regard to the
smallpox was read in all the churches and chapel., of the
island, and the several pastors took occasion to instruct their
congregations as to the utility of vaccination. The want of
labour was still being urged, but great opposition was offered
to the introduction of North American immigrants at the
expense of the colony. The weather was not quite so hot as
a fortnight before, and a little rain had fallen. The " May
seasons" were extremely late this year.
Our accounts from British Guiana are to the 27th ult.
The only political incident of importance had been the
passing of is Bill altering the title of the Legislature and the
constitution of the Legislative Assembly. The ordinance
increases the number of elective" members of the Court of
Policy from five to six, regulating also the time of service,
about wh ch at present there is a difference of opinion, by
providing that the senior member shall go out on the second
30th of June next after his election. The College of Elec-
tors is to consist of 11 members, and the Financial As-
sembly of 10, in both cases to serve for a term of three
years. The Bill creates eight electoral districts, giving a
local interest to the Financials and to the Electoral
College, and at the same time throwing upon the dis-
tricts a local responsibility. No alteration is made
either in the electoral
.qualification established by Ordi-
nance 15, of 1849, or in the mode of registration. The
elective qualification is, however, entirely alt-red, and
the word " colonial," about which ,opinions have been
so long conflicting, is now made to mean the individual, who,
from immovable property, freehold or leasehold, for 21 years
and upwards, shall have an income of 1,410 dolls. per an-
num, or be in the possession of 40 acres of land and upwards
in actual cultivation. The oath of the members is now to be
assimilated to that administered to Members of the Commons
House of Parliament.

Another arrival of immigrants had taken place from Cal-
cutta in the ship Dudbrook, and some satisfaction was ex-
pressed that a portion of them had been allotted by the Go-
vernment to au experiment in the culture of rice. The wea-
ther had been most favourable to the planters, but the yellow
fever still prevailed at Georgetovin, the average number of
deaths up to the 27th ult. being nine per diem. It was, how-
ever, principally confined to the lower order of Portuguese
settlers. Plantation Vigilance, a coffee and plaintain estate
on the east coast,about ten miles from Georgetown, had been
sold by the Administrator-General for 9,150 dolls.
The St. Vincent papers state that the weather had under-
gone a most happy change, and the rainy season was con-
sidered as having fairly taken the place of one of the severest
droughts experienced in the island for many years. The ap-
pearance of the island was completely altered by the heavy
rains which had set in. Under the influence of the prolonged
dry season the canes were nearly all destroyed.
In St. Lucia also abundance of rain had fallen, and the
aspect of the island had assumed au encouraging appear-
ance; everything in the fields looked green where lately
all had been reduced to stubble by the lengthened drought.
Her Majesty's ship Alarm was at anchor at St. Lucia.
The small village of Piail, in the fourth district, was almost
entirely destroyed by fire on the 3d of &lay. A fire also
occurred on the 9th of the same month on the Malgretout
estate, which was supposed to be the work of incendiaries.
The B srbadoes papers contain no news of importance.
The agricultural prospects were unchanged, and the present
crop was leaving, the island with all reasonable dispatch.
The Barbadoes Mercury (started in 1733) had ceased to
exist.

From Martinique and Guadeloupe we have nothing of
importance. Lieutenadt-GOvernor Daly, of Tobago, was at
Martinique on a tour for the iecovery of his health. The
drought was still severely felt in the French West India
islands.

