FALMOUTH, MAY 20.—Her Majesty's packet
Skylark, Lieutenant Ladd, arrived off the port, thirty-six
days from Havanna!). bringing the Mexican mails, and
about a ton and a half of specie freight. She brings little
news of interest. Her Majesty's ship Madagascar, it visa
expected, would be despatched with a freight of a million
of dollars; and two millions had arrived down from the
interior—one for the United States, and the other for
Janiaica. Active measures were being taken by the Go-
vernment at Vera Cruz to subdue the Federalists, who had
entire possession at Tampico. To attain this object
large force was crossed over the bar at the same time as
the packet, intending, however, to touch at Matainaros
its
former further assistance. Commerce had re-assumed
former vigour, as appeared by the disembarkation of car'
goes, but from the still critical position of the French and
Mexican treaty, perfect public confidence was not restored.
FAIR ROSA MOND.—What interminable throngs
of fair and romantic associations does not this name sug-
gest 1 It changes into a rich romance that entire portion
of the true history to which it belongs. Such is the haPPY
I;
subject which the author of " Royston Gower" has ck).,se,„
for his new essay (now on the eve of publication) itt ,
rical fiction. Mr. Miller's patient spirit of research,
to that high and pure tone of romance which is a lesollt
feature of his essentially poetic mind, promise, and isd!,,,e,
guarantee the most popular results. With such a heroin
as Rosamond Clifford, and such a hero (for the virtue
hero we have no doubt he will be) as Thomas a Becket,
we may expect a romantic fiction not unworthy the greatschool to which he belongs--that of ‘, Waverley."
Mr. W. Smith, a merchant of Yarmouth, bought
a pair of pistols on Tuesday, one of which he loaded, an
t_d
putting it to his side, fired it off. The ball entered to
unhappy gentleman's body just below the heart, which wil:s
not wounded, and he is still living, but with small hopes
of:surviving the effects of his rashness. —Norwich Mercal.
MAD DOGS.—The Magistrates of Marylebo.ne
office have, in consequence of several persons having
within the last month been bitten by dogs supposed to be
in a rabid state, caused handbills to be circulated through;
out the district cautioning all owners of dogs Wins'
letting the animals roam at larger unmuzzled.
