COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, MAY 29.
ExcuastoN TRAINS —The heavy rains of this day
(Saturday) have depriv. d numbers of our islanders of
heir promised trip to L mdon by the cheap steamers
and trains, and has doubtless also prevented hundreds
from London visiting this neighbourhood. It was ar-
ranged that the train from L:)ndon should reach South-
ampton about twelve o'clock this day, and that to Lon-
don leave Southampton at two o'clock; one train, there-
fore, was made available tor both purposes, and time
was given for parties to get from all parts of the island
in time for the train. The same arrangement was
made for returning on Tuesday next, but the weather has
spoilt all.

MR. FEARGIJS O:CONNORin NEW YORK.
Among the antusing, notattituies which our city has
had the honour of receiving lately from Europe, Mr.
Featgu' O'Cennor, who arrived here a few days ago by
the Europa. occupies the most distinguished niche. His
past career as a great political agitator, Member
of tint British Parliament, proprietor, of the
Northern Star, leader ot the Chartists of England,
ono originator 'ot the Seigg's-end land scheme,
bas brought him so prominently before public attention,
hat he bed become somewhat notorious, even in this
country. For the last few years, however, his eccentri-
cities have so manifested themselves, us well in the great
council chambt-r of the nation es in bis private and pub-
lic life, that it was apparent his intellect was becoming
d,rat d, and a short time since his friends instituted
the preliminary Proceedings to issue a writ de lunatico

inquireudo, for the eurpo,e of having him placed
under restraint; but he avoided the execution of this
process by withdrawin

if he was found taking an
