WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
SOUTHAMPTON, May 13.

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tasmanian,
Captain Sawyer, with the West India and Pacific
mails, arrived this evening at 5 p.m.
She brings 300 passengers, specie value $879,265,
also 235 serons cochineal, 41 serous indigo, 446
bags coffee, 31 bales sarsaparilla, 91 casks ginger,
7 cases cigars, 114 bags cocoa, 537 bales bark, 138
bales indiarubber, 382 bags cotton, and 161 packages
sundries.

The Tasmanian left St. Thomas on the 29th, and
experienced fine weather throughout the passage.
On the sth she passed the schooner Sultana, of
Jersey, and on the 12th the barque Panther.
The Royal Mail Company's steamer Solent left
St. Thomas on the 27th ult. for Englaid, calling
at Madeira for passengers.
Her Majesty's ship Sutlej left Panama on the
14th for Honolulu. The Liffey, from Gibraltar,
with reinforcements for the British squadron in
the Pacific, arrived at Colon on the 14th. The
Devastation was to leave Acapulco for Panama on
the 12th. The Columbine was to sail from Panama
for Callao.

From Central America the news is becoming ex-
citing. Canera, the President for life of Guatemala,
was not expected to live. Barrios, the ex-President'
of San Salvdor, was stirring up a revolution. The
death of Canera would be a great loss throughout
Central America.

• In Nicaragua all is tranquil after the storm raised
by the Liberal party against the amended concession
to Capt. Pim, R.N. That gentlemen's contract, how-
ever, was ratified by a late majority in both Cham-
bers, and he now has exclusive privilege for 99
years, with upwards of 2,000,000 acres of land, and
other very important grants. A new track, with an
easier grade than the former one, had been cut by
Capt. Pim, through the forest between the Lake of
Nicaragua and the Atlantic, and the Government
had decided to widen it into a cart road, in conse-
quence of the state of the river and harbour of Grey
Town, which is now entirely closed up, so that people
can walk across the bar. Grey Town is the only
Atlantic port possessed by Nicaragua. The new
route therefore becomes an important one, and of
great advantage to the mercantile interests of the
country.
The news from the Republic of Bolivia is inter-
esting. We give the following extract from a letter
of an English merchant, written on 7th April. He
says :

" General Belzu arrived in La Paz on 22d March,
was proclaimed President of the Republic, and com-
menced to organise forces. President Melgarejo re-
ceived the news at Oruro on the 23d, and imme-
diately marched on to La Paz, and after a despe-
rate struggle stormed the town. On the 27th Belzu
took refuge in the palace, which was shortly after-
wards taken. He was coming down the stairs as
President Melgarejo was going up, and before they
could enter into explanations, a soldier from behind
Melgarejo shot Belzu through the head, ending his
presidential pretensions for ever. The death of
General Belzu has given general satisfaction ; had
he lived, and could he have been successful, all
foreigners would have been expelled from the coun-
try, and our commerce would have been at an end.
Melgarejo seems inclined to carry out a liberal
policy, and I hope to see a renewal of trade."

At Grenada sugar making proceeded favourably,
and the ships in harbour were fast loading. The
whaling season appeared to have closed, no captures
being reported.
At Demerara the import market assumed a firmer
tone, owing to small arrivals. Exports of produce
continued steady, but quotations remained un-
changed. The weather was wet. Exchange on
London 90 days ruled at $476

Trinidad has been flooded with rains, and sugar
making stopped almost entirely. The crop was not
half in, and the prospect to the planters discourag-
ing. Exports proceeded steadily.

NEWSPAPER PRESS FUND.—The stewards for the
dinner to be held at Freemasons' Hall on Saturday,
the 20th, have received, gratifying communications from
Madam Clara Schumann (the distinguished German
pianists, known as Clara Vinck), and from Herr Joachim
(the famed violinist), that they will afford their valuable
services on that occasion. Mr. Sims. Reeves has kindly
consented, by special desire, to sing "The Death of Nelson."
The celebrated Swedish vocalist, Mdlle. Ennequist, Miss
Louisa Pyne, Mr. W. Harrison, &c., will also afford their
aid, Mr. Benedict again officiating as conductor.
LORD DERBY HAS PARDONED THE LORD CHAN-
CELLOR through a speech in the House, expressing
the Tory belief that the Lord Chancellor had no bad
motive in his leniency to Mr. Edmunds. He did not appear
to think that this charming leniency, when the public has
been robbed, itself implies an estimate of the nature of that
crime quite inconsistent with high places of official trust,
and we may gather from various obiter dicta of Lord
Derby's that had he been in Lord Westbury's place he
might have taken the same lenient view of embezzlement.
On Tuesday night Lord Granville proposed to revoke Mr.
Edmunds's pension—the least that could be done in such a
case— and Mr. Edmunds applied to be heard by counsel in
his own defence. The request, however, was not granted
in spite of various relentings from noble lords, who seemed
to wish for an excuse to be as lenient as Lord Westbury
on the ground that the same request had been granted and
withdrawn by Mr. Edmunds in relation to the inquii7 of
the Committee. In the end the pension was revoked with -
out a division, but not without a regret. It is curious to
see how station and the mere incidents of an affair of this
kind destroy the estimate of its criminality. We heard of
a man getting eight years, the other day, for stealing—not
embezzling—a few potatoes. Bat the higher the station
and education the less—apparently—the guilt.—Spectator.
[AnvEnnsEmEinHolloway's Pills.—Protectors of
Health.—ln the hand-to-hand struggle for existence in the
present day good health is everything. Holloway's puri-
fying, digestive, and gently laxative Pills are admirably
adapted for restoring soundness to invalids whose func-
tions are so feebly performed that life itself seems most
precarious. The stomach has its many maladies removed
by a judicious use of these Pills, the torpid liver is roused
by them to active secretion, and every other organ sub-
serving digestion is placed at its natural standard and better
fitted for its duties. It is impossible to have a doctor at
our elbow at all seasons and places, but these Pills will
supplant that -loss, for they universally act beneficially in
every ailment.