The Dominica papers inform us of a misunderstanding be-
tween Major Blackwall, the Lieutenant-Governor, and the
House of Assembly, arising out of an appointment by his
Excellency. of a youth of la years of age as third officer of
the revenue. The House having requested the Governor to take
the Attorney-General's opinion as to the validity of the secu-
rity to be given by one who is of non-age, his Excellency con-
strued it into a personal insult, and dissolved the House.
The new elections resulted in the return of a majority of the
old Members, and it was expected that the Governor would
either have to give way to the Legislature, or resign.
In Antigua slight showers had fallen in some divisions
of the island, but generally the want of moisture was se-
verely felt. In the House of Assembly a Committee had
presented a report upon the necessity of effecting reductions
upon salaries paid to public officials in consequence of the
distressed state of the island. The proposed reductions to be
from 21,4 to 30 per cent.
The St. Kitt's papers contain a letter from the Rev. Mr.
Rock, of Anguilla, wherein a most heartrending picture is
drawn of the wretched condition to which the prevailing
drought had reduced all classes of the island. They are
represented as literally starving.
We have Trinidad journals and correspondence to the 27th
ultimo. His Excellency Lord Harris and the greater part
of the colonial notabilities had testified their respect to the
character of the late
fanßomn Catholic Archbishop by attend-
ingttend-
(unofficially) his al obsequies. Nearly
persons followed in procession. The Board of Council was to
meet ofor en
n the Ist of June, when the third reading of the ordi-
nance prohibiting the try of future solicitors who
had not passed in Great Britain, would be again sub-
mitted. A few successive weeks of dry weather had been
followed by several days and nights of incessant rain. Ad-
vantage had in most instances been taken to expedite the
gathering and shipment of the crop, which is about 13,000
hogsheads in excess of that of last year. The reduced dolls.
which had been obtained this year, say ,tarnl. to 2% dolls.
against 3% dolls. to 314 dolls. last year the table most
seriously against the planters. The showery weather pre-
vailing was satisfactory as regards the next crop. The
shipments of sugar to the latest date amounted to 16,175
hogsheads, 2,066 tierces., 3,501 barrels, against 14,823 hogs-
heads, 1,693 tierces, and 3 892 barrels in 1851.
From Porto Rico we learn that tae new Captain-General,
Don F. Norzagary, had arrived from Madrid, and the new
lntendente, Don Paslor Arguelles, was expected by the next
mail steamer. Sugars were in active demand, and orders
had been received from the United States, for first quality,
at 4 dolls. per cwt. ; second, 23/4 dolls. to 3% dolls.; and
third, 2i dolls. to 3 dolls. Owing to the heavy rains a
scarcity of sugar was experienced, and the crops both of
sugar and tobacco will fall much below those of last year.
Molasses were in fair demand at 11c. to 12c. per gallon.
The deficiency in sugar will amount to about 30 per cent.
St. Thomas was healthy when the Magdalena sailed
thence on the sth inst.
The late heavy rains in the islands of Cuba and Porto
Rico will prove most detrimental to the crops of sugar, inas-
much as the labourers will not be able to collect the canes
for crushing, and a great portion will consequently rot on
the ground. ,

SPORTING NOTES.
No. COXLIX,
STARTERS FOR TO-MORROW'S RACES AT
NEWCASTLE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In my intelligence from the North received yester-
day, with respect to the Second Triennial Stakes, Azeth,
who is there reported a starter, is dead amiss and will not
run; therefore, I imagine, Presto will beat the Miss Whip
colt, unless they choose to allow the latter to walk over.

The fields for tomorrow's stakes are as follow :
Free Handicap—Knight of the Garter, View Halloo,
Child of the Mist, Om Puritan, Agnes. Wickfield, andigifir6tqf.
Dawson's. I can discover nothing that stands a chapts--fir
beating KNIGHT OF THE GARTER.
Third Triennial Stakes—Evadne, Cleveland, and Pelopidas.
Of course EVADNE and PELOPIDAS will figure first and second.
Produce Stakes—Lord Fauconberg, colt by Touchstone out
of ;Garland. - •

Northumberland Plate—Cossack, Neasham, Gelding by
Morgan Rattler, Colsterdale, Stilton, the Proctor, Stafford,
England's Glory, Snowdrop, St. Michael, and Caracara. The
race for this stake will probably lay with Neasham, Colster-
dale, one of Saunder's, Stilton, and Caracara; CAILACARA
and STILTON filling the first and second places, the other two
close up, third and fourth.
The Ladies' Plate—Tom Pinch, Happy Joe, Brawn, and
the Cutler.
