THE EXPORT OF ARMS TO AMERICA.—BTR-
MINOHAM, Nov. 7.—Last evening it became known here
that a difficulty had arisen in the way of shipping cases of
small-arms to America. Hitherto since the war commenced
these have been carried at the ordinary freights, and large
quantities have been sent by the vessels of the Inman
line. It is now stated that the daring of the small Confe-
derate navy has raised fears lest an attempt should be made
to seize vessels conveying contraband of war. It is also
stated that a large number of packages were removed front
on board the Etna at Liverpool on Wednesday. Should
this be correct, it may have a material bearing on the for-
tunes of the war, as well as upon the gun trade of this
town; indeed, already these who are not members of the
association are beginning to understand the effects of the
shipping difficulty, since, in anticipation of it, contracts
expiring on the Ist of November have not been renewed.
The Cunard boats have not carried packages containing
arms.

THE FEMALE 13LONDIN.—We have received in-
formation which enables us to state that a paragraph, which
appeared some time since in our and other papers regarding
the female Blondin, gave a somewhat exaggerated state-
ment of her case. It is true that she left St. Bartholomevr
Hospital on crutches, but with one limb three-quarters of
an inch, instead of three inches, shorter than the other.
Her case was a simple fracture of the thigh bone. There
never was any question about amputation. The bone is
now thoroughly united, and in a few months' time, when
her strength is restored, she will be able to use her rightlegi,
and walk well with only the assistance of a high-heeled
boot. The surgeons promise her a useful limb, but it is
questionable whether she will ever be able to repeat those
perilous ascents from the danger of which she has had so
narrow an escape.
death,Til EmaCiIigOnLLISION AT INlNcsßußGH.—Another
19, has resulted from the railway collision at
Winchburgh on the 13th ult. The deceased is a man named
John Macdonald, a book agent and deliverer, who on the
night of the accident was conveyed to the Royal Infirmary
of :Edinburgh with both his legs broken and his body
greatly bruised and injured. After admission he had to
undergo amputation of one of his legs, and his case was
from the first regarded as almost hopeless. He, however,
survived the catastrophe three weeks. Several other pa.
tients still remain in the infirmary, but, with probably one
exception, they are making a good recovery.
SUPPOSED Loss OF A BALTfC STEAMER.—
HULL, Nov. s.—Great fears are now entertained for the
safety of the screw steamer Humboldt, Capt. L. Mehring,
belonging to Messrs. Priest Brothers and Co., of this port.
The Humboldt was a regular trader between Hull and
Dantsic, and is known to have left the latter port on the
16th October. She arrived at Copenhagen on the 18th, and
left the same evening for Hull. Since that time nothing
whatever has been heard of her, although the vo) age
from Copenhagen to Hall is usually performed in three
days. The Humboldt had a valuable cargo on board, con-
sisting of wheat and other merchandise. It is not known
whether she had any passengers or not. The Czar, Capt.
Larsen, concerning which great anxiety has been felt,ar-
rived safe at St. Petersburg on the 25th October, after a
very stormy passage.
